September 2018 is jam-packed with planetary activity!

If you thought August was intense with eclipse and retrograde season, wait until you feel the energy that comes from the astrological free for all that's occurring in the sky. September will have us all feeling emotionally buzzed, inspired, creative, and passionate about people, places, and things in our lives.

This energy will have us craving connection, alignment, and using our intuition to self-actualize our potentials and analyze our current trajectory, focusing on how to move next. Many of us will be gracefully falling into all the changes we've made over the summer, and mentally preparing for a whimsical but chaotic fall season.

We have a chiron retrograde entering Pisces, and Pluto goes direct to set us off for October 2018.

Throughout the month the planets switching things up will affect each zodiac sign in multiple ways. Click through the gallery below to see what this means for you:

Aries


Saturn going direct will have Aries signs feeling like they have a whole new attitude, sense of boundaries, willpower, and focus. After a long summer of unpacking old wounds, ending cycles, and tightening their inner circles, Aries will feel an energy of rebirth. You no longer allow yourself to procrastinate as much, and you realize the importance of getting stuff done.

You truly have learned more self-discipline, and no longer will you fall into being passive aggressive in your life.

Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th will reinforce the fact that you are ready to come out of hiding, remission, or introspection about anything you have been dealing with internally. You have spent a lot of time healing certain things in your world, and likely this energy will have you ready to take the next step forward in your life. Many lessons will finally hit home. Mars entering Aquarius will bring in some anxious energy, as Mars can be quite volatile.

Remember that your peace of mind should be at the forefront of your actions, as you keep your eyes set on the prize.

September 20th through the 24th will be a concoction of energy caused by Jupiter sextile Pluto and Saturn quintile Neptune, followed by a full moon in Aries could put an obstacle in your way that you can easily circumvent, if you have learned lessons from the past. You'll be able to get through any confusion and find clarity by aligning your chakras and listening to your spirit.

Lastly, the chiron retrograde entering Pisces and Pluto going direct will teach you a lesson of curving your ego, following your intuition, and letting go of what no longer serves you.

Taurus


Saturn going direct will get September started on a divine feminine roll. Many Taureans will feel extra empowered by their feminine energy. Prepare to take the lead role in any projects you are involved in.

Abundance, passion, and fire is in your favor.

Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th could possibly put you in a bit of a naughty, mysterious, or zesty mood. The energy will have a heavy influence on your sexual energy, temptations, and possibly breaking your own rules. Be sure to stick with your own boundaries and keep a strong head about yourself. You don't want to end up jumping into a pool when you can't swim.

The energy of Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th for Tauruses could attract many high-powered, passionate, and driven people into your life that could help forward you professionally and/or socially. Make sure you position yourself in places where you could network around this time. You will still have that divine feminine glow radiating that will surely attract people who are interested in you personally or your brand.

Lastly, the chiron retrograde entering Pisces and Pluto going direct will be a magical ending of the month of September for Tauruses. Any manifestations that you thought didn't make it into this month, could suddenly pop up in your reality. Last minute surprises are likely, and whatever you brushed up on in the beginning of the month could finally reap its benefits!

A new cycle in your life is occurring but you will have to actively walk into uncharted territories without looking back.

Gemini


Saturn going direct will put Geminis in a light-hearted mood. Many will operate from a place of contentment - knowing that at the end of the day, all is good where it truly matters. If you start the month in a funky mood, you'll run the risk of carrying that energy throughout the month. Instead of stewing in reasons to be upset, raise up in reasons to be joyful.

Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th will be full steam ahead with the busy-body energy again. Just because you are ready to focus, get back to business, and come out of your summer activities, doesn't mean that you should go back to overworking yourself.

Remember that you are only as efficient as your spirit is aligned.

Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th could be an exceptionally lucky day for Geminis. Using the alluring energy of Venus, and the intuitive and spiritual energy of Scorpio, you might find yourself in the right place at the right time, around someone you are supposed to meet. Don't be shy today! Use your mouthpiece to finesse into certain spaces or opportunities. You never know who you could be chopping it up with. Go with the flow and see where the universe leads you.

Lastly, the chiron retrograde entering Pisces and Pluto going direct will point your focus back inward, giving you a much-needed break into self-love and self-care or reflection.

Cancer


Saturn going direct will start your month off with a reassessment of what you want to occur in your world and a strong desire to let go of old attachments, expectations, or dead end ideas.

You will likely be very focused on the bigger picture and the long-term view of where your life is heading.

Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th will have Cancers feeling very sexual! There could be a drastic increase in your sex drive, and a very flirty energy that could have you thinking bad thoughts like Rihanna. Be sure to stay grounded, and don't make out of character decisions, all because your passions and juices are flowing heavy.

Like most signs at some point during this month, Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th will usher in a strict discipline for Cancers. Be sure to channel all of your sexual and creative energy into brushing up on any skills necessary for your goals. You might also feel an urge to network with other professionals or artists in your field.

It's important during this time to keep a clear and open communication with those around you.

Mercury and the Sun entering Libra will have a double effect by reminding you to focus on your inner work and self-care. If you allow the energy from Mars to rub off on your mood, you could find yourself in a downward spiral of mess that could have been avoided. Don't be afraid to backtrack in order to find calm in any storms.

Leo


Saturn going direct will take a little bit longer for the retrograde energy to dissolve for Leos. It might feel like something in your life is being delayed. If you are waiting for any kind of responses, or results of any kind, it could take a little bit longer than expected.

Knock off the edge by choosing to stay positive. Otherwise, this energy carries a lot of anxiety.

