Eclipse season returns this September, bringing a wave of intensity just before autumn settles in. But the month begins on a more reflective note, as Saturn retrogrades. Curious what the cosmos has in store? Read your September 2025 horoscope—and don’t forget to check in on your loved ones’ forecasts too.

September 2025 Horoscope

On the 1st of September, Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces, encouraging a deep dive into emotional clarity and boundaries. After dipping a toe into passionate Aries, this transit gives you one more chance to review your boundaries. Have you been able to assert yourself? Does your “no” command respect? If not, you have time to get firm. Use this transit to explore your creativity as well. Are you making time for art, crafts, and self-expression? What structures might you put in place to ensure you can enjoy your creative side? Saturn in Pisces can be emotional, so you’ll want to elevate your self-care, too. Saturn will station direct on November 27th and leave Pisces on February 13th, 2026.

On the 2nd, Mercury steps into Virgo. This is one of Mercury’s favorite placements because it rules Virgo. It’s a fabulous transit for analytical work. You can sort out the details down to the finest point now. Your mind is capable of deep concentration, which aids study or anything that requires focus. Communication tends to be precise. However, you’ll want to watch out for a tendency to be hypercritical. A bit of tact goes a long way. Mercury leaves Virgo on the 18th.

On the 6th, another retrograde! Uranus joins Saturn and begins its annual retrograde. Uranus favors change and disruption. But retrograde means it’s better to hold off on making drastic changes until Uranus stations direct on February 3rd, 2026. Instead, use this time to review where you need to tear things down or leave well enough alone. This period is ideal for reconnecting with old friends. If it’s been a minute since you’ve seen your pals from back in the day, schedule a reunion or two!

On the 7th, the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces arrives! Emotions will be strong, and boundaries could get blurry on this day. Trust your feelings and reinforce boundaries as needed. Your faith could be tested somehow, so it’s wise to remain grounded and flexible. Know when to hold fast and when to let go. A sacrifice may be called for, but trust that this is necessary. The more willing you are to release, the better you’ll feel. This is a wonderful lunation to complete creative projects, engage in spiritual practices, and elevate self-care.

On the 18th, Mercury leaves precise Virgo for diplomatic Libra. Thinking becomes balanced, objective, and fair, making it easier to see all sides. This transit is terrific for creative thinking. If you want to redesign your house, you’ll have no shortage of ideas. Communication is tactful, making this a great period for negotiations or situations that require tact. Mercury remains here until October 6th.

On the 19th, romance turns prim when Venus flutters into Virgo. This isn’t considered a good placement for the planet of love. Instead of warm and fuzzy, it’s reserved. Romance needs to be clean and healthy. Because Virgo loves to serve, acts of service go a long way: home-cooked meals and back rubs could get your motor purring. Venus leaves Virgo on October 13th.

On the 21st, the last eclipse of the year shows up. This one is a Solar Eclipse in Virgo, your best chance for a clean break. A fresh start is on the way. If something ends around this day, a new opportunity may emerge. Hold off on making decisions until a few days have passed. That way, you’ll have the facts you need to make a strong choice. It’s also a dynamite eclipse for decluttering, cleaning, and weeding. Put those tasks on your list—and you’ll emerge nice and neat!

On the 22nd, Mars sails into Scorpio, a transit that brings willpower, sex appeal, and intensity into the cosmos. Mars loves this placement, so it’s right at home. This feisty vibe keeps ambition soaring, fights interesting, and love hot. It will leave for Sagittarius on November 4th.

Lastly, the Sun will be in Libra on the 22nd, marking the official beginning of fall. Relationships, legal affairs, and art will be themes for the few weeks the Sun tours Libra. Put your energy into strengthening partnerships, handling lawsuits, and making your home a showpiece. The Sun will be in Scorpio on October 22nd.

Quiet time is necessary this month if you wish to preserve your peace. You can find your calm when Mercury joins the Sun in your introspection zone on the 2nd. Once that happens, you may be called to long periods of “me time.” You’re usually a “we” person, so this may feel foreign, but it won’t take long for you to find solace in solitude.

Scorpio (October 23–November 22)

Romantic surprises arrive on the 7th. You have the power on the 22nd.

September’s social calendar promises to be full, especially once Mercury skips into Virgo on the 22nd. Late summer jamborees, concerts, or festivals will keep you out of the house more than usual. A Lunar Eclipse on the 7th could bring a romantic surprise. This could be a random meeting with a new suitor—or the unexpected return of an ex! You’ll know what decisions to make when Mercury heads into your introspection sector on the 18th. The answer about that relationship will be loud and clear—and within you! Venus enters the social section of your chart on the 19th, which bodes well for your love life. Date nights could be on the agenda—or you might find yourself surrounded by admirers at various events. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st is fabulous for a party—grab your besties and paint the town red! Big news: your ruling planet, Mars, will be in your sign on the 22nd. This transit, which lasts until November 4th, puts pep in your step. Your willpower will be activated, helping you to push past obstacles and achieve every goal.

