Aries Weekly Horoscope
There are three planets in your sign, all of which are retrograde, so if things seem to be going backward before they go forward, stalled, or could do with reassessment, it's worth taking the time. A full moon activating your social sphere is a great reason to let your hair down and enjoy time with friends. It's also the perfect week to tap into collective resources and the hive mind. Peaking on Saturday, why not request it lights up the path, a significant person, or whatever it is you're looking for, even if you're loose on detail. Anytime Mars changes signs is significant since it's your 'ruling' planet. This week, it shifts into your opposite sign of Libra. Since this planet represents action and energy, it prefers to muscle up in Aries; in Libra, it's all about the art of diplomacy and negotiation, which could prove frustrating, or take it as a challenge. Apply patience to will and charm to your never-say-die attitude, and you'll meet your objective, Aries; it may just take a little more talk time than usual. Build your case and make it irresistible.
Taurus Weekly Horoscope
As Mars, the planet of energy and action, heads up the sign of harmony-loving Libra, charm gets us where we need to be, and that's alright by you. You prefer walk to talk, so it could be up to you to catch the energy of a conversation or chat thread and ground it down to an actionable. In your sphere of work and routine, this could be a fine time to team up to get the job done. Or say yes to a gym/yoga/walk buddy. The lunar cycle builds over the week, culminating in a full moon on Saturday, activating your career and public sector. That supports building to a soft launch, presentation, or spotlighting an opportunity. You're naturally quite visible over this one and can more easily touch hearts as others feel emotionally connected to you as you are to your audience or professional arena. A challenge to your sign is to remain detached and objective around your ideals. This one calls you to consider the group or larger picture rather than specifically 'what's in it for me'. With a social flavour, it's perfect for making a unique yet meaningful contact, say hi, and open up the conversation.
Gemini Weekly Horoscope
With Mars, the planet of action and seizing the moment, dashing into your sphere of leisure, creative self-expression, and romantic gestures, set up that double date, poolside rendezvous, or pen your fantasy set to your fave genre. Through September 22, the pen is mightier than the sword, so talk your way in and out of everything. Since Mercury is still retrograde, this could be the time to assess the best approach; take your time. Weigh it up before making a move or any major decisions. Saturday's full moon in your sphere of travel, higher education, media, and philosophy highlights big ideas, conversations, and far-flung tribe that share your vibe. Plan for a social weekend and mix foreign culture with intelligentsia, plan a trip, or research that potential study pathway. There's a lot of airy spaciousness and fast-paced connections available, so reach out to that person or people you want to connect with. You never know, they may say yes! Keep it long-form and meaningful rather than sticking to banter for the win.
Cancer Weekly Horoscope
Planet of action and energy, Mars, activates your domestic sphere through September 22, making it the perfect time for anything involving energy around the home. Painting and decorating? Perfect. Use your energy to polish, update, or create a new aesthetic. Perhaps it's not your home, it's a project; partner up and create something of beauty. A full moon in your sphere of mystery, intimacy, and benefits through others would make it the perfect time to indulge in sci-fi mystery. Aliens, activism, and a friend's very large TV? Get the popcorn ready and get comfy. Whatever it is, this full lunar light illuminates where you join forces with others, so see how you could indeed benefit from others assisting you, pooling resources, or finding your place in the group. There's enough detachment to approach matters of the heart with someone close to you, so share both ways.
Leo Weekly Horoscope
As we cruise through your birthday month, mighty Mars rolls into the cooperative sign Libra, activating your sphere of local connections and environment. Get out and about one-on-one or with a small cultivated posse to catch up and explore local events. A Glamorous brunch or lunch? Absolutely!! This is your ongoing celebration of all things leonine, joyous, and creative. Stay on the positive side of drama and remember to laugh it off where needed; boss/queen up as the occasion demands. We must all wear many hats, er, crowns these days! Getting things done is better with two right now, so enlist assistance and remember to offer yours to a community endeavour, sibling, or neighbour in need. Saturday's full moon highlights your relationship zone, get thee to a party, event, or perhaps a reading and book launch since there's an intellectual side to this one. Organise your plus one or go with a couple of friends and meet someone interesting there!
