Your Cancer Monthly Horoscope for September

The new Moon in Virgo on September 2 coincides with a new contract or exciting idea. You are mentally stimulated! Maybe you make the decision to go back to school or you commit to learning a new skill or hobby, just for fun. Today can also bring developments and turning points to your relationships with siblings, BFFs, and extended family members. You could feel ready to bury the past and start fresh. Mars, the planet of action and frustration, enters your sign on September 4. For the next few weeks, you have a lot of momentum and drive, but with all that extra energy, you may also be a bit clumsier, so move through your days with a little caution. Any repressed anger or frustration also bubbles up to the surface. You might find yourself getting into more conflicts, but it’s in the name of advocating for yourself.
