SEPTEMBER, 2025 HOROSCOPES
On the 2nd, Mercury’s move into one of its home bases, Virgo, sharpens our focus. Virgo loves details, and with Mercury here until the 18th, communication gets less chatty and more to the point. This energy raises our levels of concentration so that we don’t get sidetracked as easily, either at work or in our personal lives.
Further deepening our focus is Saturn’s retrograde back into Pisces. After testing Aries’ ability to pull in the reins, Saturn’s backward dip into Neptune’s realm gives us a chance to think about boundaries. Do we push too hard or are we still stuck in passive mode? Where do we need to step up and assert ourselves? Step back and let others have a voice? We have a few months to review our self-care routines, our creative outlets, and adjust how we respond to the aggressive, even bullying, people in our lives. Saturn’s staying in Pisces until mid-February, 2026 before he moves into Aries for two years.
On the 6th, Uranus also begins spinning backward (through Gemini until Nov 8, and then into Taurus until Feb 3, 2026) slowing down some of the wilder energy we’ve enjoyed (or suffered) since he moved in with the Twins earlier this year. This is a good time to hold off on making any radical changes. Use the winter to think about what needs changing and what should be left as is in your life. With Uranus backing through Gemini, you could get nostalgic to connect with people from your past. Make time to talk or visit with the ones you’ve missed. Renewing a collaboration with a former professional contact could add $$$ to your bank account.
Mid-month, Mercury’s jump into Libra stirs up our artistic side. Rearrange the furniture, freshen home accessories with a different color scheme, learn a craft. Do something to bring out your creative flair.
After the 22nd, when fiery Mars moves into smoldering Scorpio, passions for something or someone can explode. If there’s a job or promotion you’ve been hesitating about, now’s the time to go for it. Try to keep your cool under this influence because arguments can quickly disintegrate into screaming matches.
ARIES
Saturn’s move into your sign put pressure on you to step up and take responsibility in one or more areas. This heavy vibe might have shaken your confidence or made you touchier than usual about getting your way. Now, you’re going to get some respite as Saturn backs into Pisces for the rest of the year. Saturn’s retreat, although temporary, gives you a chance to review what’s happened in your life the last few months and make any course corrections before he moves back into Aries next February to stay until 2028. Think about what needs to change within you in order for you to change your external world.
Mercury’s trek through Virgo until the 18th gives you a boost at work, taking the edge off any urge that you may have to speak before you think. This gives you an advantage with a coworker who may need help negotiating a situation within a team project. A few days later, you could become the center of attention when one of your brainstorms is tapped as a perfect solution to avoid a crisis.
Saturn’s slowdown helps you get serious about a goal you’ve wanted but let slide. It’s within reach—if you keep your focus on the outcome. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can wait. You’re usually full of energy, but you can also be indecisive about big dreams and decisions. This month, your success is directly proportionate to your efforts.
Stay on course, Ram. The stars are on your side.
TAURUS
Get your flirt on. Thanks to the Sun/Mercury connection, your powers of attraction are in high gear until the 18th. The air is full of love vibes. A chance meeting could send you on a romantic thrill ride. If you’re in a relationship, conversations can turn to getting engaged, married, or starting a family.
You like to know where you stand, but with Uranus and Mars stirring the pot, you could find yourself fielding a couple of surprises. Shaking up your routine won’t put you in the best mood, but, if you don’t overreact, these speed bumps will get resolved without you losing your cool. Some surprises could be welcomed. Such as recognition at work for something you’ve done that helped save money and/or time.
If you’ve been working on a side gig or a creative project, September’s variable energy could send you a sudden flood of attention. You sell out your eBay store. A TikTok or Instagram video goes viral. Stay diligent.
One important thing to remember: Any challenges you encounter this month will also have a proverbial silver lining. Use your famous resilience and focus to stay on track. Have a contingency plan ready just in case you need one. And don’t forget, you’re one of the most determined souls on the planet. That’s why you can succeed at anything you set your sights on.
GEMINI
Can you get any busier? You like a fast pace, but even you might feel like you’re breaking the sound barrier this month. Opportunities have been piling up at your door since Uranus came knocking. That’s not changing now.
