Overview for this Month: Capricorn (All)
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn:
You seek the freedom to explore and discover this month, dear Capricorn, with continuing transits to your solar ninth house. It's time for a change of routine, moving just a little outside your usual comfort zones, and feeding your mind and spirit.
However, Mercury's transit of your career and reputation sector from the 5-27 suggests building ambitions. As well, Venus moves into your intimacy sector from the 6th forward, and with matters of the heart and personal pleasures, you're taking things more seriously. It can be a time of greater attachment, whether to a person, a memory of a relationship, or a project you love. You might negotiate a deal or loan, or you could be navigating tricky matters of sharing and power dynamics in a relationship with more success.
But first, the Full Moon early on the 2nd opens your eyes to matters surrounding your outlook, mental interests, incoming news, studies, and communications or transportation. It's certainly a time to connect and stay in tune with others and the news. Writing and sharing can be gratifying. You have a lot to juggle, and tensions in close relationships can surface in the first few days of September. Disagreements can be more frequent or notable. Values, goals, or ambitions seem to clash, serving up some frustration—ideally, fueling improvements and course corrections.
Mars turns retrograde on the 9th and will remain retrograde until November 13th. For you, the slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are most likely to relate to your personal life, including home and family matters. Loved ones may not be as patient with you, or you with them. There could be some stalled projects or delays, but you have plenty of time to sort things out. It's best to recognize that misjudgments of energy levels and physical capabilities are more prominent during retrograde Mars cycles. This way, you don't push yourself unnecessarily. In a general sense, aim to rest, replenish, and observe before taking action.
On the other hand, two planets turn direct in September after months of retrograde motion, both in Capricorn. You'll likely notice a pleasant shift in your mood or outlook as a result. On the 12th, Jupiter ends its retrograde, and you feel more confident in your own power to make positive changes in your life. You're more comfortable with yourself, and your popularity with others increases. Personal plans gain clarity, and you do far less second-guessing.
On the 29th, Saturn turns direct, and your comfort with facing reality ad taking care of your responsibilities improves, leading to better decisions. This can be a time when specific health pursuits resume or begin.
Plenty of transits this month can serve to highlight your better qualities. People often see you in a favorable light. It's a good time to get noticed in all the right ways. Your enthusiasm builds for promising prospects. There can be moments when a temporary lack of direction or inspiration can leave you especially sensitive to distractions. It's best not to commit or speak ahead of yourself while under these conditions.
You're in deeper touch with your emotional attachments and inner passions. Working through problems with the sharing of money or duties can be helpful. You're in generally good shape for making lasting changes that refresh your life and that go deep, such as getting rid of bad habits, situations, and attitudes.
The New Moon on the 17th highlights and reinforces the need for a fresh perspective or invigorating extra-curricular activities. New beginnings along these lines can help broaden your horizons. With Mars retrograde, it can be tricky to find suitable and satisfying pursuits, so you'll need to be creative as you seek options and outlets.
The Sun heads to the top of your solar chart on the 22nd, bringing you to your yearly performance peak. You're more ambitious, visible, and accountable during this month-long transit. Tense connections between Mercury, retrograde Mars, and Saturn complicate things in the last week of the month. Balancing your personal and professional lives can be tricky these days, and you might often feel like escaping difficult atmospheres on the home front or with family. Tensions can swiftly lead to disagreements. Watch how you express yourself if you're feeling stressed, as transits occurring now can lead to rash commentary or actions. However, it's not the time to sweep things under the rug. Confronting problem areas mindfully can eventually lead to significant improvements.
Focusing on personal matters, healing energies, and positive reinforcement can be magical in spots. You might discover creative channels or ways to give voice to some of your inner longings. While under some strain, circumstances move you to get things done around the home. Financial intelligence heightens.

Capricorn (Born December 22 to December 31) and Capricorn Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Capricorn:
September 2020 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 21st:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.
It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From September 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 5th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From September 6th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.
From September 6-26:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
From September 27th forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of the home, family, security, and domestic activities because Mars rules these areas in your solar chart. This can play out in a variety of ways. For example, household projects may slow down or stall. You might be feeling more defensive during this period, or you might get worked up about old waves of anger or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now. It's a good time for examining how you have been expressing anger or asserting yourself with your family.
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.

Capricorn (Born January 1 to 10) and Capricorn Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Capricorn:
September 2020 Capricorn Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 14th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul.

You're in generally good shape for making lasting changes that refresh your life and that go deep, such as getting rid of bad habits, situations, and attitudes.
The New Moon on the 17th highlights and reinforces the need for a fresh perspective or invigorating extra-curricular activities. New beginnings along these lines can help broaden your horizons. With Mars retrograde, it can be tricky to find suitable and satisfying pursuits, so you'll need to be creative as you seek options and outlets.
The Sun heads to the top of your solar chart on the 22nd, bringing you to your yearly performance peak. You're more ambitious, visible, and accountable during this month-long transit. Tense connections between Mercury, retrograde Mars, and Saturn complicate things in the last week of the month. Balancing your personal and professional lives can be tricky these days, and you might often feel like escaping difficult atmospheres on the home front or with family. Tensions can swiftly lead to disagreements. Watch how you express yourself if you're feeling stressed, as transits occurring now can lead to rash commentary or actions. However, it's not the time to sweep things under the rug. Confronting problem areas mindfully can eventually lead to significant improvements.
Focusing on personal matters, healing energies, and positive reinforcement can be magical in spots. You might discover creative channels or ways to give voice to some of your inner longings. While under some strain, circumstances move you to get things done around the home. Financial intelligence heightens.

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 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. 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 decan regardless of your birthdate.
