September 2022 Horoscopes: Libra season brings the love and Mercury RX brings the spice
Hello dear ones,
We’re halfway through the maiden healer, Virgo’s season and you’re likely to be feeling the transition rather acutely.
After all, despite the fact that we live in a human dominated society that often considers itself separate from nature- we are really a part of nature, animals that can instinctually attune and adapt to nature and the shifting seasons. During this shift, the animals of our bodies continue to experience a restless instinct to gather, to prepare, and to make the most of the remaining summer sun.
September starts off with us fully in Mercury retrograde’s shadow phase before it goes fully retrograde in Libra, the sign of partnership and romance on the 9th causing misunderstandings, reflections, and overthinking to abound.
Meanwhile, Venus exits expressive Leo and transitions into perfectionist Virgo on the 4th. This transit marks the beginning of cuffing season, as summer flings either turn serious, or fade into fall shadows. It also means that we’ll be more prone to analyzing and critiquing ourselves and others in regards to our habits and behaviors in relationships. My advice? Maintain your boundaries. But don’t be so inflexible that you become rigid in your thinking. Try to remember that no one is perfect, all anyone can really do is strive to be their best self.
On Saturday the 10th, the full moon in Pisces causes you to reconnect with your idealism in ways that may or may not be healthy and signaling either a need to complete additional shadow work or move forward with actions that support your goals.
Libra season begins on the 22nd, marking the first day of fall, followed by the new moon in Libra on the 25th, which is a great time to set new goals or take up new hobbies.. Relationship, romance and justice oriented Libra ruling the skies means you’ll be looking to balance the scales.
On the 29th Venus moves into her home sign of Libra, bringing harmony to our relationships and helping us to make space in our lives for the things that bring us joy, while also making us a bit indecisive about where exactly we should be making that space.
Also in retrograde this month:
Jupiter is retrograde. Take calculated risks.
Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius until late October causing culture conflicts and making you rethink, rework, and revise our long term commitments and goals. Saturn is the planet of ego, karma, justice and career. Those who are seeking to balance the world’s karmic scales and socially progressive ideals like gender equality, LGBTQ+ acceptance, healthcare reform, and education reform will continue to be challenged by old guard ideals of religious zealously, infatuation with tradition and political fanaticism during this transit.
Pluto is still retrograde in Capricorn until October 28th, activating our karma around money, ambition, power, boundaries, limits, and abuse of power on a global scale and leading to the new generations' societal disillusionment.
Neptune is retrograde in Pisces. Neptune will have humanity reflecting on our hopes, dreams, ideals, and aspirations on a global level until December 3rd. Fortunately, unlike some planets (cough, I’m looking at you Mercury, cough) in retrograde Neptune has a certain subtlety to it, especially while in its home sign of Pisces. It is a time when the state of your inner world is revealed to you. This will be a deeply introspective time that lends itself to globally shifting spiritual ideologies, deepening intuition, dream manifestation, dissolving, and immersion in our thoughts and feelings.
Neptune RX advice:
Do: Connect with your spirit and embrace the positive energies that surround you.
Don’t: Disassociate until you don’t know what’s real. Run away. Fall into nostalgia traps.
Astrology is a Tool for Self Reflection
Astrology is a tool we can use to take the temperature of the world and reflect on how we might respond to what’s happening both internally and externally in the world. It helps us pay attention to our physical and emotional states and opens us up to new ways of navigating our thoughts and actions.
Everything written here is meant to be used as a tool of reflection and self-awareness and not as a hard prediction of the future. The stars and planets do a lot of talking, but ultimately we each must decide our own path in life.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Dear Aries,
While spontaneity might be your usual method of finding fun, this month it might be better to hold back a bit and make actual plans.
As Libra season begins your romance sectors are lighting up and you may have a chance to find that someone to share the upcoming sweater weather with.
But for some of ya’ll out there, the best thing you can do right now is stay single. Especially considering Mercury is retrograde this month. So, lean into that romantic energy by treating yourself.
Take yourself out on a date if you dare. You just might have the best time of your life.
Your Tarot Card: Nine of Pentacles
Dear Aries, this moonth is an invitation to focus on how you earn income. Does your work please you? Delight you? Are you learning skills that feel enriching for you? If not… it is time for a change. Ask for that raise, that educational opportunity or begin looking elsewhere for the next juicy work opportunity! You are meant to shine at work.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Dear Taurus,
You’ve got a lot going on my dear but you’ve also got a lot going for you.
