<p>Mercury may be in retrograde this September but that is not going to change the fact that this Virgo season will be filled with exciting opportunities.

Read your September 2023 horoscope to know what this Virgo season has in store for your star sign.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">VIRGO (23 August – 22 September)</h3>

<p>Born under the Virgo star sign, you are great at thinking with practicality and logic. While this has made you appear less compassionate around others, this September, some incidents will change the way people perceive you. They will begin to appreciate your thought process and even ask for your opinions and actually take them seriously.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While this sudden change, especially from your partner, may confuse you at the beginning, you should try not to overthink and go with the flow. Your needless suspicions can only have a negative impact but accepting them could benefit your relationship. So, though it may be in your nature to think critically, it is best to set aside that characteristic of yours, at least for the time being.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LIBRA (23 September – 22 October)</h3>

<p>While your past self might have felt discouraged by the many hurdles you have to overcome to taste victory, you are more mature now, so you understand that success does not come easily. This month, you will find happiness in knowing that you have put in your best efforts in the things you do. (Libra of the Month: Atthaphan Phunsawat, Thai Actor, 4 October 1993)</p>

<p>September could turn out to be the most exciting month for you, as you will find yourself involved in projects that you are highly passionate about.

<p>You are feeling a sense of despair but now is the time to stay optimistic, Sagittarius. Life can be more exciting for you if you learn to pay attention to the new beginnings in life rather than pondering over what has ended. September is the right time for you to unwind and focus on your health and personal life before you become busy. (Sagittarius of the month: Sebastian Croft, British Actor, 16 December 16)</p>

<p>Given the planetary alignment this month, you will find September to be less exciting but you may not be very concerned about feeling bored on some days.

<p>In the last couple of weeks, you were probably focusing on all the things that are missing from your life and that has only made you feel low.

Here is your September 2023 Horoscope

Rat’s Tale: With the rodent rampant for the coming year, what does destiny have in store for you?

<p>The Mercury Retrograde phenomenon has spread like wildfire in recent years, passed on from the enlightened to the uninitiated every time this astral conjunction makes its presence felt. Not too long ago, it went mainstream, suddenly co-opted into the celebrity world.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33727" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6.jpg" alt="Mercury Retrograde" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-6-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>Since then, it’s become a media staple, feted and analysed by the likes of <em>Vogue </em>and the <em>New York Times,</em> with the former happily enlightening its readers as to “What to shop for During Mercury’s Retrograde”. Even the relatively sane <em>Travel &amp; Leisure</em> magazine got in on the act, grimly advising its 4.8 million readers on “How to Avoid Travel Nightmares While Mercury Is in Retrograde.”</p>
<p>Mercury Retrograde’s reputation as a cosmic prankster, a kind of eccentric stellar interventionist adept at pulling the rug on unwary mortals some 48 million miles away, has clearly been well-established. That does, however, leave one question – What Exactly Is It?</p>
<p>Well, thousands of years ago, the astrologers of classic times, spotted a star (actually the planet Mercury) moving backwards across the firmament. This is somewhat unusual and even contrary to the expectations of NASA, with its website blithely informing the cosmically-curious: “Normally, the planets move west-to-east (prograde) through the stars at night.”</p>
<p>With apparently little respect for NASA’s view as to how a well-brought-up universe really ought to behave, three to four times a year, Mercury does, indeed, appear to turn tail. This sees it conspicuously travelling on a retrograde east-to-west path, as if doing a spot of galactic reversing.</p>
<p>Disappointingly, this is actually an optical illusion, a consequence of the fact that Earth’s orbital progress is somewhat faster than its far-distant neighbour.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33728" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7.jpg" alt="Mercury Retrograde" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/700x466-7-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></p>
<p>Such anodyne astrophysics, however, have done little to deter astrologically-minded opportunists. Leavened with a mishmash of mythology – both Greek and Roman to be on the safe side – Mercury Retrograde has been successfully repackaged as an anthropologically-significant occurrence.</p>
<p>One premium rate astrologer who has clearly managed to weather the more malignant aspects of the Mercury Retrograde phenomenon is Larry Schwimmer, a US-based life coach and the founder of <em>Astrodecision.com.</em></p>
<p>Whenever Mercury Retrograde occurrs, Schwimmer maintains that all forms of all communication are compromised, saying: “Mercury, after all, does rule the mind, mental clarity, speech, self-expression and overall communication.”</p>
<p>Perhaps surprisingly, given that it is such an exact science, not every astrologer agrees. Dismissing Schwimmer’s baneful prognostications, Annabel Gat, astrologer-in-chief for the Vice online media group, says: “Do what you got to do when you have to do it. Mercury be damned.”</p>
<p>Perhaps even less surprisingly, many working in the more demonstrable sciences are even more dismissive, with Michael Shera, curator of the American Natural History Museum’s Astrophysics Department, speaking for many when he says: “There is absolutely no evidence or scientific justification as to how Mercury – or any other planet – could have any impact whatsoever on life on Earth. In fact, astrology has no more of a scientific basis than alchemy or a belief in unicorns.”</p>

