Your Monthly Horoscope
Astrology Basics:
At the moment you were born, the planets, the moon, the sun, and the star constellations that are the 12 signs of the Zodiac, were all in a specific place (whether it was daylight or night!). The same force (type of gravity) that holds the planets in their orbit around the sun, and which holds all the stars in their specific locations in our galaxy, effects you here on earth. The combined forces from all those bodies in the universe effect each of us on the earth in a very real and significant way. All of those forces also effect each other, depending on the angle at which they meet and depending upon the way that the qualities of each universal body interact with the other, which then effects you in a particular way.
The way these forces are aligned with each other, and their nearness to you at the moment of your birth, determine what your basic personality is like – the framework of who you are, by which everything else you experience after that moment will be measured. These forces determine how you will be inclined to perceive your world and react to your world, in other words they determine the framework of your personality.
You still have absolute free will, given to you by the Creator, so you can be whoever you want to be. Astrology helps you see and understand your basic personality makeup, so that you can use that information to see and experience your hidden talents, see what motivates you in order to use that knowledge to lead you to fulfillment, and see how to overcome whatever weakness or self-doubt you may have.
Horoscope for September 2026
You’ll get a more accurate horoscope if you read your Rising sign, and your Moon sign, as well as your Sun sign. Here’s how
Your Sun sign represents your Self, your way of being in the world. It can represent both the ego (mental) self and the higher Self (soul purpose). It symbolizes your will and sense of vitality. Your Sun sign horoscope will tell you what these areas of your self will encounter this month.
Your Rising sign represents your outer mask, the self you show to others. It symbolizes how you appear to others, how others perceive you, in your true interaction with the world. Your Rising sign horoscope will tell you what to expect in these areas of your self this month.
Your Moon sign symbolizes your personal self, your feelings, your subconscious. It represents how you relate to others, how you have nurturing relationships with others, your intuition, your spiritual self, your sense of security, and your habits. The Moon symbolizes your feminine, nurturing side (we all have one). The Moon also indicates the type of partner you will attract, since it represents your emotional self. Your Moon sign horoscope will show you what these areas of your self will encounter this month.
The beat goes on, Aries, as far as the transformational intensity of these fraught times is concerned. The previous couple of months have been supercharged, so that you might be engaged currently in trying to pick up the pieces. The changes in how you see your role in friendships and in social settings make for one major theme, corresponding to Pluto residing in this chart sector, along with the extreme activation of all three of the outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in the recent eclipses of August, including in particular the recent Lunar Eclipse just days before the current month began. This also implicates Neptune in your sign, strong throughout this month, which brings a transpersonal perspective that is essentially mystical in its effects, in whatever way you might seek to define that. There is also with emphasized Neptune a potential for misinterpretation, over-idealism, or the fantasy of self-deception. The transformational impact of Pluto is also continuous throughout September as it is additionally featured in the Virgo New Moon of the 10th. This New Moon, located in your sector of day-to-day activities and habit patterns, implies that there could be a minor revolution taking place in this area. It is possible as the month continues to unfold that you will find a way to slough off those habitual behaviors that are no longer serving you in your present state of evolution and nascent authenticity. In this developmental progress, existing or potential partners continue to be of utmost importance. This is signaled by highlighted Venus, your relationship sector ruler, in the rather potent New Moon of the 10th and for the weeks that follow. It is your own purely personal values that are changing in concert with important others. The perspective of key partners, in supplement to your own, becomes an even more major factor this month as you evolve.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
The busyness of home life could motivate you to get more organized with work and daily responsibilities as Mars sextiles Mercury. You may feel driven to tackle practical tasks or have conversations that help things run more smoothly. Mars square Saturn could make family responsibilities feel restrictive, while his connection to Jupiter may bring a desire to make more room for creativity, romance, or fun. Balancing what needs to get done with what brings you joy could be the challenge.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus moving through your hidden eighth sector of emotional and financial entanglement may draw you toward deeper intimacy and greater exchange with others. Because Venus is opposing Chiron in your second sector of money, self-worth, and personal resources, however, insecurities around what you value about yourself can come up. You could perhaps feel caught between wanting to merge with someone and maintaining your own values.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon falls in your sixth sector of day-to-day labors, routines, and health. Therefore, this refreshing lunar phase could have you taking a closer look at the systems, habits, and tasks that keep you and your everyday life running – along with noticing how much other people factor into all this! Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, is in your seventh sector of one-on-one relationships, which could also put conversations with others at the center of how you approach these changes. Because Mercury rules this New Moon and opposes Neptune, you could find yourself unsure about what you want to adjust. You may be trying to make decisions that keep everyone happy while also figuring out what would genuinely make your life feel better, and that tension could make it difficult to know which direction to take. Mercury’s precise semi-sextile to Venus in Scorpio additionally adds a quieter tension to this process, as your desire to keep things fair and agreeable may rub against a deeper feeling you can’t quite reason away. Something emotionally significant could sit beneath the surface of an otherwise pleasant relationship connection, encouraging you to acknowledge what you really feel rather than simply choosing what keeps everyone else happy. Mercury’s trine to Uranus and Pluto is transformational in nature and offers a new way through, potentially bringing fresh perspective or deeper realization that helps clarify what really needs attention. With Uranus recently retrograde, this shift could begin internally, changing how you think about something before you know what to do with it externally. The New Moon’s sextile to Mars, your ruler, in your root sector is another factor here that could help you take action from a deeper place, motivating practical adjustments to help you feel more secure.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
You may find yourself second-guessing what you want from a relationship as Mercury in your seventh sector of partnership opposes Neptune in your first sector of self. Conversations or exchanges with others could become difficult to interpret when you’re uncertain about your own perspective, making it harder to know whether you’re compromising or simply losing sight of what you want. Pluto in your eleventh sector could help you uncover deeper motivations within friendships or collaborations, though some revelations may expose uncomfortable power dynamics.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
A fresh perspective on relationships could arrive as Mercury trines Uranus, potentially bringing on unexpected conversations or surprising developments. You might suddenly understand a partnership differently or feel ready to communicate in a more unconventional way. Uranus can also shake up your usual relationship patterns, which can catch you off guard, even if it ultimately gives you more freedom.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Conversations and interactions with others could make you think more seriously about yourself as Mercury opposes Saturn. Someone’s words or opinions might bring self-doubt or self-criticism to the surface, potentially making you hesitate before speaking or acting. A reality check within a relationship could encourage you to slow down, think through your response, and become more thoughtful about how much weight you give to other people’s opinions.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Conversations with a partner could feel more open and uplifting as Mercury sextiles Jupiter, making it easier to discuss what you both want. You might find that spending time exchanging ideas with others in general leads to more laughter, affection, or enthusiasm, while someone’s encouragement could also inspire you to pursue something that brings you joy! This could be a lovely time to reconnect through shared interests or simply enjoy each other’s company.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
The Sun entering Libra brings your seventh sector of partnership, relating, and others into focus. You may become more conscious of the balance present or lacking within your relationships, while harmony and cooperation are likely to become more important to you. This could be a good season for smoothing over disagreements or simply becoming more aware of what you need from the people you share your life with.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
A relationship or interaction could make you question whether you’re seeing yourself clearly as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might feel less certain about what you want from someone else, but you could also feel unusually compassionate toward them or see them through an idealized lens. As you focus more closely on relating and connecting with others, power dynamics within your friendships, collaborations, or wider network could become impossible to ignore. Pluto’s close aspect may intensify your awareness of who has influence within your connections and what you want from them.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in your sign could bring a heightened awareness of yourself and your needs, particularly around the life direction you want to take. It could illuminate questions around identity or independence, perhaps even prompting you to consider a new venture, while also leaving you feeling especially emotionally receptive. With Neptune so closely conjunct the Moon, you could feel somewhat emotionally disoriented or unusually compassionate, with subtle feelings and impressions carrying more weight than usual. The Full Moon’s ruler, and yours, Mars, lies in Cancer, in your fourth sector of your emotional world and childhood memories, reinforcing this emotional quality. Mars could have you responding in an especially defensive or protective way to something that stirs old feelings or deeply rooted needs. Mars’ square to Chiron, which now lies in your first sector, could expose a tender spot around asserting yourself or feeling secure in your sense of self. A highlighted Saturn, also in your sign, may allow you to begin to recognize a more sobering reality within all of this. Questions of maturity, responsibility, time, or what you can realistically sustain could be harder to ignore. As you confront what this moment is asking of you, what initially feels nebulous or difficult to define may begin taking on clearer boundaries. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon are positively aspecting both Uranus and Pluto, giving this emotionally charged Full Moon a transformative connection and leaving room for movement and perspective. The Sun in your seventh sector of partners could highlight how relationships are a part of your emotional experience now, while Uranus in your third sector of communication could bring an unexpected development or shift in your thinking. Pluto in your eleventh sector of friendships and wider networks could intensify ongoing changes within those connections.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Mars is your ruler, so his move into Leo puts creative expression, pleasure, and matters of the heart at the forefront of your life! This supportive trine to Aries can give you the confidence to take bold creative risks, start dating, or spend more time doing activities that light you up! You could also cut ties with stale romantic connections in favor of something more exciting. Exercise and competition can be especially invigorating, though friction with lovers or children is possible.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Mercury now in Scorpio may bring more thought and conversation around intimacy, trust, shared finances, and emotional entanglements. You could find yourself thinking deeply about vulnerability, power dynamics, or what is left unsaid in close relationships. Financial contracts or negotiations could also come into play, particularly where money or resources are shared. Being more curious about what’s going on beneath the surface would be natural!
This is another active month for you, Taurus, with plenty of transformational pressures continuing to affect your vocational choices and with a strong New Moon arriving on September 10th featuring Venus, your ruler, at the very beginning of your opposite sign of Scorpio, therefore indicating the potency of key relationships in your life to become an important factor in your current changes. The significant outer planet patterns that have recently been featured in the astrological weather remain in potent configuration, especially Pluto and Neptune, in major coordination with Venus, as the month continues to unfold. Thinking about what these indications imply, there is the continuing presence of major outer planet forces in highlighted positions for your solar chart. This implies that the transformative situation that has recently been so much a part of who you are and where you’re headed, along with how you are feeling about career and professional life, might be coming to a further head over this September month. When the Virgo New Moon arrives on the 10th, with Venus lying at 0° Scorpio, it is worth mentioning that the burst of energy associated with the New Moon lunation includes a good dose of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, at 0° of your sign, which might bring up long-buried inner complexes – the unprocessed residue of childhood trauma. This will be a decided plus for you if you can use whatever arises to make powerful progress with these hidden wounds, likely with the aid of key partners. Although this is all a bit radical, as these recent times have indeed been, this is not a cause for alarm but rather might be considered as a request from the universe for greater flexibility in perceiving your role, perhaps one that takes the unseen and the mystical more comprehensively into account. Sometimes what can feel daunting at the outset can in the end feel empowering, depending on the amalgam of circumstances plus your response. Pluto, and also Neptune, can be tough to argue with, yet these “ambassadors from the galaxy,” as 20th century humanistic astrologer Dane Rudhyar was fond of calling them, can be terrific sponsors for your accepting the simple fact of “what is!”
