Month of September
Aries
Three months after Venus, the planet of love returned for what is normally a 24 day visit to your romantic sector in early June, she is not only still here as you move into September, but it is at a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 4th September. This has been Venus' longest retrograde phase in your romantic sector since 1810 and while the doors are still open to the past and second chances as you move into the new month, you are preparing for a turnaround that will be akin to an opportunity for a do over. Since Venus returned the Sun, Mars and Mercury have all moved through and she herself is crossing ground already covered.
Yet as Venus comes to a standstill and prepares to turn direct, she is not alone with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment conveniently making her first visit to your romantic sector in four years. With Venus not leaving your romantic sector until 9th October and Juno until 18th October, this romantic chapter still has a long time to play out, though with the focus shifting away from the past on 4th September. As Venus starts to move forward, she will be crossing the same ground for the third time, with an opportunity for a do over coming with knowing now what you didn't before.
It is the Moon's visit from 11th September to 13th September that will give you a chance to capture this.
Meanwhile, while the Sun won't return to your relationship sector until 23rd September, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, the month begins with Mars, the South Node and the dwarf planet Ceres already here. Mars only returned for his first visit in two years late last month, but Ceres has spent months on a deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities, giving the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos something to fight for from the start.
Ceres will leave on 16th September, but Mars will stay on to welcome the Sun. The Moon will return just a few hours after Ceres leaves on 16th September and will leave on 18th September, before the Sun returns, giving you a better read on Mars' influence.
Taurus
While the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your romantic sector, so with the solar spotlight always on matters of the heart and all things romantic at this time of year, thanks to Mars this not only got an early start but a significant boost. By the time Mars returned in early July for his first visit in two years, your romantic sector had been empty since the Sun left last year and well before he was due to return on 23rd August. By the time the Sun returned Mars was still here and while the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos left at the end of last month, his influence lives on and especially when it comes to the roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined he managed to smash through.
As you move into the new month the Sun is not only on his own with Mercury, who returned in July for what is normally a 14 to 15 day mission to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page not only still here but in retrograde motion until 15th September. It is that retrograde turn that has kept Mercury here for so long while it is Venus' retrograde turn that has delayed her return, with the planet of love not returning until 9th October. While the Sun will leave on 23rd September, with Mercury staying on and Venus yet to return, the most romantically charged months of 2023 not only began earlier than they normally would they will extend further into the year as well.
The Moon will move through your romantic sector from 13th September to 15th September, aligning with the Sun to create a New Moon just before leaving. This is the same day that Mercury turns direct, making this a day for new beginnings just as a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane comes to an end. It is just a day later that the dwarf planet Ceres will return to your relationship sector on 16th September to begin her first deep dive into your relationship needs and priorities in four years and with the Sun, Mercury and Mars returning next month the timing couldn't be better.
The Moon's return from 18th September to 20th September will be a chance to become more emotionally engaged as this new chapter begins.
Gemini
While the Sun's return to your romantic sector on 23rd September is the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto matters of the heart and all things romantic and always on the October solstice, the most romantically charged months of the year are not only already underway but you have been preparing for this for a long time. It was back in December that the dwarf planet Ceres returned to begin her first deep dive into your heart's needs and priorities in four years but with no other planetary activity here, when she left in March there was nothing to attach this to. This might be why she turned retrograde and in June returned for a second deep dive, this time in time to ensure that when she leaves on 16th September your romantic sector isn't empty and won't be for a long time.
Ceres' job is to help you understand your heart's needs and priorities, while the South Node's return in July began an 18 month visit that is putting the past into perspective. However, in terms of the most romantically charged months of 2023 this has only just begun, with Mars still in the early days of his first visit in two years as we move into the new month. Because Mars has only just returned, he will remain here all month and won't leave until 12th October, spending that whole time fuelling your romantic passions and fighting spirit.
Thanks to Ceres, it is with a sense of your heart's needs and priorities from the start. Mars will still be here when the Sun returns on 23rd September, turning the solar spotlight onto matters of the heart and the progress Mars will have made by then.
While the Moon's return from 16th September to 18th September and the only visit while Mars is here will be some of the most romantically charged days of the month, because it will move through before the Sun returns it will be when it returns next month that they will align to not only create a New Moon.
Because the South Node is here this will be no ordinary New Moon but a total solar eclipse, with this month just the start of the most romantically charged months of 2023 and especially with Venus, the planet of love yet to return. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, the Moon's return from 21st September to 23rd September will be a valuable chance to check in. With Venus, the planet of love turning direct in your communication sector on 4th September, she will be on hand to give this a voice.
