Leo September 2025

WEALTHY LEO! You have an extremely dramatic Solar Eclipse (the Sun is your natural ruler) New Moon approaching September 21 and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re not already experiencing its effects. Your ruler lights up your second financial house ruling your money and your possessions and opens a door which will soon be impossible to close.

It marks a new financial arrangement in your life. Take a breath! For it is positive, and it benefits you. It joins lovey Venus, who sprinkles fairy dust wherever she walks and your ruler the awesome Sun — how could it NOT be positive?

In fact, I’d say you can make a fortune this September and you achieve whatever you set your mind to, as long as you stay practical. Let Venus take care of it. Venus also adds to your general well-being, self-love, and confidence. So don’t cry – for long – over lost dreams and past friends. Your future is calling you now. From all directions.

For in your second house of finances and self-worth you have:

Awesome, life-giving Sun – your natural ruler

A new exacting Virgo Moon August 23

Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury from September 2 (to September 18)

Beauty Queen Venus, planet ruling love and beauty from September 19 (to October 13)

The dramatic Virgo Solar Eclipse New Moon September 21

And your second house, traditionally ruled by practical Taurus, covers these areas of your life:

Money and finances

Possessions

All your finances and financial agreements

Self- value

Self-worth

Self-esteem

Resources

Safety

Security

Your income

The element of soap opera leaves your personal life. By soap opera I mean repetition, the predictable, the obvious drama, which I’ve addressed in past months’ horoscopes.

Worry about old losses ceases after September 2 when Mercury leaves your sign to enter your financial house. Remind yourself it gets worse before it gets better. Darkest before dawn. As love is to come, so before is bitter. So the last week of August is kind of going to be like a world barbecue. The new World Fair. But more people get killed. More violent acts are committed. It’s not a pleasant time.

You’re going to be called in like Shirley Temple was during the war, to cheer up the troops. 1940s style. The spotlight is on you and how you look and how you – also – used to look. (We kind of like how you used to look. A better look for you. Happier.) Lots of talk about launching you further into the public. Concentrate diligently on manners and graciousness. You will need to make lots of excuses. Some apologies. You have been filming the documentary on you for too long. Look where Leo is in your chart. For you, it’s you. But now find out what house it’s in. That tells you everything!

Do not worry if there have been communication glitches in your life. This is the time, as this transformation occurs from your private to your public self (that part of you which is shared with others) that you will find yourself becoming impatient. Not to worry.

I have always seen transformation like a snake shedding its skin. Like the walrus who lay his skin in the sun to dry while he took a swim.

It’s scratchy. Change. People do not like to change. Animals don’t like change. It’s a natural, but a very uncomfortable, process. It ITCHES.

If you’re angry, dear Lion, you’re angry. So ROAR!!!

Even more, and perhaps best yet, I see no solitary Leos by next year. Isn’t that a trip? How could all the Leos in the world have connected with someone by then? Easy. Let me tell you.

You have two eclipses this September, 2 weeks apart from each other. A Pisces lunar eclipse full Moon September 7, when I see the world going mad, and a Virgo solar eclipse new Moon September 21. The second eclipse is much friendlier and more supportive than the first!

Eclipses catapult us into alternate or unplanned directions. These two affect your very sense of self and presence in the world. Due to the Uranus transit your financial news during the first one will be shocking and unexpected. It may even hit you as rude or abrupt. Feel grateful, dear Leo, as it will ultimately be for the best, leading to cutting something out that was not helping your progress. You’ll be able to cut an expenditure that was spiraling out of control, and / or that had outlived its usefulness.

So how does your mega fortune this September come about?

Amazing short story writer Alice Munro, who has her ascendant in Leo, writes,

Woo your distant selves.

Time to honor the hidden parts of yourself.

All of them.

For instance, you may suddenly feel yourself experiencing anxiety over a choice you have recently made.

It is perfectly understandable that you would feel this way now, sweet lion.

Rather than stressing about it, take time away from the situation. Take long walks (by yourself.) You have not had a certain part of you to yourself for a while now.

I repeat: Do not stress about it.

Woo your distant self. That self that seems to have been buried in the background for the last two years. Oh, Leo! What a loss that was! And yet – of course, necessary, for the growth of what you had to give to others.

Leo is the most generous sign, hands down. No doubt there.

So when Leo becomes isolated, the universe intervenes.

Remember that the universe turns around your ruler the Sun, not the other way round. You’re meant to be very much in the world with us, dear Lion.

Your majesty. Your warmth. Your fire. Your love.

Mars affects your third house of communications, especially writing, and your neighbors. Leo doesn’t want the party to be over. But it’s time to step off the stage, just for a teensy bit and woo and restore yourself.

I am so excited by the transformation coming up for you here.

Follow your instincts. As September continues, you will feel the need to – simply put – get back to work and to your control levers. And life feels it’s as it should be.
