Void of Course Dates this Month

On September 10th, Uranus turns retrograde. Each year, Uranus is retrograde for approximately 5 months. Today, Uranus begins its retrograde phase, which will continue until February 8th, 2027. During this cycle, our desire to make changes in our lives can turn inward as we get in touch with what may be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically. We may be less overtly rebellious and more inclined to follow the rules while Uranus is retrograde.
As the shift occurs now, however, Uranian energy is more challenging, and we can experience some tension until we acclimatize to the directional change… Read more about Uranus turning retrograde in Gemini on its calendar page.
Also on September 10th, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo, prompting a new beginning–we’re starting anew. This lunation promises us opportunities to take charge of our lives by organizing, editing, refining work, and paying better attention to health. It’s a fertile and productive time. We’re ready to take charge of our daily routines, work, or pursuit of wellness.
We’re ready to make something special of our work, routines, or tasks. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with energy and courage to make improvements. It’s a spontaneous, creative, forward-looking time… Read more about this New Moon in Virgo on its calendar page.
On September 15th, Neptune forms a sextile with Pluto, and this is the second of many such aspects while Neptune is in Aries and Pluto is in Aquarius. In fact, Neptune will form a sextile with Pluto thirteen times, until the year 2032. With this long-term influence, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights.
Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging. We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change… Read more about this aspect on its calendar page.
On September 17th, retrograde Chiron returns to Aries. Chiron turned retrograde while still in the sign of Taurus on August 3rd. Now, while still retrograde, Chiron returns to the sign of Aries–its last visit before moving on. On January 6th, 2027, Chiron will end its retrograde and turn direct. It will continue to transit Aries until April 14th, 2027, at which time it enters Taurus and stays there consistently. We may be tying up loose ends represented by Chiron’s transit of Aries…Read more about Chiron Rx entering Aries on its calendar page.
On September 26th, a Full Moon occurs in Aries, awakening us to our emotional needs and reminding us to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New revelations can occur now, particularly regarding our physical bodies, leadership skills, ability to initiate and begin new things, and close partnerships.
This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other–and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. We’re brave, determined, and resourceful… Read more about this Full Moon in Aries on its calendar page.

This Month’s Overview Horoscopes
The following horoscopes outline how the above astrological influences might affect each individual sign.
Overview horoscopes fill in here as I write them, ideally during the week before the month begins. It is not unusual to see some signs temporarily missing because I write the twelve of them over the course of a few days, starting with the featured sign of the month (birthday month).
Aries
You’re particularly motivated to do a good job this month, dear Aries, or to improve your everyday life and routines. You might thoroughly enjoy helping out others. You’re more conscientious as a result and take more pride in solving problems, acquiring or honing skills, and taking care of business. As the month advances, relationships tend to steal the spotlight, although they're always a focus in September. It can be a busy month, as September frequently is, with the Sun making its yearly transit of your work and health sector. Mercury continues in this sector until the 10th, and a New Moon occurs here on the 10th as well, facilitating a fresh start or new beginning. Overall, it’s a time for getting your affairs in order, working hard, and paying particular attention to your health or fitness routines. In fact, your focus on your daily routines, fitness, health, nutrition, work, and habits is strong in the first weeks of the month. While it’s not the best period for recognition or worldly success, this is an intense period for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success. You may want to wait for after the New Moon on the 10th for official launches, but until then, you’re in good shape for toying with new ideas. Work or daily routines can keep you unusually busy. Until the 10th, a Venus transit may bring happy or helpful people into your social circle. It can present opportunities for enhancing or attracting partnerships. If you have any need for peace-making with others, it’s a great time for doing so. You might also benefit from others’ input and help. It may be that you’re craving company more than usual now, as you appreciate feeling that you have someone to lean on if you need support. Sharing pleasures and activities can be particularly appealing now. From the 10th onward, you’re seeking more depth from your relationships or projects. Venus moves from your partnership sector to your intimacy sector, and while you remain interested in developing your connections, you are becoming more focused and exclusive, and aiming to bond on deeper levels, not only on the surface. This transit is fortunate for shared money and resources, including indirect personal income, such as through loans, benefits, supplements, and support. You could find yourself more attracted to complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy, and smoothing things out. September is a strong time for enterprise, although it’s best to keep in mind the upcoming Venus retrograde period when things may slow down a tad (from October 3rd - November 13th). This month, you’re finding ways to combine responsibility and independence creatively. You’re also especially productive if left on your own to go at it. There is sound energy for teamwork, too, but with certain things, you know precisely what you’re doing and need time and space to get where you want to go. You want to make something happen, push something forward, and solve problems, ultimately feeling ahead of the game. You can have a strong desire to rearrange or reorganize your setup or living arrangements or stir up your personal life. You know the details required to complete a job, which helps your productivity. You’re also confident you can take on a challenge! It can be satisfying to offer your practical support or get involved with solving problems. Uranus turns retrograde in your communication sector, also on the 10th (many shifts happen on the 10th this month!). Uranus has a way of pulling some repressed feelings to the surface, and yet you may not feel that you can express them smoothly or fully. In the months ahead, however, during its five-month retrograde cycle, you’ll find different – and possibly more satisfying – channels for representing and expressing yourself. You could re-examine some of your recent projects or interests, which have been sporadic or sudden. As the month progresses, relationships take center stage. It's a good time for expressing yourself through your relationships. You’re also more sensitive to imbalances in your life now, and you may be seeking more harmony. On the 26th, a Full Moon occurs in your sign, bringing strong messages about companionship and independence into your life. Watch for a tendency to refuse to play a game because you don’t want to deal with the possibility of losing it! Another possible theme is that you distance yourself in a relationship or feel frustrated that someone doesn’t seem to understand you. Part of the reason for this is a sense that you have to deal with everything yourself. Aim to take the lesson from your experiences now and improve your life by doing so. Be as patient as you can, both with others and with yourself. In the last week of the month, you’re likely to open the airways and encourage others to do so in turn. There can be progress in a partnership or communications project. Recent obstacles can stir inventive thinking and new approaches. Your willingness to address issues with openness and honesty makes a big difference. Mars moves into harmony with your sign from the 27th, and you can feel considerably freer to express, assert, and enjoy yourself. With Mars animating your sector of joy, heart, creativity, and leisure, you’re motivated to throw yourself into activities you genuinely enjoy. |
Taurus
You're likely to enjoy a comfortable pace in September, dear Taurus, even with your communications picking up the pace. For much of the month, you’re able to take a break from the rigors of competition and pressure, finding more time for recreation and perhaps some romance. In fact, pleasure, joy, and creativity are the month's larger themes. With planets pushing for both work and play, you may very well reach an ideal balance. You more naturally celebrate and express your talents, abilities, and affections until the 22nd. You’re also more inclined than usual to reach out and seek feedback and reinforcement. It can be a great time to pay more attention to personal hobbies or recreation and entertainment. Venus spends time in your work and health sector, and from the 10th onward, in your partnership sector. You may be attracting helpful people into your life or seeking out happy company. This is a strong time for negotiations of all kinds. Motivation and enthusiasm in these areas of life may take a bit of a nosedive in October, however, when you could be questioning your recent choices and reassessing your goals as Venus turns retrograde and revisits the road it’s taking this month (Venus will be retrograde from October 3rd - November 13th). Try not to make ironclad commitments to new ventures until you are confident you have a handle on current ones. Otherwise, enjoy yourself! New endeavors now may face unanticipated delays later, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong for you. Energy levels are generally good in September, in fact, and creative abilities are in great form. There can be a new beginning in a romantic or creative matter after the New Moon on the 10th. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde on the 10th of September. Despite some initial concerns about finances or rearranging funds, you’re ultimately moving towards a whole new way of living. As you redefine what you value most, the respect you attract into your life evolves. You are discovering unique natural talents, learning to embrace and develop them, and letting go of old dependencies or crutches. Until February 8th, this retrograde Uranus cycle offers an opportunity to work on inner attitudes that need to change so you can move forward more confidently. It’s also a time to dream up inventive ways to make money or review and refine current projects. However, some projects might stall, and all-new launches in these areas may not get off the ground. Romantic intensity of the pleasant variety may figure strongly this month, particularly around the 14th, when the Sun in your creative sector vibes well with Mars in your communication sector. You’re also engaged mentally. Talking, chatting, and sharing are active forces in your life now. Information or news coming in can be exciting and help move a matter forward. Excitement and passion about a personal interest or a competitive situation can motivate you. It’s a time when you want to triumph, bring something to a new level, or take the lead. It’s a great time to share your high spirits with others and watch for the opportunities opening up as you do. Your inner workhorse emerges more strongly after the 22nd, when the Sun transits your work and health sector. You’re increasingly focused on taking better care of your routines, body, and work in late September. New approaches to your work or services and how you make or handle money can be in the spotlight. Problem-solving comes easily to you as you look at practical matters in a new light. A solution can come to you seemingly out of the blue, although it’s probably been with you in the past–it simply needed some coaxing into the light. You may not have been tuned in, and now you are. The Full Moon on the 26th reminds you of the importance of balance. Important dreams or intuitive flashes may be urging you to let go of things and attitudes that no longer serve you well. This Full Moon illuminates a matter that puts you into dramatic touch with a feeling that you’ve been burying or ignoring. Allowing yourself some time for stillness, rest, and rejuvenation can do wonders for you now. This can also be a time of an important idea, hunch, or intuitive flash that sets you on a new, more fulfilling path. Actively seeking opportunities to heal and improve your private life can be in focus and quite satisfying now. Mars moves into your family and home sector on the next day, the 27th, and you’ll be pouring more energy into domestic activities. You may get to the root of any lingering family problems during this transit. As well, you can bring more energy and initiative to home-related projects. Positive vibes can lead to small breakthroughs in your personal life. |
Gemini
Family and home life are in greater focus for you this month, dear Gemini. The domestic side of you is in swing, but you’re also expressing some interest in branching out and taking a chance. You can bring special creativity and warmth to your personal life in September. This is a good period for strengthening ties with those closest to you, and New Moon energy on the 10th can help you start fresh. Your living arrangements or conditions are in the spotlight this month. You have some breathing room! Home life may be rewarding and supportive in September, especially since you are giving back and taking the time to make your loved ones feel special. You’re bringing more energy and pride, along with heightened intelligence, to your personal life. These things help you make genuinely valuable improvements. It’s a strong time for talking through problems with people you love, or those with whom you live. This is a time for focusing less on meeting societal expectations and more on strengthening your domestic world. Extra attention to your roots, foundation, and closest ties continues, and it’s a time for potential healing, refinement, and organization in your home life and family relationships. You’re getting into close touch with what’s in your heart, and you’re anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. Venus continues to transit in harmony with your sign until the 10th, bringing graciousness, the power of attraction, an urge to interact, and considerable charm. This is a pleasant transit for you. It’s a time when you tend to follow your heart’s desire, and you can be more romantic than usual or receive extra romantic attention. Love can be found more readily while pursuing entertainment and pleasure, or you might discover what you love in your hobbies and pastimes. After the New Moon on the 10th, you’ll want to push forward with family and home improvement plans. Until then, it’s a time for clearing the air. There can be meaningful conversations about or with family, and things may be coming together on the home front or regarding living conditions. It’s also a decent period for romantic relations. In October and November, some revisions to creative projects or relationships may be necessary, however, when Venus will turn retrograde (Venus will be retrograde from October 3rd to November 13th). While love relationships tend to be pleasurable overall, there can be some backtracking or reticence experienced later. Venus visits your work and health sector from the 10th onward, helping you bring more harmony to your daily life and/or work. You can experience a powerful urge to restore balance in relationships with co-workers or people you spend time with daily. Social opportunities through your work or daily routines can emerge during this cycle. Also on the 10th, Uranus turns retrograde and will remain so until February 8th. While Uranus was direct in your sign in recent months, your confidence in pursuing new experiences and expressing your independence was evident. In the five months ahead, more of this growth is happening inside you than on the surface. Use this time to delve into what drives you, especially if you’ve been feeling restless or on edge. Examine which fears or attitudes have been limiting your independence and personal truth. Personal plans might slow down or go on a shelf, whether due to circumstances or because you are not as quick to make changes, but this is a period of internal growth and self-discovery. A theme that gains momentum in September is creative, romantic, and playful. It’s a strong time for making significant emotional and creative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment. In the last week of the month, you’re gravitating toward things that bring you joy and inspire you as you adopt a more interactive, outgoing, and playful attitude. The Full Moon on the 26th is another prompt to share and connect. It can be a wonderful time to break through a social barrier or recognize your true feelings for a person or project. You’re gaining new insight into your feelings regarding love and friendship, and it’s a fine time for celebrations. If you’ve been engrossed in your personal or romantic life and neglected friends in the process, now is the time to reach out and fix it. Mars moves into harmony with your sign and into your communications sector on the 27th, stirring your desire to learn and explore. In some ways, it may be particularly important to watch for coming across too brusquely. Otherwise, it’s a busy time for communicating, connecting, and commuting. It’s a wonderful time to push yourself a little, as long as you respect your need for rest and healthy living. |
Cancer
September is big for matters related to connections, thoughts, studies, and the mind, dear Cancer. You’re branching out and learning new things, and it should be a busy but enjoyable period. It’s a good time to dabble, gather information, and take in interesting news. You see what you can do to heal, repair, and improve your daily life, environment, communications, and interactions with others. Still, as the month advances, a growing theme of family, rest, comfort, and safety emerges. You're inclined to seek out more peace and predictability. Until then, you are especially communicative and sociable, learning new things, and enjoying the connections you’re making. Your personal interests can be in strong focus. September is a month of much curiosity and special interests. As you feed your curiosity, it's a better time to diversify than to focus narrowly. Be careful not to make all your decisions from your head or ego and ignore your heart in the process, but mindful choices made now can be empowering. This can be a mentally busy time, even with several hints that life is becoming a little quieter and more comfortable. Helping round things out is a Venus transit from the 10th onward that accents your natural charm and appeal. People are noticing you, wanting to be around you, and more attracted to you than usual. It’s a good cycle for more thoroughly enjoying the arts, entertainment, and pleasure-seeking activities. While the month can be a little insular in spots, Venus in this sector of your chart can be a nice release. There can be a particular enjoyment of creative projects, hobbies, and recreation. However, what you begin along these lines in September may face some unanticipated delays or backtracking from October 3rd - November 13th, when Venus will turn retrograde, but this doesn’t mean they’re doomed, by all means. Factor in the possibility that things won’t go precisely as expected for best results, but don’t let this curtail your enjoyment this month. New starts or interests are possible after the New Moon on the 10th. A new or improved method of communication or transportation can emerge now. Still, Uranus turns retrograde on the 10th, and will continue in retrograde motion until February 8th. Uranus has been helping you break free from elements of your life that have prevented growth. As you let go of the weight of secrets and inauthentic behavior, you are freer to be yourself. With Uranus now retrograde, you more often process recent events and changes and deal with your feelings about putting things behind you. It’s internal and private, a powerful process that helps you identify areas of over-attachment. Certainly, it can also be a time of unusual dreams and strong hunches or coincidences. You can feel ready to put your ideas and plans into motion and may be eager to handle a matter, come out on top, beat a personal best, or pursue your desires and interests. Your personal magnetism is strong, especially around your ideas and confidence. You feel brave about voicing your ideas and opinions. With Mars in your sign until the 27th, you want to take the initiative, making independent work or projects especially appealing. What you say, share, and do has extra energy, power, and punch. It can also be an excellent time to bump into interesting people or information. Until the 10th, however, a Venus transit awakens a self-protective or cautious part of you, particularly when it comes to your affections, spending habits, and pleasures. Familiarity and security are themes now, and these extend throughout September as Mercury picks up the baton on the 10th and the Sun gets on board from the 22nd. It’s a strong period for plumping your nest or your base of operations – you’re especially interested in making your place of retreat as comfortable and harmonious as possible. You may be making extraordinary efforts to smooth over relations with family or close loved ones, or you may be decorating or entertaining in your home. It’s also a good cycle for building up your sense of security and your self-confidence. On the 27th, Mars moves out of your sign and into your resources sector. This transit boosts your desire to live more comfortably and with a stronger sense of security. You’re motivated to take action meant to improve your current circumstances during this transit that lasts through to later in November. The last week of September is also active for solving problems at home or with business. Around the 26th is a powerful time for epiphanies about money, career, status, and reputation. This Full Moon is about a career or family matter coming to full bloom, which sets you on a new, fresh path. A sudden awareness of your duties and responsibilities can nudge you to take action. There can be a sudden push into the spotlight or the need to perform and take the lead. |
