Capricorn Horoscope for September 2024

This is another month of change and of new awareness, Capricorn, partly arrived at from looking within. The previous weeks of the Mercury Retrograde in significant sectors of your chart speak to you of intimacy and evolving worldview, while you are searching inside of yourself for the answers you might have thought to derive from elsewhere. Trickster Uranus visiting your creativity sector – and infusing your habitual patterns with a bit of a wild hare – has been playing with you; if you can take it, you can learn important lessons. The Virgo New Moon of Monday, September 2nd, takes place in your sector of higher mind, along with educational opportunities, perhaps of a non-institutional kind, together with travel initiatives to foreign shores that might actually reside within your psyche. You are reaping the harvest of your recent earnest introspection. Surprising revelations continue into this September cycle, coming to a head with the fulfillment of the September 17th Full Moon eclipse, which adds novel coloring to your thoughts and encourages making these more entirely your own. The September Equinox of the 22nd adds fuel to this fire and allows you to take what has been gained to the level of your vocational alignments arising from your individual authenticity.

As the month begins, you are in the wake of the recent retrograde of Mercury through your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, which could have given you much to think about, while you were reviewing, and potentially revising, your close connections with others and, ultimately, with yourself. Mercury is still recovering for the first ten days of the current month so that you are slowly coming into a new phase regarding this area of life.

Pluto retrogrades back into your sign on September 1st to remind you of how far you may have gotten and how much more centered you might have become since the Lord of Death and Rebirth first entered your sign in 2008. This brief sojourn completes in mid-November. You are now dealing more with transformation on the issues of your resources, values, and your finances. The question may be about how will you expand on what you have learned over the past 16 years and create space for new dynamics to come into your life. You don’t have to come up with an answer immediately but you may be realizing that doing something just because it has become a reflex is not always productive and that some of your habitual patterns may be keeping you from trying other things that could be more fulfilling. September could bring opportunities to redefine what productivity and labor means for you and the amount of energy you are willing to invest in things that are not really important while assessing what you are actually passionate about.

The Virgo New Moon arrives on September 2nd in your sector of higher mind and brings an impetus towards learning and expansion. This is an important juncture and might give you renewed commitment to truly understanding yourself and your evolving worldview. What you love to do could be a significant way to bring new opportunities into your life. You may have to come to terms with the idea that work does not have to be difficult or unpleasant for it to be valid.

Mars enters the emotional waters of Cancer on the 4th where it will emphasize your relational dynamics and call for greater objectivity and diplomacy in your interactions with lovers, family, friends, colleagues and siblings. Being mindful of your interactions with others could help you see greater possibilities in all of these types of partnership.

On the 7th and 8th, the Sun opposed to Saturn, your ruler, located in your sector of communication and learning may further stimulate your interest in the foundations of your beliefs and worldview along with your conscious awareness of all that is going on within you at this time.

On the 17th, the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Pisces arrives to bring a focus on communication and exchanges with others whether this is for work or play, in-person or through social media. The two weeks that follow could be busy and your career intentions could take on new shading. Innovations continue in your habitual patterns and it might be hard to know what to prioritize especially if you are feeling distracted. Being more deliberate about your attention could help especially if you have a lot you want to accomplish.

The Sun enters Libra on the 22nd for the September Equinox, and shines a light on your vocational and social sphere. These areas could become more closely blended in concert with the entrance of Venus into Scorpio the same day. Also emphasized are your hopes and your aspirations for the future along with the relationships that can help you progress towards your goals.

On the 29th and 30th, Mars in your opposite sign of Cancer trines Saturn, your ruler, in Pisces. Being overly diplomatic can sometimes be a double-edged sword when looking for authentic connection; you may be challenged to find the middle ground between honesty and tactfulness as September comes to a close.
