You just wish life would settle and things would go back to normal. The Moon is in Cancer as this horoscope begins and that means in YOU. So of course you’re thinking about you and your body – as you should be! September is your month of self-expression and communication, and you coming out of your crab shell, doing more than just the survival shuffle.
Recent successes in your career and work life have got life feeling much better and more manageable – and even hopeful feeling. Money is more blessed now, with benefic Venus blessing your second house of cash, and Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing. And this means self-nurturing, too. Go ahead and buy that special something you love for yourself!
Speaking of spending, I see you spending a lot on a project close to your heart – and it’s worth every penny. Happy news for you who have suffered, feeling stuck and stymied in order to save money. Go for your dreams, however partners may protest!
Your home, even a second home, is where it’s at, and a streamlining has happened quickly in your neighborhood and you learned to create more useful liaisons and in-roads with people and resources in your immediate environment. Yay, dear Crab! This is getting you to circulate and chat more. All this really from the need to branch out and to create more breathing space for yourself. To find your tribe, to be able to chat casually with your neighbors and sib types.
Your sister, brother, cousin (and sometimes neighbor) figure largely this month. The news should be good – for this month anyway – as you have four benefics in your third house. You have in here:
Life-saving, awesome Sun
New Moon Saturday, August 27 (the Moon is your ruler)
Brilliant wordsy planet Mercury
Blessing Venus, planet of love and beauty (and occasionally, money)
Meaning, also, profit in communication.
The third house is traditionally ruled by Gemini and also covers the internet and social media. (If you have anything important to do online, do it now.)
Your third house rules:
All forms of communication
The internet and social media
All forms of transport, especially buses, trains, and cars
Expressing yourself through movement, also hands, arms, shoulders
Siblings, sibling-like friends, (those old friends you can squabble with), cousins, and neighbors
Your neighborhood
Short trips and visits
Analysis
Publishing and recording
Your communicative power will be felt by all who know you. You have a particularly powerful effect on the internet and through writing and recording this August.
This is all good news. Even money will be better. The twists and turns of July so far have been enough for any Cancer – but now it starts to go more smoothly.
You make great strides, Crab, but it is important to stay practical and realistic, and to be safety conscious. Accidents can happen. Also please steer clear of polluted environments and people. Viruses can be rampant; make sure to keep your computer safe too.
You have a liberating new Moon in Virgo approaching your third house September 27 and transportation or logistic issues will need to be addressed. Such as cars, trains, buses, traveling to a certain place over and over. You may have to decide whether it is worth it to put your money into your present get-around method or vehicle, or whether there’s a better option to consider.
Soon you’ll be asked to dump what isn’t working, to pare down, to cut your losses, and to move on. It also may be time to consider a new educational or advertising strategy, to upgrade your skills, or to move in an altogether new direction re career or social involvement. At some point you’ll need to confront whatever personal essential, dilemma, or relationship issue you’ve been avoiding. Relationship partners have certainly been acting quite insane…
You have a lot more power than you realize, especially when you get angry and speak out. This has positive effects.
The new Virgo Moon September 27 also gives you endless support to FIX things. Build. Make better. As a Virgo does. To Prioritize.
After the excesses and exaggeration of Leo in public a very different emphasis is coming our way. During Virgo Month (August 22 – September 23) show offs will be out, making repairs will be in.
Virgo is the “virgin” as in virgin olive oil, the purest of essences. Virgo is all about purity, so over the next month organic becomes a stronger force.
Virgo Moon loves to fix things. Make all better.
Virgo loves to analyze too…to draw attention to the flaws and pitfalls. Necessary as along the way you will learn to develop added resourcefulness in problem-solving and how to stretch your assets when you need the added / extra cover. Time management and personal follow-through also become priorities; you can’t afford to let things slide. Another wonderful benefit is the humbling of your evaluations of yourself and others, as your absolutes will be challenged.
For you, the greatest improvements happen in your second financial house. Ironically, this also improves your self-esteem and self-love. The second house also rules self-worth! Paring down will make you feel better about yourself! Declutter, toss out, minimalize. Incredible strength and new energy is released when you do this.
As much as you hate change, try to feel grateful, Cancer, as it will ultimately be for the best, weeding something out that was not helping your progress. While you may have critical decisions to make, at least you are being presented with more to think about, and this in itself is a good thing.
You’re very concentrated on an old wish or goal and you have plenty of time to accomplish it.
And you will, dear Crab! No fear!
Something’s new on the home front, that’s for sure.
Expect all activity and thought and feelings in this area to shift, and very nicely. You will not ever be the same again, dear Crab.
You will need to plan your time more carefully once the changes begin to come in.
For right now, as you’re reading this horoscope for example, you’re probably a little tired of thinking about all this anyway. Maybe you just need some good ole LOVING! You have been working and keeping on for soooooo long. Please, I beg of you, take some time off to go on some dates.
Yes, DATES. I said it.
Whether you are single or married, you need to go on some regular old-fashioned DATES. And that rattled feeling that has been rattling around inside of you will start to leave. Peace will come.
Pallas in your sign Tuesday, September 6, brings wisdom to the question of self and body. How much are you going to take? Some of this concerns your home, as Mercury goes retrograde in your fourth house September 9 to October 2.
By October 2, the mystery will be solved. Next month’s horoscope!

Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.
– September, 1819 by William Wordsworth
