Monthly Horoscope

Buckle up, September is not here to play!With eclipse season underway, the cosmos is throwing curveballs that are just as chaotic as they are illuminating. This may result in major plot twists, turning points or shocking revelations you never saw coming.

The month kicks off with Saturn retrograde re-entering Pisces on Sept. 1, which isn’t the easiest of transits — it asks us to revisit boundaries, responsibilities and the foundation of our faith and spirituality.The taskmaster planet will eventually station direct in Pisces on Nov. 27.

On Sept. 2, Mercury returns to its sign of rulership, Virgo, maximizing our focus and precision, but its clash with change-maker Uranus the following day could lead to unexpected detours.

Fortunately, Jupiter’s trine to the North Node on Sept. 3 inspires a sense of hope and ambition.Uranus will also station retrograde on Sept. 6, where it will eventually re-enter Taurus on Nov. 7, and station direct on Feb. 3, 2026.This retrograde cycle stirs up unexpected shifts around the way we think, communicate and connect — it’s a chance to rewrite and reconsider our inner dialogue, the story we tell ourselves.

As for the highlight of the month, September’s dramatic total lunar eclipse in Pisces on Sept. 7 is undoubtedly the main event.In this elusive Water sign, emotional themes surrounding sacrifice, deception and the areas of life where we’ve been wearing rose-colored glasses will be of greater significance.More importantly, between now and the next six months, expect endings and profound revelations.

Towards the middle of September, the sun and Mercury will thrive in methodical Virgo, while also forming a harmonious sextile to lucky Jupiter on Sept. 12, inspiring a sense of optimism and emotional fulfilment.

The lovers of the cosmos — Mars and Venus — turn up the heat on Sept. 15, as the love planet forms a sweet sextile to go-getter Mars, sparking magnetic chemistry and flirtation.

On another note, however, Mercury will make a tricky opposition to Saturn retrograde the next day, which is equivalent to an unwanted but necessary reality check.Meanwhile, as Mercury slips into harmony-seeking Libra on Sept 18, conversations embrace a more light-hearted tone, preferring balance and diplomacy.This is followed by Venus’ ingress into Virgo the next day, encouraging more discernment when it comes to matters of love and money.

Last but certainly not least, a partial solar eclipse in Virgo on Sept. 21 delivers another fated reset, just a day before the autumnal equinox and the beginning of Libra season.

Mars will also return to its sign of rulership, Scorpio, on Sept. 22, where it exalts, thrives and embraces its fullest expression. Mars in Scorpio is a formidable adversary, making this an excellent time to tackle projects head-on and set the record straight wherever necessary.

A synergy of illusions and liberating breakthroughs arrives on Sept 21, when the sun opposes Neptune, while harmonizing with Uranus, but it doesn’t end there.The sun in Libra will also form a productive trine to powerhouse Pluto on Sept. 24, resulting in transformation and a sense of empowerment. Do keep in mind, though, that with Mars also clashing with Pluto on the same day, there is a need for courage and integrity, as shake-ups are inevitable.

The month comes to a close with a pragmatic first-quarter moon in Capricorn on Sept. 29, serving as a reminder to remain committed and disciplined when it comes to our goals and dreams.

In the meantime, read on for what September has in store for your zodiac sign.