In September, your challenge is going to be to learn how to separate the cream from the whey. Gemini’s have a hard time saying no. Not just because they pride themselves on being able to do twice as much in half the time as us ordinary mortals, but because their natural curiosity is connected to a little superstitious fear of losing a golden opportunity. Uranus is testing that trait. You’re getting many opportunities. You’re also meeting more people. You’re further being asked to learn how to say no. Take the choice projects, embrace the best people, and let the others go. Check some of your “what ifs” at the door.
Mercury’s move into Virgo helps you get out of the whirlwind, if you want to, by turning your attention to your home. September is a great month for getting set for the winter. Schedule home maintenance projects. Make time for quiet evenings alone or with your nearest and dearest to take the edge off all the electrifying energy that surrounds you this month. You’ll need to stay focused through the chaos.
CANCER
Whether it’s a weekend road trip or a week-long cruise, Mercury’s move into Virgo helps you score big savings on an end-of-summer trip.
Balancing your home and work life becomes easier mid-month when Mercury skips over to visit Libra. Children may be restless as school routines begin. But you can find ways to keep them occupied with fun projects or short trips around town.
You’re usually the one who takes care of everyone else. Friends. Family. Coworkers. Even casual acquaintances know that they can come to you for a shoulder to cry on and thoughtful advice. September’s energy helps alleviate much of their collective stress by lessening your built-in need to mother the world.
In fact, if you’re contemplating a new course in your work life, this month’s energy gives you a chance to think about turning a natural skill into a money-producing one. One that will let you help people, but from a more objective perspective that won’t drain your emotional reserves. You also have a chance to channel your creative energy into a new hobby or side gig that brings you both pleasure and peace.
LEO
If you were playing poker, I’d advise you to hedge your bets. The stars are creating an unpredictable, but likely lucky, force around your finances. You could get a sudden infusion of cash, and then just as suddenly need it for an unexpected bill.
Your luck extends to both your personal and professional life. But in these cases, don’t hesitate to bet big on yourself. Venus is dancing through your sign, turning up your powers of attraction to ultra hot. If you’re looking for romance, you’re nearly irresistible. Take your time because you can find more than one person who wants to get to know you much better.
At work, your charm carries extra weight when negotiating more responsibility or applying for a new job, either at your present employer or with a different company. Either way, the stars are on your side, helping you to make a positive change. Don’t pass up any opportunity to expand your professional network. Especially with people who can help you see a special project to fruition. Push hard, Leo. September’s the month to show the world you’re still in charge of the jungle.
VIRGO
The Sun and Mercury in your sign help you stay organized and keep a cool head the first half of the month. Good, because you may need to do some straight talking within a relationship. You could discover that someone you trusted has been less than honest, and, although you might be angry, even hurt, discovering the truth now is ultimately for the best. The stars are sending you plenty of positive feedback from the people who genuinely care about you.
After the 18th, Mercury’s move into Libra lights up your financial sector. Then, Venus swirls into your sign the next day, adding to your ability to find money in unexpected places. Maybe a budget redo uncovers a forgotten subscription you no longer need. Or you may decide to clean out the clutter and join a neighborhood block sale. Venus also adds sizzle to your powers of attraction. Whether you’re looking for romance, negotiating a discount on a high-priced item, or talking your friends into a spur-of-the-moment trip, you’re uber hard to resist.
The stars also encourage you to indulge yourself. Buy that outfit you’ve been eyeing. Get a new hair style. Splurge on a piece of jewelry. You deserve the best.
LIBRA
This year’s chaotic energy has kept you jumping from one frying pan to the next. Usually, you’re almost as good at juggling people, events, and problems as cousin Gemini. Not now. September’s energy encourages you to change your perspective from “we” to “me.” You need some R&R this month.
Start by checking your health routine. Are you eating right? Getting enough sleep? If you need a checkup, schedule one. Don’t neglect any part of your body, including your mind. Add regular periods of quiet time to your calendar and stick to them. As you start to unwind, you’ll discover just how hyper you’ve been the last few months. No, you don’t have to bar your door and bury your phone. But getting more solo time is the overriding theme in your stars.
Creating more time for yourself also frees space in your life to further your education in some way. Take a creative workshop on a secret talent you’d like to polish. Take a class in a subject you’ve always been interested in. Attend an event that expands your professional knowledge.
As the month unfolds, Mars stirs up some unexpected issues either at home or within a business relationship. Trust yourself. Your instincts are right on track. Any critical decision you make now will save you a huge headache later.
