Week of September 28th – October 3rd, 2026We’re in the waning moon cycle this week — last week’s full moon in Aries has passed, and now we wrap things up: finishing projects already in motion, clearing the desk, staying in the groove rather than starting fresh. You can still begin something new during a waning cycle, but the overall momentum favors finishing.The bigger story is that Venus goes retrograde over the weekend. So this week, lean toward projects you’ve already been considering, or picking something back up, rather than launching something brand new. Venus governs what we value, love, and are drawn to — so as it slows down, it’s not the moment to unveil a new business, product, or cosmetics line, or anything that needs a big, excited reception. If it’s already thematically what you do — an artist or designer continually generating new work, say — keep going. I’ll dig into Venus retrograde more on the day it hits, but worth keeping in mind now for anything you have coming up this month.Monday, September 28th — Wait for the Glue to SetThe moon is in Aries early, then goes void of course at 5:50 a.m. Eastern. Void-of-course moons can feel exciting but lack follow-through — if you’re itching to reach out to someone or start a conversation first thing, it may hold together better if you wait until later morning.The Moon enters Taurus at 10:40 a.m., where it’s happily placed for the next couple of days. Taurus is about appreciating what’s around you — taste, sense, touch — and being present in the body. How strongly you feel this depends on how much Earth, or Taurus, you carry in your own chart; without much, being present may not be your first instinct today.It’s worth knowing where Taurus falls in your personal horoscope, since that placement hints at what you might sink into and appreciate right now. The Sun in Libra also trines Uranus in Gemini today, which can spark a flash of inspiration or a “why don’t we do it this way?” moment. For more Taurean types, that can feel disruptive — but it can also hatch a genuinely interesting idea.Tuesday, September 29th — Be in Your BodyTaurus moon continues, and distractions or new options may surface — appealing on paper, less so if you’re already in a good groove.Monday and Tuesday can have a jack-in-the-box quality, with people tossing out different perspectives. I get this feedback often myself — full of air and water, my mind moves fast, and I want people comfortable, so I’ll offer option after option like a buffet. Some people just want one choice and to settle into it. Read the room: if you’re already moving well, stay the course despite the “what about this instead?” noise.Taurus moon’s core message is simple: be in your body, be present. It’s easy to get cavalier with health when we’re younger and things haven’t caught up with us yet — pushing harder, sleeping less, running past what the body actually wants. Use these couple of days to check in: how am I feeling, is this comfortable? If you feel overextended, notice it — it may point to a routine worth adjusting.With Venus about to retrograde in Taurus, it’s worth remembering Taurus rules the second house — money, values, and, I’d argue, the physical body, our constant material possession. Ask yourself: is my chair right, do I need to move more, stand more? Just observe for now, no action required.The moon goes void of course again at 7:36 p.m., still in Taurus, for the rest of the evening — a genuinely lovely night to rest, get cozy, and recharge.Wednesday, September 30th — Savor Morning, Then Gather InformationThe moon continues void of course into the morning, still in Taurus — and since Taurus is the moon’s exalted sign, even void of course it’s a cozy placement. Give yourself a longer morning if you can. If you can’t, stay as comfortable and present as possible; wear what feels good and move from one thing to the next with ease.The moon enters Gemini at 1:26 p.m. and stays through Thursday into Friday afternoon. From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday night, it’s in a lovely spot — gathering information and momentum as it moves. The sweetest window is late Wednesday into early Thursday morning: an excellent night to fall asleep and let the dreamscape do its work. If you’re awake during those hours instead, it’s still a rich stretch for ideas, inspiration, and support, as long as you keep your eyes, heart, and ears open.One trap of this Gemini window: the internet’s endless scroll, which can masquerade as research. Used well, it’s more like skipping stones — one idea leading to the next — genuinely productive as long as you stay on task and don’t vanish down an unrelated rabbit hole.Thursday, October 1st — Stay Aware While You MoveWednesday and Thursday are two of the week’s most dynamic, productive days — as long as you stay aware of where you’re going while you’re in ...
