Daily Horoscope: September 24, 2026

Image
The morning is a little scrappy — Moon squaring Uranus puts a restless, unpredictable charge into the early hours that doesn’t quite know where to go. Give it some room and hold off on anything major until it passes. By afternoon, the whole thing opens up: Moon trine Venus is warm, connective, and good for just about everything the morning wasn’t. The Moon in Pisces all day keeps things intuitive and feeling-forward, Stargazer, which pairs well with Saturn trine Jupiter’s final push toward turning big ideas into actual commitments. Neptune opposing the Sun is building toward its peak, so keep one foot on the ground even when everything feels like it’s flowing. The afternoon delivers. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 The morning runs a little hot with Moon squaring Uranus, but by midday the atmosphere moves in your favor — Moon trine Venus opens up s...

Why Radiohead Nearly Became a One-Hit Wonder After ‘Creep’

What would the pop culture landscape look like without Radiohead as a pillar of alt-rock? Had the Thom Yorke-led project not taken off when it did, music then and in the future would be drastically changed. For example, Coldplay, Muse, Bloc Party, and Snow Patrol, to name a few, would sound very different without Radiohead. This reality came so close to occurring, however, after “Creep” threatened to make the band a one-hit wonder. Radiohead’s debut single was included on their 1993 album Pablo Honey . But it became such a blight on their discography that they refused to play it live for more than a decade. Despite all this, it’s still a beloved Radiohead staple for casual fans and perhaps a begrudging favorite for certain diehards. But “Creep” almost managed to strand Radiohead in one-hit wonder purgatory. Here’s why, and here’s how the band clawed their way out. Radiohead Hated ‘Creep’ So Much They Almost Didn’t Make Anothe...

Daily Horoscope: September 22, 2026

Image
The fall equinox is today. The Sun moves into Libra this afternoon, closing out Virgo season and opening something far more social, more relational, and more interested in how things look and feel than how efficiently they run. That’s not a downgrade — it’s a different set of priorities. Saturn’s long opposition to Mercury also ends today, Stargazer, which means the communication gridlock that’s had certain signs in a headlock for weeks is finally, officially over. The Moon in Aquarius keeps the emotional temperature cool and collective-minded, and a sextile to Saturn this afternoon adds just enough structure to make the seasonal turning point feel intentional rather than accidental. Welcome to Libra season. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 The fall equinox puts the Sun directly across the sky from you, which is the universe’s way of asking yo...
