Your daily horoscopes for Monday September 9, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday September 9
Your productivity ratchets up at least three notches starting today as Mercury swings back into Virgo for a retrograde-free trip through your practical sixth house of service until September 26. Take advantage of this celestial alignment to do things like set up an accounting app or gather clothes to resell on Depop. Decluttering, sorting and systematizing will free up your headspace for more important things over the coming few weeks. The sixth house also covers health and wellness, pumping you up for your fall workouts, but consider luxuriating in a little decadence with a long steam or sauna session afterward.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday September 9
What fires you up, Taurus? You’ve got the green light to gush as Mercury, the winged communicator, sails back into Virgo for its second, retrograde-free pass through your fifth house of creativity and pleasure until September 26. You have a few things to shout about, and you could be driven to express yourself in new and exciting ways. For example, if you love cooking, you might toy with the idea of launching a blog where you can share thoughts about the sustainability of our food systems. You’re likely to find a loyal audience if you’re willing to be thoroughly candid about your beliefs—and the stars are aligned to help with that. Aim to be more honest about your feelings and practice being playfully direct for the rest of the month.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday September 9
Settle down, Gemini. Maya Angelou said the ache for home lives in all of us, and you might feel that twinge as your ruler, Mercury, sails back into Virgo for a retrograde-free pass through your domestic fourth house. It’s a great idea to start gathering dream spaces on Pinterest and Houzz, but Mercury will remain in Virgo until September 26, so you don’t have to get started right this second. During this cycle, your mind will be occupied with a search for comfort and security. Spend time today with the people—particularly the women—who adore you just as you are. Ah, it feels good to let your hair down!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday September 9

Between now and September 26, you could be prosperity-bound. Nothing will happen without your diligent efforts, so spend some time today researching and strategizing.
