Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
September can begin on a busy note, dear Cancer, but you tend to settle in and pace yourself as it advances. Your projects, studies, and personal interests continue to figure strongly. You can feel a little less weighed down by material concerns.
The Full Moon on the 2nd falls in harmony with your sign, and you might awaken to true feelings about a course of study or project. This revelation can propel you in a new direction or reinforce your commitment to a current path. Relationship tensions can be pressing in the days following this lunation, and frustrations can motivate you to begin anew with a special pursuit. A lovely change of pace or escape may be just what you need to clear your head. Try to avoid impulsive or dramatic moves that won't serve you well in the long run.
Venus leaves your sign on the 6th when it transits your solar second house, reminding you of the comforts and pleasures of simple, earthy activities. This period is less about making money and more about enjoying what you have. Attracting rather than chasing resources is most successful now.
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th, and you may be rethinking some elements of your current path. Enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, or you may be returning to old projects to firm them up or redo them. You could feel as if you're going through the motions in your work or with duties until you get into better touch with your desires and needs. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. Aim to conserve your energy and avoid pushing things that require time to develop. It's a fine period for editing projects already in progress, but not ideal for all-new initiatives.
Jupiter and Saturn end their retrogrades this month, and both planets are on their last leg of their transits through your partnership sector. These are good omens for your close relationships, partnerships, and sense of balance. There can be more clarity or forward movement in a partnership. You experience less fear and more joy now, or you feel you're turning a corner in a relationship. Your needs are more apparent. There could be more helpful, happy, or pleasing people coming (or coming back) into your life. Realistic expectations of projects and people lead to happier moods.
Others can benefit from your know-how this month, and it can be rewarding to share and exchange ideas. Building faith in a relationship can be in focus and rewarding. Combining talents, abilities, and resources with someone is successful. You might take on an unusual or non-traditional approach to business, purchases, and money matters.
The New Moon on the 17th brings fresh energy or new beginnings with learning, sharing, ideas, mental outlook, communications, transportation, personal interests, or daily life. You're feeling inspired and encouraged. Even so, with Mars currently retrograde, it's a good idea to slow down, review, and take on only what you can truly manage.
You crave more security and comfort as the month advances. The Sun heads into your home and family sector on the 22nd. Winding down holds more appeal.
This month, with so much on your mind, consider that impatience or unexpressed anger can lead to mistakes or missteps. Mercury, Mars, and Saturn clash in the last week of September, producing some tension and impatience. Watch for getting too worked up about things that genuinely don't matter in the long run. You may be tempted to say or do something out of character. Challenges from the public or professional camp can spill over into other life departments. Resolving conflicts only comes after you confront the issues.
People can be intrigued by your viewpoint or talents. Your unique qualities are more noticeable. Events and situations seem to gently stoke your ambitions or encourage you to do your best. While you're exploring your satisfaction levels this month, you might also rediscover old passions.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
September 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 21st:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From September 22nd forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 5th:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From September 6th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From September 6-26:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
From September 27th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your career, professional life, ambition, public relations, and your reputation because Mars rules these areas of your life in your solar chart. Stalling, snags, challenges, or seeming setbacks might alert you to the need for re-organizing your energy and enthusiasm for these matters, for re-assessing goals, or for changing plans.
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.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
September 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
September 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 11th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From September 12th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.

You crave more security and comfort as the month advances. The Sun heads into your home and family sector on the 22nd. Winding down holds more appeal.
This month, with so much on your mind, consider that impatience or unexpressed anger can lead to mistakes or missteps. Mercury, Mars, and Saturn clash in the last week of September, producing some tension and impatience. Watch for getting too worked up about things that genuinely don't matter in the long run. You may be tempted to say or do something out of character. Challenges from the public or professional camp can spill over into other life departments. Resolving conflicts only comes after you confront the issues.
People can be intrigued by your viewpoint or talents. Your unique qualities are more noticeable. Events and situations seem to gently stoke your ambitions or encourage you to do your best. While you're exploring your satisfaction levels this month, you might also rediscover old passions.

About These 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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as 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 Lunar Cycles 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, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