Leo
September brings a pleasing focus on security, comfort, and pleasure, dear Leo. You're ready to settle in and enjoy yourself, but you're also interested in collecting and building. The month is strong for financial ideas and plans. It's likely to end on a busy note as the emphasis shifts to your communication sector, with plenty to do but much support from a partner or good friend. In the first few weeks of September, you’re particularly invested in your things, values, money, valuables, and talents. You have a good head for business and practical matters. You’re giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Until the 10th, Venus continues to move through your communications sector, which keeps you engaged. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your ideas comes smoothly and naturally. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and connect. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be quite mental and verbal during this cycle. The New Moon on the 10th can prompt a new approach to money. You may be changing the ways you manage money or the attitude that drives how you attract money and possessions into your life. You may be seeking a fresh start with money, resources, or belongings. This New Moon is wonderfully supportive of boosting your income or sense of self-worth and self-respect. The need to overcome problem areas or get past something is compelling now, so take advantage. From the 10th onward, Venus heads to your solar fourth house, and the focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family. Uranus turns retrograde on the same day, and in the five months of its retrograde motion (from September 10th to February 8th), some things calm down on the social front. It’s a valuable period to process recent changes and events with friends, which benefits you immensely and helps prevent impulsive, regrettable decisions. When you act from your heart rather than merely react to others and circumstances, you do yourself a service during this retrograde phase. As the month advances, you’ll be branching out more often. In your daily life, you are likely to experience more communication, movement, and activity, in general. It’s a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don’t always see, take up new studies or interests, and share your ideas with others. With the Sun in your solar third house from the 22nd onward, you're seeking more mental engagement. Your interactions can be boosting, enthusiastic, and spirited. Opportunities might arrive through friends and communication in the last week of September. You’re willing to entertain unusual ideas, and exploring different ways of relating and communicating can be satisfying. The Full Moon on the 26th is a creative, spontaneous influence. Communication, learning, education, travel, attitude, outlook, or publishing matters may come to full bloom, setting you on a fresh path. This lunation can awaken a new way of thinking or personal interest, and you may feel compelled to expand your knowledge, share your ideas with others, and break the routine in meaningful ways. |
Virgo
September is a personally powerful month for you, dear Virgo. You can pretty much count on increased vitality and personal appeal. While you may have been making everyone else in your life happy lately, it now feels natural and necessary to take care of your own needs. New Moon energy from the 10th gives you a boost. You feel that you can easily shed the unproductive or unhealthy attitudes that have been weighing you down in recent months. If you’ve wanted to make positive changes to your image, this is an excellent time to do so. You have considerable impact and personal presence. You are bolder than usual and motivated to pursue what you want. Generally speaking, things are playing in your favor as you begin the month. It's an awakened, outgoing, active period for you. Your personality is shining, and you project quite a bit of strength. You’re also more talkative and energetic. You can be busier than usual, and you’re in demand. You're more likely to verbalize your desires, or others seek you out for your thoughts on a situation. People hear you and notice you more than usual. Mercury in your sign until the 10th is particularly favorable for feeling the ball’s in your court, and the Sun in your sign until the 22nd is similar. You also enjoy the New Moon in your sign on the 10th, which gives you the chance to start fresh or clear the slate in a significant way. It’s time to make what you want out of your life and to focus on self-improvement. You can quite safely turn on a bit of drama now and get away with it! You feel in charge. Also until the 10th, you have Venus helping you with your finances, personal belongings, valuables, and business. It’s a decent transit for relationships, too. Although your connections are pretty much status quo during this period, you are more inclined to value yourself and what you have to offer — an attitude that reverberates back nicely to your relationships. Mercury continues in your sign to the 10th, and while it heads out of Virgo, on the same day, Venus moves into harmony with your sign. This is a strong period for education, communication, learning, and sharing. People don't just hear you, they get you. September is an energizing month for you. Others are paying special attention to you, and the feedback is good! From the 10th forward, with Venus boosting your communication skills and personal appeal, it becomes more comfortable and natural to say the right things at the right times. Love and friendship are enhanced with good conversations and communication. Others are especially attracted to your ideas and perspective. The yearly retrograde cycle of Uranus begins on the 10th, inspiring you to examine your long-term goals, career, or reputation for this cycle's duration, which is close to five months. You’ve been reshaping your reputation and carving out a unique identity, mainly through your status or profession. Now it’s time to analyze, plan, and reassess. This is a beautiful month for communicating and connecting. However, some of the new interests or ventures you begin in September can come up for review in October and November when Venus later turns retrograde. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pursue them — they simply will require some fine-tuning, perhaps more so than you initially expect. Financial matters take center stage from the 22nd. You're increasingly more focused on resources and comfort levels. You are feeling more confident about money-making abilities and your work, although there will be some adjustments to make before you can push these types of plans forward. This is a good time to settle in and turn your attention to projects with long-term potential that require patience. A Full Moon on the 26th highlights issues surrounding ownership, possessiveness, money, support, and other resources. You may need to face a financial or relationship reality or manage expectations, but once handled, it pushes you onto a new path. You may need to set boundaries, but if a significant other is doing the same, you may reach an impasse. Alternatively, you can aim to meet others halfway and wait for them to do the same. If money or support is an issue, focus on what you can do to improve your position. Delays now may lead to better conditions later, so be willing to draw on your patience. The next day, Mars moves into your privacy sector, pointing to a period ahead of transformations and renovations, mostly on an emotional level. This transit can subtly but effectively turn your attention to problems that you may have overlooked or buried. You can indeed feel a little less energetic as your priorities shuffle around or a project ends. Still, you might find that redirecting your energies into a work-in-progress can be most satisfying. Put together, these shifts suggest it’s better to ease down in the last week of September. Major new launches or beginnings should probably wait for a brighter time. This doesn't mean you can't think up exciting ideas and strategies. In fact, you can think like a pioneer in financial, security, and domestic matters. An opportunity may arise that helps you break free from restrictive circumstances, laying the groundwork for future changes and ultimately leading to greater freedom. You might upgrade technology or stumble upon an item that improves your efficiency. Ideas are fabulous now. |
Libra
You’re paying more attention to spiritual, non-material, and emotional matters this month, dear Libra, but there's an increasing focus on coming out of your shell as the month progresses. You can find yourself resurfacing emotionally! September is terrific for finding unique ways to make yourself more comfortable and settled. You might start the month inclined to withdraw from more worldly endeavors, but later, more attention comes your way, and in turn, you seek a stronger connection to the world around you. While you’ve been rather introspective, and there's more of this benefiting you this month, you’re now approaching a period of more personal influence and a stronger sense of effectiveness. Mind you, your lovely ruler, Venus, is heading towards a retrograde period, part of which will happen in your own sign, and some of the endeavors you begin now can require some backtracking later. This retrograde will occur from October 3rd to November 13th and will be a good time for looking back before moving ahead and generally getting your bearings. Still, it can be a slow, sometimes backward-feeling period. As you begin September, you're bound to focus on your more profound needs, finishing important projects, clearing out the deadwood in your life, and doing some soul searching. You may feel a strong urge to talk about and think about the past. Slowing down makes sense at this time, and relaxing, meditative activities can be a blessing. You continue to benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until the 10th, however, accentuating your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. You are certainly not short of admirers! Your confidence and comfort in your own skin do wonders for you now. You’re radiating good energy, and tend to attract positive attention and feedback as a result. Nevertheless, you can be gathering your energies and weighing your options. Your emotions frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters, until the last week of the month, when you’re inspired and motivated to chase your dreams. Once past the slate-clearing energy of the New Moon on the 10th, you’re in the position to take action on specific things you’ve been mulling over and processing. In fact, your mental energies are quickened from the 10th to the 30th while Mercury is in your sign, favoring any task that involves getting your point across effectively! From the 22nd forward especially, opportunities to make your mark arise. It’s a time for an updated image, new approach, and personal resolutions. Until the 22nd, try to treat this period as a time to conserve or build energy and close important projects and endeavors. While Mercury moves into your sign on the 10th, increasing your desire to be heard, Venus moves out of it on the 10th. Affections stabilize, and you begin to value simpler pleasures. You find it easier to wait for things you genuinely want. There can be a strong social element to your business or earnings. In fact, you’re in an excellent cycle for enjoying activities that soothe, comfort, and boost your confidence. Attracting the right resources can be smooth and natural now. Your desire for beautiful or luxurious things can undoubtedly increase, but you are also reasonably practical right now, which can help balance it out. Uranus begins its retrograde cycle in September, and it will last almost five months. Uranus has been encouraging an upgrade of ninth-house matters, such as belief systems, education, publishing, and communications. If you’ve made changes too quickly, this retrograde phase helps you restore balance. It’s a time for processing recent changes, beliefs, and experiences. You’re no longer running ahead too quickly in these areas! On the 22nd, the Sun moves into your sign and on some levels (not all), you’re awakening and ready to share yourself with the world. This is a time for feeling more powerful, in charge, and effective. A partner can have important revelations around the 26th – a time when something about yourself or your personal plans might also come to light. If you’ve been ignoring your feelings for someone – or a relationship itself – this is a time when these things demand their share of your attention. Mars moves into your social sector on the 27th, and there can be exciting insights into your social life or a reawakening of an old interest or connection. New or surprising discoveries are made about a friend or friendship. You are less interested in the details than you are in the overall effect or impact of any particular plan. Non-routine activities and innovative ideas can play a stronger role in your life in the last week of September. Communication projects, learning, and transportation are areas of growth. Certainly, you are more spirited and open to change and progress than usual. |
Scorpio
September stands out for making connections, contributing and sharing your ideas, and finding inspiration for new goals and projects, dear Scorpio. You’re confident about what you have to offer. The month ahead has a social theme, but your practical affairs are in good shape as well. As the month begins, you’re in a fantastic period for cultivating contacts, getting involved, networking, as well as sharing your ideas and time or energy. You can make valuable new connections, or strengthen your ties with current friends and associates. It’s a high-powered time for making friendships work, and the New Moon on the 10th brings powerful energy for starting anew on these levels. Opportunities through groups, like-minded people, friends, networking, associates, and new, experimental, and innovative ideas and approaches. Your personal happiness goals or cherished causes are in focus. There is some de-emphasis of career or life-plan goals now, although these things don’t altogether drop off the radar for very long these days! You’re taking more interest in finding your joy or making a contribution. You have a stronger influence on friends and groups, and you’re in good shape for trying on new styles and ideas. Certainly, a part of you is holding yourself back with Venus in your privacy sector until the 10th. With this transit, you might take special pleasure in your private life. Dreams can be intriguing. Decision-making about money and love is not straightforward, however, and it’s wise to take your time to come to reliable conclusions. You may not be ready to share your feelings with the world. From the 10th forward, life enlivens. The New Moon in your friendship sector on the 10th is energizing and can light a fire under you to begin a new project or to make connections. Further, Venus enters your sign, clarifying your affections and boosting your feelings of comfort with yourself. You radiate warmth and gentle confidence during this pleasing transit. This is a time to attract good things and considerate people into your life. You’re in good repute, but more importantly, enjoying your associations and connections. Still, Venus is gearing up to turn retrograde, starting on October 3rd (and continuing until November 13th). As well, Mercury enters your privacy sector on the 10th, and the Sun does the same on the 22nd -- all signals to wind down instead of wind yourself up! Uranus turns retrograde on the same date (several shifts occur on the 10th this month!). While Uranus is retrograde for almost five months, you benefit from examining your dependencies and attachments. Do they help or hinder you? If financial or support matters have been all over the place, disorganized, or unreliable, now’s your chance to figure out why and what to do about it. This transit subtly shifts how you approach change, upgrades, and progress in your intimate life, finances, and debts. While the month isn't exactly fast-paced, and next month Venus will turn retrograde in your sign, September still offers a comfortable level of forward movement, especially welcome after eclipse season. Conversations open up this month, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term, or to enhance the bond of an existing one. Projects gain some momentum. Your social life is lively and, for the most part, goes your way. Nevertheless, it’s probably wise not to jump into new projects or relationships too quickly because of that upcoming and aforementioned retrograde. You'll find more and more reason to take things easy or take personal time as the month advances, and it’s good for you. Circumstances reveal that you need more time to rest, reflect, and “just be,” particularly once the Sun heads into your solar twelfth house on the 22nd. Your major focus should be on emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low. The more dedicated you are to doing so, the better prepared you will be for increased planetary activity in your sign later. The Full Moon on the 26th falls in your work and health sector and can awaken you to a need for better routines and health. The motivation to improve your life and to make lifestyle changes is powerful indeed since it’s coming from deep within. Blockages that come to light can be revealing, if raw, but this lunation is particularly useful for motivating you to take action on your feelings and epiphanies. Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or duties can push you to make necessary changes. Obligations that you’ve forgotten about or avoided may need your attention now, perhaps with some consequences if you’ve let something slide. Your need for extra rest is high, but right now, there can be some loose ends or extra work to do before you catch a real break. Once you put something behind you, you’ll feel relieved and more balanced inside and out. The next day, Mars heads to the top of your solar chart, and circumstances seem to push you to improve and reach a little further. You’re working under the radar or behind the scenes with the Sun’s move into your privacy sector on the 22nd, but your ambitions are increasing. While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is active. It’s a work-hard, rest-hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong. Mercury moves into your sign on the 30th, and you’re finding your voice! You’ll find it easier to express yourself. |
Sagittarius
