Your Monthly Love Horoscope for September 2024
Aries
Dynamic Mars partners with nurturing Cancer on September 4, so emotional security is a priority. Casual dating takes a back seat to trying to find a long-term partner. If you’re already in a relationship, you can expect your intimate connection with bae to increase. Cozy nights at home spent doing nothing special are the best.
On the eleventh, a sizzling Mercury-Mars sextile helps you express your desires—especially some of your naughtier thoughts—clearly and directly. If you’re single, you might connect with someone who shares your mischievous nature and wants to help you act out your fantasies. Attached Rams, role-playing is super fun now.
Your rizz factor skyrockets as Mercury glides into Libra on September 26 and takes your charm factor up several notches. It’s a lot easier to navigate social situations and express yourself tactfully now, which can sometimes be a challenge for you. This is an excellent time for casual dates or keeping it light with a current partner.
A powerful Mars-Saturn trine arrives on the twenty-ninth, helping you realize that love is more a marathon than a sprint, which means slowing down and working to improve the quality of your romantic interactions rather than keeping a body count. Attached Aries, recapturing the spark you felt when you first met is possible now. Find a way to make it happen.
Taurus
When planetary rebel Uranus goes retrograde on September 1, it’s time to make some changes in your love life. Single Bulls, when unexpected connections or opportunities cross your path, embrace them. Attached Taurus, this is a great time to experiment with bae, but be cautious about making impulsive decisions. Incorporating changes slowly is the way to go.
On the fourteenth, a Venus-Jupiter trine breezes into your love life and improves your sense of optimism. No matter how complicated your dating or relationship status is, you still radiate charm and attract admirers. Singles, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and enjoy the extra attention. Attached? Carve out some quality time together and just have fun.
An intensely emotional Venus-Pluto square shows up on September 22, increasing passion levels but not always in a positive way. Going beyond the superficial is a step in the right direction, but becoming more involved can lead to possessiveness and jealousy. Whether you’re just starting something or have been married for years, feelings can be very complicated now.
Later that same day, Venus moves from Libra to Scorpio, encouraging you to embrace the transformative power of this pairing. While your typical Taurus practicality is still a valuable quality, don’t shy away from exploring deeper emotional connections. Communicate openly, be honest about your desires, and be willing to experience love in a new way.
Gemini
Love and communication are in the spotlight as power player Mars in your first house squares Neptune in watery Pisces on September 2 and creates some messy confusion. Misinterpreting signals and overlooking red flags can lead to some awkward, embarrassing, or even semi-dangerous moments. Try not to get swept away by emotion as you navigate this difficult aspect.
On the eighth, your leader Mercury enters strict earth sign Virgo, which is a good time to sharpen your communication skills. Your mind is also much more analytical, so you’re able to express yourself clearly to a potential or current partner. Intelligent conversations get you going more than other types of foreplay.
A confident Mercury-Mars sextile arrives on September 11, reminding you to take charge and go after what you want. Taking a more assertive approach to dating or interactions with bae helps you feel powerful and positive. Looks like things are going to work out just the way you want them to, Gemini!
On the eighteenth, you aren’t interested in anything casual as smart Mercury opposes ambitious Saturn and encourages you to take a more serious approach to love and relationships. Flings aren’t as appealing, and if you’re involved with someone, you’ll be thinking about ways to deepen your commitment. The big picture is in focus now.
Cancer
No matter what your romantic situation, September brings a wave of intensity and introspection for you, Cancer. The month starts with the moon, your emotionally charged leader, new in logical Virgo on the second, encouraging you to declutter your love life and prioritize taking care of yourself. As a nurturer, this won’t be easy, but it’s for the best.
As passionate Mars enters your artistic sign on September 4, you get a boost of creative energy. Use your imagination to dream up the romantic scenarios you want in your life, and then take steps to manifest them into existence. Now that you have the courage to pursue your desires, what’s stopping you?
The full moon and lunar eclipse in sensitive kindred water sign Pisces on the seventeenth bring a broad range of emotions, including excitement, sadness, and the potential for breakthroughs or endings. There’s a lot going on now, but sometimes you need to make it through the bad times to recognize the good ones.
