As we enter Virgo season, we become more pragmatic and take the time to tend to our mind-body connection with clarity and focus
ARIES
While you like to boost ahead, charging at your own pace, September brings a necessary halt that allows you to carefully assess your attitude towards action. It is time to start slowing down, and learn how to aim for precision over forceful impact, when it comes to going after what you want. The Full Moon in Pisces illuminates a hidden need for solitude and calm, and can serve as a period of emotional purging of an old history that no longer suits your present. Your ruler, Mars, stations retrograde on September 9, marking an important period of change for your personal identity. You know how to fuel a fire, but it's time to exercise those breaks, and take a breather from reacting. With a newfound sense of traction and groundedness, you end September with a greater sense of containment and personal calm.
TAURUS
With the Sun in Virgo, a fellow Earth sign, you are blessed with the focus and resolve of getting things done. With so many glittering artistic projects on the horizon, you can utilise this time to see visions reach fruition, as solutions that seemed hard to reach become suddenly obvious. Mars retrograde travels through your region of past relationships, so although you may feel tempted to air out some old resentments, a cautious approach is encouraged. You are quick to move, which is helpful when it comes to setting your sights on a bright future, but can be problematic when seeking out confrontation. Try to channel that fire towards productive endeavors, as you are being ushered ahead with ease.
GEMINI
The Pisces Full Moon signifies a lofty development in your professional sphere. Something important is culminating for you, dear Gemini, and you are ready to celebrate an important milestone. With Mercury, your ruler, moving into fair-faced Libra, you are eager to curate your home and work spaces to match the career you want. From there, you are taking inventory of future hopes and wishes, and examining what you believe is possible next. Refrain from taking any brash action, as Mars, planet of conflict, turns retrograde on September 9, encouraging all the signs to exercise restraint.
CANCER
Despite your urge to stay within the comfy confines of your home, Virgo season has you pushed towards making changes to your routine, as the pace quickens in your schedule. It is an optimal time to find little ways to squeeze more self-care into your daily routine, and practicing nourishing and feeding that inner sense of comfort you are so good at providing for others. You are dreamier and more nostalgic than usual, and your intuition may be flaring up in unusually loud ways. It is a perfect time to delve into greater self discovery, and shield yourself carefully against the energies of others. With Mars, planet of conflict and personal action stationing retrograde, it may be a good time to assemble a new suit of armor and ask yourself how you can become more boundaried.
LEO
After a delightful birthday season, it is time to turn your focus to more pressing matters, and assess the little daily actions that form habits, because they build the life you are after. Whether these habits are health related or financial, you have the vitality this month to see them through. Utilise the Full Moon on September 1 to cut out any unnecessary spending habits that aren't in your best interest. You have a dramatic and fantastical appetite for luxury, which will only be enhanced when pleasure-seeking Venus enters your sign on September 6. Iit is very important that you match your desires with some effort to save. You are definitely in high demand from friends and lovers alike throughout August, and it is an optimal time to focus your own attention on what it is you do want, rather than spiraling into worry.
VIRGO
Although you are always analysing and assessing your next moves, the second half of your birthday season shines a light on the progress you've made in the previous year. You are ready to turn a new page, and bring a renewed sense of identity and personal stamina to the upcoming year. The remainder of September emphasises how you share yourself in relationships, dear Virgo, and it may be time to take note of where you are martyring yourself for someone else's cause. If someone is overinvolved, or perhaps under involved, you have the chance to draw a clear line in the sand and limit other people's access to your energy.
LIBRA
Happy Birthday, early Libras! You can utilise this period to celebrate your growth, to refine your wardrobe and galavant around town (if restrictions permit) with your nearest and dearest. Despite the pep in your step, be cautious of flared tempers and hot-headed discussions in your relationships this month. Mars, planet of conflict, stations retrograde in your area of partnerships, perhaps revealing where you need to reconfigure relationships. It’s important that you aren’t the only party making compromises, especially because Libra season is about finding even playing ground. Try to strategise and remain open to finding solutions, rather than making impulsive decisions (like running away) in order to appease your own desire for quietude. Towards the end of the month, the mood brightens, and you have a full social schedule to keep up with.
SCORPIO
September brings hard-earned recognition to your professional efforts, and you have the chance to make unexpected contacts who are more than willing to help you reach the next step. The Pisces Full Moon emphasises your need for creative appreciation from your community, and you may be surprised by how well you are received when you allow yourself to be seen. You have a knack for hiding when you want to, but now is the time to let your efforts be known by a wider audience. When your traditional ruler, Mars, stations retrograde, you are examining where you dedicate your energy and focus. Rather than impulsively charging towards the next possible move, stay cool, collected and calculated.

SAGITTARIUS
Virgo season imbues a sense of a greater vision for career matters, and you are ready to direct your expansive outlook to determining where you need to go next. Fiery Mars stations retrograde on September 9, adding flares of tempers for all the signs, so try to practice patience, and deter from making any brash decisions. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, goes direct on September 12, further enhancing your desire to grow and bringing a more playful energy to your daily life. With a new spring in your step, you are ready to actualise projects you have been putting off, and have the mental agility to problem solve.
CAPRICORN
Since May you have been less focused on accomplishment and more focused on maintaining inner stability. As the world has been through collective trials and tribulations, your self-esteem has been put to the test and you have been bestowed the gift of greater intimacy with yourself. Towards the end of the month, the pace quickens, and you have positive momentum with career matters. With Mars, planet of war, stationing retrograde on September 9 and lighting up your home sector, it may be time to examine the family battles that need to be resolved. How are you carrying old dynamics into new relationships? How does your family history influence how you experience conflict? This is a chance to change your internal story.
AQUARIUS
Your brainstorming capacities are heightened over the duration of September and it's a good time to determine which ideas withstand the tests of reality. As you take inventory of your resources, you are determining what has value in your life, and what you can do without. Coming up with clever ways to clear space in your mind and home will usher in new opportunities. Mars, planet of conflict, stations retrograde in your communication sector on September 9. Remember, you don’t have to over explain yourself to anyone. Not everyone deserves a piece of your mind or time. Try and focus on the mission you are fighting for, rather than letting your mind hone in on the obstacles you are fighting against.
PISCES
The Full Moon in your sign in the beginning of September illuminates your sense of self, and has you glowing with charisma and self-confidence. As so much of this year has tested your social foundations, September offers you the chance to lay down a new framework in assembling a team of helpers, who support you just as much as you support them. Mars retrogrades through your sector of resources, encouraging you to slow down and examine your relationship to money, as well as health, and learn how to be less impulsive when it comes to what you are ingesting or consuming. Boundaries are not your strongest suit, and you prefer to stay in the ebb and flow of life. However, September can help you assemble new armor designed to both protect you and ensure you arrive at the destination of your dreams, safely.Â
