Your September 2024 horoscopes have officially arrived. Whether you’ve had a demure summer/winter (depending on where you are in the world) or a wild one, we all have to choose our poison. September is that peculiar month that perfectly bridges winter and spring Down Under, with the Spring Equinox arriving on the 22nd. What sets this September apart from last year’s? For starters, we have the first entry eclipse in Pisces, signalling the nodal change we’ll see on January 25th when the nodes shift from Aries/Libra to Pisces/Virgo. It’s like taking a trip into the void — you might end up in the 5th dimension with a mystical unicorn or sipping mushroom tea with Alan Watts. With Pisces, you never know what to expect because it’s deeply connected to the world we can’t touch but can feel. In essence, we’ll all be wandering through imaginary lands.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Pluto moves back into Capricorn for the last time in our lifetimes until November 19th. This is a moment to seriously reflect on the role we’ve been playing in the Matrix, what needs a global reboot, and, most importantly, how we can be the voice and the light to put it all into action. Spread the message through underground networks if you have to. Particularly with Uranus in Taurus switching into retrograde on the same day, it’s a clear omen for structural change and liberation.

Mark these dates in your calendar: September 2nd — Uranus in Taurus goes retrograde and Pluto moves into Capricorn; September 3rd — New Moon in Virgo; September 18th — Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces; and September 22nd — Sun enters Libra and the Autumn Equinox.

Aries

If you can’t remember your usual route to work this month, it might not be such a bad thing. Sometimes we need to get lost to rediscover our true direction. As Dorothy said, “there’s no place like home.” It’s often through unexpected adventures that we undergo the most transformation and truly hear the voice of our soul. With the New Moon in Virgo landing in your house of work and routine, and the Full Moon eclipse peeling back the veil between the ordinary world and the dream realm, get used to finding your footing in both.

Your cosmic instruction? Journal often, identify any narratives that don’t affirm your uniqueness, and dive into some art therapy.

Taurus

You’re starting to wrap up some important lessons around designing a life infused with your authentic essence, restructuring values that might not align with mainstream norms, and shedding the voice in your mind that tells you there’s no place for your unique service in the world. As Uranus in Taurus goes retrograde, it’s time to reassess how much work you have left to do. While Uranus officially moves into Gemini in 2026, it will make a brief appearance next year, so the clock is ticking.

Fortunately, you have some cosmic helpers to lighten the load. The New Moon in Virgo may help you connect strategic dots, allowing you to relax on your chaise lounge like the Venusian passenger princess you are while still rising to the challenge.

Gemini

Last month, you may have felt like you were stuck on pause, as if no matter how hard you tried, you kept running into roadblocks filled with red and amber lights. Now, as if by magic, the streets are clear. If you’re unsure what I mean, go read our download on the Jupiter-Square-Saturn transit. At this juncture, however, the New Moon in Virgo lands in your house of home, reminding you why you embarked on this expedition in the first place.

It reignites your inner flame and passions, allowing you to reset your goals and commit to their slow but focused execution. What should you carry with you next month? A compass, sparkly boots, a Polaroid of your besties, and Britney Spears’ hit “Stronger” on a continuous loop.

Cancer

Who would Persephone have become without her beau, Hades? We’ll never know, but in mythic lore, he was the catalyst that allowed her to step into the full depths of her own power. With Pluto looking back into Capricorn for the last time, it might throw a wrench into your relationship zone, sparking a climactic awakening. This is your moment to recognise who and what is helping you elevate—and who or what is holding you back, making you play small. It’s time to channel your inner Buffy the Vampire Slayer and banish whatever needs to go.

The other storyline to consider is whether your long-term visions are bound by fictional (societal) rules or if you can finally see the true blueprint of your future. How can you tell the difference? Pay attention to how much your creative process makes you come alive.

Leo

You need to feel like you’re in the driver’s seat of your career, without your destiny being controlled by 'higher-ups' who lack vision. Your close confidant Uranus is your right-hand collaborator, shaking the table just enough to show you that you have more agency than you initially thought. Revisit your origin story — how you believe in your creative gifts and how they can create a lasting ripple of change. Don’t be afraid to be a little more disruptive and rebellious; after all, anyone aiming for a prolific status may need to make some tactical moves to outmanoeuvre the Agent Smiths along the way.

As you start to scale your mission impossible plan, jot down key points during the New Moon in Virgo so you can spot-check any parts of your scheme that don’t add up.