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Mars moving through your mental and social third sector of communication and local community could motivate you to speak up, make plans, or tackle a new subject as he sextiles Mercury. With Mercury in your fifth sector of self-expression and joy, your thoughts could turn toward a creative project or you may find pleasure in chatting with a romantic interest around the corner. Mars’ connection to Saturn could slow you down, and also provide internal lessons, while his aspect to Jupiter could expand your urge to bring family into this, or just to be more reclusive at home.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus moving through your seventh sector of partnership and one-on-one relationships could draw you toward greater connection, affection, or cooperation with others. While opposing Chiron in your first sector of self, insecurities around how you see yourself and who you identify with could come up. You might feel torn between wanting closeness and feeling the need to protect your individuality. This transit could easily highlight where another person’s attention or approval has become tied to your confidence in yourself.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
This New Moon in Virgo lands in your joyous fifth sector of creativity, self-expression, and pleasure, inviting you to make room for something that brings enjoyment into your life. Yet because Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, has just entered Libra in your sixth sector of work and service, you may find that pursuing what you enjoy depends partly on how you manage the practical demands of your life. Mercury opposing Neptune in your twelfth sector of the unconscious could make it harder to tell whether you need more structure or simply more space to rest and recharge. Venus, your ruler, newly in Scorpio in your seventh sector of one-on-one relationships, could bring an impactful emotional undercurrent to your closest connections, with stronger desires, deeper vulnerability, or a heightened awareness of what you truly want from another person. Its uneasy connection with Mercury could make it harder to neatly separate these deeper feelings from the practical choices you’re trying to make. Meanwhile, Mercury’s trine to Pluto and Uranus connects this new beginning to changes in your professional direction and possible new ideas in values, earning capacity, or state of self-worth. Pluto could also intensify your desire to have greater control over where your career is headed, while Uranus could bring an unexpected realization to this quest, or for your material circumstances. You may begin to see how practical adjustments could create more freedom to pursue what genuinely excites you. The Sun and Moon’s sextile to Mars in your third sector of mental activity and immediate surroundings could help you act on instinct, perhaps giving you the momentum to make decisions or handle the practical matters that move these areas forward. With Pluto and Venus both in prominent sectors, there is an important transformational process tied to your relationships; changing tides in your public direction could also have an especially powerful influence on what this New Moon sets in motion.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
You may find it harder to stay productive when Mercury in your sixth sector of work and physical wellbeing opposes Neptune in your hidden twelfth sector. Unconscious thoughts, poor sleep, or simply feeling drained could interfere with efficiency, while confusing conversations or unclear agreements at work may add to the mental fog. Pluto in your tenth sector brings career and authority into the picture, potentially revealing hidden pressures or power struggles that are contributing to the situation.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
Your approach to work or wellbeing could benefit from a bit of change as Mercury trines Uranus. An unexpected idea might help you work more efficiently or break out of a routine that has become stale. You could also receive surprising information about money or resources that changes how you approach your daily responsibilities. Uranus can be destabilizing, though, so plans may shift without much warning.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Practical concerns could weigh on your mind as Mercury opposes Saturn, especially when daily responsibilities bring hidden worries or limitations to the surface. You might feel mentally drained by routines that leave little room to recover, while work or health matters could remind you that some habits are no longer sustainable. Slowing down may help you take a more realistic look at what your body and schedule can handle.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in your sixth sector of regular to-dos and routines in sextile with Jupiter in your fourth sector of emotional roots and private life could make it easier to discuss growth-oriented changes that would improve your daily life with family or domestically. You may find that these conversations help you identify changes at home that make your responsibilities feel lighter or simply create a better environment for getting things done.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
The Sun entering Libra brings your sixth sector of daily work and physical wellbeing into focus. You may become more aware of how your working conditions affect your physical wellbeing, especially if your current workload has become difficult to sustain. Libra encourages you to find a better rhythm between getting things done and taking care of yourself, while also bringing attention to the systems and habits that make your life run smoothly.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
The Sun, in your sixth sector of labor, service, and your physical wellness, is now opposing Neptune. This tension could make it harder to be certain about how many tasks you can realistically take on. You may idealize a healthier or more productive version of your life while underestimating what it takes to sustain it! Additionally, the Sun is trine Pluto in your tenth sector of vocation and recognition – and this could reflect a growing awareness of what needs to change professionally, potentially bringing power, control, or your raw ambition into sharper focus as you reconsider your career direction.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries falls within your twelfth sector of unconscious thoughts, inner work, and retreat, potentially bringing a culmination or realization around deeper psychic patterns that have been operating outside of your awareness. With the Moon closely conjuncting Neptune, there is a decidedly mystical turn to these realizations, and your emotions, impressions, and subtle mental patterns could feel perhaps difficult to pin down. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, in Cancer, sits in your third sector of conscious thought, information, and pattern-finding, pulling these less conscious tendencies into your everyday thinking. Mars is additionally square Chiron, newly in your twelfth sector, which could make certain realizations about your own thought patterns uncomfortable or expose a particularly sensitive area around self-sabotage. You may catch yourself noticing a recurring mental habit that has been difficult to see while you were inside of it. This could be mentally challenging, and yet it may also give you an opportunity to interrupt a habit that has been running on autopilot. As Saturn is also highlighted in your twelfth sector, some of what emerges may require practical commitment or a more sober response. Saturn can ask you to acknowledge what is realistic, sustainable, or necessary rather than relying on wishful thinking. What initially feels emotionally nebulous could gradually require you to establish firmer boundaries around what you allow to consume your mental energy. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon are both in flowing aspect with Pluto and Uranus, in Aquarius and Gemini, connecting your private process to much more evident changes around your vocation, resources, or sense of self-worth. Pluto could push you to reconsider your ambitions and the direction of your career, while Uranus could coincide with a shake-up around your principles, resources, or earning capacity. This Full Moon could reveal how changes in your mental patterns are connected to more fundamental shifts in what you want to build and what you believe you can sustain.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Mars in Leo brings heat and urgency to your private and domestic life, potentially intensifying family dynamics. Conflicts could ensue, although you might also find yourself taking charge of household matters, making changes to your living situation, or finally addressing an emotional issue you’ve been tolerating. Confronting a family member may be necessary, particularly if frustrations have been building, so watch for impatience and unnecessary escalation.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Mercury newly in Scorpio may indicate that you are ready to be more social and interested in what others have to say. In bringing more conversation into your relationships, you could find yourself discussing expectations, making plans, or getting to the real meat of an issue with a partner. Contracts or negotiations may also come into play. Scorpio’s intensity can make conversations more revealing, and you may be less interested in small talk than in getting to the heart of what really matters.
This is a very special month, Gemini, of inspiration, inner knowing, and eventual educational frustration. You are going from a previous lunation cycle of novel situations and surprise sudden enlightenment (due to prominent Uranus) which covers also the September month’s first ten days, to a much more potentially painful set of inputs surrounding the Virgo New Moon of September 10th. These also however provide much-needed lessons as you switch your footing to deal with them. That life has its ups and downs need not be an unpleasant or particularly surprising idea, especially if you can remember that while the good times bring the most pleasant memories, the difficult ones beneficially bring the longest-lasting lessons; we are here on this beleaguered planet – why? Well, ultimately, to learn. The position of Mercury, your ruler, in the September 10th Virgo New Moon – which itself is angular to your sign – is telling. This potent lunation features Mercury at 0° Libra, or your self-expression sector, in partile or same-degree inconjunct (quincunx) with Chiron at 0° Taurus, with both ruled by Venus. The relationship planet is thus prominent in this dramatic New Moon, and found at 0° Scorpio, precisely opposed to Chiron; and the Wounded Healer is additionally located in your twelfth solar sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work. Taken on the difficult side, this could result in inner complexes coming to light, perhaps in ways that important others in your life help to uncover. Buried anger, for one example, may have the tendency to explode, and – in the happiest of outcomes – to remind you that you are never angry for the reason that you think you are. This latter notion is the key which your accelerated understanding has the chance to turn in the lock of these repressed emotions that need so desperately to constructively come to the surface of your more conscious attention. This represents the upside of these potentially disturbing events and realizations that you might be in the process of more fully exploring as the second two-thirds of the September month continues to unfold.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspecting Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Mars in your second sector of personal resources, values, and worth is sextile Mercury, your ruler, in Virgo, which could help you make well-thought-out and practical decisions that strengthen your sense of security. A conversation about what you truly care about or what makes you feel safe with a family member or domestic partner might help get things moving. Mars also aspects Jupiter, potentially amplifying an idea or piece of information in a way that could make you overestimate your options or take something further than necessary. You will want to be aware that Saturn’s aspect to Mars could then expose frustrations to be dealt with around friendships, social expectations, or long-term goals.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus moving through your sixth sector of daily labor and service may bring more pleasure to the work you do or the practical ways you support others. While opposing Chiron in your twelfth sector of solitude and restriction, insecurities around productivity or whether you’re doing enough could come up. You might feel torn between meeting daily demands and giving yourself permission to step back. This transit could highlight where guilt has made rest feel undeserved.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The New Moon in Virgo falls in your fourth sector of home, family, and psychological roots, inviting a fresh beginning into your domestic life, or perhaps a new emotional journey is in store for you. With Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, in your fifth sector of personal expression, romantic connections, and pleasure, what you want to enjoy or create could become part of the changes taking shape at home. You may feel drawn to make your personal space more entertaining or in support of what brings you happiness. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune brings a spiritual dimension into this and could make things fuzzier, or harder to understand. You might feel pulled between following what momentarily excites you and staying focused on larger goals, or between your own desires and the expectations of friends or your wider community. You may not be sure whether you’re making room for joy or simply getting distracted from what you ultimately want. Mercury’s trine to Uranus and Pluto could additionally offer some novel and different perspectives, perhaps including surprising realizations about yourself; transformational Pluto in your sector of beliefs and worldview fosters ongoing changes there while drawing you toward a deeper understanding of your beliefs or life direction. The Sun and Moon being in sextile to Mars implies you could put these priorities into action, perhaps reinforcing your sense of value and self-worth. Mercury’s connection with Venus adds another layer, as the relationship planet newly entered into Scorpio and square Pluto could morph stronger feelings around work and day-to-day responsibilities into decisions about what you truly want for yourself going forward.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Your creative ideas or heart’s desires could become more difficult to trust as Mercury in your fifth sector opposes Neptune in your eleventh sector of friends and long-term objectives. The opinions of others could blur your sense of what you actually want to express and experience, especially when your social circle has strong expectations about your future. The trine from Mercury to Pluto could give your mind greater depth, helping you question assumptions and uncover a perspective that changes how you understand the situation.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
Your creative thinking could become especially inventive as Mercury trines Uranus, bringing unexpected ideas, exciting conversations, or a desire to express yourself differently. You could also be temporarily less interested in following familiar expectations around pleasure or romance! If you have children, you may notice they become curious about new topics!
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Your thoughts around creativity and pleasure could become more serious as Mercury opposes Saturn, especially when long-term goals or the realities of your social world start competing with what brings you joy. A difficult conversation with a friend could dampen your enthusiasm, or responsibilities connected to your future may make it harder to relax. This could encourage a more mature understanding of what genuinely makes you happy.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury is sextile Jupiter and this could bring an especially joyful flow of creativity, romance, and playful communication! You might find yourself laughing more, feeling inspired, or connecting with others through shared interests. Because Mercury is your ruling planet, this could be an especially optimistic and expansive moment for you, leaving you feeling more willing to self-express and be open to enjoyment.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
A desire to have more fun could take over as the Sun enters your fifth sector of romance, creativity, and pleasure! You may feel drawn toward dating, entertainment, or pursuing something that brings out your playful side. The Sun in Libra encourages you to share those experiences with others, while this placement also can bring greater confidence around expressing yourself. This could be a lovely season for remembering that life isn’t only about responsibilities!
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Your romantic or creative life could feel harder to define as the Sun opposes Neptune, particularly if your friendships or wider social world are overly influencing what you want. You might idealize a friend or community or feel uncertain about whether something you’re pursuing for pleasure is actually what you want. As you focus on these desires, Pluto could intensify your urge to expand your worldview, pursue deeper knowledge, or experience something beyond the familiar.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Aries Full Moon that lands in your eleventh, or social, sector could bring a culmination, emotional reveal, or important development around your hopes for the future, your friendships, or a larger project you’re building with others. With highlighted Saturn in this same sector, however, things could become harder to trust or define, leaving you questioning whether a particular dream is actually attainable. Saturn often slows you down to allow the lessons to sink in. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, in your second sector of personal value, resources and income, ties these developments to questions about what you’re willing to invest – financially or otherwise. Mars’ square to Chiron could also expose a tender spot around belonging, collaboration, or whether you feel valued by the people you’re working alongside. This potent configuration could also imply you have a chance to recognize what you actually need from these connections so that you can be empowered to make choices that feel more supportive of your own priorities. The Sun trines Pluto and also Uranus in your sign, and this grand trine could offer an opening for meaningful changes to begin to take place in how you see yourself or your life direction. Highlighted Uranus in your sign could coincide with a liberating shift in how you see yourself, while Pluto may help you consider further changes in a belief, ambition, or larger direction you’ve been pursuing. What comes to a head in this Full Moon could ultimately affect not only what you hope for, but also what you believe may be possible.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Mars in Leo could make your mind more active and bring on the urge to write, seek, learn, and share information more readily. You may be more outspoken and passionate about new curiosities! You could also feel motivated to socialize with your community, get involved locally, or connect more with your neighborhood, though verbal arguments and heated exchanges are possible. Short trips, errands, and daily activities may also pick up speed, leaving you busier and more on the go.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
As Mercury, your ruler, moves through Scorpio, thoughts may center more on work, wellness, and the systems that keep daily life running. You could become more analytical about your schedule, looking for ways to solve problems or make your responsibilities more manageable. Communication with coworkers could increase, and paperwork or contracts tied to work could surface. Research, organization, and careful problem-solving may also become more prominent in your day-to-day life.
