Cancer
JUN 21 - JUL 22
Take Charge
September is an active month for you Cancer, starting off with Uranus going retrograde on September 1, in your 11th house of friends, hopes and wishes. Your network has been changing steadily, and sometimes swiftly over the past few years. This will be a period for you to assess if you want to remain part of a certain social circle. If this does not resonate, you may simply be redefining your wishes for the future.
The Virgo new moon on September 2 in your 3rd house of communication and learning is an opportunity to shift how you view, think about, and talk about pressing situations in your life, especially related to siblings, neighbors, or distant relatives. You’re ruled by the moon and can experience deep emotions day-to-day, but this is a time to look at situations from a practical lens, and come up with helpful solutions.
Mars enters your sign on September 4, giving you extra energy and drive. Mars in Cancer is considered to be in its “fall,” meaning it can’t operate as it normally wants to, assertively, directly, and at times with no mercy. But this can be a good thing for your naturally nurturing spirit. Mars in your 1st house can give you an extra boost of energy, but you’ll need to guard against acting compulsively if something irritates you. Mars is the ruler of your 10th house of status and 5th house of love and romance, so you have the ability to reinvigorate these areas of your life.
Mercury joins the sun in your communication sector on September 8, bringing with it clarity, awareness, and a practicality that can be a fierce combo with Mars in your sign. You can take this time to learn something new, communicate important information, journal, and tackle projects that require mental and physical dexterity. This could also be a good time to take a short trip before the summer season is officially over.
The Pisces full moon lunar eclipse on September 17 kicks off an upcoming cycle for everyone that involves auditing each area of your life and repairing the things that need work so that we can move towards our dreams, creativity, and an inner sense of peace and healing. With this eclipse in your sister water sign, you’ll feel this energy deeply on a spiritual level.
When the sun opposes dreamy Neptune in your 9th house of philosophy, you’ll need to balance rational thinking with faith. You’re naturally intuitive, but with the sun currently in a sign that is linked to practicality, you may be tasked with making a decision without having all of the facts.
Love planet Venus moves into your 5th house of relationships on September 22, the same day that Libra season begins. This is a very passionate and sensual time for you to connect with things that bring you pleasure. This does not only have to be romantic, it’s time to focus on things that you are magnetically drawn to.
