The week from September 14 to 20 promises to be very energetic and eventful. On the one hand, it gives us an excellent opportunity to move forward, put plans into action, and take on matters that we have long been postponing. On the other hand, this very week will bring the themes of money, power, ambition, jealousy, difficult negotiations, and hidden processes into particularly sharp focus. Astrologer Kseniia Bazylenko told UNN readers exclusively about what the stars and planets predict for this week.
Details
Astrologer Kseniia Bazylenko notes that the Moon continues to wax, which means that now is a good time for growth, launching new ventures, and taking active steps. The important personal planets are not currently creating a difficult retrograde backdrop. We should take advantage of this, because the situation will begin to change as early as October, when we will face the retrograde cycles of Venus and, later, Mercury.
At the beginning of the week, the harmonious interaction between the Sun and Mars provides additional strength. We may feel more energy, confidence, and a desire to act. Therefore, my first piece of advice is very simple: do not put off until later what can be started now. But I certainly would not call this week calm
Black Moon in Capricorn: trials involving power and ambition
One of the most important astrological events of this period will be the transition of the Black Moon, or Lilith, into the sign of Capricorn. We may have begun to feel its influence in recent weeks, and ahead lies approximately nine months of a new cycle
According to her, the Black Moon is not a planet but a calculated astrological point. In the astrological tradition, it is associated with our shadow manifestations, temptations, extremes, and situations in which it is particularly easy to lose our sense of proportion. Capricorn, meanwhile, represents power, status, career, major ambitions, hierarchy, and responsibility.
On a personal level, the next nine months may become a kind of test of our ambitions. What do we seek, and what price are we prepared to pay to achieve it? Are position, money, status, or the desire to control others becoming more important than our own principles? This period may be particularly revealing for managers, business owners, and people with significant powers. In mundane astrology, the spotlight shifts to the state and government institutions. Abuses of power, non-transparent agreements, struggles for positions and influence, corruption scandals, and weak points in large systems may come to the surface more often. The Black Moon in Capricorn seems to illuminate the summit of the system—and reveals not only its strength but also what has long remained in the shadows
Venus and Pluto: when feelings become too intense
Another of the week's main aspects, according to the astrologer, is the square between Venus and Pluto, which will manifest particularly strongly on September 15.
And this truly is an aspect of great passions. Venus is in Scorpio, so feelings are already becoming deeper and more intense. Pluto can amplify them to extremes. Strong attraction may coexist with jealousy, resentment, possessiveness, and a desire to control the person we love. So take care of your relationships. This especially applies to young couples, where intense emotions can very quickly turn a minor argument into a serious conflict. Do not test love through jealousy, and do not try to hold on to another person through the force of your emotions
She emphasizes that Scorpios, Tauruses, Aquariuses, and Leos may be particularly sensitive to this configuration, especially if important points in their personal birth charts fall within the degrees of the aspect. At the same time, the astrologer says, Venus is not only about love. It also represents money, values, and our desire to possess.
Therefore, make sure that the desire to gain more does not turn into greed, an obsession with profit, or unjustified financial risk. In mundane astrology, this square may intensify issues involving large sums of money, struggles for resources and spheres of influence, sanctions, financial pressure, hidden economic interests, and corruption. The emergence of prominent information about non-transparent financial agreements cannot be ruled out
Also, according to the expert, Venus is connected with diplomacy, so negotiations may resemble hard bargaining, when very specific political and economic interests lie behind beautiful words about compromise.
This week, not only the question of who wants what may become important, but also what price they are willing to pay for what they want
Mercury-Saturn: Reaching an agreement will not be easy
Ksenia Bazylenko also emphasized that in the second half of the week, Mercury in Libra forms an opposition to Saturn in Aries. According to her, on a personal level this may complicate negotiations and communication. Responses may be delayed, documents may require additional approval, and people may become more categorical and less willing to make concessions.
Therefore, check documents more carefully, leave extra time for important matters, and do not try to obtain an immediate response at any cost
She added that this aspect may be especially noticeable for Libras and Aries, again depending on the individual horoscope.
