With Virgo season underway, we should see a stark contrast between the wobbly energy of last month and the more grounded energy of this month. Although Mars will be moving back into unconventional Aquarius, which should stir things up a bit; having the Sun and communicative Mercury in Virgo should help us with staying flexible, organized, and sane. And if we feel like we’ve fallen off track or off target, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will help us find our bearings again and get back on the wagon. Meanwhile, pleasure-loving Venus will be in all-or-nothing Scorpio, making sure that whatever or whomever we invest our time and resources into will truly be worth the trouble.

Overview:

With Virgo season underway, we should see a stark contrast between the wobbly energy of last month and the more grounded energy of this month. Although Mars will be moving back into unconventional Aquarius, which should stir things up a bit; having the Sun and communicative Mercury in Virgo should help us with staying flexible, organized, and sane. And if we feel like we’ve fallen off track or off target, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will help us find our bearings again and get back on the wagon. Meanwhile, pleasure-loving Venus will be in all-or-nothing Scorpio, making sure that whatever or whomever we invest our time and resources into will truly be worth the trouble.

The second half of the month ushers in Libra season (September 22), which reminds us of the importance of beauty and relationships. With Mercury also entering Libra around this time, we’re reminded to find the beauty in the world, while making room for others to be heard – especially when it comes to marginalized voices. Thankfully, the Full Moon in Aries on September 24, will make sure we find the courage needed to stand up for what we believe in and face the things that scare us. Also, good news: Saturn and Pluto end their retrogrades this month (September 6 and September 30, respectively) and begin moving forward again; helping us to give the ax to people, places, and situations that have left us feeling disempowered, unstable, or uncertain.

Aries:

Detail and discipline is the name of the game for you for much of September. That’s because communicative Mercury will be moving home to Virgo on September 5 and into your zone of health, work, and routine. With the Sun already in this zone, your focus turns to how you manage your schedule, as well as your physical and mental well-being. Virgo season will remind you of the importance of sticking to a healthy regimen when it comes to food, exercise, and your responsibilities so you get things done the right way without burning yourself out in the process. Look to the New Moon in Virgo (September 9) to help you with implementing a healthier lifestyle and finding the discipline you need to follow through. And since we’re talking about discipline, when love planet Venus enters Scorpio on September 9 and moves into your zone of intimacy and finances; it will be hard for others to resist you. Just remember Aries, that all are not welcome behind your closed doors (no matter how sexy, dangerous, or exciting they seem). When it comes to potential lovers be discerning. Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio might help you find some extra cash or smooth things over with a financial obligation.

Come September 10, Mars moves to Aquarius – your zone of friendship; helping you to get focused and get out there when it comes to rubbing shoulders with influential people. Since this zone also covers your hopes and wishes, Mars in Aquarius will be helping you to take yours seriously, so you can pursue them. At the same time, there could be some shake-ups around your circle of friends. Don’t be afraid to kiss a bad friend goodbye. On the 22nd, the Sun enters Libra and moves into your zone of partnership putting the spotlight on teamwork, collaborations, and a significant other. Over the next few weeks, your road to success will be by way of savvy business partnerships and being open to support or assistance from others. With Mercury entering Libra on the 21st, you should find negotiations and conversations to go quite well; helping you to tap new opportunities and connect with new people. If looking for love, Libra season could bring you someone with commitment potential. Look to the Full Moon in Aries (September 24), lighting up your zone of self-image to help you with improving your self-acceptance. Hint: don’t beat yourself up.

Taurus:

Love, passion, and fun are on the agenda for you this month as communicative Mercury joins the Sun in Virgo (your zone of romance and creativity) on September 5. With Mercury at home in Virgo and this area of your life, you’re encouraged to get curious and to get busy when it comes to honing your talents, picking up new creative skills, and romancing your way into someone’s heart. If last month had you down and out for the count, use September to find your sense of joy and adventure again. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will be working its magic to help you start fresh in love and life. If your confidence has been waning, this New Moon will help you to feel like your fabulous self again. Meanwhile, on that same day, love planet Venus enters Scorpio and steps into your zone of partnership. No matter if love or business is on the table, Venus will be on hand making sure that you get the best of the best when it comes to potential partners. Look to Venus in Scorpio to help you with manifesting a business contract or agreement that brings you some extra cash. Coupled Taurus’ will also benefit from Venus’ romantic gifts. And on the 10th, Mars re-enters Aquarius, your career zone, to help you achieve boss level status.