Your ambitions are stirring this month, dear Sagittarius, and you can feel quite directed. While you have a strong sense of the rules, your enterprising side emerges powerfully. September is a good time to bring more effort and personality to your public or professional life and to connect with long-term goals and dreams. Your focus is strongly on material or ambitious concerns for at least the first couple of weeks of September. As the month progresses, your social life, friends, and happiness goals take on greater importance. The Sun and Mercury are transiting your solar tenth house (until the 22nd and 10th, respectively), and you are more invested than usual in your long-term or professional goals, responsibilities, or reputation. You’re bringing more pride and intelligence to your work or public life now. You are getting noticed for your skills, views, or voice. Emotionally, you’re sufficiently detached to be able to handle your work, and yet friendly and sociable. Ideas for new directions can be valuable now, and the New Moon on the 10th can clear the path for new beginnings in these areas. If you need to rebrand yourself in some way, this can be a time for doing so. You’re resourceful and might solve a problem that had previously puzzled or frustrated you. You want to come out ahead, triumph, or accomplish something special. You can be eager to discover unique ways to manage your life. You might uncover a resource that pushes you forward, or find something that completely absorbs your attention. A healthy, happy level of competitiveness can be stirring now, and you can feel like you are turning a new page in your life. At the same time, you have Venus moving through your social sector, ensuring that your happiness goals get their fair share of attention until the 10th. Mercury and the Sun extend these themes from the 10th and 22nd, keeping social and humanitarian concerns prominent throughout September. Natural energy supports socializing and connecting. You get along better with the team, or you might share your talents or expertise with associates for excellent results. This can be a favorable time for collaborations or for reaching out to others and sharing some activities. The urge to be around people or to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is compelling now. Even so, Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 10th forward, which can point to a period of review and reflection around affections and relationships. Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. This jibes well with Uranus turning retrograde in your partnership sector. You may be reviewing your feelings and possibly an allegiance. A shift in perception, particularly in a relationship, can be in store as Uranus begins its yearly, five-month retrograde cycle. This directional shift signals some meaningful introspection and examination of your relationship needs. Even if unreliability issues are temporarily not as prominent, exploring your inner needs for change, especially in the partnership department, can benefit you. You may even need a relationship overhaul to feel more in control when Uranus turns direct again in February. The Sun moves into your social sector on the 22nd, giving you another type of message – it’s a period for planting “seeds” in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team play, as the greatest benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties. Surprises and opportunities can come out of the blue, and an element/person of your past reappearing can be part of this. The Full Moon on the 26th turns your attention to friendship, romance, or a creative project. Pent-up feelings are likely to reach a head. The Sun has been encouraging your social side to come out to play, but you may be facing delays. Still, love, creativity, fun, entertainment, and self-expression are in focus. You’re in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to conclude you should enjoy yourself more fully. This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them. There can be revelations about a personal project or your feelings for someone. Mars moves into harmony with your sign starting on the 27th, and it comes as a nice boost to your energy and motivation levels. |
Capricorn
You can be quite independent and freedom-seeking this month, dear Capricorn. September is an excellent time to focus on nurturing your mind, body, and spirit through activities, courses, cultural events, or connections with people who have different ideas and perspectives. Or, this can be a time for doing more studying, learning, and venturing outside of your regular routine. Your calling, career, life path, and long-term goals take on more importance as the month advances. They’re complicated, but in focus and, ultimately, rewarding. This month, people are appreciating your knowledge and breadth of vision. You are making beneficial connections and finding it easy to take problems in stride. The first few weeks of September are mostly outgoing and forward-focused, although there are some quiet moments, too. You’re motivated to explore, learn, and discover new things. You want to move out of your comfort zone when it comes to learning, thinking, and doing, and while the New Moon on the 10th can bring out opportunities to do so, the days before this lunation are valuable for new ideas and plans. You express yourself with more enthusiasm and faith, and this goes over very well with others. You may feel that someone is encouraging you to be the best version of yourself, and this supportive figure can help stir your enthusiasm and confidence. You are also investing quite a bit into others now, and together, you can accomplish much. You want to feel alive and vital, which you can achieve through relationships. You benefit from the involvement or company of others, even if you are pursuing your own goals. While there is a strong theme of spirit, learning, and exploration this month, you have Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 10th, and then Mercury and the Sun in this career- and image-oriented sector from the 10th and 22nd, respectively. As such, career, public life, responsibilities, obligations, long-term goals, and direction are all strong themes for you in September. With Venus here, you are pulling in desirable attention, and you may receive some nice offers or recognition. It’s a time for catching some breaks. If your reputation could use a boost, this is a good time to do some PR or get closer to bosses, parents, and the like. Your love life may be more public than usual, or you may be drawing on your people skills more than usual in your work. Venus then journeys through your social sector from the 10th forward, enhancing your personal appeal and supporting your connections with friends or groups. You might be giving and taking more space in your relationships, or you feel freer to explore and discover on a social level. You may feel a nice sense of support from the people in your life. You're more likely to attract friends and others who share your interests right now. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 10th, and you might examine or even reconsider recent changes related to your daily routines, work, and health. These areas of life are often up and down, and looking inward for answers makes sense during this phase until February 8th. Ultimately, you seek more truth in your work or services, and this retrograde cycle helps you detach enough to see where you can make the most meaningful changes. The aim is to help your “future self” deal with unpredictability and change more effectively. The month becomes more goal-oriented when Mercury first arrives on the 10th, and then the Sun on the 22nd makes it to the top of your solar chart. These influences give you more visibility, but they also encourage your ambitious side to emerge. Mind you, home and family require more of your wholehearted attention around the Full Moon on the 26th. This Full Moon calls you to recognize your needs for nurture, safety, and comfort. You’re challenged to balance your attention to your outer and inner worlds, home and family, or public and private life. A matter can release or culminate, and it’s healing and helpful. As much as you’re gunning for worldly or career goals and success right now, interruptions may come up around household or family responsibilities, restructuring, or personal reservations and fears of exposure or risk. This is a time for examining whether you’re being practical or self-limiting. If you’ve been neglecting specific responsibilities, you’ll feel relieved to deal with them now. You may very well find that you wasted too much energy dreading something much easier than you’d imagined! A better work-home balance seems more doable. The next day, Mars moves into your solar eighth house, releasing its direct pressure on your sign that’s been in effect since August 11th. You're now in a good position to sort out issues related to sharing and power dynamics in relationships, and to explore your deeper desires as well. Changes are on the horizon, which can include improvement in a friendship, group endeavor, or community project. |
Aquarius
An emphasis on your intimacy sector in September is an introspective influence, dear Aquarius. People in your life are generous with their time and energy. If you need a fresh start in an intimate relationship or with financial matters, this is a time to begin anew. You may find novel ways to make better use of resources that you’ve had for some time, putting them to work for you. As you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside. You’re in good shape for focused attention on special projects and relationships this month. This is a time of year when you crave a little more from life, or when you rid yourself of a bad habit or attitude and gain more personal power and a stronger sense of accomplishment. You’re likely to get to the bottom of a complex matter, especially with the boost from the New Moon on the 10th. As the month advances, you’ll find more and more reason to get out and about, diversify, explore, and discover. You might act on an impulse or enjoy some healthy competition or ambition. You’re ready to make changes, solve problems, and get things done, and it feels good. It’s time to put extra pep into lifeless routines, chores, or duties. You might also benefit significantly from investigation or research. Your schedule may feel demanding, but you seem to thrive on this kind of energy right now. You’re motivated to do your best, excel, and advance. Still, Venus continues its transit through your solar ninth house until the 10th, encouraging a more active or carefree expression of your feelings. You’re more inclined to make beneficial connections in places of learning or while venturing beyond your usual routine. You’re exceptionally able to magnetize positive things your way on a professional level from the 10th onward. But while you can be in the spotlight in key ways, what you’re managing behind the scenes is making a significant impact on your success. You’re inspired to do your best or to reach a little higher, and it feels good to do so. Venus here boosts your charm in professional or public dealings, as well as your pleasure levels. You might take more interest in the image you are projecting to others. Your helpfulness and kindness seem to come shining through on the job or with superiors at this time. Uranus begins its five-month retrograde phase this month. This wayward, inventive planet has encouraged you to express yourself more authentically and creatively during its transit of your sector of joy. While it's retrograde until February 8th, you’re inclined to slow down with these changes. Life is less about spontaneously reacting and more about considering which reforms are best for you in the long run. Creative projects or even relationships, especially those begun on a whim, can benefit from some review and refinement. Mercury and then the Sun enter your spirit sector on the 10th and the 22nd, pulling you out of your shell, as you crave a little more experience or connection. You’re a bit more spontaneous now. This can be a good time for further studies or getaways, although there can be a whirlwind of activity around the 26th thanks to the energy of a Full Moon in your communications sector, and you’ll need to pace yourself. This Full Moon encourages making connections. It can be a time of revelation or epiphany regarding learning, transportation, connecting, or communications. This can be an exceptionally busy time when you need to take care of important errands or tie up loose ends. It’s a powerful time for understanding and a wide-open mind. Your true feelings on a matter can overcome you, and while your emotions might surprise you, they also get you into a better position to make choices and decisions. You’ll enjoy some beautiful opportunities to learn new things and make real progress on your projects once you clear up some ambiguity. Mars moves into your partnership zone on the 27th, meaning that Mars is also opposing your sign and you can sometimes feel challenged. This transit, lasting until November 25th, brings animation to your life through others, and especially partnerships. Clashes are possible, but so are resolutions to long-standing issues. Perhaps a relationship or person motivates you to pursue a particular goal. You can be in the mood to learn, teach, or expand your understanding of a matter in the last week of the month. It can be a time to put your talents to use or even show them off a little. You might express yourself creatively and push yourself beyond fear for beautiful results. It feels great to detach yourself just enough to enjoy yourself more fully. |
Pisces
September is a gentler month for you, dear Pisces. This month, your relationships, companionability, and intimacy take center stage. Collaboration and cooperation are in focus. You are likely to attract intelligent or interesting people into your experience. Your interactions with others hold tremendous potential for fresh ideas and new ways of thinking. There can be a lot of activity related to your social life or partnerships now, and while this can be quite positive overall. More often than usual, you may be allowing others to lead the talks. September finds you at your most accommodating and attentive. Sharp focus is on your social life and/or a significant relationship. In truth, others may demand much of your time and energy, but for the most part, your involvement is rewarding. Until the 10th, your feelings are going through a regeneration of sorts. This is one of the better periods of the year for attracting the support you need, either material or emotional. It’s also a good time to get the most out of others’ talents and resources. Feelings of love and attachment can be intensified. While other themes in your life point to a generally more outgoing period of the year for you, this Venus transit suggests some introversion or a tendency to enjoy private time in the first ten days of the month. It also implies that you’re taking things to heart more than you show. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 10th. During its long-term transit of your solar fourth house, Uranus brings some innovative but also up-in-the-air elements to your home or personal life. With Uranus retrograde until February 8th, it can be a time to catch your breath and examine what you need and want along these lines. Your attitude toward security, dependence, attachment to the past, and family or domestic life continues to evolve, and the goal now might be to recognize and adjust your responses to the world so changes feel less random. With a slower pace, you have a better chance of understanding what’s going on around and inside you. The New Moon on the 10th can push for a new beginning on the relationship front. If you need a fresh start, this is a time to begin anew. Regarding your closest alliances, whether it’s about reconciliation, fixing problems, enhancing a partnership, or attracting a new relationship, the cosmos are lending a helping hand. While September isn't the most energetic period of the year for you (and this is often the case), you may feel remarkably revitalized by the company, support, or generosity of others. From the 10th as well, Venus transits in harmony to your sign as it journeys through your adventure sector, boosting your appeal and courage to enjoy new experiences. This is a nice transit that also stirs a love of learning and encourages you to explore some of your more unusual tastes and interests. You might enjoy a vital creative or romantic connection and a confidence boost, especially around mid-month when the Sun and Mars harmonize. Cooperation is key right now, but some playful competitiveness also works and may nudge you to do your best. Your feelings and connections are spicier. You are ready to put yourself out there, and your natural charm is incredibly endearing. You crave activities where you can create, compete, or play, and you can be excited to take the lead in a relationship, romance, recreational activity, or hobby. Instead, you want to move forward in these areas. A relationship may be a powerful motivator to better yourself or do your best. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into your solar eighth house, and you can learn much from observation and reflection. A Full Moon occurs on the 26th, and you can have an epiphany regarding your needs and wants. This Full Moon can help clarify certain decisions or a path to take. Whether you’ve been ignoring your need to pamper yourself or you’ve been overdoing it recently, it’s time to balance the scales. Blockages related to money or business, and maybe a stronger need for security and safety, can temporarily disrupt the equilibrium or your enjoyment of a relationship. It’s a good time to bring a problem into the light so that you can finally resolve it and put it behind you. Finances are improving this month, in fact, and this Full Moon might bring a vital conclusion or result. In the last week of the month, you're more likely to tune into your motivations and desires. Opportunities for setting things right with money or with the deeper dynamics in a relationship can emerge. There can be pleasant surprises related to home and family, and problem-solving about emotional or domestic matters can be in focus and positive. There can be satisfying progress on a family or home-related matter. Matters of the heart can thrive, and it’s a good idea to take the time to enjoy the vibes. You are well-positioned to explore new approaches to old problems and family relationships. You might become inspired to redecorate or change things up with nice results. As well, Mars heads into your work and health sector on the 27th, and you have more energy to pursue your work, routines, and health pursuits. |

Void of Course Dates this Month

On August 3rd, Chiron turns retrograde, and it will continue to travel in this apparent backward motion until January 6th, 2027. This cycle is good for introspection and reassessing the mental and physical health programs in our lives. We tend to look within for healing with Chiron retrograde…. Read more about Chiron turning retrograde in Taurus on its calendar page.
On August 12th, the New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Leo prompts a new beginning–we’re starting anew. This eclipse is the second in a Leo-Aquarius set that began in February and is a total Solar Eclipse. In the sign of Leo, confidence, creativity, romance and dating, games, sports, recreation, speculation, hobbies, or children are a strong focus on a personal level. This New Moon eclipse might challenge these matters and present opportunities for new beginnings. Long-term changes are in the works! Flaws in an important system in our lives reveal themselves around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to begin.
This eclipse can highlight and challenge our issues surrounding our romantic connections, pursuit of entertainment, and attitude toward expressing and enjoying ourselves. We might take steps toward improving in these areas by tackling things that undermine our goals or connections.
Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves. Ultimately, we are now in a position to understand that changes or endings are necessary for our own growth, and that we can handle these things! It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our need to stand out, express and share our talents, and play and enjoy our pastimes. Those of us with planets and points strongly stimulated by this eclipse can feel especially drained and tired, both physically and emotionally. There is a need to let go, forgive, cleanse, and release… Read more about this Solar Eclipse in Leo on its calendar page.
On August 28th, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in Pisces, awakening us to our emotional needs. Note that this is the sixth eclipse of an eclipse set of seven occurring along the Virgo-Pisces axis that began in September 2024 and runs until February 2027.
This August eclipse can serve as a further prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. Occurring close to the time of a Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury, an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air is likely and significant. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom. Our feelings also blossom now. Full Moons are about connecting us with things we already know but aren’t acknowledging, such as buried feelings, or they bring secrets to light and projects to a turning point.
This Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants. We are encouraged to find a balance between day-to-day functions and routines, physical health, and the need for order (Virgo) and vision, spiritual health, disorder, and the infinite (Pisces). It’s important to note that we’re temporarily in the dark about a matter at the time of an eclipse, and we’re seeing another area of life as if we’re looking at it through a magnifying glass. It’s distorted—we don’t yet have the full picture. This perspective does help us, ultimately, but it helps to remember that we’re missing something and to defer judgment. It’s a time to take special note of your dreams, as well as insights or thoughts/emotions that seem to come from “out of the blue.” These could be creatively inspiring… Read more about this Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on its calendar page.
On August 31st, Jupiter forms a trine with Saturn, and this is the first of three such aspects while Jupiter is in Leo and Saturn is in Aries. We’re ready to put in the effort to achieve our practical goals. We are pragmatic, realistic, and our judgment is especially sound–and we derive much satisfaction from practical accomplishment.
The key to harnessing this incredible energy is to identify and find pleasure in the simple things that make us happy. At the same time, we may notice areas where small, incremental improvements can be beneficial. We see opportunities where we previously saw limits, but we’re not going overboard. It’s a fine time for setting and pursuing reasonable goals. Being even-tempered can be a successful approach now… Read more about this aspect on its calendar page.

This Month’s Overview Horoscopes
The following horoscopes outline how the above astrological influences might affect each individual sign.
Overview horoscopes fill in here as I write them, ideally during the week before the month begins. It is not unusual to see some signs temporarily missing as I write the twelve of them over the course of a few days, starting with the featured sign of the month (birthday month).
