Countdown: 3, 2, 1, streamline! With the Sun on an efficiency tear through Virgo until the 22nd, September’s your month to get organized! Streamline your workflow and bump self-care to the top of the priority list. Regular workouts, healthy meals, serene sleep—these are the things that bring work-life balance. As Mars buzzes through domestic Cancer until the 27th, upgrade home life habits, like keeping the fridge stocked with healthy food and powering down devices an hour before bed. 

On the 10th, the Virgo new moon could bring job-related news, like a promotion or a fresh set of responsibilities. Techie Uranus torques into retrograde, also on the 10th. Use this five-month backspin through Gemini and your mobile third house to refine your digital footprint and get up to speed with the modern world. (Solar power! EVs! Generative AI!) Reskilling or a specialized training may be part of the game plan. Leave some room in your schedule for one-on-ones. 

Venus is pedaling through the most partnership-powered signs—Libra, until the 10th, then Scorpio—shifting your focus from “me” to “we.” This is a buffer period before Venus turns retrograde for six weeks on October 3. Inject as much goodwill as possible to fortify your bonds. This will act as an insurance policy against next month’s misunderstandings. Libra season begins with the equinox on the 22nd, bringing attractive “opposites” into your life. Collaborations feel inspired during this four-week cycle, so test the waters! 

A healing chapter is winding down this month, too. On September 17, soothsayer Chiron slips back into Aries until April 2027. This is the “wounded healer” asteroid’s final run (for another 49 years) through your sign, completing a profound journey that began in 2018. You’ve grown from the inside out—and this fall, you start to see just how far you’ve come. On September 26, the year’s only full moon in Aries spotlights YOU—a peak moment for broadcasting personal initiatives. Promote yourself with pride!

The Sun is in Virgo until September 22: Hit goals while keeping the summer glow

Get aligned with your mission, Aries. It’s Virgo season until September 22, your annual time to get clean and green. Whether you’re headed back into work mode or resuming your routines after a breezy summer, you’re itching to make moves again.  

Once the Sun begins its yearly trip through Virgo and your wellness-minded sixth house, you’re typically the first sign ready with a color-coded planner and your plans in order. Lock into your top priorities and declutter your schedule so you can focus on the stuff that matters. 

This Virgo season, you’ve also got Saturn, Neptune (and partway through, Chiron) in Aries, giving your dreams even more definition. You could have a really meaty new project to tackle this fall. The journey might feel a little daunting, but also totally worth it. Saturn is in Aries until spring 2028, so if there was ever a fall to really devote yourself to finding and/or actualizing your life purpose, it’s arrived.

The Sun has been lighting up this order-restoring zone since August 22, and now that we’re on the other side of eclipse season, the cosmic cleanup crew has officially arrived. Expect to feel a pull toward rituals and routines that keep your stress levels in check, like meal prep, workout resets and filtering your inbox. When your life is in order, you can knock out your biggest goals without losing the last of summer’s glow.

Uranus retrograde in Gemini begins September 10: How to handle communication curveballs

Take a beat, Aries. On September 10, changemaker Uranus begins its annual five-month retrograde, reversing course through Gemini and your communication center. The urge to say something shockingly authentic might not go as hoped. Be mindful of your messaging!

Disruptor Uranus is known for triggering sudden changes, and you’ve been feeling those in new ways since April 25, when Uranus entered Gemini for a seven-year journey. Except for a brief preview in 2025, this is Uranus’s first visit to this section of your chart since the 1940s!

Gemini rules your third house of communication, neighborhoods and ideas. Uranus here is shifting your outlook in surprising ways. It may have helped you already make a few cutting-edge friends, or looking for a new neighborhood to call home. One of our Aries friends is currently scouting a studio apartment in a hip area that she can turn into a second work/live space. Another is turning her Substack into a book proposal. 

There’s been no shortage of ideas this spring and summer, but processing all of this Uranian novelty has been…a lot. With Uranus on sabbatical until February 8, 2027, you can slow down and find a steadier pace. Uranus is here until 2033, so there’s no need to rush into any big decisions. Reskilling or a specialized training may be part of the game plan. Retrogrades rule the past, so make an effort to connect with old friends and colleagues and see if synergies spark.