On September 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of health and work. With busy Mercury in this zone, you can expect the pace to pick up significantly. This means you’ll have to stay on top of your list of responsibilities as well as your schedule. Though if you feel like you’ve been slacking, Mercury in Libra will push you to get back to work. On the 22nd the Sun enters Libra too, bringing the spotlight to how you care for your mind and body. If you’ve been over-indulging on sweets, alcohol, etc., Libra season will motivate you to take better care of yourself. For some Taurus’ this might mean working with a therapist, nutritionist, or another type of healer. On the 24th, the month ends with a Full Moon in Aries, that ignites your zone of rest and retreat. This full moon will be a reminder for you to take care of your spiritual health too. This might include purging something from the past and allowing yourself to heal from an old wound.

Though Venus doesn’t like stressing themselves too much, which means your focus will also be on self-care and taking care of your well-being. If it’s been a while since you’ve treated yourself to some good drink and good food, Venus will push you to do so.

On the 10th, passionate Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of travel and opportunity. With Mars here, don’t be surprised if you get the urge to take off at a moment’s notice or find yourself craving to get back into school. No matter which adventure you choose, your goal will be to expand your awareness, challenge old beliefs, and step out of your comfort zone.

Leo:

The big, cash money wad is what’s on your mind this month as planets in Virgo camp out in your zone of income and possessions. With the Sun already in this zone, you might find that you’re most interested in manifesting money by way of a job offer, a new client, or a salary increase. Either way, you’re willing to put in the work it will take this month to grow your bank account. With detail-oriented Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th, your focus will also be on keeping better track of your money too. If you’ve been overspending, Mercury will call for you to create a budget and stick to it. Overall, while Virgo season rolls on, themes around your self-worth will come up for review. If you’ve been putting in lots of work and getting very little in return, Virgo season will ask that you hold yourself accountable and do something about it. Luckily, you’ll have the New Moon in Virgo (September 9) working on your behalf helping you to secure a new stream of income or to increase the one you already have. Meanwhile, Venus enters Scorpio, your zone of home and family on the same day. An upgrade to your living space can help you with attracting abundance, so don’t discount the importance of redecorating and decluttering your home.

On the 10th, aggressive Mars moves into Aquarius and into your zone of partnership.

At the same time, when it comes to how you handle your anger, can you find more constructive ways to fight? Remember the lessons you learned while Mars was retrograde. On the 21st, Mercury enters diplomatic Libra, your zone of communication; helping you to charm and get along with just about anyone that crosses your path. Lean on Mercury in Libra’s gift of negotiation and suave, that way you don’t let folks unnecessarily ruffle your feathers. Just make sure you’re not playing nice just for the sake of being liked or accepted. With the Sun entering Libra on the 22nd, it’ll be hard for others to not enjoy you or your company anyway, though that doesn’t mean everyone has an invitation. If you need to get something off your chest, however, the Full Moon in Aries landing in your zone of travel and opportunity on September 24th will help you to air something or someone out. Speaking your mind will boost your confidence.

Virgo:

Your birthday season is in full swing and the cosmos is making sure that you don’t leave empty-handed. Not only do you have the confident Sun working on your behalf bringing you extra warmth, power, and attention but Mercury, your patron saint, will be moving home to Virgo on September 5. With the Sun and Mercury housed in your zone of self-image and confidence, you should feel a lot clearer in terms of who you are and where you’re headed, especially since last month’s Mercury retrograde may have had your head spinning. Connecting and speaking with others should be a lot easier too, so you won’t have to worry too much about misunderstandings. As if that weren’t enough, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 stops in to help you with starting fresh and breaking free of anything (or anyone) that’s been holding you back.

On September 10, go-getter Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of health and work. With Mars kicking up things several notches, you’ll have to take care not to burn yourself out.

At the same time, Mars can assist you with getting back on track with a wellness program if you’ve fallen off. By the 21st, Mercury moves into Libra, your zone of income and possessions.

Under this full moon, you could finally pay off a debt or financial obligation or put an end to a toxic relationship.

Libra:

As you get prepared to celebrate your birthday, it seems you need to clean house a bit before you do. That’s why there will be a few planets camped out in Virgo this month which covers your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. With the Sun already in this zone, you might find yourself feeling a bit more reclusive than usual. That’s because you need to take time to yourself, to recharge, and to commune with the divine. With communicative Mercury moving into Virgo on September 5, it’s time for you to give your brain a much-needed timeout. Look towards meditative exercises like journal writing or healing sound mantras to help you with clearing your head and letting go of negative thoughts. If you’ve been dealing with issues around anxiety, depression, or severe mood swings; this would also be a good time to begin working with a therapist or a mental health expert. Going into your birthday, which is also considered a new year, you’ll want to make sure your load is as light as possible. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 can assist you when it comes to developing a spiritual practice or giving yourself permission to let go of the past. Meanwhile, when Venus (your patron saint) enters Scorpio; your zone of income; also on September 9, your finances get a boost.