Aries
August's energies highlight your natural charm and encourage self-expression, dear Aries. You make a good impression on many levels, whether physical, emotional, or mental. Excitement along romantic and creative levels is possible. While pastimes, hobbies, and entertainment are in strong focus in the first few weeks of the month, it’s back to business by the 22nd. There is a strong focus on your creative or romantic life this month. Recreation, pleasurable pastimes, artistic pursuits, entertainment, and love are areas of increased activity and focus. It’s a beautiful time to make deep, long-lasting changes that improve your life. You’re expressing yourself confidently, and you’re more determined. You’re finding fantastic ways to express yourself and your personality through love, games, recreation, hobbies, and creativity. A special love relationship or project can blossom, while you're also paying crucial attention to the practical side of things. You can find plenty to enjoy in studies, personal interests, and conversations. You are motivated and engaged, and you're communicating in enthusiastic, engaging ways. It's a strong time for creative writing and expressing your ideas. To boot, from the 6th onward, Venus travels through your partnership sector, blessing your one-to-one relationships and boosting cooperation and collaboration. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th may clear the path for a new start in a romance or with a creative project, and possibly even a new creative field. In the weeks following, you could be making big decisions about recreation, hobbies, love, and children. A more involved, connected approach is particularly successful and rewarding now. Others may pull you into activities you enjoy, or they may somehow inspire you to act. From the 11th, your ruling planet travels through your solar fourth house, and home life grabs more of your attention. You might actively work through problem areas and improve family relationships. You can feel energetic and enthusiastic about decorating, organizing your home, going on outings with family, or fixing problem areas in your personal life. This positions you well to take action and devote energy to improving things around the home. Extra attention to your home or nest can be very satisfying and healing. You feel less burdened by responsibilities and more excited about keeping order in your personal domain. Communications of all kinds are in the spotlight, especially those involving creative contacts, children, and romantic interests. Grand ideas regarding these things could emerge now, especially from the 12th to the 17th. Hobbies are exciting, and special interests can be locked down. Problem-solving skills are strong–you’re treated to the big picture of a matter right now. You can feel excited and mentally engaged, with a new understanding of a matter or a solved problem in focus. There can be more clarity and possibly improved communications in your personal life. When it comes to self-expression, relationships with children, dating, hobbies, and entertainment, the pipelines are open this month. It's a powerful month for feeding your spirit. As the month advances, you do pick up the pace with work and health routines. In the meantime, your romantic and creative worlds are set for a significant change. The Sun heads into your work and health sector on the 22nd, and Mercury does the same on the 25th. These influences turn your attention to the essential systems in your life, your daily routines, work, and personal well-being. You’re in a great position to organize your life, starting small and working your way up. You can blaze your way through difficult problems or challenges. Your everyday affairs, health, and habits come into stronger focus. This is a time to invest more time and energy in your work and in your fitness or nutrition programs. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th ultimately reminds you of the importance of taking time to recoup, balancing attention to your physical health with care for your emotional health, and balancing your attention to work and procedure with the need for rest. It can also be a time of great hunches and an intense awareness of situations that no longer work for you. It’s not the time to make sweeping decisions, however. It’s best to recognize your feelings and allow a plan to unfold gradually to handle things. This eclipse signals a time when your psychic radar is working overtime, and you can have an epiphany about your true feelings on a matter or instincts about a person or project. There may be a need for emotional and psychic release or escape to recuperate, rest, and rejuvenate. You might also need to bring closure to a neglected or unresolved issue in your life. Jupiter's trine to Saturn this month is a wonderful and practical booster transit. For you, Saturn’s transit to your sign feels more comfortable, meaningful, and purposeful with this support from lucky Jupiter. You have a strong sense that the effort you put into stabilizing your life helps free you up to enjoy life more. You are balancing responsibility and recreation more evenly now, and it feels terrific. Your love life improves as you bring a stronger sense of self into the equation. There is more enjoyment in your life as you come to a better balance between work and play. |
Taurus
You can be strongly motivated to take action that helps boost your feelings of security as well as your comfort in August, dear Taurus. You have wonderful support from the cosmos for these efforts. Your nesting instincts are strong. You could discover new ways to earn more and make your home life more enjoyable and comfortable. You might also reorganize your personal space in such a way that you can think more clearly (less clutter) and produce more. Family may be especially cooperative or willing to lend you a hand with your endeavors. It's a strong period for opening up conversations with loved ones or roommates, drawing up plans and lists of priorities, and spending a little more time on activities and endeavors in the home. Your ideas are big and ambitious. It’s a great time to share happy moments or have discussions with people you care about. You’ll want to speak the truth, and you’re inclined to discuss issues clearly and openly. Developing long-range plans is both fun and productive. You’re likely to find inspiration in the information coming into your world now, and seeing things clearly in your personal life can be a relief. You’re feeling especially open and forthcoming with loved ones. Your approach to matters related to the home, family, and your feelings is philosophical and fair. Making plans for domestic matters is in favor now. Improvements in your relationships with family, relatives, children, and love interests figure strongly. You’re putting more effort, money, or pride into home improvement, family, and your domestic world. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th can bring powerful new beginnings of major new long-term projects and possibly family and home-related affairs in the weeks following. The need or motivation to make changes and tweaks to the personal systems in your life emerges, paving the way for a more fulfilling home and family life in the long run. There can be wonderful new ideas and subjects that capture your interest this month, especially with Mars traveling through your solar third house from the 11th onward. Connecting, traveling, and communicating become more straightforward. Do watch for hasty actions and words, as things may seem to be moving very quickly. Venus’ move into your work and health sector from the 6th is good for finding some peace or harmony in your daily routines. Work or daily life may seem more enjoyable and pleasant. Work benefits from openness to new methods or teamwork. Home and personal updates can be quite successful, and even small improvements can feel wonderful. The Sun and Mercury move into your sector of romance and creative expression on the 22nd and 25th, respectively. Heartfelt activities are in focus now, and you feel ready to share yourself, your feelings, and your ideas with others. You can accomplish much as you ride on a bit of competitive or growth-oriented energy. Rewards come from a gentle challenge. It’s a time to stay on top of things socially, as opportunities abound. You’ll make an extra effort to feel more supported, nurtured, and at peace. You’re also stimulated, engaged, and ready to take action. While you focus on personal matters, healing energies, and positive reinforcement, you’re interested in triumphing, bringing something to a new level, or taking the lead. Love is fun, verbal, and communicative. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th furthers a theme in your life, prompting you to see your friendships, connections, and happiness goals in a whole new way. You are awakening to a need for kindred spirits, more involvement with others, and self-expression through creative mediums. This eclipse turns your attention to areas of your life that have become dysfunctional or unsatisfactory. Your feelings for someone or a special project can reach a turning point. Instead, powerful realizations about long-term happiness goals are in the spotlight. There can be some extra drama or exaggeration surrounding this eclipse, so take your time and observe before jumping into action. Helping ground you is a brilliant trine between Jupiter and Saturn. This transit positions you well to discover creative and practical ways to live, work, and settle in. You might put a problematic situation or long-term problem behind you. It’s a great time to work on areas of your life where you’ve previously felt a little alone, unsupported, or stagnating. Look for opportunities to improve your home life, inner world, and relationship with yourself. Support for a home project may be in the spotlight now. Living conditions and family relationships improve with greater stability and security, while maintaining a spirit of openness and warmth. |
Gemini
August gives you a boost with learning, sharing, and creating, dear Gemini. It's a communicative, playful, and connected period for you. The month begins on a busy note and ends on a more serene one. You are sociable, reaching out to others and enjoying the connections you’re making, and you're focusing on your happiness goals and pursuits. Later in August, however, there is a stronger desire to enjoy the peace and security of family life and far less interest in venturing far from home. Networking can bring rewards or opportunities, although excesses in your social life may need some curbing. Your charm is natural and finds an adoring audience, especially from the 6th onward, when Venus travels through your sector of joy. When you extend help, graciousness, and courtesies this month, you open up opportunities to expand your world. This wonderful transit is excellent for a smooth flow of love energy in your life. It’s a time when others enjoy your company, notice your most appealing characteristics, and are receptive to your ideas and invites. It’s also a brilliant period for using the power of thoughts and words to transform your life for the better. With an emphasis on your solar third house, you're encouraged to experiment with different ideas and projects, but don't let it get to the point where you're living life in a state of nervous tension. You'll miss out on the real opportunities that are bound to present themselves. Pleasant conversations and happy news are themes this month. It’s a fine time to enjoy greater insight into your special interests. It’s also a time of good luck with transportation or communication systems. You’re optimistic, but be cautious about taking on or promising too much. Otherwise, it’s a fine period to stretch your mind and look for opportunities to advance your goals. You can feel thoroughly enthused about what you’re learning or communicating, especially from the 12th to the 17th. It may be that you quite suddenly see a way out of a problem or understand a matter more clearly, which comes as a relief. You’re eager to write, study, speak, or share ideas. Information coming in can move your life forward. With others around you responding well, you feel even more motivated. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th can stir changes with a particular mental pursuit or project. You might find new channels or platforms for self-expression that are more imaginative, creative, and ultimately more fulfilling. It’s a fine time to turn over a new leaf by making connections or honing your skills. With the Sun and Mercury moving into your solar fourth house on the 22nd and 25th, you’re beginning to need less mental stimulation and more time to rest. It's a home-centered, back-to-roots time. You can find comfort in faces and places you love. Pouring more of your energies into your personal life can be very healing and rewarding, and it can boost your confidence along with your sense of security as you do. Since the 11th, in fact, Mars in your solar second house has been encouraging you to slow down and pace yourself. You’re more interested in taking time for yourself, and you find much of your pleasure in family and home life. It’s a good idea to avoid impulsiveness with your money. Otherwise, there can be an important focus on achieving more self-reliance. Finances can also be a hot topic! Indeed, it can be a powerful time for business and money matters. You’re likely to want to take the lead or initiative now. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th serves as a cosmic push towards finding a better balance between your home and work life, or your professional and personal life. Aim to acknowledge new feelings that surface, but sit with them before taking action. Take things step by step, day by day, and trust that you'll get to all that you need to do in good time. Jupiter's trine to Saturn puts you in great shape for bringing more order and stability to your life, particularly with your communications, studies, friendships, and long-term dreams and goals. You can come up with truly workable ideas and methods for manifesting your innermost desires and dreams. You are learning valuable skills and combining practical and fun areas of your life. For example, you might make some money or even a full-fledged business out of a personal interest or do something you thoroughly enjoy that also contributes to a practical goal. Teamwork and communication can strengthen bonds. There’s likely to be an emphasis on learning, particularly self-taught or home-learning endeavors. You seem to bring out the best in others and to support them or offer useful advice. |
Cancer
Emotions settle, and the month begins with a sense of calm, dear Cancer. Money, comfort, or security are a big focus in August. It’s a good month for taking care of business, attending to practical affairs, and devoting time to finances or special projects. From the 11th onward, you have the energy to move mountains as Mars moves into your sign, clarifying your desires. With the Solar Eclipse on the 12th, you’re clearing the path for new beginnings on a financial or business front. After a short period of reorientation, you feel more in control. At first, you may not know exactly where you’re headed, but you are putting more faith in the universe and your intuition to guide you in the right direction. Ultimately, the chance for a new beginning or a commitment to a financial goal will arise. Matters related to money, resources, talents, comfort, and security are a strong focus. You may find yourself making changes and tweaks to your life in these areas, particularly. The motivation is strong to make your goals related to finances, business, security, and comfort more achievable and fulfilling in the long run. Your success-oriented approach wins you points this month. Success comes from a generous spirit and open approach. From the 6th forward, Venus transits your home and family sector, encouraging special attention to your domestic world and bringing more harmony to it. Even little improvements and advances can feel big and exciting. As you free yourself from an emotional block, you can feel pleasantly surprised. A fun, happy purchase or creation for the home can be in focus. You feel more equipped to make long-term decisions this month. You may plan or map out strategies for improving your relationship with money, or come up with fabulous ideas for using your resources more efficiently. You can be excited about exploring and building on your talents. It's a time to round out and boost your sense of self-worth. You're likely to gain a better understanding of your capabilities and the resources and talents you already have. As you take more pride in your work, possessions, and ability to earn, improvements naturally follow. You're exceptionally self-motivated with Mars in your sign from the 11th onward. This transition brings a surge of energy and assertiveness, making you feel more outwardly effective and decisive. Until then, it’s advisable to take some extra rest to prepare for this energetic shift and ensure that you’re ready to make the most of it. After the 11th, you might often find yourself taking the lead or working towards your goals independently, at your own pace. There are times when you may need to practice some self-control, as you can quickly feel bored or impatient. However, this period also offers you personal initiative, making it an opportune time to pursue goals you have put aside. Some self-centeredness is beneficial for you at this time, as it allows you to prioritize your personal needs and desires if things have fallen out of balance. You’re moving into a very lively, connected, and communicative period with the Sun and Mercury moving into your solar third house on the 22nd and 25th. You'll benefit from putting your feelers out for new ideas. New interests or communication channels are opening up for you, which can lead to additional opportunities across different areas of life. Your ideas, advice, or guidance might stand out and can be in demand. There’s more movement and general “busyness” in your solar chart in later August. You have greater confidence and a stronger desire to take action. Running errands can take up more of your energy and attention. You’re likely to feel refreshed and a little braver or interested in seeing results. This can be a mentally busy and potentially illuminating time. A Lunar Eclipse on the 28th can prompt cravings for bigger things or some distance from the mundane affairs of your life, and you’ll seek some escapes from time to time. You can be trying new things and approaching your relationships differently. Pleasant surprises or new friendships can result from learning pursuits or special interests. There can be something published, expressed, or promoted that helps you turn a corner. Transportation news or problems can be part of the picture. Jupiter's harmony with Saturn this month is a supportive, powerful transit. For you, your work and money-making efforts get a boost. You’re using tried-and-true methods to create truly workable, fruitful situations. New ways of making money or doing business can work as you apply more structure and self-discipline. It’s a strong time for practical success! Applying yourself to your work comes more naturally to you now, and your ideas find satisfying outlets. It’s also a good time to improve your reputation. |
Leo
August is a potentially fabulous month for you, dear Leo, with the Sun and Mercury visiting your sign as well as Venus and Mars harmonizing with Leo. The month brings vital energy for personal influence. You are magnetic when sharing ideas, reaching out, and communicating. Communications and learning are in favor, particularly from the 9th onward, as well as short trips, communications equipment, and transportation. Your love life can be particularly active with the lines of communication opening up wide. You’re also attracting people and opportunities to you through your ideas, wit, and intelligence this month. There are brilliant aspects involving the Sun and Mercury in your sign this month, pointing to multiple outlets for self-expression and appreciation from others. Your ideas are well-received. Publishing and promotion are favored, although there can be times when you’re coming across so powerfully that you generate some strong opinions or resentment. As well, some opposition or challenges with someone close to you can present as occasional obstacles in August. This is your time to make wonderful personal renovations. You’re discovering yourself through your ideas, interests, activities, experiences, and discoveries. Opportunities to expand your horizons, perhaps through publishing, additional reach, adventure, or education, can present themselves. Even though your first instinct may be to go it alone, this is an important time for connecting with others and sharing experiences or expertise, especially while Mars travels your social sector until the 11th, after which you’ll find an increasing need to balance your activities with downtime. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th is a real kickstarter, although it can begin with a feeling of frustration. Ultimately, this eclipse enables you to start fresh on a personal level, perhaps because it’s something you feel you need. You’ll be getting noticed, but before and around the eclipse, you could feel overlooked or underappreciated. Even minor improvements and changes to your personal presentation can have a significant impact in the weeks following this lunation. This eclipse energy can be disorienting at first but ultimately very rewarding. It can be a time to show others a fresh new face — one that better reflects your current stage of growth — and break out of outworn patterns of greeting the world and presenting yourself. You can be moved to share a little more by talking, writing, and connecting with others this month. You communicate persuasively, and others see you as especially wise and fair. Opportunities to expand your mind, learn something valuable, or resolve a conflict may present themselves. There can be exciting connections made through school, in the neighborhood, while running errands, and online. August brings a strong focus on personal changes and security or money. Friends and connection are inspiring. You are in great shape for connecting with like-minded people or for sharing your interests harmoniously with others. Mind you, there can be times when you feel a little torn between going your own way and enjoying togetherness. As much as you’d like to do both sides well, you may be feeling a little confused or tired, and finding a way to tone things down makes sense. Getting to a state of balance can be challenging but rewarding now. Still, with Mars in your privacy sector from the 11th onward, aim to honor your need for rest and reflection when possible. Choose your battles wisely. There can be so many opportunities and ideas available to you now that you feel overwhelmed. While you should certainly think in big terms now, avoid taking on so much that you don’t know where to begin. Also, watch for arguments that are not worth your effort. While you could be wrestling with some decisions, you can in fact be a real dynamo with a little extra solitude and time to yourself. Money, business, talents, and resources come into stronger focus in the last nine days of the month as the Sun transits your solar second house from the 22nd and Mercury from the 25th. These shifts stir a desire to build up your reservoir, improve your bottom line, and develop what you already have. You more fully enjoy attending to your projects and things. You take more interest in settling in or building upon your current resources. The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on the 28th can bring a money matter to a turning point or conclusion. You might awaken to your feelings for someone at this time. This eclipse also has a way of bringing dysfunctional areas of your life to your attention! While watching for exaggeration is a good idea, paying special attention to emotions emerging now is important. A larger theme surrounding this set of eclipses concerns ownership, sharing/ income, and support. Buried or long-brewing situations can reach a head. With Jupiter's trine to Saturn, you're likely to find effective channels for expressing your unique personality and ideas. At the same time, you’re learning and developing your skills in such a way that you can better express yourself and perhaps reinvent yourself or improve your image or personal presentation. This influence also suggests you’re earning the respect of an audience. Your reliability shines. However, it’s how you still manage to do your own thing and lead the way in combination with your constancy that earns you the most respect and rewards. |