<p>Mercury next goes retrograde on the 22<sup>nd</sup> of this month, staying that way until 15 April. If, during that period, you find yourself stuck at an airport, with a fritzed iPhone, peering at the smouldering remains of the Himawari 9 weather satellite, the day after starting a new job, and your ex suddenly turns up, then you might want to give matters astrological greater approbation in the future.</p>
<p>In all likelihood, however, the worst thing that will happen to you during the Mercury Retrograde period is that one of your more otherworldly nodding acquaintances will initiate a chat about the malignant planetary alignment that misappropriated his Octopus Card or some such astrally-decreed disaster on the domestic front. Some predictions, alas, are way more likely to come to pass than others.</p>

This time you are needed far more than you have need. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Ox of the Month: Faludi Mubarak Amish, Bahraini Professional Football Player, 27 February, 1985</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>TIGER: </b>Solo tigers, this is the month when you might actually be tempted to finally change your relationship status on Facebook. Your intimacy with one individual is deepening. What was just a bit of fun is now more serious. For those in relationships, temptations are high, but indiscretion has never suited you. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Tiger of the Month: Kevin Tsai, Taiwanese Television Host, 1 March, 1962</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>RABBIT: </b>Whether participating or spectating at a sporting event, someone else’s rash action could have repercussions for your wellbeing. On the weekend of the 20/21, a change of plan is recommended as this might see you avoid a potentially embarrassing reunion with someone you thought you had seen the last of. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Rabbit of the Month: Anne Suzuki, Japanese actress, 27 April, 1987</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>DRAGON: </b>Be extra careful when signing contracts this month as not everything is as it seems. Legal issues surround you, with the consequences of one particular suit far from what it might initially seem. Travel is also in the offing, with visiting a one-time favorite locale likely to stir more than just nostalgia. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Dragon of the Month: Yu Goings-on, Taiwanese writer, 21 October, 1928</em></p>
<p><b>SNAKE: </b>The anxiety levels associated with one particular relationship are set to soar. While it has been of concern for some time, you have always seen it as manageable, but you are deluding yourself. Unfortunately, you have little choice but to calm the situation. Extricating yourself – though desirable – would be the nuclear option. <em>Snake of the Month: Ross Cronje, South African Rugby Union Footballer, 26 July, 1989</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>HORSE: </b>Your financial prospects are well-starred this month and it could be that a significant increase in your net income is on the cards. Don’t let these monetary preoccupations distract you unduly, however. Somebody close to you has need of your attention at the moment, but is unwilling to flag up their situation. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Horse of the Month:</em> <em style="line-height: 1.5;">Mao Asada, Japanese competitive figure skater, 25 September, 1990</em></p>
<p><b>GOAT: </b>Heart or head is your choice this month, with a real loss inevitable whichever way you ultimately commit. You could also see it, though, as a choice of two winning routes. Thank hard, though, your choice will be irrevocable and the losing party will be a stranger to you once you decide. <em>Goat of the Month: Tie Yak Na, Hong Kong table tennis player, 13 May, 1979</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>MONKEY: </b>Rein in the more out-going aspects of your personality for a few weeks at least. You are starting to get something of a reputation for being more noise than substance in certain quarters. While it suits some people to represent you in this way in terms of their own agenda, it’s best that you frustrate their attempts with a more statesmanlike approach. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Monkey of the Month: Susan Woodcock, American Entrepreneur, 5 July, 1968</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>ROOSTER: </b>An unexpected phone call will change the whole course of the next three months. While bad news is not necessarily in the offing, there is a surprising development that will see you faced with a tough decision. An opportunity you thought long lost will resurface, though this really will be the final window.</span><em style="line-height: 1.5;"> Francis Ceridian, French Contemporary Perfumer, 14 May, 1969</em></p>
<p><b>DOG: </b>There is an anniversary looming and it may be one that you have forgotten. If so, you are the only one that has. Play it down and riff on the uncertainty of others before pulling off a surprise commemoration. Recapture the spirit of that time with one special musical number. <em>Dog of the Month:</em> <em>Rob Van Dam, American Professional Wrestler, 18 December, 1970</em></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><b>PIG: </b>The time is right for a leap of faith. You are looking for a certainty that won’t materialize and you will have to trust to instinct and the benevolent aspect of another’s star sign to convert one particularly cherished dream into something far more tangible. </span><em style="line-height: 1.5;">Pig of the Month: Carlos Ismael Noriega, Peruvian Former NASA Astronaut, 8 October, 1959</em><em style="line-height: 1.5;">)</em></p>
