September 10 Crossroads
The sun provides support in establishing order and coordinating the daily rhythm until the equinox. Mercury, after the first decan, moves into the sign of Libra. Thoughts and speech shift from analysis towards the search for truth, beauty, and harmony. Diplomacy, compromises, and the desire to create harmonious relationships become the foundation of all conversations – there is no better time for negotiations and agreements. However, actively fighting for your desires and ideas these days can be difficult not only because of peaceful Mercury but also due to Mars moving through the indecisive sign of Cancer.
September 10 becomes an important crossroads: not only does Mercury change signs, but Venus also moves into Scorpio. This shift in values from external beauty to emotional depth and reliability is not ordinary. Venus will become retrograde in early October and later return to this position. Therefore, the pieces of beauty, finance, values, and relationships that now seem accidentally slipped into your shoe may later become annoyingly unbearable, and getting rid of them will only be possible much later. For now, it is best to record, observe, and analyze the reasons.
Diving deep into the essence of the problem is aided by Venus in Scorpio. At this time, it is most important to avoid superficiality – it will not work in relationships or financial agreements. First, you will want to check everyone you intend to connect with – whether intimate, work-related, or just friendly. Only when protective walls fall can you dive as deeply into a relationship as is impossible at any other time of the year.
On the same September 10, Uranus begins retrograde motion in Gemini, lasting 150 days (until early February next year). This backward movement does not bring external crises – it is a time for internal reorientation. It is time to understand what freedom, originality, and uniqueness truly mean to you and to select those communication and information dissemination channels that support your uniqueness.
From Theory to Practice
All this lays the foundation for the New Moon in Virgo on September 11. Its Sabian symbol is “Swimming Competition.” Training is over; it is time to show skills: to start projects requiring great concentration, good physical condition, or mastery. This new moon offers an opportunity to demonstrate how well you have mastered your field – craft, profession, foreign language, or other skills. The better you control the technique, the easier it will be to handle challenges. But that alone is not enough: you must know the rules, stick to your path, be persistent, and manage emotions. The planetary connections during the New Moon continue this theme: there is no time to watch from the shore; it is time to stand at the starting line.
Mercury, having just entered Libra, the ruler of the New Moon, together with the outer planets forms a positive Kites configuration. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are already moving retrograde, so processes happen as if behind closed doors. Mercury helps to name fears, illusions, intuitions, and dreams – the power of word and thought becomes the main driving force. This New Moon is especially suitable for setting a clear action schedule, directing emotional tension into productive work, and avoiding comparing yourself to others. By the way, you can also interpret the “Swimming Competition” theme literally – as a great opportunity to start a wellness or sports cycle.

Search for Balance
The true autumn and new season are marked by the autumn equinox – the Sun’s transition into Libra on September 23. The focus shifts from daily diligence (Virgo) to relationships and balance (Libra).
Soon after, on September 26, there is a Full Moon in Aries, whose main emphasis is the balance between “I” (Aries) and “we” (Libra). The Full Moon, together with Neptune, leads away from the noise of the world, inviting you to dive into inner spaces. However, what seems like a refuge can also become a trap of illusions. The Moon’s Sabian symbol – “Two lovers walking along a secluded path” – speaks about the need for privacy and personal connection, detached from external influences, as well as about the harmony of masculine and feminine principles within.
Meanwhile, the Sun’s symbol – “A group around a campfire” – reminds of Libra’s need to create social harmony: to belong to a community, share warmth, and feel safe among others. This Full Moon forces you to see the separation between what the inner world asks for and what the external environment expects.
Finally, on September 28, Mars leaves Cancer and enters Leo. The emotionally charged background is replaced by courage, the desire to lead, create, shine, and enjoy life. But that is another story, which will become one of the main highlights of October.
Let’s see what the September sky has prepared for each Zodiac sign.
