Here's Your September Horoscope

It’s been a slow retrograde summer, but that’s winding down. September offers us a glimpse of clarity and a transformation of our priorities. Romantic Venus leads the way, turning direct on Sept. 3. If you’re dating, you’ll develop a greater understanding of your values and desires, as well as a sharper awareness of your needs in a relationship. On Sept. 4, Jupiter serves up a major review of your manifestations when it begins its retreat through materialistic Taurus. This is a powerful moment for you to explore how your beliefs may have hardened into undeniable truths and interfered with your ability to keep an open mind.

On Sept. 14, the new moon in responsible Virgo will help you set plans in motion and settle into a productive routine. Leave room for the unexpected in your planning, as sudden breakthroughs will steer you in a new direction. As Mercury stabilizes on Sept. 15, bringing an end to its pesky retrograde, you’ll have more faith in your ability to get things done without micromanaging the process and overthinking about potential errors.

Thankfully, harmonious Libra season arrives on Sept. 23 to soothe this month’s critical energy and restore your inner balance. Ease up your workload with lighter socializing and carefree flirting, and monitor your people-pleasing tendencies. The powerful Aries full moon brings the month to a dramatic end on Sept. 29, firing you up to take a risk and make the most of your circumstances. As long as you’re able to keep your aggravation and impulses under control, there’s no better time to rise up to face challenges with energy and confidence.

Happy birthday, Libra!

Once Mercury retrograde ends on Sept. 15, you won’t be so caught up in your work or oblivious to other areas of your life, allowing you to give more attention to your loved ones who have been vying for your attention.

Be honest about what worries you; you cannot heal a fear that you’re denying. Flirtatious Libra season is here to lighten the mood, encouraging you to find joy in dating and expressing yourself creatively.

While pursuing your ambitions, you may have realized your feelings toward the end goal have changed. Thankfully, this month is here to help you regain perspective around your dreams.

Leo September Horoscope (July 23-Aug. 22)

The praise and recognition you’re looking for are well-deserved, but do you equally value your self-love? Impressing yourself with your diligent efforts is what matters most, Leo.

Libra September Horoscope (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re tasked with breaking free from unconscious patterns of self-criticism this month. Notice what impact your inner monologue has over you — is it empowering? Or does it cause you to doubt yourself and question your worth? As your self-awareness expands, so will your understanding of your beliefs around intimacy. If you’ve held back and shown a reluctance to open up to others on a deeper level, consider whether this pattern exists solely within your relationships or if you also struggle to affirm your own feelings and desires.

Scorpio September Horoscope (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

As you hone in on the principles that serve as the foundation of your relationships, you’ll cultivate more appreciation for the connections in your life. You have so many beautiful ones already.

Finding the right balance between time spent with loved ones and in peaceful solitude will teach you mindfulness — living in the moment without wishing you were elsewhere.

Have you spent enough time giving back and nurturing your relationships with your coworkers?

You must develop your leadership skills by being calm and understanding; making too many demands could aggravate people.

Aquarius September Horoscope (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Acknowledge how much you’ve grown by reflecting on how your worldview and spiritual beliefs have evolved as you’ve matured.

Pisces September Horoscope (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pisces, has materialism and competition distracted you from the bigger picture of what truly matters in life?

When you review your values1, pay attention to your loved ones who may be quietly calling out for support. Huge opportunities to deepen the intimacy between you and your significant other will emerge through joint projects and errands you can complete together.
