Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
September 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
September brings an important theme around communications, connectedness, and learning, dear Cancer. You could be especially motivated to sort out your everyday affairs, get going on a learning endeavor or study, or push a communications project forward. It's a great time for gathering your facts, although there will be times when you could feel a little harried. Transits encourage you to experiment with different ideas and projects, but it's best to keep this moderate. This is an excellent month for a new mental pursuit or project if only you have a chance to focus on it!
With a busy communications sector this month, you're likely to find much to do, and your interests are many! With plenty of items on your to-do list, tension is sometimes entirely possible. However, keeping busy comes naturally and mostly pleasurably. You're particularly motivated to learn, communicate, and connect. The last week of September should be more peaceful. Until then, your curiosity leads the way to a variety of experiences.
Uranus turns retrograde on the first of the month, and in the five months of its retrograde (from September 1st to January 30th), some things calm down on the social front. It's a valuable period for processing recent changes and events with friends, which benefits you immensely, helping to prevent impulsive, regrettable decisions. When you act from your heart rather than merely react to others and circumstances, you do yourself a service during this retrograde phase.
Also on the first, Pluto moves back into your partnership sector for the final time, suggesting more attention is needed to renovate a close relationship or manage your relationship goals and needs until November 19th, when it moves on for good. While it may seem you're going over old ground, this review can ultimately work in your favor. It's Pluto's very last leg of its transit of this area of your solar chart, where it has been for a decade and a half! It can be a time to put problems of overcontrolling or resentment behind you, particularly with one-to-one relationships.
With the New Moon on the 2nd, new beginnings related to communications, mobility, and commuting are in the works for you. You've recently awakened to a stronger desire to reach out, learn, connect, and share your ideas, and with this New Moon, you'll feel more directed and in charge. Learning new or improving current skills, making new acquaintances, or connecting with others more meaningfully can figure strongly. You're making a difference with what you say or how you connect with others. This New Moon is about starting fresh mentally.
This month stands out for motivation and energy on both physical and mental levels, and it's good to find ways to ride these things to your advantage. September 4th brings Mars into your sign and symbolically out of "hiding" in your chart. Confidence returns with force. Actively pursue your desires, which can be plentiful for the time being! You're making things happen, and while you can be a little headstrong and impatient at times, this is generally a strong time for knowing what you want and getting things done. You're connecting with your independence and personal courage, overcoming any existing fears of trusting your instincts or going it alone. You feel pleasantly motivated. People are attracted to your wit, independence, and originality.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 17th is powerful for altering your worldview, affecting your choices, decisions, and path forward. Tension is likely, but it's motivating. This eclipse stirs your senses. Buried feelings and desires can emerge in powerful ways now. It can illuminate a matter of spirit, adventure, learning, or the fruition of a project. If you've ignored your needs for mind expansion, circumstances now tend to force the issue. An idea that you've been toying with may blossom.
Take your time to process and digest these things because even though some things are magnified, others are hidden or downplayed, and it can take time to arrive at a balanced perspective. Complicated feelings can quickly bubble up to the surface, but while they can be confusing, aim to deal with them in your own time. Avoid impulsive communications or moves. Try not to take on new projects based on the moment's exaggerated inspiration, as you may not have enough time or energy to complete them later.
While you could feel overwhelmed with what you need to learn, do, or understand at this time, discontent now can spur you to make meaningful improvements. Your urge to truly live and experience things rather than go through the motions can dominate now. This eclipse introduces a new theme into your life that will stick with you until 2027! It's about communicating, transit, getting where you want to go, and exploring ideas and beliefs.
The Sun and Mercury move into your home and family sector on the 22nd and the 26th, encouraging a stronger desire to enjoy the peace and security of home life and less interest in venturing out. There can be nice opportunities to bond with those closest to you. Meaningful conversations about or with family are likely.
From the 22nd, Venus transits your joy and pleasure sector, enhancing your attractiveness and boosting your sense of fun. You're expressing a playful, deserving, and confident energy that draws others in. It's good energy for awakening your inner artist and exploring fun interests and hobbies.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
September 2024 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
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.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 17th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 22nd:
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 23rd 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 8th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From September 9th to 26th:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
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, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
From September 26th forward:
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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From September 4th forward:
You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper.
Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.

AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
September 2024 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2024
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 6th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From September 6th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 15th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
September 2024 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
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.
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.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on September 17th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 14th:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
From September 15th forward:
Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.
You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 20th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From September 20th forward:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
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, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
September brings an important theme around communications, connectedness, and learning, dear Cancer. You could be especially motivated to sort out your everyday affairs, get going on a learning endeavor or study, or push a communications project forward. It's a great time for gathering your facts, although there will be times when you could feel a little harried. Transits encourage you to experiment with different ideas and projects, but it's best to keep this moderate. This is an excellent month for a new mental pursuit or project if only you have a chance to focus on it!
With a busy communications sector this month, you're likely to find much to do, and your interests are many! With plenty of items on your to-do list, tension is sometimes entirely possible. However, keeping busy comes naturally and mostly pleasurably. You're particularly motivated to learn, communicate, and connect. The last week of September should be more peaceful. Until then, your curiosity leads the way to a variety of experiences.
Uranus turns retrograde on the first of the month, and in the five months of its retrograde (from September 1st to January 30th), some things calm down on the social front. It's a valuable period for processing recent changes and events with friends, which benefits you immensely, helping to prevent impulsive, regrettable decisions. When you act from your heart rather than merely react to others and circumstances, you do yourself a service during this retrograde phase.
Also on the first, Pluto moves back into your partnership sector for the final time, suggesting more attention is needed to renovate a close relationship or manage your relationship goals and needs until November 19th, when it moves on for good. While it may seem you're going over old ground, this review can ultimately work in your favor. It's Pluto's very last leg of its transit of this area of your solar chart, where it has been for a decade and a half! It can be a time to put problems of overcontrolling or resentment behind you, particularly with one-to-one relationships.
With the New Moon on the 2nd, new beginnings related to communications, mobility, and commuting are in the works for you. You've recently awakened to a stronger desire to reach out, learn, connect, and share your ideas, and with this New Moon, you'll feel more directed and in charge. Learning new or improving current skills, making new acquaintances, or connecting with others more meaningfully can figure strongly. You're making a difference with what you say or how you connect with others. This New Moon is about starting fresh mentally.
This month stands out for motivation and energy on both physical and mental levels, and it's good to find ways to ride these things to your advantage. September 4th brings Mars into your sign and symbolically out of "hiding" in your chart. Confidence returns with force. Actively pursue your desires, which can be plentiful for the time being! You're making things happen, and while you can be a little headstrong and impatient at times, this is generally a strong time for knowing what you want and getting things done. You're connecting with your independence and personal courage, overcoming any existing fears of trusting your instincts or going it alone. You feel pleasantly motivated. People are attracted to your wit, independence, and originality.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 17th is powerful for altering your worldview, affecting your choices, decisions, and path forward. Tension is likely, but it's motivating. This eclipse stirs your senses. Buried feelings and desires can emerge in powerful ways now. It can illuminate a matter of spirit, adventure, learning, or the fruition of a project. If you've ignored your needs for mind expansion, circumstances now tend to force the issue. An idea that you've been toying with may blossom.
Take your time to process and digest these things because even though some things are magnified, others are hidden or downplayed, and it can take time to arrive at a balanced perspective. Complicated feelings can quickly bubble up to the surface, but while they can be confusing, aim to deal with them in your own time. Avoid impulsive communications or moves. Try not to take on new projects based on the moment's exaggerated inspiration, as you may not have enough time or energy to complete them later.
While you could feel overwhelmed with what you need to learn, do, or understand at this time, discontent now can spur you to make meaningful improvements. Your urge to truly live and experience things rather than go through the motions can dominate now. This eclipse introduces a new theme into your life that will stick with you until 2027! It's about communicating, transit, getting where you want to go, and exploring ideas and beliefs.
The Sun and Mercury move into your home and family sector on the 22nd and the 26th, encouraging a stronger desire to enjoy the peace and security of home life and less interest in venturing out. There can be nice opportunities to bond with those closest to you. Meaningful conversations about or with family are likely.
From the 22nd, Venus transits your joy and pleasure sector, enhancing your attractiveness and boosting your sense of fun. You're expressing a playful, deserving, and confident energy that draws others in. It's good energy for awakening your inner artist and exploring fun interests and hobbies.

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.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
