With September opening with major cosmic transits, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign in our weekly horoscope column
On September 1, Uranus goes retrograde in Taurus, guiding us to reflect on where we feel chained down and what drives us in our desire to break free in life. The next day marks Pluto retrograde re-entering Capricorn, where it stays until November before moving into Aquarius for the next two decades. This energy encourages us to explore our soul’s gifts and contemplate whether our current path contributes to what we wish to share with the world. This is also a time to reflect on our growth since 2008, recognising the maturity we have gained. Uranus and Pluto’s movements will likely stir up big life changes, such as career shifts and other lifestyle adjustments. Collectively, we will continue to notice shifts in leadership and authority structures.
The Virgo New Moon on September 3, influenced by Saturn retrograde in Pisces, brings a sense of restriction that forces us to pause and trust the process. While Virgo feels most at home tending to practical matters (think day-to-day routines, work, health), it is crucial to carve out space for our inner connection (Pisces). This New Moon is also affected by Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune retrograde in Pisces, which could make taking action feel challenging. If you experience lower energy levels, take the time to slow down and rest. As Mars moves into Cancer on September 5, this next period confronts our suppressed emotions, highlighting family issues, especially our relationships with our mothers.
Closing out the week, we have Mercury in Leo squaring Uranus in Taurus. During this time, we might receive some surprising news that may land like a punch to the ego. Make sure to doublecheck your communications and remain open to new perspectives, if and when plans change.
