September's astrological transits offer a meaningful chance to assess our progress in 2024 and to contemplate the path that lies ahead. As summer transitions into fall, this month encourages us to appreciate our accomplishments and embrace the changing energies of the season. The illumination of the Virgo/Pisces axis by the Moon highlights themes of service, healing, and balance. With Libra season as the harmonious backdrop, these themes are enriched with a sense of fairness and equilibrium.
Whether you're an experienced astrology enthusiast or simply curious, understanding these transits can help you navigate the month with greater balance and insight. In this guide, we explore each significant transit, providing perspectives on how they might influence your life.
01
♅ Uranus Retrograde in Taurus ♉
Uranus moves into its apparent backward motion for five months each year. This energy may bring powerful and unexpected outcomes and wake-up calls. It’s time to confront issues you’d rather ignore and better align your truth with your reality.
♇ Pluto (R) leaves Aquarius ♒
Pluto, in retrograde, temporarily leaves Aquarius and reenters Capricorn, offering a brief return to themes of power structures, authority, and transformation that have dominated the past decade. This shift encourages a final review of the lessons learned in Capricorn before Pluto's long-term journey through Aquarius resumes, bringing forward new challenges and opportunities for collective growth and innovation.
02
☿ Mercury Δ Chiron ⚷
You may now communicate your ideas and views with ease. You may connect with people from all walks of life by using your past wounds as diplomatic fuel.
🌑 New Moon in Virgo ♍
A new cycle begins as we start to harvest the bounties of the hard work we’ve been putting in this year. Virgo’s critical nature may have expected more, but be proud of how far you’ve come and make any changes necessary to get you to your goals.
♂ Mars ☐ Neptune ♆
Energy and mood swings from high to low are possible. Confusion and overwhelm occur as you struggle to direct your desires into something concrete.
04
♀ Venus ☌ Lilith ⚸
You will be urged by this aspect's nature to uphold your moral principles in all of your interactions.This creates a combination that allows us to respect our boundaries in relationships without sacrificing our ideals.
♂ Mars into Cancer ♋
Mars in Cancer turns the red planet of war inward. Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Mars prefers to push forward regardless of our internal cycles. This doesn’t sit well with Cancer, and could lead to an internal fight, feelings of guilt or resentment, and stress. Tend to your home and family during this transit.
♀ Venus ☍ Node ☊
You could find it challenging to show affection. Relationships might be challenging. Conflict and tension may arise from others due to the way you express yourself in social situations and how you show affection.
06
☊ Node ☍ Lilith ⚸
You may revert to old behaviors and routines, manipulating others, or withdrawing from close relationships because you are at ease with your sexuality and raw emotions. You might alternate between trying to repress your sexuality, dark side, and inner fury in order to conform to conventional norms and outright embracing them.
☿ Mercury ☐ Uranus ♅
This may make you impatient and impulsive, with a heightened anxiety and tension. Uranus can bring unexpected changes alongside it, so lean on Mercury’s reasoning and logic now.
07
☉ Sun ☍ Saturn ♄
This transit creates restriction and difficulties in your inner world, and this conflict may be externalized into your relationships. This influence can be very critical, both of yourself and others. Self-evaluation can be productive if you are compassionate and accepting of your current situation.
09
☿ Mercury into Virgo ♍
Virgo is streamlined and exacting; there is no room for fluff or lengthy conversations with Virgo. Research is important to Virgo, and you may find yourself diving into the details and nitty-gritty before deciding on a plan of action. Be wary of becoming stodgy or critical under this influence, you can be pragmatic without negativity.
11
☿ Mercury ✱ Mars ♂
This is generally a great transit for mental acuity, and you may even want to team up with those with similar goals to help move your own values forward. If you’re trying to succeed in business, seek out your community.
12
☉ Sun ☐ Jupiter ♃
Exercise moderation under this influence. You’re confidence is high and that could cause you to overestimate your capabilities or financial situation and end up burning out.
15

♂ Mars ☐ Node ☊
Frustrating or painful themes that have been with you throughout your life may resurface. Utilize your innate talents to direct your energy, not aggression.
17
🌕 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces ♓
This is a culmination of empathetic and intuitive energy. Our awareness is highly sensitive, and boundaries may be crossed. Allow time to dream and create.
18
☿ Mercury ☍ Saturn ♄
This is a dark period of negativity and general frustration. If you can manage, work around this energy as much as possible. Hold off on making big decisions or signing contracts. Staying home is more comfortable than socializing.
19
☉ Sun Δ Uranus ♅
Experimentation is fun and rewarding under this influence. You are adaptable to any changes that come your way, or you may be making them yourself without much difficulty. Follow your intuition and embrace what makes you unique.
20
♂ Mars ☐ Lilith ⚸
You may feel pressure to show your authority. You can be prone to making rash decisions based on your primal instincts. You can change these energies by engaging in high-adrenaline activities.
☉ Sun ☍ Neptune ♆
It may be hard to tell the difference between a truth and a lie. This makes us all susceptible to fraud, both intentional and accidental, though the repercussions of either will be the same. This influence makes it very important to look at the black-and-white of issues or opportunities, and hold off on making decisions if you can, as clear judgement will be lacking. On the other hand, if you can shed your ego and find a retreat, you can hone in on your spiritual and creative side.
21
☿ Mercury ☐ Jupiter ♃
Temper over-optimism now by focusing on the details of life. You may lack focus on the future, or focus too much there, with no real plans in sight. Balance this energy with hard work.
22
☉ Sun Δ Pluto ♇
This transit shines a light on whatever you are currently drive to achieve. You can find intense power in what normally seems like mundane activities, such as cleaning your space or fixing what’s broken. Even these small transformations can make a big impact as you continue to develop your purpose.
☉ Sun into Libra ♎
Libra, the scales and master balancer and harmonizer of the world, brings her beauty and charm to the world through crisp leaves and cooler nights, reminding us that change is constant and necessary. See the beauty and harmony that exists in the world and each other.
24
☿ Mercury Δ Uranus ♅
This aspect proposes a simple way to integrate technology or specialist information into ordinary life. It should be simple to understand and quickly incorporate new concepts or technologies.
25
☿ Mercury ☍ Neptune ♆
Miscommunication and a foggy mind are possible under this influence. Both truth and fiction are in the air, and it’s hard to tell which is which. It is difficult to trust your intuition, and vivid dreams can seem to be far more than they are. If you can’t keep your head out of the clouds, watch fantasy films or get creative to utilize this energy in a useful way.
☿ Mercury Δ Pluto ♇
Mental power is strong, and this is a great time for negotiation and influencing others through the intensity of your words. This transit also favors learning more about your own depths, through therapy, tarot or other investigative methods.
26
☿ Mercury into Libra ♎
A friendly and diplomatic time, Libra brings a balanced and joyful energy to Mercury. The Air sign works well for objective and constructive ideas, and brings awareness to the arts and beauty in the world.
28
☉ Sun ☍ Node ☊
You may have to make a sacrifice to complete your objective when the North Node is in opposition to the Sun. It's possible that the sacrifice is being made in order to draw attention to something that would significantly benefit the planet. You seem to be less egotistical and offer a lot of yourself to something higher.
29
☿ Mercury ☍ Node ☊
You can establish innovative, cutting-edge ways of doing things and propose novel, creative ideas. You have a quick wit and an agile intellect. Be careful of wasting mental energy on current trends.
♂ Mars Δ Saturn ♄
