Earth signs dominate for most of the month which is great news as your star sign Capricorn is earth. This is when you’re in your element and you can take steady and safe steps towards a long-term goal.
Your zodiac symbol, the mountain goat, is a great ambassador for your star sign Capricorn. Resilient and determined, it leaps its way from rock to rock until it finally conquers the mountain.
Long Term Goals
Therefore, it’s not a bad idea to have a similar mentality to the sturdy mountain goat this month because long-term goals are foreground. This is because of the Sun’s move through Virgo and the sector of your horoscope which rules travel, study and the bigger picture up until the 23rd.
If you’re travelling or studying as September begins, you’re in tune with your stars. It’s also a good time to be looking ahead to next year’s holiday or be lining up a trip away. If you’re a typical Capricorn, you like to have a schedule or plan, sometimes years in advance.
The key to your success this month is to be true to your earth sign roots. Don’t take on too much, don’t get overly carried away and keep your feet on the ground. Deal with the practicalities at the same time as nurturing your dreams. Ensure you can deliver what you promise.
This key planetary activity peaks at the Full Moon on the 10th, which feels potentially emotional or dramatic. You might be keen to leave behind the everyday and run off and escape somewhere different, to the sea or the countryside. Either way, it’s a good time to release, let go and shift gear. Moving forward, you may need to adopt a different pace.
One word of caution is to double check the facts of what you’re dealing with this month. Read the small print, ensure you have insurance or that your visa is going to arrive on time. Don’t let things slip and use your earthy intuition to decide who you can and can’t trust, especially on the 16th & 24th.
Mercury Retrograde
There is another reason why you’re wise to sift through the details and double check all correspondence. This is because communication planet Mercury turns retrograde on the 10th, the same day as the Full Moon.
Mercury’s in Libra and your career and vocation sector when it switches direction. This may mean that you feel pulled in different directions during the Full Moon period. You might have a yearning to dive back into the past or to take care of family or loved ones.
Alternatively, you may be asked to drop everything and put career or vocation first. Either way, you could feel quite overwhelmed mid-month, so ensure you have a strong back-up team in your life, both at home and at work. Don’t attempt do do everything on your own.
Mercury moves back into Virgo on the 23rd, a time to double-check travel arrangements or study plans. This is where Mercury turns direct on October 2nd, the planetary equivalent of a green light. Be ready to change your mind and for plans to divert swiftly up until then.
Career Moves
Libra is one of the air signs and you’re wise to engage your logic and rationality when planets are active in Libra. It’s less about feeling your way forward and more about working things out strategically. When Mercury’s on go slow in Libra, revise and review your career or future situation.
Work your connections in the second half of the month too, as this is where you could make progress or be able to get ahead of the rest of the pack. Once the Sun enters Libra and the sign of relating on the 23rd, the day of the Equinox, people count.
Plus, two days later, there’s a New Moon in Libra on the 25th, an ideal date to send off a job application or ask for a promotion. New beginnings often abound during the New Moon period.
Admittedly, you may. have to wait until Mercury turns direct on October 2nd or returns to Libra on October 10th before plans get the go-ahead, but don’t let this stop you sowing seeds.
Plus, you have action planet Mars in Gemini and your work and lifestyle sector throughout September. In fact, Mars won’t leave this sector of your horoscope until March 2023, an unusually long time for Mars to be in one star sign.
Therefore, whatever you’re starting this month is likely to continue and you’re wise to get the right people on your side. Find your team, employ someone new and work those all-important connections.
