Thursday's Moon enters Sagittarius, shifting into your sixth house of work and daily routines, and reaches First Quarter phase. This lunar milestone asks you to take concrete action on health habits or work projects that have been developing. The Sun in Virgo continues lighting up your third house of communication and local connections. Commit to one new health practice or organize a work project that's been on your mind.

September 2026

Venus enters Scorpio on the 10th, bringing intensity and creative depth to your fifth house of romance and self-expression; expect love and art to demand more honesty. Mercury shifts into Libra on the 11th, sweetening your home and family life with diplomacy and grace. Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini the same day, beginning a five-month review of your subconscious patterns and spiritual practices. Mars enters Leo on the 28th, energising your finances and sense of self-worth. The Full Moon in Aries on the 26th illuminates your tenth house of career and public role—a moment of professional recognition or decision. This month, commit to one learning goal and watch your confidence grow alongside your knowledge.

Your Year Ahead

Home, family and emotional security take centre stage. Nurturing yourself as well as others is the theme. A move or a deepened bond could define the year.