SCORPIO
Your natural intuition is off the star charts this month as Mars, Venus, and Mercury join forces to send you jolts of inspiration. One particular a-ha moment could bring a sudden clarity to a long-standing dilemma. You often know what to do, but sometimes are reluctant to do what’s best for yourself. September’s energy encourages you to tap into your natural power and take charge. Especially after Mars moves into your sign on the 22nd, reinforcing your self-confidence.
Your charisma is at the highest it’s been all year. People usually like being around you, but now, you’re an absolute magnet. Your empathy and insight help you pinpoint the real feelings of someone who needs your advice. The more you put yourself out there for others, the better you will feel about yourself.
Something in your life is in transition, and the boost of self-confidence the stars are sending you can help you make any needed changes with minimal angst.
Your social calendar gets as busy as you want it to be. People flock to your side this month with all kinds of invitations. Pizza and a movie with a friend. A concert. A lazy weekend watching the game with pals. Enjoy the attention. You’re being shown how much you mean to others.
SAGITTARIUS
The first week of September spotlights a family issue. Be attentive and available, but try to stifle your judgmental side. Whatever pops up, handle it quickly and with as little fuss as possible. Everyone, including you, will feel better.
If you’re the creative type, the stars are aligned to push you toward taking steps to put your talent on display. Enter a contest. Join a co-op. Sell your work. Share your wisdom on social media. You could start a whole new career.
The holiday season starts early for you, Archer, when the invitations start arriving by mail, text, and phone. Your collective inboxes are filling up with events and last-minute get togethers. You’re rarely short on energy, so go ahead, hop into the fun.
The only caution—and it’s more like a friendly reminder—is that you stay true your principles and be careful not to let your impulsive side rule in a serious personal or career matter. Take a breath before deciding what to do. That little pause can make the difference between success and a big emotional crash.
CAPRICORN
Something (or someone) you thought you were stuck with forever could dissipate under September’s sky. Your life is transforming. With that change comes the realization that you don’t have to stick with anything you’ve outgrown. The sky is sending you plenty of opportunities on every level. Check out each one and you’ll find what’s really right for you.
As you redefine what you want your life to look like, you’ll get a rush of renewed self-confidence. This propels you to push back the boundaries that have become claustrophobic. In turn, you’ll discover that you can do anything. No one in the zodiac can work harder or longer at achieving a goal.
Working with the energies coming your way in September not only refuels your desire to reorganize your life and/or job, it replenishes your spirit. A weight lifts from your soul as you realize you hold the key to a bright new future.
AQUARIUS
Steward your finances. Mercury’s move into Virgo indicates that you should take a microscopic look at where every penny is going. If something jumps out, handle it asap. Cut as much as you can from your non-essential spending. This not only keeps you in the black this month, but will help you during the holidays. You’ll have more cash on hand and be less likely to go into debt.
If you’ve been putting off a bunch of mundane tasks or waiting until the last minute on a work-related deadline, get ready to hit the pavement running. Anything you’ve procrastinated on is likely to become urgent. So, prepare for a few late-night catchup sessions.
Once you’ve cleared the debris and are caught up, think about taking a long weekend to celebrate summer’s end--even if you just flop on the couch and relax at home. You’ll have a chance to relax after September’s whirlwind, and won’t feel guilty because you’ve done everything you needed to do.
A final thought: Pluto and Uranus remind you to celebrate your individuality. In your job. In your style. In the way you relate to others. No apologies needed.
PISCES
Saturn’s retrograde back into your sign tests your resolve. You have, or should have, learned how to better speak up for yourself during the last couple of years during his tour through Pisces. In May, Saturn moved into Aries, taking some of the pressure off you. Now, he’s back to sit on your couch until mid-February. Consider this a pop quiz. Are you going to be able to assert yourself? Set and keep the boundaries you need to survive? Fight for what you believe in? Expect to be tested on how well you can hold steady.
Around the 7th, someone may try to push your limits. Be aware and you’ll be able to field this bump without any trouble.
Other than that, September is full of more serene vibes that inspire you to cultivate new friendships. This month also brings a fresh perspective to an ongoing commitment. You might find a different, more exciting, way to present yourself to the world. You could team up with an influential person who helps you get a project off the ground. Once you streamline your delivery, any irritating speed bumps will disappear.
