Hello, there! You might have come to this page looking for the monthly horoscopes. In order to redirect some of my attention to other things that I have cooking behind the scenes - like my new book (which will be dropping in August 2021), I’ve decided to step back from the monthlies for the time being. Though I do leave you in good hands with a crazy talented up-and-coming astrologer - Six. You can find Six’s monthly horoscopes on Bustle.
I’ll still be doing the daily horoscopes for Bustle as scheduled.
Though if you haven’t checked out my horoscopes for the year, head over to Tarot.com and read my Yearly Horoscopes for 2021 as well as my Love Horoscopes for 2021.
Here’s to good and necessary changes for the new year!

Expect September to be a month of accountability as the planets gather together to help us to see the ways in which our words, values, and beliefs are out of alignment with our actions, and the steps we can take to set things straight.The month opens with an emotional Full Moon in compassionate Pisces on Sept 2, which highlights the ways our beliefs shape how we treat others and how we’re treated in return. For some of us, this full moon will show us where we need healthier boundaries or to be more selflessly giving.
Come the 5th, chatty Mercury moves into fair and objective Libra, pushing for more communications, negotiations, and decisions where everyone feels valued and heard. The next day, love planet Venus moves into bold and passionate Leo, which not only encourages us to love what’s special about ourselves, but also encourages us to envision how much better our world would look if everyone (especially our unsung heroes) were treated like they were special, too.
On September 9th, things come to a grinding halt as action-oriented Mars begins its two-month retrograde in headstrong Aries. With Mars retrograde it’s time to slow down, reassess our actions, as well as our relationship to anger, and figure out how best to move forward. Between expansive Jupiter moving forward again in ambitious Capricorn on September 12 and a New Moon in disciplined Virgo on September 17, whatever actions we do take will require patience and some level of personal responsibility, particularly as no-nonsense Saturn begins moving forward again (September 29) in Capricorn as well.
If 2020 could be summarized, this would be the year that we’re called to tear down the things in our lives that are no longer working, while redefining what’s truly important to us—including the way we connect with others, our ambitions, and our markers for success. We can expect to be quite busy this year laying down new foundations for our lives in 2020 and the years to come. Though to do this work, we’ll need to be ready to join forces with others, learn new things, and break free of dull routines.

With Virgo season underway, we should see a stark contrast between the wobbly energy of last month and the more grounded energy of this month. Although Mars will be moving back into unconventional Aquarius, which should stir things up a bit; having the Sun and communicative Mercury in Virgo should help us with staying flexible, organized, and sane. And if we feel like we’ve fallen off track or off target, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will help us find our bearings again and get back on the wagon. Meanwhile, pleasure-loving Venus will be in all-or-nothing Scorpio, making sure that whatever or whomever we invest our time and resources into will truly be worth the trouble.

With Virgo season underway, we should see a stark contrast between the wobbly energy of last month and the more grounded energy of this month. Although Mars will be moving back into unconventional Aquarius, which should stir things up a bit; having the Sun and communicative Mercury in Virgo should help us with staying flexible, organized, and sane. And if we feel like we’ve fallen off track or off target, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will help us find our bearings again and get back on the wagon. Meanwhile, pleasure-loving Venus will be in all-or-nothing Scorpio, making sure that whatever or whomever we invest our time and resources into will truly be worth the trouble.
The second half of the month ushers in Libra season (September 22), which reminds us of the importance of beauty and relationships. With Mercury also entering Libra around this time, we’re reminded to find the beauty in the world, while making room for others to be heard – especially when it comes to marginalized voices. Thankfully, the Full Moon in Aries on September 24, will make sure we find the courage needed to stand up for what we believe in and face the things that scare us. Also, good news: Saturn and Pluto end their retrogrades this month (September 6 and September 30, respectively) and begin moving forward again; helping us to give the ax to people, places, and situations that have left us feeling disempowered, unstable, or uncertain.
Detail and discipline is the name of the game for you for much of September. That’s because communicative Mercury will be moving home to Virgo on September 5 and into your zone of health, work, and routine. With the Sun already in this zone, your focus turns to how you manage your schedule, as well as your physical and mental well-being. Virgo season will remind you of the importance of sticking to a healthy regimen when it comes to food, exercise, and your responsibilities so you get things done the right way without burning yourself out in the process. Look to the New Moon in Virgo (September 9) to help you with implementing a healthier lifestyle and finding the discipline you need to follow through. And since we’re talking about discipline, when love planet Venus enters Scorpio on September 9 and moves into your zone of intimacy and finances; it will be hard for others to resist you. Just remember Aries, that all are not welcome behind your closed doors (no matter how sexy, dangerous, or exciting they seem). When it comes to potential lovers be discerning. Meanwhile, Venus in Scorpio might help you find some extra cash or smooth things over with a financial obligation.
