September 2020 Horoscopes: What the Stars Have in Store for Your Love Life and Career

#WorkItOff

You may be feeling boxed in and devalued at every turn, especially by partners who are unsupportive of your professional goals. A major showdown has arrived; if you put your full focus and energy into pursuing career dreams, things will finally start to pay off over the next year, leading to feelings of personal autonomy and confidence. You can mitigate this month's restrictive, energy-draining vibes by keeping your eyes on the prize and working hard towards your ambitions.

#LoveHealsAllWounds

The cauldron of your inner psyche may be boiling over with ire and regret over past actions. You may need to embrace the fact that the feelings of cut-off, existential isolation you have been feeling for years now are due to your choices. You may have chased off loyal friends long ago, leaving you surrounded by sycophants and flakes. New romantic horizons could serve as a soothing balm that will heal all feelings of philosophical alienation. Opportunities for new love abound, so make sure to be out in the game.

#NetworkGlitch

You are one of the most gregarious signs out there, but for the next few months, your social life may be filled with nothing but non-stop drama, petty jealousy, senseless competition, and bare-knuckle arguments. You may want to temporarily hit the pause button on networking, and instead focus on creating the perfect cozy nest to escape to when you need some downtime. Even though you are not much of a homebody, laying low may be your best option until mid-September, so you can avoid crossed-wires that could burnout otherwise worthwhile friendships.

#ClashOfTheTitans

Every annoying, control-freak authoritarian will be jockeying for position and power in the workplace until mid-September. Arguments may rage out of control, as bossy people try to assert their will and dominance over others. Luckily, your laidback manner will come to everyone's rescue. Your cool-headed, easy-going communication style will be able to sway colleagues to your side, helping preserve a sense of calm and peace, as well as cementing your leadership during the year to come.

#OnTheSurface

Focusing on superficial things like money, possessions and looks will help keep you grounded this month. You have a myriad of opportunities to increase your income at work, especially during the first half of the month. Moreover, beauty-loving Venus is in your sign from the 6th, helping you put your best face to the world, quite literally. If you go too deep thinking about the more important, weighty things in life, you may descend into a spiral of stagnancy, anger and frustration, so try to keep things light.

#SeparateButUnited

After being manipulated by nebulous, confusing, hard-to-pin-down partners for the better part of a decade, a chance for healthy, solid, new love abounds this month. You may experience conflicted feelings — on one hand, you may want to rush into what seems like a very good thing, while on the other, you may be constructing unnecessarily high emotional walls based off past disillusionments. The chance to form a partnership with a truly kind-hearted, secure, soul mate could be at stake, so it is important to establish proper boundaries by taking things at a slow pace and showing just the right amount of affection. Follow your instincts.

#ARoomOfYourOwn

If you are living with a romantic partner, you may want to consider having separate residences in order to keep the romance alive, otherwise you may decide to cut things off and move out for good. A home filled with non-stop arguments, fights and power grabs is no place for such a peace-loving sign as yours to live. Try to carve out your own nurturing space where you can go to recharge your batteries and feel safe. Singles may find new love through existing social circles, so don't be afraid to ask friends to set you up.

#StrainedCommunications

You have a masochistic nature that compels you to bite off more than you can chew, and when the inevitable feelings of being overwhelmed come along, you often lash out aggressively at those around, only exasperating the situation. You need to step back, review the situation and honestly assess how many duties you can truly cope with, especially in terms of work, chores and caregiving. Make sure to schedule time to hang out with friends; it will do much to take the edge off.

#InternalAudit

You need to start tallying up the balance sheet of your income and expenses — both in terms of money, but also in affection and love. September is bringing huge opportunities to increase your earnings; this is an excellent time to seek new employment or ask for a promotion at work. At the same time, if you are squandering all your gains on petulant, spoiled children or lovers, you will always end up in emotional and monetary debt.

#GreatEscape

Even the world's most infamous dictators had rural, mountain retreats where they could go to decompress. Whether for an extended holiday or a weekend getaway, you should try to flee from the oppressive walls of your domestic environment, as often as possible this month. Your primary home could be a viper's den filled with arguments that try to undermine your authority and drag up old hurts. You will have a very difficult time maintaining leadership over rebellious housemates, who will rise against you at every turn. Travel, however, will fill you with inspiration and a laid-back sense of fun and adventure.

#BoundaryBreaking

Instead of keeping it all in, try and let it all out. The best way to slay your demons is by opening your heart to love and true intimacy. You have been dealing with an abundance of swirling emotional turmoil, and instead of talking things out, you may have a tendency to passive-aggressively snipe at those around you. Before playing the blame-and-shame game, try to re-establish trust and mutual understanding. Others are there to help, if you let them know you need it.

#SecretRomance

True love is closer than you think. Someone in your social circle may be secretly crushing on you, or you on them. This is an excellent time to make your move and get things off the ground. You may want keep new relationships on the down-low, however, or conniving, meddling friends may try to squash your potential for happiness through gossip or manipulation. Protect yourself from jealousy and envy by focusing on the sweetness of chivalrous romance.