The following day, on September 10, Mars moves into Aquarius – your zone of romance and creativity. Under Mars’ keep, your mission will be to delve into your passions; allowing your creative energy to run wild. You might even come up with an idea or project that lands you on the map. Though overall, the point of this Mars transit will be for you to know what it’s like you let yourself go and have fun again. And, when it comes to love and romance, Mars will have you feeling yourself so much that you won’t be able to help turning heads. If you’re focused on doing what you want to do, you’ll have folks eating out the palm of your hand. Still, the party doesn’t stop there as Mercury moves into Libra, your zone of self-image, on September 21; helping you to move mountains with your words and ideas. As the social butterfly of the zodiac, you already have the gift of gab but with Mercury on your side; let’s just say… be intentional about what you speak into existence. Come September 22 the Sun moves into Libra, kicking off your birthday season. With the Sun in your zone of self-image; you should feel more capable and more powerful than you have in a while. On the 24th, the Full Moon in Aries in your partnership zone may either solidify or liquefy a key relationship. The choice is yours.

Scorpio:

It’s all about who you know this month as your zone of friendship and allies gets its annual visit from the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. With the Sun already in this area of your chart, you may already be dealing with all kind of events, gatherings, and parties with people in your circle. When Mercury shows up on September 6, you can expect that number to increase. This is a good thing though, as the people you’ll be meeting won’t only be kindred spirits, they’ll also be people that can turn you on to new opportunities. That’s right look to the people you know to put in a good word on your behalf when it comes to your work and your character. If people reach out to you now, it will most likely be due to all of the good things they’ve been hearing about you. If you have something to share with the public, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 can help you with building a campaign or network to get the word out.

So don’t be surprised if folks are clamoring over themselves trying to get next to you.

On the 10th, things may get a bit rocky as aggressive Mars moves back into Aquarius, your zone of home and family. With Mars stirring things up, arguments and home-related accidents could be aplenty but utilize what you’ve learned from Mars retrograde to help you with keeping your cool. As it’s often said on these astrology streets, Mars in your home zone is usually a good time for doing anything around the house that requires extra energy; like making repairs, reorganizing the closets/furniture, and of course, moving to a new space. Come the 21st, things should calm down a bit as Mercury enters Libra, your zone of rest and retreat; pushing you to take some time to yourself and to get away from the everyday noise of the world. When the Sun enters Libra on the following day (September 22), your source of warmth and good vibes will come from solitude, rest, and engaging activities that soothe and feed your spirit. However, on the 24th, things may get a bit bumpy again as the Full Moon in Aries ignites your zone of health and work. At the least, this moon will highlight where you need to improve your health and what you can do about it.

Sagittarius:

You’re the biggest boss that we’ve seen thus far, well, at least for the month of September. That’s because your career zone gets some extra love and attention from the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. Now that the Sun is already working their magic in this zone, you might find that you’re getting all kinds of attention and recognition from folks from all over, especially as your reputation begins speaking for itself.

On September 10, go-getter Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of communication. With Mars here, you might find yourself being more opinionated than usual. Try to keep the need to share/post every single thought that comes to your head to a minimum as not everyone needs to know your business and some things may be better left unsaid. However, do use Mars’ courage and confidence to speak up for yourself or on behalf of someone that can’t speak up for themselves. On the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of friendship. As such, don’t be too surprised if opportunities start coming your way based on the people you know. Thanks to the hard work you’ve been putting in, it will be hard for people to not know your name. Meanwhile, when it comes to your friends, spending time with them and attending social gatherings will be just what you need, especially as the Sun enters Libra on September 22. Come September 24, a passionate Full Moon in Aries ignites your zone of romance and creativity; which could help you seal the deal on a current romance or kiss a dead one goodbye. In terms of your creative talent, be prepared for a breakthrough. P.s. authenticity is sexy on you.

Capricorn:

Moving beyond what you know is the theme for you this month, as planets in Virgo take up residence in your zone of travel, education, and opportunity. With the confident Sun already in this zone, you might find yourself being pushed to branch out and explore the world. When curious Mercury moves into Virgo on September 5, that “push” will be hard to ignore as Mercury will have you thirsting for new experiences and interesting things to learn. Some of these experiences will be best had overseas or in a classroom. Either way, your mission is to reclaim your sense of freedom and get used to looking on the bright side. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will assist you in opening your heart to adventure. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to take a risk on, a place you’ve wanted to visit, or maybe even a book that you’ve wanted to publish; this new moon will give you the cosmic help you need. On that very same day, charming Venus will enter Scorpio, your zone of friendship and hopes and wishes. Not only will Venus be helping you to see what’s possible when it comes to your dreams, but they will also help you to become of the toast of the town. And guess what? That could help you attract some cash too.

