September steps onto the stage struggling with the high feelings of faith and a demand for perfection. Jupiter has entered Virgo for the next year and with this transition, Jupiter will want to perfect, refine, and improve in a big way.
Strapped for cash? Keep the faith! Make plans, research, and strategize during the Mercury retrograde midmonth and for the following three weeks — and plan to wrap up any loose communications, project plans, and binding contracts prior to the meticulous planet’s backward jaunt.
Excellent money, growth, and opportunity days: 5, 6

ARIES
After the recent retrograde, Venus graces your house of risk, gambling, and fun once again, looking for an opportunity that may have been missed. Think back to June and notice if something that was passed over early in the summer is presenting itself again. Perhaps it’s a quick investment to fund your fall travel plans? Look to begin negotiations after September 6.
With the midmonth new moon, make intentions related to projects that require a considerable time investment.
Negotiating days: 10, 15, 20, 29

TAURUS
After moving backward for six weeks, flirtatious Venus is in full swing in your house of home, living, and family. Postretrograde is a perfect chance to snap up a missed opportunity. Now is the time to spend a little hard-earned cash and beautify your living space.

GEMINI
If you had three wishes related to your home or finances, what would they be? Generous Jupiter has entered your house of home for the next year and brings a desire to focus on large-scale home improvements. September is not the month to make your major move — for now, just do a little dreaming.

Dear Leo, are you interested in large bank deposits? Good news: Benefic planet Jupiter has just moved into your house of earned income for the next year. For the next 12 months, focus on expanding your earning potential, whether that means going to school or taking up new responsibilities at work. Don’t make a demanding move just yet, but if you are willing, then good old Jupiter is ready to help!

VIRGO
Ever wondered how you could earn more money, dear Virgo? This month, the normally spry Mercury moves backward into your house of earned income and material resources. Get out your calculator and brainstorm ways you could add to your bottom line. New budget plan? Sell some stuff (and declutter in the process)? Look into a new job or a side project to make some extra cash? Whatever it is, don’t jump in just yet — get the legwork done first.

LIBRA
For the past few months, there’s been a flurry of activity in your house of community, tribe, and groups. The timing is still good to tackle that neighborhood project: Build stronger bonds with your community and help create a safer, more desirable place to live. (Both of which help raise local property values — and your net worth.) Get involved! Make friends! Go create something beautiful!
Midmonth, set intentions related to the positive karma you’ve accumulated.

You’re a Scorpio after all.

Jupiter , your ruling planet, has just moved into your house of career path and worldly reputation for the next year!

You’ve got it, dear Capricorn, and now is the time to sell it! Negotiating Venus has moved into your house of marketing and other’s people’s money. Are you trying to sell a home or get financial backing on a new project? How about hoping to be a candidate for a loan? Push gently, and employ some heart to get what you want. Venus might even remind you of a key piece to a missed opportunity from June.

AQUARIUS
Sometimes I like to think of Jupiter as the archetype of Santa Claus — he’s big, jolly, and gives you gifts if you’ve been good. Jupiter has just walked into your house of other people’s money, and this gift-giving planet has a big one for you! For the next year, you’ll have a better chance at landing that loan because you are able to market yourself in a desirable way. Absolutely do necessary grunt work before clinching the deal and remember to be good for goodness’ sake!

PISCES
Want to know an astrology bad word? It’s this phrase: Mercury retrograde. Many people out there think it’s responsible for making their lives difficult, but it can actually be a good thing. It’s time to research, Pisces, to rethink and to replan. This month and into October, mental Mercury is in your house of marketing and other people’s money. A contemplative Pisces probably already knows that it’s time to check in on how your investments are flowing and how you could possibly refinance.
Set intentions related to collaborating with someone to get what you need during the new moon on September 12.
