Libra Horoscope for September 2024

This is another month, Libra, when you will be in the process of taking a deep dive to the inside of your mind. The recent retrograde of Mercury beginning in your Virgo sector of unconscious process and inner work set the stage for this month’s more deliberate efforts there, with the Virgo New Moon of the 2nd being one peak of that energy. This inner emphasis can be contrasted with the fact that your ruler, Venus, already in your own sign from just before the beginning of September, is bringing you into strong egoic awareness and confident presence. From this standpoint your internal explorations might proceed more thoroughly, cashing in as well on the powerfully intuitive understanding provided by highlighted Uranus and referencing subtle areas of thought and emotion. The Full Moon eclipse in Pisces of the 17th signals the recognition of habit patterns that are past their shelf life for you as well as health regimens and workplace behaviors that might need further adjustment. Then, the Fall Equinox (for the Northern Hemisphere that is) takes place on September 22nd, boosting your gumption. You emerge from this September cycle definitely further along in your evolutionary development and with a better understanding of your values and true authenticity.

The month of September follows the month-long introspective retrograde of Mercury through first your sector of unconscious process and then your sector of friendships, group affiliations, and future goals, so that, as Mercury recovers over these first ten days of the current month, you may be assessing the new perspectives gained. September also begins on a liminal note with Pluto retrograding back to Capricorn on the 1st or your domestic sector, indicating further transformation there, along with the ongoing changes happening with regard to your creativity.

The New Moon in Virgo on the 2nd, your sector of unconscious process and inner work, signals a period of reflection triggered by the important threshold on which you stand between familiarity and the unknown. Because there is a renewed focus on what is going on deep inside you, this might continue to be an internally oriented period when you seek better connection with hidden areas of your psyche. You may want to write down your night-time dreams as clues to your ongoing process of integration. Saturn in Pisces remains squared by Jupiter in Gemini, which speaks of the thoughtful period of time that you find yourself in. Mars is also square to Neptune in this New Moon, with Neptune balanced on the cusp of your solar seventh house of relationship, so that there is an idealized vision of what partners may bring to your life, together with a degree of confusion surrounding their impact.

Mars in Cancer from the 4th and onward could activate your vocational aspirations for the next several months and bring important partners more directly into your life as far as influencing your career. You could find the motivation needed to get where you want to go regardless of any current setbacks.

Mercury enters Virgo on the 9th and you may have to reconsider the amount of time it will take to get something done or re-assess things from a different angle. You could benefit from relying more on intuitional sources within you.

The Sun in Virgo squares Jupiter in Gemini on the 11th and the 12th and this might spark your enthusiasm for inner dialogs. You may want to keep in mind that slowly but surely is often better than quickly and half-hazardly, especially if you are trying to accomplish something that will have long-lasting results.

Two days later on, from the 14th to the 15th, Venus in your sign in trine with Jupiter continues the enthusiasm. Optimism is good of course and joy is contagious, although a good dose of caution is also recommended.

On September 17th, the partial lunar eclipse and Full Moon in Pisces provides a contrast between your normative day-to-day schedules and a more mystical factor that also illuminates this month’s cycle. Or it could emphasize the logistical aspects of a project and the work that is left to do before things can run more smoothly. Organizational matters may take center stage and things could feel a little bit like a puzzle that needs solving. You might have to rely on your intuition to guide you through at this time and this could turn out to be a good learning experience.

The Sun in your sign from September 22nd onward, the date of the September Equinox, makes for an optimistic time. This is good news and should help get a better handle on your overall well-being and your clarity of purpose. Venus, your ruler, opposes Pluto and enters Scorpio on the same day emphasizing the resources you have to work with, including your financial ones, so that you could feel a shift there. Venus will be in Scorpio until mid-October.

Mercury in Virgo makes aspects to the three outer planets during the last week of September before it enters Libra on the 26th. which may help you connect disparate elements in your life and bring greater coherence within and without.

The month of September ends with Mercury forming a conjunction with the Sun in Libra on the 30th which is known for bringing sparks of insights and clarifications. Give yourself permission to not have all the answers this month so that you can create space for new ways of doing things to emerge.
