Overview for this Month: Scorpio (All)
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
September can be a month of personal transformation through projects, friendships, and connections, dear Scorpio. You're discovering people and projects you love. Promotional and networking or marketing efforts can be particularly fruitful. A slow but steady approach seems to work the best with Mars turning retrograde this month, perhaps redirecting you.
The focus on happiness goals and networking continues this month, but you'll find more time for rest and relaxation as September progresses. The Full Moon near the start of the month is about a romantic or creative matter coming to full bloom, setting you on a new, fresh path. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about a matter of the heart that requires changes, or you might awaken to your true feelings about a person or project. Tensions in certain relationships can spur you on.
In your adventure sector until the 6th, Venus inspires your interest in non-routine experiences and a more enlightened viewpoint. Mars, in your work sector until January, encourages you to get the job done. Both can work together if need be, but it can seem hard to integrate in the first few days of September. Consider ways to strike a compromise. People around you can be temperamental and competitive with this transit that tends to highlight differences in needs, desires, and approaches. Be protective of information or feelings that you typically want to keep quiet, as there is an impulsive tendency that could be cause for later regret. Even so, frictions can lead to new insights and a better understanding of yourself and others.
Still, energies are quite excellent for self-expression, social confidence, and improved personal outlook. A more introspective turn starts around the 5th when Mercury heads into your privacy sector for three weeks. On the 9th, Mars turns retrograde. Lasting until November 13th, this retrograde period can produce slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations in your work, health pursuits, daily routines, and habits. There can be weighty issues and delays to manage related to your job or health care, but plenty of chances to sort things out. Ultimately, you're learning about what truly works for you. Keep in mind that pushing yourself during this cycle will likely lead to frustrations and slowdowns, particularly in these areas of life.
It’s time to review whether you’re pursuing your desires and change your approach to getting what you want from your work, relationships, and self-care programs. Enthusiasm for your current job or health regimes could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling, but the adjustments you make now can be invaluable. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your daily affairs. Routines or work may feel a little lifeless until you figure out ways to spruce things up. Reorganizing and editing efforts can be very fruitful during this cycle.
Fortunately, you're in fine shape to enjoy your studies or a special interest. You can see the bigger picture, or a friend can help you see a new, more optimistic perspective. Others might reinforce or supplement your ideas in pleasant ways. Connecting, mingling, chatting, and networking can encourage you or bring opportunities into your life. Contributions from others tend to be useful or motivating.
While it's a generally good period for your dreams, hopes, and social life, certain unrealized dreams can haunt you a little around the 11th. You might experience some confusion in your relationships, desires, and attractions until you sort things out. You might benefit from taking a break to clear your head and perhaps seek new sources of inspiration.
Jupiter ends its retrograde cycle on the 12th and is now moving direct in your communications sector. Your confidence in studies or your ability to express yourself increases. More clarity is likely in your projects, communications, and personal interests. Positive word of mouth can benefit you tremendously. Your enthusiasm builds for learning and connecting. Conversations open up, and faith and optimism increase.
Business and practical sense both improve with a nice dose of intuition and confidence. Venus helps boost your reputation or career from the 6th forward. You could feel more valued by others, especially those you work with or in a position of authority around the 13-14, although later in September, you can be up and down on this level.
With the New Moon on the 17th, the focus is on your friendships, networks, social life, and happiness goals. New beginnings are on the horizon, and it’s a time when you’re optimistic while recognizing the need to go slowly. A reboot or makeover on a social level can be in order now.
From the 20th, you're likely to feel a little more ambitious about handling personal and health matters. Still, with the Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 22nd, you also require more time to unwind and regenerate your energy.
Technical problems or delays may be frustrating in spots in the last week of the month. You may be a little fearful of changes or tense about recent developments, which can reach a head. Or, tensions can stem from worries about things you haven't done. You could feel scattered, with too much to do, and at a loss as to where to begin.
You might also have a strong feeling that work and daily routines weigh you down when you'd much rather take part in more free-form activities. You might be feeling undervalued for the "unseen" things that you do. While buried frustrations could emerge messily, it's one way of getting something out on the table. Challenges in your work or daily affairs are ongoing now, but you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the issues. A topic of interest or study can excite you now, and others' contributions tend to be useful or motivating. These things could make looming deadlines, health concerns, or scheduling issues a little easier to manage.
It can be a wildly creative time for your work or practical goals, too, and your appeal remains quite strong regardless. Saturn's direct turn on the 29th is another indicator that projects are beginning to move ahead. More structure to your communications, studies, and connections to others can benefit you greatly. Procrastination is costly, and as you meet your goals and responsibilities more promptly, you feel more energetic and confident. You’re also in a high position to evaluate which of your interests, studies, and projects are genuinely worth your efforts.

