Month of September
Aries
There is a mix of the ordinary and the unexpected this month, but in a way that makes for what should be a good month. The most unexpected or unusual feature of September is the lack of movement. As we move into the new month there are only three planets in direct motion and only two planets will end the month in a different place from where they began.
Considering that in some months we have had up to nine planetary shifts and planets moving forward at either normal or a faster than normal speed, this means that the solar system is slowing right down and that creates stability and a chance to catch our breath.
One of the only planets moving forward at normal speed is Mars, but as he returned to your relationship sector late last month he will spend the whole month here, injecting his passion and drive into your relationships. This means that Mars will be here when the Sun returns on 23rd September, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships.
Meanwhile, the Sun will begin the month in your work sector, with the solar spotlight on your work situation and job matters until he leaves on 23rd September. It is having Mercury in retrograde motion here until 15th September that will keep this smart and intellectually savvy planet here all month.
This will put Mercury in harmony with Pluto, who is in his last full month in your career sector and with Uranus, who turned retrograde in your income sector last month and Jupiter, who will turn retrograde there on 5th September.
Also in retrograde motion as you move into the new month is Venus, with the planet of love's longest retrograde phase in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart since 1810 finally coming to an end on 4th September. However, as is the case with the planets on the income, work and career fronts, whether it is to turn direct or retrograde a planet has to slow right down, meaning that Venus will spend the whole month here. These are planets that would normally rush through the heavens but instead, they are taking their time.
Taurus
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart before ending the month in your busy work sector, this is a month when a balance between work and play will at some point come under the spotlight. Less because the Sun will shift its focus from one to the other and more because while this is a shift that the Sun will always make on the September equinox each year, you will almost always have either Venus or Mercury racing ahead or lingering behind. This year it is neither racing ahead and instead Mars, who late last month returned for his first visit to your work sector in two years to begin what could be some of the busiest months of the year.
While the Sun, along with Mercury and with help from Pluto will be working to keep the focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence, Mars is making this the busiest month of the year so far, whether at work or with anything that keeps you busy. However, by the same token because Mercury is in retrograde motion and will be staying put, when the Sun joins Mars in your work sector on 23rd September he will stay on to ensure life doesn't become all work and no play. Helping with that is Pluto, who in his last full month in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart is slowing to a crawl, as is Mercury ahead of his direct turn on 15th September.
It is on the same day that Mercury turns direct that a New Moon will give the Sun's final days in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart a boost, while making this a chance to commit to making a balance between work and play a priority. Mercury and Pluto aren't the only planets in retrograde motion this month, with Venus still in retrograde motion in your home and family sector until 4th September while other planets are in the process of turning retrograde. Most significant of those for you is Jupiter's retrograde turn in Taurus on 5th September, just days after Uranus turned retrograde here late last month.
After returning to Taurus in May, Jupiter brings a chance to pull back and retrace your steps.
Gemini
With so many planets in the solar system either in retrograde motion or slowing down in order to either turn direct or retrograde, there won't be a lot of change this month with the Sun and the dwarf planet Ceres the only two that will end the month in a different part of your chart from where they began. This is something that is rare and with the planets all staying where they are at the start of the month, this means that from the start what you see is what you get and because the planets aren't rushing through, there is time to adjust. The one planet still at top speed is Mars, but because he only began his six and a half week visit to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart late last month, he will spend the whole month here.
This is definitely something that you can and will enjoy getting used to. Meanwhile, the two planets that have come to an absolute standstill are Venus and Jupiter, Venus ahead of her direct turn in your communication sector on 4th September and Jupiter because of his retrograde turn in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 5th September. At the same time, slowing down is Mercury who is slowly applying the brakes ahead of his direct turn in your home and family sector on 15th September.
Mercury is normally the fastest planet in the solar system, moving through in just 14 to 15 days and giving you just enough time to work with him to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open.
With the Sun in your home and family sector until 23rd September, no matter how long Mercury was here this would be an advantage, but even though he will turn direct on the same day as a New Moon on 15th September, he will spend the rest of the month here. Meanwhile, also applying the brakes is Pluto who in his last full month in retrograde motion in your financial sector is slowing down ahead of a direct turn early next month.
Apart from the Sun, who will leave your home and family sector and return to a playful and creative part of your chart on 23rd September, the only planet to end the month in a different place from where they began is the dwarf planet Ceres, who on 16th September will leave a playful and creative part of your chart and return to your work sector.