Come September 10, Mars moves to Aquarius – your zone of friendship; helping you to get focused and get out there when it comes to rubbing shoulders with influential people. Since this zone also covers your hopes and wishes, Mars in Aquarius will be helping you to take yours seriously, so you can pursue them. At the same time, there could be some shake-ups around your circle of friends. Don’t be afraid to kiss a bad friend goodbye. On the 22nd, the Sun enters Libra and moves into your zone of partnership putting the spotlight on teamwork, collaborations, and a significant other. Over the next few weeks, your road to success will be by way of savvy business partnerships and being open to support or assistance from others. With Mercury entering Libra on the 21st, you should find negotiations and conversations to go quite well; helping you to tap new opportunities and connect with new people. If looking for love, Libra season could bring you someone with commitment potential. Look to the Full Moon in Aries (September 24), lighting up your zone of self-image to help you with improving your self-acceptance. Hint: don’t beat yourself up.
Love, passion, and fun are on the agenda for you this month as communicative Mercury joins the Sun in Virgo (your zone of romance and creativity) on September 5. With Mercury at home in Virgo and this area of your life, you’re encouraged to get curious and to get busy when it comes to honing your talents, picking up new creative skills, and romancing your way into someone’s heart. If last month had you down and out for the count, use September to find your sense of joy and adventure again. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will be working its magic to help you start fresh in love and life. If your confidence has been waning, this New Moon will help you to feel like your fabulous self again. Meanwhile, on that same day, love planet Venus enters Scorpio and steps into your zone of partnership. No matter if love or business is on the table, Venus will be on hand making sure that you get the best of the best when it comes to potential partners. Look to Venus in Scorpio to help you with manifesting a business contract or agreement that brings you some extra cash. Coupled Taurus’ will also benefit from Venus’ romantic gifts. And on the 10th, Mars re-enters Aquarius, your career zone, to help you achieve boss level status.
On September 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of health and work. With busy Mercury in this zone, you can expect the pace to pick up significantly. This means you’ll have to stay on top of your list of responsibilities as well as your schedule. Though if you feel like you’ve been slacking, Mercury in Libra will push you to get back to work. On the 22nd the Sun enters Libra too, bringing the spotlight to how you care for your mind and body. If you’ve been over-indulging on sweets, alcohol, etc., Libra season will motivate you to take better care of yourself. For some Taurus’ this might mean working with a therapist, nutritionist, or another type of healer. On the 24th, the month ends with a Full Moon in Aries, that ignites your zone of rest and retreat. This full moon will be a reminder for you to take care of your spiritual health too. This might include purging something from the past and allowing yourself to heal from an old wound. If you’ve been having trouble with trusting your intuition, this full moon will also reveal something to you that you won’t be able to ignore.
Your private life takes center stage for you this month as Mercury (your patron saint) enters Virgo, your zone of home and family on September 5. With Mercury working alongside the Sun in Virgo, you might find yourself extra busy at home. Whether you’re having conversations with loved ones, working from home, negotiating a property sale, or planning a move; you can expect things to move at lightning speed in this zone. Look to the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 to assist you with implementing any plans or changes related to your physical home or your family relationships. If you and a loved one have had a hard time connecting with each other, this new moon can assist you with building a bridge (should you choose to). And speaking of relationships, Venus moves to Scorpio on September 9 and into your zone of health and routine; helping you to get along better with co-workers and get shit done. Though Venus doesn’t like stressing themselves too much, which means your focus will also be on self-care and taking care of your well-being. If it’s been a while since you’ve treated yourself to some good drink and good food, Venus will push you to do so.
On the 10th, passionate Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of travel and opportunity. With Mars here, don’t be surprised if you get the urge to take off at a moment’s notice or find yourself craving to get back into school. No matter which adventure you choose, your goal will be to expand your awareness, challenge old beliefs, and step out of your comfort zone. Come September 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of romance and creativity. With Mercury in Libra putting you in the mood to flirt and get your kicks, you’re on the most popular list again. On another note, when it comes to your creative ideas, Mercury will send your inspiration through the roof. The following day, the Sun enters Libra, giving you some extra mojo when it comes to your confidence and helping you to strut your stuff in a way that will make others take notice. Romantically, you can expect September to deliver the goods. As long as you’re out doing what you love with people that you love, you’ll be irresistible.

If there’s anything you have to say this month, people are all ears. That’s because chatty Mercury will be moving home to Virgo (your zone of communication) on September 5. With Mercury at home in this zone, you could generate a significant amount of buzz when it comes to something you’re working on – whether it’s a website, article, event, or anything else that requires a sizeable audience. With the Sun also in this zone, your creative energy will be running high. Use the Sun and Mercury’s help to fine tune your skills and ideas. You might even consider taking up a class to help you see an idea through. Look to the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 to help with starting something fresh.

Under the influence of this full moon, you could receive a step up in your career or garner widespread buzz on something that you’ve been working hard on. This is not a time where you’ll want to be modest about your resume. Don’t be afraid to toot your horn or sing your own praises. Chances are you’ll be so popular, you won’t have to anyway.