Things look good for your career this month. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed with passion projects, work, and the long list of things you want to accomplish this month. Brain dump it all onto paper, prioritize the list, and start working your way through it.
If you’re open to love you may see sparks fly later this month but beware mercury retrograde might impact your new romance.
And if you’re in your single and selfish phase… which is likely considering you’ve been going through big identity shifts this year. The best thing you can do with that Libra season energy at the end of the month is to invest in yourself. I’m talking about booking that flight to Cancun, making love to yourself in the mirror, buying yourself dinner, and finally setting up a retirement account.
Your Tarot Card: Knight of Cups
Taurus, this moonth is an adventure into the depth of your emotions. How do you feel about your life in this moment? Do you feel satisfied by your environment and by your relationships? If the answer to either of these questions is no, it is time for a shift during this time of Equinox. Let your heart be your guide!

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Dear Gemini,
Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde this month so you’ll be feeling the backwards rotation of communication, travel, and memory more than some of the folks around you.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to make yourself the center of attention this month as your fame and public image sectors light up making you feel even more charismatic than usual. Even if you don’t hit your instagram or facebook engagement goals this month, trust that you’re laying the foundation to reach a wider audience.
You’ll be feeling flirty and social at the end of the month, thanks to Venus in your fellow air sign Libra, stay organized to fit it all in without stress.
Your Tarot Card: The Chariot
Gemini, this moonth is characterized by A major pattern disruption in the way you normally operate. And this is a really good thing! Allow yourself to change and evolve and learn to operate from a deeper sense of maturity. Everyone benefits when we learn to respond to stress rather than react to it. This is your time to learn how to regulate yourself in a more compassionate way.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Dear Cancer,
Venus in Virgo (a stressful aspect) and then Venus in Libra (a harmonious aspect) later in the month are helping you to communicate in your relationships although the Mercury retrograde and your defensive tendencies might get in the way of any wedding bells.
The full moon brings visions of your dream future. And the new moon inspires you to write them down and start manifesting your future. Don’t stress the small stuff, there is tranquility in seeing the big picture.
Your Tarot Card: The Tower
Cancer, this moonth has some big changes in store for you. Sometimes people get afraid when this card arises but I personally find this to be a card of liberation! When the Tower arrives, it means that our external environment is forcing us to change for the better. It is not something to resist or be afraid of. In fact it is an invitation from The Universe for us to step in to rebirth and allow ourselves to change appropriately. You will really like the person you become on the other side!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Dear Leo,
Your season has come to an end but you're still the star of your story. Keep going for what you want. Your friends may complain that they see you less this month, but don’t stress it too much, show up when you’re feeling present and let them know when you’ve got to take time for yourself to avoid any hurt feelings due to mercury retrograde related misunderstandings.
Libra season starts at the end of the month helping you to bring balance to your social, and romantic endeavors.
Your Tarot Card: Ace of Swords
Sweet Lions! This is a delicious moonth for you. Follow your heart and your feet and allow adventure to be what defines your choices at this time. This card is a blessing on the start of new projects and big moves including job changes or possibly change of residence. Go for it with gusto and enjoy the ride!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Happy Birthday Virgo!
Dear Virgo,
Even if you’re feeling low key for your birthday this year-try to do something that feels nourishing for yourself. You deserve it.
You are knee deep in your season now and you’re starting to notice the tide is shifting in your life. What was once a tidal wave headed straight at you is now just the tide on its way back out to sea. Venus moves into your sign early in the month making your perfectionist side come out.
But beware mercury retrograde causing you to get wrapped up in overthinking about how to heal the past.
When fall starts your romantic and relationship sectors fall into harmony and you’ll be ready to shake off past arguments and focus on building intimacy in the present tense with your friends, family, or a romantic partner.
Your Tarot Card: Six of Pentacles
This is your moonth Virgo! You are in your place of greatest strength and comfort right now. Allow yourself to take in the medicine of being grounded and share it with your people. The world needs more people who can be calm and centered so that we all can feel what that frequency feels like in the body. Share your medicine and let your communities taste how grounded you truly are!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
Happy Birthday Libra!
Dear Libra,
Your season starts this month prompting you to envision a new public image for yourself. Try out new lewks, new clothes, and new habits. It’s your birthday after all and you’ll want to look and feel beautiful.
During the second weekend of the month you want to lay low as mercury retrograde might lead to unnecessary arguments. (This is not a good time to text your ex.)
At the end of the month brings a tidal wave of romantic interest your way as the Sun, Venus, and the new moon all align in your sign. Be careful not to let your boundaries get swept away by all the attention!