Cancer
The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your communication sector, something that can benefit almost every aspect of your life. As well as putting the spotlight on communication, this also gives you more clarity while this smart and intellectually savvy part of your chart makes it easier to think on your feet. It is an advantage then to have Mercury, the planet of communication and smart thinking and ruler of this part of your chart here all month.
However, in retrograde motion here until 15th September, this does mean that you will be more closely impacted by both the advantages and disadvantages of a Mercury retrograde phase. This is a time when you might be more prone to mixed messages, misunderstandings and mistakes but only if you rush things.
If you take your time this can be a valuable chance to spend time back at the drawing board and to give the past and unsaid words a voice.
With Pluto in his last full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, Uranus his first in retrograde motion in your friendship sector and Jupiter turning retrograde there on 5th September, this is part of a wider chance to reconnect with the past. These are not the only planets in retrograde motion this month with Venus, the planet of money still in retrograde motion in your income sector as you move into the new month as are both planets in your career sector. While both planets in your career sector will remain in retrograde motion for the rest of the year, Venus will turn direct on 4th September.
This will give income potential the green light, though with the doors still open to the past, second chances and untapped potential until then. However, while Venus will turn direct, she will remain here all month and will be here to help you exploit any income potential from a Full Moon in your career sector on 29th September. Meanwhile, in a month where most planets are spending the whole month where they are from the start the two exceptions are the Sun, who will leave your communication sector and return to your home and family sector on 23rd September and the dwarf planet Ceres, who will leave your home and family sector and return to a playful and creative part of your chart on 16th September.
Leo
September is not only a month where there is very little cosmic movement but the stars themselves are moving slowly. With the majority of the solar system either in retrograde motion or slowing down in order to turn direct or retrograde, this creates a sense of certainty. The Sun will always move from one area of your chart to another once a month, Mercury usually every 14 to 15 days, Venus every 24 days and Mars every six weeks.
To have Mars, Mercury and Venus spend the whole month in the same place is rare and can only happen for one of two reasons. For Mars, this is possible if he is either in retrograde motion or because as he will spend six weeks in an area of your chart he has just returned before you move into the new month and that is exactly what has happened this time.
It was late last month that Mars returned to your communication sector for the first time in two years, with his war on communication barriers just getting started as you move into the new month.
Not leaving until 12th October, Mars will still be here when the Sun returns on 23rd September and when the dwarf planet Ceres, the only planet on the move this month leaves on 16th September. For Venus and Mercury, the only way they can spend the whole month in one part of your chart is because of a retrograde phase and they are not only spending the whole month where they are, but Venus has been in Leo since early June and Mercury has been in your income sector since July.
Both Venus and Mercury are slowing as we move into the new month, Venus ahead of her direct turn on 4th September and Mercury ahead of his direct turn on 15th September.
For Venus, this is a chance to take your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane while not leaving until 9th October, this is giving matters of the heart and your relationships a massive boost. Meanwhile, while Mercury will turn direct on the same day as a New Moon in your income sector and just as the Sun moves into his final week here, his retrograde phase is an opportunity to work with Pluto in his last full month in retrograde motion in your work sector and with Uranus, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your career sector and Jupiter, who will turn retrograde there on 5th September.
Virgo
With the Sun always spending the first three weeks of September in Virgo, no matter when your birthday falls this is your birthday month and the launch of your new solar year. This year you have a mix of influences that have both given you a head start and a chance to hold back on setting anything in concrete. By the time the Sun returned to Virgo to begin your birthday month and new solar year Mars had already been here for over a month, with the warrior planet of the cosmos having already taken a bulldozer to roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined in an attempt to forge new paths.
Mars left last month but not before giving you a sense of what's possible and something to strive for.
At the same time, you not only have Mercury in retrograde motion in Virgo until 15th September but held back by her own retrograde phase Venus won't return to give your heart a voice until 9th October. Mercury will turn direct on the same day as a New Moon will offer a chance to commit to your new solar year, the future and the journey ahead, but as he is here for the rest of the month and Venus is yet to arrive, this is more a chance to draw a new line in the sand than set anything in stone.
Meanwhile, it is on 23rd September that the Sun will join Mars in your income sector, who will have been here for nearly four weeks, giving you the drive and motivation to fight for what you deserve.
Helping both Mars and the Sun, who will turn the solar spotlight onto your income situation, matters and options when he returns is the dwarf planet Ceres, who will finally wrap up her deep dive into your income needs and priorities on 16th September. Ceres' focus is less on the money and more on understanding your priorities, which is making it easier to know where to channel Mars' warrior and competitive spirit.