The big, cash money wad is what’s on your mind this month as planets in Virgo camp out in your zone of income and possessions. With the Sun already in this zone, you might find that you’re most interested in manifesting money by way of a job offer, a new client, or a salary increase. Either way, you’re willing to put in the work it will take this month to grow your bank account. With detail-oriented Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th, your focus will also be on keeping better track of your money too. If you’ve been overspending, Mercury will call for you to create a budget and stick to it. Overall, while Virgo season rolls on, themes around your self-worth will come up for review. If you’ve been putting in lots of work and getting very little in return, Virgo season will ask that you hold yourself accountable and do something about it. Luckily, you’ll have the New Moon in Virgo (September 9) working on your behalf helping you to secure a new stream of income or to increase the one you already have. Meanwhile, Venus enters Scorpio, your zone of home and family on the same day. An upgrade to your living space can help you with attracting abundance, so don’t discount the importance of redecorating and decluttering your home.
On the 10th, aggressive Mars moves into Aquarius and into your zone of partnership. While you’ll certainly want to watch out for arguments with others and folks trying to overstep their boundaries with you, Mars in Aquarius could also introduce you to people that inspire and fuel you to be your best. At the same time, when it comes to how you handle your anger, can you find more constructive ways to fight? Remember the lessons you learned while Mars was retrograde. On the 21st, Mercury enters diplomatic Libra, your zone of communication; helping you to charm and get along with just about anyone that crosses your path. Lean on Mercury in Libra’s gift of negotiation and suave, that way you don’t let folks unnecessarily ruffle your feathers. Just make sure you’re not playing nice just for the sake of being liked or accepted. With the Sun entering Libra on the 22nd, it’ll be hard for others to not enjoy you or your company anyway, though that doesn’t mean everyone has an invitation. If you need to get something off your chest, however, the Full Moon in Aries landing in your zone of travel and opportunity on September 24th will help you to air something or someone out. Speaking your mind will boost your confidence.
Your birthday season is in full swing and the cosmos is making sure that you don’t leave empty-handed. Not only do you have the confident Sun working on your behalf bringing you extra warmth, power, and attention but Mercury, your patron saint, will be moving home to Virgo on September 5. With the Sun and Mercury housed in your zone of self-image and confidence, you should feel a lot clearer in terms of who you are and where you’re headed, especially since last month’s Mercury retrograde may have had your head spinning. Connecting and speaking with others should be a lot easier too, so you won’t have to worry too much about misunderstandings. As if that weren’t enough, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 stops in to help you with starting fresh and breaking free of anything (or anyone) that’s been holding you back. If you’ve been looking to update your look, the new moon is perfect for getting a new hairstyle or revamping your wardrobe or beauty regimen. Meanwhile, charming Venus will be entering Scorpio, your zone of communication, also on that day. If you’re looking to boost your social clout and network in a way that will lead to actual opportunities, Venus in Scorpio will help you out.
On September 10, go-getter Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of health and work. With Mars kicking up things several notches, you’ll have to take care not to burn yourself out. You can be quite the workaholic but if you don’t take care to slow down (especially when your body is telling you to), you can end up making yourself sick. At the same time, Mars can assist you with getting back on track with a wellness program if you’ve fallen off. By the 21st, Mercury moves into Libra, your zone of income and possessions. With Mercury here, you might find yourself in negations over salary or money. Mercury in Libra will be working their magic to make sure you get what’s yours.

Just remember that when it comes to determining your value, you set the rules. On the 24th, the Full Moon in Aries illuminates your zone of intimacy and rebirth. Under this full moon, you could finally pay off a debt or financial obligation or put an end to a toxic relationship.
As you get prepared to celebrate your birthday, it seems you need to clean house a bit before you do. That’s why there will be a few planets camped out in Virgo this month which covers your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. With the Sun already in this zone, you might find yourself feeling a bit more reclusive than usual. That’s because you need to take time to yourself, to recharge, and to commune with the divine. With communicative Mercury moving into Virgo on September 5, it’s time for you to give your brain a much-needed timeout. Look towards meditative exercises like journal writing or healing sound mantras to help you with clearing your head and letting go of negative thoughts. If you’ve been dealing with issues around anxiety, depression, or severe mood swings; this would also be a good time to begin working with a therapist or a mental health expert. Going into your birthday, which is also considered a new year, you’ll want to make sure your load is as light as possible. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 can assist you when it comes to developing a spiritual practice or giving yourself permission to let go of the past. Meanwhile, when Venus (your patron saint) enters Scorpio; your zone of income; also on September 9, your finances get a boost.
The following day, on September 10, Mars moves into Aquarius – your zone of romance and creativity. Under Mars’ keep, your mission will be to delve into your passions; allowing your creative energy to run wild. You might even come up with an idea or project that lands you on the map. Though overall, the point of this Mars transit will be for you to know what it’s like you let yourself go and have fun again. And, when it comes to love and romance, Mars will have you feeling yourself so much that you won’t be able to help turning heads. If you’re focused on doing what you want to do, you’ll have folks eating out the palm of your hand. Still, the party doesn’t stop there as Mercury moves into Libra, your zone of self-image, on September 21; helping you to move mountains with your words and ideas. As the social butterfly of the zodiac, you already have the gift of gab but with Mercury on your side; let’s just say… be intentional about what you speak into existence. Come September 22 the Sun moves into Libra, kicking off your birthday season. With the Sun in your zone of self-image; you should feel more capable and more powerful than you have in a while. On the 24th, the Full Moon in Aries in your partnership zone may either solidify or liquefy a key relationship. The choice is yours.
