Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
September 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
With an emphasis on your privacy sector in September, dear Libra, it's a time when rest and reflection suit you. It can be a period of gathering your energies and closing projects. Even so, others notice you and want your input or companionship, and your worldly ambitions are activating. As such, while you can be somewhat retiring, you're in demand. You're ready to share yourself more fully later in September. Until then, you're doing prep work and reassessing primary goals or work. It can benefit you to pay unresolved matters their due attention!
While it may not be the most opportune time to launch new ventures, September presents an excellent period for developing new plans and strategies. You might find yourself taking an unofficial sabbatical of sorts when it comes to major decisions. This is a time of preparation, a period where you're not yet blossoming in an apparent sense, but you're laying the groundwork for future growth. By the second week of September, your energy for furthering professional and worldly ambitions is vital, and you could be especially interested in accomplishing practical goals.
Uranus turns retrograde on the first day of September, and for about five months, you benefit from examining your dependencies and attachments. Do they help or hinder you? If financial or support matters have been all over the place, disorganized, or unreliable, now's your chance to figure out why and what to do about it. This transit subtly alters your approach to bringing on change, upgrades, and progress in your intimate life and with finances and debts.
At the same time, Pluto moves back into your home and family sector for the final leg of its long-term transit, pointing to further renovating to do in your personal life and domestic world before moving on. Pluto will remain in this area of your solar chart until November 19th, after which it leaves permanently! This last journey can be iconic--you're putting resentments behind you and sorting out what you've excavated on a soul level. You could be especially interested in freeing yourself from negative early conditioning and patterns with loved ones. Moving on from frustrating living arrangements or conditions is also possible.
The New Moon on the 2nd can push you on a new path of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Circumstances prompt much-needed downtime and introspection. In the coming days, you can be particularly motivated to improve or pay special attention to your private life, mental health, and spiritual life. Getting comfortable with your inner needs and desires should come first for the best results, and understanding recent events is part of this. Aim to weed out problematic thinking or attitudes that do not favor you. Think of this New Moon as a gentle push to put the past behind you with plans, actions, or even symbolic actions. You're tying up loose ends or dealing with secrets, private matters, and karma.
This New Moon essentially reinforces your ability to put the past behind you. The need for a fresh approach to taking downtime or to your spiritual side overcomes you now.
You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor this month, or you could benefit from assistance from someone. Don't ignore your need for some personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one that begins around your birthday.
Venus is in your sign until the 22nd, bringing out your natural charm for all to see. This transit can also prompt the desire to pamper yourself. People appreciate you as you radiate self-love.
It's important to watch for an overloaded schedule that can trigger frustrations. Pushing yourself beyond your limits can lead to various problems or health complaints, so do your best to learn what those limits are.
On the 17th, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is the first signal that eclipses are transitioning out of your sign axis. This one begins a new set that can certainly pull up some discontent and dissatisfaction, but it’s also good for motivating you to make improvements. Work, health, and routines or habits are now in focus. There can be a bit of a scramble to get your life into better working order, and the benefits of doing so are significant.
In truth, you’ll be doing a lot of balancing of work/rest and emotional health and physical health in the next couple of years, and realizations occurring now can spur this process along.
With all Full Moons, seek out balance and compromise, and for this one, give special consideration to what’s healthy for you, both mentally and physically. Consider, too, that some things are downplayed or hidden in order to magnify another part of your life, and it's better to observe and take in before making impactful decisions. While this exaggeration serves a purpose, know that it's hard to be objective around an eclipse.
The Sun and Mercury move into your sign on the 22nd and 26th, respectively. These moves boost your sense of personal power and increase your influence and presence. They also bring out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. Of course, you always count regardless of attention from others, but now you are getting outside reinforcement as well. Use this extra boost of visibility to further your plans.
Venus graces your resources sector from the 22nd onward, which is good news for improving your comfort levels. You might receive gifts or treat yourself a little more often during this somewhat indulgent cycle. At the same time, you can find more joy in the things you already have in place, and it can be pretty magical.
In the last week of the month, your natural talents can be in significant demand. Do watch for falling back on old habits that keep you stuck in the past. Otherwise, it's a fine time for considering new personal initiatives, making changes to your presentation or appearance, and updating your year-ahead resolutions.