Meanwhile, helping to keep the focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence is Pluto, who in his last full month in retrograde motion in a playful and creative part of your chart is being supported by Uranus, in his first month in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart and by Jupiter who will turn retrograde there on 5th September.
Libra
September is a month when the lines between the past, present and future are often blurred, for this is the month when one lunar year ends and the next begins, making this a time for looking back but also for looking forward. While the Sun won't return to Libra to begin your birthday month and new solar year until 23rd September, as it does on the September equinox each year, the month not only begins with Mars already in Libra but thanks to the dwarf planet Ceres, with a clear sense of what you are fighting for from the start. While not a major player, Ceres is set to have a huge impact on your future and all because of the extraordinary amount of time that she has spent in your sign.
Ceres first returned to Libra in December to begin her first deep dive into your personal needs and priorities in four years and three months later, as you would expect, she left. However, instead of waiting four years for her return Ceres put the brakes on, did a U turn and retrograded back in for a second visit in June and as you move into the new month she is still here. More importantly, Ceres was here when Mars returned to begin a new two year Mars cycle and while she will leave on 16th September, when your birthday month and new solar year begins a week later it will not only be with a sense of your needs and priorities from the start but with Mars already fighting to turn this into reality.
However, even after she leaves Ceres will be impacting the future but this time, thanks to her return to your income sector on 16th September, where her focus will be less on the money and more on understanding your income needs and priorities. This won't kick off the most lucrative months of the year but by the time that the Sun, Mercury and Mars return next month, with those needs and priorities already established they will have no trouble doing just that. Meanwhile, while Venus will start the month in retrograde motion in your friendship sector, she will turn direct on 4th September, continuing her support for friendship and relationship building all month.
Scorpio
While the majority of the planets in the solar system are either in retrograde motion or slowing down in order to turn direct or retrograde, the Sun is the one constant in the heavens. The Sun never speeds up or slows down, never turns retrograde and always sticks to the same precise timetable that will see him return to your same part of the sky at the same time, give or take a few hours each year. This means that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your friendship sector while on 23rd September and always on the September equinox, he will return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year.
It is the other planets that add shades of grey to this and because of that, things are never that clear cut.
The Sun's departure from your friendship sector isn't going to end the focus on your social life, friendship, teamwork and networking and with Mars already in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart and the wind down of this current two year Mars cycle underway, the job of closing old doors has already begun. Yet even on the social front there is a lot of focus on the past this month, as there is across many areas of your life.
You not only have Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion in your friendship sector until 15th September, but just as Pluto has reached his last full month in retrograde motion in your communication sector.
With Uranus having turned retrograde in your relationship sector late last month and Jupiter turning retrograde here on 5th September, across the communication, friendship and relationship fronts the doors are open to the past even before the wind down of your old solar year begins. And they are not the only planets in retrograde motion this month, with both planets in your work sector in retrograde motion while Venus has come to a standstill ahead of her direct turn in your career sector on 4th September.
Apart from the Sun, the only planet on the move this month is the dwarf planet Ceres, whose return to Scorpio on 16th September is a chance for a deep dive into your personal needs and priorities ahead of the Sun, Mercury and Mars' return next month.
Sagittarius
Apart from the Sun and the dwarf planet Ceres, every planet in the solar system will end the month where it began and only one of those planets is moving at anything even close to its normal speed. Every other planet in the solar system is either in retrograde motion or is slowing down in order to either turn direct or retrograde, creating a month where there is very little change and things in the heavens are moving extremely slowly. This might not sound like good news, but it is, for it means that the roller coaster ride of recent months is over, there is stability and we have time to find our feet.
Because Mercury will normally only spend 14 to 15 days in one area of your chart and Venus just 24 days, to have both not only spend the whole of September but having spent the whole of August in the same place can only be for one reason and that is a retrograde phase.
Venus and Mercury are just two of a host of planets in retrograde motion as you move into the new month and while they will both turn direct this month because they have had to slow down to make a U turn they are here all month. For Venus, this means that while she will turn direct in an adventurous part of your chart on 4th September she won't leave until 9th October, when her longest visit here in our lifetime will finally come to an end.
Venus is working closely with the two planets in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart, something that is helping to keep the focus on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence and just as well.
This will help to ensure life doesn't become all work and no play for not only is Mercury staying on in your career sector all month but is working closely with Pluto, in his last full month in retrograde motion in your income sector, with Uranus who turned retrograde in your work sector late last month and Jupiter, who will turn retrograde there on 5th September. While Venus is keeping the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence alive, Mercury is at the centre of a powerful month across the income, work and career fronts.
