Aquarius Monthly Horoscope

You plus who? Relationships are a major theme this month, especially in the first three weeks. For starters, the Sun is in Virgo and your intimate eighth house until September 23. On top of that, Mercury, the planet of communication and technology, is retrograde in Virgo until September 15, which could bring back people from your past or stir up some old issues.

You’ve had your fill of that already, Aquarius, since love planet Venus has been retrograde since July 22, a six-week backtrack through Leo and your partnership zone that put you in the cosmic crosshairs. We’re happy to report that Venus will correct course and turn direct (forward) on September 3. Even better? The back-online love goddess will linger in Leo until October 8, helping you make up for lost time and rekindle any flames that may have dimmed.

Still, taking your time with any decisions is the wisest path now. All five of the slow-moving outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, your ruler Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are retrograde essentially all month. You may be navigating some deep-seated changes around money, stability and home, all while processing limiting subconscious beliefs rooted in your childhood. With all that running in the background, you may need to stop and let yourself feel your feelings—a healthy activity that Aquarians often forget to do!

Your sunny outlook returns on September 23, when the Sun shifts gears into Libra and your optimistic, worldly ninth house. Emerge from that Virgo season cocoon and shake off the heaviness. Travel, study or entrepreneurial ventures could take flight, especially since motivator Mars is also in Libra this whole month. An exciting message or conversation could pop up with the September 29 Aries full supermoon. Keep your devices charged—you never know who might slide into your DMs now!
