Today's Horoscope This week This month

Pisces horoscope for September 2023


Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of September in your relationship sector, the solar spotlight is always on your relationships at this time of year, though with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge and a lot more to come even after he leaves on 23rd September. By the time you move into the new month Mars has just left, with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos having just spent seven weeks helping you fight for what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. You also begin the month with Mercury, the planet of communication in retrograde motion here and while he will turn direct on 15th September, the same day that a New Moon offers a chance to draw a new line in the sand, he will remain here all month.

At the same time, held back by her own retrograde phase Venus won't return until 9th October, with the best still to come on the relationship front. Instead, three months after returning for what is normally a 24 day visit to your work sector in early June, Venus is not only still here but has come to a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 4th September. Like Mercury, Venus has to slowly come to a standstill in order to make a U turn and then slowly build up speed on the other side, keeping her here for the rest of the month. This is giving you a chance to continue to exploit potential on not just the job front but as the planet of money, Venus will be working closely with both the North Node and the two planets in retrograde motion in your income sector.

Venus will still be here when the Moon returns to your income sector on 29th September as a Full Moon, something that could act as a trigger or catalyst on the income and job fronts. However, Venus and Mercury are far from the only planets in retrograde motion this month, with Pluto spending his last full month in retrograde motion in your friendship sector just as Uranus is spending his first in retrograde motion in your communication sector and with Jupiter at a standstill ahead of his retrograde turn there on 5th September. Even both planets in Pisces are in retrograde motion, making this a month where there are a lot of old doors open but also where there are new doors opening as well. Especially on the financial front, where Mars is firing things up from the start.

Love & Romance

It is a given that the Sun will spend the first three weeks of September in your relationship sector, with the solar spotlight always on your relationships at this time of year. However, this year there are some noticeable differences in that Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos has just moved through and the month will end with Venus, who by this time last year had been and gone yet to return. At the same time Mercury, who will normally move through in 14 to 15 days will instead spend the whole month in your relationship sector, which as the planet of communication will prove to be a huge advantage. By the time you move into the new month Mars has only been gone for four days, giving you a sense of what you are fighting for from the start.

However, this has also taken the heat and the urgency out of things while at the same time flushing out what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. While since Neptune's return to Pisces in 2012 no planet has been able to move through your relationship sector without clashing, for the first time in three decades you also have Saturn in your sign, with the Sun just separating from an opposition and from a Full Moon as we move into the new month. This has already flushed out any balance issues between your personal and relationship needs, but this is also what makes Mercury's extended stay so important. It was in July that Mercury, the planet of communication returned for what is normally a 14 to 15 day visit and a chance to get the communication lines open.

Instead, a retrograde turn last month has not only kept Mercury here but not turning direct until 15th September he will spend the first half of the month giving the past and unsaid words a voice and the whole month working to give your relationships a voice. Mercury will turn direct on 15th September, the same day that a New Moon will bring an opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings. With Mercury not leaving until 5th October, this means that when the Sun leaves on 23rd September he will stay on, continuing to keep the communication lines open and the seat warm until Venus, the planet of love finally returns next month. Meanwhile, with no planetary activity in your romantic sector, the Moon's return from 8th September to 11th September will give the spirit of romance a boost.


Business & Career

While the Sun left your work sector on 23rd August, the point in each year when the solar spotlight will shift off your work situation and job matters, it is not uncommon to still have Venus here as you move into September. However, what is not the norm is that Venus is not only in retrograde motion, but she began what is normally a 24 day visit back in early June. While Venus will spend time in retrograde motion in your work sector every eight years, until now she has never spent her entire time in retrograde motion here, either retrograding all the way out only to return once she turns direct again or retrograding back in after leaving. The last time that Venus spent her whole retrograde phase here was in 1810.

This is something that until leaving on 9th October is making this Venus' longest visit to your work sector in our lifetime and she is far from done yet. As we move into the new month Venus has come to a standstill ahead of her direct turn on 4th September and while this means that there might not be a lot of movement at the start of the month, that is about to change. Even once she turns direct it will take the planet that can attract opportunities weeks to build up speed, considering that she is here until 9th October and is usually only here for 24 days and you add the months she has already spent here, this gives her more than enough time make this the month that everything comes together.

Helping her to do that is the asteroid Juno, with the queen of commitment having returned for her first visit in four years last month. With Juno not leaving until 18th October, she will be giving you the resolve to make Venus' final weeks here count while staying on to wrap things up with resolutions that can keep the momentum going. The Moon will move through your work sector from 11th September to 13th September, sharpening your instincts, acting as a trigger and ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged during Venus' early days back in direct motion. Meanwhile, as well as sharpening your professional instincts as it moves through your career sector from 21st September to 23rd September, a friendly aspect to Venus and Juno in your work sector is going to make these a pivotal few days on both fronts.

Money

On both sides of the financial fence, there is a mix of the expected and the unexpected and together that spells good news on both sides of the financial fence. On the income side of the financial fence, the expected is that Chiron and the dwarf planet Eris will be in their early months in retrograde motion in your income sector, with the focus always on the path behind and on untapped income potential at this time of year. What is not expected or usual for this time of year is that this isn't at the expense of having one eye on the road ahead and with the promise of new income potential as well. This is thanks to the North Node's return to your income sector in July and is something it will continue to do until leaving in January 2025.

Also unexpected has not only been the level of support from planets in your work sector but that you have had Venus, the planet of money in retrograde motion there since July. Venus will turn direct on 4th September, but she will continue to support both new and untapped income potential for the rest of the month. This is something that the Moon's return to your income sector from 2nd September to 4th September and again from 29th September to 1st October will help you exploit. Meanwhile, on the other side of the financial fence, you also have a mix of the expected and the unexpected. The expected is that the Sun's return to your financial sector on 23rd September is something that will always turn the solar spotlight onto your financial situation and money matters at this time each year.

The Sun has always and will always return to your financial sector on the September equinox each year. However, while the dwarf planet Ceres has been in your financial sector on and off since last September and her deep dive into your financial needs and priorities will end on 16th September, the unexpected is to move into the new month with Mars here as well. It was late last month that the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos returned for his first visit in two years and until leaving on 12th October he is firing up your financial passions and fighting spirit in a mission to see you take your financial power back. The Moon's return to your financial sector from 16th September to 18th September will see it return during the few days that Mars will be on his own, giving you a direct link to his warrior spirit.

Health

While the Sun left your health sector last month, with its departure on 23rd September something that will always take the solar spotlight off your health needs, situation and matters at this time each year, Venus not only stayed on but is still in retrograde motion as you move into the new month. This is a retrograde phase that is keeping the planet of beauty here for four months instead of the 24 days that she would normally spend here, but while she will turn direct on 4th September she won't leave until 9th October. Yet while Venus will spend the whole month fuelling a desire to look and feel good the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is also here, with a chance to turn this into resolutions. You will get a better read on this and on what your body is telling you when the Moon makes its monthly visit to your health sector from 11th September to 13th September
