September 2022: Monthly Horoscope: Libra

Ready for a little break, Libra? We know: Summer’s just ending. But the planets are directing you to spend some time in your cocoon this September, especially while the Sun is in Virgo and your restful twelfth house through September 22. Maybe you’ve got an artistic or spiritual project that’s calling (the muse will be waiting for you with open arms!). Perhaps there are some unfinished items that could be crossed off the list before your next birthday—and Libra season—arrive.

Another reason to take a measured pace? All of the slow-moving outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune AND Pluto—are powered down in retrograde (backward) motion this whole month. On September 9, communication planet Mercury joins the retrograde brigade, foiling technology, scheduling and day-to-day interactions until October 2.

Even trickier? Mercury will be retrograde in Libra for the first two weeks of the backspin (until September 23), leaving you feeling misunderstood and scattered if you take on too much. Hence the need for a cozy cocoon/escape pod where you can be left along with your imagination. A break from human drama will do you good and help you stay productive.

Fear not, Libra: There are plenty of adventures to be had despite these retrograde challenges. Go-getter Mars is in Gemini for the next six months (until March 2023), heating up your ninth house of travel, entrepreneurship and big ideas. And once the Sun moves into Libra on September 22, you’ll feel a sense of renewal, buoyed by the September 25 Libra new moon. Consider the new moon your “personal new year,” a hard reset that will give you a refreshed perspective and direction.

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.