Meanwhile, the one planet moving at normal speed is Mars, who returned to your relationship sector late last month and will be joined by the Sun, who after starting the month in your work sector will join him on 23rd September.
Capricorn
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery before returning to your career sector on 23rd September, there is always an awareness of the importance of having the right work/life balance. While the Sun will always leave an adventurous part of your chart and return to your career sector on the September equinox each year, this doesn't mean that on 23rd September the adventurous side of life's fence is forgotten and it is then all about having your professional hat on. At the same time that it is not unusual to have the spirit of adventure linger it is also not unusual to have movement on the career front before the Sun returns and this month is no exception, except the period of overlap covers the entire month.
It was late last month that for the first time in two years, Mars returned to your career sector and as he won't leave until 12th October, he will spend the whole month fuelling your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit. This has given this professional year its second wind while giving the Sun's return on 23rd September a massive head start. However, even before Mars returned, with the dwarf planet Ceres here since June and then having previously spent the first three months of the year here, her deep dive into your professional needs and priorities has already laid down the foundations for growth that will continue for months.
However, in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart until 15th September and not leaving until early next month, Mercury will not only stay on after the Sun leaves on 23rd September but just as Uranus has turned retrograde in a playful and creative part of your chart late last month and with Jupiter turning retrograde there on 5th September. While your professional year is catching its second wind, the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence is proving just as resilient. With the lunar nodes now policing your work/life balance and a Full Moon on 29th September putting this to the test, this is something that is key to getting the most out of everything that this month has to offer.
Aquarius
Because the Sun and the dwarf planet Ceres are the only ones that will end the month in a different part of your chart than where they began there is a lot more focus on them than would normally be the case. Yet in a month where planets are not only staying where they are but the majority of the planets in the solar system are either in retrograde motion or are slowing in order to turn direct or retrograde, all that the Sun and Ceres are doing is swapping places. As is always the case, the Sun will spend the first three weeks of September in your friendship sector, with the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters until he leaves on 23rd September.
With Mercury in retrograde motion here until 15th September but not leaving until early next month, you have all month to work with his smart head for money, whether back at the drawing board or forward to the next steps.
It is then that the Sun will return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery, as he does on the September equinox each year. However, this year it will be to not only find that Mars has been here, fuelling a passion for adventure and a hunger for life's richer experiences since last month but just a week after the dwarf planet Ceres finally wrapped up a deep dive into what you want and need from life on 16th September.
Because she is not a major player and because Mars will continue to fuel a passion for adventure, Ceres is likely to have quietly slipped into your career sector and her return will have just a subtle influence.
Ceres is not a planet that is interested in making things happen, with her focus internal rather than external. However, by returning to your career sector on 16th September Ceres is able to begin her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years, with a focus on professional satisfaction and a sense of purpose ahead of the Sun, Mercury and Mars' return next month.
It is then that her true worth will be appreciated, as it is now on the adventurous front. Meanwhile, in the same way that Mercury is starting the month in retrograde motion in your financial sector and will stay on with the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game Venus, the planet of love begins the month still in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. While Venus will turn direct on 4th September she too will stay on, with the support of the two planets still in retrograde motion in your communication sec.
Pisces
Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year, though with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge and a lot more to come even after he leaves on 23rd September. By the time you move into the new month Mars has just left, with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos having just spent seven weeks helping you fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. You also begin the month with Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion here and while he will turn direct on 15th September, the same day that a New Moon offers a chance to draw a new line in the sand, he will remain here all month.
At the same time, held back by her own retrograde phase Venus won't return until 9th October, with the best still to come on the relationship front. Instead, three months after returning for what is normally a 24 day visit to your work sector in early June, Venus is not only still here but has come to a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 4th September. Like Mercury, Venus has to slowly come to a standstill in order to make a U turn and then slowly build up speed on the other side, keeping her here for the rest of the month.
This is giving you a chance to continue to exploit potential on not just the job front but as the planet of money, Venus will be working closely with both the North Node and the two planets in retrograde motion in your income sector.
Venus will still be here when the Moon returns to your income sector on 29th September as a Full Moon, something that could act as a trigger or catalyst on the income and job fronts. However, Venus and Mercury are far from the only planets in retrograde motion this month, with Pluto spending his last full month in retrograde motion in your friendship sector just as Uranus is spending his first in retrograde motion in your communication sector and with Jupiter at a standstill ahead of his retrograde turn there on 5th September.
Even both planets in Pisces are in retrograde motion, making this a month where there are a lot of old doors open but also where there are new doors opening as well. Especially on the financial front, where Mars is firing things up from the start.