Libra’s tend to be intimidated by deep talks and intimacy but regardless, potential partners will be spilling their hearts to you this month. Use this as an opportunity to practice reflection and vulnerability.
Your Tarot Card: Strength
Heady Libra, the Equinoxes are always a time of expansion and agitation for you. This card reminds you that strength comes from your ability to be in discomfort and find your center of balance within rather than depending on our external circumstances or other people to give us the density our area personalities desire. You already have everything you need within you! Even if things feel topsy-turvy you have the flexibility to make things right within.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Dear Scorpio,
You are unlearning unhealthy habits this month, thanks to the Uranus retrograde and Virgo the healer, taking center stage. Just beware that mercury retrograde may try to pull you back into old thought patterns and behaviors.
Career, love and intimacy look good for you this month, but you might have to wait to see the fruits of your labor.
Once Libra season starts on the 22nd you’ll be striking a new balance in your social life, alone time, and your romantic relationships.
Scorpio 2022 Overview
Your Tarot Card: Page of Cups
Scorpio- this moonth is defined by a need for some solitude and space to feel your feelings. If you desire some alone time, don’t be afraid to take it! Even though others may desire your company and there may be lots of invitations, this time before the Equinox is important for you to give some thought to what your next cycle will be like. You cannot have enough time in nature this moonth.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Dear Sagittarius,
In proper back to school style your schedule is full this month. But make time to see friends and family so that you are feeling seen and supported.
You’re feeling passionate about something this month and you’ve got the drive to push for it. But thanks to the Mercury retrograde it might take a while for others to notice your hard work. Practice patience and enjoy the journey.
At the end of the month there is an opportunity for luck and wish granting. Ask for that raise, ask that person out, or treat yourself to that thing you want.
Your Tarot Card: King of Cups
Sag! This moonth asks you to share your feelings with those around you and get really honest. You often tend to keep your feelings bottled up for fear of not belonging or not being well received. But this is a time or your truest thoughts will be well received. Take advantage and get some of those old resentments off your chest!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
Dear Capricorn,
Fall is a good season for you.
Although Mercury retrograde may throw a wrench into your carefully made plans. Still, you can’t hit the pause button on life for small stuff like that.
So, if your romance or career feels like it’s in full bloom, don’t let a few miscommunications get in the way of your dream romance. If you’re ready to take it to the next level then do it. All you have to do is be honest about how you feel and ask for what you want and wait to see what happens.
If you’re single, then it’s a great time to make a list of your green and red flags for a future relationship.
Your Tarot Card: Five of Wands
Capricorn, this moonth can feel messy for you and lead you to being stuck in your head. Just remember that after every mess comes greater order and organization once the process is complete the Equinox times are simply messy times of transition and things may not go as smoothly as you prefer but it is okay. After this things will begin to settle into the new seasonal rhythm and you will find your feet once more. Try to stay in your body as much as possible and don’t be too hard on yourself if you can’t make those self-imposed deadlines happen.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Dear Aquarius,
You’ve got a lot to say, but all those thoughts and feelings don’t always do a good job of making their way out of your mouth. And mercury retrograde this month might make it even worse. It might seem like that means it’s a good time to not answer any texts…but the reality is that you need your friends and you need support and you’re not going to get it by doomscrolling yourself into oblivion while ignoring all your messages.
Put in the extra effort this month and see what happens. It might be some work, but having a loving support system is worth it.
Your Tarot Card: The Sun
Oh Aquarius. This moonth is a call to really focus on relationships, particularly your most intimate ones. It is time to shine light on where respect is and is not. Are you really seeing others or are you blinded by self defense? Are your boundaries clear within? How do you want your relationships to feel? Get curious…

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Dear Pisces,
This month your love and romance sectors are alight with rose colored glasses. But mercury in retrograde and the full moon in your sign this month might cause a bit of drama too. So it might not be the best time to make any big decisions about the future just yet. Spend some time this month just focusing on what makes you happy and what brings you joy.
Save the big conversations for next month.
Your Tarot Card: Page of Swords
Watery Pisces… this moonth may be a bit uncomfortable for you. The invitation is for you to ignite some fire and really take some ownership in your life experience. Do you know where your edges are? Is it time to enforce a boundary that you have been feeling big feelings about but not actually stating out loud? When we get to embroiled in our home element we can become off-balance and lose our feet. This is a time for you to embrace your opposing element of fire and find where your power lives in your body. While it may be uncomfortable you will be so very glad you did!
