Leo monthly horoscope

Jupiter is still in your sign, and the month’s kindest aspect points straight at it: Mercury sextile Jupiter on September 21 — from your solar third house of messages, no less — is your good-news day. A conversation, an offer, an email that reads like the sky owed you one. Circle it.

The start is quieter and grittier. Mars squares Saturn on September 1 from your twelfth house of rest and unfinished business against Saturn in your ninth: the trip, degree, or big idea says wait while your energy runs backstage. Use the first week to finish rather than launch. Money gets the daylight instead — the Sun’s Virgo weeks light your second house of income, and the new moon at 18.4° Virgo on September 11 is the earnings reset: the rate raised, the budget rebuilt, the invoice finally sent.

September 10 moves three pieces at once. Mercury enters Libra and starts its errand-house run — trine Pluto and opposite Neptune on September 12 (one sharp conversation, one slippery one), trine Uranus in your house of friends on September 14, opposite Saturn on September 18, when the distant plan asks for a realistic schedule. Venus enters Scorpio and your home-and-family house the same day, then squares Pluto on September 15: affection and control briefly argue over a domestic decision. Choose warmth with a spine. And Uranus stations retrograde at 5.7° Gemini in your eleventh — the group project rethinks itself; let it.

The Sun enters Libra on September 23, and the pace picks up in your near world. The full moon at 3.6° Aries on September 26 culminates in your ninth house — the faraway thing (a journey, a publication, a belief) reaches its turning point, with the Sun opposite Neptune the same day advising you to check the itinerary twice. Then the sky hands you the keys: Mars enters Leo on September 28, the Sun trines Uranus, and the year’s most decisive stretch of energy in your own sign begins.
