September saves its best for last where Sagittarius is concerned. On the 27th, Mars enters fellow fire sign Leo and your 9th house of travel, belief and the bigger picture, your own natural territory. Fire recognises fire, and this placement asks you to act rather than keep planning.
Jupiter, your own ruler, stays put in Leo all month, quietly building rather than making any sudden moves. The real story is what happens around it.
Venus shifts into Scorpio on the 9th, into your 12th house of rest, closure and whatever you would rather not look at directly. Not the easiest placement for a sign that prefers movement, but useful all the same. Whatever emotional loose ends have been trailing behind you, this is a good stretch to actually let them settle.
The New Moon lands in Virgo on the 11th, in your 10th house of career and public standing. A fresh start here is practical, not flashy: a professional habit worth building properly, a reputation worth tending to deliberately rather than trusting to sort itself out. Virgo rewards the unglamorous groundwork.
The equinox arrives on the 22nd, and the Sun crosses into Libra, your 11th house of friendships and community. For the following four weeks, the people around you matter more than usual. A group or collaboration worth investing real time in is likely to show itself.
A Full Moon lands in fellow fire sign Aries on the 26th, in your 5th house of creativity, romance and whatever you do purely because you want to. Fire signs make this kind of Full Moon easy to read: something creative or romantic reaches a natural high point, and the instinct is almost always right. Trust it rather than overthinking it.
The very next day, Mars arrives in Leo, your own natural house of travel, belief and the bigger picture, and it is genuinely comfortable there. Fire meets fire meets your own territory. If a trip, a course of study or a belief you have been quietly developing has been waiting for a push, the last days of September supply it.
Let Venus in your 12th house actually settle old business rather than moving straight past it. Do the unglamorous career groundwork the Virgo New Moon offers. Invest properly in the people the Sun highlights in your 11th house. Trust the creative or romantic instinct the Aries Full Moon brings. And when Mars reaches your own natural house on the 27th, act on the trip, the study or the belief instead of planning it further. If you want to see exactly where these transits fall in your own chart rather than the general Sagittarius picture, our sister site astromara.com runs a free natal chart on the same ephemeris used here.
Though all our readers love astrology, their working specialities are tarot and clairvoyance. They will not run your September transits, but they will read what is actually moving in your life right now. To see who is available and what they offer, the readers page is the place. If you want to understand what you are looking at once you have your chart, astromara’s Learn section walks through every sign, planet and house in plain language. Otherwise, see you under the next moon.
