Discover the top priorities for your sign this tumultuous month.
The month will kick off with a little jolt as the brooding Scorpio Moon forms a harsh T-square with restrictive Saturn and rebellious Uranus. These tense vibes could send shock waves through people on both a personal and collective scale. Try to remain flexible if upheaval finds you. Attempting to control chaotic situations could cause your foundations to rock more violently. Fortunately, as the Sun continues its journey through Virgo, you’ll have an opportunity to tidy up any messes that kick off the month for you.
Sweet Venus makes its way into Virgo on September 4, bringing through themes around teamwork, especially when it comes to love and your closest companions. Equal exchange will play a major role in the success of your partnerships, though you may need to discuss what the expectations of both you and your counterpart look like, even if doing so opens the door for compromise on your end. Try not to give too many free passes to anyone who isn’t able to live up to your expectations. Accountability will be important right now. You may also want to exercise caution when it comes to using your voice beginning September 9, when Mercury begins its retrograde motion through Libra. While it’s definitely okay to speak up when the need arises, you’ll want to think through your words before sharing them.
A dreamy and compassionate energy will take hold during the Pisces Full Moon on September 10 as the stars align to promote peace, tranquility, and healing. Unfortunately, this lunar event will also come with a big dose of emotions, which could bring out moody behaviors. A deceptive element will also come into play, so if your intuition begins to tell you that something is off, there’s a distinct possibility that you’re onto something. Don’t let politeness stop you from poking holes in any lies someone tries to sell you, though it may be easier to leave sketchy people or situations behind without feeling the need to explain why.
The first part of your month may feel like a juggling act, but harmony will begin to take hold once the Sun enters Libra on September 22. This luminary placement will usher in an era of grace and beauty, though you’ll need to find balance on a personal, professional, and internal level in order to reap these rewards to the fullest. Self-care should be at the top of your priorities throughout this astrological period. However, the romantic energy of this cosmic climate will also direct your focus toward matters of the heart. Good vibes will continue to flow once love-oriented Venus enters Libra on September 29, supercharging these sentiments while infusing the air with romance.
You’ll become more in tune with your body this month, dear Aries, as the Virgo Sun travels through the sector of your chart that governs health. This hyper-observant energy will cause you to feel more sensitive to minor aches and pains, shining a light on chronic issues that may be contributing to discomfort, such as poor posture, decreased range of motion, shallow breathing patterns, or physical symptoms of stress. Though you may already be aware of the fact that you sometimes slouch at your desk, this cosmic climate will provide you with an opportunity to implement small changes that will help to elevate your overall quality of life.
As Venus moves into Virgo on September 4, you’ll be asked to show your body some serious love. For instance, if you’ve fallen behind on taking vitamins, this energy will encourage you to restock and find consistency in your wellness practices. Stretching and breath work will become invaluable tools when it comes to releasing tension that’s been plaguing you, making it important that you get into a steady habit of practicing head rolls, shoulder stretches, and hip oscillations throughout the workday. Look for an opportunity to make your body happy as often as possible, paying special attention to what it needs in the moment.
Your heart will begin to expand as the Sun enters Libra on September 22, marking the start of fall and a romantic month ahead. Whether you’re single or in a committed relationship, your aura will become saturated with the beauty that follows fresh love, bringing a soft glow to your aura. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself blushing more often, and give yourself permission to indulge in some innocent flirting whenever the opportunity arises. If you’re currently coupled up, use this cosmic climate to revitalize the connection between you and your sweetie by going out on more dates and exchanging small affections with more frequency.
You’ll be a busy bee this month, dear Taurus, as the Virgo Sun illuminates your solar fifth house, encouraging you to socialize and nurture the bonds you share with your besties. However, this cosmic climate will also ask you to take the reins when it comes to organizing gatherings with your loved ones, though you’ll want to aim for outings that are unique and don’t involve too much partying. The earthy energy at play sets the perfect ambience for outdoor activities, so be sure to fill what remains of your summer with barbecues, picnics, hiking, or perhaps a bit of volleyball on the beach.
The Pisces Full Moon on September 10 will shift your focus to professional matters as Lady Luna shines some light on your occupational ambitions. An opportunity to forge new alliances in your field will come more organically, so you may want to look for ways to expand your circle through online chat forums or industry meetups. A compassionate energy will also come into play, and people will be in a more flexible mood than usual, which could work to your advantage when it comes to closing deals or asking for a salary increase.
Between your social obligations and personal goals, it’s likely that your stress levels will begin to elevate as the month progresses. Luckily, you’ll be given a cosmic opportunity to unwind and get organized once the Sun enters Libra on September 22, marking the official start of fall. Use this energy to reconnect with your big picture, finding ways to break it up into smaller milestones. Creating a general outline for the weeks and months ahead can help alleviate any stress or anxieties about the path ahead, providing you with a foundation from which you can move forward. You’ll also have an opportunity to cut out more time for self-care, which is a major theme whenever Libra energy lingers in the air.
It’s time to deep clean your space, dear Gemini, as the Virgo Sun illuminates the sector of your chart that governs domestic bliss. However, it would be easy to become disinterested in or overwhelmed by the tasks that accompany this goal, making it important that you outline a series of chores to complete before this tidy energy fades. Don’t be afraid to empty your cabinets and drawers in the spirit of decluttering, doing away with any socks or earrings that are missing their partner. If cleaning doesn’t appeal to your sense of motivation, satisfaction will find you once you restore some sparkle to your space.
September 7 will bring unforeseen opportunities your way as the Sun shares supportive aspects with the nodes of fate. However, the blessings in store for you might not be obvious at the time and will be contingent on how hard you’re willing to work for your dreams. Whether you’re hoping to learn a new skill, make peace with the past, or gain recognition amongst your peers, it’ll be important that you take action right now, even if it’s only with a few baby steps.
The sweet smell of autumn will bring a charge to your aura September 22 when the Sun enters Libra, marking the official start of fall. This solar placement will shine bright in the sector of your chart that governs ego and creativity, giving you a chance to feel good about yourself and your unique set of talents. Allow beauty to flow within and through you, bringing a bit of grace and sparkle wherever you go. You’ll also be blessed with a soft allure, which could open doors to new love interests. Don’t be afraid to throw a line in the dating pool if you’re in the mood for love. You may just catch a winner.
Your chatty side will come out to play this month, sweet crab, as the Virgo Sun illuminates the sector of your chart that governs communication and thought process. This cosmic climate is perfect for making new friends, especially if you’re known for bouts of solitude or shyness.

