We’ll be blessed with an extra dose of confidence under this aspect, making it an exciting time to socialize, explore new relationships and invest in the people you care most about.

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, September 9, 2024.

Aries

You’re a powerhouse, Aries. And after battling some rocky terrain lately, you’ll be ready to get back into your groove and plow through your to-do list this week. If you have your eye on tackling any larger projects, you may want to enlist your loved ones for some extra assistance — just be sure that you really sell them on your plan before you start delegating. Meanwhile, it’ll be in your best interest to keep your opinions to yourself during this period, as even your most well-intentioned thoughts could come out wrong. Self-editing can help you avoid any awkwardness or confusion. 

Taurus

Embrace your vulnerability, Taurus. This week, you’re encouraged to speak from the heart and focus on connecting with people on a more meaningful level. You may even find that opening up inspires you to be more courageous in other avenues of your life. Take advantage of this energy to pursue any creative or personal goals that may have previously felt out of reach. Meanwhile, if a loved one reaches out to you with a problem, ensure that your thoughts are well-constructed before you dole out any advice — poorly chosen words could quickly lead to hurt feelings if you’re not careful. 

Gemini

Does it feel like you’re being pulled in multiple directions, Gemini? This week, try to give yourself some room to breathe. Then, if you need a little guidance on where to go next, you may find it helpful to tap into your partnerships. A little advice from someone you trust could be particularly powerful when it comes to sorting out financial matters. Use this moment to take an honest look at your spending and brainstorm ways to tighten your purse strings. Then, on the weekend, your charisma will be at an all-time high. Have fun flexing your flirtation skills and capturing the heart of anyone who crosses your path. 

Cancer

Feeling a little overwhelmed, Cancer? While it might seem like the sky is falling at the start of this week, know that your growing list of responsibilities is nothing you can’t handle. Instead of trying to juggle multiple things at once, do your best to focus on one task at a time. When you hone your attention, you leave less room for mistakes that might end up slowing you down. Meanwhile, on the career front, you may find that thinking out loud with someone you trust encourages you to seek out fresh opportunities to explore your passions. Start talking about what you want to achieve, and prepare to connect the dots. 

Leo

So at the start of the week, be sure to carve out time to prepare your talking points and set yourself up for success. And if you feel your confidence start to waver, remember that you can back up your insights with valuable experience. Come mid-week, you may want to hold off on bouncing stray thoughts off of friends and acquaintances within your professional network. Instead of letting yourself get swept up by new ideas, redirect your attention toward finishing the projects you’ve already started. 

Virgo

Your enthusiasm for your work is intoxicating, Virgo. And this week, you could feel an added rush of motivation to go after new creative or career goals.
