Welcome to your September horoscopes! It’s Virgo season, and though this time usually brings a refreshing back-to-school energy, this year has less order and more chaos. It’s eclipse season which means that the only constant is change. What’s unstable is especially clear on the 6th when Uranus—planet of upheaval—stations retrograde in Gemini.

The total lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 7th brings a wave of opportunity that requires an open mind and an open heart. On the other side of the spectrum, the solar eclipse in Virgo on the 21st brings a difficult decision, walking away from something so that what really matters can grow.

Despite the chaotic eclipse vibes, this month also includes some great energy to collect one’s thoughts and get organized through the storm. Saturn—planet of structure and discipline—dips back into Pisces on the 1st. For all of us, this shift will close a chapter that began in March 2023 of finding a better balance between cultivating compassion and maintaining boundaries.  Mercury enters Virgo on the 2nd where the communication planet is a skilled communicator. Look out for an a-ha moment on the 13th when Mercury goes into the heart of the sun.

On the relationship front, Venus begins the month in Leo. Pursuing connection with a courageously open heart is rewarded under these skies. Venus moves into Virgo on the 19th, and we shift into showing love through acts of service and paying close attention to detail.

After all the eclipse season shakeups, the fall equinox and sun’s entrance into Libra on the 22nd brings some much needed balance. Action planet Mars returns to its home sign of Scorpio on the same day. This is the most powerful position Mars has been in since the Spring of 2024. After all the tumult, September ends with some solid momentum.
