September Horoscope

Provided by Tarot.com
September starts on a sober note when the Sun in pristine Virgo joins strict Saturn on the 3rd. The annual conjunction of the star of our solar system with the ringed planet is a time for taking stock, a moment to pause, measure, calculate and plan. While it may feel heavy to some as Saturn can burden us with doubt, duty and responsibilities, it is an ideal day to get real and lay the foundation for future success born of a commitment made now. Happily, encouragement is also present as the Sun forms a harmonious 120-degree trine with expansive Jupiter on September 4, linking this lucky planet's grand vision with the practical presence of Saturn. The alignment of the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn is perfect for organization and strategy, especially related to career since all three planets are in practical and productive earth signs. The ability to look ahead with hope (Jupiter's great gift) is also growing as the giant planet is nearing the end of its four-month retrograde cycle. This period of backward motion put a damper on optimism, but is now coming back -- along with the will and wherewithal to make hopes real. Collectively, these patterns favorably reflect the possibility of recognizing economic realities and moving toward rebuilding infrastructure as part of a long-range redevelopment plan. It's critical, though, that we maintain a sense of proportion and avoid promising too much or overshooting our targets when active Mars forms a stressful 90-degree square with Jupiter on September 7.
The Full Moon on September 15 falls in the normally peaceful sign of Pisces, where sensitivity, compassion and imagination rule. This month, however, wild and crazy Uranus, the planet of invention and rebellion, is joined with the Full Moon to spike Pisces emotion with spicy surprises. We may be tempted to radically change our lives as impulsiveness overcomes common sense. Fresh ideas are sparked -- they may be brilliantly unrealistic or simply weird. Sudden changes provoked by this explosive lunation include the fall of authority figures, major accidents or geological upheaval. On an individual level, the challenge is to awaken to a new reality without rushing into it or running away from it. Genius ideas need to be cultivated as carefully as ordinary ones. The Sun's entry into gracious Libra on September 22 is the equinox (fall in France, spring in the Falklands), marking a change of seasons and new social alliances. Yet the cool objectivity of this sign is contrasted by magnetic Venus' entry into sensual Scorpio, increasing intensity in relationships as deeper desires can trigger change. Mental Mercury's backward turn on September 24 signals a three-week slowdown and a time to review and revise, rather than to rush ahead. The Libra New Moon on the 29th, however, is a signal to find balance between racing forward and regressing back to the past. Grace is the gift of this Venus-ruled sign, which reminds us that with harmony and a sense of fair play, it is possible to build bridges between our conflicting drives and between one another.
According to the Signs

Define Your Goals
Aries September Horoscope
Work issues require extra attention this month. You might decide to do your current job differently or to map out a strategy for a career shift. The Sun crosses disciplined Saturn in the 6th House of Work on September 3 and forms a hopeful trine with farsighted Jupiter in the 10th House of Career on September 4. Bumping up against limits with the first aspect can motivate you to create a wider view of your future with the second. Optimistic Jupiter turns direct in your 10th house on September 7 while pushed by a forceful square from Mars, a combination that'll likely spur ambitions. The exact trine of Jupiter and Saturn on September 8 helps you balance high hopes and realism to develop a plan for advancing your public image. The higher you aim, the more precise you must be to ensure that this first step will support your aspirations.
Key Dates in September for Aries:
September 7 - 8: Push Comes to Shove
A high-energy square between Mars and Jupiter on September 7 gets your temperature rising. Major conflict can grow out of a minor issue, so tame the flames of your aggression if you want to avoid a fight. On the positive side, these punchy planets give you the courage to knock on doors and ask for what you want, even if you were previously refused. Chatty Mercury enters the picture on September 8 with a conjunction to Mars that sets your mind on fire with progressive ideas and assertive conversation. The capacity to sell yourself and your ideas grows even stronger, but avoid being overly insistent if you encounter opposition.
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 21 - 24: Cooperation is Key
Mars trines spiritual Neptune on September 21, blessing you with a gentle touch and an ardent desire to serve others. This is excellent for the kind of creative work that lets you use your imagination and stand up for those who can't defend themselves. The Sun enters peace-loving Libra, marking the first day of fall, and lights up your 7th House of Relationships on September 22. This shift of seasons is likely to open doors to new connections in your personal and public lives. There's a greater focus on sharing, caring, and compromising now that might inhibit your freedom to act independently. But fair exchanges with gifted associates are well worth the price. On September 23, Mercury joins Mars again -- the last time was on September 8 -- just before turning retrograde the very next day. Avoid the temptation to get in the last word unless it's one of encouragement.