This month signals further stages in the transformation of the way that you regard your very identity, Cancer, and especially your vocational aspirations along with your public statement. Last month’s wild lunation cycle, sparked by the solar eclipse New Moon of mid-August, and extending into the first ten days of the current month, brought to bear unexpected leadership qualities within you, based on Mars at 0° of your sign, though debilitated there, with Mars also the ruler of your tenth sector of career and professional life. It might be said as well that members of your sign will often rather nurture the other than fight. Nevertheless, there is that Mars, also in partile or same-degree sextile to Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in Taurus, so that this could have raised the issue of taking your stand, as also supported by highlighted Eris. In other words, you could find that fight you must. Numinous Neptune has also been highlighted right at the Midheaven or vocational point of your chart, so that mystical, or transpersonal, goals might have been enticing you in your career choices more than strictly practical ones. With the advent of another potent New Moon, however, taking place on the evening of September 10th in your sector of communication and learning, this mystical side of things does retreat somewhat. In this dynamic New Moon, Mars in your sign is featured by a close sextile from Sun and Moon, so that your initiating energy is again engaged. We find also prominent Saturn, rather than Neptune, indicating that the grounding influence of the here-and-now earthly situation has become your guidepost as you weigh changes in your activities in general. Saturn slows things down, which could bring up a bit of frustration, and yet the ultimate reward of the entire September period will be in the lessons learned, so that you do well to stay as open as possible to whatever it is that decides to transpire.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
You may feel more motivated to tackle everyday tasks and communicate more directly as Mars sextiles Mercury, giving you momentum to handle errands or make decisions. Mars square Saturn could make career responsibilities feel like a constraint on your personal freedom, while his connection to Jupiter may encourage you to think about how greater financial security could give you more independence. Balancing personal freedom with professional obligations could be the challenge.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus brings a particularly sweet influence to your fifth sector of romance, pleasure, and creative expression, making it easier to enjoy yourself and follow what brings you genuine joy. Yet Chiron in your eleventh sector of friendship and belonging may expose sensitivities around whether you feel accepted by the people around you. You might feel pulled between doing what makes your heart happy and worrying about how others perceive it.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon falls in your third sector of communication, local environment, and the way you process your surroundings. Therefore, this refreshing lunar phase could encourage you to reorganize how you communicate, refine the way you approach daily logistics, or make a practical adjustment to something that has been cluttering your mind. The Sun and Moon’s sextile to Mars could give you the initiative to act on those thoughts, with your emotions potentially motivating you to speak up, make a decision, or take action. Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, is in your emotional fourth sector of home and family, possibly making your inner and domestic world an important part of what you’re thinking through. Yet Mercury’s opposition to Neptune could make your professional direction feel less certain, perhaps leaving you wondering whether your public responsibilities reflect what you really want, while also making it harder to know what would give you a stronger sense of emotional security. You might feel more compassionate toward those closest to you or more willing to consider their needs before deciding what comes next. Mercury’s grand air trine with Pluto and Uranus is a transformative aspectual connection that bodes further changes in the way you think things through either consciously or unconsciously. Uranus, freshly retrograde, could make this process anything but predictable. An internal realization might arrive out of nowhere, disrupting an assumption or sending your thoughts off in a completely different direction. Pluto could also intensify psychological shadows around trust or vulnerability. Meanwhile, Mercury in Libra makes a semi-sextile to Venus in Scorpio which could create friction between wanting to keep things light versus feeling pulled toward something more emotionally intense. While you could want to enjoy yourself, pursue romance, or simply have more fun, another part of you knows there is something deeper that needs to be acknowledged. This New Moon could help you find a more honest way to balance having pleasure with emotional truth.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
The busyness of your private life could make it harder to keep up with professional goals as Mercury in your domestic fourth sector opposes Neptune in your tenth sector of achievement. You could also feel mentally pulled between what is happening at home and a career path that feels unclear. The trine from Mercury to Pluto in your eighth sector of intimacy and shared resources could help you get to the bottom of what’s really driving your uncertainty, particularly when emotional attachments or financial ties are involved.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
Your inner world could become unusually active as Mercury trines Uranus, possibly putting new thoughts or ideas into motion around a private emotional concern. An abrupt realization could change the way you understand an old emotional pattern, or it may help you break from something that has been limiting you. Uranus can also stir up restlessness beneath the surface, making it difficult to keep thinking about things in the same old way.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Family conversations or activity within your private life could feel heavier as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when career responsibilities are demanding your attention. You might feel caught between what needs to happen at home and expectations placed on you publicly, making it harder to think clearly about your next step. This tension could encourage you to take a more realistic look at what you can actually carry.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Conversations at home could open up new possibilities as Mercury sextiles Jupiter, particularly around money, security, or what you want to build for yourself. A family discussion might help you see your resources differently, or talking through a practical concern could leave you feeling more supported. This could be a good moment to consider how your private life and financial priorities can work together.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
Home and family matters could take on greater importance as Libra season begins. The Sun illuminates your fourth sector of domestic life and emotional security, making you more conscious of familial dynamics and how they affect you. You may feel motivated to interior decorate or restore peace in your private life with Libra at the helm.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Greater awareness of your emotional and domestic needs could make you question whether your public direction still reflects the life you want as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might feel pulled between familial desires and professional expectations or become more compassionate toward the people depending on you. As you focus on what gives you a sense of belonging, Pluto could intensify questions around shared resources, dependency, or power within important financial arrangements.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
Your public life could feel especially emotionally charged under this Full Moon in Aries. With the Moon in your tenth sector of career and achievement, you may feel more connected to your vocation or particularly sensitive to where your life is headed. The Moon’s close conjunction with Neptune could heighten your intuition around your aspirations, put you in an imaginative mood about where your path could lead, or make your feelings about your public identity more difficult to neatly define. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars in your first sector, makes this culmination especially personal. You could feel more compelled to assert yourself or protect your own interests. Your values are also affected. Mars’ square to Chiron could also expose a tender spot around feeling capable or recognized for what you’re trying to accomplish. As Saturn in your tenth sector is also featured, some of the more serious implications surrounding your public direction could become harder to overlook. You may find yourself considering what you have time for, what you’re ready to commit to, or whether a particular path is sustainable for you long-term. What feels more emotionally fluid at first could gradually require a firmer decision about what you’re willing to take on. Meanwhile, both the Sun and Moon are positively aspecting Uranus and Pluto, potentially connecting this culmination with deeper emotional or psychologically transformational processes. You could experience an unforeseen revelation or find that something you’ve been processing beneath the surface changes how you understand your life direction. Pluto may intensify psychological shadows around trust and vulnerability, allowing room to more fully understand yourself at these deeper levels.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Mars in Leo could put more pressure on your finances, potentially bringing necessary expenses or an urge to spend impulsively. You may become more irritated by income issues, but this is also a useful time to cut out bad spending habits, tighten your budget, and take control of your resources. You might also feel compelled to act on your core values and strengthen your sense of self-worth, while questioning values that no longer resonate.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Intense curiosity could pull you toward creative projects, romance, and hobbies you want to understand on a deeper level, with Mercury in Scorpio giving your mind an investigative and possibly obsessive edge. You could become absorbed in developing a creative idea, while conversations with lovers or children could also be revealing and emotionally deep. The trine to your Ascendant can make it easier to put your feelings into words, and you may gravitate toward subjects that feel mysterious, intimate, or compelling.
This is another consequential month, Leo, as have been so many lately. The recent mid-August Solar Eclipse New Moon in your sign has left its traces, since Leos like yourself were featured. Questions of identity, learning, and life mission are likely still percolating within you, continuing as major themes into the first ten days of the current month. With the Virgo New Moon of September 10th, a complicated planetary pattern arises, with Trickster Uranus in your social sector indicating surprises there, as well as unexpected realizations, so that friendships or group connections that you favor could take off in unexpected directions, while Mercury is also highlighted in your sector of communications, curiosity, and learning, closely aspecting Venus, ruler of your career sector, opposite Chiron, the Wounded Healer, located there, all at 0° of their respective signs. This implies that there are likely to be shifts affecting you to your very core, primarily about how you see your more public roles in life playing out. It could be, for example, that inner complexes will have their unexpected and unprompted say in how you show up in positions of authority, perhaps with you displaying flashes of anger or feelings of being “less than,” or in some way lacking in self-worth. If so, your task is to look beyond the immediate moment, recognizing that the emotion is yours to own and acknowledge, taking an important “step back” from immediate reactivity, with internal probing questions and flexibility toward what you might discover. As well as this sensitivity, there is additionally a strong opportunity for progress in those internal areas that are being brought forward into the light. Your partnerships and your relationship dynamic are still in evolutionary transformational flow. With the Aries Full Moon of the 26th, your developmental evolution toward greater intimacy with partners and self-knowledge in relationship to yourself is even more greatly emphasized. The trick is – as always – to take the high road, and to recognize that there can be a constructive appraisal of everything that is taking place all through this potent September astrology.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Mars in your twelfth sector could have you feeling frustrated without an obvious reason, or perhaps you might notice self-limiting actions could be starting to take place. Thankfully, Mars sextiles Mercury today – allowing you to think about your state of self-worth and values, which may help. Mars’ connection to Saturn could make beliefs or long-term plans also feel more demanding, while its aspect to Jupiter could expand your desire to prioritize yourself, potentially making it harder to ignore your own needs.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus may bring harmony to your fourth sector of home and family, supporting comfort in your living space and a sense of ease in your private life. Yet Chiron in your tenth sector of career and reputation may expose sensitivities around professional recognition or how you’re perceived publicly. You could feel caught between creating a fulfilling private life and meeting expectations around success.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
This New Moon in Virgo falls within your second sector of personal resources, self-worth, and core values, inviting you to start anew around what makes you feel secure and how you might strengthen what you have to rely on. Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, has just entered Libra in your third sector of learning, exchanging information, and your local community – potentially bringing in new ideas or plans about how to begin a new level of self-reliance or even introducing a different way to earn money. Its opposition to Neptune in your ninth sector of new horizons, knowledge, and travel could have you idolizing a new educational venture or a seemingly expansive trip – although the trip could be within you and, also, Neptune can be deceptive. At the same time, Mercury’s trine to both Pluto and Uranus could bring a powerful shift in how you think about your changing relationships and how you envision your long-term goals. Pluto may have the effect of deepening your awareness of underlying desires within a partnership, while Uranus could bring an unforeseen circumstance or realization about what you want for your future. This could help you reconsider where it is truly worth investing your time. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon’s sextile to Mars in your twelfth sector of the unconscious could help you begin to act from a more instinctual place, which could additionally give you the courage to address something that has been simmering inside of you. Venus, having just entered Scorpio, is in your fourth sector of domestic and root psychological world, perhaps drawing your attention toward internal desires or familial dynamics. Her opposition with Chiron in Taurus, relating to your vocational life, plus her connection with Mercury, might have you thinking about self-doubt or inner wounding in relation to what holds you back from being more fully invested career-wise, or perhaps any friction between wanting to make fair, reasonable choices and yet feeling a stronger emotional pull toward what you want from your private personal life.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
You could second-guess what you’re hearing or how you’re interpreting information as Mercury in your mental third sector opposes Neptune in your ninth sector of beliefs and knowledge. You may struggle between evidence or patterns and faith as well. The trine from Mercury to Pluto in your seventh sector of relating could help you read between the lines, revealing deeper motivations within your relationships and giving you a sharper sense of what’s being communicated.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
An interesting conversation could put a new possibility on your radar as Mercury trines Uranus, especially through friends or professional networks. A quick exchange might lead to a collaboration or change your thinking about a future goal! A connection that appears out of nowhere could also end up changing the direction of your long-term plans.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Information, conversations, or logistical matters could become more difficult to navigate as Mercury opposes Saturn, especially when travel, education, or beliefs introduce limitations. You might encounter a delay or reality check that forces you to reconsider a plan, while serious information could make everyday communication feel heavier. Taking your time with the details may help you separate what you know from what you simply hoped would happen.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could bring an optimistic shift in how you think about yourself, as exciting new ideas, uplifting conversations, or new educational opportunities present themselves! You may feel more confident in expressing your perspective on life or playing the role of teacher in some capacity, too.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
A more social and curious tone could enter your everyday life as the Sun moves through Libra and your third sector of community, sharing information, and short trips. Chatting it up and picking up new subjects may become a focus, while Libra encourages you to listen, find common ground, and consider another point of view. You could also enjoy spending time with siblings or exploring places close to home!
