Your September 2023 Horoscope, From The AstroTwins

No less than seven planets will be in this reversed position throughout the month, disrupting even the best-laid plans. The message? Slow down, tweak your ideas, and make sure everything you're doing is airtight before you launch it out into the world. 

Feeling anxious and spun out over a million little details? Mercury is the ruling planet of Virgo, making this Mercury retrograde feel like a double dose of drama, delays, and digital discord. Back up your important files, hold off on buying any new vehicles or electronics and if possible, sit tight before signing agreements.

The good news here is that Venus, the galactic goddess of love, harmony, and attraction, will end a six-week retrograde through lusty Leo on September 3. Since July 22, Venus has been OOO, messing with our ability to feel glamorous and warmhearted. Venus will remain in Leo until October 8, spicing up the early days of cuffing season and hopefully making up for lost summer moments! 

The next day, however, expansive Jupiter will turn retrograde in earthy Taurus, making us less prone to gamble and a little more cautious with risk-taking until December 30. Jupiter will join the four other slow-moving outer planets, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, which are already retrograde.

Luckily, even Mercury retrograde can't stop most of us from digging into the details, thanks to the Sun's travels through analytical Virgo until September 23. Then the autumn equinox will arrive, bringing balance and kicking off Libra season.

On September 29, an Aries full supermoon reminds us that the squeaky wheel gets the premium-grade oil, and to make sure we advocate for ourselves instead of waiting for someone else to do it!