Virgo
You can have a greater need for rest and relaxation, and perhaps even some solitude, in the first three weeks of August, dear Virgo. Even so, there is likely to be quite a bit of attention coming your way! Clarity in friendships arrives this month. You approach your new astrological year, but you still have some end-of-the-astro-year contemplation to do. Try to treat this period as a time for gathering your energies and closing important projects or situations. Although you are not moving forward quickly in many other life departments quite yet, events behind the scenes are at play, conspiring to get you back into high gear. In fact, you’ll have plenty of opportunities this month to boost your spirits and emotional health through healing activities, rest, and connections. If you can manage it, this is a good time for a refreshing retreat or quiet change of pace. Increased intimacy with someone can figure strongly now, or there can be meaningful discoveries about your inner workings. It can be a relatively private or contemplative period — a time to collect your thoughts, digest recent experiences, and reorient yourself. You benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until the 6th. This position accentuates your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. Nevertheless, you can be undecided this month, gathering your energies and weighing your options until the 22nd. You frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters until the last week of August, when you’re inspired and motivated to chase your dreams. As well, until the 11th, Mars at the top of your solar chart animates you on professional levels. Aim to identify, recognize, and nurture your ambitions. You’re in a great position of confidence to take on responsibilities, take the lead, and work hard for what you want and need. You do need some personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one. Still, your overarching goals and responsibilities continue to hold space at this time. You’re in a particularly good stage for money and gifts as well as attention to developing your talents and resources in August, particularly after the 6th. Look for creative ways to develop talents and build your resources. Mars moving into harmony with your sign, beginning on the 11th, is quite magical and stirring. Friendships become especially lively, and making a new, very positive connection with a helpful person can figure strongly in August. A Solar Eclipse occurs on the 12th, reminding you to take care of unfinished business before moving forward. Whether it’s a relationship, a way of life, or an attitude that needs to be put behind you, it becomes very clear that you need to make a meaningful change. Something hidden or a secret could emerge, and while this can be disconcerting at first, it’s also freeing. You’re preparing yourself to move on to bigger and better things! You’re likely to see areas of focus and lines of thinking that are good for you and which ones are slowing or weighing you down. Support from behind the scenes or the resolution of a long-standing problem can figure strongly. Part of this can involve seeing things in a positive and forgiving light, as you gain a wonderful perspective. Your interactions, thinking processes, musings, or conversations can be particularly helpful. Hindsight is valuable now! This is also a time for drawing upon your wisdom and helping others. You may have a significant meeting or event that occurs behind the scenes or a new understanding of an issue that has weighed heavily on your conscience. The Sun enters your sign on the 22nd, and Mercury on the 25th, pulling you out of your shell. You’re braver about expressing yourself, and you’re ready to take on a challenge. It's a more visible, personally powerful period of the year for you. These influences bring out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. Use this extra boost of visibility to further your plans. The Full Moon on the 28th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it pulls your sharp attention to a relationship matter and your feelings that are hard to deny at this time. Pay special attention to what others are teaching you about yourself. This eclipse is in your opposite sign, drawing your strong attention to relationships, and it's a cosmic push towards recognizing your relationship needs. Tension now can drive you to make important changes. This eclipse is about finding a balance between your autonomy or independence and your need for perspective, a person, or a companion. Jupiter's trine with Saturn supports your efforts to sort out financial and emotional problems. It’s an excellent time for a confidant or group that helps you find some release from difficulties. Blocks in your intimate life might break through. This influence strengthens your resolve and leads to a better understanding of your inner world, responses, and closest relationships. Solutions are occurring now that suggest steady forward motion. |
Libra
There's a stronger focus on your happiness goals, social life, and private life this month, dear Libra. Your responsibilities to the outside world are strong from the 11th onward – you are large and in charge. While your working life keeps you on your toes through to the end of the month, you begin to require quality personal downtime and solitude in the last week of August. In the first three weeks of the month in particular, you are in an excellent position for collaboration. This is a powerful time for learning and sharing ideas as well. You’re picking up good ideas like a sponge at this time. From the 9th to the 25th, strong energy is with you for networking, reaching out to the community, or friendships. You can expect more invites or communications from people in your networks. Long-term plans look exciting now. A particularly positive outlook is with you, and there can be opportunities to learn, share, and enjoy friendships emerging. There can be wonderful conversations with friends and hopeful new projects on the horizon. Venus in your sign from the 6th onward is excellent for personal charm and perhaps a smattering of healthy indulgence or self-pampering. In many ways, you’re making up for lost time. While your love life has been complicated recently, and others may have even undervalued your worth, you are now strutting your stuff. You're magnetic, and the world is appreciating your unique style. Boosts relate most to your social life, mind or outlook, partnerships, personality, love life, and connections this month. Specifically, you may find yourself more influential in groups, with friends, and with a partner. Your social life and relationship needs or goals are evolving. The New Moon on the 12th is a Solar Eclipse, and it may usher in new beginnings in friendships, alliances, networking, and happiness goals. It’s a time for a fresh start or approach. You may be redefining certain friendships or seeing friends in a radically different light. Just a day before this eclipse, Mars heads to the top of your solar chart, stirring your ambitions to perform and succeed. There can be some issues or conflicts with people in positions of authority, such as disagreements over strategies. Still, overall, it’s a cycle that encourages a hands-on, active role in your career or the pursuit of your larger, life-path goals. Having more time to yourself as the month advances can be beneficial, with the Sun and Mercury moving into your privacy sector on the 22nd and 25th, respectively. You’re starting important cycles of retrospect and emotional renewal and looking within for answers. With these shifts, you transition into a period of the year best used for taking extra time to yourself for rest and reflection. It’s a time for releasing, letting go, purging, and healing. A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 28th, bringing realizations about health, wellness, work, and routines that prompt important changes or new plans and strategies. This could involve revelations of the need for a healthier lifestyle, recognizing the importance of work-life balance, or understanding the need for a more efficient routine. If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring around this time push you to make needed changes. Your intuition is trying to tell you something, and you might gravitate to the things, people, or situations that help you move forward. You might enjoy a coincidence leading to beautiful memories or unexpected feelings. At the same time, if you’ve neglected some elements of self-care, you’re now ready to correct the imbalance, and developing healthier habits can be part of this. With a Jupiter-Saturn trine in your relationship sectors, your friendships, partnerships, education, and communications get a boost. You’re also likely to enjoy opportunities to advance your studies and learn valuable and marketable skills. Relationships can be both committed and exciting. There can be a partnership with a friend, or a friend could be integral in achieving your goals. Partnering with a friend in a key way or meeting a significant person through a group association can be a highlight. The last week of August is good for both rest and goal-setting! Getting some time for yourself is vital – some reflection and rest can feed the soul now. While you can be somewhat retiring on a personal level at this time, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is stirring. You’re learning valuable lessons about challenging yourself, and you might reap some of the benefits of taking on more responsibility. |
Scorpio
You're in a strong position to look after the major structures in your life in August, dear Scorpio. This is a time to give extra attention to career, long-term goals, rules, responsibilities, and performance. It can also be a time of greater visibility with the public or in your professional life. Even people unrelated to your career might seem to hold you a little more accountable for your actions (or lack of action). As such, this is a time to show off what you can do. It's also a strong time for reminding yourself of long-term plans. August is strong for giving extra attention to your long-term goals, rules, responsibilities, and performance, while also leaving room for recreation, enjoyment of friends, and even a spot of adventure. As the month progresses, you’ll find yourself increasingly interested in fulfilling happiness goals. August is also a time for enlivening your intimate life and getting a better sense of what you can count on in terms of monetary and emotional support, whether this is through a partner or if it's about subsidies, loans, refunds, and the like. It can also be a rich time for understanding yourself or an intimate partner. Desires that have been buried or left unacknowledged can emerge now. Combining your resources or talents with someone can be beneficial for reaching a goal. A new opportunity might present itself in your work or career, or a project opens up and shows signs of moving forward. You can be highly productive in all the right ways, and working harder towards your goals is rewarding. The details and the ‘little things’ make all the difference. Perfecting your particular craft is natural now. You’re strategic until the 11th, from which time you are direct and straight to the point. Mars moves into your spirit sector, harmonizing with your sign. This transit boosts but also stabilizes your motivation levels. There can be new career developments or a strong focus on your longer-term life path goals. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th puts quite a bit of pressure on these matters, although it’s best to recognize that it’s temporarily magnified and judgment is skewed. Temporarily, it isn’t easy to see the other side of the coin. Unexpected events could trigger new directions in the weeks following. Even with a temporary lack of clarity, aim to pay attention to cues that seem to point you in an interesting direction. A new beginning of sorts and perhaps even a new calling can emerge related to your work. You may be in the spotlight now, or there can be significant happenings with competitors or partners that prompt new approaches to what you do and how you see yourself. You might choose a particular interest and run with it, pouring a lot of your energy into learning or furthering your understanding of a matter. It’s a time to see solutions to problems related to career or life path goals. It’s a great time for optimism and hope or supportive news that excites you about your future. Who you know may be important now, but perhaps even more vital are your positivity and confidence. Still, Venus is moving a little slowly and heads into your privacy sector on the 6th, and this is a signal for you to begin slowing down. Take opportunities to rest and relax. Think about new ways to approach your life and pursue your goals. You’re getting closer to a critical period for review and reflection. Take your time when making the bigger decisions. It can be a great time for enjoying private moments. You tend to help, service, and support others, rather quietly and automatically right now. You appreciate the more hidden or subtle elements of your life, interactions, and emotions. The Sun and Mercury move into your friendship sector on the 22nd and 25th, turning your attention to enjoyment, friends, teamwork, and networking. You'll also be more inclined to entertain long-term happiness goals now. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurring on the 28th can bring affections and creativity to full bloom. The route to fulfillment may not be immediately apparent, but the first step is acknowledging what you're seeking. You’re in an eclipse cycle in which you’re seeking your joy, and a mission to improve your life can emerge in the weeks following this eclipse as you embrace your feelings, which can be larger than life. It’s a good time to recognize your need to celebrate, play, and express yourself. With Jupiter trine Saturn, you're in an excellent position to identify what’s working and what needs to grow in your life. This balanced perspective can benefit you greatly now. Improvements are in store, and they’re not destabilizing, especially with your work, career, health, and money matters. You could make a highly workable lifestyle change – a slow but steady program that sticks. You might get into a healthy routine that benefits your career, reputation, and long-term goals. You are in a better position with bosses, teachers, and other people in authority who recognize your efforts. |
Sagittarius
There can be a stronger focus on sharing, promoting, publishing, courses, and special activities for you in August, dear Sagittarius, with your solar ninth house in the spotlight. It can also be a good time for getaways or simply breaking the usual routine. You’re expressing yourself most naturally, and others appreciate your input. You could come to a happy agreement with someone, or a resolution to a problem is in the offing. You can find something meaningful or interesting to wrap your mind around. Energy flows particularly well for most things mental and communicative, but also for relationships, especially from the 12th to the 17th. It’s a time for seeking a little more on a mental level, and you can be excited about a project, idea, or venture. There can be good news or conversations that inspire you–it’s a time of big ideas and creative vision. Your optimism can prompt you to consider something you never felt was in the realm of possibility. The important thing now is that you’re feeling inspired and allowing new ideas to flow. Stretch your mind far and fill in all of the details later when good energy is with you for doing so. Close relationships and partnerships continue to be an area of focus this month. Transits bring out strong needs and desires in the area of partnering. There is excitement stimulated through your relationship with others. You could be enjoying new interests or thinking about your plans in a big-picture way. You might relish the opportunity to learn new skills or develop your current ones, or there can be a strong focus on training, learning, and connecting. You might attract positive feedback. You are more likely to make happy connections through activities that mentally take you outside of the routine or onto unfamiliar ground. From the 6th onward, your social life is in good shape. Friends can be supportive, and networking is more enjoyable and beneficial. This is a time for feeling freer and happier as your knowledge of the world around you grows. Group activities, friendships, and community events can be in focus. You can also be quite technical and forward-looking now. Venus in your solar eleventh house is not only about socializing but also about enjoying new projects and goals and experimenting with new technology and ideas. With Mars in your intimacy sector from the 11th onward, your feelings and desires transform, deepen, and grow a little more complex or layered. A lot can happen behind the scenes or inside you. This can be a time for consolidating or combining your resources, gaining financial support, or bringing a little more excitement to your intimate life. This transit can rev up your intimate life and a close, deep relationship, bringing a renewed passion and intensity to your interactions. While this transit can sometimes stir up some trouble, it’s the kind of trouble that leads to resolutions, mainly related to shared money or power. This can also be a time to take care of debt or get support, strengthening your financial and emotional security. The Solar Eclipse on the 12th sends you in new directions. While you can feel in the dark around the time of the eclipse, in the weeks following it, new studies, interests, and activities are likely. You are more inclined to follow your heart and your passions, although you’re likely to have to deal with the mound already on your plate and come to some form of compromise to get the time to do so! Something that connects you with a new, different, or broader audience or with other ideas and cultures can be in focus now, and it’s rewarding. The last week of August brings an energy shift towards career, responsibilities, and long-term goals. You’re taking charge, and others are following your lead. Putting your practical affairs together can come exceptionally easily to you. With your ruler, Jupiter, forming a trine with Saturn, it can be a time of measured, meaningful changes and improvements that build on the existing structures in your life. You can more easily give form to your creative ideas and dream up ways to better express yourself while keeping your feet on the ground and meeting your responsibilities. It can be a time to turn your ideas into concrete realities. A creative or communications endeavor can thrive as you develop your craft or techniques. The key now is a balance of optimism and practicality. Still, the Lunar Eclipse on the 28th ultimately magnifies flaws with your living conditions or arrangements, personal life, emotional world, home, or family. Finding a better balance between your professional and personal life is an ongoing theme this year, and this lunation furthers things along. This eclipse reminds you that if your responsibilities have overshadowed your personal life to the outside world, it’s time to pay them their due attention. This could be a time of increased self-awareness or a shift in your emotional landscape as this energy offers you a fresh understanding of your feelings and relationships. |
Capricorn
Relationships are in strong focus for you this month, dear Capricorn. You're getting in touch with your innermost desires and needs. August is good for taking the time to plan and strategize rather than charge ahead, although this can change by the last week of the month. You also have a strong, continuing theme active in the first ten days of August, in which work, daily routines, and health endeavors are highlighted. The inner work you do is powerful, reinforcing your sense of self. This period of your life is quite relationship-focused but also brilliant for personal discovery, allowing you to strengthen your connections while growing as an individual. You’re getting into the right place to put adverse situations and self-limiting attitudes behind you. You are a student of human nature this month, including your own. You have little interest in superficial things and relationships. Your strong connection to family or an intimate relationship is prominent now. There can be restored faith and optimism in the important people in your emotional life. You are tuned in to the deeper issues and looking beyond the surface of matters for answers. The New Moon on the 12th is a Solar Eclipse, and it can come as a push to get started on organizing your financial affairs, seeking out support of the material or emotional variety, or starting a new plan for emotional health and wellness. Generally, it's better to feel the energy of the New Moon, intuit your next move, and then wait before putting plans into motion. A new beginning with financial or emotional support is possible in the weeks following this eclipse. There can be excellent opportunities to open up communications about deeper needs and desires this month. Intimate relationships can thrive. It can be a particularly exciting time for research, learning, investing, and sharing ideas. Influences open your eyes wide related to an intimate or personal matter. You might gain insight into someone’s behavior or find a solution to a problem that previously eluded you. It may also be a time to reach a satisfactory agreement or deal involving money or support. Venus moves up to the top of your solar chart on the 6th, and relations with bosses, the public, and business contacts are set to improve as the transit continues through August. This is a time for pleasant surprises and progress, particularly in life path goals. Your reputation gets a nice boost now. You’re seeking the best for yourself and believing in yourself. With Mars traveling through the sign opposite yours from the 11th onward, you're focusing on your social life, partnering, connecting, and exploring new adventures or experiences and ideas. Pulling yourself away from work and tasks more often can be highly beneficial now. Relationships enliven. There can be a lot going on in a partner’s or good friend’s life now, or they’re motivating you to learn, love, and enjoy life more. Relationships are spicier, adding a touch of excitement to your life. With the Sun and Mercury moving into your solar ninth on the 22nd and 25th, you’ll be spending less time reflecting and ruminating and more time living spiritedly. As the days of the month advance, you feel more outgoing and perhaps even a little adventurous. Relationships can be demanding and sometimes draining at times, but you're also more engaged and involved. You are expressing yourself well and satisfyingly. You’re developing a stronger taste for expressing yourself freely and spontaneously. These shifts are designed to pull you up and out of yourself, and you may find yourself more willing to take on a challenge or invest in your belief in yourself. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th brings your attention to a communications project or errands that need immediate handling. It's a generally busy time, but do find some space for relaxation. Watch for processing too much information or for sensory overload — aim to be discriminating with what you take in. Still, there can be important discoveries, ideas, and changes in your mindset or attitude. Avoid impulsive self-expression, but give weight to your emotions and any epiphanies. Recent inattention to detail or daily affairs may need to be rectified. With Jupiter harmonizing with your ruler, Saturn, it can be a generally strong time for productivity and meaningful improvements on emotional, family, and financial levels, especially with debts. You can be sorting out your living conditions and money situation. You may be able to work out an improved relationship or living setup that’s both reliable and happy. Solid ideas for home improvements can come to you now. You might get the support you need for home repairs, moves, or other developments. A supportive atmosphere in your family and home life can be a highlight now. Channeling your energy into constructive projects comes easily and naturally this month. |