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
The Sun in your third sector of short journeys, exchanging information, and your everyday mind is opposing Neptune in your ninth sector of long-distance travel, mastery, and beliefs – potentially reflecting an imbalance between what you’re experiencing and learning in your immediate world and the larger beliefs or ideas you’re forming around them. Simultaneously, Pluto is trine Mercury from your seventh sector of others, suggesting that a powerful person or relationship could influence what you’re learning, communicating, or coming to believe. Someone else’s perspective may even draw you back toward the familiar, prompting you to reconsider what you already know.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries could bring something to a head around a journey you’re taking – literally or intellectually – perhaps marking a turning point in your education or opening you to a perspective you hadn’t previously considered. With Neptune so close to the Moon, you could feel emotionally uncertain about where you’re headed or what this experience means, even as you feel drawn toward a new horizon. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, is in your twelfth sector of isolation, limits, and inner fears. This could make it so your search for what comes next could need to be handled in private, and you may have to face some inner demons in order to get to the new outlook that’s trying to form. Mars’ square to Chiron in your ninth sector could expose a tender spot around your beliefs, faith, or trust in your own direction. You may discover that an old wound has shaped what you believe is possible for you, so that confronting this could be part of what allows a different perspective to emerge. As the Moon moves toward Saturn, the question of where you’re headed may become more serious. Saturn could ask you to define what you are actually willing to commit to, whether that means pursuing an education, planning a long journey, or taking a belief more seriously. What initially feels open-ended may eventually require you to make a more concrete choice about where you want to go. Meanwhile, the Sun in your third sector of communication and your immediate environment is trine Uranus and Pluto, potentially connecting this culmination with important developments in your communal world and in your relationships – which are still transforming. Conversations or social interactions could introduce a new possibility, while a close partner may additionally have a particularly strong influence on how you think about your future. You may find that what you hear from others changes how you understand what comes next.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
With Mars moving through your sign, you could feel more energized, confident, and ready to take action! You could be more assertive, motivated, and willing to go after what you want, making this a powerful time to take initiative and put yourself first. Physical activity can be especially invigorating, although impatience, irritability, and conflicts with others could increase if you’re moving too quickly.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Your thoughts may turn toward fourth-sector areas of family, home, and emotional security, with an intense curiosity about where you come from and what shaped you. You could find yourself digging into your family ancestry, revisiting old childhood memories, or trying to understand current family dynamics. Conversations at home can be emotionally intense or revealing while Scorpio’s influence could make it hard to gloss over uncomfortable subjects or keep certain truths buried.
This is another transformative month for you, Virgo, after the rather wild summer that we have all experienced with its extreme outer planet energies. In September, once again, Trickster Uranus in your vocational sector is activated in a big way with reference to the Sun, now present in your sign, and also Mercury, your planetary ruler. The previous month with its two eclipses and the New Moon Sun in Leo has already brought you a large dose of the surprise events and unexpected realizations of Uranus, which, though perhaps not so good for continuity or stability, could – even so – be seen to be constructive if looked at in the right way. There is a necessary novelty to what can occur under the influence of your Higher Self, which can often come through to you as a deeper sort of intuitional information that leads you beyond pre-existent limitations. This recent Leo lunation cycle completes after the first ten days of the current month. When the New Moon of September 10th kicks off in your sign, the following cycle of improved understanding could prove to be dramatically life enhancing. There is again the potent presence of Uranus to deal with, so that you are entering yet another developmental phase connected with novel realizations. The Sun and Moon at 18° of Virgo are in precise bi-septile to Uranus within a tenth of a degree. Uranus combines with Saturn, plus Neptune, and Pluto, as in previous months, and is also aspected by Mars, Jupiter, your ruler Mercury, Venus, and new Nature planets Makemake and Haumea. Because Uranus is located in your career sector, there could be more instances of sudden swerves in the curve for you. These could serve you in revealing new pathways forward in your vocational strivings; or perhaps in providing for what you are habitually up to, new implications of higher purpose.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspecting Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Mars in your eleventh sector of friendship, collaboration, and aspirations is sextile Mercury in your first sector of self, potentially helping you take decisive action around your dreams and the communities that matter to you. You could find success speaking directly within a group or in taking the lead on something that involves others. Mars also aspects Jupiter and Saturn, which could feel joyful and yet challenge you to delve into your fears, compulsions, and self-limiting beliefs.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Your local world may feel especially pleasant under Venus in your third sector of communication and everyday interactions, supporting enjoyable conversations, short trips, or a stronger appreciation for your surroundings. And yet Chiron in your ninth sector of knowledge and expansion may expose insecurities around what you know or believe. You could feel caught between trusting your own perspective and worrying that you don’t know enough, especially when encountering ideas that challenge your worldview.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The New Moon in your sign therefore lands in your first sector of self, potentially inviting you to reconsider how you see yourself and what you want from your life. You may feel ready to show up differently or prioritize yourself in a new way. With Mercury, your ruler, in your second sector of resources, self-worth, and values, you may find yourself reconsidering what gives you confidence and what you need to feel grounded in your own choices. The Sun and Moon’s sextile to Mars in your social sector could give you the push to put yourself out there and take a chance on something you’ve been wanting to pursue. You may find that taking action with friends or groups that you favor, rather than trying to figure everything out on your own, gives this new direction more momentum. Mercury’s powerful opposition to Neptune in your eighth sector of intimacy and depth exploration could complicate this process, particularly if emotional or financial entanglements, grief, or crisis make it difficult to know where your own priorities end and someone else’s begin. Mercury’s semi-sextile to Venus could additionally create friction between what you’re feeling and what you think you need. Mercury’s trine to Uranus and Pluto could seem like a revolution in values in the making. Personal considerations interact with your career sector novelty and sloughing off old habit patterns, perhaps bringing surprising developments or deeper realizations that challenge what you expect from your vocational endeavors.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Financial decisions could become clouded by the emotional ties you have to other people as Mercury, in your second sector of value, money, and self-worth, opposes Neptune in your eighth sector of shared resources and emotional ties. You could question whether you’re making choices based on what genuinely matters to you or what someone else provides for you. The trine from Mercury to Pluto in your sixth sector of work and physical wellbeing could help you uncover how these entanglements are affecting your everyday life.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
A shift in your career or long-term direction could change the way you think about what you value and want for yourself as Mercury trines Uranus. You may begin to see your priorities differently, especially around what gives you a sense of security or what you consider worth having. Uranus can destabilize familiar structures, yet it may also encourage you to develop a more independent sense of what is worth pursuing.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Financial or personal decisions could feel heavier as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when intimacy or shared resources introduce restrictions. You might become more cautious about what you give, receive, or depend on from others, while concerns about security could make an ordinary decision feel more consequential. Taking your time could help you think through what is truly worth committing to rather than reacting to pressure.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury sextiling Jupiter could bring a welcome sense of relief around your resources and personal priorities. You might find that time alone, stepping away from external demands, or working on something privately gives you more room to breathe and makes you feel more secure in yourself. Because Mercury is your ruling planet, this could be an especially easeful time.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
You may take greater pride in what you have and what you’re capable of providing as the Libra Sun moves through your second sector of value, possessions, and self-worth. You might enjoy spending on beautiful things or treating yourself to something you’ve had your eye on, while also thinking about whether your purchases actually reflect what you value.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Your values, self-worth or even your earning capacity could become harder to define as the Sun opposes Neptune, particularly if your financial or emotional entanglements with others are becoming murky. You might even idealize what you have available to you or underestimate what you’re giving to someone else! Plus, Pluto could possibly escalate pressures around work or wellbeing, forcing deeper changes in how you manage your daily life.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries – corresponding to your sector of intimacy and personal evolution – could indicate that something is coming to a head around close partnerships, shared finances, or matters involving your own vulnerability or major transitions. Issues of self and other may predominate. With Neptune closely conjunct the Moon, you could feel emotionally overwhelmed by questions of trust, what you owe or are owed, making it difficult to tell whether you’re responding to reality or to your hidden assumptions. With Neptune as well, there is the possibility of a mystical side to what is being imparted. Saturn is also highlighted in this same sector, signaling that limits, responsibilities, or hard realities surround the relationship situation you are (perhaps mutually) exploring. The Moon’s ruler is Mars, located in your eleventh sector of social networking and long-term goals, and this factor too will be part of the puzzle of your existence that you are perhaps in the midst of at least partially solving. With Chiron, now at the tail end of this same eighth sector, squaring Mars, there could be frustrations with deeper issues around shared finances or psychological baggage that could make it harder to pursue your goals freely. You may have to confront something uncomfortable about what you share with others before you can move forward with the future you’re trying to build for yourself. At the same time, the Sun is in trine to both Uranus and Pluto, thus connecting this Full Moon patterning with work, day-to-day environment, and your career. These are quite practical matters, and yet as you pursue them you may find that otherworldly factors come into play along with the ordinary 3D reality that you must also navigate.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
As Mars moves into Leo, you may find that worries, racing thoughts, or unresolved frustrations become harder to ignore, particularly when you’re alone or away from your usual distractions. At the same time, motivation to reflect, process emotions, or work quietly on something meaningful could increase. Rest and solitude may require more intention now, especially if overstimulation begins catching up with you. Making space to slow down and recharge may be vital and help to prevent unnecessary burnout.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Mercury, your ruler, moves into Scorpio, your third sector of communication and learning, and this could bring curiosity and your articulations, along with your immediate environment, to the forefront. Your mind is likely to be especially sharp and perceptive, making this a great time to research, write, study, or dig into subjects that spark your interest! Conversations might carry more emotional weight than usual, while errands, local outings, and everyday interactions keep you busy. You could become almost obsessive about understanding a subject that fascinates you!
