September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
September can be a comfortably busy and uplifting month for you, dear Leo. Significant themes in your life are business, money, security, learning, and connecting. It’s a time for taking charge of your finances and generating new ideas, budgets, or plans to better manage your resources, money, and talents. Personal fulfillment is a big focus. You’re also learning new things and enhancing your communication skills. Mars continues to keep your interest in projects and learning or sharing high until the 22nd, when the Sun picks up the baton. Mars then heads into your home and family sector, keeping you busy on the home front.
Comfort and security are strong motivators, and the practical side of life holds your attention more than usual. Enjoying simple pleasures and comforts can be highly appealing!
Personal appeal is super as Venus continues to transit your sign until the 19th, and you can be charmingly forthright, sincere, and straightforward with your requests and communications. People are falling in love with your unique style, and you manage to be both assertive and charming, especially around the Venus-Mars transit mid-month. Knowing and attracting what you want comes naturally. People seek your company. Communications are more effective than usual, and your ability to focus is excellent. This is a time for enjoying your passions without apology.
With a Jupiter-Node transit, it’s a good time to gain a supporter, backing, or counseling/advice. There may be a confidant who helps you release some of your frustrations. Perhaps most importantly, you’re striving toward personal growth on an emotional level, and you can feel motivated to reach out for support or to support someone special, whether with information or your time.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it can pull out strong feelings from you as it stirs a revelation or epiphany. This can be about the need for someone or support, whether emotional, moral, or financial. The balance of power in a relationship, debts, a partner’s income, or other shared resources can be in strong focus and subject to stronger emotions. It might instead be about attachments, as you can see the light about releasing yourself from a burden. It’s a powerful time for allowing strong feelings to drive improvements and new missions, but take your time to digest everything before pushing ahead.
Great energy is with you for new sources of (or increased) income from your own efforts, not only this month but until early 2027. This eclipse could serve as a financial wake-up call, or could involve a payout or issue of debt, a significant gift, or a bonus. Instead, it may be about awakening to previously hidden desires or a stronger desire for intimacy. You could reach a turning point in a partnership, and a decision about merging your resources can be a pressing matter.
You gain a clearer and more objective understanding of financial or respect issues by mid-month. Something dawns on you, or there is important news coming in now that helps you make decisions about money, income, and relationships. Still, because you’re in between eclipses, it makes sense to hold on before making big decisions. Aim to take in and take notes!
The New Moon on the 21st is a Solar Eclipse, and it cleans the slate for a new beginning related to money and personal possessions. A fresh approach to how you spend, save, and accumulate is in order and can be revitalizing. While the month can be intense at times, you’re moving towards a more patient and moderate approach to life that truly works for you!
While Mars exits your communications sector on the 22nd, the Sun heads in, and Mercury moved in on the 18th. Learning, paperwork, errands, and other “busy work” are in the spotlight. You’re invested in your learning pursuits, communications projects, and the connections you’re making with others. You’re looking to feed your curiosity, connect with others, get out and about, and perhaps become more active in your neighborhood, with acquaintances, or running errands. In September, you have a growing interest in broadening your mental experiences and finding expression of your personality through them.
Mars energizes your home sector from the 22nd, stirring special attention to your personal life. Renovations, redecorating, or improvements that enhance freedom or comfort in the home can have long-lasting benefits. There can be some tension or pressure in these areas, but also dynamism and solutions to problems. Certainly, challenges can arise if excess energy turns into restlessness and conflict. However, it’s also a great time to make things happen in your personal life.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
September 2025 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
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 22nd 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. 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.
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 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.
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 second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income is now vital.
A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding how you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and it’s a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments for pleasure through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 19th:
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 the 19th 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 the 2nd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From the 2nd to the 18th:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
From the 18th forward:
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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 21st:
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 the 22nd 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.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
September 2025 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don’t have come into focus–what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
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.

It is also a wonderful time for taking moments for pleasure through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 2nd:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From September 3rd to 27th:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It’s a time when you turn heads, and it’s also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
From September 27th onward:
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.

You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.

Until September 7th:

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From September 7th to the 23rd:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
From September 24th forward:
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.

