September 2022 horoscopes predict a busy month—and potentially an ex coming back to you

Prepare for a month with many twists and turns!

September could feel like you’re making your way through a labyrinth, uncertain of where you should go next. Do you charge into new territory on both the personal and professional front—or do you take a step back to assess your progress, refine your path and cut out the obstacles that are just holding you back?

September comes with generally enjoyable cosmic weather—bringing warmth to your heart and laughter to your soul—but will also usher forth the return of the dreaded astrological storm known as Mercury retrograde. Because of this, expect September to be a slower month.

The best thing to do is to not fight the hurricane, but to go with the flow, unplug and focus more on pleasure. This, too, shall pass. With the Mercury retrograde phase predominantly taking place in Libra, don’t be shocked if you hear from someone from your past. If you’d like to reach out to the one who got away, use September.

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

September will bring some hiccups to your path, Aries. This is because Mercury retrograde will already be creeping in at the onset of the month. While the headaches in regards to your negotiations, partnerships and relationships will begin after the 9^th, you are being given an opportunity to find greater equilibrium. The full moon on the 10^th will highlight your sector of privacy and intuition, and you may decide it’s time to lie low, relax or recharge near this time.

Treat yourself to some TLC. This same lunation could also put you in touch with medical personnel or on a more personal level, make your dreams especially intense. The month comes to a close with a new moon in your partnership zone on the 25^th, which gives you the chance to discuss where you stand in a connection with someone else. While you may want to commit, move in or make long-term plans, wait until mid-October. Singles should use the week following this lunation to look for someone who possesses LTR-potential.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

September offers both personal and professional shifts, Taurus. Mercury will retrograde in your sector of routines and employment beginning the 9^th, which could cause confusion on the job or delays in regards to projects. Challenges with coworkers could also occur. If you’d like to go back to a previous job or employer, do so now. A full moon in your friendship zone will light up the night near September 10, bringing you tremendous popularity.

Catch up with pals or attend a mixer. Dating will also go well near this time. You may also find that someone offers aid to you that allows you to reach toward a heartfelt aspiration. To end the month, more shifts around work and your routine are in store. As the new moon arrives on the 25^th, you could be taking on new responsibilities and projects from your boss or a client. If you’d like to look for a new job, offers could appear after this point in time.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Now that mighty Mars is igniting your zodiac sign for nearly seven months, you’ll have the energy to take the lead in every area of your life, Gemini. However, your planetary ruler, Mercury, will fall asleep beginning the 9^th. This will cause confusion around your love life, dating, children or creative passions. You may even reconnect with an old flame in the weeks ahead. If you’d like to reach out to anyone in particular, do so then. A full moon in your achievements sector arrives on September 10, which will bring a big spotlight to your ambitions. You may hear news of a promotion, award or new job offer.

However, this could also signal the end to a job, as well. To end the month, a new moon ignites your passion zone beginning on the 25^th. This will bring exceptional luck to singles who are looking to find someone quite special who will exhilarate them. Couples should use this energy to bring sugar and spice back into their rapport. If you have children or are an artist, you may also notice your attention shifts to these areas then.

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

Take a breather in September, Cancer. Now is a great moment to lie low, reflect and open up your mind. As Mercury spins backward through your domestic and family sphere beginning on the 9^th, you could be having confusion around home-related matters in the weeks to come. If there’s a situation you need to resolve, do so without getting too emotional. Mid-month, a full moon in you expansion zone arrives near the 10^th.

This will highlight how you are absorbing wisdom from the world as well as broadcasting your ideas. A turning point in a travelling, legal, academics or media project could now be at hand. Yet, to end the month, a new moon in your home and domestic sector arrives on the 25^th. If you’d like to make a change, such as moving, renovating or redecorating, you may soon have an opportunity to do so—just try to make it happen after October 2.

LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)

September will bring you a ton of delays, Leo. As Mercury retrogrades in your sector of the mind, communication and short-distance travel, you could feel like your entire life is going up in smoke. Unplug from the drama and instead use this energy to go on a mini vacation while everyone at work is freaking out. A full moon in your intimacy and shared assets zone appears on the 10^th, which could have you eager to merge more closely with someone you meet.

However, this could also bring a bonus, settlement or large check your way. Assess your wealth near this time, including any investments. To end the month, though, a new moon will bring a breath of fresh air to your communications sector beginning on the 25^th. You may soon begin work on an important writing, speaking, advertising or social media endeavor. Important contracts could also pop up now. Just wait until after October 2 to you sign the dotted line or launch any projects.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)

September could have you spinning in circles, Virgo. This is because your planetary ruler, Mercury, is going to begin a retrograde phase on the 9^th. This ensures that you could feel like your whole life is topsy-turvy in the weeks ahead! This period will predominantly be causing delays and confusion around financial matters for you, though. Mid-month, a full moon in your partnership sector arrives on the 10^th.

This is usually a time of coming together with another—or else splitting apart. While it could bring about an engagement, marriage or decision to make long-term plans, it would be ideal to aim for earlier in the month if you can—or wait until mid-October. If single, use this time to look for options who possess LTR-potential. As the month comes to a close, a new moon will give you the energy to move money matters more in your favor after the 25^th. A raise, new job offer or side-hustle could manifest near this time.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)

September could bring you quite the headache, Libra. This is because Mercury, the planet of the mind, will be retrograding through your zodiac sign for most of the month. This ensures plenty of delays, frustration, miscommunication and turmoil. You may feel like you’re standing in the eye of a tornado. Go with the flow rather than fighting against the storm. A full moon in your productivity sector arrives on the 10^th, which could bring a turning point around a health matter or a business project.

