Horoscope Today: September 18, 2023 (2024)

So, what if it’s Monday? You’re in the mood to get drunk and disorderly with your besties. You’re in the mood to paint the town red, pink and purple, and create new memories. Just remember Mercury may be out of retrograde, but the shadow period is still on. Resist the urge to accidentally butt-dial an ex or send a frisky 2am text you may come to regret later. As such, experimenting with unconventional forms of dating and mating may also be on the cards for some. Just make sure you spell the rules of the game before you jump into bed with someone.

Cosmic tip: It’s time to let your hair down, boo!

Manifesting mavens will tell you that you’ve just gotta keep doing *you*. You’ve gotta keep acting in alignment with your intentions and be consistent in your efforts. You don’t get to control ‘the how’ and ‘the why’ of the fruition process. Your thoughts exactly, Taurus! On the cards this week: harvest season. That, and a whole lot of surprises!

So, give thanks for the abundance and the luxuries that are so freely being poured into your chalice. Tuning your internal radio frequency to gratitude will make you a magnet for blessings!

Cosmic tip: Hello, manifesting maven!

A steady mind is your greatest gift right now, Gemini. You’re making decisions from a space of calmness. You’re able to see the big picture and put in the work required to witness steady progress. However, this growth is not something you are attached to. You understand that things manifest in divine time and that the law of cause and effect is always at play.

Cosmic tip: Congratulations! Mercury is finally out of the microwave.

If you had to sum up what retrograde season has taught you, you would say ‘don’t chase, attract!’ You understand that divine timing is always working in your favour and that everything you need will find its way into your life at the precise moment it is supposed to. So, step back and allow, beautiful. Step back and allow miracles to unfold. Open your heart and receive the love, affection, abundance and prosperity that are being sent your way right now. Overheard at the cosmic conference: who says you can’t have everything, beautiful?

Cosmic tip: Open your heart and allow yourself to receive what has always been yours.

Maybe the pain won’t just go away. Maybe the pain needs your tenderness and your loving awareness. This week, you’re being called to sit down with yourself, to cultivate silence and to embark upon that metaphorical journey within. If your healing requires you to reach out to the other and have a certain conversation, then reach to the other and have that conversation. Just know that everybody here has free will and that we don’t get to control the outcome of our actions.

Cosmic tip: Contemplate what emotional catharsis means to you.

We get it, Virgo. Sometimes, it lasts in love. Sometimes, it leaves scars in the most unimaginable places. The important thing to remember at this point is that things are happening for, and not to you. Your higher self is holding space for you to cleanse and purge so you can create space for the new. It’s to elevate, wild one! It’s time to visualise the best possible scenario and trust the Universe to meet you there. Just a reminder: don’t spend all your time “doing the work”, though. Make time for leisure and for pleasure. Make time for play.

Cosmic tip: The light at the end of the tunnel is real.

Monday morning reminder: your failure doesn’t define you. Your ability to get up and show despite what happened in the past is the real game changer, Libra. So, get up and show up despite what happened yesterday, and the day before, and the day before. Something tells us you have the ability to make your wildest dreams come true right now! When it comes to love and romance, the cards are bringing your attention to a suitor who is as affectionate as they are passionate. Have a va-va-voom week ahead, wild one!

Cosmic tip: Get up and show up! The Universe will take care of the rest.

The bad news: you cannot alter your circ*mstances. The good news: you can choose to respond differently. So, respond differently, Scorpio. Make a decision that supports your highest and greatest good and cut cords with the past if you need to. It’s true that the unknown can be an intimidating place to be at. Consider this as your reminder to practise patience and to allow yourself to make a few mistakes along the way. Oh, and one more thing! If you’ve been thinking about getting back with an ex, take a moment to remember as to why things didn’t work out between the two of you in the first place.

Cosmic tip: You have the power to create a new reality by responding differently.

We get it, Sagittarius. You can’t always be love, light and ‘positivity’. But, you don’t have to sulk until the end of time, either. Understand that things are happening for, and not to you. Understand that Spirit’s got a plan for you and sometimes the manifestation of what is alignment with your highest and greatest good requires the annihilation of what isn’t. Breathe, let go of your false sense of control and sip on a spicy margarita while sh*t goes down. It’s all a simulation anyway!

Cosmic tip: This too shall pass.

We get it, Capricorn! You’re feeling like the belle of every ball and you’re thriving on all the attention you’re receiving at this moment. Here’s the thing, though: your suitors may or may not understand that you’re merely playing along for the sake of playing along. So, tread cautiously lest you leave a trail of broken hearts behind. It’s a good idea to communicate with clarity and let others know what it is that you’re looking for.

Cosmic tip: You don’t want to leave a trail of broken hearts behind.

Food for thought, Aquarius: are you attached to the story of victimhood? In what manner are you perpetuating the same old cycles? Most importantly, how can you break free from the old cycles and find freedom? If you feel like you’re walking through a dark tunnel, it’s because you probably are. However, like everything else in life, this feeling that you’re feeling is but ephemeral. So, do yourself a favour and hit the reset button. Visualise the best possible outcome and do the work required to create this brand new reality you imagine for yourself. The universe has your back, beautiful!

Cosmic tip: Break the cycle.

You are at peace with where you are and you’re at peace with what’s unfolding. You understand that the divine plan is truly perfect and that you’re supported in more ways than you can imagine. Start the week by indulging in sacred self-rituals of your choice or take yourself out to a place you love. This could be a cafe that serves homemade deliciousness, a sanctuary where you can indulge in a healing massage, a sacred place where you feel connected to the divine forces or the wild, unknown where you can dance under the stars. If it brings a smile to your face and awakens the song of your soul, know that you’re on the right track.

Cosmic tip: Indulge in sacred self-care. Take yourself out to your favourite place.
