Even the cosmos needs to downshift sometimes.

This weekend, that’s what it will feel like, but have no doubt, Edit Insiders.

Underneath the quiet, silky surface of the next few days, things are unfolding.

Your only job: Trust the process. Loosen the grip and breathe out. Slowly. If you think you’re in control, this is the weekend to lighten up. In fact, feel free to realize how ridiculous you can be.

The cosmos has plans for you, darling.

You can fritter away valuable time trying to prepare for the ultimate unknown — tomorrow or well, let’s be real, later today — stock up the pantry, have the go bag ready and make sure there’s gas in the car, the bills are paid and the trash is on the curb at the appointed time.

The illusion of control is amusing, especially after a week where the sky threw out enough energy to change your path in big and little ways.

How about you let go and see what kind of energy you allow in?

Life is the ultimate come-as-you-are party.

That’s this weekend’s energy. Use it well.

Friday: Fluffy cloud-like energy rules the day. Use the soft focus ushered in by dreamy Pisces to be kind to yourself — doing little-to-nothing is the most productive use of the energy around you. Ironic, huh?

Saturday: More of the same weather on tap, with shifting winds late morning. Mercury and Uranus have a bit of a to-do, leaving you to pick up the pieces. Something may pop into your head suddenly — don’t dismiss it. It’s there for a reason.

Sunday: Atmospheric changes may put you or those around you in a rather unpredictable mood. Unrealistic expectations may cause a bit of friction to roll in and change the course of the weekend. Late afternoon, Moon in Aries relieves Pisces of weekend duties. Want and movement start to take hold.

Monday: Hello, momentum, you feel smashing today. The Aries Moon gets a spectacular run of support — connecting with Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter reporting for duty and forming a trine to the Leo Sun early afternoon ET. What that means for you? Glad you asked. Confidence returns. Energy rises. What felt vague over the weekend suddenly looks actionable.

Late in the day, Chiron stations retrograde in Taurus, beginning a longer look inward at worth, security and the things we thought we had already healed. Then the Moon meets Saturn Monday evening, adding one final message:

Go for it. Just make sure you mean it.

Stop trying to manage perceived reality.

FIRE SIGNS (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Patience, darling.

Friday and Saturday may feel like the universe turned the speed down without consulting you. Let it. Trying to force movement under a Pisces Moon is a fabulous way to waste energy. Haven’t you learned that yet?

Your moment arrives late Sunday, when the Moon moves into Aries. By Monday, the sky is speaking fluent fire, with the Aries Moon getting a boost from Jupiter and the Leo Sun.

Suddenly, you're not waiting for the energy. You are the energy.

Magnetism Move: Downshift until the energy turns. You’ll know when it happens.

EARTH SIGNS (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

You may be the element most tempted to fight this weekend.

Pisces energy doesn't care about your spreadsheet, schedule or beautifully constructed Plan B. Things may drift, change or simply refuse to happen on command.

That's not failure, darling. It's information.

Use Friday and Saturday to notice what happens when you stop managing every variable. Sunday afternoon and Monday bring far more actionable energy — and Monday evening's Saturn influence helps you turn inspiration into something solid.

Magnetism Move: If you can’t loosen your grip and roll with the energy, then keep yourself so damn busy you can’t do any damage.

AIR SIGNS (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Your brain would like answers. The cosmos is offering vibes.

That could get interesting.

Friday and Saturday favor intuition over analysis, while Mercury and Uranus toss a little static into the signal. Resist the urge to turn every stray thought into a theory. Some information needs time before it becomes useful.

Once the Moon hits Aries Sunday afternoon, things get much easier. Fire feeds air. Ideas move. Conversations pick up. Decisions come faster.

Magnetism Move: Your favorite game of connecting the dots is not to be played until late Sunday.

WATER SIGNS (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

You get first dibs on the weekend.

Friday and Saturday’s Pisces Moon speaks your language: intuitive, emotional, perceptive and decidedly uninterested in explaining itself. Wear it like you own it, because you do.

Sunday afternoon, the energy turns to fire. Take whatever you figured out while everyone else was busy thinking and do something with it.

Magnetism Move: Feel it, then act on it. Not the other way around.