Cancer
As Pluto moves into his last full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector he is surrounded by support and not just from the Sun and Mercury in your communication sector. With Pluto turning direct on 9th October and then leaving in January, these final weeks in retrograde motion couldn't be more important. However, while having the Sun and Mercury, the planet of communication in your communication sector is making it easier to keep the communication lines open, it is having Mercury in retrograde motion that is making all the difference.
In retrograde motion until 15th September, Mercury will spend the first half of the month on a mission to give the past and unsaid words a voice, something that he will do in partnership with Pluto.
However, it was Uranus' retrograde turn in your friendship sector late last month and Jupiter's retrograde turn there on 5th September that is creating a triad of support. This is something that you will be able to tap into when the Moon moves through your communication sector from 13th September to 16th September and through your relationship sector from 23rd September to 25th September.
In both cases, the Moon will connect with planets across the communication, friendship and relationship fronts that are already working in partnership. Meanwhile, while all the focus is on both your relationships and communication from the start, there is something exciting developing on the romantic front.
There has been no planetary activity in your romantic sector this year though until the South Node left in July there had been a presence though one that was more focused on understanding the past.
Since then, apart from the Moon's monthly visits your romantic sector has been empty, except that won't be the case when it returns from 18th September to 20th September. It is just a few days earlier that the dwarf planet Ceres will return on 16th September to begin her first deep dive into your heart's needs and priorities in four years. On its own, this won't be a game changer but with the Sun, Mercury and Mars all returning to your romantic sector next month and Venus in November, this is a chance to prepare for the most romantically charged months of 2023 which are now just around the corner.
Leo
While there is no planetary activity in either your romantic or relationship sector, most of what you will experience on both fronts over the course of the coming year is being determined by Venus, the planet of love's longest visit to Leo in our lifetime. It was in early June that Venus returned for what is normally a 24 day chance to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year, something that usually happens either during or close to your birthday month and as you are moving into your new solar year. However, returning so far ahead of the Sun this forced Venus to turn retrograde, something that she will do in Leo every eight years.
However, every other time Venus has either retrograded back out only to return after turning direct again or she has retrograded back in after leaving, either way never spending the whole of her retrograde phase in Leo, until now. The last time that happened was in 1810, so as Venus comes to a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 4th September coming to an end is her longest and only continuous retrograde phase in Leo in our lifetime and the first fully immersive and uninterrupted nostalgic trip down love's memory lane. By the time Venus leaves on 9th October, she will have been here for over four months, long enough to cement your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for months if not years to come.
With the most romantically charged months of 2023 still in front of you and Pluto returning to begin a 20 year visit to your relationship sector in January, by looking back into the past the planet of love is giving you a chance to look far into the future. Helping with that will be the Moon's monthly visits to your romantic and relationship sectors, both after Venus turns direct and for the last time before she leaves. It begins with the Moon's return to your romantic sector from 21st September to 23rd September, followed a few days later by its return to your relationship sector from 25th September to 27th September.
With the Sun in your communication sector as well as Mercury and Mars, they will be on hand to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice.
Virgo
Because the month begins with every planet in your romantic and relationship sectors in retrograde motion and Venus, the planet of love not only still in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but in retrograde motion as well, there is a lot of nostalgia and a huge amount of focus on the past. While the two planets in your relationship sector will remain in retrograde motion until later in the year, with Venus turning direct on 4th September it is the spirit of romance that is about to break its links to the past. While Venus will turn direct, she will still be in a nostalgic of your chart and her nostalgic trip down love's memory lane won't end until she leaves and finally returns to Virgo on 9th October.
This is the same day that Pluto will turn direct in your romantic sector, with the love gods working until then to make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances.
With the two planets in your relationship sector not turning direct until later in the year, on the relationship front the journey will continue with a lot less urgency, even though they will remain open to the past on both fronts all months A lack of urgency is not the only point of difference, for while every planet in your romantic and relationship sectors will spend the whole of September in retrograde motion, the conditions will be different. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in Virgo and that puts him in harmony with Pluto and they will form a friendly aspect before your birthday month ends on 23rd September.
However, this will also see the Sun clash with both planets in your communication sector, as did Mars as he moved through Virgo and will Mercury before he leaves next month. However, as the planet of communication and in retrograde motion himself until 15th September, Mercury is on hand to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. The Moon will not only start the month in your relationship sector but with the tail end of a Full Moon at the end of last month grazing the early hours of September.
The Moon will be gone by 2nd September, but this is a chance to begin the month emotionally engaged, while it will come full circle again from 27th September to 29th September. Meanwhile, the Moon's visit to your romantic sector from 23rd September to 25th September will give the spirit of romance a boost.
