Your September 2023 Horoscope by iBestTravel

Your September 2023 horoscope is here. After a stressful, contentious July and a somewhat disorienting August, the month ahead offers us a breath of fresh air – and some of the year’s best astrology. Venus goes direct on the 3rd, in tandem with Jupiter stationing retrograde on the 4th. Throughout the end of August and most of September, the two most pleasure-granting, wish-fulfilling planets will be encouraging each other on (and tempting us toward excess). This not only brings closure to this summer’s Venus retrograde story but also grants us a conclusion we can probably feel satisfied with. If nothing else, this is probably not the month to try to travel on an austerity budget – good food and a vibrant social scene beckon.

Mercury’s Role This Month

Mercury’s direct station on 15 September helps course-correct any issues in communication. Mercury Direct is always a welcome relief for travelers familiar with the chaos that ensues during retrogrades, and this one occurs in Virgo, where Mercury is most powerful. The second half of September is a fantastic time to problem-solve and plan future travel, especially around the 25th when Mercury trines Jupiter.

Libra Season Begins

On the 23rd, the Sun enters Libra, bringing us across the threshold of the equinox. Libra Season is for culture enthusiasts. This is a great time to visit the world’s art and fashion capitals, or at least prioritize places where you can see and be seen.

Aries Rising

Your summer of hedonism has a bit of juice left to squeeze. With Venus newly direct as of 3 September, you’ll be less prone to spending on experiences that won’t deliver satisfaction. Additionally, this revitalizes your romantic life and any travel plans you may have. The full moon in Aries on 29 September is a celebration of a personal milestone.

Taurus Rising

September could easily be one of your best months this year. Your ruling planet, Venus, stations direct on the 3rd, opening the door for new opportunities and fewer snags. With Jupiter retrograding in your rising sign, consider this an opportunity to digest everything you’ve learned and internalize your experiences.

Gemini Rising

With Venus newly direct in your third house, local excursions are calling your name. If that’s not on your agenda, expect to enjoy cultural events happening nearby. An exciting shift awaits as Mercury comes back online, making the second half of the month particularly empowered.

Cancer Rising

This month signals a resolution to summer’s financial issues, making it an ideal time to host gatherings with high-quality ingredients from local markets. You might find a perfect new home if you’ve been searching. Expect clearer direction after Mercury’s direct station on the 15th.
