September horoscope
September is bringing balance
This month is about bringing balance where there is imbalance. The seasons are changing. In the Southern Hemisphere, we are transitioning from Winter to Spring and just as nature is changing her temperament, we will also be going through changes internally. We need to be attentive to the shifts in our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs so that we can return to our centre constantly. Feeling centred and balanced means we can express our true nature with ease and confidence.

Aries
This month you have a lot to express. It is not just the words that you speak that will leave an impact. Your body language, your tone, and the intention behind what you deliver are all very powerful. You can be fierce and forward when you need to be and it is up to you whether you channel your inner fire into passion or aggression. The most important thing to realise is that you will speak things into existence so use your words wisely. Bring awareness to your physical health this month and implement rituals and routines that ground you. Your relationships, especially romantic ones are calling your attention. You have a lot of love to give and receive but there may be some wires crossed in your conversations with loved ones. Be patient and communicate with honesty. You get a chance to reset your boundaries at the end of the month and you can use the new moon to set intentions around the relationship dynamics you wish to create in your life.
Taurus
This month is about inviting more pleasure into your daily life and injecting joy wherever possible. Let your senses be delighted. Use scents, textures, materials, and flavours that bring you joy. You have recently been feeling a surge of motivation to work and improve your finances. That is wonderful but notice if your energy is hardening in the process. How can you make the process soft and easy and playful? You may find you are hyper-critical of your work, especially in the earlier weeks of this month. Release the pressure to have everything make perfect sense. Ironically when you are relaxed and not forcing anything, all the answers will come. When you tap into this relaxed and trusting space, you operate from wealth consciousness rather than poverty consciousness. This is the vibration you want to land in on the full moon. Set intentions that are big and bold and idealistic. Ask: where do I want to grow? What is the abundance I am opening my arms to?
Gemini
This month, the focus is on nesting and connecting with your roots. You may feel a strong pull toward the past or feel a deeper connection to family members, people from your hometown, your ancestors, or past loved ones. It’s important you feel safe while you connect with the past as it can be testing territory. Reflect on how the past has informed your current identity and the ways that you have healed old stories. This will help you to build a deeper sense of self-confidence. You have a beautiful chameleon-like quality that allows you to charm a crowd. You don’t need to have a fixed identity. What matters is that you can be truly authentic in every moment. The full moon illuminates the trajectory of your career. Is your current work-life balance sustainable? Are you able to show up authentically at work? The new moon is one to set intentions around love, and to revisit past loves or old patterns that have come up to be reviewed.
Cancer
This month you will benefit from moments of deep introspection. You can illuminate a limiting belief that lives in your subconscious. Where are you afraid to use your voice? What sides of you are you keeping hidden for fear of rejection? Under the light of the full moon, take the opportunity to release this old belief system. Be ruthless in this process and let it be messy. Uncomfortable feelings of loss or shame or guilt may arise but as soon as they are under the light of observation, their emotional charge will begin to dissipate. After this release, you will be swiftly planted on the path of your true purpose. Whilst there are introspective moments this month, it will also be important to spend time connecting with others especially family and your local community. What message do you want to share with your close circle? You will be redefining your needs and boundaries in both friendships and home life. Journal about what friendship and home really mean to you.
Leo
September is a great month to focus on money matters. Explore your relationship with money by paying attention to how safe you feel discussing it, how worthy you feel of receiving it, and how comfortable you feel spending it and gifting it. Make it a priority to build a sense of worthiness around finances. The full moon is the perfect time to take stock of your energy. If there are pent-up emotions or unexpressed desires, you can use this night to purge what has been buried within. There may need to be a big release of anger and it’s important to let it come up and out so you can feel light and free. In the last week of the month, you will be spending more time in the community and with loved ones. You may find it harder to articulate your emotions and thoughts but instead of pressuring yourself to come up with the right words, let yourself be in the moment. Maybe the best way to express yourself is through a laugh, a scream, a smile, or a song.
Virgo
This month you need to let yourself be seen. You often thrive behind the scenes, working away on tasks with precision. It is not often that you seek attention or praise for your efforts. However, it does feel nice to have your work acknowledged. Sometimes this requires stepping into the spotlight and intuitively you can feel yourself being called forward. You are in the seat of creation, and you need to consider your life path ahead. Use this month to review and refine what you have been building for yourself. What do you want to attract and what do you want to let go of? The full moon is a moment to do a full clearing around relationships. There is a balance you need to strike between work and love. The new moon is a lovely moment to really value your efforts this year and to also set intentions for the final quarter. Ensure you feel worthy and deserving of these intentions coming to life.
