“Once I started loosening up and got out of my head, I felt transported to this alternate universe.”

Mercury retrograde may be over (phew!), but you’ll still find yourself in a reflective mood in your weekly horoscope for September 1 to 7, 2024 thanks to a few other retrogrades going down this week.

The week starts off with Uranus going retrograde in Taurus on September 1. When rebellious change-maker Uranus pivots directions in the sky, it encourages you to reflect on risks you want to take, situations and people that leave you feeling confined and restricted, and your own evolution. You could learn surprising news today or have a breakthrough. Expect for some last-minute surprises to pop up throughout your day.

On the same day, Pluto retrograde re-enters Capricorn for the last time in your lifetime. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 (!), and this marks its final tour before it re-enters Aquarius on November 19, where it will remain until 2043. Pluto’s movement into Capricorn asks you to confront power struggles and fears regarding the past, tradition, history, and your legacy. Are you working toward goals that are authentic to you, or are you living to please someone else?

Once Mars enters Cancer on September 4, you’ll be acting based on instinct. But you might also bottle up your frustrations, so find a healthy outlet for your anger.

Healing conversations unfold on September 2 when Mercury in Leo mingles with Chiron in Aries. Friendships and relationships benefit from being vulnerable with one another and asking for support. On the same day, there’s a new moon in Virgo, which invites you to change up your habits and come up with a plan for your future. It’s the tiny tweaks you start to make today that will ultimately bring about the biggest shifts and results you desire.

Also on September 2, Mars in Gemini slams into Neptune in Pisces to stir up confusion. You may also feel low energy, or caught up in some anxious thoughts. This is a healthy day to process your emotions through a creative outlet. The next day on September 3, Venus in Libra syncs up with the south node (a point in the southern hemisphere where the moon and sun’s orbits intersect that represents karma and past life experiences). The potent connection urges you to release old relationship attachments that have run their course.

Mars, the planet of anger and action, enters Cancer on September 4. The next few weeks, you’re acting based on your instincts and feelings. You’ll also feel more called to defend and protect those you love. Mars in Cancer can also have you bottling up your frustration and lead to passive-aggressive behavior, so be proactive and find a healthy outlet for your anger. (Boxing class, anyone?) Mercury in Leo bumps into Uranus in Taurus on September 6, making interactions and conversations odd, inspiring, or jarring.

The week wraps up with the Sun in Virgo locking eyes with Saturn in Pisces on September 7. This marks a moment of maturity, responsibility, and possibly sacrifice. You could step into a role that requires more commitment on your end, like a promotion, or agreeing to care for a loved one going through a hard time. This can also bring up feelings of self-doubt and self-criticism. Be gentle with yourself and know this heavy energy will pass in a few days time.
