Today, Thursday September 24 2026, Saturn and Neptune begin their retrograde, a phase that lasts until December. The guidance is clear: don’t rush things, even if you’re tempted to.
Healing and deep thought ahead
For Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Libra, the day before will be filled with healing and deep thought. This is expected to help you gain greater clarity surrounding your wider purpose in life. Big realisations and conclusions will be drawn, if you give them the time to surface. Don’t run away from introspection.
Star sign forecasts for September 24
Aries (March 21 to April 20): With the Sun newly arrived in your opposite sign, who you feel drawn to and who you don’t can become a big theme for the next month. The shimmering energies of Neptune in your sign suggest not jumping to conclusions if you meet someone new. Neptune heightens sensitivities, but it can also blur our reality. Certainly not a time to over idolise anyone.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21): Whilst you may want to support the causes and people you are most invested in, do look to direct your energies carefully for the rest of this week. Your good intentions may be challenged by lower vitality, or a feeling of overwhelm. Even if you are someone who usually feels like pitching in and doing your bit, take moments to enjoy some personal quiet time.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21): Your creative instincts are boosted hugely for the rest of this week. There is no restriction on where this can shine through, be it through playing or listening to music, the arts, photography, or film. You may also find someone in your friendship group more intriguing. This could be purely platonic, but if it is more than that, your imagination can be at full blast.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23): With Saturn and Neptune in retrograde through to December, now joined by the healer Chiron, your worldly activities are powerfully in focus. This can be a time of gaining greater recognition, but also of potentially questioning what you are doing and considering changes. You could feel particularly conscious now of balancing home strands with work.
Leo (July 24 to August 23): What starts as a seemingly everyday conversation could turn into something more thought-provoking. You can find yourself very receptive to new ideas, to discussing, and exploring history, philosophy, or far-away places. Then again, if you have been drawn instinctively to a particular destination, it can call out to you in a powerful and alluring way.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23): The Sun is asking you to think carefully about what you value, not just in terms of everyday finances, but your own personal worth, and what the things you hold dear are. As he moves to the end of this week and opposes the dreamy Neptune, how this relates or connects to others can come up. If you meet someone with a business idea, do check it out very carefully.
Libra to Pisces: Focus and pampering
Libra (September 24 to October 23): You are likely going to feel a stronger desire to take a firm grip on your life direction. Good for you if so, but you may encounter someone who could subtly deflect or even drain you. This may not be intentional or sinister, but more because their energy, or how you connect with them, makes it difficult for you to keep your boundaries as firmly in place as usual.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22): If you get an opportunity over the next few days to enjoy a healing treatment, such as a holistic therapy, a spa day, or a gentle walk in nature, enjoy it. Whilst being productive can give us a strong sense of personal satisfaction, occasionally letting go of worldly routines and expectations can feed our bodies and our souls. Look to pamper yourself, Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21): Your passion for wider vistas through what you read, your interests, and your appreciation of lots of different strands of knowledge mean that you can be open to flexing into new interests and going with the flow. This more mutable part of your nature is something that no other Fire sign has. From now through to the weekend, this can shine through brightly.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21): Even if you are a home lover, your appreciation of where you live and a quiet, peaceful environment could be to the fore. Then again, if you are not feeling settled, the Sun’s passage through the worldliest part of your chart, and link to the idealistic Neptune, could inspire you to reimagine what you’d prefer. Practicalities need to align to your vision though.
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19): People might focus on your appreciation of unique approaches, but with the stoic Saturn as your co-ruler, you also have a strong appreciation of tradition. What is undoubtedly true is that you are a communicator. Your talent for sharing ideas can be amplified now, but you can still combine a generous dose of common sense together with your inspiration.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20): Your mesmeric co-ruler Neptune gives you a perceptive appreciation of situations that some don’t have. You can absorb atmospheres so instinctively and pick up unspoken communication very skilfully. At times however, this dreamy vibe can make it harder to concentrate. Through to the weekend, try to stay focused, especially around finances.