As you may be very willing to acknowledge, Libra, this has been one wild and crazy summer for members of your sign. The recent Solar Eclipse of mid-August featured your ruler, Venus, at 5° of your sign and in close trine with both Uranus and Pluto, which spells for you massive 1960s-like evolution and personal transformation. Change became your new middle name. This dynamic New Moon eclipse also featured Mars, ruler of your relationship sector, in partile or same-degree sextile with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in your sector of intimacy and depth research within yourself. As the current month begins, you could well be continuing to explore issues of relationship inner wounding that may have recently come up, hopefully from the standpoint of eventual acceptance, aiming toward healing these complex issues. The thirty-day lunation cycle from the Solar Eclipse was then accelerated in the timing of the very potent Pisces Lunar Eclipse two weeks later, from just before the September month began, and continues for its first ten days. It is helpful to remember that eclipse energy lasts for six months or more, so that this mighty rocking of your boat continues in the background until past the end of the 2026 year. In this current timeframe, the Virgo New Moon of September 10th is no slouch either, once again featuring your ruler Venus in a potent configuration all its own. Venus in this New Moon lies at 0° of Scorpio, in your second solar sector of values and resources, including financial resources. Venus is partile semi-sextile with Mercury at 0° of your sign, and is also quite dramatically in partile opposition with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, at 0° Taurus. Chiron in this New Moon is also very close in its connection to the continuing basket-like alignments of a stationing Uranus, Neptune in early Aries, opposite Mercury, and Pluto squaring Venus. With both Chiron and Pluto so closely configured in a T-square with Venus, this is a lot of inner wounding facing transformational power in order to initiate further developmental change. What is vital now is your basic faith in the Universe to have your back. You have no choice, perhaps, other than – despite everything – to smile your way through it.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
You may feel driven to make progress publicly or professionally as Mars sextiles Mercury, perhaps thinking strategically about your next move. Mars square Saturn could make a relationship feel more demanding, especially if another person’s expectations compete with your ambitions, while his connection to Jupiter may open doors through friends, networks, or long-term goals. This could be a productive time to turn your plans into something that advances your public life.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
You could experience a financial boost, have fun spending, or simply have enough money to treat yourself with Venus in your second sector! Yet Chiron in your eighth sector of shared finances and deeper dependencies may expose insecurities around relying financially or emotionally on others. You could feel caught between enjoying what’s yours and opening yourself to deeper financial or emotional exchange.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon falls in your twelfth sector of retreat, release, and what happens behind the scenes of your conscious process. This new cycle could encourage you to step back from the general noise of life and pay closer attention to where your inner energy is flowing, perhaps creating space for a quiet way of being more present. Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, lies in your first sector of self, making your own thoughts, decisions, and changing perspective especially important to this new beginning. This placement could make the reset feel deeply personal, as though you are reconsidering what you deeply want and how you’d like to move forward rather than simply responding to what is happening around you. Because Mercury opposes Neptune, certain relationships or a partnership could appear more spiritually connected or in some way make it harder to know what you precisely want for yourself. You also might feel more compassionate toward a key someone or idealize what your relationship could become, perhaps blurring the distinction between your needs and theirs. Mercury in Libra is also semi-sextile to Venus in Scorpio, which adds another layer: you may want to make choices that feel right for you while still being considerate of others, yet Venus could intensify your desire to have more, to feel more valued, or to prove your worth to yourself. Mercury is also in a grand trine with Uranus and Pluto, and this could bring surprising realizations particularly around your personal beliefs or perspective on life. With Uranus newly retrograde, a majorly unexpected shift could start to happen internally, perhaps changing your outlook. Pluto in your fifth sector of happiness and self-expression could intensify the process by revealing something powerfully transformative about what brings you joy, creativity, or desire. The Sun and Moon’s sextile to Mars in Cancer, in your highly prominent tenth sector of public image and role, could perhaps help you act from an instinctual or intuitive place, potentially resulting in the motivation to make a meaningful adjustment to your career direction.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Other people’s opinions or presence in your life could make it harder for you to clearly share your thoughts as Mercury opposes Neptune. It may be difficult to separate your own perspective from what other people think! Although, as Mercury trines Pluto simultaneously this could give you a window into how your personal expression may be ready to change.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
You may change how you think about yourself as Mercury trines Uranus – through a shift in a belief, an educational experience, or a moment where you’re exposed to a different worldview. You might become more willing to question an assumption about who you are or make a quick decision to pursue something outside your usual experience to discover new parts of yourself. Uranus can be destabilizing, but it may also free you from an identity that no longer fits.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Conversations and interactions with others could make you think more seriously about yourself as Mercury opposes Saturn. Someone’s words or opinions might bring self-doubt or self-criticism to the surface, potentially making you hesitate before speaking or acting. A reality check within a relationship could encourage you to slow down, think through your response, and become more thoughtful about how much weight you give to other people’s opinions.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
You may feel more optimistic about your future as Mercury sextiles Jupiter, with conversations and interactions bringing encouragement from friends or your wider community. Someone could offer an idea, connection, or opportunity that expands what you think is possible. You may also find it easier to communicate your goals and discover that other people are more willing to support what you’re trying to create.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Greater awareness of yourself and what you want could make you more sensitive to how a relationship affects you as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might feel deeply compassionate toward someone or idealize a partner, potentially making it harder to maintain a clear sense of your own needs. This heightened focus on your identity could also bring intense changes to your approach to romance, pleasure, or creative expression. Pluto may push you toward a more powerful relationship with what brings you joy.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
Libra season puts the spotlight on you! You may feel more motivated to focus on your appearance, how you want to present yourself to the world and even new ventures to begin. This is also a good time to think about the kind of relationships and experiences you want to attract, while the Libran energy encourages you to create more harmony between who you are and others.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
Under this Aries Full Moon, a relationship could reach a point where you feel compelled to confront what you really need from the connection. With the Moon in your seventh sector of others and partnerships, you may become more aware of where you’ve been compromising, where you need to assert yourself, or what you want to initiate within the relationship. Neptune’s close conjunction could heighten compassion and sensitivity, perhaps making you more receptive to another person’s feelings while also making your own instincts harder to separate from theirs. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, in your tenth sector of career and achievement, could bring your ambitions into the equation. You may feel more protective of your priorities or compelled to take action when someone else’s expectations interfere with what you’re trying to accomplish. Mars’ square to Chiron, which is also in your seventh sector, could touch a sensitive place around asserting yourself without fearing that doing so will disrupt the relationship. With prominent Saturn, you may begin to recognize where a relationship requires greater maturity or clearer boundaries. What began as a strong emotional response could lead you to consider what you are genuinely willing to commit to, and whether the relationship leaves enough room for both people to remain themselves. At the same time, the Sun and Moon are both positively aspecting Uranus and Pluto, potentially giving you new insight into how you relate to others, plus the transformative potential to enact real changes there. You could be ready to disrupt an old belief about partnership or be encouraged to consider a different way of approaching the future. You could come away from this Full Moon with a stronger sense of what you want – and more courage to pursue it.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Your social life could pick up speed as Mars moves through Leo, bringing more activity, invitations, and momentum around friendships and group efforts. You may feel more motivated to pursue long-term goals, collaborate with others, or take a more active role within your community. Excitement around future plans could grow, though competition, strong opinions, or friction within friendships and groups may occasionally create tension.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Your thoughts could become more focused on what you consider truly valuable, perhaps referencing your money, or your earning potential. You could be becoming strategic about your finances – searching for ways to increase your income or making more deliberate choices about where your resources go. Your values could also come under deeper scrutiny, especially if something no longer feels worth your time.
Scorpio Horoscope September 2026
SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21) Water. Ruling Planets Mars, Pluto
This is another very active month for you, Scorpio, especially where your primary relationships are concerned. You are coming out of eclipse season with this already being an important theme, in both the recent mid-August Solar Eclipse, which brought constructive transformation of your own principled values in concert with the point of view of key or prospective partners, and as well with issues of inner wounding, as a result of the prominent eclipse positioning of Chiron directly on your descendant, thus representing a solid influencer in the partnership context. Known as the Wounded Healer, Chiron, when prominent, can represent the residue of long-buried early trauma coming into the harsh light of greater conscious awareness, blinking and rubbing its eyes. Loving acknowledgment of these hidden complexes is the key to progress toward healing them. You have hopefully been making some moves in this direction, to be followed by more. You are also prodded in like manner at the significant juncture of the Lunar Eclipse of August 26th by sudden and perhaps unexpected realizations. The potent lunation cycle from the previous month continues to unfold over the first ten days of this one. With the Virgo New Moon of September 10th, taking place in your twelfth sector of unconscious process, hidden psychic contents, and inner work, this theme continues to unfold into a further stage of your growing awareness. In this dynamic New Moon, your relationship sector ruler, Venus, is at 0° of your sign, and therefore in exact opposition to Chiron, still at 0° of Taurus, both aspecting Mercury at 0° of Libra, lodged at the very beginning of your twelfth sector of unconscious process. If this sounds to you to be a powerful configuration from an astrological perspective – you would be quite correct in this viewpoint. Mars, your traditional ruler, located in your higher mind sector of conscious understanding and evolving worldview, is closely aspected by the Sun and Moon, while Jupiter, the natural ruler of higher mind, is in exact semi-square aspect with this highlighted Mercury. This presages that your native understanding of your own depths could be ever growing over this September monthly cycle, provided you will let it.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Because Mars rules your sign, his sextile to Mercury and square to Saturn could make this beginning of the month especially motivating. Mars is located in your ninth sector of beliefs, philosophical expansion, and knowledge, and could have you pursuing a new perspective or something you want to experience or learn, while Mercury in your eleventh sector turns that energy toward your wishes and goals for the future. Mars’ square to Saturn may make work obligations more restrictive, while the position of Jupiter at the exact midpoint of the Mars–Mercury sextile could expand your ambitions around career and long-term direction, potentially encouraging you to want to accomplish more than your current workload permits.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
You may feel more motivated to make peace, smooth things over, or create a stronger sense of harmony in your life with Venus moving through your first sector as of the 10th. You could also feel drawn toward beautifying your appearance or expressing your personal style, while reflecting on what truly matters to you. Yet Chiron in your seventh sector of partnership, directly opposite to Venus, could expose sensitivities around being chosen, valued, or reciprocated by others. This could make you more aware of how relationships affect the way you see yourself.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
This Virgo New Moon falls in your eleventh sector of collaboration, friendships, and hopes for the future, potentially encouraging you to think about what you want to build with others. Mercury is the ruler of this New Moon and has recently moved into Libra in your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work, suggesting that this new beginning may be influenced by self-sabotage, fears, or internal patterns you haven’t fully recognized as yet. Its opposition to Neptune in your sixth sector could bring in the mystical side of life or could also make it harder to distinguish between what is genuinely sustainable and what you simply want to believe will work. Mercury also trines both Uranus and Pluto – connecting these questions to significant ongoing shifts regarding root issues, vulnerability, your family life, and what you share with others including inner entanglements. Uranus in your eighth sector of depth research, intimacy issues, and partnership agreements could bring startling realizations around any shared-money or intimate situations you might be dealing with, while Pluto in your fourth sector of your emotional world could expose changes in powerful feelings or deeply rooted patterns within your private life. Together, these aspects could make the path toward your future feel less straightforward than you expected, and yet also may reveal what needs to change internally before you can move forward. Venus, your partnership sector ruler, having just entered Scorpio, therefore in your first sector of self and identity, is making your own desires and values especially prominent during this New Moon. You may feel more aware of what you want for yourself, even as Mercury’s placement asks you to consider the hidden habits or patterns that could be standing in the way.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
You may crave more time alone with your thoughts as Mercury in your twelfth sector of solitude opposes Neptune in your sixth sector of physical health and daily labor. Tiredness, dissatisfaction with your workload, or an urge to abandon your usual routine could be behind this urge to mentally withdraw, while your workplace may also leave you with impressions that are difficult to interpret. But, the trine from Mercury to Pluto in your fourth sector could bring buried emotional patterns to light or intensify a want for more control within your private life.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
Your thinking around intimacy, trust, and shared resources could take an abrupt turn as Mercury trines Uranus. You might see a complicated emotional or financial situation from a completely different angle, or suddenly understand why an old pattern has been difficult to break. Uranus can unsettle what has felt psychologically familiar, yet it may also give you the mental freedom to approach it differently.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
You may feel mentally burdened by thoughts you normally process privately as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when work, health, or daily responsibilities leave little room to withdraw. A demanding routine could make it harder to quiet your mind, while concerns about your wellbeing may bring difficult realities into focus. This could encourage you to take your need for rest and recovery more seriously.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could make it easier to understand and express private thoughts, fears, or concerns, perhaps giving you a clearer sense of what you’re feeling or thinking. Jupiter’s influence on your tenth sector of career and achievement could then help you see how these realizations connect to your professional direction. A private conversation might ultimately give you greater confidence about where you’re headed, or perhaps work you are doing behind the scenes provides you with recognition now.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
The Libra Sun may brighten parts of your inner world that are usually difficult to see, bringing your twelfth sector of the unconscious and hidden matters into view. You may recognize an emotional pattern that has been influencing you without your full awareness. Time alone could help you process these realizations, while Libra encourages you to make peace with something you’ve been carrying privately.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
The Sun in your twelfth sector of retreat, limitations, and self-sabotage could make you question how much energy you have available for the demands of work, health habits, and thankless must-do services as it opposes Neptune. You might feel less certain about your ability to keep pushing forward, or become overly compassionate toward the needs of others at the expense of yourself. Pluto’s trine from your emotional fourth sector could then bring powerful changes to your sense of security, perhaps forcing you to examine control or deeply rooted emotional patterns within your personal life.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries likely brings a situation around work, service, your day-to-day environment, or your physical wellbeing to a head. With Neptune conjunct Sun and opposing the Moon from your twelfth sector of retreat, limitations, and isolation, you may feel uncertain about whether you need to keep pushing forward or withdraw, especially if your energy or emotional capacity has become difficult to gauge. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, residing in your ninth sector of beliefs, worldview, philosophy, and the search for truth, implies that part of you could be striving toward a new sense of meaning or a more expansive direction. You could feel compelled to deepen your understanding or seek an experience that gives you a greater sense of purpose. Yet Mars’ square to Chiron in your twelfth sector could expose a tender conflict between that desire to move forward and the fears, restrictions, or self-doubt that emerge when you turn inward. You may have to confront what makes it difficult to fully trust the path you deeply want to pursue. As Saturn is highlighted in this Full Moon configuration, you may begin to recognize a more sobering reality within all of this. Saturn in your twelfth sector could be making certain boundaries, responsibilities, or fears harder to avoid, asking you to consider what you can realistically sustain and where you may need to accept a limit. What begins as an emotional response could eventually require a serious decision about what you are willing to continue carrying. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon are both positively aspecting Uranus and Pluto, connecting this Full Moon to changes in your emotional and private life. Uranus could bring sudden realizations around partners or the quality of emotional entanglements, while Pluto, representing transformation, could be guiding you to reconsider the foundations of your private life or where you hold control versus where you do not. This Full Moon may ultimately reveal that changes internally hold the keys to habitual patterns that may need to shift in alignment.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Mars is your ruler, so its move into Leo could put career, reputation, and public visibility into high gear! You may feel more ambitious, competitive, and ready to fight for professional goals, take on greater responsibility, or make a decisive move in your career. Recognition could become especially motivating, and conflicts with authority figures are possible so try not to let frustrations boil over.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
You may find yourself embodying Mercury now, in your sign, feeling especially curious, observant, and mentally engaged! Your mind could be hungry for answers, pushing you to ask better questions, follow interesting leads, and dig beneath the surface. You may also find yourself thinking more about your identity, appearance, or how you present yourself, while being more perceptive in your interactions.
