Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries:
September continues a theme in which work, self-care, health, or services are in the spotlight, dear Aries. You take more pride in the work you do or in your ability to handle the details of your life. If you need to get back on track with managing routines or pursuing health programs, this is a stellar time to do so, as long as you don't push yourself too hard. The Full Moon on the 2nd can remind you to balance things out. Close relationships and negotiating come into stronger focus as the month advances.
Practical developments can be notable this month. Taking care of mental health is not something to ignore while pursuing your many personal and work goals. Resolve to do your best to respect your natural body energy rhythms instead of challenging them.
Mars moves very slowly and then turns retrograde on the 9th. As your fiery, energetic ruler, you may feel that life is slowing down or that you don't have the usual energy and direction. It might take some time to orient yourself to this, but once you do, you'll benefit from taking extra time to pause, reflect, and look back. The entire retrograde cycle lasts until November 13th, and Mars stays in your sign the whole time, making it very personal! There may be some things that catch up with you at this time, and that prompt a need to review, return to a previous condition, or tie up loose ends.
It's not always that you lack confidence during Mars' retrograde, but that you often need to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck. Watch for temper tantrums since they're unlikely to go over well. You'll be at your strongest if you tame impatience and work on plans that need fine-tuning rather than taking on new things. Aim to correct misunderstandings promptly. We often overestimate our physical capabilities during retrograde Mars cycles, and it's best to keep this in check.
Aim to consider areas of your life that you may have charged past and now can use some revamping or extra attention. You may find some gems in the process.
Fortunately, Venus moves into harmony with your sign from the 6th forward. It's a good time for creative communications and pleasure. Connecting with people who share similar or complementary interests to yours can figure strongly.
From the 5-27, Mercury opposes your sign and is another strong influence for pleasures and benefits through and with others. It's a terrific time for collaborating or enjoying more interaction with someone special. You are seeing things from a new perspective and considering the other side of the coin. This transit does reinforce a theme of indecision in your life this month, but it may very well give you a welcome break.
The Full Moon on the 2nd awakens your need to pay more attention to your inner world and intuition. There can be frustrations related to overwork or heightened awareness of your need to rest and recuperate. Watch for impulsiveness since desires come on quickly. If you're feeling a little on edge or unsatisfied, the temptation to rile others up can come on strongly. With some work, challenges now can result in a new understanding, both of others and your own needs.
You might feel particularly inspired by a work or health pursuit, project, or lifestyle adjustment. Both Jupiter and Saturn turn direct this month on the 12th and 29th, respectively. You're likely to feel more hopefulness, faith, and confidence, particularly with your career or life direction, long-term goals, and career prospects and outlook. You're also ready to put in the work. You may have recently questioned whether your efforts have had much impact, and now you feel stronger -- ready to take on a challenge. You bring more confidence to your work, or you feel more capable of handling your responsibilities and taking the lead. If a business venture or life path seems to have blocked up in recent months, you are now turning a corner.
Look for ways to reform, renovate, upgrade, and reorganize your work. The New Moon on the 17th is powerful for intuition, particularly regarding your work, habits, health, routines, nutrition, chores, and services, prompting new beginnings along any of these lines. You may feel the need to reorient yourself and explore different ways to manage your energy and time.
Watch for disagreements and impatience when Mars forms tense aspects in the last week of the month. If you observe your actions carefully, you may notice a self-destructive way of shooting yourself in the foot. Matters of opinion and freedom can come to a head. Watch for speaking or acting too soon. If you've been pushing ahead too quickly, a slowdown may eventually get you back on course better equipped.
While you're doing things differently these days, good energy is with you for creative, romantic, and entertaining pursuits. And, even if some relationships are complicated, your personal magnetism is strong.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
September 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 21st:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From September 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 5th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From September 6th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From September 6-26:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From September 27th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you on a highly personal level because Mars is your sign's ruler. If you have an Aries Ascendant, Mars is your chart ruler, and Mars retrograde can also affect you on the physical plane as well as your personal presentation or image to others. You don't assert yourself or state what it is that you want as directly as you normally do, and you could be withdrawn and introspective, pulling back from life a little as you figure out what it is that you truly want from it. Pushing yourself during this Mars retrograde cycle will only lead to frustrations and slowdowns. It's time to review how you have been handling yourself in terms of self-assertion and expression of anger in general, and for considering making changes to your approach to getting what you want out of life.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

September 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.

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 fifth house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’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.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