Sagittarius (November 23–December 21)

Take care of a loved one on the 7th. Invitations pour in on the 18th.

September is a banner month for your career. The Sun shines bright at the highest point of your chart, with Mercury partnering up on the 2nd. This combo elevates your role as an inspirational leader. You can impress your coworkers or the public if you lean into this dynamic vibe. However, a Mars-Jupiter square on the 4th could bring out your hypocritical side. Avoid that if you want to protect your rep. A family matter needs your attention around the 7th’s Lunar Eclipse. This could be a challenging day, so be prepared to handle issues swiftly. Your social life perks up when Mercury hops into your 11th house on the 18th. After so much focus on work, it’s time to play! Venus in Virgo on the 19th brings accolades as your reputation continues to flourish. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st could be a true star-turn moment. A promotion, new opportunity, or fame is possible. Mars in your introspection zone on the 22nd is dynamite for behind-the-scenes projects. However, the Sun’s entry into social butterfly Libra on the 22nd pulls you into the party circuit and away from pet projects. Work CAN wait.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19)

Take a trip on the 7th or 21st. Your social life picks up on the 22nd.

As summer winds down, you may feel like squeezing in one more trip before the weather turns gloomy. A busy travel sector ensures you have opportunities to go as far as you want. The best days for your journeys are the Lunar Eclipse on the 7th and Solar Eclipse on the 21st. If you can schedule something around those days, your escapades could be memorable! Your career gets a boost when Mercury sets sail for your 10th house on the 18th. Your ability to think on your toes could make you the company hero on multiple occasions. Travels could turn romantic when Venus flutters into Virgo on the 19th. This is good news if you plan on traveling with a partner. But if you’re single, you might want to keep your radar tuned for new prospects. Expect lots of activities with friends when Mars shifts gears on the 22nd. Dancing all night under the stars or last-minute parties will have you up until the crack of dawn. Be sure to get your rest—the Sun is also changing signs that day and heading straight for your career zone. A burnt-out you isn’t going to cut it. Find balance between party-hearty and zesty rest.

Aquarius (January 20–February 19)

Clean up your budget on the 7th. Travel on the 18th.

It’s a great month to give your finances an overhaul. The Sun illuminates budget issues, especially once Mercury enters Virgo on the 2nd. Go over your situation with a fine-toothed comb. You may discover leaks you overlooked before. Your ruler, Uranus, stations retrograde on the 6th, marking a months-long period where you may need to pause before making a pivot. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th reveals a financial situation that needs your attention. If something pops up like an unexpected bill, handle it immediately. Travel calls you away from the grind when Mercury enters the long journey section of your chart on the 18th. Where do you want to go? Book a trip if your budget allows. Good news: your ability to attract money improves when Venus swings into your joint resources zone on the 19th. A raise, windfall, tax refund, or partner’s promotion could put you in the black again. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st delivers another potentially good economic surprise. An unexpected source of revenue could land in your lap, easing your mind. Your professional ambition kicks in when Mars moves into your career sector on the 22nd. This marks a long period where you’re ready to take all the right risks. By the time November rolls around, you could be in a bigger role, possibly with leadership duties. The Sun in your 8th house on the 22nd increases chances for financial gain. As your star at work rises, so does your income.

Pisces (February 20–March 20)

Practice better boundaries on the 1st. Plan your fall travels on the 22nd.

Relationships will test your patience this month. The Sun and Mercury provide the perfect backdrop to productive conversations, but Saturn’s retrograde back in your sign on the 1st challenges your ability to assert your boundaries. You’ve learned a lot about saying no over the past few years, and now you’ll need to practice holding firm. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th tests your resilience. Someone may attempt to push past your boundaries on that day—do not allow that to happen. Mercury in Libra on the 18th brings improvements in your cash flow. Ideas pay off, giving you breathing room. Venus in your relationship zone on the 19th smooths over issues with loved ones. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st could bring a fresh start with a partner—or a new paramour! Whatever happens that day will put your personal life on a more harmonious path. Your thirst for adventure accelerates when Mars twirls into your travel sector on the 22nd. Take advantage of this vibe and plan a few long-distance journeys before November. The 22nd also finds the Sun in your 8th house, a transit that heightens your intuition.
