Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
September should be engaging, dear Cancer, with the right balance of busy-quiet moments to keep you feeling comfortably challenged. There’s a focus on connecting with others and with the information you need. Significant new projects or the birth of better communications or transportation systems in your life can figure strongly with the effects of the month’s eclipses.
Around the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 7th, you reach a turning point or a revelation about communication, learning, education, travel, attitude, outlook, or publishing matters, setting you on a new path. This lunation awakens your need for spirit-refreshing experiences. While this is generally a time for sticking close to home or in familiar settings, you could have a sudden desire or need to depart from your usual routine.
Around the time of this eclipse, you may feel a little overwhelmed if your schedule is packed and you have too little time to satisfy your desire to escape and explore. Even so, with a plan to find a better balance, your confidence builds, and little can stop you from finding inspiration and enjoying new interests and projects. This can also be a time for an unveiling or culmination of a project or learning endeavor.
You have a stronger desire to make something beautiful in your home or with your business this month, and a creative business idea may come together beautifully. Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration, and prized possessions can be in high focus. You are confident about what you want, and you magnetize the right people and things to you. Home life can be animated at times this month (until the 22nd), but the purpose of this is to stir up change rather than to cling to stale or dysfunctional ways of living that are doing nothing for you.
You’re also well-equipped for guiding and learning, and an expanded worldview, studies, or mind-expanding experiences can be a significant boost to your personal growth. Friendships might emerge as you discuss politics, beliefs, or interesting topics. You can make some valuable connections. You can have a stronger-than-usual urge to be included, yet you’re not going overboard on this level, and it feels healthy. You have more faith in your abilities to build bridges.
Certainly, your desire for variety increases, and you seek out more mental stimulation and contact. It’s a time for reaching out to others and enjoying the connections you’re making. You can be excited about a new or renewed personal interest. In fact, this is a powerful time for new beginnings along the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting. There can be many errands and daily comings and goings to deal with now. Communication or transportation breakdowns may prompt new beginnings, and while frustrating, they can open up new worlds as you approach the world differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
Your mind is curious, excited, and hungry, and opportunities to feed it are likely to pop up when you need them most. Improved connections are in store as transportation and communication channels open up for you, although this can result due to a challenge. It’s time to diversify! The New Moon on the 21st is a Solar Eclipse, and it can bring a new development or fresh start related to your general outlook, communications, studies, personal interests, and connections. It could prompt a decision to begin a new course or end a particular pursuit or project to clear the path for a new one, but it’s best to take your time on this.
Mercury heads into your solar fourth house on the 18th and the Sun on the 22nd, and you’re bringing further attention to your relations with family and living conditions. You’re settling in and getting comfortable with yourself. Still, on the day the Sun turns your larger focus to domestic matters, the 22nd, Mars heads into your creative sector. This new Mars transit is helpful and confidence-boosting. It’s a time of enterprising activities, including creative learning, romantic expression, and entertainment. Rewards come from activities that engage your heart.
You can benefit from creating lists of your priorities around the home and spending more time with family or engaging in local activities now. It’s a powerful time to explore hobbies and recreation.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
September 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From September 22nd forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 7th:
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 ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind may be 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. This could manifest, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you’ve been working on, 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 third house, signaling the need for a fresh approach to communications projects, learning, or self-expression.
A new position in the neighborhood, relocation, or increased interaction with others may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding how you handle your daily activities.
During this phase, you have an increased awareness of your environment and experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with new energy, but in the week following this eclipse, take your time easing into new beginnings.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 19th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From the 19th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 2nd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From the 2nd to the 18th:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
From the 18th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 21st:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone’s goat.
From the 22nd forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
September 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 2nd:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It’s a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You’re more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From September 3rd to 27th:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right “at home” here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
From September 27th onward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
September 2025 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most “financial” period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when “comfort zones” are more important to you than usual–you value the familiar.
From September 12th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting “busy-ness” and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it’s a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now.

The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be 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. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse’s status (or ex-spouse’s status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.

During this phase, you have an increased awareness of your environment and experience increased alertness. It’s a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with new energy, but in the week following this eclipse, take your time easing into new beginnings.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 11th:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It’s a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You’re more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From September 11th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right “at home” here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until September 12th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From September 12th to the 29th:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
From September 30th forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until September 6th:
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar third house now. You may be especially busy running errands and tending to daily activities during this cycle. It’s a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don’t come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From September 6th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities. Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related–you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
September should be engaging, dear Cancer, with the right balance of busy-quiet moments to keep you feeling comfortably challenged. There’s a focus on connecting with others and with the information you need. Significant new projects or the birth of better communications or transportation systems in your life can figure strongly with the effects of the month’s eclipses.
Around the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 7th, you reach a turning point or a revelation about communication, learning, education, travel, attitude, outlook, or publishing matters, setting you on a new path. This lunation awakens your need for spirit-refreshing experiences. While this is generally a time for sticking close to home or in familiar settings, you could have a sudden desire or need to depart from your usual routine.
Around the time of this eclipse, you may feel a little overwhelmed if your schedule is packed and you have too little time to satisfy your desire to escape and explore. Even so, with a plan to find a better balance, your confidence builds, and little can stop you from finding inspiration and enjoying new interests and projects. This can also be a time for an unveiling or culmination of a project or learning endeavor.
You have a stronger desire to make something beautiful in your home or with your business this month, and a creative business idea may come together beautifully. Personal comfort, artistry, aesthetics, decoration, and prized possessions can be in high focus. You are confident about what you want, and you magnetize the right people and things to you. Home life can be animated at times this month (until the 22nd), but the purpose of this is to stir up change rather than to cling to stale or dysfunctional ways of living that are doing nothing for you.
You’re also well-equipped for guiding and learning, and an expanded worldview, studies, or mind-expanding experiences can be a significant boost to your personal growth. Friendships might emerge as you discuss politics, beliefs, or interesting topics. You can make some valuable connections. You can have a stronger-than-usual urge to be included, yet you’re not going overboard on this level, and it feels healthy. You have more faith in your abilities to build bridges.
Certainly, your desire for variety increases, and you seek out more mental stimulation and contact. It’s a time for reaching out to others and enjoying the connections you’re making. You can be excited about a new or renewed personal interest. In fact, this is a powerful time for new beginnings along the lines of communicating, learning, and commuting. There can be many errands and daily comings and goings to deal with now. Communication or transportation breakdowns may prompt new beginnings, and while frustrating, they can open up new worlds as you approach the world differently and discover new channels for expressing yourself and connecting with others.
Your mind is curious, excited, and hungry, and opportunities to feed it are likely to pop up when you need them most. Improved connections are in store as transportation and communication channels open up for you, although this can result due to a challenge. It’s time to diversify! The New Moon on the 21st is a Solar Eclipse, and it can bring a new development or fresh start related to your general outlook, communications, studies, personal interests, and connections. It could prompt a decision to begin a new course or end a particular pursuit or project to clear the path for a new one, but it’s best to take your time on this.
Mercury heads into your solar fourth house on the 18th and the Sun on the 22nd, and you’re bringing further attention to your relations with family and living conditions. You’re settling in and getting comfortable with yourself. Still, on the day the Sun turns your larger focus to domestic matters, the 22nd, Mars heads into your creative sector. This new Mars transit is helpful and confidence-boosting. It’s a time of enterprising activities, including creative learning, romantic expression, and entertainment. Rewards come from activities that engage your heart.
You can benefit from creating lists of your priorities around the home and spending more time with family or engaging in local activities now. It’s a powerful time to explore hobbies and recreation.

About These 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. Transits don’t abruptly change as 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 Lunar Cycles 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, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