If looking for a better job, do so now. Also, if you’d like to shift your fitness or diet regimen, do so now. Birthday season arrives beginning the 23^rd, so get ready for a festive month ahead! Last, a new moon in your zodiac sign arrives on the 25^th, empowering you to put yourself out there and pursue your most important goals now. Enjoy the fun vibes ahead!

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21)

Prepare for a unique month in September, Scorpio. This is because Mercury, the planet of communication, will be back spinning in your sector of karma, secrets, hidden enemies and mental health beginning on the 9^th. This will echo out for the weeks to come, bringing up potentially murky or anxiety-ridden situations for you to face. However, this is to help you resolve the past and move forward. Luckily, a rather sweet and magical full moon arrives on the 10^th, which will highlight your sector of passion.

Singles could cross paths with a soulmate or feel like they’re falling in love, while couples could reignite their connection. If single, line up dates with many options near this time. If looking to conceive—or already have children—this lunation may bring up news now. Last, a new moon in your sector of rest arrives on the 25^th, which will encourage you to recharge your batteries, lie low and give yourself some TLC.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)

September could feel like you’re being pulled every which way, Sagittarius. With the arrival of Mercury retrograde on the 9^th, you’ll notice that there is some confusion around your long-term goals and social life. Frustrations with friends could also crop up. However, one way that this can work to your favor is by reconnecting with people in your network who you have lost touch with. You could reignite the rapport.

The full moon on September 10 will spotlight your home, family and domestic life. This could bring a move, renovation or the need to reach out and aid one of your kindred. The month comes to a close with a new moon energizing your social life on the 25^th. In the week ahead, you could be connecting with many pals at events. If single, you have an opportunity to meet wonderful new options through apps or online dating.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)

September will make you quite curious about the world, especially as you see the unique shifts take place, Capricorn. Mercury retrograde arrives on September 9 and will predominantly bring delays, frustrations and miscommunication in regards to your career, bosses or professional ambitions. Take it slowly in the weeks ahead. A full moon in your communication and short-distance travel zone lights up the night on September 10.

This will likely see you debuting an important writing, speaking or contractual project. If you’re able to take a quick trip—especially near water—you’ll have a dazzling time. To end the month, a new moon in your professional zone arrives on September 27. This could bring more responsibility, power or success your way. An award or promotion may appear on the horizon. If you’d like to move in a different direction in your career or look for a competitive job, use the week after this lunation.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)

September may be a bit less rocky for you than others, Aquarius. Mercury retrograde begins on the 9^th, but will cause you to become quite introspective rather than creating blatant chaos in your life like it will for others. You may notice delays or confusion around academic, legal, spiritual or long-distance travel goals. However, if you’d like to return to things or destinations from your past, you’re in luck to do so.

A full moon in your financial zone appears on September 10, which will bring a shift around money matters. This could bring a raise, new job offer or a large check—but could also just as likely trigger a large expense. To end the month, a new moon in your expansion zone arrives on September 25. This will energize you to open your mind, pursue new horizons intellectually or even plan an exhilarating upcoming trip.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)

A major month for your personal life has arrived, Pisces. Mercury retrograde arrives on September 9 and will cause confusion and miscommunication around relationships, partnerships, intimacy or shared assets. This could cause quite the friction. Mid-month, the most important lunation of the year arrives for you on September 10, as it will fall in your zodiac sign. You will be front-and-center.

A major heartfelt goal or project could come to culmination for you. Use the spotlight to move your life in the direction that you desire. To end the month, a new moon in your sector of investments and sexuality arrives on September 25. This will give you the opportunity to grow closer with someone in love or business or to focus on large financial matters. Seize the week after this new moon.

Predictions from my BFF and world-renowned psychic Calise Simone:

Prosperity will come in unusual ways this month, so be open to receive. Keeping a big picture perspective will help with communication challenges around the 9^th, 11^th and 23^rd. You may need to pick your battles wisely. A strong wave of healing energy can be felt on the 30^th so if you’re prepared to feel your spiritual strength return.

Animal Card pull about relationships from mystic artist Narayana Montúfar:

When it comes to the world of relationships, the animal spirit lends us the magical spirit of the Crow. As a creature of the air element, the Crow has the ability to see life as a storyline. This means that in September, we must make relationship decisions by examining the past, the present, and what we would like to manifest in the future. When considering who should be in your life, and who should not, take the long view. Do you see a certain person in your life, helping you thrive, in ten years? These are the types of questions September will ask you. The Crow has psychic gifts, which you can tap into—but only when you feel grounded and your mind is clear. Allow for this magical animal to guide you, as you align with the spirit of Fall.

Musings from acclaimed Aura & Crystal Card reader, Transformation Coach Heather Dawn

If you want a new relationship, wait until the end of the month. Take the time to clear out some old love patterns and partners—old flames love to return during Mercury retrograde. As we move into Fall and the end of the year, try to find a mate that’s compatible and can go the long haul. If you’re already in a long-term relationship or marriage and feeling trapped, take a breath. Are you really, truly trapped? Perhaps you’re just feeling stuck because fears have been holding you back? Take time this month to develop your self-worth.

Take a hard look at your fears and the excuses those fears have provided, which have stopped you from making necessary changes in your relationship. It may be necessary to take a few steps back in your partnership and practice more self-love and learning to set healthy boundaries. Hopefully your partner can get on the same page and together you can both form a mutual rapport of love and growth. Watermelon Tourmaline is the crystal card pick for September. This romantic heart chakra stone connects us to inner peace and love while it assists in removing emotional and energetic blockages.