Libra
While there is no planetary activity in your romantic sector, the Moon's return from 25th September to 27th September will be enough to keep the spirit of romance alive and especially because of the boost that it got in the final days of last month. While this was an ordinary monthly visit, a friendly aspect to Mars in his early days in Libra can give the warrior planet of the cosmos something to channel his passions and fighting spirit into. The Moon has moved on, but its influence is still likely to be there as you move into the new month but with a chance for a do over when it returns again on 25th September to find not only Mars still in Libra but the Sun there as well.
In the early days of your birthday month and new solar year, this will give your heart a voice from the start.
It is a different story on the relationship front, where you not only now have the North Node but there are two planets in retrograde motion here. These are the planets that Venus has aligned herself and will continue to work in partnership with, even after she turns direct in your friendship sector on 4th September.
This is something that over the last few months has created a lot of support for friendship and relationship building while holding the doors open to the past. Yet with the North Node here, you are also looking to the future. Meanwhile, with Mars in Libra all month and the Sun returning on 23rd September, this is going to put some pressure on a balance between your personal and relationship needs, something that the lunar nodes have been policing since July.
This becomes more real this month and especially when the Moon not only returns to your relationship sector on 29th September but as a Full Moon. This will see the Moon clash with both the Sun and Mars and while this won't be the first time that this will put a balance between your personal and relationship needs to the test, a Full Moon can amplify your emotional responses. This makes it important to make the right balance a priority from the start, while also to take advantage of the Moon's return to your communication sector from 21st September to 23rd September to ensure the communication lines are open ahead of time.
Scorpio
While both planets in your romantic sector have been in retrograde motion for several months now, it is the turn of the planets in your relationship sector to turn retrograde, something that within just a few days of moving into the new month will be drawing your attention to the past on both fronts. It was late last month that Uranus turned retrograde, something that he has done at this time each year since returning in 2019 and will continue to do until he leaves in 2026. However, just like on the romantic front where Neptune has been doing this each year since his return to your romantic sector in 2012, this year he is not alone with Saturn in retrograde motion here for the first time in three decades.
Likewise, Uranus is not on his own and on 5th September Jupiter will turn retrograde in your relationship sector for the first time in 12 years. In the same way that Saturn and Jupiter's return earlier in the year is putting a lot more weight on both romantic and relationship matters this year, this is now also putting a lot more weight on the doors that the love and relationship gods are opening to the past and second chances. With Saturn and Neptune remaining in retrograde motion until later in the year and Uranus and Jupiter until January, this is something that will not only dominate this month but the rest of the year.
With Pluto in his last full month in retrograde motion in your communication sector before turning direct on 9th October, there is more urgency when it comes to giving the past and unsaid words a voice.
Helping with that is having Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion until 15th September. In an important month across the communication, romantic and relationship fronts this makes the Moon's monthly visits a lot more important.
The Moon will not only start the month in your romantic sector but with a Full Moon here late last month still running its course on 1st September. The Moon will come full circle from that Full Moon from 27th September to 29th September, with the early and latter days of the month the most romantically charged. Meanwhile, the Moon will make its monthly visit to your relationship sector from 4th September to 6th September, with a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged.
Sagittarius
Love is in the air from the start and not just because you will have the Moon move through your romantic sector from 2nd September to 4th September, though this will contribute to getting the month off to a romantically charged start. This will be the Moon's last visit while Venus, the planet of love is in retrograde motion and with the Moon leaving just a few hours before she turns direct in an adventurous part of your chart on 4th September, this will give the spirit of romance, adventure and nostalgia another boost. Venus had spent the whole of August in retrograde motion, which coincided with Chiron and the dwarf planet Eris spending their first full month in retrograde motion in your romantic sector, with a strong bond already formed.
Yet as the Moon leaves Venus is getting ready to end her nostalgic trip down love's memory lane and while both planets in your romantic sector will remain in retrograde motion until later in the year, having the North Node here you are also looking to the future. Venus will remain in an adventurous part of your chart all month and will not only remain closely aligned with both planets in retrograde motion but with the North Node as well, keeping the spirit of romance and adventure alive. Venus will have been in direct motion for several weeks by the time the Moon not only returns to your romantic sector on 29th September but as a Full Moon.
A friendly aspect to Venus as it passes through and just as she is moving towards a friendly aspect to the North Node, will see these romantically charged lunar vibes give the spirit of romance, adventure and nostalgia yet another boost.
Meanwhile, with no planetary activity on the relationship front, this puts a lot more importance on the Moon's monthly visits to both your communication and relationship sectors. It is when the Moon moves through your relationship sector from 6th September to 8th September that you will have a chance to become more emotionally engaged, while a friendly aspect to Mars will make these some especially good days for friendship and relationship building.
