Here’s Your September Horoscope

What a month!

by Alexandria Lettman
September 2025’s Horoscope For Each Zodiac Sign

September is intense, introspective, and packed full of transformative astrological alignments. Wise Saturn retrogrades into sensitive Pisces on Sept. 1, inviting a deeper reflection on your boundaries, structure, and neglected responsibilities.

Beginning on Sept. 2, Mercury in meticulous Virgo sharpens your attention to detail. This analytical and focused energy counterbalances Uranus retrograde in restless Gemini, which starts on Sept. 6. Privately exploring new ideas could lead to personal breakthroughs.

Eclipse season begins on Sept. 7. Expect an emotional whirlwind when the lunar eclipse in Pisces digs up buried feelings and unfulfilled dreams. Let go of your rigid beliefs and expectations around how life should be and put your trust in the unknown.

The energy begins to shift by mid-month. Mercury, the planet of communication, moves into graceful Libra on Sept. 18, bringing balance to conversations and your outlook. The following day, romantic Venus in dutiful Virgo inspires practical displays of affection and selfless acts of service. Forget grand gestures — show how much you care by alleviating your loved one’s burdens.

A new chapter for productivity and organization begins under the Sept. 21 solar eclipse in Virgo. Your passion and ambition are also on the rise, fueled by action-planet Mars in strategic Scorpio on Sept. 22. Get serious and determined, but remember to take care of your body and mind as you put in the hard work.

Just as Mars switches gears, the Sun steps into harmonious Libra, marking the autumn equinox — a time for restoring balance and cultivating peaceful connections. Move with power and grace, strength and softness.

Happy birthday, Libra!

Aries (March 20-April 18)

Be patient this September. Prioritize rest and reflection rather than leaping into your next adventure, and prepare for your work and responsibilities to become a greater focus. The small details matter. You don’t need to overhaul your entore daily routine. Tweak your schedule, cut out bad habits, and take greater responsibility for the allocation of your time.

Every effort toward self-improvement will have a powerful impact, not only on yourself but also on those who are inspired by you. Take care of yourself, Aries — not just by eating an extra serving of vegetables and working out more consistently, but also by releasing your frustrations over the past and practicing forgiveness.

Taurus (April 19-May 19)

If you’re re-evaluating your friendships and goals, remember that life has its ebbs and flows. You won’t always feel close and connected to your inner circle, and sometimes, your dreams may feel distant and unachievable. But this doesn’t mean you need to alter your direction or sever connections. If certain relationships no longer offers what you need, focus on the people who are showing up more consistently.

Mid-month, work requires balance, cooperation, and kind communication. Aim to work smoothly with your colleagues, and you may have more time on your hands to schedule date nights or evenings alone to focus on your passion projects. Prioritize your hobbies.

Gemini (May 20-June 19)

Not every choice pays off. Still, you must take responsibility for your professional decisions before you seize the reins and pursue new ambitions. Share your thoughts with supportive family members, and you could receive practical guidance that helps clarify the road ahead. While you’re at it, rehash a vulnerable conversation with your relatives to seek emotional closure.

Your creative projects and love life will thrive later this month, but only if you are committed to prioritizing your hobbies and happiness. Make room on your calendar to enjoy your interests. Your free time is just as important as your responsibilities.

Cancer (June 20-July 21)

Get organized. Reconsider your five-year plan. A vision alone is not enough to carry you to greater heights; you need concrete and actionable steps grounded in reality. Some sort of ending — finishing a period of travel or education, or letting go of baggage — will reveal how much you’ve grown. This is your moment to show people your emotional and intellectual maturity.

Once you’ve got your long-range ambitions locked into focus, don’t miss opportunities to forge new connections and gather inspiration. Engage with people in your neighborhood, dive into a new creative project, or return to the dating scene. You can still have fun, even when you’re in a season of productivity.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 21)

Are your joint responsibilities or financial obligations causing you stress? Speak up! A vulnerable conversation about where you feel drained could lead to renegotiations that benefit everyone involved. Practical changes to the allocation of your resources could help you feel more in control. Only invest your time, energy, and funds in what you truly value.

On Sept. 18, Mercury in diplomatic Libra dials up your charm and magnetism. Your influence won’t go unnoticed. A kind compliment to a stranger, encouragement from your siblings and peers, or a well-timed suggestion could ripple into meaningful results.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 21)

Virgo, you’re at the center of this month’s cosmic activity and undergoing a moment of reinvention. It’s time to focus on you, making your desires known, and setting a high standard for what you deserve. Reinforce the boundaries you’ve let slide and get honest with yourself about any commitments or relationships that have reached a natural end.

When one door closes, another one opens. Don’t stop believing that better days are coming, especially as you navigate storms outside of your control. Use this time to rebuild your self-worth and make decisions that truly benefit you. It’s not always selfish to put yourself first.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 21)

Taking care of your health and well-being is your greatest priority. Reassess your habits, consumption, and their impact on your body and mind. Do you feel alive and energized, or distracted and lethargic? Retreat from the outside world and enjoy every moment of solitude. With time, discipline, and accountability, you’ll break free from the patterns and fears that hold you back.

Once Mercury drifts into your sign on Sept. 18, followed by the Sun on Sept. 22, step into the spotlight and speak with confidence. Let yourself be seen as you are without masking your imperfections.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 20)

If you’re swimming through self-doubt and disappointment, reach out to a friend who knows how to support you. Let your community guide you back to what brings you joy and fulfillment. A heartfelt conversation could inspire the beginning of a collaborative project. Rather than going it alone, you’ll appreciate having someone in your corner.

Toward the end of the month, be bold and follow your intuition. Courage and determination are on the rise when Mars powers into your sign on Sept. 22. Your assertion may seem intimidating to people who aren’t used to your passion. Be mindful of your intensity without losing your spark.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21-Dec. 20)

Matters concerning home, family, and your sense of belonging resurface again. But this time, you may feel ready for a major adjustment and emotional release — either by letting go of the past, transforming your space, or moving somewhere new. Don’t force change to happen; go with the flow, and life will move you in a new direction.

The solar eclipse on Sept. 21 heralds an excellent turning point in your career. Even if people are cheering you on, the spotlight can be intimidating, so keep things quiet for now. Move in stealth mode: update your resume, submit your application, or apply for a promotion or new opportunity. Make the announcement only when you’re ready to celebrate.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 18)

A new perspective is forming in September along with a heightened sense of responsibility, truth, and patience. If you’re feeling reserved, don’t push yourself to open up. Survey your surroundings, strengthen your boundaries, and resist over-sharing until you’re certain that you’re in trustworthy company.

An offer to travel, teach, or study may guide your return to what you love most: building yourself up. But acting without a clear plan could lead you onto a hazy path that lacks structure and direction. Before saying yes, reflect on how this opportunity fits into your long-term career goals.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 17)

A summer of fun may have led to a lack of discipline. Now, it’s time to get your finances in order. Give yourself a benchmark to work toward, but don’t fixate on an idealized number in your bank account. Prioritize clearing debts, investing in what matters, and ending subscriptions you no longer need.

The final week of the month encourages bold moves. Push forward in your career, even if that means venturing where you haven’t gone before. Resist sharing what you’re building toward with an audience until you gain momentum.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 19)

You can no longer ignore certain truths about yourself. It’s time to reset. Present yourself with authenticity. Be more intentional about your choices, including which connections to invest in. This month is a chance to strengthen your self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

The more you explore your individuality and romantic needs, the stronger your relationships will become. If you’re no longer aligned with someone, be honest with them. It won’t be long before this month’s adjustments take root. By the end of September, you could sense greater balance and freedom.
