Well, well, well! Look at you, Cancer baby! You’ve poked your adorable head out of your shell, which means you’re experimenting with being a little more…dare I say…vulnerable? Virgo energy makes you feel safe, and with the Sun drifting through this practical earth sign, you’re learning that it’s okay to be raw. In fact, now that you’re being a bit more honest about your wants and needs, you’re having deeper, more meaningful conversations with people who truly want you to succeed. We love to see it!
This sentiment is supported by the Full Moon in Pisces on September 2. Under this sky, it’s blatantly obvious that real recognizes real. In fact, you’re finding the process of opening up to be energizing—you’re learning new and exciting things about your emotional inner world. During September’s Full Moon, you discover that worldliness isn’t just about travel. By stepping outside of your comfort zone, you’re expanding your horizons above-and-beyond what you believed to be possible. Will the Moon (your celestial ruler) shining at maximum illumination, you have an opportunity to embrace the beauty of your own growth—how delightful!
That was the good news…but now, I’m sorry, here’s the bad: On September 9, Mars (the planet of action) begins its retrograde. Retrograde doesn’t necessarily mean disaster, but the red planet’s backward motion is actually a rare reversal: It only goes backwards every two years, which means this celestial phenomenon leaves a meaningful impact. And with Mars Retrograde activating the area of your chart associated with career, legacy, and reputation, it’s likely that for the duration of its reversal (through November 13), you may begin to question your professional pursuits. But it’s not all doom and gloom, Cancer dear. In fact, this is an opportunity to shift out of autopilot and take more control over your aspirations. Are you still moving in the right direction? If not, maybe it’s time to explore a different road? I know this might seem a bit intimidating, but trust me, by the end of the year, this cosmic reprieve will feel empowering. You got this!
On September 17, the Sun and Moon join forces in Virgo, intensifying cosmic energy. Now, you’ll be hyper-aware of everything—but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! You’ve grown a lot over the past several weeks, so under this lunation, you actually begin to realize that your observations expose gratitude. With the New Moon illuminating the area of your chart that governs communication, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to both give (and receive!) appreciation. Let your closest companions know how much you care!
Finally, the month concludes with a new astrological season beginning on September 22, marked by the Sun’s movement into Libra. At first glance, it may seem like you and Libra don’t have much in common: You’re a sensitive water sign and Libra (represented by the scales) is a social air sign that seems to never take anything personally. But, believe it or not, you share a lot of similar attributes with Libra…namely the innate gift of manifestation. Let me be blunt: When you put your mind to something, you can easily turn your fantasies into reality. Now that the radiant Sun is occupying another super-charged manifestation zodiac sign, you can expect plenty of powerful changes to take place. If tension has been brewing, don’t be surprised if everything suddenly comes to a head—this is the perfect time to take a stand, Cancer!