It’s all about who you know this month as your zone of friendship and allies gets its annual visit from the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. With the Sun already in this area of your chart, you may already be dealing with all kind of events, gatherings, and parties with people in your circle. When Mercury shows up on September 6, you can expect that number to increase. This is a good thing though, as the people you’ll be meeting won’t only be kindred spirits, they’ll also be people that can turn you on to new opportunities. That’s right look to the people you know to put in a good word on your behalf when it comes to your work and your character. If people reach out to you now, it will most likely be due to all of the good things they’ve been hearing about you.

So don’t be surprised if folks are clamoring over themselves trying to get next to you.
On the 10th, things may get a bit rocky as aggressive Mars moves back into Aquarius, your zone of home and family. With Mars stirring things up, arguments and home-related accidents could be aplenty but utilize what you’ve learned from Mars retrograde to help you with keeping your cool. As it’s often said on these astrology streets, Mars in your home zone is usually a good time for doing anything around the house that requires extra energy; like making repairs, reorganizing the closets/furniture, and of course, moving to a new space. Come the 21st, things should calm down a bit as Mercury enters Libra, your zone of rest and retreat; pushing you to take some time to yourself and to get away from the everyday noise of the world. When the Sun enters Libra on the following day (September 22), your source of warmth and good vibes will come from solitude, rest, and engaging activities that soothe and feed your spirit. However, on the 24th, things may get a bit bumpy again as the Full Moon in Aries ignites your zone of health and work. At the least, this moon will highlight where you need to improve your health and what you can do about it.
You’re the biggest boss that we’ve seen thus far, well, at least for the month of September. That’s because your career zone gets some extra love and attention from the Sun and Mercury in Virgo. Now that the Sun is already working their magic in this zone, you might find that you’re getting all kinds of attention and recognition from folks from all over, especially as your reputation begins speaking for itself. With Mercury headed into your career zone on September 6, get ready to rock your moment in the spotlight. People are going to be looking to you for your knowledge and expertise, so make sure you’re ready to wow ‘em.

Also, on September 9, pleasure-loving Venus enters Scorpio and moves into your zone of rest and healing. With Venus here, your focus is to find a healthy balance to work and rest. Look towards activities that renew your body and your soul. On another note, this Venus transit could also bring a soul mate like connection. Try not to get swept away by this person too soon.
On September 10, go-getter Mars moves into Aquarius, your zone of communication. With Mars here, you might find yourself being more opinionated than usual. Try to keep the need to share/post every single thought that comes to your head to a minimum as not everyone needs to know your business and some things may be better left unsaid. However, do use Mars’ courage and confidence to speak up for yourself or on behalf of someone that can’t speak up for themselves. On the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of friendship. As such, don’t be too surprised if opportunities start coming your way based on the people you know. Thanks to the hard work you’ve been putting in, it will be hard for people to not know your name. Meanwhile, when it comes to your friends, spending time with them and attending social gatherings will be just what you need, especially as the Sun enters Libra on September 22. Come September 24, a passionate Full Moon in Aries ignites your zone of romance and creativity; which could help you seal the deal on a current romance or kiss a dead one goodbye. In terms of your creative talent, be prepared for a breakthrough. P.s. authenticity is sexy on you.
Moving beyond what you know is the theme for you this month, as planets in Virgo take up residence in your zone of travel, education, and opportunity. With the confident Sun already in this zone, you might find yourself being pushed to branch out and explore the world. When curious Mercury moves into Virgo on September 5, that “push” will be hard to ignore as Mercury will have you thirsting for new experiences and interesting things to learn. Some of these experiences will be best had overseas or in a classroom. Either way, your mission is to reclaim your sense of freedom and get used to looking on the bright side. The New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will assist you in opening your heart to adventure. If there’s something you’ve been wanting to take a risk on, a place you’ve wanted to visit, or maybe even a book that you’ve wanted to publish; this new moon will give you the cosmic help you need. On that very same day, charming Venus will enter Scorpio, your zone of friendship and hopes and wishes. Not only will Venus be helping you to see what’s possible when it comes to your dreams, but they will also help you to become of the toast of the town. And guess what? That could help you attract some cash too.
