Leo · September 2026

September 2026 for Leo: the planets moving through your chart this month, read from your Sun sign. Read your Rising sign too if you know it — it often fits even better.

Until 23 September

Your month's theme: the 2nd house of money & values

This month the Sun warms your 2nd house of money, possessions and self-worth, and asks: what do you truly value — and do you value yourself enough? Look honestly at what you earn, what you spend and what you keep purely out of habit.

It is a fine month for sorting your finances, clearing out belongings you no longer love and putting your time into skills that pay you back. Choose one beautiful, useful thing over ten cheap ones. A small money ritual helps: a green candle, a coin beneath it and a sprig of basil on the windowsill. Most of all, name your price, in work and in love. Self-worth is the root of every other kind of wealth.

From 23 September: the Sun moves into Libra, your 3rd house

Messages, errands, conversations and little journeys fill the weeks ahead now that the Sun is moving through your 3rd house. Your phone is busier, your mind runs faster and your neighbourhood suddenly seems full of signs. Pay attention. The Universe often speaks through a passing remark or a book that falls open at exactly the right page.

This is a lovely time to learn something short and practical, to write, to post, to pitch and to reconnect with siblings, cousins or the people on your street. Keep one notebook by your bed and another in your bag. Speak clearly, and listen even more clearly. One honest conversation this month can change the direction of everything that follows.

11 September

New Moon in Virgo

This New Moon falls in your 2nd house, the perfect moment to plant seeds for money, possessions and self-worth. What would make you feel secure and abundant? Write it on paper, place a coin and a bay leaf on top and light a green candle beside them. Then take one practical step this week, such as a budget or a fairer price for your work. Prosperity starts with believing you deserve it.

26 September

Full Moon in Aries

With the Full Moon in your 9th house, a journey, a course of study or a belief may reach its turning point. You may suddenly understand something that had puzzled you for months. Release limiting beliefs and the rules you were taught but never chose. Write them down, burn them and open a window to the night air. Your truth is larger than you were told.

Mind & messages: Mercury in Libra, your 3rd house

Mercury feels at home in your 3rd house, and your mind is buzzing. Messages fly, plans multiply and chats with siblings or neighbours bring useful news. Learn something, write something, send the email you keep drafting in your head. Short trips are lucky for ideas. Just don't scatter yourself across too many conversations at once. Choose your words with care, then let them travel where they need to go.

Love & pleasure: Venus in Scorpio, your 4th house

Venus moves into your 4th house, and home becomes your sanctuary. Buy flowers, light candles, cook for the people you love or invite someone special into your space. Family relationships can heal through small gestures of warmth. A modest touch of beauty at home goes a long way — a new cushion, a plant, a clean window. Place rose quartz by your door. Love that feels safe is the deepest kind.

Drive & desire: Mars in Cancer, your 12th house

Mars in your 12th house asks you to turn your energy inward. You may feel less driven outwardly and more tired than usual, so rest without guilt. This is a time for quiet work behind the scenes, for spiritual practice and for releasing anger you have kept hidden. Gentle movement such as stretching, walking or swimming helps. Trust it: your strength is gathering silently for what comes next.

The bigger picture: Jupiter in Leo, your 1st house

When Jupiter enters your 1st house, a year of personal growth begins. Confidence rises, doors open and other people see your potential more easily than before. This is your time to reinvent yourself, start bold projects and take up more space in the world. Watch only the urge to overdo things. Light a purple candle on Thursdays, Jupiter's own day, and ask for wisdom alongside abundance. You are expanding — let it happen.

The bigger picture: Saturn in Aries, your 9th house

With Saturn in your 9th house, the next few years invite you to build a philosophy of your own. Serious study, journeys taken with purpose and testing your beliefs against real life all belong here. You may commit to a course, a teacher or a spiritual path. Faith matures from borrowed ideas into lived wisdom. Read slowly and deeply. What you learn now becomes the compass for the rest of your life.
