Your Weekly Horoscope Says a New Moon Is Helping You Hit the Restart Button

Your horoscope for the week of September 10 to 16 arrives bearing good news, especially if Mercury retrograde has been dragging down your mood and your motivation levels. The cosmos are approaching a point of renewal, giving you a chance to start fresh and hit the reset button.

The week begins with a few surprises and shakeups, as a dramatic Leo moon squares off with larger-than-life Jupiter on September 11 and erratic Uranus on September 12. Emotional tensions will rise, fall, and veer left when you least expect it, but changing things up will lead to the ultimate inspiration. These shockwaves pave the way for positive improvements by September 14, when a new moon in Virgo shows you what still needs fixing. While Virgo can be a highly critical zodiac sign, especially while Mercury—Virgo’s ruling planet—is still retrograde—it is also deeply motivated to find a solution to the problem. Because the new moon is always a moment of renewal and rejuvenation, this is a powerful opportunity to refresh your mind, body, and spirit. Virgo is the zodiac sign of health—both mental and physical—so nurture your well-being by taking care of your body, calming your mind, and celebrating your progress, even if you feel very far behind. Virgo is a zodiac sign that wants you to take life one step at a time.

Luckily, Mercury retrograde comes to an end just one day later, stationing retrograde at 8 degrees Virgo on September 15. Although you may feel some elevated confusion and disorganization as Mercury begins to shift gears, you can rest assured that the brain fog is clearing up and things are starting to make so much more sense. As the Virgo sun forms a trine with innovative Uranus on the same day, you will feel motivated to embrace a new aspect of your personality; especially if it is a part of yourself you discovered during Mercury retrograde.

Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming week, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):