On the 10th, aggressive Mars enters Aquarius, your zone of income and possessions. If you’ve been working yourself extremely hard and getting very little back as a form of compensation or reward; Mars will push you to be more demanding about what you get paid. In other words, it’s time to put some “respeck” on your name, Cap. Know that people won’t undersell or underestimate you if you don’t undersell or underestimate yourself first. Like Queen Ramonda told T’Challa “remember who you are”. On the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of career and recognition. As such, look to Mercury to bring you opportunities to share your thoughts, words, and ideas on a major platform. When the Sun enters Libra a day later, your career gets a boost. Over the next few weeks you might receive a position of authority or increased responsibility with the pay and the benefits to go along with it. Come September 24, a Full Moon in Aries lights up your zone of home and family; which could bring up something painful from your past. Though know that this will be your opportunity to address what happened and heal from it once and for all. If relocating, this moon could help you finalize details.

Aquarius:

Just when you thought you were down for the count, the cosmos sends you some reinforcements to pick you back up. The first up to the rescue is Mercury, which moves to Virgo on September 5 and into your zone of intimacy and rebirth. If you’ve been spending too much of your time wrapped up in an unhealthy relationship or giving your power away to those that are undeserving, Mercury (along with the Sun) in Virgo will help you to be more vocal about your boundaries and better at trusting yourself and your intuition. Meanwhile, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will stop by to help you with getting out of a tough financial situation (do your research!) and commit to breaking free of any unhealthy attachments. Though your blessings don’t stop there. On September 9, money-making Venus will enter Scorpio, your zone of career and recognition; helping you to secure the bag (ca-ching!) and a top-notch position. You might also generate some sort of media buzz for your work too. Work with Venus to level-up in your career and capitalize on the stellar reputation you’ve been building.

Still, that’s not all. On September 10, confident Mars moves back into Aquarius, your zone for confidence and self-image. With Mars moving forward and back on your team, you’re virtually unstoppable. Not only will you have an increase in physical energy, but you should experience an increase in bad-ass energy too. Remember the lessons you’ve learned from Mars retrograde and move forward with more confidence and determination than you have in the past. Come September 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of travel and education. With Mercury helping you to get curious about the world again, you might find fun in a class or workshop setting, learning something new. Mercury will also help you with planning the perfect trip if you’ve been dying to get away. Overall, you’re in need of some fresh air now and Libra season will light the way for you, especially with the radiant Sun entering Libra on September 22. On the 24th, the fiery Full Moon in Aries lights up your zone of communication, illuminating the ways you hold yourself back with fear and negative thinking. This moon will push you to break that cycle.

Pisces:

It’s Team Pisces for most of this month as a team of planets camp out in Virgo, your zone of partnership. The party begins on September 5, as chatty Mercury enters Virgo, joining the Sun. With these two powerhouses in your zone of significant relationships, you could find yourself negotiating deals and contracts that could help to put some extra cash in your pocket. At the same time, the Sun and Mercury will be working together to introduce you to an influential person that could help you grow and shine on a professional level. Keep your eye out for people whose talents or expertise either compliment or exceed yours. In other words, no leveling down Pisces. Look to the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 to help you with establishing new connections and entering agreements. Since this zone of your chart also covers romantic relationships, this new moon could bring you a new boo. For Pisces that are already with the love of their lives, this moon could mark a fresh and exciting chapter in your relationship. Also, on September 9, fun-loving Venus enters Scorpio, your zone of travel and opportunity. Venus will be on hand to help you delve into your passions, find freedom in being yourself, and open yourself up to new adventures.

On the 10th, Mars re-enters Aquarius and steps back into your zone of rest and retreat. While this is not an easy spot for Mars to be, utilize the energy by being more demanding about your self-care and alone time. If anger comes up now, this is a good time to work on releasing resentment but watch out for passive aggressiveness. It’s OK to be a bitch every now and again. Even a goddess must carry a machete from time to time. Come the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of intimacy and rebirth. If debt and financial management have been an issue, Mercury will help you to be more accountable with your cash, so you can save more and get out of debt faster. Taking a money management course or working with a financial expert could also be helpful. The following day, the Sun enters Libra putting the spotlight on your deepest desires. Know that you deserve to have what you want and that includes healthy, well-balanced relationships. If you’ve been giving too much of yourself for too little, let the Sun in Libra help you to regain your strength and your confidence to do right by you. The Full Moon in Aries landing in your zone of income and self-worth on September 24 will help you to put you first.
