September 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Gemini

Wide awake! If you’re not feeling the electrifying jolt of Mars in Gemini yet, you’re really not paying attention. The restless red planet is blazing through YOUR sign for an extended seven-month trip (August 20 until March 25), amping up your confidence and charisma. While the surge of motivation is great, it will be hard to power down with Mars here. Luckily, Gemini is a sign that’s accustomed to multitasking and juggling. Still, it could be a lot of intensity, even for you.

To mitigate this, lean in to the soothing and earthy energy of Virgo season. The Sun is in your foundational fourth house of home, family and emotional nourishment until September 22. Stay in your PJs a little longer. Sneak in an afternoon nap between Zooms. Connect with loved ones, whether it’s for a short visit or a long phone call. Quality time is more important than quantity now. Remember: You don’t have to say “yes” to every invitation either! While Mars is in Gemini, you’ll be in high demand, so be selective with your RSVPs.

Another reason to pace yourself? All five of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are in powered-down retrograde now. It’s a wise time to step back and evaluate your plans and path.

From September 9 until October 2, your ruling planet, Mercury, will join the retrograde brigade, setting off a tricky three-week cycle for technology, communication and travel. Combined with Mars in Gemini, you could come on too strong for some people, offending them with your bluntness. If you’re not sure whether to say or post something, err on the side of silence—at least until Mercury turns direct (forward) next month.

That advice goes triple-time during Libra season, when the Sun heats up your expressive and attention-seeking fifth house for a month starting September 22. Channel all that wild energy into a creative project or a fall romance, which could start heating up just as the outdoor temperatures begin to cool.

September 2022: Monthly Horoscope Overview

As you pack in the last ocean side days of the late spring and anticipate the thing that's coming down the road, things are moving in the stars and September introduces an entirely unexpected energy. While things cool down temperature-wise, the change-production power of August relaxes all in all too. It is not necessarily the case that September isn't overflowing with turns and vacillations, yet it's certainly not quite so overpowering as what we traveled through a month ago. The soothsaying of August pushed us as far as possible, it showed us the kind of extraordinary tension that we are fit for making due. September presents to us an essential snapshot of respite as a Mercury Retrograde, allowing us to stop, pause and rest, glance around, and continue forward with some effortlessness and nobility. However, it's a cycle.

Mercury stations retrograde on September 9 and stays in reverse movement until it stations direct on October 2, when retrograde finishes. At the point when Mercury — the planet that oversees correspondence, the sharing and getting of information and data, as well as nearby travel — dials back to a stop and turns to go in reverse on September 9, dialing back and turn too is our sign. Explicit pieces of your life will be up for audit, re-assessment, or re-dos during the retrograde period. Whether you're voyaging this month or remaining in, you'll say thanks to yourself in October by noticing the call to exploit this three-week gateway in Retrograde Land by utilizing an opportunity to dial back and reflect before life — and travel — fires up back in October. Underneath, your September 2022 horoscope.
