Your star sign's horoscope for September is here

What's your star sign's horoscope for September 2024? It's all in the cards...

September brings a turn of the wheel of the year - from summer to autumn, a return to darker nights, shorter days, cooler temperatures, and a more reflective and onwards-gazing phase. Gather what you’ve sown, reaped and learned in 2024, and make sense of the story… knowing there’s still plenty of time to make this year count, to get things done or started!

A long-lasting Uranus retrograde starts on the 2nd September (lasting until the end of January) which is a nudge to step back from over-investing in technology, social media, digital services or goods. Keep life simple, return to the basics, take a breather from the cutting edges of the modern world this autumn.

Mercury moves into Virgo on the 9th September, which is a great date to start a new, healthy habit or lifestyle routine. Set yourself up for success! Make your environment and routines geared towards you doing what you know is right for you, make it the default.
A partial eclipse and Full Moon in Pisces on the 18th September, just before the equinox, asks you to celebrate yourself and your achievements this year! So much has happened, be grateful and conscious of it all. Applaud yourself and others. Practice active gratitude.
Libra season and the equinox unfold on the 22nd September bringing peace, harmony, balance to your realm. Time to look inwards, reflect, deliberate, and come to some conclusions about life right now. Time to heal, process, ruminate on new insights and news. Time to start planning what comes next…

ARIES

(The Lovers, Page of Coins, Knight of Coins)

You are always pulled between competing forces - good vs bad, angel vs devil, right vs easy. The Lovers sees you starting September not sure what mood you’re in, what you want, or why, or where you’re heading. Confusion City! Aries, you have a strong heart and a flair for passion so let your heart lead you here.

But, ultimately, I sense it will be towards a sensible, Virgo-like, practical, worthwhile route. The Knight and Page of Coins sweep in to make you feel shrewd and focused, like if you’re going to do something then it better be good and it better be worth it. So, you prioritise. Your health, wealth, work and home are top of the list this month, making headway on goals, investing resources, getting ahead, feeling good about taking control. You are doing to do the right thing (after a shaky start).

TAURUS

(Knight of Wands. Eight of Coins, Ace of Cups)

So much happening for you this September, Taurus, so keep busy and alert to spot and seize all of the swirling opportunities that unseen forces are bringing you. Here’s the top three!

One – Knight of Wands. Adventure, travel, fun, excitement, socialising, new friends with plenty of energy, lots of invitations to do new things and explore fresh ideas. Grab it all. Make YES your new favourite word!

Two – Eight of Coins. A breakthrough at work. A task or role you’ve long tired of will be revitalised by a twist of fate. So, don’t quit or withdraw your attention just now. Things are going to shift and improve, and all of your effort will be worth it.

Three – Ace of Cups. The best one… a new love or very close friendship. Maybe even a baby or new pet, if these are on your radar! Something loving and amazing will enter your life and you will be at one with it, fulfilled by it. In terms of people, look out for creative Water signs - Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio.

GEMINI

(Three of Swords, Five of Wands, Queen of Wands)

You have had a few relationship hiccups this year. Friends have turned out to be unreliable, untrustworthy and even unkind. Family may’ve let you down. Partners may’ve had bad spells and selfish moods. It’s been tough because, Gemini, you are so giving, generous, perceptive, and kind. You make it easy for others and when they burn you, in spite of that, it’s wrong. It’s actually (I say as a Gemini myself) unforgivable. Let your ‘other twin’ take care of it!

The Three of Swords gives you full permission to get rid of those who’ve deliberately hurt or betrayed you - oust them, they don’t deserve your presence.

The Five of Wands asks you to zoom in on root causes in any current scuffles. Ask people WHY they have done something or said something, check your understanding, give them a chance to explain.

The Queen of Wands urges you to carry on being happy, fabulous, enviable, and adorable. Seek new people, fresh horizons, exciting adventures, and fun. Let the haters eat your dust!

CANCER

(Knight of Cups, Knight of Swords, The Magician)

Your secret super power is that you can command both ends of the spectrum of passive/ aggressive. People think you’re moody, actually you’re adaptable. People don’t really know the true extent or force of your power. They soon will.

The Magician has you in creative mode, inventing a new look / role / lifestyle / outlook / identity. You are changing, designing, innovating, progressing. This is an amazing season for you, Cancer. Be yourself and let all that magic and talent flow.

The Knights of Cups and Swords join forces to help you navigate your broad personality too. When you need to be charming and social and kind, you will be. When you need to be tough, ruthless, and demanding, you will be too. You’re happy either way. Both types of behaviour will come easily. Let them see the full force of your nature.

LEO

(The World, Five of Coins, The Hierophant)

Older, or current, you is going to return to the scene of an old wound and revisit the story. This isn’t about re-writing the facts, as such, but seeing them in a more dispassionate, and maybe healing light.

The World and Five of Coins showed there was a sad, hurtful ending in your realm (a relationship, role, dream, or even a death), up to five years back. A part of you died with that ending, a part of you was cut off in the moment and has frozen since then.

The World is a reminder that all endings only lead to new beginnings, and life goes on. The Hierophant is the wisdom, curiosity, self-awareness, enlightenment and compassion to extract something new from this loss. You can return to that ‘frozen self’ and perhaps try to release them, let them rest, let them fade. This is an introspective exercise that will yield great insight.