Aquarius
You can be especially involved with others this month, dear Aquarius, and for the most part, your involvement is pleasant and rewarding, if occasionally demanding. Personal plans tend to take a back seat to others' agendas just for now. Your social life is animated, and relationships are dynamic – they’re a strong area of change and movement. From the 6th onward, surprising pleasures, good news, or inspiring ideas can be in the mix. There can be a refreshing change of pace and an uplifting of spirits. The month is infused with energy that can bring more excitement, pride, and fun to your interactions. You have the potential to attract strong, helpful, and intelligent people into your life. Your efforts to interact positively can lead to rewarding outcomes. New energy is brought to a partnership in August. This is a time for redefining relationships and relationship needs. The last week of the month can bring important revelations about money, business, and your intimate life. However, overall, it’s a relationship-centered month for you. As well, romantic, creative, and life-learning experiences are rewarding. Travel, legal, or educational plans come together nicely. Cultural events could hold extra appeal. You are more effective at expressing your creativity, or others are paying more attention to your creations. August is good for socializing, connecting, and enjoying the people in your life. Openness and generosity are the keys to success right now and can lead to new levels of understanding or generate a positive feeling of growth in your relationships. Be sure to reach out and move a little out of your comfort zone for best results. You’re experiencing increased clarity with work, health, partnerships, and finances this month. These matters are moving forward, although they’re not without their problems. You can have a hectic schedule, and you may be doing a lot of juggling, in fact, from the 11th onward, when Mars is traveling through your sector of everyday tasks. You’re feeling gung-ho about getting yourself and your daily routines into shape at this time. An overhaul of your routines or a new approach to health and wellness can be in the spotlight. A New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs in your partnership sector on the 12th, signaling a chance to start fresh. This eclipse can bring something to an end and pave the way for a new beginning, likely related to partnership. It can be a new way of relating and approaching one another in an existing relationship. Events and epiphanies this month can reinforce your needs from close relationships. A partner or significant person in your life can be in the spotlight now. Conversations can be wonderful, especially from the 12th to the 17th, as they can help you see your own feelings and ideas more clearly. Others show you things about yourself that you may not acknowledge otherwise. Discussions can be amicable, helpful, open, and rewarding. It can be a time to discuss difficulties or resolve conflicts. Someone might give you the benefit of the doubt, and your outlook is wonderfully bright. Opening up to a truth or new perspective can be significant. The trust and understanding you receive from others now can be reciprocated, leading to mutual benefits. From the 22nd onward, the Sun travels in a “hidden” or emotional sector of your solar chart, your intimacy sector. Mercury heads in the same area on the 25th. This is a time to follow your instincts and do some vital introspection. You’re seeking–and finding–the inspiration and motivation to improve, grow, and excel. Work or daily routines can be exceptionally dynamic, and you can use this energy positively by pouring yourself into your projects or health endeavors. Jupiter's trine to Saturn is a positive, stabilizing force this month. For you, it’s a strong time for efforts to improve and update your relationships, studies, and projects. Whether it’s a friendship, partnership, course of study, or special interest, you’re making it work. You can enjoy practical success that’s comfortable, reliable, and also fun and stimulating. New ideas that you refine and make work for you can come from a partner or friend. A partnership can improve through excellent communication. There can be a greater love of the less glamorous aspects of your work, studies, and projects, and you are capable of tremendous effort to further your goals. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th is part of a different sign set, and it further advances progress in money, resources, and sharing matters. Unrest or discontent nudges you to make important changes to how you earn, spend, and share your money, talents, or other resources. While emotions and realizations feel big around the eclipse, adopt a wait-and-see approach. It will take time for the information you need to make solid decisions to arrive. You’ll face feelings and make changes and improvements that ultimately lead to a stronger sense of security, predictability, and safety. Take your time before making any pivotal decisions, but aim to examine feelings coming to the surface, however raw they may be. You are receiving a cosmic push to make necessary financial changes in your life. Get organized as much as possible now. If you’ve been underutilizing a particular resource or asset, and this can include a talent, then you’ll see this clearly now. |
Pisces
August holds tremendous potential for empowering changes to your work or health pursuits and daily routines, dear Pisces, along with exciting improvements in your relationships. It’s a month that invites you to increase efficiency, get organized, improve health, and harmonize or connect with others. You’re especially busy, finding ways to eliminate waste so you can be more productive. This busyness is not only about accomplishing a lot, but also about your self-improvement efforts. Events and circumstances in August often prompt you to take better care of yourself or your everyday environment. The New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 12th is potent for daily routines, habits, health, work, and self-care programs. You’re in a great position to improve or bring to life programs that help you organize your life, starting with the smallest details. Soon enough, you'll be tweaking systems in your life so that work and health goals are more realizable and fulfilling in the long run — in other words, they serve you well not just now but later, too. This Solar Eclipse can motivate you to address unfinished business. Decisions you’ve let hang or otherwise put off can suddenly seem urgent. You’re bringing more pride, warmth, and intelligence to your work, habits, and health. It’s a great time to use common sense in these areas and improve your habits. Your outlook is positive, and it can be an excellent time for opening up conversations, enjoying consultations, taking tests, and seeking solutions to problems, particularly from the 12th to the 17th. You’re considering new approaches, methods, and ideas to improve your life, starting small and working your way up. Aim to keep an eye open for opportunities to grow and expand your skills, a business, or a project. It can also be a time when good advice is circulating, and drawing up long-range plans can be both fun and fruitful, particularly regarding health or work matters. Energies are strong for you to solve problems, make adjustments, reorganize, deal with practical details, and generally get a handle on the “little things” that make your life run more smoothly. This process is not without its challenges, but it's rewarding. You’re well-positioned for work, money matters, health, wellness, and grounding activities. There can be a positive transformation in your daily routines or financial life, or you’re working hard to secure your life and enjoy yourself as you do. It’s a pleasantly ambitious time. From the 11th onward, Mars travels in harmony with your sign, and you’re in great shape for enjoying and often excelling at fun competitions, romantic relationships, dating, sports, games, or hobbies. You’re motivated and ready to take on a challenge. The opportunities for fun and romance are not just fleeting moments but avenues you may explore and enjoy in the long term. From the 6th onward, however, Venus transits your intimacy sector. It’s a great time for addressing unusual, taboo, or complicated matters with a very open mind. Others can be pleasantly surprising, bringing light and fun into your life. There may be a good turn on a financial or business level. People are backing you up, and this feels good. The Sun heads into your partnership sector on the 22nd, and Mercury does the same on the 25th. Close relationships come into strong focus. You’ll want to pair up to make certain decisions. Your social life begins to draw more attention, and people seek you out more often. You’re focusing on partnering and relating, and it’s a good time to boost your relationships and people skills. The Lunar Eclipse on the 28th occurs in your sign, stirring pivotal emotions, feelings, and revelations. It’s important not to jump into something too quickly or to overstate your feelings. However, aim to pay special attention to epiphanies occurring around now. You’re working on making your connections stronger and happier this year, and this all starts with taking better care of yourself. With all the emotional excitement, you’ll likely feel energetically drained as you begin to see a relationship, someone, or your image and personal impact in a new light. The result can be that you want to make changes — even go through a personal reinvention of sorts. These feelings are real and vital, but it’s best to take your time with them. Jupiter harmonizes with Saturn, and it's constructive, positive, and stabilizing energy. For you, you’re in good shape in the practical areas of your life, including finances and work, as well as your health and friendships. A greater love for attending to your work, chores, and wellness routines is evident, as is the self-discipline that contributes to better health and greater satisfaction with your work. This can be a comfortable period overall for earning money, your working life, and pursuing health goals. You can find the right balance between growth and tradition. |

Horoscopes for the Month
Void of Course Dates this Month

On September 10th, Uranus turns retrograde. Each year, Uranus is retrograde for approximately 5 months. Today, Uranus begins its retrograde phase, which will continue until February 8th, 2027. During this cycle, our desire to make changes in our lives can turn inward as we get in touch with what may be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically. We may be less overtly rebellious and more inclined to follow the rules while Uranus is retrograde.
As the shift occurs now, however, Uranian energy is more challenging, and we can experience some tension until we acclimatize to the directional change… Read more about Uranus turning retrograde in Gemini on its calendar page.
Also on September 10th, the New Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo, prompting a new beginning–we’re starting anew. This lunation promises us opportunities to take charge of our lives by organizing, editing, refining work, and paying better attention to health. It’s a fertile and productive time. We’re ready to take charge of our daily routines, work, or pursuit of wellness.
We’re ready to make something special of our work, routines, or tasks. It’s a powerful time to transform our jobs, health, self-care programs, and habits. We’re filled with energy and courage to make improvements. It’s a spontaneous, creative, forward-looking time… Read more about this New Moon in Virgo on its calendar page.
On September 15th, Neptune forms a sextile with Pluto, and this is the second of many such aspects while Neptune is in Aries and Pluto is in Aquarius. In fact, Neptune will form a sextile with Pluto thirteen times, until the year 2032. With this long-term influence, we are especially able to see the layers of a situation. We’re intrigued by what makes things work and by people’s motivations, as well as economics, natural resources, parapsychology, and politics. It’s a time of rich experiences and cultural movements, transformative scientific thought and advancement, and of paying more sensitive attention to human rights.
Psychic energy is intense but not overwhelmingly so during this phase of spiritual unclogging. We seek a sense of purpose or magic now, wanting to elevate what’s mundane or ordinary in our lives. We might work on deepening our intuition, imagination, or compassion, or we might feel more compelled to act on these things to make a change… Read more about this aspect on its calendar page.
On September 17th, retrograde Chiron returns to Aries. Chiron turned retrograde while still in the sign of Taurus on August 3rd. Now, while still retrograde, Chiron returns to the sign of Aries–its last visit before moving on. On January 6th, 2027, Chiron will end its retrograde and turn direct. It will continue to transit Aries until April 14th, 2027, at which time it enters Taurus and stays there consistently. We may be tying up loose ends represented by Chiron’s transit of Aries…Read more about Chiron Rx entering Aries on its calendar page.
On September 26th, a Full Moon occurs in Aries, awakening us to our emotional needs and reminding us to consider how we are honoring ourselves in the context of our close relationships. New revelations can occur now, particularly regarding our physical bodies, leadership skills, ability to initiate and begin new things, and close partnerships.
This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other–and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. We’re brave, determined, and resourceful… Read more about this Full Moon in Aries on its calendar page.

This Month’s Overview Horoscopes
The following horoscopes outline how the above astrological influences might affect each individual sign.
Overview horoscopes fill in here as I write them, ideally during the week before the month begins. It is not unusual to see some signs temporarily missing because I write the twelve of them over the course of a few days, starting with the featured sign of the month (birthday month).
Aries
You’re particularly motivated to do a good job this month, dear Aries, or to improve your everyday life and routines. You might thoroughly enjoy helping out others. You’re more conscientious as a result and take more pride in solving problems, acquiring or honing skills, and taking care of business. As the month advances, relationships tend to steal the spotlight, although they're always a focus in September. It can be a busy month, as September frequently is, with the Sun making its yearly transit of your work and health sector. Mercury continues in this sector until the 10th, and a New Moon occurs here on the 10th as well, facilitating a fresh start or new beginning. Overall, it’s a time for getting your affairs in order, working hard, and paying particular attention to your health or fitness routines. In fact, your focus on your daily routines, fitness, health, nutrition, work, and habits is strong in the first weeks of the month. While it’s not the best period for recognition or worldly success, this is an intense period for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success. You may want to wait for after the New Moon on the 10th for official launches, but until then, you’re in good shape for toying with new ideas. Work or daily routines can keep you unusually busy. Until the 10th, a Venus transit may bring happy or helpful people into your social circle. It can present opportunities for enhancing or attracting partnerships. If you have any need for peace-making with others, it’s a great time for doing so. You might also benefit from others’ input and help. It may be that you’re craving company more than usual now, as you appreciate feeling that you have someone to lean on if you need support. Sharing pleasures and activities can be particularly appealing now. From the 10th onward, you’re seeking more depth from your relationships or projects. Venus moves from your partnership sector to your intimacy sector, and while you remain interested in developing your connections, you are becoming more focused and exclusive, and aiming to bond on deeper levels, not only on the surface. This transit is fortunate for shared money and resources, including indirect personal income, such as through loans, benefits, supplements, and support. You could find yourself more attracted to complicated or intricate areas of relationships, sharing, and intimacy, and smoothing things out. September is a strong time for enterprise, although it’s best to keep in mind the upcoming Venus retrograde period when things may slow down a tad (from October 3rd - November 13th). This month, you’re finding ways to combine responsibility and independence creatively. You’re also especially productive if left on your own to go at it. There is sound energy for teamwork, too, but with certain things, you know precisely what you’re doing and need time and space to get where you want to go. You want to make something happen, push something forward, and solve problems, ultimately feeling ahead of the game. You can have a strong desire to rearrange or reorganize your setup or living arrangements or stir up your personal life. You know the details required to complete a job, which helps your productivity. You’re also confident you can take on a challenge! It can be satisfying to offer your practical support or get involved with solving problems. Uranus turns retrograde in your communication sector, also on the 10th (many shifts happen on the 10th this month!). Uranus has a way of pulling some repressed feelings to the surface, and yet you may not feel that you can express them smoothly or fully. In the months ahead, however, during its five-month retrograde cycle, you’ll find different – and possibly more satisfying – channels for representing and expressing yourself. You could re-examine some of your recent projects or interests, which have been sporadic or sudden. As the month progresses, relationships take center stage. It's a good time for expressing yourself through your relationships. You’re also more sensitive to imbalances in your life now, and you may be seeking more harmony. On the 26th, a Full Moon occurs in your sign, bringing strong messages about companionship and independence into your life. Watch for a tendency to refuse to play a game because you don’t want to deal with the possibility of losing it! Another possible theme is that you distance yourself in a relationship or feel frustrated that someone doesn’t seem to understand you. Part of the reason for this is a sense that you have to deal with everything yourself. Aim to take the lesson from your experiences now and improve your life by doing so. Be as patient as you can, both with others and with yourself. In the last week of the month, you’re likely to open the airways and encourage others to do so in turn. There can be progress in a partnership or communications project. Recent obstacles can stir inventive thinking and new approaches. Your willingness to address issues with openness and honesty makes a big difference. Mars moves into harmony with your sign from the 27th, and you can feel considerably freer to express, assert, and enjoy yourself. With Mars animating your sector of joy, heart, creativity, and leisure, you’re motivated to throw yourself into activities you genuinely enjoy. |
Taurus
You're likely to enjoy a comfortable pace in September, dear Taurus, even with your communications picking up the pace. For much of the month, you’re able to take a break from the rigors of competition and pressure, finding more time for recreation and perhaps some romance. In fact, pleasure, joy, and creativity are the month's larger themes. With planets pushing for both work and play, you may very well reach an ideal balance. You more naturally celebrate and express your talents, abilities, and affections until the 22nd. You’re also more inclined than usual to reach out and seek feedback and reinforcement. It can be a great time to pay more attention to personal hobbies or recreation and entertainment. Venus spends time in your work and health sector, and from the 10th onward, in your partnership sector. You may be attracting helpful people into your life or seeking out happy company. This is a strong time for negotiations of all kinds. Motivation and enthusiasm in these areas of life may take a bit of a nosedive in October, however, when you could be questioning your recent choices and reassessing your goals as Venus turns retrograde and revisits the road it’s taking this month (Venus will be retrograde from October 3rd - November 13th). Try not to make ironclad commitments to new ventures until you are confident you have a handle on current ones. Otherwise, enjoy yourself! New endeavors now may face unanticipated delays later, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong for you. Energy levels are generally good in September, in fact, and creative abilities are in great form. There can be a new beginning in a romantic or creative matter after the New Moon on the 10th. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde on the 10th of September. Despite some initial concerns about finances or rearranging funds, you’re ultimately moving towards a whole new way of living. As you redefine what you value most, the respect you attract into your life evolves. You are discovering unique natural talents, learning to embrace and develop them, and letting go of old dependencies or crutches. Until February 8th, this retrograde Uranus cycle offers an opportunity to work on inner attitudes that need to change so you can move forward more confidently. It’s also a time to dream up inventive ways to make money or review and refine current projects. However, some projects might stall, and all-new launches in these areas may not get off the ground. Romantic intensity of the pleasant variety may figure strongly this month, particularly around the 14th, when the Sun in your creative sector vibes well with Mars in your communication sector. You’re also engaged mentally. Talking, chatting, and sharing are active forces in your life now. Information or news coming in can be exciting and help move a matter forward. Excitement and passion about a personal interest or a competitive situation can motivate you. It’s a time when you want to triumph, bring something to a new level, or take the lead. It’s a great time to share your high spirits with others and watch for the opportunities opening up as you do. Your inner workhorse emerges more strongly after the 22nd, when the Sun transits your work and health sector. You’re increasingly focused on taking better care of your routines, body, and work in late September. New approaches to your work or services and how you make or handle money can be in the spotlight. Problem-solving comes easily to you as you look at practical matters in a new light. A solution can come to you seemingly out of the blue, although it’s probably been with you in the past–it simply needed some coaxing into the light. You may not have been tuned in, and now you are. The Full Moon on the 26th reminds you of the importance of balance. Important dreams or intuitive flashes may be urging you to let go of things and attitudes that no longer serve you well. This Full Moon illuminates a matter that puts you into dramatic touch with a feeling that you’ve been burying or ignoring. Allowing yourself some time for stillness, rest, and rejuvenation can do wonders for you now. This can also be a time of an important idea, hunch, or intuitive flash that sets you on a new, more fulfilling path. Actively seeking opportunities to heal and improve your private life can be in focus and quite satisfying now. Mars moves into your family and home sector on the next day, the 27th, and you’ll be pouring more energy into domestic activities. You may get to the root of any lingering family problems during this transit. As well, you can bring more energy and initiative to home-related projects. Positive vibes can lead to small breakthroughs in your personal life. |