Keep in Mind This Month: Focus on what you are trying to accomplish rather than on your shortcomings to best overcome any self-doubt and to ultimately reach your objective.
Narrow Your Facts
Taurus September Horoscope
September begins as a rather serious month, yet your desire to accomplish goals is balanced by the progress you make. The powerful planetary regulators, optimistic Jupiter and realistic Saturn, form a harmonious trine on September 8. Their stabilizing influence greatly impacts the remainder of the year, replaying a familiar theme from their previous trine in late January. You may get a taste of Saturn's severity on September 3, followed by Jupiter's benevolence on September 4, filling you with pride about the work you do. But there are countercurrents that arise as Mercury, Venus and Mars travel together as a pack through fair-minded Libra. Between September 7 and September 9, they each square Jupiter, tempting you with unrealistic expectations. The autumnal equinox on September 22 marks the Sun's entrance into team player Libra and your 6th House of Work, showing your willingness to labor quietly behind the scenes now.
Key Dates in September for Taurus:
September 3 - 4: Balance Preserves Order
Self-discipline and well-managed creativity can overcome serious obstacles now. The Sun's annual conjunction with resolute Saturn on September 3 adds heavy responsibility to your day. Don't avoid any issues that surface, for they will only be more difficult to handle later on. When the Sun trines charitable Jupiter on September 4, your load may be lessened as others jump in to help. Keep in mind that you need to balance your overly cautious attitude with an open mind so you don't miss the opportunities right in front of you.
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 15 - 19: Imagination Versus Realism
These are a crazy few days when the dreamy Pisces full Moon on September 15 in your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes can push you to your limit. Chatty Mercury joins suave Venus, giving you the ability to express yourself with more confidence than you actually feel. The danger of overindulgence is still present, and the big Moon's alignment with high-strung Uranus only adds to the urgency of your needs. Both Venus and Mercury form annoying quincunxes with Uranus on September 16 and 17, highlighting your current distrust of what you are being told. Their easy trines to compassionate Neptune on September 17 and 19, however, suggest that if you keep a healthy perspective, your high ideals can fuel your dreams with reality.
Keep in Mind This Month: You have the chance to manifest your wildest dreams. Graciously accept what is offered without pushing your luck and asking for more.
Strategic Planning
Gemini September Horoscope
Visionary Jupiter goes direct on September 8 just in time to make its second harmonious trine of the year with realistic Saturn, helping you clarify long-range plans, especially related to work. Additional training or education could be the key to advancing your career and earning the respect you desire. Transformative Pluto shifts into forward gear on the same day, underscoring the deep urge to enhance your position. The Sun's conjunction with Saturn and trine to Jupiter on September 3 - 4 could foreshadow these changes, making the early part of the month a key time for strategic thinking. However, a volatile full Moon in Pisces on September 15 could shake things up on the job, for its conjunction to unpredictable Uranus and a tense square to Pluto are likely to rock your boat. Avoid making any quick decisions, though, since a crisis could subside as quickly as it surfaces.
Key Dates in September for Gemini:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 9 - 7: Exhilarating Excess
A strident square between assertive Mars and adventurous Jupiter on September 7 may push you farther than you need to go. Passion can provoke fights, flirtations or competitiveness that could get out of hand. This is no time to be shy, yet holding back your emotions just a little bit can allow you to remain in control. Mental Mercury joins Mars and squares Jupiter on September 8, adding verbal fuel to the fire with overblown ideas and more information than anyone can use. Sensible Saturn's stabilizing trine with Jupiter may help you find balance, but you will have to be patient for it to last. Pleasure-seeking Venus's supercharged square with Jupiter on September 9 may lead to excessive appetites for food, fun and fooling around. A little self-indulgence is appropriate as long as you don't spend more money or time than it's worth.
September 28 - 29: New Ways to Play
Retrograde Mercury trines Neptune again on September 28, reactivating your imagination and adding sweetness to your words. Then, on September 29, the New Moon in indulgent Libra plants fresh ideas for pleasure in your 5th House of Self-Expression. This is an excellent time to try out a new look and a different approach, whether to make yourself more alluring to others or simply to stimulate a spirit of playfulness.
Keep in Mind This Month: Aim high but move slowly. The farther you want to go, the more cautious you need to be at this point in your journey.
