Pack your bags, Cancer! You’ve probably got some travel planned this Virgo season. Maybe you booked a weekend getaway or you’re visiting friends across the country.

You’re reconsidering one of your long-term goals right off the bat on September 1 when Uranus goes retrograde in Taurus. You could meet someone unexpected who can help connect you with the right people to make progress on your dreams. A new and surprising friend or mentor may also enter your life. On the same day, Pluto Retrograde re-enters Capricorn, putting tension on your one-on-one relationships. If you’ve ignored red flags, toxic patterns, and pangs of jealousy over the past few months, this is your chance to address them. Someone close to you might also go through a challenging situation and require your support. People you meet and chance encounters might feel karmic, and your relationships are undergoing a period of transformation. You’re either going deep with someone or choosing to part ways!
The new Moon in Virgo on September 2 coincides with a new contract or exciting idea. You are mentally stimulated! Maybe you make the decision to go back to school or you commit to learning a new skill or hobby, just for fun. Today can also bring developments and turning points to your relationships with siblings, BFFs, and extended family members. You could feel ready to bury the past and start fresh. Mars, the planet of action and frustration, enters your sign on September 4. For the next few weeks, you have a lot of momentum and drive, but with all that extra energy, you may also be a bit clumsier, so move through your days with a little caution. Any repressed anger or frustration also bubbles up to the surface. You might find yourself getting into more conflicts, but it’s in the name of advocating for yourself.
Let’s talk compatibility!
