You’re the most ambitious sign of the zodiac, Capricorn darling. But of course, you don’t need me to tell you that. Everywhere you go, you know that you hustle harder than anyone. In fact, nothing makes you happier than navigating stressful, fast-paced environments and churning out top-quality work. Of course, 2020 has definitely thrown a wrench in your five-year plan…and you’ve changed, adjusted, and modified. At the beginning of the new month, you’re feeling ready and able to finally make something meaningful—that’s right, Capricorn love: It’s time to start anew.

On September 2, the Full Moon in Pisces activates your communication zone, sending an electrical signal in the area of your chart associated with friends, peers, and colleagues. In order to move forward, you need to tap into your community—you need to know what people actually care about these days! Under this sky, keep your DMs, emails, and texts open. You’ll be receiving important information that has the potential to change the way you think about your professional reality. Maybe you’ll discover that your ideas are totally aligned with the zeitgeist…or maybe you’ll realize that you’ve been living under a rock. Either way, trust that Full Moons shine bright light into the darkness, so whatever information you’ve been missing will surely be revealed.

On September 9, Mars goes retrograde for the first time since 2018. Of course, this is no surprise for 2020. Why wouldn’t this rare retrograde occur during this intense year? For you, however, Mars’ backwards motion has the potential to make a permanent impression. From mid-September through November 13, Mars’ cosmic reversal will activate your domestic sector, asking you to confront important (but painful) realities about your background. I know you’re a straight-shooter, so let me be blunt: Not all of these breakthroughs will be pleasant. In fact, you’ll probably realize some very painful things that you chose to ignore. Trust that you’re strong enough to handle these truths. Acknowledging your reality will empower you to break cycles that are no longer serving your spirit. Fortitude is key, but you’ve got plenty of it—you’re ready to take your life to the next level, so don’t give up now!

What’s more, the New Moon in Virgo on September 17 will not only offer a comforting, supportive energy…but also serve as a reminder that “fun” isn’t just reserved for children—you’re allowed to have it, too! Don’t be surprised if you end up developing a crush on someone under this velvety sky. For some Capricorns, this romance may be totally hypothetical (you know that could never happen), but for others, the New Moon signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Either way, explore what happens when you let your guard down and infuse your reality within a little more laughter, passion, and, yes, intimacy. Don’t worry…you got this!

Finally, on September 22, the Sun moves into Libra, marking a new astrological season. This is big for you, Capricorn, as Libra season is a terrific time for you to make brave professional decisions. You live for this sh*t, Capricorn, so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there! You’re already doing the most…but what would happen if you dialed up your output just a tiny bit more? Yes, it may require a boost in stamina (and maybe one or two late nights), but for the next few weeks, you’re positioned for long-term success. By the end of the month, you’ll be a magnet for exciting, new opportunities, so don’t be afraid to lean into this abundant, comic energy. You deserve it!