Balancing Act
Cancer September Horoscope
An emphasis on your 4th House of Home and Family this month encourages you to stabilize your foundation. on September 7--9 the personal planets all dynamically square Jupiter, now moving through disciplined Capricorn in your 7th House of Others. You could find yourself struggling to maintain your position as someone encourages you to venture outside your safety zone. The Sun's yearly opposition to brilliant Uranus on September 12 provokes you to express hidden feelings, possibly igniting a time of turmoil. The intuitive Pisces Full Moon on September 15 is closely conjunct spontaneous Uranus, tempting you to act before you think. Neptune is trined by Venus on September 17, by Mars on September 21, and by Mercury on September 28, soothing your anxieties. The sweet Libra New Moon on September 29 ends the month with the same 4th house emphasis on your home, family, and childhood memories -- all comfortable territory.
Key Dates in September for Cancer:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 15 - 19: Internal Compass
The visionary Pisces Full Moon on September 15 falls in your 9th House of Big Ideas, yet its conjunction to Uranus, the planet of sudden action, can change everything overnight. If you are feeling overly optimistic about an upcoming project or adventure, you may be unexpectedly reeled back to shore. It's time to take out your maps and use your navigational skills to determine your exact location and your desired destination. However, a series of annoying quincunxes with Uranus throughout the week turns a simple problem into a complicated string of events, requiring you to make one adjustment after another. If your commitment wanes or you lose your way, stop long enough to check your compass and get your bearings.
September 28 - 29: Imagination Matters
Trickster Mercury trines psychic Neptune on September 28, immersing you in your dreams. Don't expect to be rational while explaining your actions to others now, even though the Libra New Moon on September 29 can help you understand both sides of the equation. Use these days to develop a logical framework for your current activities, but don't toss out what comes to you in an intuitive flash. Instead, find a way to blend the best of your fantasies with your present reality.
Keep in Mind This Month: Unexpected events may require immediate attention, but don't change your overall direction -- the distractions will fade, allowing you to continue on your way.
Sudden Changes
Leo September Horoscope
The big gears of Jupiter and Saturn that shape your future -- especially in your career -- take a significant turn this month. On September 8, the planets of aspiration and accomplishment make their next-to-last trine in a series that began early last year. This provides you the good judgment to adjust your course one more time before the last trine locks in long-term patterns on November 11. You can pour some of your playful and enthusiastic spirit into the mix when your ruling planet, the Sun, joins Saturn on September 3 and trines Jupiter on September 4. A broad perspective sharpens your sense of strategy, allowing you to assess challenges skillfully and chart a course to success. Jupiter, the guru or teacher, turns direct on September 8, signaling your readiness to learn from those with more experience and to generously share your knowledge with others.
Key Dates in September for Leo:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 7 - 8: Spirited Debate
Assertive Mars is normally cool in diplomatic Libra, but its stressful square to Jupiter on September 7 motivates you to be even more outspoken than ever. Verbal Mercury joins the fray on September 8 with a conjunction to Mars and a square to Jupiter that intensifies communications. Jupiter's direct turn increases your tendency to exaggerate, making compromise unlikely. Additionally, Pluto's direct turn can release feelings that have been pent up for months. The potential for damage, though, is moderated by the wisdom of the Jupiter-Saturn trine. Restraint can arise just as it seems that rage is beginning to overcome reason, hopefully keeping differences of opinion from becoming destructive.
September 20 - 23: Reveal Yourself
The Sun-Pluto square on September 20 applies pressure through power struggles. Unburden yourself by letting go of inessential obligations. The Sun in social Libra on September 22 reminds you that you're not alone, but you need to share your concerns with those who care instead of stoically keeping everything to yourself. Venus's tough semisquare with Saturn just before entering passionate Scorpio on September 23 is a reminder that love requires work and that intimacy includes showing your flaws as well as your strengths.
Keep in Mind This Month: Convert enemies into allies by thinking fast on your feet to catch opportunities that come when you least expect them.
Consolidate Your Gains
Virgo September Horoscope
September begins on a heavier note as the Sun makes its annual conjunction with austere Saturn on September 3. You must take responsibility for your entire life -- the successes and the failures. Your flow of new ideas, as well as any forward progress, may seem slow as your ruling planet, Mercury, gradually grinds to a halt, finally turning retrograde on September 24. This month is less about breaking new ground than it is about preparing the soil on which you stand for a garden that is yet to be grown. The fantasy-driven Pisces full Moon on September 15 can bring a surprising change within a relationship, for it conjuncts unpredictable Uranus in your 7th House of Partnerships. The fair-minded Libra new Moon on September 29 in your 2nd House of Values is a reminder to consider all perspectives before you decide which ones fit your principles and personal needs.
