Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)
September 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
Relationships, especially partnerships, are in strong focus this month, dear Pisces, and you get the chance to start fresh. A New Moon occurs in your solar seventh house on the 14th, just a day after Mercury ends its retrograde in the same sector, prompting you to consider relationship lacks and needs. A significant person in your life can be in the spotlight now.
September also brings more animation to your private life and a special focus on absorbing activities and projects. In fact, you can be quite preoccupied with your needs for change, evolution, and self-mastery.
Work and daily routines are smoothing out and becoming more enjoyable. After the first week of the month, you’re in perfect shape for sorting out your duties, organizing your personal and workspace, and researching your options. You’re in a great light on the job or with activities related to your daily routines and health pursuits, leading to social or romantic opportunities or simply more pleasure in your everyday life.
You’re certainly more invested than usual in the success of your relationships this month. Transits put the spotlight on negotiations and diplomacy. Fortunately, Venus ends its retrograde on the 3rd, and relating comes more easily than it did in recent weeks. Confidence in yourself and your work builds as the month advances.
Still, until the 15th, Mercury is retrograde in your partnership sector, and you tend to sort out feelings and frustrations about a person or relationship, after which matters slowly but surely straighten out. As well, Jupiter, currently blessing your communications sector, turns retrograde this month. Benefits are substantial with learning and connecting, but you’ll overload yourself if you do too much. Now is a good time to see what needs your attention most.
The New Moon on the 14th highlights a stronger urge to merge than usual. There can be opportunities to start fresh in a relationship, whether it's about taking on a new attitude or gathering the courage to make something happen. A partnership can form or improve.
Mars spends the month in your intimacy sector, and the Sun heads into this same area of your solar chart on the 23rd. Your intimate life and inner world are animated! You're not shying away from dealing with imbalances of power or from tricky, taboo topics this month, and you’re ready to take charge in your intimate life. You're also looking to specialize. It’s a good time to bond with someone special or pour extra energy into a passion project.
Mars doesn’t appreciate facades, slow processes, or ignoring problems–-wherever Mars goes, there can be some trailblazing and perhaps rude awakenings, but also valuable truths and resolutions to challenges. Ownership, debts, support, or power dynamics problems might come to a head, and you’re taking charge and in the lead. You could be digging up interesting information now, and research can be very beneficial.
A revelation about financial matters emerges around the Full Moon on the 29th. This influence can also be about your ability to fend for yourself or support yourself. You’re clearer about what you want and of your value.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
September 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From September 23rd forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Venus is retrograde only until September 3rd:
Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well.
Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined.
It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle.
However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you.
The desire for warm relations on the job is strong, but the path to satisfaction hard to find. Schedule major beautification processes around this cycle if possible. There can be focus on healing and processing when it comes to health.
This retrograde cycle also affects the Venus-ruled sectors of your solar chart, which are your communications and intimacy sectors. You may be feeling unsupported emotionally and financially, and you may feel a little withdrawn when it comes to daily communications and light chit-chat.
From the 3rd forward, these matters straighten out and advance:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde until September 15th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Information unclogs after the 15th.
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
September 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 11th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 12th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
September 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 12th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From September 13th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other.

Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships.

This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.
This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your fifth house of romance, pleasure, speculation, and children. Because the cycle directly affects your sector of romance and speculation, you should be especially wary of jumping into arguments with a lover and taking risks with gambling.
You may feel you are on shaky ground in the romance department. You don't need to share all your feelings with a lover right now, and you shouldn't jump to conclusions if your lover needs a little space either. It can be hard to derive satisfaction from your romantic and creative activities for the time being. An old lover may resurface in your life, complicating matters.
This retrograde cycle also affects the Venus-ruled sectors of your solar chart, which are your communications and intimacy sectors. You may be feeling unsupported emotionally and financially, and you may feel a little withdrawn when it comes to daily communications and light chit-chat.
After September 3rd, these areas of life improve, smooth over, and advance.
From the 26th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury continues its retrograde until September 15th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar sixth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
After the 15th, information unclogs.
From September 29th forward:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 26th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger.

You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now.

From the 27th:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
Relationships, especially partnerships, are in strong focus this month, dear Pisces, and you get the chance to start fresh. A New Moon occurs in your solar seventh house on the 14th, just a day after Mercury ends its retrograde in the same sector, prompting you to consider relationship lacks and needs. A significant person in your life can be in the spotlight now.
September also brings more animation to your private life and a special focus on absorbing activities and projects. In fact, you can be quite preoccupied with your needs for change, evolution, and self-mastery.
Work and daily routines are smoothing out and becoming more enjoyable. After the first week of the month, you’re in perfect shape for sorting out your duties, organizing your personal and workspace, and researching your options. You’re in a great light on the job or with activities related to your daily routines and health pursuits, leading to social or romantic opportunities or simply more pleasure in your everyday life.
You’re certainly more invested than usual in the success of your relationships this month. Transits put the spotlight on negotiations and diplomacy. Fortunately, Venus ends its retrograde on the 3rd, and relating comes more easily than it did in recent weeks. Confidence in yourself and your work builds as the month advances.
Still, until the 15th, Mercury is retrograde in your partnership sector, and you tend to sort out feelings and frustrations about a person or relationship, after which matters slowly but surely straighten out. As well, Jupiter, currently blessing your communications sector, turns retrograde this month. Benefits are substantial with learning and connecting, but you’ll overload yourself if you do too much. Now is a good time to see what needs your attention most.
The New Moon on the 14th highlights a stronger urge to merge than usual. There can be opportunities to start fresh in a relationship, whether it's about taking on a new attitude or gathering the courage to make something happen. A partnership can form or improve.
Mars spends the month in your intimacy sector, and the Sun heads into this same area of your solar chart on the 23rd. Your intimate life and inner world are animated! You're not shying away from dealing with imbalances of power or from tricky, taboo topics this month, and you’re ready to take charge in your intimate life. You're also looking to specialize. It’s a good time to bond with someone special or pour extra energy into a passion project.
Mars doesn’t appreciate facades, slow processes, or ignoring problems–-wherever Mars goes, there can be some trailblazing and perhaps rude awakenings, but also valuable truths and resolutions to challenges. Ownership, debts, support, or power dynamics problems might come to a head, and you’re taking charge and in the lead. You could be digging up interesting information now, and research can be very beneficial.
A revelation about financial matters emerges around the Full Moon on the 29th. This influence can also be about your ability to fend for yourself or support yourself. You’re clearer about what you want and of your value.

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 a 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 reveal 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.