Scorpio (Born October 24 to November 2) and Scorpio Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Scorpio:
September 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until September 21st:
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 22nd 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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until September 5th:
Venus continues to grace your solar ninth house. During this cycle, your ideals in love are set high. You might become inspired by a loved one now, or someone might awaken a new perspective or way of thinking in you. You could also enjoy a trip, or a new adventure of sorts. In fact, you are attracted to anything that is non-routine and fare best when you are reaching out beyond your usual bounds. You might be attracted to people or even objects that are exotic or different in some way during this cycle. It's a good period for personal charm and attractiveness in general.
From September 6th forward:
Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 5th:
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 6-26:
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 27th 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
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Note that Mars sticks around this area of your solar chart for much longer than usual–until January 6th, 2021, but is only retrograde here until November 13th.

September 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

September 2020 Scorpio Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
September 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways.

Venus graces your solar tenth house now. During this cycle, you are most charming and well-received on the job. Your responsibility and authority are likeable qualities now, making this a favorable period overall for schmoozing with those in a higher position than you, as well as for negotiations or social activities related to business. Venus is charming, friendly, and affectionate, and her presence in your career and reputation sector brings social opportunities to your career. You are coming across well at work now, and romantic opportunities, or simply more chances to socialize and network, are likely. You are socially ambitious right now, and success may come through your good managerial qualities or some form of artistic talent, or, indirectly through your marriage partner. People who turn your head during this cycle are those who come across as especially competent.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 18th:
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 the 19th 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
Mars is retrograde from September 9th to November 13th:
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of work, daily activities and routines, and/or health. Events might conspire to slow you down in these areas, forcing you to reassess how you've been managing this part of your life. Frustrations with your daily routine can be part of the picture now. Energy levels may seem low. Mars is your co-ruler, so you may be dealing with issues of image, personal presentation, and physical appearance or health as well.
Occurring in the sector that Mars rules, all of these themes are magnified. See Mars Retrograde for more details.
Mars will continue to transit this area of your solar chart for longer than usual–until February 2021 but is only retrograde until November 13th.
Overview Horoscope:
September 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio:
September can be a month of personal transformation through projects, friendships, and connections, dear Scorpio. You're discovering people and projects you love. Promotional and networking or marketing efforts can be particularly fruitful. A slow but steady approach seems to work the best with Mars turning retrograde this month, perhaps redirecting you.
The focus on happiness goals and networking continues this month, but you'll find more time for rest and relaxation as September progresses. The Full Moon near the start of the month is about a romantic or creative matter coming to full bloom, setting you on a new, fresh path. There can be frustrations or heightened awareness about a matter of the heart that requires changes, or you might awaken to your true feelings about a person or project. Tensions in certain relationships can spur you on.
In your adventure sector until the 6th, Venus inspires your interest in non-routine experiences and a more enlightened viewpoint. Mars, in your work sector until January, encourages you to get the job done. Both can work together if need be, but it can seem hard to integrate in the first few days of September. Consider ways to strike a compromise. People around you can be temperamental and competitive with this transit that tends to highlight differences in needs, desires, and approaches. Be protective of information or feelings that you typically want to keep quiet, as there is an impulsive tendency that could be cause for later regret. Even so, frictions can lead to new insights and a better understanding of yourself and others.