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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
This month:
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.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
September 2025 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it’s a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don’t take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From September 12th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don’t have come into focus–what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
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 seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships 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, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner’s needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership “tests” are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
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 second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income is now vital.
A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration regarding how you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure.
This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and it’s a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments for pleasure through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 11th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it’s possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn’t be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From September 11th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It’s a time when you turn heads, and it’s also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until September 12th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
From September 12th to the 29th:
With Mercury in your solar second house, this is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances during this period. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas.
Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
From September 30th forward:
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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until September 6th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From September 6th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it’s likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it’s wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
September can be a comfortably busy and uplifting month for you, dear Leo. Significant themes in your life are business, money, security, learning, and connecting. It’s a time for taking charge of your finances and generating new ideas, budgets, or plans to better manage your resources, money, and talents. Personal fulfillment is a big focus. You’re also learning new things and enhancing your communication skills. Mars continues to keep your interest in projects and learning or sharing high until the 22nd, when the Sun picks up the baton. Mars then heads into your home and family sector, keeping you busy on the home front.
Comfort and security are strong motivators, and the practical side of life holds your attention more than usual. Enjoying simple pleasures and comforts can be highly appealing!
Personal appeal is super as Venus continues to transit your sign until the 19th, and you can be charmingly forthright, sincere, and straightforward with your requests and communications. People are falling in love with your unique style, and you manage to be both assertive and charming, especially around the Venus-Mars transit mid-month. Knowing and attracting what you want comes naturally. People seek your company. Communications are more effective than usual, and your ability to focus is excellent. This is a time for enjoying your passions without apology.
With a Jupiter-Node transit, it’s a good time to gain a supporter, backing, or counseling/advice. There may be a confidant who helps you release some of your frustrations. Perhaps most importantly, you’re striving toward personal growth on an emotional level, and you can feel motivated to reach out for support or to support someone special, whether with information or your time.
The Full Moon on the 7th is a Lunar Eclipse, and it can pull out strong feelings from you as it stirs a revelation or epiphany. This can be about the need for someone or support, whether emotional, moral, or financial. The balance of power in a relationship, debts, a partner’s income, or other shared resources can be in strong focus and subject to stronger emotions. It might instead be about attachments, as you can see the light about releasing yourself from a burden. It’s a powerful time for allowing strong feelings to drive improvements and new missions, but take your time to digest everything before pushing ahead.
Great energy is with you for new sources of (or increased) income from your own efforts, not only this month but until early 2027. This eclipse could serve as a financial wake-up call, or could involve a payout or issue of debt, a significant gift, or a bonus. Instead, it may be about awakening to previously hidden desires or a stronger desire for intimacy. You could reach a turning point in a partnership, and a decision about merging your resources can be a pressing matter.
You gain a clearer and more objective understanding of financial or respect issues by mid-month. Something dawns on you, or there is important news coming in now that helps you make decisions about money, income, and relationships. Still, because you’re in between eclipses, it makes sense to hold on before making big decisions. Aim to take in and take notes!
The New Moon on the 21st is a Solar Eclipse, and it cleans the slate for a new beginning related to money and personal possessions. A fresh approach to how you spend, save, and accumulate is in order and can be revitalizing. While the month can be intense at times, you’re moving towards a more patient and moderate approach to life that truly works for you!
While Mars exits your communications sector on the 22nd, the Sun heads in, and Mercury moved in on the 18th. Learning, paperwork, errands, and other “busy work” are in the spotlight. You’re invested in your learning pursuits, communications projects, and the connections you’re making with others. You’re looking to feed your curiosity, connect with others, get out and about, and perhaps become more active in your neighborhood, with acquaintances, or running errands. In September, you have a growing interest in broadening your mental experiences and finding expression of your personality through them.
Mars energizes your home sector from the 22nd, stirring special attention to your personal life. Renovations, redecorating, or improvements that enhance freedom or comfort in the home can have long-lasting benefits. There can be some tension or pressure in these areas, but also dynamism and solutions to problems. Certainly, challenges can arise if excess energy turns into restlessness and conflict. However, it’s also a great time to make things happen in your personal life.

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.
For easier reading, the horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. However, for those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