Next, the New Moon 17 degrees in Virgo could have some Leos feeling very indecisive. Leos are known to want everything to go perfectly as planned, but this energy will challenge that. If things don't go your way, you must be able to accept any disappointments gracefully. If you don't, a very cranky energy will set in and an aggy Leo is not good for anyone!

Mercury and the sun entering Libra could very well have an unexpected turn of events in the romance department. This energy very well may be your escape from any drama that Mars bought in.

Still, be mindful of taking advantage, or being taken advantage of in this energy.

Lastly, it took this energy a while to get to Leos this month, but chiron retrograde entering Pisces and Pluto going direct will have many of you finally getting over any stubborn blockages in any area of life, and ready to put your best foot forward to ultimately achieve fulfillment and success - just in time for October.

Virgo


Saturn going direct will be a fresh new start on any passions, artistic endeavors, romantic relationships, or spiritual growth. Many Virgos will be invested in new ideas, partnerships, or ventures.

This energy could also represent putting yourself first and focusing on your greatest desires at the start of the month.

Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th carries a very positive energy for Virgos! This is a wonderful time to plan some kind of party, or get together, or go out with your friends and just live your best life. It's also Labor Day weekend, so be sure to take advantage of these high vibes, especially if you have extra time off from work. This is also the perfect time to be a hermit and enjoy as much sleep as possible and relaxation in the comfort of your own home before Mars comes knocking.

Every sign this month will get an urge to brush up on any skills or education necessary for what it is they are aiming to do. Mercury and the Sun entering Libra will have a double effect by pushing you to acquire new skills or abilities to keep up with any competition in your field, as well as make you aware of where you have been slacking and what you need to do to get back on track.

September 20th through the 24th will be a concoction of energy caused by Jupiter sextile Pluto and Saturn quintile Neptune, followed by a full moon in Aries. For Virgos, this brings in very clingy energy. It also represents whether or not you are sticking to your usual script or deciding to break free from your routine, which includes the desire to connect with new people if you are feeling overwhelmed by the ones currently in your life. The full moon in Aries brings about an energy of, "It's not personal, but I'm just trying to do my own thing."

Libra


Saturn going direct will start Libra signs off with a deep desire to figure out what has been holding them back from living their best lives. An energy of soul-searching will be front and center, and it is up to you to be honest with yourself and open up deep-seated blockages.

A huge decision may also be waiting in the wings for your action around this time.

Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th carries a very "me first" energy. It's very possible that you will be more self-absorbed than usual as the seductive energy of Venus, enters the emotional energy of Scorpio. Be sure to find a balance between your desires and expectations when it comes to how you communicate with people around this time. It will be very easy to come off as selfish or unaccommodating.

Mercury and the Sun entering your sign of Libra will have a double effect by giving Libras a new spark of zealous energy, as well as a desire for redirection in any area of life. Use this energy to break free of any played out routines, patterns, or habits.

The desire to "make things right" will be in full effect.

The full moon is a perfect opportunity to make affirmations in self-love and self-care.

Scorpio


Saturn going direct carries a strong energy of wanting to make up for lost time in any way. If any doors have yet to open for you, you may feel like you are sick of waiting, and you are ready to kick that door down. Be sure not to act hasty before taking any action.

Do not lead with frustration, rather use the wisdom you have learned from Saturn's retrograde.

Venus entering your sign on the 9th will be a great day for you to make a power move. The sultry energy of Venus will be an opportunity for you to present yourself in the best light.

Lastly, the chiron retrograde entering Pisces and Pluto going direct will turn up the Scorpio sex appeal and you may have more suitors vying for your attention than usual. If you are taken, don't play with fire. If you are single, obviously go for the one that you connect with the most. Anyone else could be a waste of time.

Sagittarius


Saturn going direct will likely finally bring something that you have been dealing with into fruition, especially if you have been met with a bunch of conflict, obstacles, or indifference in any area of life. Part of how you can utilize this energy, is by being assertive and making sure you express your point of view, needs, and concerns in any situation.

Additionally, the New Moon 17 degrees in Virgo will keep your eyes on the prize. You might get a second wind in any area of life where there has been a stagnation. You might find a new avenue to complete your goal, or even receive the boost and/or help that you've been needing financially or through new resources presented to you.

With Mars known for being a volatile planet, its entry in Aquarius may introduce some internal conversation that pulls on some emotional triggers.

There's an energy of wanting to move forward but also feeling unclear on how to move. Use this energy to self-actualize your best qualities in any area of life and learn from any feelings that come up as something that needs to be worked through. Mercury has something to do with organization and sequence and the Sun shines a light on Libra, bringing about balance and finally reaping what you sow.

Next, the New Moon 17 degrees in Virgo will help you to establish a firm start in building more wealth, or a budding entrepreneurial spirit. It will help you learn how to say "No" when something/someone is asking too much of you, or violating your standards.

The new moon will instill a invigorating "Boss Up" energy for Capricorn signs, most significantly if this your moon sign.

Venus entering Scorpio on the 9th may bring in some feelings of inadequacy, or a fear of losing control in any area of your life. Venus represents two main areas of our life: love and money. With this energy entering Scorpio, expect some anxious feelings to come up around either two of these aspects. It's important not to lose touch with what is actually happening versus what your feelings are blowing out of proportion. Do not make decisions blindly out of fear.

Aquarius


Mercury entering Virgo on the 5th will be a powerful push toward becoming more assertive in fulfilling your goals and wanting to push the envelope in your life. Wherever you have been passive, it's time to make moves. Nothing ever comes to you if you aren't taking action. You very well may be traveling for work or visiting someplace new.
