September Horoscopes
If I could sum up the energy of September in one word, it would be retrograde. Here is a list of retrograde planets:
Venus (July 22 - September 3)
Mercury (August 23 - September 15)
Jupiter (September 4 - December 30)
Saturn (June 17 - November 4)
Uranus (August 28 - January 26, 2024)
Neptune (June 30 - December 6)
Pluto (May 1 - October 10)
These retrograde cycles allow us to review decisions, adjust our lives, and cut back where necessary. Because Mercury is moving through Virgo, the sign of discernment, we are taking a hard look at our lives, aware of what we can cut back. It’s a time to declutter, detox, and clear.
On September 6, the Sun meets Mercury retrograde, and we’re halfway through the cycle. It’s a time to reflect on all the insights that have arisen. On September 8, the Sun forms a favorable trine to Jupiter, and we have more faith that things will work out. It’s a day that allows for synchronicity and flow.
The New Moon on September 14 features a trine to Uranus, making it full of surprises. What intentions will you set into motion? Life shows us new perspectives. This lunation is grounded in earth sign energy, with Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn. The Moon will be sliding through Virgo, forming trine aspects to those earth-sign planets as it closes one lunation cycle and starts another.
On September 19, the Sun opposes Neptune, making for a foggy end to Virgo season. Confusion could create tension; indecision could mean you’re not ready to take action. It could also mean there is more to the story. Trust in the unfolding of life’s events.
The Sun enters Libra at the equinox on September 22— we celebrate the balance of light and dark and the beginning of a new season. We’ll experience it as a deep breath. As an air sign, Libra pulls us into conversations. It inspires our curiosity to cultivate beauty. It’s a sign of harmony.
The month closes with the Aries Full Moon on September 29 — a lunation that brings out our inner warrior. The Sun stands close to Pallas, an asteroid related to wisdom and craft. We can lean into our work in a way that allows it to expand beyond the ego. It’s a time to act courageously, express yourself freely, and accept your mission. Destiny could take you through twists and turns next month during the eclipses. Be kind to yourself and stay dedicated to what makes you come alive.
