Your daily horoscopes for Monday September 4, 2023
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Keep that wallet on lockdown, Aries. Today, Jupiter the galactic gambler turns retrograde in your finance zone until December 30, cautioning against risk. Rework your budget and look for clever ways to not only save your pennies but earn higher interest on them as well. Instead of being the sole owner of a shareable item, think about teaming up with friends or neighbors on the purchase. Moderation is key, so don’t tighten your belt so much that you slingshot into a rebellious spending spree. Someone you worked with in the past could have a job offer for you or become a prosperous client over the coming four months. You might even get to travel for work—something that sounds fun but could become draining. Plan wisely or insist on having some of the meetings via conference call.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Get ready for a blessed downshift. With boundary-pushing Jupiter in Taurus since May 16, you’ve been on a rapid growth trajectory. But as you stretch and expand, it’s important to pause along the way and evaluate your progress. Today, Jupiter turns retrograde for four months, slowing your acceleration so you can access whether you’re traveling in the right direction. This is the time to develop your grandest visions behind the scenes—and make sure you haven’t thrown the baby out with the bathwater. When Jupiter resumes forward motion on December 30, you can pull back the curtain and wow the world with your talents!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Raise your hand if you’re ready for a sabbatical. Today, nomadic Jupiter turns retrograde in your twelfth house of healing until December 30. Visions of thatched tropical beach huts, yoga retreats or maybe just a lo-o-o-ong nap will dance through your head. Give yourself the break you deserve, even if that simply involves peeling a few items off your overbooked schedule so you have room to breathe and relax at home. This four-month phase is perfect for exploring your spiritual interests or plumbing the depths of your subconscious mind, perhaps with the help of a shaman or hypnotherapist. Self-knowledge is the key to freedom, after all.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Rest those butterfly wings, Cancer. Today, outgoing Jupiter makes its annual retrograde, slowing down your social mojo until December 30. Your popularity has been climbing toward the sky ever since Jupiter moved into Taurus and your social-networking house May 16. But as the radius of your inner circle expanded, did your dear old friends get short-changed of quality time? Pull back from “life of the party” mode and reconnect to your rock-steady squad. If you feel spread thin, experiment with different social groupings. Maybe your friends from disparate areas of your life COULD all get along. Collaborative projects would benefit from a slower timeline too. What’s the rush, anyway?
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Start sorting! You’ve got a whole lot of irons in the fire, Virgo—especially since daring Jupiter moved into your ninth house of travel and expansion this past May 16. As exciting as this growth spurt has been, your energy may be flagging. Today, Jupiter slips into a sleepy, four-month retrograde, providing a much-needed opportunity to assess and re-prioritize. With only 24 hours in the day, what projects are really worth giving your energy to? If you’re not ready to scale back, scale OUT: Find new recruits who can shoulder some of the work. Even if this cuts into the profits, you’ll have a bigger pie from which to slice when the red-spotted planet resumes forward motion on December 30.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Relationships don’t “just happen,” Libra; as you know, they require care and feeding. Optimistic Jupiter turns retrograde in your eighth house of intimacy and permabonding until December 30, marking the time to reevaluate the bond between you and your S.O. Do you still get butterflies on a date night? This cycle helps you slow it down and bring back a little va-va-voom. Do you share finances with anyone? Write out a crystal-clear list of who pays for what and how you’ll divvy up any profits. Yes, this can be a touchy subject, but having a reference like this could save your relationship in the long haul.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
We don’t have to tell you, Scorpio, that it takes two to tango. While not every relationship is PRECISELY 50/50, you shouldn’t be the one putting in all the work, every time. Today, boundary-pushing Jupiter turns retrograde in your relationship house until December 30, giving you clarity on the status of your partnerships. This refers to all of your closest bonds, whether it be a romantic partner, friend or colleague. You’ll have to meet somewhere in the middle, but a compromise should NOT feel like a sacrifice. Single? Romance could heat up with someone you met while traveling—perhaps a spicy hookup from this past summer’s festivals or the adorable shopkeeper who helped you pick out the perfect summer book.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Since May 16, your vitality has been in the hands of your ruler, generous Jupiter. Hopefully that has brought you outstanding health and energy levels. Work has been nonstop, and people may be approaching you left and right for collaborations. But proceed with caution, Sagittarius: it’s easy to say “yes” to everything, but you are only one centaur. Today, Jupiter takes a snooze, turning retrograde until December 30. Time to slow it down a little and make sure you’re getting adequate rest and nourishing food between all those cardio classes and conference calls. To avoid stress, don’t book your calendar to max capacity. That said, you can devote time to projects that bring you a sense of purpose.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Intermission time! Auspicious Jupiter turns retrograde in your fifth house of fame until December 30, giving you a chance to slip backstage. Ever since Jupiter landed here May 16, you’ve been uncharacteristically flamboyant. For the next four months, you can squeeze in a little more solo Sea Goat time. Focus on what makes your heart sing—and don’t feel compelled to share it with anyone. Your star won’t fade, Capricorn, it will only beam BRIGHTER by the summer. If you can’t seem to escape the spotlight, team up with a coach to help improve your technique. Before you know it, you’ll be ready for the big debut.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
There’s no place like home—even if it happens to be a home away from home. Today, worldly Jupiter turns retrograde in Taurus and your fourth house of domestic affairs. Between now and December 30, spend more time with your family. A parent or female relative may need extra support before the year ends. If you develop a case of cabin fever, rent an apartment-style Airbnb and try living like a resident in another city for a week or three. The Aquarius lair could turn into a creation station too! Set up the music studio or writing nook where you can tuck away and let your imagination run wild. This cycle can bring emotional epiphanies galore, especially when you’re relaxing in the safety of your sanctuary.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday September 4
Open mouth, insert ankle boot? Today, as truth-bearer Jupiter—your sign’s co-ruler—pivots retrograde in Taurus and your third house of communication, you’ll need to be more mindful of what you say, type or text. With the candid planet in reverse until December 30, it may be wise to keep more thoughts to yourself. Better yet, how about using them as cathartic inspiration for an E.P., a (semi-) fictional short story or another creative work? Life imitates art, but your nemesis doesn’t need to know that she inspired that edgy graphic novel you penned. Since retrogrades rule the past, get back in touch with old friends from across the globe. You could reunite at a fall festival or arrange an apartment swap over the coming four months.
