September 2022 ‘Scopes
Aries
Aries, after the super fiery and action-oriented month of August, you’re entering September in a more mellow, yet quite light-hearted, mood. Your planetary ruler, Mars, has entered Gemini for the next 7 months, activating your sector of communication and creativity.
On October 30, Mars will shift retrograde for the rest of 2022, and this will significantly slow down your momentum in October - December. And even this month, we have Mercury, the Planet of Communication, shifting retrograde in Libra on September 9. This activates your sector of partnership and marriage, and you’ll already feel the pre-effects of the retrograde shadow as soon as September begins. This month is therefore about evaluating what your values are as a partner, and as a communicator.
With Chiron, the asteroid that represents our inner wounds, currently retrograde in your sign for several more months, you may benefit from tapping into your healing journey more transparently, and not isolating yourself in the process. This may be easier for you to do now that the Virgo New Moon took place August 27th, activating your sector of health and well-being. You have no choice but to take your psychological and physical health more seriously, and part of the way that you choose to do so may be through consciously slowing down and doing less.
Virgo Season’s energy has you reflecting on ways you can become a better human, but Libra Season’s energy will remind you that you’ve already been whole, even if you’re imperfect. So take it easy on yourself, Aries!
Taurus
Taurus, for the past six weeks, Mars, the Planet of Action, has been in your sign, and this is the first full month that it’s spending in the sign of Gemini. Instead of remaining in Gemini for 6 weeks, though, it’ll remain there for 7 months. This activates your sector of money and security until March 2023. This month is also the first full month that Uranus, the Planet of Revolution and Change, spends retrograde in your sign.
This is a five-month retrograde that’s just begun, which means you’re going through one of the most radical periods of rebirth you’ve felt all year — and you may not have even seen it coming. Thankfully, at the end of August we experienced a fortifying New Moon in Virgo, which activated your sector of play, adventure, and true love. This means that you’re likely to be transforming right alongside someone special during Uranus Retrograde in your sign — perhaps someone who you once had let go of, or vice versa, and that the Universe has reconnected you with.
Your mission is to not be overly suspicious of people’s motives this month, Taurus. Mars in Gemini is infusing more carefree and adventurous energy into your life for a reason. Trust in the magic of new beginnings, but also make sure you’ve tied up loose ends that have to do with your past. Mercury’s retrograde in Libra starting September 9 is likely to assist you with the process of gaining much needed closure, particularly when it comes to areas of your life where you feel like you weren’t “enough”. The most revolutionary act you can do this month is to increase your self-confidence and live with greater passion and purpose.
Gemini
Gemini, Mars, the Planet of Action, has officially entered your sign for the next 7 months. This is pretty rare, because usually Mars remains in each sign for six weeks. But since Mars will be shifting retrograde on October 30, it’s paying your sign an extra-long visit, which means the Universe wants you to learn, teach, and remember key lessons that most signs may take longer to integrate. This doesn’t mean you have to step into the role of a student or a teacher, but it does mean that you’re most likely going to want to do so.
This is one of the most powerful periods of the year for amping up your revolutionary instincts, especially if you’ve been feeling like there have been many underground shenanigans occurring politically or psychologically. You’re quite astute at this time — even more than usual, and you may be the leader when it comes to collectively awakening your fellow human beings. But watch out, Gemini, on September 9 Mercury, your planetary ruler, shifts retrograde in the sign of Libra for 3 weeks, and you’ll feel the pre-shadow effects as soon as September begins.
This means that no matter what your intentions may be, there are chances that people around you will misinterpret what you’re saying or doing this month, and if you focus on launching something new, it may fall flat. Instead, turn your eye towards the past and re-launch previous initiatives, or give previous plans a new try. By the time Libra Season begins the 22nd, you may feel inspired to pave a brand new path in your life, and it’ll pay off.
Cancer
Cancer, now that you’ve made it through the final Supermoon of the year (the Aquarius full moon that occurred in August, you’re going to be able to flow through these final 4 months of 2022 with more of a stable spirit, even if we still are in the midst of retrograde season, and eclipse season is two months away.
As a Moon-ruled being, the cycles of the moon have a stronger effect on you than any zodiac sign, which is why you’re often viewed as “moody”. But with Mars, the Planet of Action, now in Gemini for the next 7 months, your sector of spirituality and healing is activated, which means you may be feeling like your emotions fluctuate even more than ever. Just when you thought Virgo Season’s energy was stabilizing your life, Mars in Gemini’s 7-month transit reminds you that everything about life is centered around change. Change is everything, and your own moods fluctuate often.
The Pisces New Moon on September 10 will help you turn your emotions into a form of catharsis, and this catharsis can help humanity as a collective, as we learn to face what we tend to fear. Our sensitivity truly becomes our superpower, and this is the month you realize this. Once Libra Season begins on September 22, you’ll feel emotionally lighter and more in tune, even in the midst of Mercury Retrograde. You’ve come so far, Cancer. Celebrate yourself profusely.
