Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
You're moving into your comfort zone and benefiting from some steadiness in your life this month, dear Leo. Even so, you're stepping out of it on mental levels. You stand to learn and pick up new information, and you may very well rediscover and renew a past interest. Money matters, valuables, comfort levels, and security are bigger interests and topics in September.
Intimacy, shared assets, support, or dependency can come into focus on the 1-2 when a Full Moon encourages you to get in touch with your true feelings about a relationship or a situation. You may need to straighten out matters of support, ownership, or debt. An intimate or financial affair may come to full bloom, setting you on a new, fresh path. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about a dependency that requires changes. Tensions in relationships can fuel your desire to improve and grow. There can also be some inner frustration or angst experienced now that can be hard to ignore.
From the 6th forward, Venus transits your sign, highlighting your natural charm. This transit is terrific for personal appeal and magnetism. Others notice your most gracious qualities. It can be an indulgent time when you more frequently pamper yourself. You might discover new ways of having fun or opportunities to express yourself. This influence aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life. September is a decent month for attracting the right resources to you.
This Venus transit can help smooth things over--and you'll need it with Mars turning retrograde in your sector of self-expression and spirit on the 9th. Be more cautious than usual en route since you tend to rush things. Verbal conflicts are possible now, but some mindful clearing of the air may be just what you need.
Mercury moves through your solar third house from the 5-27, and the Sun does so from the 22nd forward, piquing your curiosity. These transits encourage you to connect, share, and exchange ideas. Your communications often go over well, and others take more interest in what you have to say.
With Mars retrograde from September 9th to November 13th, it's appropriate to slow down, back up, and review. Enthusiasm for specific areas of life could change, particularly related to publishing, law, education, and belief systems. Your outlook and lust for life are evolving. You might turn to past projects for inspiration, or there can be things that catch up with you, prompting a review, return to a previous condition, or the need to tie up loose ends. There can be treasures in old projects and connections, and the trick is to approach them in new ways.
Both Jupiter and Saturn end their retrogrades, turning direct on the 12th and 29th. Your enthusiasm and motivation build for your work and health pursuits, and a delayed project might now unblock. The motivation to get back on track increases for self-improvement, lifestyle changes, and better routines. Work matters pick up speed. You might get back on track with a diet or fitness plan and work projects. Your approach to meeting and facing these responsibilities is more direct.
The motivation to work and produce takes hold, and money, business, work, and health methods are in generally good favor this month. There seems to be a reason for renewed hope or optimism about finances or work. You may very well discover activities and projects that make fuller use of your talents and skills.
The New Moon on the 17th is powerful for new beginnings related to your finances, income, personal resources, valuables, and self-worth. Matters of comfort, security, usefulness, respect, and stability are subject to new approaches and fresh energy. Some discouragement or letdown with others or shared resources can be part of the fuel that drives a new start.
Taking personal offense at intellectual disagreements can be an issue this month. You may later regret hasty actions or words, especially if they come from a feeling of being overburdened and under-appreciated. You can be battling restlessness at times. There could be a lot of (unnecessary) pressure on you to make a decision and frustrating issues surrounding transportation and mobility.
Positively, you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the problems. While there can be increased frustrations, likely technically-based, there are many positive happenings that inspire and motivate you. Business connected with art, music, and other creative ventures can prosper.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
September 2020 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 21st:
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 22nd 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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 5th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From September 6th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
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 6-26:
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 27th 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
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of faith, wisdom, perspective, personal philosophy, higher education, travel, and adventure in general because Mars rules your solar ninth house. You could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be a little more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith.
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.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
September 2020 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value.
This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank.
Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good.
This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 11th:
The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.
You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors.

It can be an indulgent time when you more frequently pamper yourself. You might discover new ways of having fun or opportunities to express yourself. This influence aids efforts to enjoy yourself, pursue your wishes, and "make nice" with people in your life. September is a decent month for attracting the right resources to you.
This Venus transit can help smooth things over--and you'll need it with Mars turning retrograde in your sector of self-expression and spirit on the 9th. Be more cautious than usual en route since you tend to rush things. Verbal conflicts are possible now, but some mindful clearing of the air may be just what you need.
Mercury moves through your solar third house from the 5-27, and the Sun does so from the 22nd forward, piquing your curiosity. These transits encourage you to connect, share, and exchange ideas. Your communications often go over well, and others take more interest in what you have to say.
With Mars retrograde from September 9th to November 13th, it's appropriate to slow down, back up, and review. Enthusiasm for specific areas of life could change, particularly related to publishing, law, education, and belief systems. Your outlook and lust for life are evolving. You might turn to past projects for inspiration, or there can be things that catch up with you, prompting a review, return to a previous condition, or the need to tie up loose ends. There can be treasures in old projects and connections, and the trick is to approach them in new ways.
Both Jupiter and Saturn end their retrogrades, turning direct on the 12th and 29th. Your enthusiasm and motivation build for your work and health pursuits, and a delayed project might now unblock. The motivation to get back on track increases for self-improvement, lifestyle changes, and better routines. Work matters pick up speed. You might get back on track with a diet or fitness plan and work projects. Your approach to meeting and facing these responsibilities is more direct.
The motivation to work and produce takes hold, and money, business, work, and health methods are in generally good favor this month. There seems to be a reason for renewed hope or optimism about finances or work. You may very well discover activities and projects that make fuller use of your talents and skills.
The New Moon on the 17th is powerful for new beginnings related to your finances, income, personal resources, valuables, and self-worth. Matters of comfort, security, usefulness, respect, and stability are subject to new approaches and fresh energy. Some discouragement or letdown with others or shared resources can be part of the fuel that drives a new start.
Taking personal offense at intellectual disagreements can be an issue this month. You may later regret hasty actions or words, especially if they come from a feeling of being overburdened and under-appreciated. You can be battling restlessness at times. There could be a lot of (unnecessary) pressure on you to make a decision and frustrating issues surrounding transportation and mobility.
Positively, you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the problems. While there can be increased frustrations, likely technically-based, there are many positive happenings that inspire and motivate you. Business connected with art, music, and other creative ventures can prosper.

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 decanate regardless of your birthdate.