Virgo Weekly Horoscope
As Mars, the planet of action and energy, swings out of your sign and into the next, it activates your sphere of income, resources, and values. Take a balanced approach to this area and consider how teaming up could benefit your bottom line. If you have values around beauty, cooperation, and fairness, how do you go about earning or building your financial resources or possessions in alignment with them? A full moon on Saturday suggests the week leading up is building in tension, excitement, and conversation, especially around work, and fuelling your interest in health and wellness. Be sure to balance this peak of energy with time alone to process, integrate, and come back to your centre. With a focus on group activity as well as the needs of the collective, whether that's the people in your immediate work environment or extended, note who you feel connected to. Perhaps there's just the right amount of space and closeness, conversation and ideas that make you feel you belong, yet maintain your essential independence. A team bonding catch-up with your favourites would be beneficial and give you food for thought this week.
Libra Weekly Horoscope
Mighty Mars swings into your sign on Wednesday, amping up your wattage and fuelling your love of teaming up. It also suggests getting in the driver's seat if you aren't already! Put your foot on the gas re a project, or something that could benefit from energy, drive, and will power through September 22. Teamwork makes the dream work much of the time; however, don't just team up for the sake of it, be sure it's a great, mutually amplifying fit, and the boundaries or extent of where it's beneficial. Mars is a lusty planet, so if you're feeling more come hither than usual, now you know why! Again, check your sights and be sure it's really what you want in the way you want it. Direct your dream scenario if not! A full moon activates your sphere of romance, leisure, and self-expression on Saturday, so note themes, attractions, and interests jockeying for your attention. Balance your friendships and larger social connections with your personal interests and time off. People, your weekend with conversationalists over exhibitionists.
Scorpio Weekly Horoscope
As the planet representing how and where we use our energy, drive, and self-assertion, activates your sphere of liminal space, rest, and spirituality, it's time to gear down every now and then. Charge your batteries, turn your energy in, and plug into that cosmic space within sleep or zoning out through art, music, or film. This is also a wonderful time for dating and enjoying a special connection with a partner or someone close and convivial. If you share a spiritual or artistic interest, then even better. On Saturday, a full moon lights up your domestic sphere, so note what it highlights! Host a party, invite your wackiest friends, and don't worry too much if it's all a bit random. Consider creating a theme to bring everyone together, like crafting, a card, or word game. If you collectively create something even better. Balance your domestic life with what and who you need to be in your career. If you've been burning the candle, this is your sign to nest into your base in a way that supports you to get out there and shine your brightest.
Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope
This weekend a second full moon in your sign brings things to a peak as well as a conclusion. Make use of the heightened energy by getting social, taking care of a responsibility, or formalizing a commitment. Note your inner terrain since full moons are about our emotional life. How are you feeling? What are you drawn to? Are your senses of self and identity aligned with what makes you feel secure, nurtured, and loved? And are you meeting those needs yourself (i.e., self-care, self-love, and compassion)? This is a good time to assess what that means for you and set the bar for how others treat you. The sun (in dramatic Leo) activates your sphere of intimacy and mystery from Monday. Let's not take ourselves too seriously; invite a sense of playfulness into the bedroom and consider role play, characters, and costumes. Could be fun—experiment!
Capricorn Weekly Horoscope
La luna rolls through your sign Tuesday to Thursday, so attend to business while you're feeling it. Duty may call, as it sooften does, so it's best to get things in order before the weekend's full moon draws you out and into social mode. Activating your sphere of resources and values, there could be a purchase of tech, knowledge, or is that you making time to find an ethical investment strategy. The power of the group can be a force, so note what is illuminated in your investigations or conversations. Balance your personal finances and belongings with your shared resources or income. Mars brings will and drive to your career sector from midweek, so make like a diplomat where appropriate in your run for empire, your public image will benefit. Cooperative leadership pushes your needle forward while mutually benefiting others; look for where alliances help fuel your ambition.
Aquarius Weekly Horoscope
Rise and shine, there's a full moon in your sign this Saturday, Aquarius! Full tilt luna light tends to correlate with a heightened energy, active mind, and in this case, sociability. Since you're all about the group, why not get ahead of the curve and plan an event or attend one? If a large special interest event is on, head in and mingle if it's up your alley, you're curious, or you're just feeling open to discovery and exploration. If you want to lie low, work through and develop an idea, or binge a social experiment-based series. Note what major theme or themes are headlining for you this week. And what feelings bubble up since the moon is all about it! Note where your intellect may intercept your heart, so instead of feeling with your body, you intellectualise with your mind. Basically, is it happening below or above your neck? Balance your outlook and direction with what you need in a relationship, your partner, or best one-to-one's. Perhaps you're bringing the cool, calm, and disarming approach while not so subtly drawn to charismatic types. See Lena Dunham's latest series, 'Too Much', for inspo!
