September 2025 horoscopes: Hot hookups, cold truths, and cosmic shakeups

Love turns intense as eclipse season tests what’s real and worth keeping

Summer is going out with a spicy bang, as love planet Venus is in the passionate and fiery sign of Leo through the first few weeks of the month, while lusty planet Mars is in the flirty and romantic sign of Libra. However, the juiciest part of September’s astrology gets stirred up during the back-to-back series of eclipses that fall on September 7th and September 21st, both of which can bring major changes and developments in partnerships and life in general. Once Libra season and the autumn equinox hit on September 22nd, cosmic lovers Venus and Mars will have changed signs, too, bringing lots more insight, attention, and depth to relationships. Get ready!

Virgo

August 23rd - September 22nd

Happy birthday season, Virgo! The lunar eclipse on September 7th is here to shake up your relationships, pushing you to let go of delusions and embrace connections that are based on truth and alignment. You’ll have some post-eclipse clarity mid-month that can help you decide how to move forward in your relationships. Once amorous Venus enters your sign on September 19th, you’ll feel a lot more romantic and capable of pulling all that you desire into your orbit. Enjoy the magic.

Libra

September 23rd - October 22nd

Passion is your fuel during these final weeks of summer, as sexy planet Mars is in your sign, making you extra bold about chasing your desires (and extra lusty, too). If you’re looking to meet someone new, mid-month is a good time to go mingle and make the first move. Your birthday season starts on September 22nd, so the solar spotlight is on you and you’ll have everyone’s attention, if you want it. Let your confidence shine and you’ll attract all the right people.

Scorpio

October 23rd - November 21st

The lunar eclipse on September 7th is taking you on an emotional deep dive of your dating and sex life, pushing you to let go of your fears and find the joy and passion in love again. Is your need for control stopping you from embracing the true nature of romance? Once the autumn equinox hits, sexy planet Mars zooms into your sign, making the last third of the month the lustiest of all. Your libido is high and so is your confidence, so enjoy the spicy vibes.

Sagittarius

November 22nd - December 21st

Love is always an adventure, but these last few weeks of summer will feel like an especially wild ride if you keep an open mind. Try something new with a partner and get a little more experimental when it comes to both relationships and sex, especially once mid-month rolls around. The eclipses might feel like they’re shaking up your personal foundations, which could impact romance, but don’t let it shake your confidence. You’re just as desirable as ever.

Capricorn

December 22nd - January 19th

Surface-level relationships won’t feel very fulfilling as you kick off the month, so seek out deeper conversations and more raw romantic connections. While your emotional self is craving meaning, you’ll also have an itch for wild-hearted adventures, so mid-month onward is a time to experiment with something unusual in love. The solar eclipse on September 21st could shake up your perspective, allowing you to open your heart in ways you’ve never done before.

Aquarius

January 20th - February 18th

Love feels both sweet and spicy throughout the final weeks of summer, especially with amorous Venus in your partnership zone. If you’re looking to branch out and get more adventurous in your relationships, mid-month is a fabulous time to consider some unconventional ways to connect. You and your lovers are allowed to make your own rules. Once the autumn equinox hits, you’ll feel even more open to possibilities, so explore whatever feels right in your heart.

Pisces

February 19th - March 19th

This is a big month for your relationships, with the potential to bring honest conversations and meaningful breakthroughs. The lunar eclipse in your sign on September 7th will help strip away some of your insecurities, allowing you to honor yourself more truly when it comes to romance. Two weeks later, the solar eclipse dramatically opens a new chapter in your love life giving you more clarity and space to build something worthwhile with someone.

Aries

March 20th - April 19th

Lover Venus and lustful Mars are lighting up the two most romantic parts of your chart for the first few weeks of September, making it easy to express yourself through passion, sexuality, and connection. Things get especially steamy during the middle of the month, so plan a date night with someone special. Your relationships will take center stage once the autumn equinox hits, and it’s a good time to think about the ins and outs of what you want to commit to emotionally.

Taurus

April 20th - May 20th

The final weeks of summer are jam-packed with romance, bringing lots of dating prospects and new opportunities to highlight the passion in your connections. Mid-month mental breakthroughs could get you thinking about your relationship to passion. If the connections in your life aren’t bringing you joy, are they really worth your time? The solar eclipse on September 21st could bring you closer to an answer, and you’ll feel more prepared to make changes as needed.

Gemini

May 21st - June 20th

Isn’t flirting the most fun way to communicate? Luckily, this month brings you all sorts of opportunities to playfully connect with new people or bring some spicy banter into an existing relationship. This is especially true once mid-September hits, so put your passions into words. The refreshing breeze of the autumn equinox inspires you to find the magic in romance during the last third of the month, making everything feel a little bit sweeter.

Cancer

June 21st - July 22nd

Soak up all the sensual pleasures of the late summer during the first few weeks of September and let yourself be a little hedonistic. Once the autumn equinox hits, your libido gets an added boost of passion, thanks to lusty Mars entering your sex and dating zone. It’s your turn to make the first move, so initiate something fresh with a partner or ask someone out who’s been on your radar.

Leo

July 23rd - August 22nd

Glamorous Venus is lighting up your sign with its beauty and romance for the first few weeks of September, making it easy to attract whatever and whoever your heart desires. Use your charms to win over a crush or smooth over tensions with a lover. Passionate conversations could arise mid-month, allowing for deeper communication that leads to more meaningful connections overall. Don’t be afraid to speak your truth and ask for what you need.