In mundane astrology, Mercury is associated with negotiations, information, documents, transport, and trade, while Saturn is associated with borders and restrictions. Therefore, difficult international negotiations, tough conditions, delays in reaching agreements, as well as logistical problems may arise: delays or restrictions at borders, in ports, and on maritime and other important transport routes. Achieving a quick compromise where the parties have already adopted principled positions will not be easy
What the stars foretell for Ukraine
For Ukraine, the week looks extremely eventful. According to my calculations, the opposition of Mercury and Saturn creates a tense configuration with Neptune and the Black Moon in the XII house of Ukraine’s horoscope. And this is a very interesting combination for the information space. The XII house is associated with what happens behind the scenes: secrets, closed processes, and hidden information. Therefore, there may be many scandals this week. Documents, investigations, high-profile statements, or information about what was previously being concealed may emerge. This may particularly concern government structures and officials. But Neptune has another side—confusion, manipulation, and disinformation. Therefore, not every loud sensation will necessarily prove to be true. Check your sources
The expert considers the square of transiting Jupiter to natal Pluto to be even more important for Ukraine.
Jupiter is currently moving through the seventh house of Ukraine’s horoscope—the sphere of international partners, alliances, agreements, and open adversaries. Pluto is located in the ninth house and, in the system I use, is also connected with the tenth house—state power and leadership. This may indicate a serious international situation surrounding Ukraine, tough negotiations, a clash of interests, or strong pressure surrounding an important political decision
According to her, questions of international law, alliances, obligations, the position of partners, and the country’s further foreign-policy course may come to the fore.
An international scandal affecting Ukraine or its leadership cannot be ruled out either. Jupiter increases the scale, while Pluto is associated with power and the struggle for control. Therefore, this may no longer be about ordinary diplomacy, but about a struggle for influence and the right to determine the subsequent rules of the game
At the same time, the second half of the week also brings very interesting positive indicators for Ukraine, the expert says.
I would especially highlight September 18–20. Mars in Ukraine’s horoscope receives strong support from favorable aspects, and on September 18, the Sun in conjunction with the White Moon activates the country’s natal Mars. In mundane astrology, Mars is associated with the Armed Forces, defense capability, military initiative, and the state’s active actions. Therefore, this period may open up good opportunities for Ukraine and the Defense Forces: effective actions, successful strategic decisions, stronger positions, or good news related to the military sphere
Separately, Kseniia Bazylenko also draws attention to the night of September 18–19, when the Moon activates the Black Moon in Capricorn. According to her, in global events, the themes of power, leadership, responsibility, reputation, and society’s reaction to the decisions of those who “are at the top” may become especially pronounced for a short time.
Also, against the backdrop of the week’s tense configurations, the astrologer draws attention to natural processes as well.
From the perspective of astrological tradition, a combination of strong tense aspects may symbolically coincide with periods of increased natural instability. Therefore, during the week I do not rule out strong winds, storm phenomena, and heightened seismic activity in certain regions of the world
Kseniia Bazylenko’s main advice for the week
According to her, despite the tension of certain aspects, this is not a week for passive waiting.
We have energy, a waxing Moon, and Mars’s good potential. So attend to your affairs, launch projects, work, plan, negotiate, and move forward with what is important to you. But remember the other side of this period: do not allow ambitions to turn into greed, love into control, confidence into arrogance, or the desire to win into a willingness to step over others
At the same time, according to the astrologer, this week may reveal much in the world that previously remained behind the scenes.
Big money, power, international interests, and the struggle for influence may become especially prominent. And in personal life, the best strategies remain common sense, respect for others, and the ability to stop in time where emotions begin to control us. Act boldly, but do not lose your judgment
Forecast for all zodiac signs for the period from September 14 to 20, 2026
Kseniia Bazylenko noted that the Sun continues its movement through Virgo, so the general mood of the week encourages us to be practical, put things in order, and resolve matters that require attention to detail. But this period will open up its own theme for each sign.
Aries
There may be more things to deal with this week than you expected. Work, daily responsibilities, and organizational matters will require discipline, but now you can quickly sort out what has accumulated recently. The main thing is not to be too stubborn. In the second half of the week, you may feel that only your position is correct, making it more difficult to reach an agreement with others. Check documents, correspondence, dates, and the terms of agreements especially carefully.
Advice: do not waste energy on arguments where a small compromise will resolve the problem much faster.
Taurus
This may be quite a vivid week for you. You will want to devote more attention to yourself, love, creativity, children, leisure, and everything that brings pleasure. But your feelings may be stronger than usual. Do not provoke jealousy or try to test your relationships’ strength. If a conflict arises, let the emotions subside a little—and only then continue the conversation. Single Tauruses may have an interesting encounter or develop a strong infatuation this week.
Advice: do not turn love into a struggle over who belongs to whom.
Gemini
Your home and family may require more attention. Perhaps it is time to change something in your space, resolve a household issue, make a purchase for the home, or finally finish something that has long been postponed. Important family conversations may also arise. Do not rush to draw conclusions on behalf of others—it is better to ask directly than to spend several days making assumptions. Toward the end of the week, you will especially crave peace and the familiar atmosphere of home.