On the 10th, aggressive Mars enters Aquarius, your zone of income and possessions. If you’ve been working yourself extremely hard and getting very little back as a form of compensation or reward; Mars will push you to be more demanding about what you get paid. In other words, it’s time to put some “respeck” on your name, Cap. Know that people won’t undersell or underestimate you if you don’t undersell or underestimate yourself first. Like Queen Ramonda told T’Challa “remember who you are”. On the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of career and recognition. As such, look to Mercury to bring you opportunities to share your thoughts, words, and ideas on a major platform. When the Sun enters Libra a day later, your career gets a boost. Over the next few weeks you might receive a position of authority or increased responsibility with the pay and the benefits to go along with it. Come September 24, a Full Moon in Aries lights up your zone of home and family; which could bring up something painful from your past. Though know that this will be your opportunity to address what happened and heal from it once and for all. If relocating, this moon could help you finalize details.
Just when you thought you were down for the count, the cosmos sends you some reinforcements to pick you back up. The first up to the rescue is Mercury, which moves to Virgo on September 5 and into your zone of intimacy and rebirth. If you’ve been spending too much of your time wrapped up in an unhealthy relationship or giving your power away to those that are undeserving, Mercury (along with the Sun) in Virgo will help you to be more vocal about your boundaries and better at trusting yourself and your intuition. Meanwhile, the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 will stop by to help you with getting out of a tough financial situation (do your research!) and commit to breaking free of any unhealthy attachments. Though your blessings don’t stop there. On September 9, money-making Venus will enter Scorpio, your zone of career and recognition; helping you to secure the bag (ca-ching!) and a top-notch position. You might also generate some sort of media buzz for your work too. Work with Venus to level-up in your career and capitalize on the stellar reputation you’ve been building.
Still, that’s not all. On September 10, confident Mars moves back into Aquarius, your zone for confidence and self-image. With Mars moving forward and back on your team, you’re virtually unstoppable. Not only will you have an increase in physical energy, but you should experience an increase in bad-ass energy too. Remember the lessons you’ve learned from Mars retrograde and move forward with more confidence and determination than you have in the past. Come September 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of travel and education. With Mercury helping you to get curious about the world again, you might find fun in a class or workshop setting, learning something new. Mercury will also help you with planning the perfect trip if you’ve been dying to get away. Overall, you’re in need of some fresh air now and Libra season will light the way for you, especially with the radiant Sun entering Libra on September 22. On the 24th, the fiery Full Moon in Aries lights up your zone of communication, illuminating the ways you hold yourself back with fear and negative thinking. This moon will push you to break that cycle.
It’s Team Pisces for most of this month as a team of planets camp out in Virgo, your zone of partnership. The party begins on September 5, as chatty Mercury enters Virgo, joining the Sun. With these two powerhouses in your zone of significant relationships, you could find yourself negotiating deals and contracts that could help to put some extra cash in your pocket. At the same time, the Sun and Mercury will be working together to introduce you to an influential person that could help you grow and shine on a professional level. Keep your eye out for people whose talents or expertise either compliment or exceed yours. In other words, no leveling down Pisces. Look to the New Moon in Virgo on September 9 to help you with establishing new connections and entering agreements. Since this zone of your chart also covers romantic relationships, this new moon could bring you a new boo. For Pisces that are already with the love of their lives, this moon could mark a fresh and exciting chapter in your relationship. Also, on September 9, fun-loving Venus enters Scorpio, your zone of travel and opportunity. Venus will be on hand to help you delve into your passions, find freedom in being yourself, and open yourself up to new adventures.
On the 10th, Mars re-enters Aquarius and steps back into your zone of rest and retreat. While this is not an easy spot for Mars to be, utilize the energy by being more demanding about your self-care and alone time. If anger comes up now, this is a good time to work on releasing resentment but watch out for passive aggressiveness. It’s OK to be a bitch every now and again. Even a goddess must carry a machete from time to time. Come the 21st, Mercury enters Libra, your zone of intimacy and rebirth. If debt and financial management have been an issue, Mercury will help you to be more accountable with your cash, so you can save more and get out of debt faster. Taking a money management course or working with a financial expert could also be helpful. The following day, the Sun enters Libra putting the spotlight on your deepest desires. Know that you deserve to have what you want and that includes healthy, well-balanced relationships. If you’ve been giving too much of yourself for too little, let the Sun in Libra help you to regain your strength and your confidence to do right by you. The Full Moon in Aries landing in your zone of income and self-worth on September 24 will help you to put you first.
Now that you’ve got your monthly report, tell us what you’re looking forward to this month!
If things have felt "stop and go" thanks to last month’s eclipses and all the retrograde planetary action we’ve been getting; this month brings us some much-needed momentum. Not only is Mercury moving forward again, but aggressive Mars also turns direct; which should help us with getting plans, projects, and initiatives off the ground. Meanwhile, we’re still in eclipse season with one more eclipse to go; the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 11, 2018. Under this eclipse, we should expect dramatic new beginnings, fresh starts, and life-changing opportunities that span themes that cover confidence, creativity, romance, and authenticity. With the shifts and changes that are still afoot, it’s a good thing that Mars will be moving back into grounded and responsible Capricorn by mid-month. With Mars in one of their favorite places to be, the energy in the air shouldn’t feel as jarring as it has been over the past few weeks, especially with Mars turning direct by August 27. Couple Mars grounding vibes with the earthy energy of Virgo season (August 23) and we should be able to find the motivation, energy, and the clarity to move into the next phase of our lives.