Leo
Now that your birthday season has come and gone, you’re still feeling the flames of rebirth within and around you, particularly with Venus in your sign for the first few days of September. This has been a vibrant summer for you, and as we continue to experience Virgo Season you’re going to reap financial and spiritual rewards, especially ones tied to past endeavors or past karmic points you’ve earned. People don’t always realize how generous you are — you’re generous without necessarily showing it off for people to see. But the Universe has been watching you, and all those times you gave from your heart abundantly is about to pour back into your life, tenfold.
This may occur around the Pisces Full Moon September 10, and it’ll feel riveting to see how whimsically it call comes together. Almost like a dream. “What if it all is a dream?” That’s what you’re encouraged to think of this month, Leo. Instead of being focused on the practical steps of what’s next, let your imagination take the lead and have fun flowing into the unknown, even during Mercury Retrograde (which begins September 9, a day before the Pisces Full Moon).
The less seriously you take yourself this month, the better. Your inner child wants to dream, so let them. Sleep more, play more, laugh more. Let that be your Leo mantra this month. By the time Libra Season begins on the 22nd, your communication sector will be activated and you’ll be glad you let yourself have downtime before opening up your throat chakra and spittin’ more truth for the world to hear. I love this for you!
Virgo
Virgo, your ruler Mercury’s about to shift retrograde on the 9th, and we start off the month in the pre-shadow period. This is the third Mercury Retrograde of 2022, and you’re getting more used to its lessons by now. It’s simply not that huge of a deal to you, and it doesn’t need to be. The less big of a deal you make Mercury Retrograde, the easier it’ll be to flow through it.
Focus instead on the serendipity that you’ll feel around your annual full moon in Pisces, which strikes September 10th. This will activate your sector of marriage and partnership, helping you tune into your current emotional needs as a lover and friend. Even your business or artistic partnerships will benefit from a period of re-evaluation and re-alignment. You don’t have to make any brash decisions this month, but you’d benefit from letting your emotions take the lead and trusting that you are flowing intuitively, and not simply “logically”.
With Mars, the Planet of Action, in your fellow Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini, you’re also learning how to let yourself change your mind, even if it may mean surprising or disappointing others. During the rest of your birthday season, allow yourself to say no to what you’re no longer interested in, and instead direct your energy toward what your inner child has been dreaming about doing. By the time Libra Season begins on the 22nd, you may find a way to get paid doing what you love, or even delegating what you love, creatively.
Libra
Libra, your planetary ruler Venus spends most of the month in the sign of Virgo, which means September may feel more solitude-oriented for you. This is a great thing. Mercury, the Planet of Communication, is shifting retrograde on the 9th, in your sign. You are really being called to slow down and listen to yourself. Listen to your heart. Listen to the messages that have been coursing through you. You’ve spent much time pouring your energy into others, whether it’s at work, at home, or in your friendships or romantic connections. Retrograde season asks you to pause on all the giving, and take tine to figure out what you need to receive. The Pisces Full Moon on the 10th of September may help you feel more intuitively guided. Instead of always checking in with friends and family for help, you can check in with yourself.
You often have the answers even closer to your chest than you’d care to admit, and with Mercury Retrograde taking place in your sign this cycle, it’ll be nearly impossible to lie to yourself. However, since retrogrades can lead to miscommunication, it’s likely that others will believe you are lying to them. And who knows, perhaps you are. Accept your flaws and imperfections, just as you celebrate your strengths and talents. This is an essential part of your journey this month, Libra, and once you make it to your birthday season on the 22nd, you’ll understand why you had to jump through these cosmic hoops.
Scorpio
Scorpio, September 2022 reminds you that with discipline, patience, and courage, you can have it all. But you don’t have to have it all at once. You can take your time exploring the facets of what you want, and also release what you may have once wanted, but no longer want. That’s what the Pisces Full Moon on the 10th of September will help you do.
Since Mercury will be retrograde in Libra on the 9th, and activating Scorpio’s sector of healing and spirituality, you’ll be more in tune with what’s felt draining to you, consciously or unconsciously. You’ll also be in tune with your own shadows, and you’ll know when you’ve felt draining to your own self. And sometimes the reason why this is happening is because you’re reluctant to allow change to fully take place in your life. Uranus is retrograde in Taurus right now, activating your sector of partnership, and that’s probably an element of your life you feel is changing rapidly.
So much of what you asked for can manifest this month, but you’d benefit from fine tuning what you asked for, and being even more self-aware about whether you have the capacity to receive what you’ve asked for. There’s no need to make huge decisions right now, but it’s best to not avoid these conversations with self. This is likely to be one of your most introspective months of the year, Scorpio. You’ll feel supremely focused on your objectives, particularly your career goals, and on your spiritual rebirth. If you must isolate yourself to recharge, do so. You know what’s best for your evolution.