Key Dates in September for Virgo:
September 3 - 4: Deliver More than Promised
Serious Saturn restrains the brilliant Sun on September 3, piling responsibilities onto your shoulders. Even if you're uncertain about what you're doing, trust your common sense -- it won't mislead you now. The Sun's lucky trine to hopeful Jupiter on September 4 graces you with a positive attitude, no matter how hard you must work. Aside from the possibility of promising more than you can deliver, your current efforts should bring the desired results.
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 20 - 23: Reveal Yourself
The Sun loses focus as it shines opposite radical Uranus on September 12, sending waves of excitement through your system as you react to your newfound freedoms. Mercury's conjunction with charming Venus on September 14 helps you get away with otherwise unacceptable behavior, especially if you stay conscious of other people's feelings. The psychic Pisces full Moon on September 15 is conjunct Uranus, rattling you with sudden awareness. Even if you are uncomfortable with an unexpected change of rules, just acknowledge what you learn and get on with your daily routine.
Keep in Mind This Month: Instead of worrying about how you can fix everything all at once, reevaluate your life and develop a strategy to preserve what's already working.
Working It
Libra September Horoscope
Work is an issue this month, but opportunistic Jupiter in ambitious Capricorn turns direct in your 4th House of Roots on September 7. This can set off an inner process of expansion that encourages you to aim higher professionally. Investing in a home office or buying equipment to launch a business is smart. Jupiter and Saturn, the planetary planners, form a constructive trine on September 9 that effectively combines hope and pragmatism to help set a long-term strategy. Conditions are less stable during the sensitive Pisces full Moon on September 15, which occurs in your 6th House of Daily Routines. The raw emotions, vulnerability and vivid imagination of this event are jolted to a higher level of intensity by electric Uranus's conjunction with the Moon. The New Moon in your sign on September 29 provides a gentle push forward that encourages you to be more socially and physically engaged.
Key Dates in September for Libra:
September 9 - 11: Personality Plus
Pleasure prevails with a fun-loving square between Venus and Jupiter on September 9. You may toss good judgment out the window to play with friends or in a romantic pursuit of a questionable nature. The desire to fill your heart can spur you to lose sight of your basic values and perhaps spend more than you should. It is appropriate to broaden your tastes and feed your senses, but keeping this within reasonable bounds right now can save you from regret later. A Venus-Mars conjunction on September 11 continues the sensual theme. Whether you are seductive or shy, your ability to charm others wins friends and influences people.
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 20 - 23: Take Your Time
A tense Sun-Pluto square can undermine trust and provoke power struggles on September 20. Repressed emotions surging to the surface feel destructive, but can be a necessary step toward self-empowerment. A Mars-Neptune trine on September 21 shows that you can be assertive and compassionate at the same time. The autumn equinox is marked by the Sun's entrance into your sign on September 22, helping you find your balance while a sextile between Venus and Pluto gives you access to deeper levels of intimacy. These aspects will serve you well when the love planet enters profound Scorpio on September 23. Its semisquare with strict Saturn and Mercury's retrograde turn, however, counsel patience above all.
Spiritual Renewal
Scorpio September Horoscope
This month begins with four planets in your 12th House of Soul Consciousness, luring you away from the mundane world as you seek peace of mind. You are obsessed with discovering the secrets of the cosmos and may choose to retreat from the noise of day-to-day life. Finding a healthy balance between your spiritual quest and ongoing responsibilities is a challenge as the 12th house planets in open-minded Libra square boundless Jupiter. The surge of conviction from this giant planet on September 7--11 tempts you to throw caution to the wind as you follow your dreams. Fortunately, expansive Jupiter forms the second of three harmonious trines with contractive Saturn on September 8, giving you enough common sense to moderate any personal indulgence. You may need some time alone to process your choices. The alternative is going with the flow -- only to later discover that you missed an important opportunity.
Key Dates in September for Scorpio:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 7 - 11: Selective Service
Work to establish equilibrium between your personal needs and your commitment to others as abundant Jupiter trines taskmaster Saturn on September 8. Finding balance may not be easy, for impulsive Mars squares Jupiter on September 7, filling you with altruism. You are so eager to help anyone in need that you can say yes before considering your personal sacrifice. Then, when fair-minded Mercury in Libra conjuncts Mars and squares Jupiter on September 8, you can push yourself right to the edge. Venus repeats this pattern on September 9--11, again suggesting that discipline and restraint are your keys to success, so watch those extravagant purchases and indulgences. Good fortune is indicated as long as you don't go overboard or overlook any significant details.