September 10’s Virgo new moon reboots your healthy living

Your fall fitness plans kick into gear this September 10, when the Virgo new moon lands in your healthy sixth house and catapults you into wellness warrior mode. If your exercise and eating habits are ready for a seasonal improvement, the new moon will support your efforts. 

Got a project you want to launch this fall? Start drafting your plans now. Your incremental efforts will pay off a little more every day. Set some goals for where you’d like to be with your vision (and vitality!) by the corresponding Virgo full moon six months from now, on February 20, 2027, which will also be a catalyzing solar eclipse. 

Feeling scattered? With la luna squaring unpredictable Uranus in Gemini, surprise disruptions could expose exactly where your systems need an overhaul. Be mindful not to go down too many rabbit holes, and keep your plans simple. Overthinking will only slow you down. The saying that “done is better than perfect” is your new moon mantra. 

Chiron retrograde switches from Taurus to Aries on September 17, encouraging soul searching

Ready to go deep, Aries…again? Wounded healer Chiron began its annual retrograde on August 3, backing up through security-seeking Taurus. On September 17, Chiron continues its reverse journey, taking one final plunge through Aries and your first house of identity until January 6, 2027. 

This summer was Chiron’s first retrograde in Taurus since 1983, a cycle that could have stirred ancient pain around money, stability and your sense of belonging. Chiron’s retrograde through Aries asks you to confront ways that you “sell yourself out” or give up in frustration just when you’re on the verge of a victory. But don’t berate yourself for this! Instead, get interested in the “why?” This is an opportunity to unpack old traumas and finally process them so they no longer stand in the way of your future growth. Chiron’s glyph is shaped like a key, a reminder that healing opens doors!

Your action-oriented sign doesn’t spend a lot of time contemplating your navel, but while Chiron is retrograde in Aries from September 17 to January 6, soul-searching is highly recommended. This four-month retrograde lap might bring up issues you thought were put to bed or possibly some painful patterns you weren’t aware of consciously. Everyone has a shadow side, and during this backspin, you may get more familiar with yours. Make time for some inner work or to heal some childhood wounds you may not have realized were still impacting you. You’ve grown from the inside out, Aries, and this fall, you start to see just how far you’ve come.

When Chiron retrograde ends on January 6, 2027, Chiron begins its final lap through Aries, a transit that began on April 17, 2018. After that, it won’t be back in your sign until 2068! Until Chiron enters Taurus for seven years on April 14, 2027, get ready for a few closing lessons on the power of healthy anger. Suppressing upset feelings only makes them boil into rage. The world has certainly reflected that during Chiron’s eight-year tour of the Ram’s realm. When Chiron is in Aries for this last stretch, advocate for yourself and tune back into your priorities.

Libra season and the fall equinox arrive September 22

Harmony returns on September 22, Aries, when the Sun begins its annual monthlong visit to Libra and your cooperative seventh house. The next four weeks are a beautiful time for partnerships. Instead of competing for the upper hand, combine your strengths and superpowers into a balanced blend. If you’ve been caught up in the busyness of back-to-school season, be sure to carve some time for your nearest and dearest now through October 23.

Libra season begins at the fall equinox (8:05 PM EDT), launching a solar-powered month for partnerships and dynamic duos, in both business and love, for all of us. But during Libra season, the Sun is at its farthest place on the zodiac wheel from your sign—Aries, and your own “solar power” may be a bit lowered. It’s your turn to lean on the people you’ve championed and supported all year long—and their chance to repay that kindness.

Get started early with any relationship repairs. From October 3 to November 13, peacekeeper Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, will be retrograde. That can make it more challenging (but not impossible!) to get on the same page as your closest people. 

September 26’s Aries full moon puts your priorities first, without apology

Whew! Sometimes, Aries, dealing with people can feel like a full-time job. If you need some relief, a powerful solo moment arrives on September 26, when the year’s only Aries full moon beams into your first house of autonomy and identity. 

