Fall is just around the corner, and we're in for exciting cosmic events this season.

Astrology Overview for Your September 2024 Horoscopes

This month starts with Uranus retrograde, allowing us to slow down and analyze what needs reinventing. From September 1 until January 30, 2025, you'll experience clarity regarding what needs to change. However, the shifts won't happen as fast as you'll feel the need to slow down and analyze your approach. Alongside this powerful Uranus retrograde, Pluto re-enters Capricorn, the sign of structure and discipline. This transit can cause you to fall into the same habits in the next few months — be mindful. By January next year, you'll be more than willing to take a chance and finally step into an authentic path, whether it involves your love life or financial status.
This cosmic excursion will reveal the old narratives experienced in the past and help you see what is working in your life and what needs to be released.
The New Moon in Virgo on September 7 signals new beginnings involving our ideas while understanding the importance of remaining grounded. This lunation involves Jupiter and Saturn in an intense T-square. It can feel like a push-pull resistance to wanting to live in a fantasy, but luckily, the pragmatic support of the Virgo sign will enable you to hold steady. Focus on the body and be present. Begin new health routines and clear out your working space to feel centered.
Set your intentions and begin your manifestation ritual – this new moon will reveal how you can proactively work toward your dream life in the next six months.
Now, things are going to get very interesting. The action planet Mars enters the sign of Cancer on September 4. Our approach to getting things done will manifest through emotions instead of practicality. In this expression, Mars could also raise unforeseen feelings that can result in a frenzy of emotions if ungrounded. The best action is to cry it out or scream into a pillow if you feel something building up, or honor the need to rest and focus on home-related matters. To master Mars in Cancer, learn to nurture yourself and observe your sensitivity to others. Observe first, then act later.
You'll see progress as you engage more with the heart center and learn to maneuver anger to understanding.
Luckily, communication channels improve as the messenger planet Mercury returns to the sign of Virgo on September 9. Our ideas will begin to materialize, and our ability to articulate our messages will improve. However, these next few weeks are all business with little pleasure, so squeeze in date nights or social outings to lighten up.
Here we are again – eclipse season officially starts on September 17. The lunar eclipse (AKA Super Full Moon) is in Pisces, and these next two weeks will be as though you're walking into a fantasy realm. Mystical Neptune aligns with the moon on this day, unveiling the need to let go of a dream we once had. Our emotions will peak, but we are more than prepared as Uranus comes into play, enforcing the need to step out of the storyline that did not meet our expectations.
Begin release work, connect with your intuition, or begin a meditation practice to help you find peace and understanding.
The Sun enters Libra on September 22, helping you see clearly and balance in the following weeks. Libra season offers perspective and mutual understanding in relationships whenever you desire to find meaning. During eclipse season, the Sun, being in Libra, extends support in weighing out what needs to release in your life. Communicate what you want, and remember to factor in fairness. On the same day, Venus enters Scorpio, cranking up the drama in relationships or how you generally view love. So, these two weeks can make or break your relationship.
Conversely, these next several weeks can be filled with passion and a revamp of your connection with your partner. Transparency is key to finding the solution.
Finally, we conclude this month with Mercury entering Libra on September 26, bringing pleasant conversations and the need to beautify our thoughts and ideas. It can also enhance your love or idealize what you want to attract. Libra loves to build bridges and find solutions to miscommunication. This month ends on the need for diplomacy or finding grace after conflict.
If you feel unfinished business, now is the time to find answers. You can do this by reconnecting with those you need closure with or revisiting matters that require a conclusion.