September 23 - 24: Spiritual Warrior
Your words might turn uncharacteristically surly as Mercury the Communicator and Mars the Warrior join on September 23 for a second time this month -- their first conjunction was on September 8 -- as the winged messenger slows down to begin its three-week retrograde phase on September 24. This prolongs Mercury's visit to your private 12th House of Endings and encourages you to spend enough time in meditation and contemplation to allow you to complete this current cycle of spiritual growth.
Keep in Mind This Month: Taking care of your responsibilities must be a part of your spiritual practice. It's not just about finding deeper meaning. It's also about making your life work.
Into The Future
Sagittarius September Horoscope
September begins with four planets in your 11th House of Friends and Wishes, reminding you how much others can help clarify your aspirations. You're challenged to find a healthy balance between your present responsibilities and your hopes for a better future. The planetary currents force you to meet your obligations as the focused Virgo Sun conjuncts authoritative Saturn in your 10th House of Public Responsibility on September 3. But the Sun quickly moves on to harmonize with lenient Jupiter on September 4, coaxing you to believe that you can get by on your previous efforts. The long-term effects of Jupiter's trine to Saturn on September 8, however, bring your inflationary thinking down to earth, allowing you to successfully launch a significant project. The rational Libra new Moon on September 29 in your 11th House of Goals encourages you to look ahead, rather than behind, and to visualize your unrealized dreams.
Key Dates in September for Sagittarius:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 7 - 9: Play it Cool
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is the king of bigger, better and more -- and he is overactive these days with squares to feisty Mars on September 7, chatty Mercury on September 8 and friendly Venus on September 9. Additionally, Jupiter turns direct on September 8, turning up your power another notch. You could easily go overboard, taking on too much work, for instance, or spending too much money. You want it all right now, and it will be challenging to hold yourself back from having another sweet dessert or buying that original piece of artwork you've dreamed of owning. Fortunately, you receive powerful assistance when "boss planet" Saturn trines Jupiter on September 8 -- the second of three such aspects this year. If you don't exercise enough self-restraint, unexpected consequences could make extravagance and self-indulgence more costly. Impulsive or reckless acts are not likely to turn out well.
September 20 - 22: Spiritual Solution
The careful Virgo Sun in your 10th House of Career squares dark Pluto on September 20, shining the light of analysis onto a stressful situation at work. The path through this tough emotional terrain can stir your anger, especially if someone is working against you. Nevertheless, you are driven to find an answer. Mars's trine to Neptune on September 21 can reduce the pressure, dissolving your ego's need for dominance. The autumn equinox is marked by the Sun's entry into diplomatic Libra on September 22, illuminating your 11th House of Friends. Remember, it's less important to be right than it is to get along with others.
Keep in Mind This Month: No matter how eager you are to run up the mountain, you're better off slowing down, talking to others about your mutual goals and working together for everyone's benefit.
On-the-Job Diplomacy
Capricorn September Horoscope
This month is a key time of transition as visionary Jupiter turns direct in ambitious Capricorn on September 8. The forward movement of the planet of opportunity advances plans that have been brewing under the surface for the past few months. This Jupiter station is exceptionally powerful, because the giant planet forms a constructive trine with solid Saturn as it changes direction. The cooperative alignment of these two worldly planets cultivates solid ground that should bear fruit when their long series of aspects ends on November 21. The Full Moon in imaginative Pisces on September 15 can bring surprises to your daily life and send your thinking in a new direction. Its conjunction with eccentric Uranus in your 3rd House of Information sparks your intuition and interest in unusual subjects, but can also lead to strange conversations or sudden breakdowns in communication.
Key Dates in September for Capricorn:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 7 - 8: Strategic Commitment
Energetic Mars squares overenthusiastic Jupiter on September 7, which might stretch your resources too thin. You could see a small dispute grow into a major battle, or a little task into a giant chore. Narrow your focus to harness the power you're feeling now and to channel it more judiciously in the days ahead. Jupiter's direct turn and positive trine with Saturn on September 8 give you a perfect balance between high hopes and down-to-earth common sense. You can apply your force effectively to bring about long-term changes. Intense Pluto is also shifting into forward gear, showing that you are ready to express your deepest desires in a constructive manner.
