September arrives as a beautiful blend of Virgo’s nurturing organization and Libra’s harmony-loving energy, creating the perfect time to rebalance your daily life while deepening your most meaningful connections. Thanks to 2025’s second eclipse season, September brings wonderful, potentially life-changing opportunities that are divinely timed to support your highest good.
Once the ball drops and a new year officially kicks off, it’s natural to wonder what your 2025 horoscope has in store. After all, knowing that you’re on the precipice of 12 months that could bring twists, turns and dreams come true often spurs a sense of promise, anticipation and, sure, even apprehension. For that […]
A few key days to hold in mind as you move through the last couple weeks of summer and into the autumn equinox: On September 7, the lunar eclipse and full moon (also referred to as a blood moon) falls in mutable water sign Pisces, amplifying your emotional awareness and spotlighting key dynamics in relationships and in any challenges related to your bonds. For a sense of what to expect, take note that this is the continuation of a particular narrative in your life that kicked off last September. From September 2 to 18, Mercury — which influences how we communicate and think — will be in the rational, detail-oriented terrain of Virgo, and from September 18 to October 6, it’ll travel through Libra, supporting greater diplomacy and mediation in relationships. Meanwhile, Venus, the planet of relationships, spends September 19 to October 13 in Virgo, so we’ll be prone to zeroing in on the minutiae of any experience tied to pleasure, beauty and romance — for better or worse. On September 21, the final eclipse of 2025 — a solar eclipse and new moon — falls in Virgo, ushering in thrilling change, especially when it comes to Virgoan themes, like everyday routines and wellness. Then, on September 22, Libra season begins the same day that Mars, the planet of action, energy and sex, lands in one of its home signs, magnetic, mysterious fixed water sign Scorpio.
Here’s how to take advantage of this month’s celestial events, based on your zodiac sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in yourbirth chart or by using thisCafeAstrology calculator.)
As the sun makes its trip through the mutable earth sign Virgo, the heady, sweaty days of summer wind down.

Welcome to one of the most action-packed months of the year, Aries — a fact that’s sure to intrigue you. You’ll be a seriously busy bee from September 2 to 18, thanks to messenger Mercury in your daily routine and health sector, encouraging you to check off to-dos and research new ways to bolster your vitality. At the same time, though, don’t be surprised if you’re feeling more drained than usual, given that the lunar eclipse and full moon on September 7 activate your spirituality sector. Inviting your dreams and imagination to take the lead might sound like a snoozefest, but it’s a fast track to greater emotional balance. And talking through shared goals with a loved one, friend or colleague could be especially productive during Mercury’s time in your partnership zone from September 18 to October 6 and the sun’s moment there from September 22 to October 22. Then, you’ll be fired up and capable of moving the ball forward on goals related to your sex life and shared financial goals when your ruler, go-getter Mars, is in your intimacy sector from September 22 to November 4.
Virgo season tends to be one of the most buoyant times of year for you, Taurus, thanks to the sun moving through your romance and self-expression zone until September 22. Mercury joins the party from September 2 to 18, so sharing what’s in your heart comes more naturally and benefits your emotional well-being. Around September 7, the lunar eclipse and full moon activates your networking sector, so you could be moving beyond certain platonic bonds that aren’t quite a fit anymore — or connecting with more likeminded people. September 15 marks one of the most heartfelt days of the year when your ruler, romantic Venus, in your home zone harmonizes with dynamic Mars. Join forces with loved ones, and you can accomplish quite a bit. Around September 21, you’ll feel the effects of the solar eclipse and new moon in your romance zone, as it could set the stage for stimulating creative undertakings and positive change in your bonds. And if you’ve been wanting to make strides on an intention you’ve set with a business partner or significant other, you can take advantage of Mars’ powerful trip through your partnership zone from September 22 to November 4.
As one of the mutable signs, this eclipse season is a biggie for you, likely highlighting challenges, changes and transitions tied to your personal and professional lives, because the lunar events this month hit your home and career zones. Around September 7, when the lunar eclipse is in your career zone, you could find yourself reflecting on whether or not your current path is truly fulfilling, or if it’s no longer in line with your definition of success. And around September 21, the solar eclipse in your home zone, you could be on the precipice of a literal move or a figurative one that’s going to shape your family life for years to come. (If nothing seems to be manifesting right away, take note that an eclipse can spur change up to six months from now.) You can also look forward to your ruling planet, messenger Mercury, cruising through your romance and self-expression sector from September 18 to October 6, laying the groundwork for magical, memorable date nights and inviting you to tap into your artistic impulses. The sun joins this zone from September 22 to October 22, boosting playfulness and spontaneity, so the more you can lean into impulses to have fun, the greater the rewards — and your confidence.