On September 22, we see affectionate Venus entering seductive Scorpio, which intensifies your desire for intimacy and a deep connection with a current or potential partner.

Leo
There’s a lot of growth headed your way if you tune in to what the planets have in store for you this month. First, a tough opposition between your stunning cosmic ruler sun and hardworking Saturn on September 7 creates a temporary challenge regarding finding or maintaining love. Don’t hesitate to put yourself out there or feel held back by unrealistic expectations. Where there’s a will, Leo, there’s a way.
On the twelfth, a sun-Jupiter square has you craving big romantic gestures from a current partner or looking for the perfect match if you’re single. Here’s a hint: no such thing exists! The higher your expectations, the harder you’ll fall when they aren’t met. Avoid getting caught up in idealizing people and instead focus on genuine connections.
A more positive sun-Uranus trine arrives on September 19, bringing a chance encounter with someone unexpected or drawing you and bae closer together. Embrace new experiences and don’t be afraid to break free from your usual dating or relationship patterns. You never know what can happen when you say yes instead of no.
The thirtieth brings a bright sun-Mercury meetup in Libra, when communication is key. There’s no better time to work on expressing yourself clearly and making sure you listen to others. If you’re on a date, use your charm and communication skills to connect on a deeper level. If you’re attached, bae will appreciate the extra focus on them when they’re talking about something important.
Virgo
You love getting into a good routine, Virgo, but there are some twists and turns ahead this September. A new moon in your house of self on the second is a powerful time for self-reflection and considering what truly matters to you in a partner, as well as what qualities you bring to a relationship. If any adjustments are necessary, set some goals.

A stressful Mercury-Saturn opposition shows up on the eighteenth, conjuring up insecurities or self-doubt. Don’t let these negative thoughts hold you back. Focus on your strengths and what makes you unique and forget about the rest. You’re worthy of love just as much as anyone else.
Your planetary homie Mercury floats into lovely Libra on September 26, encouraging you to compromise with bae or find common ground with someone new you’re dating. Yes, sometimes opposites attract, but right now you need peace, not conflict. Be thankful for what you have whether or not your love life is ideal.
Libra
The new month brings a beautiful blend of energies for both single and attached Libras, including a lovely Venus-Jupiter trine on September 14 that bathes you in optimism and charm. If you’re looking for love, your magnetic personality helps you attract attention, and if you’ve already found your person, they’ll be more captivated by you than usual.
As the sun enters your transformative first house on the twenty-second, we also experience the fall equinox. Again, you’ll be radiant as you soak up this solar transit and new season’s fabulous energy by practicing self-love and the art of being confident no matter what. Anyone who’s fortunate enough to have you in their life right now should count their lucky stars!
Fast-thinking Mercury enters your sign on September 26, highlighting communication and showing you ways to make small improvements.

The thirtieth brings a sun-Mercury union that encourages clear, simple communication and makes it a little easier for you to express your feelings and connect with others on a more intimate level. Establishing a deeper level of understanding with a current or potential partner will help clear up a lot.
Scorpio
September is a powerful month for Scorpios regarding love. When your moody co-planet Pluto goes retrograde while in earthy Capricorn on September 1, you get a chance to let go of some of the emotional baggage you’ve been hanging on to. Those limiting patterns you adopted from past relationships aren’t doing you any good, Scorpio!
On the fourth, your other co-ruler Mars partners with kindred water sign Cancer, giving you a huge rizz factor. As your confidence and charisma soar, you’re also more understanding and compassionate. That combo is basically irresistible to a crush or current partner.
When an intense sun-Pluto trine arrives on September 21, you need to be around people who share your intensity and depth. If you’re in a casual relationship or just dating around, you won’t be satisfied. Encountering someone who ignites a spark of passion and emotional understanding can mean trouble for attached Scorpios. Are you willing to risk what you have for what-ifs?
Darling diva Venus enters your first house of self-expression on the twenty-second, so get ready to be the main character in your own love story. You’ve been letting other people shine lately, but now it’s your turn to enjoy the applause. Don’t be shy. Your magnetism is electric, and people can’t take their eyes off you during this magical transit.