Meanwhile, it is the Moon's return to your communication sector from 25th September to 27th September that will bring a valuable chance to ensure the communication lines are open, something that for your relationships couldn't be more important.
Capricorn
It is a given that Uranus, in your romantic sector from 2019 to 2026 will have just turned retrograde as you move into September and that he will spend the rest of the year in retrograde motion, going back over ground already covered. This is the norm for these slow outer planets but the difference this year is that he is not alone. It was in May that Jupiter returned for his first visit to your romantic sector in over a decade, kicking off a lucky and expansive year for love, matters of the heart and all things romantic.
While Jupiter returns every 12 years, as Uranus has only been here for four years, it has been eight decades since the planets of luck and synchronicity have met up here and once Jupiter turns retrograde on 5th September, the first time both will be in retrograde motion here at the same time.
It is also a given that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in an adventurous part of your chart, putting him and any other planets there at a friendly aspect to both Uranus and Jupiter, bringing together a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia that will dominate the month. Adding to this is having Mercury in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart until 15th September.
The Moon will make its monthly visit to your romantic sector from 4th September to 6th September, which means it will be here when Jupiter turns retrograde on 5th September, with the planet of luck and expansion turning back to support Uranus who has already opened the doors to the past.
Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your relationship sector, the Moon's return from 8th September to 11th September is an opportunity to check in and to become more emotionally engaged. As the last planet to leave your relationship sector this year only left last month, this is also a chance to review the journey that recent months have taken you on.
However, while there is no planetary activity in your relationship sector there is plenty of support on the communication front, including starting the month with the Moon in your communication sector and then Saturn and Neptune working all month to keep the communication lines open.
Aquarius
While the Sun's departure from your relationship sector on 23rd August took the solar spotlight off your relationships, as it does at the same time each year, the focus on your relationships is far from over though the journey does take a turn in the early days of the month. This is a journey that began back in May, when Mars returned for his first visit to your relationship sector in two years. It was just days later that he was joined by Venus, who returned in early June to begin what is normally a 24 day chance for the planet of love to work her magic.
Instead, while Mars is long gone and since then the Sun and Mercury have moved through, a retrograde turn means that three months on Venus is still here.
While Venus will spend time in retrograde motion in your relationship sector every eight years, turning her focus onto the past while opening old doors, until now she hasn't spent her whole retrograde phase here. In the past, Venus has either retrograded all the way out only to return again, she has turned direct or she has retrograded back in after leaving, either way only spending half of her six week retrograde phase here.
For the first time since 1810 that didn't happen, with the planet of love's longest retrograde phase in your relationship sector in over 200 years finally ending on 4th September. Venus is at a standstill as we move into the new month, with a chance to stay in the moment as you either look back or make the most of the doors open to the past and second chances.
Meanwhile, while Venus will turn direct on 4th September she won't leave until 9th October, spending the rest of the month here and with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships for company.
A journey into the past and all the water that has passed under the bridge since Mars returned in May allows you to look to the future with confidence. Helping you to get your bearings after the tide turns will be the Moon's visit to your relationship sector from 11th September to 13th September. Before that, the Moon's visit to your romantic sector from 6th September to 8th September will give the spirit of romance a welcome boost.
Pisces
It is a given that the Sun will spend the first three weeks of September in your relationship sector, with the solar spotlight always on your relationships at this time of year. However, this year there are some noticeable differences in that Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos has just moved through and the month will end with Venus, who by this time last year had been and gone yet to return. At the same time Mercury, who will normally move through in 14 to 15 days will instead spend the whole month in your relationship sector, which as the planet of communication will prove to be a huge advantage.
By the time you move into the new month Mars has only been gone for four days, giving you a sense of what you are fighting for from the start.
However, this has also taken the heat and the urgency out of things while at the same time flushing out what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. While since Neptune's return to Pisces in 2012 no planet has been able to move through your relationship sector without clashing, for the first time in three decades you also have Saturn in your sign, with the Sun just separating from an opposition and from a Full Moon as we move into the new month.
This has already flushed out any balance issues between your personal and relationship needs, but this is also what makes Mercury's extended stay so important. It was in July that Mercury, the planet of communication returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit and a chance to get the communication lines open.
Instead, a retrograde turn last month has not only kept Mercury here but not turning direct until 15th September he will spend the first half of the month giving the past and unsaid words a voice and the whole month working to give your relationships a voice.
Mercury will turn direct on 15th September, the same day that a New Moon will bring an opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings. With Mercury not leaving until 5th October, this means that when the Sun leaves on 23rd September he will stay on, continuing to keep the communication lines open and the seat warm until Venus, the planet of love finally returns next month. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your romantic sector, the Moon's return from 8th September to 11th September will give the spirit of romance a boost.
