Your September 2024 Horoscope Has Arrived

For the last time in our lifetimes, Pluto will also move back into Capricorn this month and remain there until November 19. This is a transit that will reaffirm teachings about power and responsibility and how we can leverage our individual sway for our collective betterment. In astrology, the celestial energies of Capricorn and Pluto are strong in both will and determination, with neither likely to stop until it achieves its goal. Prepare for misinformation to be outed as just that, and for people to see the light that has cowered in the darkness for so long.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

If you’ve been feeling disenfranchised or lost, dear Aries, fear not – September will provide the clarity and sense of purpose you’ve quietly been craving. On September 3, the New Moon enters Virgo and will land in your tenth house – the house of your career – so get ready to manifest your biggest and wildest dreams because this is a month that’s about rolling up your sleeves and making magic happen.

To really allow the powers of this month to bring abundance into your life, speak your dreams into existence; tell anybody who’ll listen and write them over and over again in journals until you begin to feel the traction of them transitioning from the virtual to reality.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This month will provide emotional healing for those Taureans who need it. On September 1, Uranus, which is known as the Planet of Rebellion, will begin its retrograde, peeling the curtain back on the shifts that need to be made in people’s lives. When Uranus retrogrades it usually happens in conjunction with people re-evaluating the changes that are required of them to align with their truest and deepest desires.

If that feels heavy, the New Moon in Virgo will ease some of the more strategic requirements of this celestial shift. In order to shift our inner landscape, sometimes we need a little guidance, and that clarity will be provided in abundance by the New Moon – so stay in tune with your inner voice and the emotional cleansing you may well need to prioritise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

If you’ve felt like this year has been something of a stop-start rollercoaster, then prepare to be released from the shackles of uncertainty. The New Moon in Virgo will land in your fourth house, the house of home, which will calm the stormy waters you may have been experiencing domestically of late.

Remember that fortune favours the bold, and the calming of your home life will enable you to step forward in the endeavour you’ve embarked upon with boldness. No cowering in the shadows for you this month, dear Gemini…

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Not everybody has your best interests at heart, dear Cancer, and this September prepare for that revelation to really make itself known to you. Pluto’s retrograde in Capricorn will land in your seventh house, the house of relationships, so get ready to confront some potentially difficult truths about those who you allow close to you. The hard truth is that not all is quite as it may seem with some of your nearest and dearest.

Mars enters Cancer on September 4 too, which may well poke and prod you to finally do something about that which you’ve ignored for far too long. Ultimately though, growth only happens when we’re uncomfortable, so be sure to remind yourself of that when the going gets tough.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

In astrology, the second house represents personal possessions, finances and emotions, and this month the New Moon in Virgo will land in yours on September 16 – making this a pivotal time for any and all career-oriented decisions that may be on the horizon. Be sure to ignore the naysayers who may not be championing you; remember who you are, where you come from, and the unique gifts that only you have to offer the world. Nobody does it quite like you, and you’d do well to keep that front of mind.

This month might not be plain-sailing (Mars entering Cancer on September 4 will provide some challenges to you too, Leo), but remember that without pressure, we’d never have diamonds. Sometimes perseverance, endurance and tenacity really are the keys to unlocking true and lasting happiness.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Oh Virgo, to be you this month. The Full Moon eclipse in Pisces will occur in your zone of relationships, so prepare to strengthen, widen and nurture your inner circle of unwavering supporters. No man is an island, so make sure that you’re showing love and appreciation to the people who continue to lift you up and support you unequivocally – they’re one of life’s few and true treasures.

New Moons in Virgo can also kick-start ideas and conversations, so expect epiphanies galore this month. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, there’s nothing like a Virgo’s energy to help realign priorities and re-configure the route to success. Just be sure to write all of them down so that you can strategise in the best way possible.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

If you’ve felt as though you’ve been on pause, then September is the month to finally press play once again. Mars enters your tenth house of career on September 4, making this a month that will prove key in the process of making your dreams a reality. Ask yourself: are you happy in your job? If you could, what would you change? If there are answers you crave to any work-related queries, this is the month to delve into sourcing them for yourself.

In a real celestial double-whammy, the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces will reveal an abundance of cool and creative ideas to you. Take note of the stream of thoughts that come to you and remember that if you dream it, you can do it.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Congratulations are in order for you, dear Scorpio. The deal you’ve been waiting for is almost done and completion is on the horizon. It might not have been an easy journey to get here, but remember that nothing worth having ever came easy. The wait is always eventually worth it. You’ve got Uranus to thank for this triumph; all that’s left for you to do is to trust in the process and those you have ushered into your sacred circle.

Your ruling planet, Mars, lands in your ninth house of travel, education, and beliefs on September 4, marking the beginning of a two-month stay. This may well trigger growing pains in your personal life that prove tricky to extrapolate yourself from, but this month will give you the space that you need to calcify your feelings on the matter. Remember that everything you need to weather the storm is already inside of you, this may well just be a case of needing to rejig your priorities.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

This month is set to be one of re-evaluation for you, Sagittarius. The New Moon in Virgo will provide you with the space and inclination to clarify what exactly your goals and ambitions are for yourself, while on September 4, Mercury will transit into Leo in your ninth house of mental exploration and academic stimulus. If there’s a brainstorm you’ve been deferring, now’s the time to strike while the iron’s hot.

Similarly, for those who are feeling as though the path they’re on may not be the best path for them, consider seeking guidance from friends and mentors during the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

When Pluto first re-entered through Capricorn back in 2008, it may well have felt as though it happened in tandem with you becoming the strongest and most formidable version of yourself. That unwavering confidence in yourself, who you are and what you stand for? It came from the celestial powers among us, and on September 1 Pluto re-enters Capricorn once again. What does this mean for you? It means that, until November when Pluto moves on for good, your new-found strength and tenacity will be tested to the limit.

On September 4, Mars will land in your seventh house of significant others, which will reveal to you who your true friends really are. Take solace, though, in the fact that if there was ever a sign in the zodiac that was made to weather these kinds of challenges, it’s you, dear Capricorn.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

There are shifts on the horizon for you this month, Aquarius. Mars enters your sixth house of work on September 4, prompting you to confront your deepest, darkest fears about how satisfied you really are doing what you do for a living, before the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17 ushers in a slew of money-making opportunities. Don’t shy away from asking yourself difficult questions.

Staying in the present with your trusted inner circle will help you to stay focussed this month. Allow yourself to be teachable; nothing good ever came from being stagnant, after all.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

There’s nothing worse than feeling stuck in a rut, but this month, prepare to free yourself from the restraints that have been weighing so heavily on you. A new wave of inspiration will come to you during the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17; embrace the momentum that this period brings you.

Not only are the seasons changing but you are too, and you’d do well to remind yourself of that. Nothing stays the same, including you, dear Pisces. Just don’t go forgetting it.