Sagittarius Horoscope September 2026
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21) Fire. Ruling Planet Jupiter
This is another quite interesting month for you, Sagittarius, due to the lunation configurations that you will encounter, following the entirely dramatic ones of the recent past. The mid-August Solar Eclipse celebrated your ninth sector of Higher Mind, where we found not only the eclipse Sun and Moon, but also Mercury, and Jupiter, your ruler, located there and closely trine the Neptune/Saturn midpoint in your creativity sector. You are living out the final ten days of this Leo lunation cycle in the current month, with its emphasis on philosophical speculation and the lessons of introspection. Neptune with Saturn is an interesting aspect with overtones of an all-or-nothing approach to questions of principles or politics. In a way, this is a factor we may all be susceptible to, and that we might need to ameliorate rather than embrace. The reverse strategy of inclusivity has also its value. With Mercury in this configuration opposite Pluto, there has also been a chance for a thoughtful approach to the transformation in communication and learning that the Pluto in Aquarius era implies for Sagittarians. The recent Lunar Eclipse – just before September began – featured Mercury again, now conjunct the eclipse Sun degree of nearly 5° of Virgo in your vocational sector, so that the thoughtful and constructive approach that you have hopefully been cultivating applies, as September gets going, to your public statement. The Virgo New Moon of the 10th has additional key astrological impacts to meld with these previous indications, in that Jupiter is now in exact semi-square with Mercury at 0° Libra, located in your eleventh sector of friendship, social groupings, and future goals. An even more thoughtfully comprehensive approach is now your ticket. Mercury lies in partile aspect with that sector’s ruler, Venus, which is in your sector of unconscious process. However you slice it, a more global and gestalt visualization and understanding of what you are up to will take you closer to where you want to be heading.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspecting Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
As Mars in Cancer sextiles Mercury in Virgo, you may make sound financial decisions or receive money from others, which may positively impact your public status or career. An honest conversation with a boss could also be a benefit. Mars also aspects Jupiter and Saturn. You may feel driven to find meaning and expansion, while oddly deciding to be happy or positive at the same time.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus moving through your hidden twelfth sector may put you in the mood for seclusion, privacy, or doing things you enjoy in solitude. You could crave more time away from the demands of everyday life or find comfort in activities that help you unwind. Chiron in your sixth sector of daily duties and work could also expose sensitivities around your ability to be productive. It may be wise to pay special attention to whether your work ethic or a project has begun to take a toll on your wellbeing.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon falls in your tenth sector of career, achievement, and public direction, potentially opening a new chapter around what you want to accomplish or be known for. With Mercury, its ruler, in your eleventh sector of networks, collective goals, and the people who support your ambitions, your professional plans could be shaped by the connections you’re making or the future you’re trying to build alongside others. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune complexifies this and brings in a spiritual or a mystical dimension. Potential idealism or even illusion – as represented by Neptune – could make it more difficult to balance your ambitions with your desire for personal fulfillment, romance, or creative expression. You might feel pulled between what you’re trying to accomplish long-term and what feels meaningful or enjoyable in the present moment. Mercury is additionally trine to both Uranus and Pluto, and this could bring movement through important relationships and communication. Uranus may coincide with an unexpected development involving a partner or collaborator, while Pluto could deepen your thinking around your ongoing transformation in communications and learning, potentially changing how you understand your customary habits or immediate environment. The Sun and Moon are additionally sextile Mars, and this could give you the motivation to address shared finances or emotional entanglements that have a bearing on your professional plans. Venus, newly in Scorpio, adds another layer by bringing deeper desires and private emotional needs into this equation. You may realize that what you want publicly isn’t necessarily the same as what feels fulfilling in your private spaces behind closed doors.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
You could become very mentally focused on your future, especially when new people or collaborations seem to open exciting possibilities. Neptune’s opposition to Mercury can make conversations, agreements, or even new friendships difficult to interpret clearly, while getting swept up in a group’s vision may blur your own creative direction. Mercury’s trine to Pluto could help you investigate what’s being said more deeply and recognize what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
An abrupt development in a relationship could change the way you think about your future as Mercury trines Uranus. Someone may introduce a new idea, opportunity, or perspective that expands what you imagine is possible for yourself. Uranus can bring exciting new connections, and yet it can also disrupt existing dynamics; a change in a partnership may require you to rethink where you’re headed.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Your hopes for the future could feel less carefree as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when responsibilities around romance, creativity, or pleasure complicate what you want. You might find yourself thinking more seriously about whether your social life and long-term goals actually leave room for enjoyment. A reality check could encourage you to be more intentional about what you pursue and where you invest your energy.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could bring encouraging conversations with friends or your wider community that open you up to new possibilities. Someone could introduce an idea, opportunity, or experience that expands your horizons, perhaps inspiring you to pursue something you’ve been curious about. You may find it easier to share your aspirations and feel supported in thinking bigger about the future.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
A positive sense of possibility can grow as the Sun enters your eleventh sector of hopes and dreams! You may feel empowered to go after important goals, especially when you have people around you who share or support your vision. The Libran energy brings cooperation into the picture and furthers the theme of collaboration – making this the perfect time to work with others.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Your friendships and larger social world could become harder to navigate as the Sun opposes Neptune, particularly if romance, pleasure, or self-expression are pulling you in another direction. You might idealize a friend or group or find yourself compromising what you enjoy in order to belong. As you focus more closely on your social world, Pluto could intensify changes in how you communicate, think, or interpret information, potentially transforming the way you express your ideas.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Aries Full Moon could bring your desires into sharper focus, particularly around what you actually enjoy and what you want more room for in your life. Something involving romance, recreation, creative expression, or your relationship with a child could reach an emotional turning point in the timing of this powerful lunation. With Neptune closely conjunct the Moon, a mystical component may enter, or you may feel emotionally overwhelmed by whatever you want or idealize. A romantic or creative possibility might unexpectedly pop up. Saturn is highlighted in Aries as well, and adds a more serious note, asking you to consider what you are truly willing to commit to in terms of communal results from your creativity. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, lies in your eighth sector of intimacy, depth psychological research, and partnership, tying these desires to deeper emotional or partnership entanglements. You may also be confronting a psychological shadow or hidden part of yourself, with rebirth coming through the willingness to face something usually kept private. Mars has also a square to Chiron, which could make you especially sensitive to hidden unconscious contents that it might be high time to expose to the light of conscious awareness. At the same time, the Sun trines both Pluto and Uranus, and this could bring new and perhaps revolutionary developments through your wider social world, communication with others, and your relationship dynamic. A sea change may be shaping up within an important partnership.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
You may feel a stronger appetite for adventure as Mars moves through Leo, pushing you toward experiences that challenge your perspective and expand your world! The trine to your ascendant can give you extra confidence to take risks, pursue an education, travel somewhere new, or speak boldly about what you believe. Just watch for impatience when others challenge your views or plans change unexpectedly.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Vivid dreams, old memories, or lingering feelings could become more noticeable as Mercury moves through Scorpio. You may feel compelled to understand something from your past, particularly experiences that still influence how you think or feel today. Writing, dreamwork, or private research could help you process what’s difficult to articulate, while Scorpio’s influence may make this a powerful time for uncovering patterns you hadn’t fully recognized before.
Capricorn Horoscope September 2026
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19) Earth. Ruling Planet Saturn
This is yet another changeful month for you, Capricorn, with the recent Leo Solar Eclipse New Moon still influencing your deep reflections on life, your psychological roots, and, potentially, your love connections. This mid-August eclipse landed in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, initiating a potent thirty-day lunation cycle that finishes up over the first ten days of September. Your learning curve as the month begins is huge, with outer planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto still very much an influence in their close connections with one another and with the position of Mars at the beginning of your opposite sign in the eclipse configuration, which thus indicates strongly transformative relationship energy. The Virgo New Moon of September 10th is also powerful, taking place in your ninth sector of higher mind, and with the Sun and Moon in close bi-septile to Saturn, your ruler, situated in your home and family sector and there emphasizing your emotional depths with Neptune chiming to form a transpersonal perspective. You could be recognizing that, when you get to the heart of the matter, and to your own as well, logic and rational thinking can only provide a small part of the story. The current extreme astrology points to depth understanding and connection to Spirit as another absolutely practical factor. Because Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is powerfully placed in this mid-month configuration, being located in your sector of self-expression, joy, and romance, plus in partile or same-degree opposition to relationship-oriented Venus and partile inconjunct (quincunx) Mercury at your Midheaven, there could be self-doubt and internal wounding coming to the foreground to challenge you as second thoughts and exploration of your very depths become the norm. You win when you rise to this occasion, attempting to provide loving acceptance of your inner flaws and trusting in the universe to help you integrate and heal. The Aries Full Moon of September 26th is yet another powerful lunation, aligned with your Midheaven-Nadir axis and also the home-and-family position of numinous Neptune, again emphasizing your career-oriented presence in outer world pursuits in contrast with all that is transpiring in your private spaces below the bounds of consciousness within the depths of your psyche.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
With Mars in your opposite sign of Cancer, you may feel inclined to have productive conversations with a key partner about your beliefs, where the relationship is going, or how your outlook on the relationship is changing as Mars is highlighted by his aspect with Mercury and the recent New Moon eclipse. Mars square Saturn could coincide with family pressures complicating those conversations, while Mars’ connection to Jupiter may bring support through helping you be more vulnerable. The productive tension could ultimately push you to reconsider what you both need in order to build something more sustainable together.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Venus in your eleventh sector could bring enjoyable opportunities through friendships and collaborations! Socializing may feel easy, and having others in your corner could make future plans feel exciting. Meanwhile, Chiron in your fifth sector of romance and creative expression may stir insecurities around putting yourself out there. You might briefly wonder whether your ideas, talents, or desires are receiving the appreciation they deserve.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon falls within your ninth sector of worldview, personal beliefs, and knowledge. This new beginning could encourage you to reconsider a belief or perspective you’ve held, expand your understanding, or begin moving toward a direction that feels more meaningful. Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, lies in your tenth sector of vocation and public identity, possibly stimulating your ambitions or sense of where you’re headed. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune could indicate your sense of direction as feeling less certain, perhaps leaving you wondering whether the path you’re pursuing reflects what you need emotionally. You could feel pulled between public expectations and your private domestic world or become more sensitive to what your family needs from you. It could be hard to know which priorities should come first. Mercury in Libra is semi-sextile to Venus in Scorpio – which may create a subtle conflict between your desire to make fair and balanced choices and a strong pull toward your future hopes and aspirations. You may find yourself reconsidering what you’re willing to pursue or sacrifice in order to create the life you envision. Mercury’s trine to Uranus and Pluto could reveal different ways of thinking about how your work life supports the larger life you’re trying to build. With Uranus newly retrograde in your sixth sector of work and daily routines, an unforeseen shift in your day-to-day environment could prompt an internal reconsideration of how you want to spend your time. Pluto in your second sector of self-worth and personal resources could intensify questions about what you value in general. In the end, this New Moon could help you plant a new seed around the direction you want to pursue, even if the full shape of that future isn’t clear yet.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Your professional plans could become harder to navigate when Mercury opposes Neptune, especially if uncertainty at home is making it difficult to see where you’re headed. Family matters or changes in your private life may blur your sense of direction, while conversations with authorities could leave you wondering what is actually being promised. Mercury’s trine to Pluto could help you examine the financial side of your goals more deeply, revealing where your sense of security may be tied to your ambitions.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
An unforeseen change in your work life could alter how you think about your career as Mercury trines Uranus. A conversation with an authority figure or new information about your public role could prompt you to rethink how you structure your days, manage your workload, or care for your physical wellbeing. You may feel ready to experiment with a routine that gives you more flexibility and breaks from habits that have become stale.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Career conversations and decisions could feel heavier as Mercury opposes Saturn, especially when family matters or responsibilities in your private life complicate your professional plans. You might have to think carefully about how much you can realistically take on, or whether a public commitment is compatible with what is happening behind closed doors. Slowing down could help you make a decision that respects both sides of your life.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Career conversations could open the door to greater support as Mercury sextiles Jupiter, particularly when shared resources or financial arrangements are involved. You might receive useful information about funding, investments, or another person’s contribution, making a professional decision feel more manageable. This could also be a good time to have a candid conversation about what you need from others to move something forward.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
Career matters can take center stage as the Sun enters Libra and your tenth sector of professional life and achievement. You could receive recognition for your work and take great pride in what you’ve accomplished. Libra encourages diplomacy with colleagues and superiors, while also drawing attention to whether your professional relationships feel balanced. This could be a useful season for making a good impression and strengthening your position.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Greater awareness of your career path or public duties could make you question whether this long path you’re walking reflects what you need emotionally as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might feel pulled between professional expectations and your family or domestic life, possibly due to feeling more compassionate toward your loved ones at home. This focus on your life’s direction could also bring major changes to how you think about security, self-worth, or what you value. Pluto may push you to rethink what you truly need to feel empowered.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
With this Aries Full Moon illuminating your fourth sector of your emotional world, familial dynamics, and home, you may feel a stronger urge to make your personal life reflect what you need rather than what everyone else expects from you. Something about your living situation or familial dynamics could bring your independence and personal instincts to the forefront, while also allowing you to become more aware of what your family may need from you. Neptune’s close conjunction to the Moon could heighten your sensitivity and compassion, while also making you more emotionally impressionable or uncertain about what you truly desire from your home life. You could find yourself imagining an ideal version of your personal life while feeling less certain about what is actually possible. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, is in Cancer in your seventh sector of relationships, bringing another person or the topic of relationships more directly into the equation. You could feel especially protective of a partner or reactive to their needs. Mars’ square to Chiron, now also in your fourth sector, may touch a vulnerable place around family patterns or your sense of emotional security. The Aries influence could push you to advocate for yourself instead of automatically accommodating someone else. With prominent Saturn, the feelings stirred up here may call for concrete decisions. You may find yourself thinking about what kind of home life you can realistically create, what you’re willing to be responsible for, or which family expectations no longer fit the person you’re becoming. The Sun and Moon are both in flowing aspect with Uranus and Pluto, adding another dimension to this turning point. Uranus could bring surprise realizations about your daily tasks or work life or stir an urge to make changes to the way you handle your day-to-day responsibilities. Highlighted Pluto could intensify a desire to feel more in control of your income or enter into a deeper relationship with your own sense of worth. These influences could make this Full Moon less about simply reacting to what you feel and more about deciding what kind of foundation you want to build from here.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
Shared finances, debts, taxes, or emotional entanglements could demand more attention as Mars moves through Leo. You may need to take decisive action around what is owed, shared, or invested, or address an intimate situation that has become frustrating. Pride could also complicate matters of trust, particularly if you or someone else becomes defensive about money, vulnerability, or control. Disagreements can easily turn into power struggles.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Your social world could become more active as Mercury moves through Scorpio! The urge to have deeper conversations with friends and connect emotionally with all of the groups you’re a part of could also coincide with this transit. Group discussions may take on a more intimate or probing quality. Plus, you might be thinking more strategically about long-term goals and making plans with others that help move those ambitions forward!