Sagittarius
Sag, September 2022 can feel both nerve-wracking and profoundly motivating for you. During Virgo Season, Mercury will shift retrograde starting the 9th, in the sign of Libra. This activates your sector of friendship and social networks, so this area of your life is likely to undergo a period of re-evaluation, as you decide what you have time to pour your energy into, and why.
People may also be going through an audit of their relationship with you at this time, but instead of making impulsive decisions about each other, it’s best to infuse more laughter and emotional detachment into the situation, through being transparent about the need to take time to figure out what you even want from your digital and in-person connections. Chances are, you’re starting to feel burnt out from having to be everything to everyone, especially since Jupiter, your planetary ruler, is retrograde in Aries for a few more months.
Whew, Sag. You’re going through way more than others can outwardly see. And it’s time to trust yourself enough to be vulnerable with what you’re going through. The Pisces Full Moon on the 10th of September is likely to help you access that level of emotional transparency. And Mars in Gemini in your sector of marriage (until 2023) will help you attract or deepen a connection with a cosmic soulmate (either platonically or romantically) who facilitates your healing journey this month. Dare to believe that you’re divinely taken care of.
Capricorn
Capricorn, last month you let yourself play more, and now September 2022 encourages you to infuse more structure and practicality in your life, particularly during Virgo Season. That doesn’t mean you can’t keep connecting with your inner child (that should ideally be a regular way of life for you), but rather that you should balance it out with conscious re-parenting or your own self. Your “adult duties” don’t have to be seen as boring or tedious. Perhaps this month you can accomplish one of your bucket list items, such as buying a vintage collection items or spontaneously booking your trip to a dream destination (perhaps before September 9, since Mercury shifts retrograde that day).
The Pisces Full Moon on the 10th reminds you that time is a social construct, so if you’ve been waiting for the perfect “time” to take the leap on a venture — especially a recurring one — then you may need to remember that all we have is now. At the same time, with over 6 planets and asteroids retrograde right now, the only projects that are likely to truly kickoff are the ones you started a while back, and that you’ve been meaning to complete but that you may have procrastinated on or delayed for sone reason.
September encourages Capricorns to get back to work on them, because they’re going to pay off beyond belief in coming weeks and months. Let yourself get re-inspired by your initial vision, especially now that Mars is in Gemini until March 2023, helping you look at life, and art, from multi-dimensional perspectives. Libra Season starts on the 22nd and further activates this open-minded vision within you. Keep going!
Aquarius
Aquarius, now that you experienced the Supermoon in your sign last month, the month of September helps you come down from that cosmic high, while still reflecting on what it all meant for you, and for humanity as a whole. Since Saturn, one of your planetary rulers, is in your sign until March 2023, it may not be until then that the Supermoon’s messaging truly becomes a clear signal for you to express outwardly, but this month you’re already putting together the pieces of what needs to change in your daily habits, and what also needs to change in society’s programming as a collective.
You are so ahead of the crowd that at times it gives you a headache, but with the Full Moon in Pisces on the 10th activating your sector of abundance and security, you’d benefit from writing your ideas down or sharing them in a vocal or visual format — people are starting to see where you’re coming from, and your ability to go viral (especially regarding a topic you’ve spoken about in the past, due to Mercury Retrograde’s influence) increases significantly this month. But what will you do with all that attention? That’s the next question to ask of yourself this month, especially once Libra Season begins on the 22nd.
Your popularity is increasing, but don’t let that deter you from living in accordance with your values. Check in with yourself spiritually and psychologically as you expand this month, Aquarius. And remember to stay centered.
Pisces
Pisces, you’ll experience a brilliant full moon in your sign on September 10, one day after Mercury Retrograde begins in the sign of Libra. You’ll feel many Venus and Neptune-based vibes this month, which means not everything will feel clear to you. Everything will feel like some sort of hallucinogen, and it may be challenging to know what’s real and what’s not. That’s because it’s never that sure in the first place.
Treat yourself with great compassion and empathy this month, Pisces, especially between September 6 and September 14 — those are the dates that the Pisces full moon’s energy will be most potently felt. Once Libra Season begins the 22nd, your sector of intimacy, merging, and outside resources will be activated, and this can help you explore different ways of building generational wealth, perhaps unexpectedly. Your mission is to not count your chicken before they hatch by being overly optimistic. You’re someone who seeks to better their own life in order to help better the world, but that can also lead to you placing too many expectations on yourself, and then being supremely disappointed if you don’t meet them.
Let the Libra New Moon on the 25th help you treat yourself with more lightness, perhaps with a lover (or two) by your side, encouraging you to heal gracefully. Jupiter will be re-entering your sign next month, on October 28th, so you’re likely to be focused on your financial wellbeing and emotional wellness this month, Pisces. Take these aspects of life seriously, and soar.
