Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
September 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
September brings continued focus on your money, valuables, resources, assets, and talents, dear Leo, but learning and communications are becoming increasingly important.
There is a beautiful, practical focus for you this month, and you can get your life into order in fundamental ways. The New Moon on the 6th occurs in your resources sector, motivating you to take charge of your financial affairs. It's about starting fresh with money or business or taking your comfort and security more seriously. New beginnings may sprout from a minor letdown or disappointment, but it can be exciting to approach these life departments in new and improved ways.
Mercury spends the month in your communications sector, and Venus is there until the 10th. Moving into this area of your solar chart are Mars on the 14th and the Sun on the 22nd. These ingresses sharpen your thinking and communications. You are likely to be quite busy coming up with new ideas and learning various new things.
While a retrograde Mercury from the 27th may lead to some misunderstandings, you're nevertheless expressing yourself with remarkable flair. If you focus on slowing yourself down, this can be an advantageous period. You might discover different ways to connect, whether this is about communicating or commuting, perhaps because current ones are not working well. You might rediscover old interests or revisit past studies with success.
It's an excellent time to exchange ideas, learn new things, and connect with others. You might hear something of great use to you, boosting your understanding. You want to expand and grow a project, personal writings, or a connection. It's a great time to spend time with someone you love or for mingling and gathering information. Subject to improvements are things that connect you to information and people, such as new or improved cars, bikes, phones, computers and devices, and education. There is more passion and excitement in learning now.
Mars moving into your communications sector on the 14th can stimulate your desire to learn and explore. It can also be impatient, and while this can be a busy time for communicating, connecting, and commuting, do watch for impatience as you make your way around and express yourself. You're inclined to pour tremendous energy into your interests, projects, and studies, and you're more ambitious and determined. It's a wonderful time to push yourself a little, as long as you respect your need for rest and healthy living.
September's influences are also notable for bringing more harmony and warmth to your home life, despite its busyness. From the 10th forward, Venus transits your sector of heart, home, and family.
The Full Moon on the 20th could bring a scurry of activity surrounding a money matter or epiphanies about a close relationship. Revelations can occur about issues of support, dependency, or attachment. You are determined to pursue your desires and act on your dreams. Pay close attention to what surfaces now, whether this is new information or new emotions (or both), but wait until you've gained some perspective before jumping to conclusions.
The Sun cycle, beginning on the 22nd, is more about discovery and branching out than specializing. Once Mercury turns retrograde on the 27th, you may need to revise or revamp a current project before you move forward. Be especially vigilant with applications, interviews, and schooling. Pay special attention to communications and transportation equipment and devices.
A Sun-Saturn harmonious aspect can help ground you in the last days of the month, encouraging you to simplify your life, particularly on personal levels. You appreciate steadiness and reliability. Even with Mercury retrograde, seeing something in realistic terms helps you prepare well.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
September 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
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 10th:
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 10th 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
All month:
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.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 14th:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
From September 15th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar third house during this period. You are likely to have many ideas and plans going during this transit, and you might be inclined to scatter your energies as a result.
Channelled well, however, this is a good time to sell your ideas to others, or to present your case in some manner. You may be especially busy running errands and communicating with others now.
More articulate than usual, you may also have a more assertive, self-centered, or provocative communication style at this time. As such, discussions might more readily become heated or they might escalate into arguments. If this is the case, it's likely because you are taking things very personally right now, or because you are over-identifying with your beliefs and ideas.
A tendency to be impatient or impulsive while driving or while performing manual tasks, generally with the hands, may lead to accidents, so it's wise to be careful on the road or while operating machinery or even using scissors! This is an excellent time for working on intellectual tasks with more vigor and passion.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
September 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 19th:
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.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until September 6th:
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 6th 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.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
September 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
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. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.
From September 12th forward:
The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues.

Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
September brings continued focus on your money, valuables, resources, assets, and talents, dear Leo, but learning and communications are becoming increasingly important.
There is a beautiful, practical focus for you this month, and you can get your life into order in fundamental ways. The New Moon on the 6th occurs in your resources sector, motivating you to take charge of your financial affairs. It's about starting fresh with money or business or taking your comfort and security more seriously. New beginnings may sprout from a minor letdown or disappointment, but it can be exciting to approach these life departments in new and improved ways.
Mercury spends the month in your communications sector, and Venus is there until the 10th. Moving into this area of your solar chart are Mars on the 14th and the Sun on the 22nd. These ingresses sharpen your thinking and communications. You are likely to be quite busy coming up with new ideas and learning various new things.
While a retrograde Mercury from the 27th may lead to some misunderstandings, you're nevertheless expressing yourself with remarkable flair. If you focus on slowing yourself down, this can be an advantageous period. You might discover different ways to connect, whether this is about communicating or commuting, perhaps because current ones are not working well. You might rediscover old interests or revisit past studies with success.
It's an excellent time to exchange ideas, learn new things, and connect with others. You might hear something of great use to you, boosting your understanding. You want to expand and grow a project, personal writings, or a connection. It's a great time to spend time with someone you love or for mingling and gathering information. Subject to improvements are things that connect you to information and people, such as new or improved cars, bikes, phones, computers and devices, and education. There is more passion and excitement in learning now.
Mars moving into your communications sector on the 14th can stimulate your desire to learn and explore. It can also be impatient, and while this can be a busy time for communicating, connecting, and commuting, do watch for impatience as you make your way around and express yourself. You're inclined to pour tremendous energy into your interests, projects, and studies, and you're more ambitious and determined. It's a wonderful time to push yourself a little, as long as you respect your need for rest and healthy living.
September's influences are also notable for bringing more harmony and warmth to your home life, despite its busyness. From the 10th forward, Venus transits your sector of heart, home, and family.
The Full Moon on the 20th could bring a scurry of activity surrounding a money matter or epiphanies about a close relationship. Revelations can occur about issues of support, dependency, or attachment. You are determined to pursue your desires and act on your dreams. Pay close attention to what surfaces now, whether this is new information or new emotions (or both), but wait until you've gained some perspective before jumping to conclusions.
The Sun cycle, beginning on the 22nd, is more about discovery and branching out than specializing. Once Mercury turns retrograde on the 27th, you may need to revise or revamp a current project before you move forward. Be especially vigilant with applications, interviews, and schooling. Pay special attention to communications and transportation equipment and devices.
A Sun-Saturn harmonious aspect can help ground you in the last days of the month, encouraging you to simplify your life, particularly on personal levels. You appreciate steadiness and reliability. Even with Mercury retrograde, seeing something in realistic terms helps you prepare well.

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.
For easier reading, the horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. However, for those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