Aquarius Horoscope September 2026
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Air. Ruling Planets Uranus, Saturn
This month of September, Aquarius, follows the previous two of a summer that truly sizzled with the outer planet energy of Neptune and Pluto, along with your modern ruler, Uranus, and yet there is still more astrological intensity at hand within the current month. The recent New Moon eclipse in Leo, your opposite sign, features – what remains quite active – the powerful collision of outer planet archetypes, including Uranus in Gemini, corresponding to your fifth sector of creativity, self-expression, and joy. Your individual development and as well your key relationships are thus important factors for you now, especially since the lunation cycle that began with the potent mid-August Solar Eclipse has yet another ten days to run. Mercury in Leo was in that eclipse configuration in same-degree sextile with Uranus in your fifth or self-expression sector, and with Venus on the other side, so that there is likely to be present within you as September gets underway a thoughtful reassessment of your entire relationship dynamic. This goes along with and flavors the ongoing identity transformation you are under, as can be associated with highlighted Pluto, still in the early degrees of your sign. Relationship has many facets, and one that is very significant for you right now is to serve as a mirror for your own current development, a thorough-going set of changes that takes the transpersonal and the mystical more completely into account. You are a scientist at heart, and the word science implies truth, wherever you can find it, including within yourself by means of cosmic intuition. The Virgo New Moon of September 10th facilitates this ongoing internal transition with its emphasis on your eighth solar sector of intimacy, depth research, and personal evolution. Relationship-oriented Venus lies at 0° Scorpio in this New Moon, in your tenth sector of career and professional life, in same-degree opposition to Chiron, the Wounded Healer, at 0° Taurus, in your root sector of home and family. This is a very potent configuration all on its own, and indicates that internal wounding, to be countered by self-acceptance and realistic inner work, could play its part in your ongoing transformation of career as well as identity, involving new conceptions of your relationship dynamic.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspects Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
Mars moving through your sixth sector could have you taking a more active approach to your physical upkeep or possibly your general daily to-dos. This could also introduce some frustration within the workplace, in addition to some emotional drive to get things done. Either way, Mars’ sextile to Mercury could bring up deep seated compulsions and internal shadows – which may motivate you toward powerful evolutionary change. You might also have unexpected gains or sign a new and positive financial contract! Plus, Mars’ connection to Saturn could bring on heavy and defining conversations, while his aspect to Jupiter could amplify your desire for closeness or partnership, bringing luck there and potentially allowing you to be more eager for another person’s involvement.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
You could receive more attention or appreciation for your work as Venus enters your tenth sector of career and reputation. Professional relationships could also become more enjoyable, while feeling proud of what you’re putting your name behind could boost your confidence. Chiron in your emotional fourth sector could however expose sensitivities around inner security or where you feel you truly belong. You could also feel torn between alternatives like pursuing success and tending to your family or domestic life.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
This Virgo New Moon marks an opportunity for rebirth in your eighth sector of depth research, intimacy, and personal evolution, asking you to confront psychological shadows or difficult experiences and make psychological sense out of it. The ruler of this New Moon, Mercury, has recently moved into Libra in your ninth sector of beliefs, worldview, and education, suggesting that moving forward may require you to expand your philosophical perspective. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune could leave you questioning whether what you’re learning, or your evolving worldview, is actually grounded in reality, or is perhaps some form of deception, creating confusion between facts, intuition, and assumptions. A truly mystical message is actually what is being conveyed. Mercury’s trine to both Pluto and Uranus is revolutionary and may help you see yourself and your desires from a different angle, as part of your natural evolution. Pluto – residing this past two years or so in your first sector of self and identity – could deepen your awareness of how much you’re changing, while Uranus in your fifth sector of creative self-expression – also related to identity – could bring novel ideas and startling realizations about what you want to pursue, enjoy, or take a chance on. The Sun and Moon in sextile to Mars, in your sixth sector of service, on the edge of your opposite sign of Leo, could help you act on what your body or instincts are telling you. This could involve your partnerships, potentially your health or your day-to-day routines. Venus, having recently entered Scorpio, sits prominently in your tenth sector of career and achievement, so that her uneasy connection with the lunation ruler could create tension between your fundamental desire to explore new possibilities and the responsibilities and weight surrounding your career and professional life.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Plans could become harder to navigate as Mercury in your ninth sector of travel opposes Neptune in your third sector of logistics. Emails, conversations, or everyday interactions could leave you with more questions than answers, especially when you’re trying to reconcile concrete details with a bigger picture that feels uncertain. Mercury’s trine to Pluto in your first sector of identity could help you recognize where your faith in your own views could be developing or deepening.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
A conversation about a belief or perspective could spark a new way of expressing yourself as Mercury trines Uranus. Something you learn or discuss may suddenly change what you find enjoyable, opening you to a new relationship with pleasure or encouraging you to experiment with how you spend your free time. Uranus can make your interests more changeable, but it may also introduce a fresh sense of excitement around something you enjoy.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Your broader plans and beliefs could become harder to navigate as Mercury opposes Saturn, especially when everyday conversations or logistical problems introduce limitations. A delay, difficult message, or frustrating exchange could force you to reconsider how you’re approaching a trip, course of study, or bigger goal. Taking your time with the details may help you distinguish between what is genuinely possible and what needs to be revised.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could open the door to a new experience through another person or partner, perhaps involving travel, education, publishing, or an idea that expands your perspective! Someone could also be especially encouraging, giving you the confidence to pursue something you might otherwise hesitate over. Even a new mentor or teacher could step into your life.
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
The Libra Sun can spark your curiosity to look beyond what is familiar as it enters your ninth sector of new horizons, beliefs, and exploration. You may feel drawn toward travel, education, or conversations that broaden the way you see the world. The Sun’s trine to your Ascendant adds an ease to this process, potentially helping you feel excited about expressing your perspective and allowing what you’re learning to become part of who you are.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
The Sun in your ninth sector of long-distance travel, mastery, and beliefs is opposing Neptune in your third sector, potentially creating friction between the bigger picture you’re pursuing and the information or circumstances immediately surrounding you. You might feel inspired to explore a new philosophy, continue your education, or visit somewhere that changes your outlook, while Neptune could make it difficult to distinguish between what you know and what you believe. Simultaneously, Pluto in your first sector of self and identity is trining the Sun, suggesting that this process could coincide with a powerful shift in how you see yourself and the direction you want your life to take.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Aries Full Moon falls in your cerebral third sector of communication and learning, plus siblings and your local environment – potentially bringing something around these topics to a head. With Neptune closely conjunct to the Moon, you could also feel emotionally uncertain about what information to trust, how to articulate your thoughts, or whether you’re seeing a situation clearly. It is the mystical rather than the strictly logical side of life that Neptune brings. Whatever you might hear or learn could leave you emotionally unsettled, until you decide to just relax and enjoy the ride. With Mars, the Full Moon’s ruler, in your sixth sector of wellness, habits, daily routines, and labor, there’s an interesting connection between your mind and your day-to-day habitual patterns. You may feel your workload or wellbeing to be causing tension with your ability to think clearly, communicate, or keep up with everyday errands and concerns. The state of your connection with your local community or siblings could also be taking a toll on your ability to be entirely productive. Mars’ square to Chiron, now retrograde at the end of your third sector, could expose a tender spot around communication or articulation that can only be resolved by loving yourself through it. Family life also continues to be affected. With Saturn in your third sector additionally highlighted, you may begin to recognize a slowdown with communicative outreach to others, or that a more serious response is required. Saturn could ask you to take greater responsibility for what you say, how you express yourself, or for the information you choose to absorb or share. What initially feels difficult to deal with does, however, come with built-in lessons that may yet prove extremely rewarding in the long run. Meanwhile, the Sun is trine both Pluto and Uranus, with Pluto in your first sector of self and identity, where he has recently been doing his transformative work. Uranus lies in your fifth sector of self-expression, providing sudden events and unexpected revelations there, and potentially connecting these developments to changes in your sense of identity, who you really are, and what, in your greatest authenticity, you find fulfilling. Pluto may be pushing you to reconsider how you show up in the world and to what effect. Uranus may also bring unusual, fresh developments around romance, pleasure, or creative pursuits.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
One-on-one relationships could become more active and charged as Mars moves through Leo. You may find yourself taking a stronger stance with partners, clients, or other important people, while passionate collaborations could also gain momentum. This can bring more excitement to relationships, although pride or competitiveness may spark arguments if either person feels challenged. Open conflicts could also become harder to avoid.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
Your career could become a much bigger mental preoccupation as Mercury moves through Scorpio. You may be thinking more strategically about where you’re headed professionally or getting serious about a decision that could affect your reputation. Conversations with bosses or authority figures may carry more weight than usual. Contracts, negotiations, or discussions about your responsibilities could also come into play, especially if something needs to be clarified or handled discreetly.