Libra
This month there is a deep need to get still and to explore what lives in the quiet corners of your mind and your body. What is it you really desire beneath the surface? Spend some time in solitude. It doesn’t need to be for long but there are answers waiting for you that require you to stop looking outwardly. These answers will motivate some surprising new actions in your life. The full moon is a beautiful moment to focus on your health and daily routines. What practices make you feel like the most alive and vibrant version of yourself? Make a commitment to incorporate these things every day. You will be receiving signs and synchronicities from the natural world to inspire the rituals you bring into your life. The spotlight is cast over you at the end of the month. Set intentions on the new moon about your personal energy and the vibration you want to radiate out into the world. Give out that which you want to receive.
Scorpio
This month can be incredibly transformative. As your outer life changes, note down what you can feel evolving within you. What new layers are being revealed about your character? Be patient over the next few weeks as it will be a constant dance between holding the vision of the future you, and appreciating where are currently along the journey. You will learn a lot about your own inner strength. Your mind may feel confused or foggy at times because there is a lot of energetic information being processed in your body. Don’t worry if you struggle to find the words to explain it all. When making decisions, especially as it relates to business, your body has wisdom to share. Don’t get caught up in all the pros and cons lists. Instead tune in to what feels like the right thing to do from a physical knowing, even when it conflicts with the logical answer. You can trust that your Soul has come alive and is really guiding the ship.
Sagittarius
This month you are encouraged to reflect on the bigger picture of your life. What career goals do you have in place? Are they still serving you? Where are you seeking to expand and learn something new? New dreams and visions will really come to life at the end of the month so note down what feels like an intuitive call. It is likely you will be juggling the needs of your career with the needs of your close relationships. You can strike the right balance but it may take a bit of trial and error. Under the influence of Mercury Retrograde, be as clear as you can with your communication. Whenever you are being triggered within your close relationships, you can choose to be reactive or use the opportunity to explore your own limiting internal beliefs. The full moon is a beautiful moment to connect with your ancestors, in particular with your matriarchal line. There is strong feminine energy available to support your next steps.
Capricorn
This month you can push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Look back on 2022 so far and note down what each month has taught you. The Universe has been dishing up life experiences to teach you something powerful. As you track each month, you will be able to see a general theme. Use the wisdom you have gained, to inspire some brave action. There is some big leap of faith you need to take, and a major letting go needs to happen. The full moon can facilitate letting go. It’s a particularly good time to set the intention of clearing your throat chakra so you can speak your truth. The later phase of the month has a strong career focus. Is there something special that you are keeping from the world that really deserves to be seen out there? You have many gifts and talents and it’s important you make it part of your mission to share them with others. Reflect on your career, as well as what you are passionate about. How you can bring these two things into alignment?
Aquarius
This month your creative energy is heightened, and you will feel very inspired. You will have the drive needed to bring your visions to life over the next 6 months so it is a great time to draft a schedule so that you can hold yourself accountable and not get distracted. You are also encouraged to be vulnerable this month. How can you soften and let down your walls? You have a tendency to detach from your emotions but when you sit with your emotions and let your guard down around others, you become more open to receiving. Mercury retrograde provides an opportunity for you to see things in a new light. It is a time to experiment with trusting your intuition over logic. The full moon will illuminate your finances and anything that needs to be cleaned up or tended to. Be prepared for any plans that you have to travel or study or train, to be changed. It’s important to roll with the detours and trust that the Universe is redirecting you for a reason.
Pisces
Over the next 6 months, you will feel a strong connection to your past self and may feel a stronger call to connect with your roots, with your family, or with people from your past. As you reflect on the past, honour how much you have grown and what you have learned especially as it relates to your relationships with others and with yourself. The full moon is in your sign and is very much a moment to shine a light on you. Take the time to journal about all of the character traits you admire within yourself as well as areas of weakness you want to work on. Write down any recurring challenges that are showing up in your life and you’ll start to see how they are the perfect way to learn how strong you are, and what you are worthy of. It is all part of your Soul’s evolution. There is a special focus on your working life right now. Give yourself permission to take everything a little slower. It’s not the time to make hasty decisions nor to put pressure on yourself. Slow down and take one step at a time.
