Energizing Mars is in your sign all month long, breathing fire into your personal goals and bringing you the motivation to take initiative on just about anything. But your Libra horoscope for September 2023 reminds you to use your energy in moderation—because you’ve got a busy birthday season coming up in just a few weeks, and you’ll want to be rested and ready for it!

The month kicks off with your ruling planet Venus wrapping up its retrograde in your friendship sector on September 3, which will bring a renewed sense of harmony to your social life. You’ll be feeling so much more confident about your place within your community and social scene, which is exciting, but there’s more to the story. Don’t feel like you have to take advantage of it all at once. Alone time is especially important for these next few weeks, too! That’s because both Virgo season and Mercury retrograde are currently activating your sleepy twelfth house, reminding you to prioritize your mental and spiritual health. Use your Libran sense of balance to create plenty of restorative downtime between hangs with your crew.