Pisces Horoscope September 2026
PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Water. Ruling Planets Neptune, Jupiter
This is another rather incredible month for you, Pisces, with a huge focus on key relationships in your life and what they have to teach you at both surface and deep layers of your psyche, as you grow. The Leo mid-August eclipse New Moon initiated a thirty-day lunation cycle that has yet ten days to go in early September. There is also to consider the very recent Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in your sign, from late night August 27th with the Virgo Sun quite closely conjunct Mercury in your opposite sign. This potent lunation implies that issues of self and other are illuminated and being brought to greater conscious articulation for you as the month begins. September is therefore an excellent time to converse with trusted partners, or perhaps to fill journal pages, in attempt to better comprehend this important area of life. The eclipse Sun and Moon were closely aligned with Pluto in your twelfth sector of unconscious process and square Uranus at 5° of Gemini, in your fourth solar sector, making a T-square to destabilizing Uranus in this sensitive area of home and family. In the wake of this extremely potent recent Full Moon eclipse, you might find novel ideas and – as well – surprising events relating to your domestic scene. There could also be intuitive revelations that flow and can be teased out by your logical mind, especially with mental Mercury having been so deeply entwined in the astrology. As the current month continues to unfold, the Virgo New Moon of the evening of September 10th in your relationship sector provides further stimulation and consolidation of all this partner-oriented psychological and real-world activity. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is also then activated at 0° Taurus, in your third sector of communications, curiosity, and learning, directly opposed to Venus, relationship planet and the ruler of your eighth solar sector of intimacy and personal evolution. Mercury is again triggered in this mid-month intense lunation. The chances are good that something will come up to further your understanding of hidden complexes of inner wounding – the likely residue of early childhood trauma – in connection to your home life and your key relationship patterning.
The following was written by our guest astrologer, Lauren Hansen. You can find her here.
Mars Sextile Mercury and Aspecting Jupiter + Saturn – Sept 1st
As Mars in Cancer sextiles Mercury in Virgo, in your relationship sector, you may feel driven and instinctual around romance while also being able to practice discernment and selectivity. You could find it easier to discuss what excites you with a partner. You could also be motivated to bring more pleasure and joy into your relationships! Mars and Jupiter also have a bit of friction – which could result in work opportunities or health priorities perhaps getting in the way of your fun. Mars’ aspect to Saturn could also coincide with a lack of self-worth or simply feeling you are missing the funds to fuel plans with partners.
Venus Opposite Chiron – September 7th – 12th
Travel, learning, or exploring new ideas could feel especially enjoyable with Venus moving through your ninth sector of higher knowledge and broader perspectives. You may feel drawn toward experiences that expand your worldview and beliefs. Chiron in your third sector of communication and everyday interactions might expose sensitivities around speaking up or feeling confident in what you have to say. You could also feel caught between trusting what you know and worrying about whether you can express it clearly.
The New Moon in Virgo – September 10th
The Virgo New Moon takes place in your seventh sector of relationship, beginning a new cycle around an important or prospective partner, likely giving you a new view on your relationship dynamic in general. With Mercury, the ruler of this New Moon, highlighted in your eighth sector of intimacy and personal evolution, you may gain some clarity around how deep, vulnerable, or trustworthy a key partner might actually be. You could also be looking more closely at shared money in this context. Mercury’s opposition to Neptune could bring a spiritual perspective or perhaps make these matters more difficult to see clearly. You might idealize a partner, become emotionally overwhelmed by the depth of a relationship situation, or struggle to separate what you know from what you hope or fear. Mercury’s semi-sextile to Venus could also create friction between what you’re feeling beneath the surface and what you believe your life should look like. You may find that something you thought you understood about intimacy or trust doesn’t quite square with broader beliefs or expectations. Mercury is trine to both Uranus and Pluto, which is also quite important and could bring revelations that change how you understand your own inner dynamics, perhaps through an unexpected development at home or a realization deep with you that emerges during solitude or contemplation. The Sun and Moon in sextile to Mars could make it easier to act on what you want, perhaps bringing more passion, playfulness, or spontaneity into your interactions within key relationships.
Mercury Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 11th – 13th
Shared financial matters could become more difficult to interpret as Mercury in your eighth sector of intimacy and shared resources opposes Neptune in your second sector of values, money, and self-worth. You could also perhaps be uncertain about what makes you feel secure within an intimate relationship, especially when your own needs are difficult to define. Mercury’s trine to Pluto could bring hidden motivations or self-limiting thoughts into awareness, while potentially intensifying your desire for privacy and control over your world.
Mercury Trine Uranus – September 12th – 14th
As Mercury trines Uranus, intimate conversations could take unforeseen and possibly liberating turns. Something you learn within an important relationship could shift the emotional atmosphere at home, bringing a psychological shadow into awareness and changing how you relate to your past. Uranus can disrupt familiar emotional patterns; this potent archetype may also encourage a more independent approach to your private life.
Mercury Opposite Saturn – September 16th – 18th
Intimate conversations could become more serious as Mercury opposes Saturn, particularly when money, possessions, or questions of security are involved. You might hesitate before sharing something important or making a decision that affects another person, especially if concerns about what you can afford or what you deserve are weighing on you. A slower, more deliberate approach could help you think through what you’re willing to share or commit to.
Mercury Sextile Jupiter – September 19th – September 22nd
Mercury in sextile with Jupiter could make it easier to talk through shared financial or emotional issues, which can in turn lead to workplace or health improvements. Because having constructive and honest conversations is easier now, you might find that addressing something complicated with a coworker helps ease tension. This aspect could also help lighten some of your everyday responsibilities, particularly if another person is able to take on more or help you resolve something!
Libra Equinox – September 22nd
Something beneath the surface of your shared financial or emotional life could come to light as the Libra Sun enters your eighth sector of hidden matters and intimacy. You may see a dependency or exchange with someone else more clearly or be ready to address complex issues that involve your partner. Fairness and cooperation are possible when you are willing to meet each other halfway.
Sun Opposite Neptune + Trine Pluto – September 23rd – 27th
Sexual connection, shared resources, or even the topics of grief or crisis could become more difficult to navigate as the Sun opposes Neptune. You might find yourself questioning what you truly need from others versus what you’re capable of providing or processing yourself. You could also find yourself emotionally overwhelmed by experiences of grief, crisis, or deep intimacy, making it difficult to determine what you need in the moment. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius could bring buried unconscious material to the surface, drawing your attention toward fears or unconscious habits that have been operating beneath your awareness.
Full Moon in Aries – September 26th
This Full Moon in Aries is very significant for you because once more aligning with the heavy-duty astrological players of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This intense lunation in your second sector could bring a culmination around your resources, income, or sense of personal value, perhaps making you more aware of what you have, what you need, or what you’re willing to do to provide for yourself. With Neptune, your ruler, in close conjunction with the Moon, your relationship with emotional security could seem to be especially important to you now. Your sense of identity could be tangled up with issues of allies or resources so that it felt difficult to separate them out. Highlighted Saturn then adds a sobering layer, asking you to acknowledge your financial limits and consider what is actually sustainable. The Full Moon’s ruler, Mars, is in your fifth sector of pleasure, creative expression, romance, and any children in your life, possibly bringing some of those topics into the equation. You may feel motivated to spend on something that brings you joy or decide to value a creative or romantic pursuit. With Chiron, now also in your second sector, and squaring Mars, your desires could rub up against insecurities around money or personal value, making it harder to freely pursue what you want. At the same time, the Sun in Libra trines Pluto and Uranus which could open the door to deeper emotional and domestic changes connected to this Full Moon. Something that has been kept largely unconscious could become more consciously significant, while an unexpected shift at home could alter how you think about security or what you need to feel grounded. This could be an emotionally revealing moment that helps you better understand what needs to change as you chart your path moving forward.
Mars Enters Leo – September 27th
You may have less patience for inefficiency in your work and daily life as Mars enters Leo, in your service sector, prompting you to take charge and get things moving! You could feel a new sense of mission, become more assertive with coworkers, more decisive about your habitual routines, or more greatly eager to take on daily tasks that require initiative. Physical activity may also be attractive to help burn off excess energy, though frustration, overwork, or minor health issues could arise if you push too hard.
Mercury Enters Scorpio – September 30th
With Mercury in your ninth sector of beliefs and worldview, your mind could become increasingly absorbed in subjects that expand your philosophy, while travel or education could also become more active. Researching something intensely or pursuing a course of study may feel altogether compelling to you now! Teaching or sharing what you know could also be stimulating, especially when you decide you have something meaningful to say. Conversations about spirituality or life issues may carry more emotional weight so that easy answers may feel less satisfying.
A September of Tending and Trust
September 2026 begins as something of an exhale moment, as we are in the two-week period of the waning moon after the stormy weather between eclipses from August 12th to 27th. Each Eclipse Season brings along its own flavor of karmic intensity and big, swift movements of transformative energy, and as we sit with what has transpired in the past few weeks, it may be helpful to allow things to settle, and to take stock of all that has moved through in the blustery winds of change.
This recent Eclipse Season first brought a dynamic combination of Leo and Aquarius energies, revealing shadowed egoic patterns, focalizing creativity, and amplifying individual expression in the context of broader social groups and cultures. The Lunar Eclipse along the Pisces/Virgo axis illuminated both our capacity to keep hoping and dreaming for a bright future, and the value of small, actionable steps that help us each create a fulfilling life, a culture of kindness, and a world where all beings can feel free. So, in the first week of this month, we are in that time of integration after all the tumult of Eclipse Season, of which the full ripples will continue to be felt and seen as the coming months unfold.
Hoping for and envisioning a better future is not to minimize the immense weight and difficulty of our times, which are likely stretching each of us to somehow embrace paradox and nuance, and to traverse the landscape of a world that is changing exponentially with each passing week. All throughout this month, the rest of the year, and into 2027, we have the outer planet alignment of Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, and Uranus in Gemini, all in flowing aspect to one another. This is truly a remarkable time to be living through. These outer planets move very slowly through the zodiac, so to have all three of them so closely aspected to one another is quite rare, and a consequential turning point for our world. Because these planets are in the first degrees of fire and air signs, this signals that the collective atmosphere feels very dynamic, experimental, and volatile. With all the advancements and innovations there becomes unprecedented possibility, and in the same breath so much is collapsing and crumbling before our eyes. It is a tremendous ask for each of our bodies, hearts, souls, and nervous systems to contend with how quickly the world is changing.
Come September 10th we have a pivotal day, as the New Moon in Virgo begins the next lunation cycle. On that same day, Uranus stations retrograde, Venus moves into Scorpio, and Mercury moves into Libra. As the Sun meets the Moon in the sign of the maiden, we are called to hone our discernment, to keep what is useful and shed what is not, and to really put ourselves to task and get our hands to work. Virgo reminds us of far more than just perfectionism and tidying our sock drawer. Virgo shows us that every detail we tend to with love and diligence creates greater coherence and wellness for the whole, especially when there is intentionality woven into those small activities. This New Moon also brings a wave of fresh energy, with Mercury, Venus, and Chiron all occupying 0 degrees of their respective signs. We are invited to bring our presence to whatever wounds exist around value, worth, and resources. We may come to see during this moon cycle the ways we can tend to the arc of our own healing and one another’s, and what new story wants to be told through each of us. With Uranus stationing, his presence is quite pronounced and strong, so we can perhaps expect more surprises, aha moments, breakdowns, and breakthroughs.
On the 17th, Chiron, after a brief appearance in Taurus this summer, is backtracking into Aries, where it will remain until next April when it steps forward once again into Taurus until 2034. This last stint of Chiron in Aries could have us doing a final introspection on those themes that have been evolving and percolating since 2018. Given Neptune and Saturn’s current placement in Aries, this adds another dimension to the inquiry at hand. Perhaps we can ask ourselves: how can we take greater responsibility for pursuing what truly brings us vitality and excitement? This final passage of Chiron through Aries asks us to actively dismantle the distortions of cultural conditioning that live within us, and to step more fully into the truth of who we are.
On the 22nd we have one of the most important astro holidays of the year, the Libra Equinox, when the Sun moves into that sign. It also signals the change of season from summer to autumn in the northern hemisphere. It is the day when the light is equal to the dark, beginning to diminish as we move toward winter. It is a potent time of remembering balance and feeling into the celestial rhythms and turnings. Libra season brings with it the quest for connectivity, for beauty, for fairness, and for a world where we are all watching out for each other… and hopefully even doing it in style.
The September month winds down with the Full Moon culminating in Aries on the 26th. This Full Moon is in very close alignment with Neptune, which points to a time of greater access to dream states, to imagination, and to hope. Yet it is also easy, during Neptune times, to feel lost or scared in the face of uncertainty, and to fall into the various ways we humans act out when faced with a lack of control. Perhaps the invitation of this late-month Full Moon, as it sheds light into our lives and our world, is this: to build resilience amid the uncertainty, and to channel the powers of imagination to create and weave the future that we want, trusting deeply in the greater wisdom of life. In our current context it is only human to feel worry, doubt, fear, rage, sorrow… all of these.
It is up to us to exercise our conscious choice in how we occupy the helm of our own awareness. Can we find space within ourselves for both grief and gratitude? How might we tend lovingly to the pain, and sow the seeds of the world we want to see flourish and grow?