Gemini
Family and home life are in greater focus for you this month, dear Gemini. The domestic side of you is in swing, but you’re also expressing some interest in branching out and taking a chance. You can bring special creativity and warmth to your personal life in September. This is a good period for strengthening ties with those closest to you, and New Moon energy on the 10th can help you start fresh. Your living arrangements or conditions are in the spotlight this month. You have some breathing room! Home life may be rewarding and supportive in September, especially since you are giving back and taking the time to make your loved ones feel special. You’re bringing more energy and pride, along with heightened intelligence, to your personal life. These things help you make genuinely valuable improvements. It’s a strong time for talking through problems with people you love, or those with whom you live. This is a time for focusing less on meeting societal expectations and more on strengthening your domestic world. Extra attention to your roots, foundation, and closest ties continues, and it’s a time for potential healing, refinement, and organization in your home life and family relationships. You’re getting into close touch with what’s in your heart, and you’re anchoring and nesting on a psychological level. Venus continues to transit in harmony with your sign until the 10th, bringing graciousness, the power of attraction, an urge to interact, and considerable charm. This is a pleasant transit for you. It’s a time when you tend to follow your heart’s desire, and you can be more romantic than usual or receive extra romantic attention. Love can be found more readily while pursuing entertainment and pleasure, or you might discover what you love in your hobbies and pastimes. After the New Moon on the 10th, you’ll want to push forward with family and home improvement plans. Until then, it’s a time for clearing the air. There can be meaningful conversations about or with family, and things may be coming together on the home front or regarding living conditions. It’s also a decent period for romantic relations. In October and November, some revisions to creative projects or relationships may be necessary, however, when Venus will turn retrograde (Venus will be retrograde from October 3rd to November 13th). While love relationships tend to be pleasurable overall, there can be some backtracking or reticence experienced later. Venus visits your work and health sector from the 10th onward, helping you bring more harmony to your daily life and/or work. You can experience a powerful urge to restore balance in relationships with co-workers or people you spend time with daily. Social opportunities through your work or daily routines can emerge during this cycle. Also on the 10th, Uranus turns retrograde and will remain so until February 8th. While Uranus was direct in your sign in recent months, your confidence in pursuing new experiences and expressing your independence was evident. In the five months ahead, more of this growth is happening inside you than on the surface. Use this time to delve into what drives you, especially if you’ve been feeling restless or on edge. Examine which fears or attitudes have been limiting your independence and personal truth. Personal plans might slow down or go on a shelf, whether due to circumstances or because you are not as quick to make changes, but this is a period of internal growth and self-discovery. A theme that gains momentum in September is creative, romantic, and playful. It’s a strong time for making significant emotional and creative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment. In the last week of the month, you’re gravitating toward things that bring you joy and inspire you as you adopt a more interactive, outgoing, and playful attitude. The Full Moon on the 26th is another prompt to share and connect. It can be a wonderful time to break through a social barrier or recognize your true feelings for a person or project. You’re gaining new insight into your feelings regarding love and friendship, and it’s a fine time for celebrations. If you’ve been engrossed in your personal or romantic life and neglected friends in the process, now is the time to reach out and fix it. Mars moves into harmony with your sign and into your communications sector on the 27th, stirring your desire to learn and explore. In some ways, it may be particularly important to watch for coming across too brusquely. Otherwise, it’s a busy time for communicating, connecting, and commuting. It’s a wonderful time to push yourself a little, as long as you respect your need for rest and healthy living. |
Cancer
September is big for matters related to connections, thoughts, studies, and the mind, dear Cancer. You’re branching out and learning new things, and it should be a busy but enjoyable period. It’s a good time to dabble, gather information, and take in interesting news. You see what you can do to heal, repair, and improve your daily life, environment, communications, and interactions with others. Still, as the month advances, a growing theme of family, rest, comfort, and safety emerges. You're inclined to seek out more peace and predictability. Until then, you are especially communicative and sociable, learning new things, and enjoying the connections you’re making. Your personal interests can be in strong focus. September is a month of much curiosity and special interests. As you feed your curiosity, it's a better time to diversify than to focus narrowly. Be careful not to make all your decisions from your head or ego and ignore your heart in the process, but mindful choices made now can be empowering. This can be a mentally busy time, even with several hints that life is becoming a little quieter and more comfortable. Helping round things out is a Venus transit from the 10th onward that accents your natural charm and appeal. People are noticing you, wanting to be around you, and more attracted to you than usual. It’s a good cycle for more thoroughly enjoying the arts, entertainment, and pleasure-seeking activities. While the month can be a little insular in spots, Venus in this sector of your chart can be a nice release. There can be a particular enjoyment of creative projects, hobbies, and recreation. However, what you begin along these lines in September may face some unanticipated delays or backtracking from October 3rd - November 13th, when Venus will turn retrograde, but this doesn’t mean they’re doomed, by all means. Factor in the possibility that things won’t go precisely as expected for best results, but don’t let this curtail your enjoyment this month. New starts or interests are possible after the New Moon on the 10th. A new or improved method of communication or transportation can emerge now. Still, Uranus turns retrograde on the 10th, and will continue in retrograde motion until February 8th. Uranus has been helping you break free from elements of your life that have prevented growth. As you let go of the weight of secrets and inauthentic behavior, you are freer to be yourself. With Uranus now retrograde, you more often process recent events and changes and deal with your feelings about putting things behind you. It’s internal and private, a powerful process that helps you identify areas of over-attachment. Certainly, it can also be a time of unusual dreams and strong hunches or coincidences. You can feel ready to put your ideas and plans into motion and may be eager to handle a matter, come out on top, beat a personal best, or pursue your desires and interests. Your personal magnetism is strong, especially around your ideas and confidence. You feel brave about voicing your ideas and opinions. With Mars in your sign until the 27th, you want to take the initiative, making independent work or projects especially appealing. What you say, share, and do has extra energy, power, and punch. It can also be an excellent time to bump into interesting people or information. Until the 10th, however, a Venus transit awakens a self-protective or cautious part of you, particularly when it comes to your affections, spending habits, and pleasures. Familiarity and security are themes now, and these extend throughout September as Mercury picks up the baton on the 10th and the Sun gets on board from the 22nd. It’s a strong period for plumping your nest or your base of operations – you’re especially interested in making your place of retreat as comfortable and harmonious as possible. You may be making extraordinary efforts to smooth over relations with family or close loved ones, or you may be decorating or entertaining in your home. It’s also a good cycle for building up your sense of security and your self-confidence. On the 27th, Mars moves out of your sign and into your resources sector. This transit boosts your desire to live more comfortably and with a stronger sense of security. You’re motivated to take action meant to improve your current circumstances during this transit that lasts through to later in November. The last week of September is also active for solving problems at home or with business. Around the 26th is a powerful time for epiphanies about money, career, status, and reputation. This Full Moon is about a career or family matter coming to full bloom, which sets you on a new, fresh path. A sudden awareness of your duties and responsibilities can nudge you to take action. There can be a sudden push into the spotlight or the need to perform and take the lead. |
Leo
September brings a pleasing focus on security, comfort, and pleasure, dear Leo. You're ready to settle in and enjoy yourself, but you're also interested in collecting and building. The month is strong for financial ideas and plans. It's likely to end on a busy note as the emphasis shifts to your communication sector, with plenty to do but much support from a partner or good friend. In the first few weeks of September, you’re particularly invested in your things, values, money, valuables, and talents. You have a good head for business and practical matters. You’re giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Until the 10th, Venus continues to move through your communications sector, which keeps you engaged. You present your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your ideas comes smoothly and naturally. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and connect. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be quite mental and verbal during this cycle. The New Moon on the 10th can prompt a new approach to money. You may be changing the ways you manage money or the attitude that drives how you attract money and possessions into your life. You may be seeking a fresh start with money, resources, or belongings. This New Moon is wonderfully supportive of boosting your income or sense of self-worth and self-respect. The need to overcome problem areas or get past something is compelling now, so take advantage. From the 10th onward, Venus heads to your solar fourth house, and the focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family. Uranus turns retrograde on the same day, and in the five months of its retrograde motion (from September 10th to February 8th), some things calm down on the social front. It’s a valuable period to process recent changes and events with friends, which benefits you immensely and helps prevent impulsive, regrettable decisions. When you act from your heart rather than merely react to others and circumstances, you do yourself a service during this retrograde phase. As the month advances, you’ll be branching out more often. In your daily life, you are likely to experience more communication, movement, and activity, in general. It’s a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don’t always see, take up new studies or interests, and share your ideas with others. With the Sun in your solar third house from the 22nd onward, you're seeking more mental engagement. Your interactions can be boosting, enthusiastic, and spirited. Opportunities might arrive through friends and communication in the last week of September. You’re willing to entertain unusual ideas, and exploring different ways of relating and communicating can be satisfying. The Full Moon on the 26th is a creative, spontaneous influence. Communication, learning, education, travel, attitude, outlook, or publishing matters may come to full bloom, setting you on a fresh path. This lunation can awaken a new way of thinking or personal interest, and you may feel compelled to expand your knowledge, share your ideas with others, and break the routine in meaningful ways. |
Virgo
September is a personally powerful month for you, dear Virgo. You can pretty much count on increased vitality and personal appeal. While you may have been making everyone else in your life happy lately, it now feels natural and necessary to take care of your own needs. New Moon energy from the 10th gives you a boost. You feel that you can easily shed the unproductive or unhealthy attitudes that have been weighing you down in recent months. If you’ve wanted to make positive changes to your image, this is an excellent time to do so. You have considerable impact and personal presence. You are bolder than usual and motivated to pursue what you want. Generally speaking, things are playing in your favor as you begin the month. It's an awakened, outgoing, active period for you. Your personality is shining, and you project quite a bit of strength. You’re also more talkative and energetic. You can be busier than usual, and you’re in demand. You're more likely to verbalize your desires, or others seek you out for your thoughts on a situation. People hear you and notice you more than usual. Mercury in your sign until the 10th is particularly favorable for feeling the ball’s in your court, and the Sun in your sign until the 22nd is similar. You also enjoy the New Moon in your sign on the 10th, which gives you the chance to start fresh or clear the slate in a significant way. It’s time to make what you want out of your life and to focus on self-improvement. You can quite safely turn on a bit of drama now and get away with it! You feel in charge. Also until the 10th, you have Venus helping you with your finances, personal belongings, valuables, and business. It’s a decent transit for relationships, too. Although your connections are pretty much status quo during this period, you are more inclined to value yourself and what you have to offer — an attitude that reverberates back nicely to your relationships. Mercury continues in your sign to the 10th, and while it heads out of Virgo, on the same day, Venus moves into harmony with your sign. This is a strong period for education, communication, learning, and sharing. People don't just hear you, they get you. September is an energizing month for you. Others are paying special attention to you, and the feedback is good! From the 10th forward, with Venus boosting your communication skills and personal appeal, it becomes more comfortable and natural to say the right things at the right times. Love and friendship are enhanced with good conversations and communication. Others are especially attracted to your ideas and perspective. The yearly retrograde cycle of Uranus begins on the 10th, inspiring you to examine your long-term goals, career, or reputation for this cycle's duration, which is close to five months. You’ve been reshaping your reputation and carving out a unique identity, mainly through your status or profession. Now it’s time to analyze, plan, and reassess. This is a beautiful month for communicating and connecting. However, some of the new interests or ventures you begin in September can come up for review in October and November when Venus later turns retrograde. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pursue them — they simply will require some fine-tuning, perhaps more so than you initially expect. Financial matters take center stage from the 22nd. You're increasingly more focused on resources and comfort levels. You are feeling more confident about money-making abilities and your work, although there will be some adjustments to make before you can push these types of plans forward. This is a good time to settle in and turn your attention to projects with long-term potential that require patience. A Full Moon on the 26th highlights issues surrounding ownership, possessiveness, money, support, and other resources. You may need to face a financial or relationship reality or manage expectations, but once handled, it pushes you onto a new path. You may need to set boundaries, but if a significant other is doing the same, you may reach an impasse. Alternatively, you can aim to meet others halfway and wait for them to do the same. If money or support is an issue, focus on what you can do to improve your position. Delays now may lead to better conditions later, so be willing to draw on your patience. The next day, Mars moves into your privacy sector, pointing to a period ahead of transformations and renovations, mostly on an emotional level. This transit can subtly but effectively turn your attention to problems that you may have overlooked or buried. You can indeed feel a little less energetic as your priorities shuffle around or a project ends. Still, you might find that redirecting your energies into a work-in-progress can be most satisfying. Put together, these shifts suggest it’s better to ease down in the last week of September. Major new launches or beginnings should probably wait for a brighter time. This doesn't mean you can't think up exciting ideas and strategies. In fact, you can think like a pioneer in financial, security, and domestic matters. An opportunity may arise that helps you break free from restrictive circumstances, laying the groundwork for future changes and ultimately leading to greater freedom. You might upgrade technology or stumble upon an item that improves your efficiency. Ideas are fabulous now. |
Libra
You’re paying more attention to spiritual, non-material, and emotional matters this month, dear Libra, but there's an increasing focus on coming out of your shell as the month progresses. You can find yourself resurfacing emotionally! September is terrific for finding unique ways to make yourself more comfortable and settled. You might start the month inclined to withdraw from more worldly endeavors, but later, more attention comes your way, and in turn, you seek a stronger connection to the world around you. While you’ve been rather introspective, and there's more of this benefiting you this month, you’re now approaching a period of more personal influence and a stronger sense of effectiveness. Mind you, your lovely ruler, Venus, is heading towards a retrograde period, part of which will happen in your own sign, and some of the endeavors you begin now can require some backtracking later. This retrograde will occur from October 3rd to November 13th and will be a good time for looking back before moving ahead and generally getting your bearings. Still, it can be a slow, sometimes backward-feeling period. As you begin September, you're bound to focus on your more profound needs, finishing important projects, clearing out the deadwood in your life, and doing some soul searching. You may feel a strong urge to talk about and think about the past. Slowing down makes sense at this time, and relaxing, meditative activities can be a blessing. You continue to benefit from lovely Venus moving through your sign until the 10th, however, accentuating your finer, more attractive qualities for all to appreciate. You are certainly not short of admirers! Your confidence and comfort in your own skin do wonders for you now. You’re radiating good energy, and tend to attract positive attention and feedback as a result. Nevertheless, you can be gathering your energies and weighing your options. Your emotions frequently turn your attention to the past and unresolved matters, until the last week of the month, when you’re inspired and motivated to chase your dreams. Once past the slate-clearing energy of the New Moon on the 10th, you’re in the position to take action on specific things you’ve been mulling over and processing. In fact, your mental energies are quickened from the 10th to the 30th while Mercury is in your sign, favoring any task that involves getting your point across effectively! From the 22nd forward especially, opportunities to make your mark arise. It’s a time for an updated image, new approach, and personal resolutions. Until the 22nd, try to treat this period as a time to conserve or build energy and close important projects and endeavors. While Mercury moves into your sign on the 10th, increasing your desire to be heard, Venus moves out of it on the 10th. Affections stabilize, and you begin to value simpler pleasures. You find it easier to wait for things you genuinely want. There can be a strong social element to your business or earnings. In fact, you’re in an excellent cycle for enjoying activities that soothe, comfort, and boost your confidence. Attracting the right resources can be smooth and natural now. Your desire for beautiful or luxurious things can undoubtedly increase, but you are also reasonably practical right now, which can help balance it out. Uranus begins its retrograde cycle in September, and it will last almost five months. Uranus has been encouraging an upgrade of ninth-house matters, such as belief systems, education, publishing, and communications. If you’ve made changes too quickly, this retrograde phase helps you restore balance. It’s a time for processing recent changes, beliefs, and experiences. You’re no longer running ahead too quickly in these areas! On the 22nd, the Sun moves into your sign and on some levels (not all), you’re awakening and ready to share yourself with the world. This is a time for feeling more powerful, in charge, and effective. A partner can have important revelations around the 26th – a time when something about yourself or your personal plans might also come to light. If you’ve been ignoring your feelings for someone – or a relationship itself – this is a time when these things demand their share of your attention. Mars moves into your social sector on the 27th, and there can be exciting insights into your social life or a reawakening of an old interest or connection. New or surprising discoveries are made about a friend or friendship. You are less interested in the details than you are in the overall effect or impact of any particular plan. Non-routine activities and innovative ideas can play a stronger role in your life in the last week of September. Communication projects, learning, and transportation are areas of growth. Certainly, you are more spirited and open to change and progress than usual. |
Scorpio
