Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
September 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
September brings an interesting mix of energies to your life, dear Libra. Sometimes you feel very much in the driver's seat, and other times you're not sure who's in charge! Especially as the month progresses, you come into your own.
You host all of the personal planets (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) in your sign at various points this month, and this increases your independence and power, but at times you could feel a little alone with your decisions.
Venus begins the month in your sign, and Mercury is in Libra as well, for an extended stay. With Venus in your sign until the 10th, your finer and more appealing qualities are in emphasis. There is a major focus on your personality this month, even though it's vital that you get some extra rest or make time for reflection and personal space in the first three weeks. In September, exploring your inner world is crucial as you gather your energy and center yourself for busier times to come.
Some important influences are urging you to rest, recoup, and relax this month. The New Moon on the 6th is one such reminder – you may need to take care of loose ends now. Working behind the scenes benefits you. The rest and privacy you need are yours, although there may be plenty of stimulating dramas playing out around you.
When Venus in your sign harmonizes with Jupiter on the 5-6, people see you in a most favorable light. You're likely to stumble upon opportunities for cooperation and shared happiness. Creative or romantic matters can thrive. Rediscovering a passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus.
From the 10th, financial matters improve. Money or business ideas can be golden, as you're sensing what others need and want. Money could come through unusual or hidden sources. Putting more creativity or heart into what you're doing can be rewarding.
From the 14th, Mars is in your sign, bringing more positive energy, particularly from close relationships, as well as increased charisma, courage, energy, and confidence to pursue your goals. You may not be entirely clear about which direction to head until after the Sun enters your sign on the 22nd. However, it's a real blast of energy and motivation. Your desire for independence comes full-on.
Mercury in your sign all month ensures you’re busy and engaged, although sometimes a little too "on" for your own good. Take opportunities to clear your head from time to time. The retrograde period starting on the 27th may help with just that — it’s a time to catch up.
This is one of your more communicative phases of the year. It’s a time when you’re not only reaching out more often, but you’re also communicating with more impact. You might prefer to take the lead with mental or intellectual tasks and make executive decisions.
The Full Moon on the 20th can bring strong awareness of a work or health matter, and the days following it may involve some sorting and adjustments based on new information coming to light.
The Sun in your sign gives you more power and courage from the 22nd forward. With Mars in Libra in harmony with Saturn on the 25th, be willing to start small and work yourself up to the big stuff. This patience will reward you. Meeting your responsibilities and building something valuable can be satisfying.
Similarly, when the Sun in your sign harmonizes with Saturn on the 29th, thinking more about long-term security than immediate needs can help you develop excellent plans and strategies. Your ability to concentrate is strengthening. Simple activities like decluttering or regular exercise can help you see more clearly, and a little self-discipline goes a long way. You're also a little more humble to the lessons of life now, giving you more maturity and better judgment for handling problems or taking control of critical areas of your life.
Mercury begins its retrograde in your sign on the 27th, prompting a few weeks of reevaluating recent projects. Perhaps the greatest challenge is gaining others' understanding. People may not be "getting" your ideas temporarily, or you could be waiting on more information. This retrograde, lasting until October 18th, does suggest some withdrawal and introspection. However, this can work in your favor as you seem just out of reach and all the more intriguing. At the same time, you’re taking some time to feel things out, which can help you make better decisions.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
September 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From September 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 10th:
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 10th 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
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from September 27th to October 18th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 14th:
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 15th 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.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
September 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 19th:
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 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 September 6th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From September 6th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.

Libra (Born October 14 to 23) and Libra Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Libra:
September 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From September 12th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
From September 2-28:
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.
From September 29th 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 time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
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 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
September brings an interesting mix of energies to your life, dear Libra. Sometimes you feel very much in the driver's seat, and other times you're not sure who's in charge! Especially as the month progresses, you come into your own.
You host all of the personal planets (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) in your sign at various points this month, and this increases your independence and power, but at times you could feel a little alone with your decisions.
Venus begins the month in your sign, and Mercury is in Libra as well, for an extended stay. With Venus in your sign until the 10th, your finer and more appealing qualities are in emphasis. There is a major focus on your personality this month, even though it's vital that you get some extra rest or make time for reflection and personal space in the first three weeks. In September, exploring your inner world is crucial as you gather your energy and center yourself for busier times to come.
Some important influences are urging you to rest, recoup, and relax this month. The New Moon on the 6th is one such reminder – you may need to take care of loose ends now. Working behind the scenes benefits you. The rest and privacy you need are yours, although there may be plenty of stimulating dramas playing out around you.
When Venus in your sign harmonizes with Jupiter on the 5-6, people see you in a most favorable light. You're likely to stumble upon opportunities for cooperation and shared happiness. Creative or romantic matters can thrive. Rediscovering a passion, interest, hobby, or love may be in focus.
From the 10th, financial matters improve. Money or business ideas can be golden, as you're sensing what others need and want. Money could come through unusual or hidden sources. Putting more creativity or heart into what you're doing can be rewarding.
From the 14th, Mars is in your sign, bringing more positive energy, particularly from close relationships, as well as increased charisma, courage, energy, and confidence to pursue your goals. You may not be entirely clear about which direction to head until after the Sun enters your sign on the 22nd. However, it's a real blast of energy and motivation. Your desire for independence comes full-on.
Mercury in your sign all month ensures you’re busy and engaged, although sometimes a little too "on" for your own good. Take opportunities to clear your head from time to time. The retrograde period starting on the 27th may help with just that — it’s a time to catch up.
This is one of your more communicative phases of the year. It’s a time when you’re not only reaching out more often, but you’re also communicating with more impact. You might prefer to take the lead with mental or intellectual tasks and make executive decisions.
The Full Moon on the 20th can bring strong awareness of a work or health matter, and the days following it may involve some sorting and adjustments based on new information coming to light.
The Sun in your sign gives you more power and courage from the 22nd forward. With Mars in Libra in harmony with Saturn on the 25th, be willing to start small and work yourself up to the big stuff. This patience will reward you. Meeting your responsibilities and building something valuable can be satisfying.
Similarly, when the Sun in your sign harmonizes with Saturn on the 29th, thinking more about long-term security than immediate needs can help you develop excellent plans and strategies. Your ability to concentrate is strengthening. Simple activities like decluttering or regular exercise can help you see more clearly, and a little self-discipline goes a long way. You're also a little more humble to the lessons of life now, giving you more maturity and better judgment for handling problems or taking control of critical areas of your life.
Mercury begins its retrograde in your sign on the 27th, prompting a few weeks of reevaluating recent projects. Perhaps the greatest challenge is gaining others' understanding. People may not be "getting" your ideas temporarily, or you could be waiting on more information. This retrograde, lasting until October 18th, does suggest some withdrawal and introspection. However, this can work in your favor as you seem just out of reach and all the more intriguing. At the same time, you’re taking some time to feel things out, which can help you make better decisions.

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.