Although Gemini season is in full swing, the pace this month slows down significantly once the planets begin shifting into cautious Cancer, pushing us to lean on our intuition rather than making snap judgments. At the same time, active Mars will also begin its two-month retrograde; backtracking through the signs of Aquarius and Capricorn and helping us to make sure we’re not blindly following the rules in place or investing our energy into futile endeavors. Planet Neptune (dreams, illusions, compassion) also goes retrograde this month in Pisces, pushing us to see through illusions and to see things as they are. In fact, with a Full Moon in no-nonsense Capricorn happening this month as well, many of us are due for a reality check.
I know some folks may be looking for the horoscopes I do for this website each month but between the past two eclipses landing in my zones of health and work and rest and retreat, it seems the universe has had some other plans for me, which included a sinus infection that I am only recently getting over.
Additionally, I am currently catching up on my one on one clients that have had to be rescheduled as a result of my illness while working on the manuscript for my book, which has a mid-March deadline. If anything, the eclipses that lit up my chart a couple weeks ago have shown me the value of being deliberate about the responsibilities I take on. This means my monthly horoscopes are on hiatus for now.
However, you will still continue to get my daily, weekend, and monthly scopes at Bustle. Thank you all for being such loyal and longtime readers.
Aries: The planets never stop and nor do you, but this month the major focus will be on how you move and who you’re making moves with. Even though we’re entering the month with Mercury retrograde don’t expect September to start off slow, especially as a bevy of planets begin entering Virgo; your zone of health, work, and routine. With the Sun already in this zone, pulling your focus towards getting your sh*t together, Mars is follows along; moving into Virgo on September 5th. With your patron saint in the sign associated with details and dedication, you get the most accomplished this month by paying closer attention to the small day to day things in your life that you may normally want to avoid, like sticking to a schedule. In terms of health, Mars will be motivating you to take better care of yours. You may decide to start a new fitness program or a food detox plan. A note: between Mars entering Virgo and Mercury moving forward again in Leo (your zone of fun and creativity) beginning September 5th, you may be tempted to take on everything at once. However, doing so will easily lead to a burn out. Make sure you use the powers of Virgo to decide what warrants your time and energy and what doesn’t. This will be especially true when the Full Moon in Pisces lands in your zone of rest, healing, and retreat on September 6th.
Under the influence of this Pisces moon, you may find yourself pushed towards a place of surrender, which means giving up the need to control things you have no control over and spending too much time on things that rob you of your sense of fulfillment. In other words, let go. While this moon may have you in your feelings, take it as a cue to address your deeper needs. By the 9th, when Mercury moves back home to Virgo, the pace picks up again; packing your schedule with all sorts of errands and appointments. The key to staying on track will be to finish what you start and keeping things sweet and simple. When Venus arrives to the Virgo party on September 19th, this could be a good time for job hunting. Venus will be beaming her good fortune your way, especially alongside the New Moon in Virgo on September 20th. Tap the power of the new moon to help you with implementing new projects, improving your health, and better aligning with your purpose. When the Sun moves into Libra (your zone of partnership) on September 22nd, look to joining forces with others to help you get ahead professionally. And speaking of your professional life, having transformative Pluto in Capricorn moving forward again (September 28th) in your zone of career and achievement, you should feel a sense of being reborn when it comes to pursuing your goals and ambitions. On the 29th, when Mercury moves into Libra, look to connect with new people; especially those that can teach you something new.
Taurus: Ready? Set? Go, Taurus! Though we’re entering the month on the tail end of a Mercury retrograde, it won’t mean that September will be a slow-moving month, as the stars will be doing their share to help push you forward. The action begins on September 5th, with passionate Mars entering Virgo, your zone of romance, creativity, and adventure. With Mars revving things up, you’ll find that you’ll be craving more fun and excitement than usual. This is a good thing as Mars will help you to find the courage to try new things and avoid getting stuck on the same old stuff. That goes for love affairs too. With Mercury moving forward again in Leo (September 5th); your zone of home and family, you should have a clear idea of what you may need to release from your past in order to move forward. You may need to save some of those goodbyes for some of the people in your life, especially if they haven’t been the type you can count on. The Full Moon in Pisces on September 6th may highlight this as it illuminates your zone of friendships and alliances. At the same time, this moon may also show you where you could do more to give back to others or be more supportive of a friend. On the 9th, Mercury moves into Virgo; fueling your passion to learn something new. With Mercury’s help, you could decide to take classes in fiction writing, music, or find just the right outlet for your creative inspiration.