September stands out for making connections, contributing and sharing your ideas, and finding inspiration for new goals and projects, dear Scorpio. You’re confident about what you have to offer. The month ahead has a social theme, but your practical affairs are in good shape as well. As the month begins, you’re in a fantastic period for cultivating contacts, getting involved, networking, as well as sharing your ideas and time or energy. You can make valuable new connections, or strengthen your ties with current friends and associates. It’s a high-powered time for making friendships work, and the New Moon on the 10th brings powerful energy for starting anew on these levels. Opportunities through groups, like-minded people, friends, networking, associates, and new, experimental, and innovative ideas and approaches. Your personal happiness goals or cherished causes are in focus. There is some de-emphasis of career or life-plan goals now, although these things don’t altogether drop off the radar for very long these days! You’re taking more interest in finding your joy or making a contribution. You have a stronger influence on friends and groups, and you’re in good shape for trying on new styles and ideas. Certainly, a part of you is holding yourself back with Venus in your privacy sector until the 10th. With this transit, you might take special pleasure in your private life. Dreams can be intriguing. Decision-making about money and love is not straightforward, however, and it’s wise to take your time to come to reliable conclusions. You may not be ready to share your feelings with the world. From the 10th forward, life enlivens. The New Moon in your friendship sector on the 10th is energizing and can light a fire under you to begin a new project or to make connections. Further, Venus enters your sign, clarifying your affections and boosting your feelings of comfort with yourself. You radiate warmth and gentle confidence during this pleasing transit. This is a time to attract good things and considerate people into your life. You’re in good repute, but more importantly, enjoying your associations and connections. Still, Venus is gearing up to turn retrograde, starting on October 3rd (and continuing until November 13th). As well, Mercury enters your privacy sector on the 10th, and the Sun does the same on the 22nd -- all signals to wind down instead of wind yourself up! Uranus turns retrograde on the same date (several shifts occur on the 10th this month!). While Uranus is retrograde for almost five months, you benefit from examining your dependencies and attachments. Do they help or hinder you? If financial or support matters have been all over the place, disorganized, or unreliable, now’s your chance to figure out why and what to do about it. This transit subtly shifts how you approach change, upgrades, and progress in your intimate life, finances, and debts. While the month isn't exactly fast-paced, and next month Venus will turn retrograde in your sign, September still offers a comfortable level of forward movement, especially welcome after eclipse season. Conversations open up this month, and you stand to either make a new connection that lasts in the long term, or to enhance the bond of an existing one. Projects gain some momentum. Your social life is lively and, for the most part, goes your way. Nevertheless, it’s probably wise not to jump into new projects or relationships too quickly because of that upcoming and aforementioned retrograde. You'll find more and more reason to take things easy or take personal time as the month advances, and it’s good for you. Circumstances reveal that you need more time to rest, reflect, and “just be,” particularly once the Sun heads into your solar twelfth house on the 22nd. Your major focus should be on emotional renewal, tying up loose ends, and laying low. The more dedicated you are to doing so, the better prepared you will be for increased planetary activity in your sign later. The Full Moon on the 26th falls in your work and health sector and can awaken you to a need for better routines and health. The motivation to improve your life and to make lifestyle changes is powerful indeed since it’s coming from deep within. Blockages that come to light can be revealing, if raw, but this lunation is particularly useful for motivating you to take action on your feelings and epiphanies. Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or duties can push you to make necessary changes. Obligations that you’ve forgotten about or avoided may need your attention now, perhaps with some consequences if you’ve let something slide. Your need for extra rest is high, but right now, there can be some loose ends or extra work to do before you catch a real break. Once you put something behind you, you’ll feel relieved and more balanced inside and out. The next day, Mars heads to the top of your solar chart, and circumstances seem to push you to improve and reach a little further. You’re working under the radar or behind the scenes with the Sun’s move into your privacy sector on the 22nd, but your ambitions are increasing. While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is active. It’s a work-hard, rest-hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong. Mercury moves into your sign on the 30th, and you’re finding your voice! You’ll find it easier to express yourself. |
Sagittarius
Your ambitions are stirring this month, dear Sagittarius, and you can feel quite directed. While you have a strong sense of the rules, your enterprising side emerges powerfully. September is a good time to bring more effort and personality to your public or professional life and to connect with long-term goals and dreams. Your focus is strongly on material or ambitious concerns for at least the first couple of weeks of September. As the month progresses, your social life, friends, and happiness goals take on greater importance. The Sun and Mercury are transiting your solar tenth house (until the 22nd and 10th, respectively), and you are more invested than usual in your long-term or professional goals, responsibilities, or reputation. You’re bringing more pride and intelligence to your work or public life now. You are getting noticed for your skills, views, or voice. Emotionally, you’re sufficiently detached to be able to handle your work, and yet friendly and sociable. Ideas for new directions can be valuable now, and the New Moon on the 10th can clear the path for new beginnings in these areas. If you need to rebrand yourself in some way, this can be a time for doing so. You’re resourceful and might solve a problem that had previously puzzled or frustrated you. You want to come out ahead, triumph, or accomplish something special. You can be eager to discover unique ways to manage your life. You might uncover a resource that pushes you forward, or find something that completely absorbs your attention. A healthy, happy level of competitiveness can be stirring now, and you can feel like you are turning a new page in your life. At the same time, you have Venus moving through your social sector, ensuring that your happiness goals get their fair share of attention until the 10th. Mercury and the Sun extend these themes from the 10th and 22nd, keeping social and humanitarian concerns prominent throughout September. Natural energy supports socializing and connecting. You get along better with the team, or you might share your talents or expertise with associates for excellent results. This can be a favorable time for collaborations or for reaching out to others and sharing some activities. The urge to be around people or to soak up ideas and inspiration from others is compelling now. Even so, Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 10th forward, which can point to a period of review and reflection around affections and relationships. Benefits come from paying more attention to the hidden elements and patterns of your interactions. This jibes well with Uranus turning retrograde in your partnership sector. You may be reviewing your feelings and possibly an allegiance. A shift in perception, particularly in a relationship, can be in store as Uranus begins its yearly, five-month retrograde cycle. This directional shift signals some meaningful introspection and examination of your relationship needs. Even if unreliability issues are temporarily not as prominent, exploring your inner needs for change, especially in the partnership department, can benefit you. You may even need a relationship overhaul to feel more in control when Uranus turns direct again in February. The Sun moves into your social sector on the 22nd, giving you another type of message – it’s a period for planting “seeds” in the form of ideas, dreams, and hopes. Think in terms of team play, as the greatest benefits come your way when you recognize your need for friends, a social life, or rewarding activities separate from your closest relationships and duties. Surprises and opportunities can come out of the blue, and an element/person of your past reappearing can be part of this. The Full Moon on the 26th turns your attention to friendship, romance, or a creative project. Pent-up feelings are likely to reach a head. The Sun has been encouraging your social side to come out to play, but you may be facing delays. Still, love, creativity, fun, entertainment, and self-expression are in focus. You’re in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to conclude you should enjoy yourself more fully. This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them. There can be revelations about a personal project or your feelings for someone. Mars moves into harmony with your sign starting on the 27th, and it comes as a nice boost to your energy and motivation levels. |
Capricorn
You can be quite independent and freedom-seeking this month, dear Capricorn. September is an excellent time to focus on nurturing your mind, body, and spirit through activities, courses, cultural events, or connections with people who have different ideas and perspectives. Or, this can be a time for doing more studying, learning, and venturing outside of your regular routine. Your calling, career, life path, and long-term goals take on more importance as the month advances. They’re complicated, but in focus and, ultimately, rewarding. This month, people are appreciating your knowledge and breadth of vision. You are making beneficial connections and finding it easy to take problems in stride. The first few weeks of September are mostly outgoing and forward-focused, although there are some quiet moments, too. You’re motivated to explore, learn, and discover new things. You want to move out of your comfort zone when it comes to learning, thinking, and doing, and while the New Moon on the 10th can bring out opportunities to do so, the days before this lunation are valuable for new ideas and plans. You express yourself with more enthusiasm and faith, and this goes over very well with others. You may feel that someone is encouraging you to be the best version of yourself, and this supportive figure can help stir your enthusiasm and confidence. You are also investing quite a bit into others now, and together, you can accomplish much. You want to feel alive and vital, which you can achieve through relationships. You benefit from the involvement or company of others, even if you are pursuing your own goals. While there is a strong theme of spirit, learning, and exploration this month, you have Venus at the top of your solar chart until the 10th, and then Mercury and the Sun in this career- and image-oriented sector from the 10th and 22nd, respectively. As such, career, public life, responsibilities, obligations, long-term goals, and direction are all strong themes for you in September. With Venus here, you are pulling in desirable attention, and you may receive some nice offers or recognition. It’s a time for catching some breaks. If your reputation could use a boost, this is a good time to do some PR or get closer to bosses, parents, and the like. Your love life may be more public than usual, or you may be drawing on your people skills more than usual in your work. Venus then journeys through your social sector from the 10th forward, enhancing your personal appeal and supporting your connections with friends or groups. You might be giving and taking more space in your relationships, or you feel freer to explore and discover on a social level. You may feel a nice sense of support from the people in your life. You're more likely to attract friends and others who share your interests right now. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 10th, and you might examine or even reconsider recent changes related to your daily routines, work, and health. These areas of life are often up and down, and looking inward for answers makes sense during this phase until February 8th. Ultimately, you seek more truth in your work or services, and this retrograde cycle helps you detach enough to see where you can make the most meaningful changes. The aim is to help your “future self” deal with unpredictability and change more effectively. The month becomes more goal-oriented when Mercury first arrives on the 10th, and then the Sun on the 22nd makes it to the top of your solar chart. These influences give you more visibility, but they also encourage your ambitious side to emerge. Mind you, home and family require more of your wholehearted attention around the Full Moon on the 26th. This Full Moon calls you to recognize your needs for nurture, safety, and comfort. You’re challenged to balance your attention to your outer and inner worlds, home and family, or public and private life. A matter can release or culminate, and it’s healing and helpful. As much as you’re gunning for worldly or career goals and success right now, interruptions may come up around household or family responsibilities, restructuring, or personal reservations and fears of exposure or risk. This is a time for examining whether you’re being practical or self-limiting. If you’ve been neglecting specific responsibilities, you’ll feel relieved to deal with them now. You may very well find that you wasted too much energy dreading something much easier than you’d imagined! A better work-home balance seems more doable. The next day, Mars moves into your solar eighth house, releasing its direct pressure on your sign that’s been in effect since August 11th. You're now in a good position to sort out issues related to sharing and power dynamics in relationships, and to explore your deeper desires as well. Changes are on the horizon, which can include improvement in a friendship, group endeavor, or community project. |
Aquarius
An emphasis on your intimacy sector in September is an introspective influence, dear Aquarius. People in your life are generous with their time and energy. If you need a fresh start in an intimate relationship or with financial matters, this is a time to begin anew. You may find novel ways to make better use of resources that you’ve had for some time, putting them to work for you. As you pursue more meaningful or absorbing experiences, some endeavors are likely to fall by the wayside. You’re in good shape for focused attention on special projects and relationships this month. This is a time of year when you crave a little more from life, or when you rid yourself of a bad habit or attitude and gain more personal power and a stronger sense of accomplishment. You’re likely to get to the bottom of a complex matter, especially with the boost from the New Moon on the 10th. As the month advances, you’ll find more and more reason to get out and about, diversify, explore, and discover. You might act on an impulse or enjoy some healthy competition or ambition. You’re ready to make changes, solve problems, and get things done, and it feels good. It’s time to put extra pep into lifeless routines, chores, or duties. You might also benefit significantly from investigation or research. Your schedule may feel demanding, but you seem to thrive on this kind of energy right now. You’re motivated to do your best, excel, and advance. Still, Venus continues its transit through your solar ninth house until the 10th, encouraging a more active or carefree expression of your feelings. You’re more inclined to make beneficial connections in places of learning or while venturing beyond your usual routine. You’re exceptionally able to magnetize positive things your way on a professional level from the 10th onward. But while you can be in the spotlight in key ways, what you’re managing behind the scenes is making a significant impact on your success. You’re inspired to do your best or to reach a little higher, and it feels good to do so. Venus here boosts your charm in professional or public dealings, as well as your pleasure levels. You might take more interest in the image you are projecting to others. Your helpfulness and kindness seem to come shining through on the job or with superiors at this time. Uranus begins its five-month retrograde phase this month. This wayward, inventive planet has encouraged you to express yourself more authentically and creatively during its transit of your sector of joy. While it's retrograde until February 8th, you’re inclined to slow down with these changes. Life is less about spontaneously reacting and more about considering which reforms are best for you in the long run. Creative projects or even relationships, especially those begun on a whim, can benefit from some review and refinement. Mercury and then the Sun enter your spirit sector on the 10th and the 22nd, pulling you out of your shell, as you crave a little more experience or connection. You’re a bit more spontaneous now. This can be a good time for further studies or getaways, although there can be a whirlwind of activity around the 26th thanks to the energy of a Full Moon in your communications sector, and you’ll need to pace yourself. This Full Moon encourages making connections. It can be a time of revelation or epiphany regarding learning, transportation, connecting, or communications. This can be an exceptionally busy time when you need to take care of important errands or tie up loose ends. It’s a powerful time for understanding and a wide-open mind. Your true feelings on a matter can overcome you, and while your emotions might surprise you, they also get you into a better position to make choices and decisions. You’ll enjoy some beautiful opportunities to learn new things and make real progress on your projects once you clear up some ambiguity. Mars moves into your partnership zone on the 27th, meaning that Mars is also opposing your sign and you can sometimes feel challenged. This transit, lasting until November 25th, brings animation to your life through others, and especially partnerships. Clashes are possible, but so are resolutions to long-standing issues. Perhaps a relationship or person motivates you to pursue a particular goal. You can be in the mood to learn, teach, or expand your understanding of a matter in the last week of the month. It can be a time to put your talents to use or even show them off a little. You might express yourself creatively and push yourself beyond fear for beautiful results. It feels great to detach yourself just enough to enjoy yourself more fully. |
Pisces
September is a gentler month for you, dear Pisces. This month, your relationships, companionability, and intimacy take center stage. Collaboration and cooperation are in focus. You are likely to attract intelligent or interesting people into your experience. Your interactions with others hold tremendous potential for fresh ideas and new ways of thinking. There can be a lot of activity related to your social life or partnerships now, and while this can be quite positive overall. More often than usual, you may be allowing others to lead the talks. September finds you at your most accommodating and attentive. Sharp focus is on your social life and/or a significant relationship. In truth, others may demand much of your time and energy, but for the most part, your involvement is rewarding. Until the 10th, your feelings are going through a regeneration of sorts. This is one of the better periods of the year for attracting the support you need, either material or emotional. It’s also a good time to get the most out of others’ talents and resources. Feelings of love and attachment can be intensified. While other themes in your life point to a generally more outgoing period of the year for you, this Venus transit suggests some introversion or a tendency to enjoy private time in the first ten days of the month. It also implies that you’re taking things to heart more than you show. Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 10th. During its long-term transit of your solar fourth house, Uranus brings some innovative but also up-in-the-air elements to your home or personal life. With Uranus retrograde until February 8th, it can be a time to catch your breath and examine what you need and want along these lines. Your attitude toward security, dependence, attachment to the past, and family or domestic life continues to evolve, and the goal now might be to recognize and adjust your responses to the world so changes feel less random. With a slower pace, you have a better chance of understanding what’s going on around and inside you. The New Moon on the 10th can push for a new beginning on the relationship front. If you need a fresh start, this is a time to begin anew. Regarding your closest alliances, whether it’s about reconciliation, fixing problems, enhancing a partnership, or attracting a new relationship, the cosmos are lending a helping hand. While September isn't the most energetic period of the year for you (and this is often the case), you may feel remarkably revitalized by the company, support, or generosity of others. From the 10th as well, Venus transits in harmony to your sign as it journeys through your adventure sector, boosting your appeal and courage to enjoy new experiences. This is a nice transit that also stirs a love of learning and encourages you to explore some of your more unusual tastes and interests. You might enjoy a vital creative or romantic connection and a confidence boost, especially around mid-month when the Sun and Mars harmonize. Cooperation is key right now, but some playful competitiveness also works and may nudge you to do your best. Your feelings and connections are spicier. You are ready to put yourself out there, and your natural charm is incredibly endearing. You crave activities where you can create, compete, or play, and you can be excited to take the lead in a relationship, romance, recreational activity, or hobby. Instead, you want to move forward in these areas. A relationship may be a powerful motivator to better yourself or do your best. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into your solar eighth house, and you can learn much from observation and reflection. A Full Moon occurs on the 26th, and you can have an epiphany regarding your needs and wants. This Full Moon can help clarify certain decisions or a path to take. Whether you’ve been ignoring your need to pamper yourself or you’ve been overdoing it recently, it’s time to balance the scales. Blockages related to money or business, and maybe a stronger need for security and safety, can temporarily disrupt the equilibrium or your enjoyment of a relationship. It’s a good time to bring a problem into the light so that you can finally resolve it and put it behind you. Finances are improving this month, in fact, and this Full Moon might bring a vital conclusion or result. In the last week of the month, you're more likely to tune into your motivations and desires. Opportunities for setting things right with money or with the deeper dynamics in a relationship can emerge. There can be pleasant surprises related to home and family, and problem-solving about emotional or domestic matters can be in focus and positive. There can be satisfying progress on a family or home-related matter. Matters of the heart can thrive, and it’s a good idea to take the time to enjoy the vibes. You are well-positioned to explore new approaches to old problems and family relationships. You might become inspired to redecorate or change things up with nice results. As well, Mars heads into your work and health sector on the 27th, and you have more energy to pursue your work, routines, and health pursuits. |
