Your September 2026 Horoscope for Leo
by Susan MillerYou will have to be careful next month, however. Two important “personal” planets will go retrograde—Venus and, later, Mercury. Personal planets are the ones that orbit closest to Earth (Mars is included among them). We feel the retrogrades of personal planets much more directly than we do when an outer planet goes retrograde.
This means you must accomplish as much as possible in September. You will find the pace will be quick in September but far less so in October and during the first half of November. Let’s get into it.
Venus will be retrograde from October 3 to November 13. Venus will start to retrograde in Scorpio first, but by October 25, she will slip back into Libra, the sign Venus rules, so it will be a strong retrograde. This will not be a favorable time for single Leos to meet a new love interest. It will not be the time to get engaged or married. Any matters that have to do with the heart need Venus, the planet of love, to be awake, strong, and vibrant on the day you take such an important step.
Venus also rules good looks, so either have your Botox, fillers, or face lift now in September or put it off until late November or December. Don’t wait too long, though, because Mars will retrograde from January 10 to April 1, 2027, and Mars rules the sharp instruments (needles or scalpels) that the dermatologist or surgeon would use to improve your looks. I am forecasting months ahead because, knowing you, dear Leo, your appearance counts. Keep in mind that after a planet goes direct, it is best to leave a space of days before taking action, as many days as you can muster. It takes a planet some time to regulate its orbit.
