Aries, you’ve been on top of it as you finish up Virgo season. You’ve been more focused on your daily routine and you’re streamlining your habits to set you up for success. Once Libra season hits, you’re ready to prioritize connections and pour energy into your nearest and dearest connections.
But first, the month starts off with some serious relief on September 3 when Venus Retrograde in Leo finally ends. This can bring a wave of creative inspiration your way as well as some clarity regarding your love life. If you’ve had writer’s block (or any other kind of creative blockage), this is a signal that your momentum and motivation is about to return. On September 6, the Sun in Virgo meets with Mercury Retrograde in Virgo at the same point in the sky. This can bring some important news or realizations regarding your daily routine, major projects you’ve been working on, or your personal responsibilities. Solutions and support may arrive! A few days later on September 6, the Sun in Virgo connects with Jupiter in Taurus, bringing a rush of productivity and possibly even some financial support. You may find a groove when it comes to finding a healthy work-life balance.
A New Moon in Virgo asks you to get real about your habits, patterns, and behaviors on September 14. This is an aligned time to kick bad habits in exchange for healthier ones. You may also feel more called to get organized, take on more responsibility, or begin a new important project. The following day, on September 15, Mercury Retrograde finally ends! If you’ve been sorting through frustrating misunderstandings, they’re starting to clear up. Any setbacks or delays you’ve faced regarding projects you’re working on or your personal responsibilities may also begin to fade.

The Astrology of September 2023
Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest planets in the sky, share a kiss on September 16. This can bring positive news regarding some of your creative projects, or you may simply feel like there is cause to celebrate. It’s also possible that some sort of financial support arrives. The Sun in Virgo stares down Neptune in Pisces on September 19, which can have you running on empty. It’s easy to overwork and wind up feeling burned out today. This is an important day to slow down, honor your boundaries, carve out time for rest, and let your imagination run wild. Confusion can crop up at work, so this isn’t the best time to make important decisions.
The Fall Equinox arrives and the Sun enters Libra on September 22, bringing your focus to your one-on-one relationships. This is an important time for collaboration or investing energy into your romantic and platonic connections. A few days later, some supportive news arrives on September 25 when Mercury in Virgo mingles with Jupiter in Taurus. You may learn that you’re receiving more resources for a project you’re working on, or someone may lend you some support in your personal life. This is also an incredibly productive day to check things off your to-do list, especially the part of your to-do list that you’ve been avoiding!
A Full Moon in Aries takes place on September 29, putting the attention on you and your needs. A personal goal or ambition may be materialized, or it’s possible you’re considering adjusting your action plan for reaching your dreams. This Full Moon is also lighting up your relationship axis, bringing a climax to a collaborative or romantic connection. On the same day, Venus in Leo clashes with Uranus in Taurus, deepening your desire for independence and taking risks—especially regarding your romantic life and creative pursuits. This is a passionate energy and you won’t be holding back! The month ends with Mercury in Virgo gently connecting with Uranus in Taurus on September 30. You’re problem-solving regarding some of your personal responsibilities and seeking solutions in innovative ways.
