Weekly Horoscope: September 1-September 7, Twists of Fate Turn Us Every Which Way

Welcome to September — a month that will be much like a whirlwind! 

After a very slow August, September will be like we’re strapping into a slingshot and hurtling forth. As each day passes, it’ll feel as if there’s an electrical crackle in the air, as if we’re walking toward a thunderstorm. 

The entire month will be filled with synchronicities, beginnings and endings, as twists of fate turn us every which way. This is because we are in “eclipse season” — the time of the year when destiny shifts before our eyes.

On Sept. 1, Uranus, the planet of the future, will begin a retrograde until Jan. 27, helping us to review how we’ve been building our lives since 2018. 

Pluto, the planet of transformation, will also return to Capricorn on this day for the final period in our lifetimes until Nov. 19. Expect one final push to change the structures in your reality — and on the world’s stage.

Mars, the planet of passion, dives into the foamy surf of Cancer from Sept. 4 until Nov. 3. This could get us fired up about our emotions and personal lives — or make us a bit more defensive.

The main pivot point this week, though, will be the arrival of the new moon in Virgo on Sept. 2, 2024. In the week ahead, we’ll have a chance to build more productivity and efficiency in our lives and assess our work and life balances.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

After weeks of life — especially work — spiraling off the tracks, things should be moving forward like a burst of fresh air, Aries. This week will likely see you picking up more projects and responsibilities and juggling many different irons in the fire. If you’d like to bring on more clients or find a new job, you could be in luck. 

Ultimately, though, focus on your work and life balance to ensure you’re always building yourself up—not burning yourself down. On a different note, you could find there’s a need to address your physical health at this time, so chat with a doctor or specialist about how you can make necessary—and positive—adjustments.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

This is quite an important week for you, Taurus. In fact, you may notice that it’s causing you to reflect on how your life has been evolving in recent years. If any projects or personal objectives — especially around you embracing your most authentic self — become delayed at this time, you’re being encouraged to take a new path toward them. 

Yet, this week is also one of the most important of 2024 when it comes to your passions and love life. Singles must mix and mingle — you may find someone who captivates your attention and ignites your desire! If coupled up, plan something extra special to grow closer than ever before.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

The week ahead is encouraging change for you, Gemini, and you’re going to be reflecting on where you’ve previously been. A nostalgic and reflective mood could be upon you, but luckily, you should be able to take the wisdom of the past to integrate it into your next journeys. 

A fresh start around home, family, or your domestic life could also present itself. For instance, some of you may move, redecorate, or renovate. Others could see someone who lives with you — a family member or roommate — move in or out. If for some reason one of your kindred is in need of attention, be sure to step up.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Life is moving forward once again, Cancer, and you’re brimming with ideas and exciting plans. The week ahead is highlighting your intellect and ability to learn and speak up for yourself and your opinions. Some of you could find that you’re engaged in new communications-related endeavors or negotiating an important contract. 

On another note, travel could be on the docket, too, as you visit nearby destinations or find that you’re required to be on the move more than usual in the weeks to come. If you do so, you could meet wonderful people and find that the pace of life is bringing you more joy.

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)

A shift in your career could be upon you this week, Leo, so pay attention to any subtle news that pops up. On one hand, this could be that a project or ambition is being delayed or instead, a revelation that you need to take a new path to climb the ladder. 

In other news, the week ahead could also open doorways to making more money, such as a side hustle, raise, new client, or fresh job offer. Don’t just sit back and wait for it, though — get out there, think green, and make that money however you can!

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

It’s birthday season and you’re likely wondering what it is that you want to build toward in the year to come, Virgo. The week ahead is especially important in setting up the patterns you’ll experience in the year ahead — but also what comes to culmination near next March. 

With the universe opening many doors before you, you must be assertive and use your time and energy strategically to lay many new seeds personally and professionally. Show the universe your intention — don’t just sit back, wishing your desires into existence. A whole new chapter of your life is nearly upon you. It’s time to step up.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

While you’ll be feeling especially hedonistic and radiant this month, you’ll also suddenly feel the urge to relax and lie low, Libra. The week ahead could be the one where you realize it’s best to reflect on exactly where you’ve been in the past year and what you want to build toward once your birthday season arrives. Consider the patterns you exist within on a daily, weekly and monthly basis and if they are building you up or breaking you down. The key to getting everything that you want out of life is to focus on knowing when to wait and when to strike. If anything is weighing you down, use this time to release it.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

For years, your relationships have been evolving before your face, Scorpio. This week, you could notice that you need to look at them a little bit more differently or that you need to bring up an important discussion to clear the air. An ex could also suddenly cross your path or be on your mind. 

On a different level, though, your social life is likely going to be especially active now, as friends and acquaintances seek to link up with you. If you’d like to meet new friends — or simply just catch up with your favorites — now is an excellent period to do so. Also, asking for favors is a grand way of harnessing this energy, so consider how you can reach out to your contacts for whatever it is that you need.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

A shift in your work life seems to be upon you, Sagittarius, bringing a transition around your responsibilities and overall routines. Yet, you may also have an opportunity to chart higher or make changes in your overall career this week, too. For instance, you could see that a job listing you’re perfect for pops up or that you’re offered a new one outright. A promotion, opportunity for recognition and applause could also be here. But don’t just wait for it to come to you — focus on how you can be as strategic as possible right now to climb up the ladder so everyone knows what you bring to the table.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

When it comes to your long-term vision, you’re always navigating a few different ways to get there, Capricorn. However, the week ahead could aid you in stepping outside of your routine, embracing new horizons and trying out fresh opportunities that ultimately lead you in new directions. Roll the dice and be adventurous! 

On a different note, you may see a sudden shift in your love life this week, too. For instance, you could see that your partner is acting a bit out of character and you need to address it. You may even hear from — or find that you are thinking about — an ex.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

The week ahead could bring a sudden shift in regards to family, home, or domesticity, Aquarius. Something beneath the radar will pop up and it’s encouraging you to pay more attention to it. 

On a different note, the week ahead is causing you to focus deeply on what you give and receive in your relationships — either personally or professionally. Positive connections now will be giving you more support, but if you’re not getting what you need, the universe is telling you to step up, voice your thoughts and find better solutions now. Luckily, things can pan out in your favor — but may ultimately take six months to do so.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

There’s a deep need in your soul telling you that you need to look at your relationships with complete and total honesty, Pisces. A sense of longing, distance, or practicality seems to echo in your spirit. The week ahead will bring opportunities to unite and connect with someone of significance in business or love — or instead, make you realize you’re just not on the same page. You hold far more power and weight in all of these decisions than you may think you do. Note that healthy connections now could also lead to bigger decisions down the line, like making long-term plans, signing contracts, or even tying the knot.
