September 2021 Cancer Horoscope

Your empathic sixth sense is like already telling you this, but just in case it didn't: September is quite the emotional month.

Many transits are happening in Air signs, which often points at global mental unrest. There's a real sense of overthinking and analyzing our planet's current condition, and especially during Virgo season, frustration may be a thing you will have to bargain with. The month starts with Mars and Neptune opposing each other in your 3rd and 9th houses. These are both relatively internal houses and have a considerable focus on the way you see the world. Mars in the 3rd has strong opinions about the ethereal dreams of Neptune. You may be feeling like it is finally time to come out of your own shell and explore the world beyond your tiny bubble. You will likely be craving travel, or alternatively, there will be a need to run away from current situations. Be careful not to long too passionately for what is not possible at the moment. A lack of patience can be a real nuisance at the moment, but if you proceed carefully, you will see that not now does not mean not ever. You may have to put the big dreams aside for a second and focus on the smaller steps along the way to get there. Don't be afraid of postponing plans if they are not ready yet.

This month two points in the Moon's orbit will be conjunct. This is especially relevant to you as the Moon is the ruler of your sign. Lilith and the North Node will be transiting through your 12th house in the first few days, causing a strange mood to arise. Spending too much time alone may cause anxieties and restlessness, so make an effort to connect with your friends and entertain yourself. With Lilith in the 12th, you may have developed a habit of othering people as a form of self-defense. It may be time to let go of some of these defense mechanisms you have incurred, as moving forward, they may start to cause you more trouble than good. Cancers tend to either give people a billion chances or no chances at all. If you find yourself in one of these extremes, this transit is inviting you to find a middle term. Moving around like everyone is out to get you makes for a driven and independent personality, but at what cost? Count the blessings people have brought into your life, and you will realize that not everyone is evil. Sometimes adversity can be a matter of misunderstandings.

Further in the month, Lilith will also join Mercury and Saturn in a Grand-Trine between all the three air signs. This sparks mental energy, especially with the presence of Mercury in the transit. Though, the big theme you are invited to explore with this trine is the areas of your life you perhaps have been too controlling of. You may—in some aspects—be creating your own sense of security through micromanaging your relationships. You have to learn to either be more assertive and communicate what makes you feel uncomfortable to those you care about or quit having a passive-aggressive attitude. Especially with Lilith in the 12th house, there's an air of emotional dictatorship. Of course, you most likely don't do this on purpose. Still, these issues need to be addressed, so you don't become the bad guy. Even if you are just looking after your own needs, you can't be mad at people if you have not communicated how you feel. Additionally, even if you are making an effort to share your views, what has your tone been? Have you maybe been a little too accusatory? Sometimes this kind of feedback can be well deserved to those who have wronged you, but check your standards and ask yourself if you haven't taken things too far.

Moving along, the New Moon in Virgo asks you to do a check-up with how you work towards your goals. This may be a time where there's a sudden change of plans, and you have to look at your aspirations from a different angle. Know that any setbacks could actually be beneficial in the long run. Chances are the newfound perspective will make the final product better than it could have been. With Uranus also trining this New Moon in your 11th house, you may find that your community will provide generous support even through the delays. Still, it may not come in the way you expect. In this case, you will have to exercise flexibility and be open to going in a direction completely opposite to what you initially intended. Have faith, and the results will be extremely positive.

The Pisces Full Moon in your 9th house brings a deeper understanding of your current place in life. At this time, you may feel like you have a bird's eye view of your situation. There's a profound understanding of your strengths and limitations. If you don't let yourself be too startled by the awareness of what you have done wrong, the rights will surely outweigh the evils. Pisces is the sign of acceptance and going with the flow, and this Moon urges you to do just that. Don't be too hung up on where the stream is going, and pay attention to the view along the way. The co-presence of Neptune in this sign will also enhance your natural psychic abilities, so listen to the voice of the Universe and look for signs. Spirit has your best interest in mind, so don't be afraid of uncertainty.