Go ahead and step into the spotlight now! A passion project or personal goal that you’ve been working on since your birthday season could manifest into tangible form. Look back to the April 17 Aries NEW moon for clues of what might start to come together. Intentions set then could come to fruition now.

This year’s full moon in Aries sits shoulder-to-shoulder with dreamy Neptune, which is also in Aries. The combination could flood you with both confidence and a swirl of emotions, ranging from compassion to frustration. Channel that intensity into healthy outlets. These feelings are potent, and they need to be released!

If you’ve been considering making a major move around a passion project or personal ambition, this could be your moment to go for it! If all the Libra season compromising and collaborating has left you feeling out of your element, this full moon in your sign helps you put your own priorities first without apology!

Love & Relationships

What’s it going to be, Aries? Harmonizer Venus is cruising through Libra and Scorpio, the signs that govern your relationship houses, putting you in serious commitment mode. Bring balance and beauty to your bond this month. 

In an cosmic plot twist, the love planet will be traveling between these two signs until January 7, an extended Cuffing Season. Alas, it won’t be a blissfully easy one. This extended cycle comes courtesy of a Venus retrograde, the first since March 2025. Venus will be retrograde from October 3 to November 13, a time to repair relationships, heal from heartbreak or even connect with an old flame.

Until then, you can enjoy the sweeter side of this Venus cycle. The cosmic coquette is in its home sign of Libra until September 10, a lovely start to fall. If a romance has been lingering in the situationship zone, you might decide to make things official. You could meet someone with long-lasting potential or finally feel ready to take the plunge with your partner. For longtime couples, Venus in Libra could bring a renewed honeymoon moment.

Could your list of “deal breakers” use a refresh? A good one could slip away if you have a mile-long list of requirements. You may need to loosen up your image of the perfect relationship, along with the fantasy that one exists. Even with an ideal mate, there’s no certainty because life doesn’t always go according to the best-laid plans.

Your emotional attunement is sharp with Mars in tender Cancer and your domestic fourth house until September 27, helping you FEEL into what’s right for you. Some Aries may need to make the tough choice to move on from a relationship (at least for now). And if you’re the one being strung along in a situationship? Set a firm boundary to create space for someone who is ready to love you NOW. Already found your person? Mars in Cancer (here since August 11) is giving you an epic stretch of nesting, intimate bonding and snuggling your way into fall’s sweater weather.

Venus leaves Libra and your partnership zone and plunges into the emotional depths of Scorpio from September 10 to October 25, an extended visit courtesy of Venus retrograde. Get ready: The love planet will be charging up your erotic and intimate eighth house for an extra long time.

All sorts of emotions will bubble up while Venus is in Scorpio, including jealousy. Tensions might arise from manipulative behavior or imbalanced power dynamics. During this transit simply reframing your requests could change the whole game. Try shifting from issuing demands to sharing desires. For instance, “I really need you to…” can be remixed as, “I’m taking one person to this concert—dibs on the ticket to whoever lets me know by October 1st.” Then back up your words by taking a friend if your love interest doesn’t bite.

Money + Career

Streamline and systematize! For the first three weeks of the month, the Virgo Sun is heating up your organized sixth house, ramping up productivity and making you crave efficiency. Any areas of your life where you may have been slacking are spotlighted during this focused solar spell, until September 22. The Virgo new moon on the 10th could bring new opportunities. But careful who you partner with, since erratic Uranus turns retrograde in your collaborative second house that day, too.

Dynamic duos get a boost as the month wears on and especially after September 22 when the Sun blasts through Libra and your partnership house for a month. An exciting contract or business partnership could come your way this fall.

On September 26, the year’s only Aries full moon illuminates your first house of self, bringing a venture closer to completion. This is a time to wrap anything you’re not still 100 percent into and formalize your plans for the rest of the year! With spiritual Neptune riding close to the full moon, you’ll exude magnetism, especially by being true to yourself!