Sagittarius
September holds a lot of romantic potential for you, Sag. Asteroid Pallas lights up your new beginnings zone on the eighth and helps you make smarter decisions about love than you have been lately. Trust your intuition and be a little choosier when picking potential partners or deciding whether or not to stay in a current relationship or go back to an ex.
The Virgo sun squares Jupiter on September 12, potentially creating disagreements in a current relationship or tension in a developing one. Focus on finding common ground and remember the reasons you love your partner or like your crush. No one is perfect, and this aspect loves to point out people’s flaws.
You get a better vibe from the Venus-Jupiter trine on the fourteenth as it coincides with a rush of good luck and a hopeful feeling about your love life. When you radiate positive energy, you attract potential partners who share your sense of wanderlust and adventure. If you’re already coupled up, your attraction for each other grows now. Plan a secret rendezvous to create some excitement.
The sun moves into lighthearted Libra on September 22, the same time the fall equinox arrives. The focus now is on partnerships and finding balance in your life. You need someone who complements your knowledge-seeking nature and can join you on exciting getaways. Prioritize finding or maintaining the type of love that you can grow old with.
Capricorn
This month is filled with introspection, starting when Pluto, the planet of transformation, begins its retrograde journey in your own sign on the first. As you do a deep dive into your emotional center, you’ll be reevaluating your wants and needs. There’s a lot of healing to be done before trying to move on.
A new moon in fellow earth sign Virgo on September 2 brings familiar logical energy and encourages you to organize your thoughts and let go of the ones that are holding you back. What are your values and goals in a current or potential relationship, and what are your deal breakers? Be honest about what kind of treatment you will and won’t accept.
The Virgo sun opposes Saturn on the seventh, which can create some emotional distance or a total disconnect between you and a current or potential partner. This can be a very vulnerable time, Capricorn, so don’t let self-doubt stand in the way of getting what you want.
Clever Mercury opposes your wise leader Saturn on September 18, which can be a challenging time to try to get your point across.

Aquarius
Expect the unexpected when Uranus, your rebel home planet, goes retrograde in stable Taurus on September 1! You might be reconnecting with an ex, reevaluating your priorities, or even undergoing a sudden change in your relationship status. It might not seem like it, Aquarius, but the Universe is guiding you toward a more fulfilling path. #trusttheprocess
On the sixth, an erratic Mercury-Uranus square twists the lines of communication, so it’s very possible to get your signals crossed. You might experience unexpected connections with unconventional people or spark interesting conversations with a current partner, but that yellow caution tape is always flapping around in the background.
When the sun trines Uranus on September 19, your uniqueness is obvious. This is a great time to put yourself out there and attract partners who appreciate your independent spirit and intelligence. If you’re attached, reconnecting with your partner on a deeper level is magical. You’re each your own person, but you work well as a cohesive team.
On the twenty-second, the sun entering Libra puts the focus on partnerships. Unity is important now, so you’ll be looking for someone who treats you with respect and agrees with a lot of your opinions and beliefs. If you’re already with someone, enjoy peaceful deliberations and negotiations. Volunteering somewhere together makes a great date activity.
Pisces
Your love game intensifies this month, Pisces, as you experience a whirlwind of emotions and time for introspection. A confusing, shadowy vibe comes from the Mars-Neptune square on the second, but the answers will soon be clear. Being honest with current or potential partners (as well as yourself) is key.
As active Mars enters sensitive Cancer on September 4, it lights a fire inside you and encourages you to go after what you really want. You feel bolder and more confident now, so be as direct as you dare. The more willing you are to lower your guard and put yourself out there, the more positive the results will be.
The full moon and lunar eclipse in your first house on the seventeenth trigger a much-needed emotional release and encourage you to end something that isn’t working for you anymore. You can have major breakthroughs in your love life now if you’re willing to go out on a limb and release something (an emotion or person) that’s been holding you back.
On September 20, the sun opposes your ruler Neptune, giving you a chance to confront the daydreams you’ve been using to escape reality and open your eyes to what’s really going on. Deep down, you knew you were being overly idealistic, but you love wearing those rose-colored glasses. At least now you can see the whole picture for what it is.