When Venus (your patron saint) arrives in Virgo on the 19th, you’ll find you’re in the mood for love, as the planet of pleasure cranks up the romance. If single and interested in making a love match, you could have plenty of opportunities to meet someone new over the coming weeks. Meanwhile, if you’ve already found the love of your life, Venus in Virgo could help to rekindle the flame between the two of you and perhaps bring up a convo about having children. On another note, having Venus working alongside Mercury, could also show you how to make some extra cash off a hobby or a creative skill. By September 20th, the New Moon in Virgo could help you to get in touch with your passion while pushing you to be a more authentic version of yourself. On the 22nd, the Sun moves into Libra (your zone of health, work, and routine) encouraging you to find more of a balance between your work life and your private life. This may mean scaling back on the hours at work, eating better, or making your environment clutter free. With transformative Pluto moving direct in Capricorn (your zone of travel and education) on September 28th, you may realize where you need to let go of outworn beliefs or philosophies in order to get the most out of life. On the 29th, Mercury joins the Sun in Libra, kicking off a busy yet productive period. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Gemini: As you come out of August still feeling a bit wobbly, especially as Mercury (your ruling planet) spent most of last month retrograde, your goal for September is to make sure that you’re standing on solid ground before you move forward. You’ll receive some help with this mission as a bevy of planets line up in Virgo; your zone of home and family. With the Sun already in this zone, you may already be looking for ways to improve your sense of stability. When Mars moves into Virgo on the 5th, you may decide to move or upgrade your home to increase your peace of mind, or you may decide to enlist the help of a therapist to address any anxiety, anger, or sadness that may be keeping you off kilter. When Mercury begins moving forward again in Leo on September 5th, in your zone of communication and ideas, the delays and miscommunications you may have experienced over the last few weeks begin to subside. Hopefully, you were able to learn ways in which you could be more effective with your communication skills or where you may need to let go of an outdated perspective. On September 6th, the Full Moon in Pisces lights up your zone of career, fame, and achievement. Under the influence of this moon, you could decide to leave an unfulfilling position, or switch your career trajectory towards something that better aligns with what you really want; especially if you’ve been wasting too much time trying to make others happy. Since full moons also represent a culmination, you could find yourself on the receiving end of an award or another form of recognition.
By the 9th, Mercury leaves Leo and moves back into Virgo, which may have you thinking heavily about the past, as well as the relationship you have to people in your family. Having thoughtful Mercury traveling in this zone of your chart may ask you to challenge or examine your family’s belief system or traditions as a means of figuring out if makes sense to use them as a standard for living your own life. Though your home and family life improves when Venus enters Virgo on September 19th. With the help from the planet of pleasure and beauty, use this time for redecorating, organizing, and improving the comfort level of your home. This might mean parting ways with a bad roommate or doing something as simple as buying yourself a good pair of sheets. Though when it comes to investing in any big changes when it comes to your home or family life, look to the New Moon in Virgo on September 20th to help you with implementing your plans. On the 22nd, the Sun enters Libra; your zone of romance and creativity. With the Sun lighting up this area of your chart, it’s all about finding your confidence to be the true standout you were born to be. Maybe this means being more open about your skills or talents or learning how to better show up for yourself. Remember, confidence is also an aphrodisiac. On the 28th, transformative Pluto moves forward again in Capricorn, your zone of intimacy and finances, to help you put an end to the ways that you may be giving up your power. When Mercury moves into Libra on September 29th, it’s time to reconnect to the pleasure of learning.
Cancer: This month is largely about focus, determination, and learning the importance of finishing what you start. The lesson begins on September 5th, when motivating Mars moves into Virgo, your zone of communication. With Mars kicking your brain into overdrive and intensifying your craving to learn and crank out new ideas, you should find yourself eager to study, train, or working to turn a brilliant concept into something more tangible. However, instead of losing focus at the first sign of a challenge, the discipline of Virgo will help you to be more deliberate about the projects you start while developing a realistic plan to make them happen. This will be especially true when Mercury joins the party in Virgo on September 9th, teaching you the value of honing your craft, vision, and skills. Though with Mercury still in Leo (your money zone) until then, your job is to focus on ways you can improve your income. During Virgo season, that may mean looking for ways to make yourself more marketable and getting people interested in what you have to say. When the Full Moon in Pisces lands in your zone of travel, education, and opportunity on September 6th, you may find yourself bringing yourself a step closer to fulfilling a dream or seeing your name in print. However, the goal of this full moon, is to stir you out of places where you may have gotten too comfortable so you can continue to grow. You’re not only gaining courage to step out of your comfort zone but you’re learning how to best map your direction so you don’t get thrown off course along the way.

Overall, it’s time to stop settling out of fear that you can’t get (or don’t deserve) what you want. Meanwhile Mercury finishes its retrograde (also on September 5th) in Leo; your zone of identity and self-confidence. With the planet of communication moving forward, you should find yourself being able to move forward too. However, things may get a little emotional under the Full Moon in Pisces on September 6th, which lands in your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. Before you can you can fully move forward, it seems there’s something you need to let go of first; whether it’s an old wound, a co-dependent relationship, or an old financial story centered on lack. Consider this moon to be a cathartic release that can help you to finally get the healing you need. On September 9th, when Mercury moves back into Virgo, it’ll be time to go over your bank statements, receipts, and expenses with a fine-tooth comb. If you’ve strayed away from your budget, Mercury can help you to get back on track.