September 20 - 22: Spiritual Solution
A stressful Sun-Pluto square on September 20 spawns power struggles and difficulties in sharing authority, but at least it finally brings deeper issues out into the open. Fortunately, a sweet Mars-Neptune trine on September 21 softens conflict and turns a potential tug-of-war into a playful pillow fight. The Sun enters harmonious Libra on September 22, the autumn equinox, for a last-minute evaluation of relationships two days before Mercury goes retrograde, when serious negotiations should be shelved.
Keep in Mind This Month: Responding to the needs and desires of other people will help you enlist their cooperation -- as well as promote your own ambitions.
Sustaining Growth
Aquarius September Horoscope
This month you must dig in your heels and meet your current obligations, but your anticipation of better days ahead tells you to throw caution to the wind. It's an irresolvable contrast likely to be emphasized throughout the remainder of the year. The intuitive Pisces full Moon on September 15 falls in your 2nd House of Money. This full Moon is conjunct unpredictable Uranus and can mean a financial surprise -- either an unexpected expense or a sudden windfall. The Sun's entry into Libra the Scales on September 22 marks the autumnal equinox. With four planets now in airy Libra, you could be preoccupied with theory to the exclusion of more practical considerations. The creative Libra new Moon on September 29 can offer you enough time to reflect on your current circumstances, dream of what's around the next corner and balance the differences between what you have and what you want.
Key Dates in September for aquarius:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 7 - 12: Be the Change You Seek
The stabilizing trine between optimistic Jupiter and realistic Saturn on September 8 can steady your emotions and place your feet on the ground. But staying practical is tough when opportunities for travel, education or plain old fun arrive at your doorstep. Diplomatic Mercury, charming Venus and tactful Mars -- all in fair-minded Libra and your 9th House of Big Ideas -- take turns squaring Jupiter from September 7 until September 11, tempting you to forget about your obligations. Overconfidence can be a trap now, for you may actually believe that your success is assured. Unfortunately, you could overlook important details and end up discouraged when the outcome doesn't meet your expectations. The Sun's annual opposition to your key planet Uranus on September 12 can wreak havoc on an intimate or business relationship, shining bright light on a difficult situation. If you've been considering your options, it may be time to trust your intuition and act decisively.
September 24: Back to the Drawing Board
Your date with destiny may be postponed as trickster Mercury turns retrograde in your 9th House of Faraway Places on September 24. This initiates a three-week period when you must go back over your current plans and ideas before bringing them to fruition when Mercury resumes direct motion on October 15. If you're planning a trip during this time, pay extra attention to the details to avoid snafus.
Keep in Mind This Month: Even if you can see amazing possibilities everywhere you look, you must first take care of your current obligations if you want more measurable results.
Rider on the Storm
Pisces September Horoscope
Just as long-range plans seem to be lining up logically, an unexpected event or change of heart can lead to a major course shift this month. Your newly earned security, however, is interrupted by an explosive full Moon in your sign on September 15. Full Moons always raise emotional tides, yet this one is especially volatile: Uranus, the planet of shock, rebellion and breakthrough, is closely conjunct, releasing unexpected circumstances and unpredictable responses. You may be bored with routine, restless for change and ready to turn your life upside down. It's also possible that you're comfortable where you are -- but the world around you suddenly seems to spin in the opposite direction. Regardless of how fast things turn, your intuition can respond quickly and keep up. The Libra new Moon on September 29 in your 9th House of Higher Truth lifts your spirits and invites you on a philosophical quest.
Key Dates in September for Pisces:
SUPER NOVA DAYS
September 12 - 15: Chaos and Change
A jumpy Sun-Uranus opposition on September 12 can surprise you as a reliable person fails to perform as expected, a shy friend turns bold or even you take uncharacteristic risks in sharing your true feelings. September 14 looks like a slippery Sunday with a Sun-Neptune quincunx better suited for escapism than practical pursuits. The powerful Pisces full Moon on September 15 is electrified by its conjunction to Uranus, while a tense square to the Sun and Moon from extreme Pluto makes this an even more transformational time. There's too much happening for you to comprehend at once. Keep things simple rather than adding fuel to the raging fire. Small moves have major effects, so temper your responses to maintain some semblance of control.
SEPTEMBER 17: Love Heals
A sweet Venus-Neptune trine brings pleasure to soothe the rawness of your emotions. This can be an island of calm in the midst of the swirling waters of change. Indulge in a healthy escape -- go shopping, or lose yourself in a feel-good movie -- to take your mind off life's larger challenges. Moments of delight with an easygoing person remind you of the healing power of love.
Keep in Mind This Month: If you keep a light hand on the wheel, the road will tell you which way you need to turn to avoid accidents and safely reach your destination.