The sun has been in your communication zone since mid-August, and as of September 2, Mercury will be there too, so the pace of life — and your mental energy — is bound to be off-the-charts for the first part of the month. Your calendar will be packed with invites galore, and you could be eager to dive into a wide variety of learning opportunities. Around September 7, when the lunar eclipse falls in your adventure zone, your restlessness could fuel travel plans or nudge you to broaden your horizons in another way, like working with a mentor. On September 12, you could have the chance to leverage social connections in a way that invites greater abundance when the sun and Mercury both harmonize with lucky Jupiter in your sign. Around September 21, the solar eclipse and new moon in your communication zone could usher in a new era of honing different skill sets and sharing your most brilliant ideas with others. And prepare for a steamy autumn, because once go-getter Mars is in your romance and self-expression from September 22 to November 4, you’ll have a tidal wave of energy to channel toward playful, heartfelt bonding moments with someone special.
With your ruler, the confident sun, cruising through your money zone until September 22, you’re apt to put your nose to the grindstone to bolster your income now. And as Mercury joins the sun here from September 2 to 18, you’ll also be more aware of your self-worth and values and the effect they have on your work — and the rewards that come from it. You’ll be fired up to go to bat for more of what you deserve. And around September 7, when the lunar eclipse and full moon fall in your intimacy and joint resources zone, you’ll be nudged to take a magnifying glass to shared financial goals as well as what you need to feel most secure and comfortable within your closest relationship. It could be time to release habits that are no longer serving you. September 15 marks a day geared to romance, because sweet Venus in your sign harmonizes with go-getter Mars. Send that flirtatious text or write a love letter to send sparks flying. Around September 21, when the solar eclipse falls in your money zone, you may be well on your way to a more gratifying work situation that benefits your bottom line. It can be tough to embrace big changes, for you as a fixed sign especially, but you can trust that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Welcome to one of — if not the — most game-changing month of 2025 for you, Virgo. For starters, your ruling planet, messenger Mercury moves into your sign on September 2, cranking up your cerebral energy. You can easily be more self-assured and impactful when asserting yourself, and September 13 brings this vibe in spades when the sun and Mercury link up in your sign. But first, the lunar eclipse and full moon in your partnership zone on September 7 could deliver twists and turns in your one-on-one bonds that you, to be fair, have likely seen coming for months now. It’s time to be real about what you need — personally, professionally or both — and if a certain bond isn’t right for you in the long run, it may be time to not only acknowledge but act on those emotions. You can also find time to research and explore new moneymaking opportunities from September 18 to October 6, because Mercury will be in your income zone, supporting more communication, tech and even travel related to cash flow. You’ll also find you can more readily attract more of what brings you pleasure and activates your creative juices from September 19 to October 13, because romantic Venus will be in your sign. The September 21 solar eclipse could spotlight a major milestone you’re moving through or on the brink of tackling, likely related to how you’re perceived by the world. Nurturing your self-image and self-esteem will be integral to making the most of the moment.
You’re eager to prioritize introspection more than usual, as the sun continues to make its way through your spirituality zone from August 22 to September 22. Focusing on more meditation, deep breathing and allowing yourself to slow down and dream actually feels productive, especially once messenger Mercury is there, too, from September 2 to 18. You’ll be taking a step back to consider how happy you are with your current everyday routine and approach to wellness around the September 7 lunar eclipse and full moon in your wellness zone. If you’re stretching yourself too thin, struggling to build in time for self-care or surrounded by people whose energy just doesn’t match your own, it could be time to move in a direction that better supports your vitality. Asserting your needs comes even more easily once Mercury’s in your sign from September 18 to October 6 — and the sun’s time there also benefits your confidence from September 22 to October 22. You can also build momentum on money-related aspirations while go-getter Mars activates your income zone from September 22 to November 4.
