Astrology Forecast for September 14-20, 2026

💫 To Make the Most of This Week:

Yet another Neptune-Pluto sextile peaks this week.  It's part of a rare planetary configuration between the outer planets that is active throughout 2025-2028.  Think of it as the long-lasting backdrop of our current astrological landscape - and a very powerful backdrop at that! You can read about it here. 

As far as this week, here is what to prioritize and to sidestep: 

• Monday and Tuesday can be highly productive as long as you harness your energy toward your goals. Tackle your big tasks for the week. (Sun sextile Mars)
  
  
• On Wednesday, indulge your sense of adventure.  Try a new ethnic restaurant. Start planning your next big trip.  Do something that breaks the routine. (Moon in Sagittarius). 
  
  
• Words can be cutting on Thursday and Friday.  Stay kind.  Don't schedule important presentations and negotiations, and save sensitive conversations for Sept. 20-21 (Mercury opposite Saturn). 
  
  
• Saturday has no major aspects - relax and enjoy!
  
  
• Mercury-Jupiter sextile starts building on Sunday.  Encourage your kids - or yourself - with a pep talk.  Start brainstorming your future.

“I’ve had a few readings with Daria now, including my Live Solar Return reading, and I genuinely look forward to them.

I’ll be honest, sometimes I’m a little skeptical in the moment… and then a week later something she mentioned unfolds and I’m like, “okay, wow.”
