Welcome to your September horoscopes! It’s hard to believe that we have officially entered the harvest phase of the year, and that the wheat will soon need threshing. Let’s not beat around the bush, then, for the wheat is calling.
On September 17th, note that there is a rather rocky, though not catastrophic partial lunar eclipse. The Moon governs over our emotional life. When it’s eclipsed by the Sun, we can feel our needs aren’t being seen by those we love and admire. This cosmic blip only lasts a day, but expect a somewhat adrift mood around then.
On September 3rd, there is a New Moon in Virgo to start the month. This is your day to set intentions for the next couple weeks. Virgo is our most industrious sign, so make sure your intentions align with this kind of energy. No hazy, dreamy plans. Concrete, actionable items!
And, then, of course, we have penned your more detailed cosmic forecast for September below. As we are in Virgo season until the 22nd of the month, we will begin our horoscope in honour of it. Enjoy, and, as always, stay-starry eyed!
VIRGO
You start the month off hot, Virgo, with the Sun all up in your Selfhood zone. Whenever you have this solar placement, expect to feel even more Virgo: ultra practical, solutions-oriented, doubly tidy, perfectionistic. For the first three weeks of September, therefore, think about getting your life in Virgo order for the final stretch of the calendar year. Tie up the loose-ends of summer, say, or find a perfect sweater with adorable little burgundy penny loafers for a new autumn look. On the 22nd, the Sun switches into Libra, where it activates your Money zone. Libra energy can be indecisive, meaning you may likely feel fretful about purchases toward month’s end. Advice: Get that autumn sweater and those loafers now. Don’t wait until then.
LIBRA
A tale of two transits. That should be the title of your month. The best of times begins September 22nd. That’s when the Sun crests into your sign to start your season. You can expect to feel your brightest, most resplendent self toward month’s end. In Libra terms that means more social dexterity, as well as harmony with your surroundings. This is going to be a happy, joyous transit… But what about the other one I mentioned at the beginning of your horoscope? Yeah, that’s not so good. The Sun will be in your shadowy 12th House of Secrets. The first three weeks of September are going to be a somewhat lonely time: Imagine a party balloon, helium somewhat depleted, in the corner of a low-ceilinged apartment.
SCORPIO
Until the 22nd, the practical Virgo Sun energises your Friendship zone. The love language of Virgo is “acts of service” and it might do you well to learn a few key phrases in this lingo. “Do you need help with the home renovation you’re doing? I can be there at 10am on Saturday to lend a hand!” Or maybe: “You need me to pick up your kid at school, so you can go to your Botox appointment? I got you!” Your Scorpionic nature tends to speak in different phraseology (one of motives and other psychological complexities). Simplify things with friends instead and speak Virgo’s language. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into the shadowy realm of your chart known as the zone of Secrets and the Unconscious. You can return to your darker Scorpionic ways then.
SAGITTARIUS
With the supremely practical Virgo Sun lighting up your Career zone until the 22nd, take the next three weeks to focus on work, but not in a philosophical, high-minded manner (as is your Sagittarius nature). No, no. Virgo energy is about clever solutions, work-hacks, time-saving techniques, and efficiency. It’s a detail-oriented sign. Grandiose visions should have no place in your approach to the office. Rather, you should be ticking off boxes and getting small tasks done, especially as lazy August is ending and everyone is returning to work with renewed vigour. On the 22nd, the Sun shimmies into social Libra, where it will power-up your Friendship zone. Libra is all about finding balance. Look to do the same with friends toward month’s end. One place to start: listen more. Sagittarians love to opine. But maybe your friends have some serious stuff they need to talk about instead. Learn the power of a sympathetic nod.
CAPRICORN
Until the 22nd, the no-nonsense Sun-in-Virgo shines bright in your zone of Knowledge and Spirituality. Align with this solar placement by engaging in a bit of practical spiritual seeking. Rather than helping one reach Nirvana, meditation, for example, can be good for relieving hyper-tension and improving focus. This is the kind of pragmatic approach to spirituality that dovetails with Virgo energy, as well as your earthy Capricorn nature. If you get enlightened in the next few weeks and experience the ineffable bliss of cosmic consciousness along the way, consider that a side benefit. On the 22nd, the Sun rolls into balanced Libra, where it activates your Career zone. Libra can be indecisive (bad version) or diplomatic (good version). Play the diplomat at work, rather than the worried neurotic fretting over your place in the corporate hierarchy.
AQUARIUS
The Sun-in-Virgo highlights your zone of Intimacy until the 22nd. This part of the chart is complicated. It pertains to sharing things with an intimate partner: fantasies and fears. Let’s keep in mind here, too, that Virgo’s love language is “acts of service.” The next few weeks might involve you playing a more subordinate role with a partner, allowing them space to share or articulate matters of the heart. On the 22nd, the Sun gallivants into the sign of Libra, where it energises your zone of Knowledge and Spirituality. Libra (aka the Scales) always seeks balance. Toward month’s end, seek the same by creating proper time and space for a set of spiritual practices that calm mind and body.