Although you often default to chilling at home with loved ones, this is a month that lends itself to connecting with your community and social circle more than usual, as the sun will be in your friendships sector until September 22, and Mercury’s there from September 2 to 18. If you’re already working on a team project that’s close to your heart, you can build serious momentum now, and if not, you could find that you can more readily connect with people — whether on the job or in your neighborhood — whose goals and spirit align with your own. You’ll be compelled to pour more energy and heart into your closest bonds and to wear your heart on your sleeve with your nearest and dearest around September 7 when the lunar eclipse falls in your self-expression zone. Tapping into vivid dreams for inspiration and tending to your psychological well-being appeals more than usual as Mercury cruises through your spirituality zone from September 18 to October 6, offering a sneak peek of Libra season, which spans September 22 to October 22. At the same time, your inner drive and most burning passions will be pretty much impossible to ignore once go-getter Mars, your co-ruling planet, is in your sign from September 22 to November 4. This will be a period during which you can really hit the gas while pushing toward your ideal future.
September will be an especially memorable month for you, Sag, because this eclipse season impacts the mutable signs more than others. You’ll feel it the most when it comes to your professional path and inner emotional life, because the lunar events this month hit your home and career zones. For starters, the September 7 eclipse in your home zone brings your attention to dynamics with loved ones, old emotional wounds or any changes related to your actual physical home. If you’ve been wanting to move or to address an ongoing issue with a loved one, the shifts you’re craving could be on the horizon. On September 15, eye-opening experiences with a loved one, significant other or dear friend could set the stage for sweet memories, thanks to romantic Venus in your adventure zone forming a friendly angle to go-getter Mars in your long-term wishes sector. And around September 21, you could experience illuminating changes related to your professional trajectory when the solar eclipse and new moon falls in your career zone. Think: more recognition or opportunity to step into the spotlight — potentially even a leadership position. Even if you’re running the show, you’ll find serving as part of a team is especially satisfying and vitality-boosting as the sun cruises through your friendships zone from September 22 to October 22.
Since Virgo season has been in full swing, you’ve been eager to shake up mundane routines and see new sights, thanks to the sun spending time in your adventure zone, and that vibe absolutely continues, especially as Mercury joins the party from September 2 to 18. Cue lots of intellectual stimulation from soaking up knowledge, perhaps alongside a mentor, or making new connections outside of your social circle. And you could be especially compelled to brainstorm and trade notes with friends, pick up new skills or embrace any opportunity to travel around September 7, when the lunar eclipse and full moon activate your communication zone. Despite feeling so restless, you’re apt to be as industrious as ever this month, particularly once Mercury is in your career sector from September 18 to October 6 — and the sun follows suit from September 22 to October 22. You have the confidence, vision, focus and sense of authority to share big picture ideas — and earn well-deserved recognition for all your hard work. And with money-savvy Venus in your higher learning zone from September 19 to October 13, your eagerness to break free of typical approaches can actually lead to financial wins.
This month is bound to be a deeply emotional month for you, Aquarius, because not only is the sun in your intimacy zone until September 22, but messenger Mercury spends time there too, from September 2 to 18. As challenging as it could be, reflecting on and talking through your innermost desires and what you need to feel most secure can bring you even closer to your significant other or someone special. The September 7 lunar eclipse and full moon in your money sector requires you to be real with yourself about any routines, habits or approaches that are holding you back financially. And a couple of weeks later, when the solar eclipse activates your intimacy zone on September 21, you can embrace new beginnings tied to investment or earning aspirations that you share with a loved one. As heavy as this might all sound, there are moments of levity throughout the month, too, like on September 15 when romantic Venus in your partnership zone harmonizes with sexy Mars in your adventure sector, potentially hosting a fireworks-spurring moment within a one-on-one bond. And you can hit the ground running when it comes to ambitious professional goals from September 22 to November 4 while action-oriented Mars is in your career zone.
You’ve likely been feeling the tides of change intensifying lately, Pisces, and this month finally brings major changes and realizations around close one-on-one relationships, passion projects and how you’re perceived by the world. To begin, the September 7 lunar eclipse falls in your sign and self-image zone, ushering in an emotional moment and potentially a turning point within one of your closest bonds. You’ll crave greater clarity around your needs, sense of purpose and path, and you can trust that any shifts that happen now are pulling you toward the vision you’re dreaming of. The September 21 solar eclipse plays a part in this journey, too, as it falls in your partnership zone, kicking off a new chapter within your bonds. You may need to get real with yourself about the facts, details and your longer-term goals within a particular relationship. As daunting as this may be, you’ll begin to feel a building restlessness that empowers you to move beyond what’s familiar and comfortable in order to pursue personal growth, because from September 22 to November 4, Mars activates your adventure and higher learning zone.
Remember, dear reader, that every planetary shift this September is working in your favor, bringing you closer to the life you’ve been dreaming of. Trust in the timing of your journey—the universe has beautiful plans for you. Embrace these changes with an open heart, knowing that your brightest days are ahead.