Virgo

We’ve all heard it before: to live the life of our dreams, we must accept that perfection won’t get us there, and we need a strong support network to lean on. This month will show us exactly what that looks like in real time. Your New Moon in Virgo fortune cookie reads, “Carry all of your contradictions with you, as they hold the key to your true potential, the very things that make you stand out from the crowd.”

The Full Moon eclipse in Pisces goes down in your zone of relationships and collaborations. This isn’t just about ‘them’; it’s equally about ‘you.’ What unspoken dynamics in your connections need to be addressed? How does your intuition guide you in navigating relationships? Take the month slowly, as the personal revelations are about to be biblical.

Libra

At some point in our lives, we stop trying to please everyone and focus on diving into what truly pleases ourselves. As analytical as Virgo can be, the New Moon works in your favour to uncover and address any unconscious behaviours that might be stifling your voice and creative agency. Does it make you uncomfortable to value things that aren’t on the top of the societal agenda for being a "functioning adult"?

Frida Kahlo didn’t conform to conventional painting styles, and other iconic figures prioritised their sacred work above all else. You get to decide what matters most and what comes secondary; a boring life is made up of predictable choices. The Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces is a time to expand your creative visions without boundaries or borders. Don’t doubt for a second that these visions are just unrealistic figments of your imagination. As it’s also your birthday month, you have an early start on imagining what you want to experience in your incoming year. And, the missing ingredient is their Libra Mercury cazimi on the 30th. Another cosmic blessing, to double up on your self-belief.

Scorpio

The best and most uncomfortable truth about life is that nothing stays the same. You might encounter someone who reveals the secret pages of a code you’ve been trying to crack — whether that code is the next step in your career, overcoming your fear of public perception, or anything else that has been preventing you from fully introducing yourself, and your gifts to the world. Thank Uranus for taking on this task, although note this cosmic planet works in unpredictable ways, so be on your toes.

If something comes too easily, you might question whether it’s real. But what if you didn’t have to jump through endless trials to achieve your creative goals? Everything has a loophole, and the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces might reveal the backdoor to help you skip ahead in the queue.

Sagittarius

Sometimes, even when you have a plan and have ticked all the boxes, it still might not be the right time to see it through completely. You may have come to this realisation last month. So, take all the wisdom regarding timing this month, and wait for the right moment to hit the green light. The New Moon in Virgo focuses on your zone of genius, so if you feel you haven’t been making the career progress you hoped for, reflect on whether: a) you’re reaching the right audience, or b) you’re serving in a way that aligns with your intrinsic expertise. It can be hard to discern the difference, so seek feedback from those who know you best.

You might be approaching a new crossroads related to home, travel, and discovery. Have you been considering moving across the country or shifting your business into new markets? Look to the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces for some answers.

Capricorn

You've walked through the underworld and back again, and now you can confidently say that you’ve graduated from maiden to shamanic priestess. There is one final lesson to integrate as Pluto moves into Capricorn: What does it mean to be a change-maker in a rapidly evolving world? You are more important than you realize, and you might sense that your role as a leader can elevate your sense of identity, legacy, and communal contribution. There’s nothing you can’t overcome now, so the sooner you identify your ‘final boss,’ the more you can focus on making significant strides in your future roadmap.

Aquarius

Retrospectively look back on your year so far. What risks have you taken that have paid off? How have you honored what hasn’t worked? What mistakes have you yet to forgive yourself for? Return to ground zero when the New Moon in Virgo activates your house of transformation and rebirth. You don’t have to remain attached to anything that doesn’t uplift your soul or makes you feel stuck in an endless cycle of stagnation. If money were no object, what would you want to learn, absorb, and experiment with? Lay all your cards on the table, and the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces may help you work with the resources you have, and some might even be gifted from a patron.

Pisces

Your treasure hunt this month involves seeking out the following items in the rubble and soil: discipline, minding your own business, and visionary magic. You have to engage in the game if you want to master it, but first, you must recognise that you're actually in one. Denial won’t get you anywhere fast, so take responsibility, and the world will be yours to conquer. Choose your perfectly matched team members on the New Moon in Virgo, so you don’t have to rely solely on your own mythical map to find the gold. Consider this month as the beginning of a new chapter in redefining your identity and the labels you’ve attached to it. When the Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces reigns supreme in your sign, you’ll have no choice but to place the biggest bets on yourself that you’ve made in a long time.