On the 19th, Venus joins the crowd when she leaves Leo for Virgo. Under this cosmic influence, you’re being called to improve your self-worth.

With Mercury, your ruling planet, also leaving its retrograde position on September 5th, the confusion you may have been dealing with over the last three weeks will start to clear up. With Mercury in Leo for now and in your zone of rest, healing, and retreat – look to the next couple of days to help you with clearing out the mental garbage. If anxiety has been an issue; meditation, journal writing, or therapy may also be helpful. On the 6th, the Full Moon in Pisces illuminates your zone of partnership and marriage. With the help of this moon, you could find yourself exiting a lifeless relationship or if single, this full moon can also help you with clearing the way for you to attract the love you desire.

Incidentally, since this area of your chart is also connected to religious and moral beliefs, you may be asked to review or reaffirm yours to make sure that what you believe is legit. On February 7th, Mercury moves into Aquarius, your zone of self-confidence and self-image. With Mercury’s help, you should find yourself meeting and greeting tons of new and exciting people which can connect you to new and exciting offers. Similar to Venus in Aries working in your communication zone, Mercury in Aquarius ensure that your words are golden. You could find yourself being extra social and witty which could bring you love or a sweet business deal. If there’s a presentation or a pitch you want to make Mercury will back you up.
Things get really interesting on the 10th, when a Lunar Eclipse in Leo sweeps through your zone of partnership and marriage. Over the six months that follow this eclipse, some Aquarians may end a relationship in lieu of something better, while other Aquarians could kiss the single life goodbye, or get engaged/married. (P.s. if you do get married, try to hold off until the summer as Venus will be in a better place.) Since the area this eclipse is landing in also covers business relationships and clientele, a joint venture could bear fruit, which could lead to more money and a wider customer base. On the 18th, the Sun moves to Pisces, your zone of income, self-worth and possessions. At this time, the spotlight is on your money, honey and doing what you can to ensure your hard work is properly valued. When Mercury moves into Pisces on the 25th, followed by a powerful Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th, you could get the job of your dreams or at the very least make it your mission to release anything that detracts from your self-esteem. Use Mercury to come up with a solution to better save and budget your money.
Pisces: Money and how you make it, spend it, and keep it will be a major focus for you for most of this month. Though with Venus moving into go-getter Aries (your zone of income and possessions) on the 3rd, coupled with confidence boosting Mars in Aries, you’ll find that attracting the kind of cash you need won’t be as tough as you think. As such, the Universe will pave the way for you to boost or pad your income this month, which could come by way of a new gig (or a second gig) or new income for launching a new product or a service. Since this area of your chart also covers values and self-worth, hosting Venus and Mars here can show you the importance of believing in yourself and being upfront and unapologetic about what you want. For example, if you decide to stay at your current job, asking for a raise won’t seem so daunting. One thing to note however, is that Mars can cause your expenses to rise suddenly or have you spending more money than you’re making. Try to keep an eye on your budget as best as you can and avoid impulse buys if possible.
On the subject of money, Jupiter the planet of luck and abundance begins its four-month retrograde in Libra (February 6th), in your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth. With Jupiter going into a bit of a hibernation mode, your job is to review and reassess your debt and financial obligations as well as the power dynamics in your closest relationships. For example, if you share a living space or financial obligations with someone, yet you’re the one paying the bulk of the balance (especially if it’s putting a strain on you), Jupiter retrograde will make sure that you have no choice but to renegotiate the agreement between you and your share of the weight. This goes for any situation in your relationships where you may be giving more than you’re receiving. Libra is all about balance and you’ll have to make sure that you have enough for yourself too. On the 7th, Mercury moves into Aquarius, your zone of rest, retreat, and release. With your birthday coming up, you’ll need the rest and solitude that Mercury in Aquarius will bring in order to clear your psychic cache and prepare for the new chapter you’re embarking on. If your mind gets too busy or anxious, Mercury can help you to find a meditative or journaling practice that can help ease your mind.
On the 10th, an influential Lunar Eclipse in Leo illuminates your zone of health, work, and routine. With an eclipse here you may decide to leave an unproductive or overly demanding job, put an end to a bad habit or addiction, or make the move to take better care of your health. Since Leo is associated with the heart, at this time you may want to visit your doctor and make sure that everything is ok with your cardiovascular system. Overall, you’re being asked to take charge over your life and take better care of what matters to you – yourself included. On the 18th, happy days are here again because it’s the start of your birthday season! The Sun enters Pisces and lights up your zone of confidence and self-image. Having the Sun back home in your sign is like having the Sun shine directly on you and you alone. Your energy, strength, charm, and mojo increase by the thousands. However, because the Universe loves you so, Mercury will also be entering Pisces (February 25th), followed by a magical Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th. Under the influence of this combination, get ready for your moment in the limelight as just about anything you can conjure up can happen. This kind of mojo doesn’t come around often so make sure to use it wisely. Love, money, and happiness are yours for the taking. Happy Birthday!