If there’s someone special in your life, look for ways to show you care, whether it be through actions or words.
The Pisces Full Moon on September 10 will bring a sparkle to the atmosphere as Luna shines bright in the sector of your chart that governs spirituality and enlightenment. You’ll be in a unique position to lean into harmony right now, giving you an opportunity to fill your heart with a sense of connectivity through deep conversations and emotional exchange.

However, you’ll want to avoid being vulnerable with anyone who doesn’t respect your unique belief system, or you could end up in a major blowout.
The crisp scent of fall will begin to permeate the air once the fall equinox and Libra season emerge September 22, activating the sector of your chart that governs domestic bliss. These vibes will bring out the homebody who lives within you, giving you cosmic permission to tune out the larger world in favor of nurturing your small corner of it. Look for ways to honor the season by bringing autumn-inspired scents and decorations into your space and indulging in your favorite childhood movies or activities from this time of year. Nostalgia will be particularly comforting and sweet, but try not to get too sucked into the past.
Virgo season could alter your perspective around what’s valuable, dear Leo, causing you to question the sacrifices you’ve made in order to earn money and whether these choices have paid off. Though it’s important to take your financial situation seriously right now, try not to hyper-fixate on monetary mistakes you made in the past or you may slip into an anxiety-inducing cycle of guilt and regret. Fair compensation at work will also be a major theme, which could cause you to finally ask for that raise you’ve been working up the courage to request. If you’ve hit a dead end around salary negotiations with a longtime employer, try not to let loyalty hold you back from seeking a position elsewhere that pays more.
The vibe will feel emotional and intense during the Pisces Full Moon on September 10, which could bring out your darker side. A sense of mystery will linger in the air, putting you in a moody yet empowered headspace. Watch out for obsessive, jealous, or possessive behaviors, and don’t give in to any temptation you may feel to snoop on your ex. On the plus side, you’ll also be given a unique opportunity to transform and evolve your perspective, allowing you to finally release any issues you never received closure on.
The vibe will feel much lighter once the Sun enters Libra on September 22, bringing harmony and grace to your solar third house. This cosmic climate will help you approach life’s problems from a more flexible place, giving you a chance to finesse your way into the results you want.

However, leading someone on with an ulterior motive will only bring you bad karma.
As the Sun continues its journey through Virgo, marking the last stretch of summer, a little bit of sadness may settle in your heart.

It’ll be important that you pay attention to what gives your spirit energy right now, whether it’s dinner with your bestie or a night alone to work on your latest passion project. Prioritizing your needs will play a huge role in your happiness at the moment, so try not to feel guilty about declining social invitations, saying no, or silencing your communication devices.
Watch out for choppy waters, miscommunications, and texts from your ex once Mercury, your planetary ruler, enters its retrograde motion September 9. Luckily, you’ll have an opportunity to connect with your sense of balance during the Pisces Full Moon on September 10, which can help you hold your ground during this pesky astrological period. As Lady Luna shines bright in the sector of your chart that governs love and harmony, set an intention to follow your joy throughout the next six months, making peace with the fact that doing so may require you to leave certain people or scenarios behind.
A luxurious and rich energy will come into play once autumn manifests September 22, putting you in the mood for soft sweaters, gourmet hot chocolate, and all things fine. This solar placement marks a period in which it’s okay to spoil yourself, so don’t feel guilty about indulging in shopping sprees, gourmet treats, or a fine wine from time to time. Remember that it’s okay to validate your worth through material items, but keep in mind that these things don’t necessarily reflect what is important at a core level.
You’re not usually one to throw yourself a pity party, but with the Virgo Sun traveling through the sector of your chart that governs the subconscious, it’s totally understandable if you need to.

Don’t be surprised if your aesthetic takes a small hit once Venus enters Virgo on September 4, as you may find that you’re not in the mood to gussy up to the extent you usually would.

If you’ve been spending too many nights alone on the couch, this would be the time to pick yourself up and start thinking about rejoining society. Don’t worry, though. You’ll need to prepare yourself only for light socialization. The universe won’t ask you to start going out again for another week and a half.

However, political or moral differences may lead to a few fallings-out, making it important that you take a look at what triggers these divides. If you genuinely care about someone but have issues with their voting history or humanitarian views, it may be time to implement boundaries in order to restrict certain topics.
Though this month won’t be without its triggers and frustrations, you’ll be blessed with some truly magical energy during the Pisces Full Moon on September 10.