Libra (Born September 24 to October 3) and Libra Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Libra:
September 2024 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2024
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.
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 sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are 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. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 22nd:
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 23rd 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
Until the 8th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From September 9th to 26th:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
From September 26th 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.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From September 4th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

Libra (Born October 4 to 13) and Libra Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Libra:
September 2024 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2024
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.
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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 6th:
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 15th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

September 2024
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.
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.
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 sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are 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. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 14th:
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 15th 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 20th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From September 20th forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
With an emphasis on your privacy sector in September, dear Libra, it's a time when rest and reflection suit you. It can be a period of gathering your energies and closing projects. Even so, others notice you and want your input or companionship, and your worldly ambitions are activating. As such, while you can be somewhat retiring, you're in demand. You're ready to share yourself more fully later in September. Until then, you're doing prep work and reassessing primary goals or work. It can benefit you to pay unresolved matters their due attention!
While it may not be the most opportune time to launch new ventures, September presents an excellent period for developing new plans and strategies. You might find yourself taking an unofficial sabbatical of sorts when it comes to major decisions. This is a time of preparation, a period where you're not yet blossoming in an apparent sense, but you're laying the groundwork for future growth. By the second week of September, your energy for furthering professional and worldly ambitions is vital, and you could be especially interested in accomplishing practical goals.
Uranus turns retrograde on the first day of September, and for about five months, you benefit from examining your dependencies and attachments. Do they help or hinder you? If financial or support matters have been all over the place, disorganized, or unreliable, now's your chance to figure out why and what to do about it. This transit subtly alters your approach to bringing on change, upgrades, and progress in your intimate life and with finances and debts.
At the same time, Pluto moves back into your home and family sector for the final leg of its long-term transit, pointing to further renovating to do in your personal life and domestic world before moving on. Pluto will remain in this area of your solar chart until November 19th, after which it leaves permanently! This last journey can be iconic--you're putting resentments behind you and sorting out what you've excavated on a soul level. You could be especially interested in freeing yourself from negative early conditioning and patterns with loved ones. Moving on from frustrating living arrangements or conditions is also possible.
The New Moon on the 2nd can push you on a new path of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Circumstances prompt much-needed downtime and introspection. In the coming days, you can be particularly motivated to improve or pay special attention to your private life, mental health, and spiritual life. Getting comfortable with your inner needs and desires should come first for the best results, and understanding recent events is part of this. Aim to weed out problematic thinking or attitudes that do not favor you. Think of this New Moon as a gentle push to put the past behind you with plans, actions, or even symbolic actions. You're tying up loose ends or dealing with secrets, private matters, and karma.
This New Moon essentially reinforces your ability to put the past behind you. The need for a fresh approach to taking downtime or to your spiritual side overcomes you now.
You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor this month, or you could benefit from assistance from someone. Don't ignore your need for some personal downtime as you wind down your solar year and prepare for the next one that begins around your birthday.
Venus is in your sign until the 22nd, bringing out your natural charm for all to see. This transit can also prompt the desire to pamper yourself. People appreciate you as you radiate self-love.
It's important to watch for an overloaded schedule that can trigger frustrations. Pushing yourself beyond your limits can lead to various problems or health complaints, so do your best to learn what those limits are.
On the 17th, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is the first signal that eclipses are transitioning out of your sign axis. This one begins a new set that can certainly pull up some discontent and dissatisfaction, but it’s also good for motivating you to make improvements. Work, health, and routines or habits are now in focus. There can be a bit of a scramble to get your life into better working order, and the benefits of doing so are significant.
In truth, you’ll be doing a lot of balancing of work/rest and emotional health and physical health in the next couple of years, and realizations occurring now can spur this process along.
With all Full Moons, seek out balance and compromise, and for this one, give special consideration to what’s healthy for you, both mentally and physically. Consider, too, that some things are downplayed or hidden in order to magnify another part of your life, and it's better to observe and take in before making impactful decisions. While this exaggeration serves a purpose, know that it's hard to be objective around an eclipse.
The Sun and Mercury move into your sign on the 22nd and 26th, respectively. These moves boost your sense of personal power and increase your influence and presence. They also bring out the need to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. Of course, you always count regardless of attention from others, but now you are getting outside reinforcement as well. Use this extra boost of visibility to further your plans.
Venus graces your resources sector from the 22nd onward, which is good news for improving your comfort levels. You might receive gifts or treat yourself a little more often during this somewhat indulgent cycle. At the same time, you can find more joy in the things you already have in place, and it can be pretty magical.
In the last week of the month, your natural talents can be in significant demand. Do watch for falling back on old habits that keep you stuck in the past. Otherwise, it's a fine time for considering new personal initiatives, making changes to your presentation or appearance, and updating your year-ahead resolutions.

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.