PISCES
Dreamy Pisces, it looks like you’re going to get a dose of the reality-principle for the first three weeks of the month, as the practical Sun-in-Virgo energises your Relationship zone. Virgo doesn’t get all starry-eyed and romantic about things. It asks if something works or not. And, if it’s not working, it influences us to fix it. How is your relationship running? Does it need an oil change? Treat your love life like a car—-look under the hood, and make some adjustments and repairs, if necessary. On the 22nd, the Sun heads into lovely Libra, where it activates your Intimacy zone. Libra inspires us to be more balanced, to give and take until we get things just right. In the end, that’s what intimacy is all about, too. Here’s to giving and taking, to intimacy, to finding some equilibrium with your companion, to harmony.
ARIES
For your ambitious, action-oriented Aries nature, the next three weeks are going to be strong to very strong for you. Why? The practical Virgo Sun jazzes up your 6th House of Routine. Now, many signs wouldn’t take well to this transit (too boring), but you like getting things done (as does Virgo). In this sense, Virgo+Aries+6th House=astrological joy. Ride this placement hard, get ahead, beckon the cosmos to help you accomplish tasks (both small and large). But keep a practical frame of mind. This isn’t a transit for big ideas. On the 22nd, the Sun enters into Libra, where it powers up your Relationship zone. You and Libra are opposites: the Aries nature is ego-centric, where Libra’s nature tends toward concern for the other. Split the difference and make things mostly about yourself and somewhat about your partner come late September.
TAURUS
Until the 22nd, the Sun lights up the Fun and Romance zone of your chart. Sounds great, right? But let’s read the fine print. This Sun camps out in the sign of Virgo, whose energy can be overly practical, solutions-oriented, somewhat perfectionistic. Hmmmm. That sounds like the opposite of fun and romance. But let’s read the fine print even more: the essence of Virgo energy is acts of service. The point here is that Fun and Romance are going to have a Virgo tinge to them. That means this will be a transit to suspend selfish pleasures somewhat and act in the service of a lover, friend, or help-mate. Let them call the shots a bit. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra, where it energises your Diet and Health zone. Libra is also known as the Scales (a kind of cosmic hint-hint after a summer of beer gardens and burrata perhaps?).
GEMINI
The Sun-in-Virgo blazes through the Home zone of your chart until the 22nd. A clear indication to get your living situation in order over the next couple weeks. Why? One of Virgo’s symbols: the Maid. Take some inspo from Virgo, then, and look at what your domicile needs to shine. Decluttering? Or maybe it needs a bit more life, as it’s too spare now? Given that you’re a Gemini, I’m guessing you probably have too much going on and need to minimise somewhat, but only you can make that judgement. I’m just the Messenger here. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra, where it will be impacting the Fun and Romance sector of your chart. A very nice transit. Libra is the quintessential sign for coupledom. Celebrate this solar placement with meaningful nights out (the Fun zone in one’s chart is not for staying inside).
CANCER
Your Cancerian nature is infamous for being somewhat indirect in the way you approach conversations. You get to the point slowly and sideways. There’s no shame in that game, of course, but if you want to align with the Cosmos somewhat over the next few weeks, consider this: The Virgo Sun highlights the Communication zone of your chart until the 22nd. Sun-in-Virgo placed here is like having the most efficient editor ever in your corner. It’s all about crisp comms with friends (and foes, for that matter). Rather than speaking and writing all crab-like and circuitous, then, trust instead that being direct and succinct with others could benefit you greatly around now. On the 22nd, the Sun somersaults into Libra, where it activates the Home zone of your chart. Libra is ruled by Venus (love, beauty, and harmony). Infuse your living space with Libra/Venus vibes. One slight interior design move can transform a place.
LEO
The practical Sun-in-Virgo lights up your Money zone until the 22nd. Your lavish Leo nature loves those lux Louis Vuitton heels (bejewelled and slick and attention-grabbing, natch). But Virgo energy in the Money sector of your chart will be suggesting a sensible and sturdy orthopaedic pair of brown flats made of a rubbery, scuff-resistant, waterproof material. You get the point. Excessive and flashy expenditure is not in line with this solar transit. On the 22nd, the Sun flits into Libra, where it will be activating your Communication zone. Libra energy is all about balancing viewpoints and building consensus. It’s diplomatic, where your Leo nature tends to be sovereign and monarchical. It sounds like you will need to stop decreeing by edict by the month’s end, adopting more measured tones fit for parliament.
