September has arrived in the blink of an eye. What does this month have in store for your zodiac sign? Are you experiencing growth in your career life? Or perhaps you're going to be manifesting love and romantic developments? Read on for your zodiac sign for the September 2024 scoop.

The Monthly Overview of Transits This September 2024

This September is packed with transits. It's important to note that in early September, we're still in the midst of Virgo season . On September 1, disruptive Uranus stations retrograde. On the same day, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn. The planet of disruption and transformation will undoubtedly stir up unexpected plot twists.

The new moon in Virgo on September 3 delivers renewed hope. We feel compelled to create strong intentions around our responsibilities. It becomes essential to re-strategize our time, energy, and goals.

As Mars enters Cancer on September 4, setting boundaries becomes essential. The planet of motivation and self-preservation becomes determined to improve relationships and domestic life. However, it may feel more challenging to say no to loved ones when needed and to remain focused on worldly, practical matters.

On September 9, Mercury enters Virgo. The planet of communication finally catches a break after August's Mercury retrograde, bringing blessings to all zodiac signs. Mercury is at home in Virgo. This will help us make up our minds about decisions, furthering Virgo's new moon intentions created around the third.

However, the main transit of September is undoubtedly the Pisces partial lunar eclipse on September 18. Eclipses touch on fated events and unfoldings, creating significant shifts we cannot ignore. This lunation will push us out of our comfort zone to develop crucial emotional intelligence skills. Having our rose-colored glasses suddenly ripped off may feel jarring at first. However, we're pushed to fulfill our destiny, the most essential task.

The Autumn or Fall Equinox hits on the twenty-second, the same as the mark of the Libra season. There's a celebration in the air! This is the halfway mark of the astrological year (that starts in Aries season). We're asked to reflect on how we want to proceed with the rest of the cosmic year, setting eager purposes and goals.

On September 23, Venus enters Scorpio. The planet of love asks us to embrace change in our love life. Transforming and mutual vulnerability becomes a love language. However, we must be careful of possessiveness, secrecy, paranoia, or obsession in relationships.

We finish the month off on September 26 with Mercury entering Libra. The messenger planet is eager to compromise and learn from others. Teamwork will be the most productive means.

Finally, on September 30, a Mercury Cazimi lights up our life. This star point allows for breakthroughs. Our social life will benefit most from sudden epiphanies and connecting dots in record time.

In this Water sign's realm, Aries' fiery energy feels drenched. While this Fire sign may feel less motivated in their typical aims, they will set clear, definitive goals for their personal life, relationships, and domestic matters.

Taurus

This September, Taurus will be most impacted by Uranus stationing retrograde in their sign. It begins right on the first, impacting the month ahead. The planet of disruption brings unexpected shifts for this Earth sign. With it retrograde, there's a need to reflect, introspect, and intentionally work with changes to make the energy move in their favor.

Gemini

Cancer

The Moon rules Cancer. La Luna undergoes some profound transitions this September. On September 3, the Virgo new moon peaks. New beginnings involving practical blessings and responsibilities bring hope. However, the true highlight is on September 17. The Pisces lunar eclipse hits, ensuring Cancer gains invaluable life experience out of their comfort zone.

Leo

Throughout most of September, we're celebrating the Sun transiting Virgo, aka Virgo season. This is the major monthly highlight for Leos. Focused, driven, and detail-oriented, this Fire sign will find success and productive growth in their practical endeavors. On September 22, the Sun switches into the realm of Libra. One and the same as the Fall Equinox, the Libra season will provide exciting relationship developments and romantic visionary dreams.

Libra

Venus is in Libra up until September 22. Libra is blessed by this transit. Their planetary ruler, Venus, is at home in Libra. Relationships and romantic matters feel secure, expansive, and supported. This Air sign will notice they're attracting a lot of positive attention, both interpersonally and professionally. Abundance, belonging, and connection make September a great month for Libras.

Scorpio

As Pluto, Scorpio's planetary ruler, retrogrades back into Capricorn, the tides shift. The planet of transformation asks them to revisit unresolved matters a final time. Over the course of September, this Water sign will need to practice solitude and introspection and intentionally break outdated cycles. On September 23, Venus enters their sign, giving them a boost of self-worth, abundance, and relationship harmony to help them on their journey.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is set up for a motivated, ambitious month. This September is all about their career growth. As Virgo season occurs until September 22, and the Virgo new moon exacts the third, their practical goals are elevated. This Fire sign will feel courageous to take up the space they deserve in the workplace. More attention leads to more opportunities.

Capricorn

As transformative Pluto retrogrades back into their sign, Capricorn feels the need to retreat. Introspection and solitude become necessary to regularly practice throughout the month. Change isn't always easy. However, it's time to say goodbye to limiting your life path and self-expression due to your past.

Aquarius

As Uranus, their planetary ruler, stations retrograde, Aquarius experiences shifts. September asks them to expect the unexpected. Their personal, family, and home life requires innovative solutions. Rather than taking their original anticipated course of action, they're asked to think outside of the box. The universe will show them a route they hadn't considered or seen prior.

Pisces

This month asks Pisces to trust fate. Surrendering to divine timing, what's meant to be will be. With the Pisces lunar eclipse hitting on September 18, this Water sign knows it's time to lean into the mystery. Their spirituality or faith will navigate them to surprising conclusions. A huge emotional release allows them to choose the higher path, following their destiny. This is a major month for Pisces.