Pisces Weekly Horoscope
If you love movies like most born under the sign of the fantasy-loving fishes, catch Freakier Friday at the cinema and immerse yourself in its topsy-turvy fun drama. If it's off beat, it's on brand for this Saturday's full moon. This lunation highlights your sphere of liminal space and spirituality vs work, routine, reality, and grounding into the everyday. Spend some time solo in contemplation, get extra rest, and keep up habits that fuel your trajectory throughout the day; it's all about balance. Write in a dream journal throughout the week (mornings) and note what emotional cues, hooks, or hunches come up as the sky brightens with the lunar cycle. From midweek, Mars activates your sphere of intimacy and other people's resources. Keep your actions private and consider teaming up if not steaming up some windows. This one is on the romantic side if you want it to be. For now, two is better than one if you want something done. Use your energy to balance, decorate, create beauty and harmony as well as negotiate peacefully through Sept 22.

How Andy Roddick swapped his tennis racquet for a mic and served up a hit podcast
When Andy Roddick launched his tennis podcast Served back in January 2024 with an episode recapping the Australian Open alongside the journalist, author and broadcaster Jon Wertheim, the American Hall-of-Famer was looking to just have some fun. 'I don't know that we thought it was going to really be anything, which was kind of a superpower,' Roddick told The National in an interview at Wimbledon last month. 'Because if you don't have any expectations, you're not really scared of anything. 'For me it's been great, because I'm a bit of a tennis nerd, and so when we can invite people on, I can ask them all the questions that I would never bother them with in private. So selfishly it's a nice little gig.' It's shaping up to be not so little. It turns out lots of people enjoy listening to Roddick geek out over tennis. The former world No 1 quizzes his guests with such infectious passion and curiosity, you can easily forget he also happens to be a US Open champion and three-time Wimbledon finalist. 'He's sort of the Hall of Fame resume with the perspective of the common fan who is still asking questions,' is how his frequent co-host Wertheim describes him. 'I feel like he's always been, from when he was a teenager, he's always been very witty. And there's an element of self-deprecation that comes with it. 'He's very observant. He's good at communicating in plain speak. And he's sort of this mixture of … he sees the game through a fan's [eyes]. There's not this curse of expertise. He understands the fan's perspective, but also has this accumulated knowledge of having played in major finals.' From the get-go, Roddick and Wertheim tackled all the hot topics dominating the tennis headlines, while delivering an episode every Tuesday covering the week gone by on tour. Whether it's breaking down the doping cases of Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek, or discussing gender inequality in the sport, or scrutinising some of the bold claims made by the player association PTPA, Roddick rarely shied away from speaking his mind. Together with Wertheim, producer Mike Hayden, techie Sean Wilcoxson, and Sophie Cabaniss, who is responsible for social media, Roddick created a podcast that filled a gap in the tennis media space, where someone with his level of expertise provided fresh takes on a weekly basis straight to people's smartphones. 'Here was kind of the general thought with producer Mike when we were looking at it – Earth pays attention to tennis eight weeks a year [during the Grand Slams], right? In unison. That's a lot of football field left,' explained Roddick. 'And there was really no place on a random Tuesday to go get a story told, or get an update on tournaments that you couldn't watch for time zone reasoning or anything else. So our idea was kind of try to attack that open space a little bit more and provide a little bit of continuity. 'Not something here, something there, but every Tuesday when you wake up, it'll be there. And if you care enough to listen to it, then great. 'We didn't think that we needed a studio, we didn't think we needed all of the things if the storytelling was good enough; whether it be first-person experience, or other people who were smarter coming on and giving us their time.' A few episodes in, Roddick started inviting guests to join him on the show, initially bringing in former players he has a good relationship with, like Kim Clijsters, James Blake, Lindsay Davenport, and Mardy Fish, coaches like Brad Gilbert, and agents like Max Eisenbud, who provided great insight into what it takes to manage the careers of superstars like Maria Sharapova, Li Na and Emma Raducanu. He interviewed current players like Danielle Collins, Aryna Sabalenka, Madison Keys, and most recently Iga Swiatek, and had revealing, in-depth conversations with Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi. 'It was something that was largely ignored, that tennis coverage still largely centres around live rights. Those are expensive. It's not something that anyone with an opinion can do,' said Roddick. 'Meeting people where they're at, on the internet or on audio, is not expensive. So it's something that could be done easily. So we were kind of in the camp of 'why not?'