Monthly Horoscopes - September 2022. Brought to you by our friend Kelli Fox at Astrology.TV

September begins on a courteous, dignified note as Venus moves into Virgo on September 5th. This is quite old-fashioned energy for love and romance, but rather critical too, so watch out for well-meaning interference from others.

When Mercury turns retrograde in Libra on September 9th, diplomacy dwindles, so the somewhat nitpicky vibe of Venus in Virgo becomes even more prominent. Think about how what you say will make someone feel.

The following day, an emotional Pisces Full Moon showcases both the heights and depths of emotion, in a day that’s likely to bring tears for one reason or another. This is also an intensely mystical Full Moon, so paranormal events or unexplained sensations are likely to increase.

Mid-September proceeds relatively quietly, astrologically speaking; this is likely to be a period when we get on with some hard work. It’s still important, though, not to be overly critical of others since communication mishaps may escalate.

The Equinox on September 22nd is a welcome point of balance and perspective. As the Sun moves into Libra, greater clarity of mind arrives, and there’s an upswing in pleasant, charming social interactions.

The following day, Mercury retrograde moves backward into analytical Virgo, so this is a good time to think about what’s gone right so far this year, and where you might improve things next time around.

Don’t get stuck in the past though, because a lovely Libra New Moon on the 25th is all about moving forward with hope. This positive atmosphere is reinforced on September 29th too, when Venus moves into Libra, soothing tempers and restoring the diplomacy we rely on for successful everyday relationships.

Balancing your stress levels is going to be very important in the early part of September.

Venus moves into your wellbeing zone on September 5th, urging you to take things easy and to put your own wants and needs first.

However, with Mercury turning retrograde in your opposite sign on September 9th, there’s a danger that your selfish streak could emerge in your closest relationship. You don’t mean any harm, but your desire to look after number one may come across badly to your partner.

Any hurt this causes is likely to boil over during the sensitive Full Moon on September 10th. Be careful that you don’t indulge in negative escapism around this time. It’s better to face your problems head-on than to try to hide from them through fantasy or intoxication.

Mid-September is a good time to focus on creating a healthier balance between what you want versus what those you love want. Having done that, the Equinox on September 22nd is a glorious moment for your love life, as the Sun moves into your opposite sign, flooding it with warmth, light, and optimism.

The following day, Mercury retrograde leaves your love zone and heads backward into your wellbeing zone. Use this energy to plan ahead - you know that you’ll be under pressure at certain times, so create positive ways of handling that stress.

A New Moon in your love zone on September 25th is a welcome experience and when Venus arrives here, too, on the 29th, you’ll have the chance to get much closer to your forever person.

Early September looks likely to challenge the way you have fun. It starts well enough, with your ruling planet Venus heading into your joy zone on September 5th. If you’re single, this is a tremendous transit for dating; if you’re in love, it can help you rediscover the magic.

However, when Mercury turns retrograde on September 9th, you may lose sight of the bigger picture - and your other responsibilities. This includes your responsibilities to your close friends and your wider social circle.

That’s why the Full Moon on September 10th may be filled with recriminations over friendships, or guilt or anger between you and a friend. It’s as if you’re so keen to focus on your lover that you’ve forgotten everyone else.

Spend mid-September trying to find a better balance, especially in your social life. Those friends who love you the most may be hurt or mystified by changes in your attitude.

The Equinox on September 22nd is a point of balance and calm; the Sun moves into your organization zone on this date, enabling you to find solutions for your daily schedules.

The following day, Mercury retrograde moves backward into your joy zone, so it may be time to focus less on fun and more on responsibilities and your routine, day-to-day tasks.

To help with this, a very positive New Moon on September 25th enables you to make changes to your priorities, so you can get more done with less stress.

September rounds out with your ruler Venus moving into your wellbeing zone on September 29th - time to relax and reflect on what you’ve learned.

On September 9th, your ruling planet Mercury turns retrograde. This is always a big issue for you, but this time, the retrograde takes place in the most reckless zone of your natal birth chart - so any communication mishaps may be exacerbated by carelessness or too much hurry.

Be careful with this influence at work especially - on September 10th, an emotionally-charged Full Moon shines from your career zone, hinting that you may be thrust into the spotlight due to a mistake or a mini-crisis. Stay calm, and get organized.

Mid-September is a good time to consolidate the harmony you’re feeling at home, making any necessary changes to ensure that you get the best from both work and family.

It’s not always easy to do this, but the Equinox on September 22nd will help. At this point, the Sun moves into your joy zone, spreading light, warmth, and laughter - a sense of humor will make everything seem better!

The following day, Mercury retrograde moves backward into your family zone, so take extra care with what you say and how you say it at home.

Overall, however, late September is a hugely positive time. The New Moon in your joy zone on September 25th could be spectacular - and when Venus moves into this zone, too, on September 29th, romance is sure to heat up.

However, with Mercury retrograde activating a very sensitive part of your chart on September 9th, you may start to feel guilty about how little time you’re spending on other areas of your life.

Once the Sun changes signs at the Equinox on September 22nd, you’ll feel more serene and relaxed, and less like you’re constantly chasing your tail over competing priorities.
