The Secret Ritual for Pisces to Zap a Curse and 6 Other Signs Reveal Their Fate Next Week
From volcanic islands to ancient design principles experts share their weekly cosmic guidance

In the week of September 26 2026 the stars offer a unique blend of ancient wisdom and practical advice. The syndicated weekly column Free Will Astrology provides a roadmap for those seeking to align their daily actions with the cosmic rhythms. The column is authored by Rob Brezsny whose latest book Enlightenment for Rebels Celebrating Our Wild and Sacred Earthly Selves offers a deeper look into the human spirit. His work appears in over a hundred publications and he is also the author of Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia. For those interested in exploring his philosophy further a free preview of his new book is available here. As we navigate the complexities of the coming week the focus is on practical transformation and personal empowerment.
For those born under the sign of Libra the historical inspiration comes from the 18th century philosopher Denis Diderot. Diderot played a pivotal role in the creation of the Encyclopédie a massive collection of knowledge that served as a cornerstone of the French Enlightenment. The 28 volumes of this compendium brought together contributions from numerous leading figures of the time. The success of the project hinged on robust collaboration among many writers. Libra individuals are encouraged to adopt this spirit of initiation and facilitation. By inviting multiple perspectives into their conversations and shared projects they can cultivate a fertile weave of ideas. This approach allows for insights that might be missed in solitary endeavors.
The Scorpio sign finds a parallel in the dramatic geological processes of Iceland. In the volcanic seas surrounding these islands underwater eruptions can build entirely new islands. These new lands often rise from the waves as bare black rock. The subsequent transformation of this raw lava into a living shore takes time. Mosses lichens and hardy plants gradually seed the barren surface. Nesting birds also add to the ecological renewal. Scorpios are urged to instigate a similar process in their own lives. A development that initially appears stark or unfinished can become fertile ground for growth. Perceptive instincts are crucial here as they allow one to recognize possibilities before they are obvious to others. Patience is essential when dealing with beginnings that look raw.
Sagittarius individuals are presented with the opportunity to create minor miracles. The goal is to turn scraps into usefulness boredom into invention and vague hunches into tangible results. This requires a sly glimmer in the eye and a touch of chutzpah. Reality can be coaxed into generosity if approached with imagination. The focus is on being alert and scouting for raw materials that have been overlooked or dismissed. This includes half-abandoned projects Mercurial inclinations fugitive fantasies and seemingly idle conversations that reveal marvelous glints and gleams. These are the "nothings" that can be transformed into treasures through creative effort.
Capricorn signs are challenged to dare being startled by their own exquisite beauty. It requires boldness and even brazenness to appreciate the marvelous creature that one truly is. Often people underestimate their gifts minimize their impact or edit out their brilliance to make others comfortable. Recognizing this self-perception is the first step. Allowing oneself to feel the tender shock of realizing they are more interesting and mysteriously compelling than they have been trained to believe is vital. This shift in perception helps call on even deeper inner resources in the coming weeks.
Aquarians are invited to experience the "moments of being" that the writer Virginia Woolf described. Woolf was a fount of interesting ideas and she often enjoyed gathering gems that arrived during her wanderings. These small treasures were often found during mundane activities like walking in nature taking a bath or doing nothing in particular. Aquarians are now primed for similar pleasurable eruptions of insight. In the coming weeks pauses and lulls and intermissions will open unexpected portals. Finding joy in the downtime allows for the discovery of these unexpected delights.
The Pisces sign is offered a practical ritual for dispelling a curse. Rather than paying an expert a fee the writer suggests a personal approach. The process involves visualization and psychological release. Step one requires visualizing an object that represents the curse and hurling it into a beach bonfire. Step two involves bringing to mind a person believed to contribute to the curse. A mental rope connects the two individuals waist to waist. The individual then imagines revving up a chainsaw slicing through the binding and declaring that the person has no power over them. Step three is to roll on the floor in a state of giddy release. This ritual is followed by writing a check for the value of the curse.
Aries individuals are encouraged to experiment with the Japanese art of niwaki. In this practice gardeners shape trees to look both natural and artfully composed. Pruning and styling are used to dramatize the tree's inherent character. The goal is to collaborate with the living processes rather than imposing a will. Aries are asked to partner with the living processes in their sphere. They should ask what is trying to flourish and how they can coax out some useful beauty. Coordinating intelligence with nature's intelligence creates a harmonious result.
Taurus signs should embrace the spirit of the Galápagos giant tortoise. These slow-moving creatures can live for over a century. They conserve energy move deliberately and carry their protection with them. Taurus individuals will benefit from adopting these ways. There is no need to be rushed or pressured by others or oneself. Proceeding at the precise rate needed allows natural strength to thrive. Incremental steadiness is a powerful tool for growth. Some individuals might even consider giving themselves a tortoise nickname.
For Gemini signs the metaphor of a master perfumer provides guidance. A fragrance is composed in three distinct layers. The top notes are vivid and volatile while the next layer blooms gradually into heart notes. The deep resinous base notes remain hidden for hours and cling longest to the skin. This structure serves as a metaphor for joys and pleasures. Geminis should relish the bright top notes that flare and vanish. They should persist long enough for the heart to open and even longer for the deep base notes to emerge. Gathering all rich delights is the objective.
Cancerians are reminded of the process of molting a crab sheds its shell to grow a bigger one. During this transition the soft tender body is exposed and vulnerable. The crab often hides in a rock crevice neither moving nor eating until its armor returns. While Cancers face a similar molting season their situation is not nearly as dire as the crab's. It is still important to enhance psychic protection. Feeling extra safe and secure during this time of personal transition is crucial for mental health.
Leo signs are advised to learn how to distinguish between real information and meaningless hubbub. Bats navigate by echolocation but they may also jam each other's sonar. This creates acoustic interference that makes navigation harder for rivals. A similar phenomenon occurs in human populations. Some of the noisy talk is other people's jamming signals. Now is a good time to refine filters to better understand what is real and what is simply noise.
Virgo signs are directed toward the work of Jan Tschichold. He was a brilliant typographer who revolutionized graphic design. His influence left a mark on millions of books. However later in life he rejected some of his own rules returning to classical typography. This evolution suggests that even established guidelines can be re-evaluated. The lesson for Virgo is to look at the principles that govern their work life and ask if they can be improved or if new approaches are needed.
