September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You benefit from changes in your routine in September, dear Capricorn, and it’s a great time to do things just a little differently for refreshment and a new perspective on your life. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can also be successful. There can be progress, improvement, or excitement in an intimate relationship or with a passion project. A buzz of excitement in your professional life continues, and a bit of competition can motivate you to give a little more to what you’re doing. The result is the upping of your game, and it feels good.
You can enjoy a bit of adventure, share ideas, learn something exciting, or connect with people who inspire and excite you. Non-routine activities or mental journeys can figure strongly — and they can be quite refreshing.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it stirs up feelings from deep within and makes current conditions feel larger than life. Discoveries related to ideas, learning, communications, transportation, and relatives can motivate you to make changes and improvements, particularly if you’ve been living with sub-par conditions or problems in these areas for a while. The need to buckle down and deal with errands, appointments, or deadlines is a strong possibility for, especially since your mind has been somewhere else altogether recently!
This eclipse may bring a learning or transportation matter to a head, and a turning point in your life. New avenues for communicating and commuting can ultimately lead to solid improvements, but for now, it can be a bit chaotic as you adapt to the changes. Try not to be too hasty, both in your movements and with communications, but listen to your heart.
With a Jupiter-Node transit, it’s also a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love or developing a friendship through the power of words is not out of the question at this time It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose, mainly through your relationships and personal interests. Improved communications and more effort put into self-expression might benefit your relationships.
If you’re teaching, guiding, or otherwise influencing and inspiring others, your enthusiastic presentation invites people to follow your lead, making it a particularly excellent time for promotional or networking activities and otherwise spreading the word.
You more readily accept and enjoy your deeper feelings with Venus in your intimacy sector until the 19th. It’s a good time for intimacy and self-understanding. A creative approach to relationships and business can work wonders now. This is a time for naturally drawing success and resources to you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st brings desires to expand and grow to a turning point and helps clear the path for new beginnings. In the coming weeks and even months, energy levels smooth out, and you find a fabulous balance between responsibilities and pleasure. Becoming fired up about an idea, belief, topic, or course of study motivates you to pursue a new path. Your hunger may be for more knowledge, experience, or variety, but whatever it is, you instinctively know that you have to stir things up or make changes so that you can find your way. Shared activities can be entertaining and productive.
The 22nd marks a significant shift in energy as the Sun begins its transit of your career and reputation sector, following the move of Mercury into this area of your solar chart on the 18th. But on the 22nd, Mars moves into a sector with very different energy–your social sector–and you’re also gearing up to put a dream into action, or your excitement about new ventures begins to build. As such, you have a lot going on in the final quarter of the month. It’s a time to move out of your comfort zone, even in small ways, and create new experiences for yourself. You’re making your own happiness rather than waiting for it to come to you. It feels easier to accomplish things now. Your feelings about (and relationships with) friends can also be more intense.
September features a lot of mixed energies, which can mean you’re covering a lot of bases and can feel scattered or torn, but there’s also a potential for balancing your life and activities. You’ll be paying particular attention to your need for life experiences and spirited activities, as well as your career, responsibilities, and relationships. You can gain something valuable in all of these areas.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
September 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore.
It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From September 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 17th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar third house. Surprises surrounding your siblings, neighbors, or classmates are in store. Something that has been in hiding or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of communications is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination of a writing project, an event involving a sibling that grabs your complete attention, a sudden opportunity for an adventure or trip, a flurry of activity in your immediate environment or neighborhood that demands attention, a letter or other communication that holds a big surprise, and other such possibilities.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on September 21st:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it’s better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It’s a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to how you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New or updated travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be forming in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential.
This is a phase when you can be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an experience that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 19th:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others’ motives for doing and saying what they do. It’s a good time to feel supported by others, whether it’s financially or emotionally. It’s also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From the 19th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn’t consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life–who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 2nd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From the 2nd to the 18th:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
From the 18th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 21st:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.
From the 22nd forward:
Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others’ toes.
As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
September 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 2nd:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From September 3rd to 27th:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
From September 27th onward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don’t seem to satisfy.

September 2025 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From September 12th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months.

Essentially, it’s better to take in right now–to observe and get in touch with feelings.
The Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar second house. Surprises surrounding your personal finances and possessions are in store. Something that has been “in hiding” or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sector of personal finances is involved. This could manifest, for example, as the culmination or fruition of a financial project, an event involving personal possessions that holds your attention, a sudden money-making opportunity, a flurry of activity resulting from a financial matter, and other such possibilities.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on September 21st:
Because new information that could change our perspective can reveal itself after an eclipse, it’s better to avoid major decision-making the week before and after this event. It’s a time to observe and wait and see.
The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar ninth house, suggesting that a new approach to how you expand your horizons, be they physical or mental (or both). New or updated travel plans, education goals, or adventures may be forming in the coming months, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding your ability to expand your personal world is a strong potential.
This is a phase when you can be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an experience that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 11th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From September 11th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until September 12th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From September 12th to the 29th:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
From September 30th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until September 6th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From September 6th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it’s professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You benefit from changes in your routine in September, dear Capricorn, and it’s a great time to do things just a little differently for refreshment and a new perspective on your life. Investigation or seeking out hidden answers or resources can also be successful. There can be progress, improvement, or excitement in an intimate relationship or with a passion project. A buzz of excitement in your professional life continues, and a bit of competition can motivate you to give a little more to what you’re doing. The result is the upping of your game, and it feels good.
You can enjoy a bit of adventure, share ideas, learn something exciting, or connect with people who inspire and excite you. Non-routine activities or mental journeys can figure strongly — and they can be quite refreshing.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it stirs up feelings from deep within and makes current conditions feel larger than life. Discoveries related to ideas, learning, communications, transportation, and relatives can motivate you to make changes and improvements, particularly if you’ve been living with sub-par conditions or problems in these areas for a while. The need to buckle down and deal with errands, appointments, or deadlines is a strong possibility for, especially since your mind has been somewhere else altogether recently!
This eclipse may bring a learning or transportation matter to a head, and a turning point in your life. New avenues for communicating and commuting can ultimately lead to solid improvements, but for now, it can be a bit chaotic as you adapt to the changes. Try not to be too hasty, both in your movements and with communications, but listen to your heart.
With a Jupiter-Node transit, it’s also a good time to expand your mind and connect with others through the mind. Falling in love or developing a friendship through the power of words is not out of the question at this time It can be a time of increased personal meaning and purpose, mainly through your relationships and personal interests. Improved communications and more effort put into self-expression might benefit your relationships.
If you’re teaching, guiding, or otherwise influencing and inspiring others, your enthusiastic presentation invites people to follow your lead, making it a particularly excellent time for promotional or networking activities and otherwise spreading the word.
You more readily accept and enjoy your deeper feelings with Venus in your intimacy sector until the 19th. It’s a good time for intimacy and self-understanding. A creative approach to relationships and business can work wonders now. This is a time for naturally drawing success and resources to you.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st brings desires to expand and grow to a turning point and helps clear the path for new beginnings. In the coming weeks and even months, energy levels smooth out, and you find a fabulous balance between responsibilities and pleasure. Becoming fired up about an idea, belief, topic, or course of study motivates you to pursue a new path. Your hunger may be for more knowledge, experience, or variety, but whatever it is, you instinctively know that you have to stir things up or make changes so that you can find your way. Shared activities can be entertaining and productive.
The 22nd marks a significant shift in energy as the Sun begins its transit of your career and reputation sector, following the move of Mercury into this area of your solar chart on the 18th. But on the 22nd, Mars moves into a sector with very different energy–your social sector–and you’re also gearing up to put a dream into action, or your excitement about new ventures begins to build. As such, you have a lot going on in the final quarter of the month. It’s a time to move out of your comfort zone, even in small ways, and create new experiences for yourself. You’re making your own happiness rather than waiting for it to come to you. It feels easier to accomplish things now. Your feelings about (and relationships with) friends can also be more intense.
September features a lot of mixed energies, which can mean you’re covering a lot of bases and can feel scattered or torn, but there’s also a potential for balancing your life and activities. You’ll be paying particular attention to your need for life experiences and spirited activities, as well as your career, responsibilities, and relationships. You can gain something valuable in all of these areas.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decan regardless of your birthdate.