Still, energies are quite excellent for self-expression, social confidence, and improved personal outlook. A more introspective turn starts around the 5th when Mercury heads into your privacy sector for three weeks. On the 9th, Mars turns retrograde. Lasting until November 13th, this retrograde period can produce slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations in your work, health pursuits, daily routines, and habits. There can be weighty issues and delays to manage related to your job or health care, but plenty of chances to sort things out. Ultimately, you're learning about what truly works for you. Keep in mind that pushing yourself during this cycle will likely lead to frustrations and slowdowns, particularly in these areas of life.
It’s time to review whether you’re pursuing your desires and change your approach to getting what you want from your work, relationships, and self-care programs. Enthusiasm for your current job or health regimes could wane perhaps due to setbacks or stalling, but the adjustments you make now can be invaluable. Watch for pent-up anger and passive-aggressiveness in your daily affairs. Routines or work may feel a little lifeless until you figure out ways to spruce things up. Reorganizing and editing efforts can be very fruitful during this cycle.
Fortunately, you're in fine shape to enjoy your studies or a special interest. You can see the bigger picture, or a friend can help you see a new, more optimistic perspective. Others might reinforce or supplement your ideas in pleasant ways. Connecting, mingling, chatting, and networking can encourage you or bring opportunities into your life. Contributions from others tend to be useful or motivating.
While it's a generally good period for your dreams, hopes, and social life, certain unrealized dreams can haunt you a little around the 11th. You might experience some confusion in your relationships, desires, and attractions until you sort things out. You might benefit from taking a break to clear your head and perhaps seek new sources of inspiration.
Jupiter ends its retrograde cycle on the 12th and is now moving direct in your communications sector. Your confidence in studies or your ability to express yourself increases. More clarity is likely in your projects, communications, and personal interests. Positive word of mouth can benefit you tremendously. Your enthusiasm builds for learning and connecting. Conversations open up, and faith and optimism increase.
Business and practical sense both improve with a nice dose of intuition and confidence. Venus helps boost your reputation or career from the 6th forward. You could feel more valued by others, especially those you work with or in a position of authority around the 13-14, although later in September, you can be up and down on this level.
With the New Moon on the 17th, the focus is on your friendships, networks, social life, and happiness goals. New beginnings are on the horizon, and it’s a time when you’re optimistic while recognizing the need to go slowly. A reboot or makeover on a social level can be in order now.
From the 20th, you're likely to feel a little more ambitious about handling personal and health matters. Still, with the Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 22nd, you also require more time to unwind and regenerate your energy.
Technical problems or delays may be frustrating in spots in the last week of the month. You may be a little fearful of changes or tense about recent developments, which can reach a head. Or, tensions can stem from worries about things you haven't done. You could feel scattered, with too much to do, and at a loss as to where to begin.
You might also have a strong feeling that work and daily routines weigh you down when you'd much rather take part in more free-form activities. You might be feeling undervalued for the "unseen" things that you do. While buried frustrations could emerge messily, it's one way of getting something out on the table. Challenges in your work or daily affairs are ongoing now, but you get the chance to resolve conflicts after confronting the issues. A topic of interest or study can excite you now, and others' contributions tend to be useful or motivating. These things could make looming deadlines, health concerns, or scheduling issues a little easier to manage.
It can be a wildly creative time for your work or practical goals, too, and your appeal remains quite strong regardless. Saturn's direct turn on the 29th is another indicator that projects are beginning to move ahead. More structure to your communications, studies, and connections to others can benefit you greatly. Procrastination is costly, and as you meet your goals and responsibilities more promptly, you feel more energetic and confident. You’re also in a high position to evaluate which of your interests, studies, and projects are genuinely worth your efforts.

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 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.
