It’s horoscope time! Check out what’s in store for you this month by reading through the larger themes of these September 2025 horoscopes, then finding your specific sign below.
September isn’t a meek visitor, but rather one who rearranges the furniture while you’re sleeping. By the time you notice, the whole house feels different. With two eclipses bookending the Pisces-Virgo axis, September’s theme is unmistakable: endings that liquefy the intangible, married with beginnings that reshape and root in the practical.
The month opens with Saturn’s retrograde return to Pisces on September 1st, dragging us back to lessons about boundaries, faith, and the karma of responsibility. On September 6th, Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini, stirring restless questions about how quickly the world is changing, and whether we’re changing fast enough to keep up with it.
The Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th is the first shockwave. Eclipses in Pisces dissolve, washing away identities, illusions, or storylines that no longer fit. If this phase feels messy, that’s the point; clarity during watery lunar eclipses often breaks apart and floats to the surface in fragments.
By mid-month, Mercury shifts gears, moving into Virgo on September 2nd and Libra on September 18th. Communication sharpens, first in the fine print of routines, then in the delicate balance of relationships. On September 19th, Venus enters Virgo, grounding pleasure in practical devotion.
The Virgo New Moon and Solar Eclipse on September 21st marks a pivotal point: a chance to rewrite the systems that shape everyday life, syncing health and work with nourishing rituals built to survive any storm. What peels away now makes room for structures that actually sustain you in the long term.
Finally, on September 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio, the Sun steps into Libra, and the season tilts toward power and symmetry. It’s a blend of rough work and refinement with the decaying mess of eclipse season and the dignity of the descent into fall braided together. September reminds us: transformation is never clean, but it is always precise, and can be trusted to be precisely on time.

Find Your Sign

Aries - Ripping the Seams
March 21 – April 19September isn’t sneaky, crashing through on two eclipses designed to pry open what your body carries that your mind hasn’t yet named. This month’s equilibrium comes from disruption, and the cure lies in the breakdown itself.
Saturn retrogrades into Pisces on September 1st, tearing open unfinished business in old fears, habits, or patterns you’d rather leave buried. Then, the Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th makes the invisible visible, dragging anxieties and sleep-deprivation demons into the light. It may feel like your world is unraveling, but threads have to be loosened and ripped before you can reweave them.
Mercury enters Virgo on September 2nd, then Libra on September 18th. Early in the month, clarity comes through minor daily adjustments; later, conversations with others highlight what actually sustains you. The Virgo New Moon and Solar Eclipse on September 21st resets your everyday routines related to health and work. Consider this a clean slate to build rituals that support, not punish.
Finally, on September 22nd, Mars—your ruler—storms into Scorpio, putting you deep in the trenches of intimacy, debts, and psychological grit. The Sun’s entrance into Libra the same day throws relationships into sharp relief. Release the idea that partnership is a rescue mission.

Taurus - True Spark
April 20 – May 20September arrives like a velvet hammer: soft on the surface, but it hits where it counts. With Saturn slipping back into Pisces on September 1st, your long-term visions and communities are under review. Who do you actually want to be building with—and who’s just eating your snacks?
The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7th rattles your friendships, allies, and future schemes. Expect sudden clarity about which circles nourish you and which ones drain you. Don’t be surprised to find yourself quietly plotting a French exit from a group chat.
Mercury’s time in Virgo (beginning September 2nd, then shifting into Libra September 18th) helps you think more practically about what brings you joy. Chasing every fleeting pleasure won’t work; instead, notice which creative outlets (or romances) actually feel sustainable. On September 21st, a Virgo New Moon and Solar Eclipse reboots your approach to love, play, art, and maybe even your children. The pressure to perform and prove yourself is replaced with genuine delight and devotion to your own spark.
Finally, Mars enters Scorpio on September 22nd, electrifying your partnerships. The Sun in Libra, the same day, emphasizes balance: How do you stay rooted in yourself while making space for the people you love?

Gemini - Breaking Ground
May 21 – June 20The month begins with Saturn sliding back into Pisces on September 1st, reminding you that career ladders aren’t climbed overnight—they’re assembled rung by rung. Patience may not be your favorite word, but it’s the only one that sticks right now.
Then comes the Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th, shaking up your career and reputation. Something about your professional identity is ripe for release. This doesn’t mean a dramatic resignation letter (though it could)... It’s more about realizing the role you’ve outgrown and deciding you’re ready to be seen in a new light.
Mercury enters Virgo on September 2nd and Libra on September 18th, sharpening both your domestic and creative mind. At home, you’ll notice what actually needs fixing (instead of spiraling about everything all at once). In love, art, or play, conversations open doors to delight.
By the Virgo New Moon and Solar Eclipse on September 21st, the reset is squarely in your home and family. A new beginning here may look subtle on the surface, but it shifts the ground you stand on. When Mars storms into Scorpio on September 22nd, daily routines demand discipline. The Sun shining in Libra on the same day insists you find joy in the process.

Cancer - Mother Tongue
June 21 – July 22September opens with Saturn retrograding into Pisces on September 1st, calling you back to the big-picture questions: What do you actually believe in, and how do those beliefs shape the road ahead? It’s less about dogma, more about clarity in faith, philosophy, or even your graduate-school-level daydreams.
The Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th asks you to release an old story you’ve been telling yourself about meaning-making. Maybe it’s time to stop trying to make sense of the past and let it dissolve into myth.

Leo - The Lion’s Share
July 23 – August 22September wastes no time pulling you into deeper waters. Saturn’s retrograde dip into Pisces on September 1st points to entanglements in debts and emotional traps. Think of it as a cosmic audit: What (and who) are you still tethered to, and does that bond nourish or drain you?
The Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th intensifies the same theme. Something hidden in your intimate or financial world may surface—an old fear, an inherited belief, or even literal paperwork that needs to be closed. Letting go is never simple, but liberation usually feels messy at first.
When Mercury enters Virgo on September 2nd, your focus shifts to money and self-worth. By September 18th, as Mercury moves into Libra, conversations broaden.

The Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th cracks open your relationships. Someone’s role in your life may shift dramatically.

Then, the Pisces Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on September 7th hits your 1st house directly. This is a cosmic shedding of an identity, image, or storyline you’ve carried that may disintegrate overnight.

Trust that what remains after this eclipse is truer than what preceded it.