. And then we started, and kind of a couple people listened, then more people listened, and now more people listen.' For years now, experts have claimed the sports podcast market is saturated and it's difficult for a new show to gain traction. Served with Andy Roddick is disproving that theory. A year and a half in, it has climbed the Apple charts to become the No 1 tennis podcast in the United States, and in several other markets. With 150,000 subscribers on YouTube, and another 150,000 followers on Instagram, Roddick's show is one of just two tennis podcasts currently ranked in the top 100 in sports on the US Apple charts. 'I think sports in general, people watch the actual competition less and less, but they care more and more about everything else in the community. So I think that was something we thought we were going to be tapping into,' said Wertheim. Last December, it was announced that Served has partnered with Vox Media to handle the show's sales, marketing and distribution duties as part of a multi-year deal. I think sports in general, people watch the actual competition less and less, but they care more and more about everything else in the community Andy Roddick Tennis can be a difficult sport to follow, given the ever-changing time zones and the fragmented TV rights deals that often require fans to pay for multiple subscriptions to watch the matches all year round. Even videos of match highlights can be geo-blocked on social media, making it even more frustrating for tennis aficionados. Podcasts cut through all that, which makes it a medium perfectly suited for tennis, according to Wertheim. He also believes Roddick has an edge over many pundits because there isn't much preventing him from speaking his mind. 'When you're trying to get a coaching gig, you're not going to be as candid as you might otherwise. Andy, to his credit, there's no sacred cows. There's full transparency. If there's a conflict, he'll disclose it,' he said. Roddick is not active on social media and only knows if a clip from the podcast has gone viral if a friend or his producer sends it to him. His philosophy on giving strong opinions on the podcast is that it must always come with context. 'My stance is, I think it's okay to, I don't want to say criticise, but to have an opinion on someone, as long as you tell the reason why, whatever it is, is hard. I think for a long time, tennis analysts have acted almost like it's too easy,' said Roddick. 'You don't want to be the player that walked uphill both ways to school. So if you have a criticism, say, this person's struggling, this pattern is hard, explain why. Why it's a struggle and how they can improve. Don't just say, this person's playing badly, I think that's generally lazy.' Roddick's personal highlights so far have been interviewing Nadal and Agassi. With Nadal, he got into the nitty gritty details of how the Spaniard approached the matches with his two biggest rivals, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. 'In terms of ball control, Novak is the best I ever played, and I ever saw,' Nadal told Roddick, explaining how there was less of a clear game plan against the Serb compared to his clashes with Federer. Against the Swiss, Nadal said the strategy was both simple and obvious to anyone watching – he just relentlessly targeted Federer's backhand until it broke down. 'For me, he was making a little bit mistake against me at the beginning of his career that he was trying to play from his backhand again with topspin, so he gave me the chance to keep hitting forehands against his backhand,' said Nadal. 'At the end of his career he started to go in, taking more risk. He was playing, for me, honestly 2017, for a while, was the best level of his career. You felt like you were in his hands. He played very, very aggressive and his serve was so difficult to read.' A beaming Roddick quickly jumped in and gushed about how Federer had the ability to hit seven different serves off of the same ball toss. That segment of the conversation alone amassed over 800,000 views on YouTube. With Agassi, Roddick listened intently to his idol talk about his conflicted feelings about tennis. 'Let's just get to the heart of it: I never chose tennis, right from day one. News alert, the most controversial thing in my book came on page one that I hated tennis. I'm not making that up,' said Agassi. 'I saw what it did to my family, I saw what it did to relationships, it always meant too much, I always resented it. It didn't mean that I wasn't good at it, but you can be motivated through two things in your life: fear or love and it was fear that was driving me.' In last week's episode, Roddick got freshly-crowned Wimbledon champion Swiatek to open up about her contamination case, detailing the exact moment she found out about her failed doping test and how it affected her emotional state for many months after she'd been cleared. Roddick admits there isn't a concrete plan for the podcast moving forward as they continue to learn as they go. 'There are people I want to interview. Obviously, I want to sit down with Roger [Federer] and sit down with Serena [Williams], but I also think the timing has to be right for those things,' said Roddick of his vision for what's next. 'I'm confident those type of things will happen. Those are my favourite shows. Those are the ones I get nervous for. But I don't know. We'll see. We don't want to just be a show. We want to be a media company.'