VIRGO

(Six of Swords, Justice, King of Wands)

Do the right thing, Virgo. Wasted words really because you always try to; you have a strong moral compass and you tend to follow it. Justice puts that ethic right at the heart of your decisions and actions this September. But there is a twist…

In this case, the right thing might actually be taking a risk, a mitigated chance, a bold leap into the unknown. The King of Wands asks you to be strong, confident and, importantly, led by hope not fear. Break out of your comfort zone, go beyond the known horizon… there’s more waiting for you!

The Six of Swords shows this leap will be a break, that lasts, from your usual lifestyle and routines. You won’t be the same again (in a good way). Perhaps a few habits or commitments will fade and end, but that’s okay because you’ve got more and more going on than ever! Be bold. Be brave.

LIBRA

(The Hanged Man, Ten of Coins, King of Swords)

libra star sign horoscope

September brings your sign’s season so you can relax into your own skin, feel comfortable, and take life at your pace. Be wholly and unapologetically yourself. Too often, Libra, you shape-shift to please the crowd and keep the peace. Not now. Not this month.

The Hanged Man sees you reaching a pause, even a limbo, regarding the Ten of Coins - your long-term wealth and work ambitions and trajectory. You feel like you’ve hit a ceiling or dead end, you feel thwarted but also unsure how to unblock this energy.

Rest, relax, daydream, ponder, ask for guidance, think weird things, ask strange questions, go outside the box, let that powerful analytical mind tool of yours get to work on this.
The King of Swords sees you creating a wealth and work goal for the immediate future this September that galvanises you, and gets real traction. You are smart, you know what’s what, and soon you’ll know where you’re heading.

SCORPIO

(The Fool, Page of Cups, Seven of Wands)

A wonderful new challenge is coming, something designed by *you* for *you* (and you alone - this is not about pleasing anyone else). The Page of Cups is your creative inner child coming out to play. This version of you is enthusiastic, hopeful, ready to learn, eager to play, keen to progress and grow. They have wacky ideas about how to set challenges that will get you moving forwards.

The Seven of Wands is the competition card, it might be as simple as joining a team, entering a contest, setting a target and grafting towards it. It might be more playful and round-about.

The Fool reveals this is going to feel like a blast of revitalising energy. A surge of optimism for a better tomorrow. You start fast, go hard, and get quick results. You want more of the same, so you go harder still. Everyone seems surprised that you’ve done this… but you’re not, you’re the master of reinvention!

SAGITTARIUS

(King of Coins, Eight of Swords, The Star)

sagittarius star sign horoscope
Cosmopolitan UK - Hearst Owned

Get real about what you really want and need right now, this September, because you can make it happen as long as you’re honest about it, know your opportunity and prioritise it.
The Eight of Swords asks you to strip away any and all pretence or comparison or shape-shifting. Other people’s goals are irrelevant to you, except as reasons to cheer them. All that matters is your own truthful heart’s desires, no matter what they are. It’s important to be authentic here because, Sag, you’re getting The Star this month which grants you a wish, a cosmic pass to get what you really, really want.

The King of Coins puts health, wealth, work, and home top of the agenda as wishes to consider. Make it something practical and self-serving so this sets you up. And then set out to make it happen. Magic is going to happen, good fortune will emerge, unexpected favours will be paid.

CAPRICORN

(Ten of Cups, Strength, The Empress)

Beautiful loving cards this September, Cap, so your family, friendship circle and love life are very much front and centre for you. In a good way.

Strength sees you gaining in confidence, emotional intelligence, trust, and respect - all the ingredients of strong relationships. The Empress and Ten of Cups are two of the most loving and romantic cards of the tarot, as well. The Empress also implies fertility and family, so if you’re seeking to start or grow your family, now is a great time.

If you’re single, then look for Taurus, Libra, Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio. If you’re happily with someone then consider your future and how you build the beautiful home and lifestyle you both aspire to. Work together, join forces, be a team in the game of life. It’s all to play for. You have the right people around you.

AQUARIUS

(Nine of Wands, Six of Coins, Queen of Swords)

aquarius star sign horoscope
Cosmopolitan UK - Hearst Owned

You are treading a line this September between getting your own space and solo time to be yourself, do wacky Aquarian sh**, and also play in a team, contribute, feel supported, and a part of something. It’s not all or nothing; both approaches are valid and need equal airtime.

The Nine of Wands shows this won’t be hard. Just commit to it and plan for it, and share your time between your ‘tribe’ and yourself, don’t filch anyone!

The Six of Coins asks you to commit wholly and fully to others and be as helpful, kind, supportive, and generous as you can be when you’re around them. Make that time count for the maximum value. Leave a great impression.

The Queen of Swords grants you permission to strike out and serve yourself too, even if they disapprove. You need freedom, you’re a one-off. Please the crowd and then please yourself.

PISCES

(Seven of Cups, Ten of Wands, Two of Wands)

pisces star sign horoscope

You’re just starting out on a new adventure, project, role, relationship, or activity. The Two of Wands shows it’s all very exciting and the potential feels high. You are enthused and optimistic. The Seven of Cups brings real imaginative flair and creativity to this new venture, you’re bringing your full self to the table and letting them see how magical you are. This is a chance to create your own story, your own niche, and you’re keen to take the initiative.

The Ten of Wands asks you to temper yourself in terms of pace and expectation. It’s not to say this won’t go brilliantly, it’s just to say there WILL be inevitable teething problems and distractions. Don’t beat yourself up for not getting to the pinnacle this September, you have plenty of time and there’s no pressure. Leave lots of wriggle room and take it easy. No rush, tread steadily and steadfastly, this will develop at its own pace.