Advice: strangely enough, tidying up your home this week will also help bring order to your thoughts.
Cancer
A lot of activity and information awaits you. Calls, meetings, correspondence, and short trips may literally follow one another. An interesting piece of news or conversation may arise, after which you will look at a familiar situation in a completely different way. However, with so many things going on, it is easy to mix something up or forget. Do not rely solely on your memory: write down important things, check meeting times, and do not rush to respond to serious messages.
Advice: this week, your strength lies not in speed, but in attentiveness.
Leo. Money and material matters may become one of the main topics of the week. This is a good time to review your budget, consider a new source of income, or understand where too much money has been going lately. An interesting opportunity to earn more or make more profitable use of your abilities may appear. At the same time, refrain from buying things merely for status or out of a desire to impress. In relationships, you should also avoid using money as an argument or as a way to influence another person.
Advice: this week, it is better to multiply your resources than to show them off.
Virgo
The Sun continues moving through your sign, and for you this is a time of personal renewal. You can focus on yourself more boldly, change your image, plan the coming months, start new ventures, and make decisions you have long been putting off. You may feel more confident in your abilities and have a stronger desire to decide for yourself where to go next. The only thing is—do not try to make absolutely everything perfect. If you scatter your energy across a dozen minor tasks, you may not have enough left for what matters most.
Advice: choose one truly important goal and take a serious step toward it this week.
Libra
As for you, I would advise you to slow down a little instead. This week may bring more absent-mindedness, inattention, and inner confusion. Monotonous tasks, complex calculations, or work requiring prolonged concentration may be particularly difficult. If you have the opportunity to take a few days off, or at least avoid overloading your schedule, take advantage of it. Right now, you need sleep, silence, rest, and the opportunity to spend some time alone with yourself. Misunderstandings may also arise in romantic relationships. Do not try to resolve everything in one serious conversation.
Advice: if you can postpone something that does not require an immediate decision, postpone it. Right now, rest may be more productive than struggling against yourself.
Scorpio
For Scorpios, this may be one of the most passionate weeks in recent times. Feelings become very strong: infatuation, sexual attraction, jealousy, and the desire to be close to a particular person may all be experienced much more intensely. Be especially careful with new romances. An acquaintance may flare up instantly and create a feeling of incredible closeness. But do not rush to decide that you are facing a love that will last a lifetime: such a story may turn out to be very vivid, but short-lived. In established couples, do not allow manipulation, tests, or scenes of jealousy. At the same time, friends and new acquaintances may bring you a useful offer or open up a new opportunity.
Advice: enjoy the passion, but do not let it make decisions for you.
Sagittarius
This week, you should take your career and personal reputation more seriously. You may be noticed, your work may be evaluated, or you may be offered more responsibility. Do not be afraid to showcase your results. If you have long wanted to discuss a new position, professional prospects, or your own project, an occasion for such a conversation may arise right now. However, do not enter into a confrontation with management merely to prove that you are right.
Advice: this week, let your results speak for you.
Capricorn
A new horizon may open up before you. Travel, education, an international matter, a legal issue, or communication with people from other countries may unexpectedly influence your future plans. You may realize that you have long outgrown certain boundaries and are ready for more. At the same time, a period is beginning when it is especially important to keep your ambitions in check. The desire to attain a high position can be a wonderful driving force, but do not let it compel you to act against your own principles.
Advice: set big goals, but from time to time ask yourself what price you are willing to pay to achieve them.
Aquarius
For Aquarians, I particularly highlight the financial sphere this week. Be careful with loans, debts, taxes, insurance, shared funds, and large payments. Do not rush to invest a significant sum just because an offer seems exceptionally profitable. You may feel the urge to take a risk or make more money quickly. This is precisely where you should stop and recalculate everything once again. At the same time, the week is suitable for reviewing old financial obligations, paying off a debt, or finding a smarter way to manage a shared budget.
Advice: when large sums of money are involved, trust figures, not азарт.
Pisces
For you, many events this week will come through other people. A partner, client, colleague, or new acquaintance may suggest cooperation, an important conversation, or an entirely new format for the relationship. For those in committed relationships, this is a good time to consider whether your plans for the future truly align. Do not avoid uncomfortable topics merely for the sake of outward calm. And for single Pisces, the week may bring an interesting acquaintance through work, friends, or a shared endeavor.
Advice: good relationships are not those in which disagreements never arise, but those in which two people know how to listen to each other.
