Your September 2026 Horoscope for Scorpio
by Susan MillerDo not make appointments to improve your appearance during Venus retrograde because Venus rules attractiveness, and she has to be alert and strong to produce pleasing results. Schedule your Botox, fillers, or beauty treatments in September, or delay your appointments until December. If you want to go to your hairdresser or barber and completely change your hairstyle, do it now, in September, or delay the appointment until very late November. Trims or regular grooming are okay, but no radical changes. Men might not want to grow a beard or, especially, shave one off. Stick to the status quo. You might want to refrain from buying expensive jewelry as well, since Venus rules luxury items.
Concerning Botox, fillers, lasers, and other beauty treatments, as said, men and women should delay their plans when Venus is off duty—but not for too long. That’s because in January, February, and March, another one of the “personal planets” will retrograde. (There are three personal planets. They are the ones that orbit closest to earth and which you feel most directly when retrograde: Mercury, Venus, and Mars.)
Mars will retrograde in 2027 from January 10, until April 1—the entire first quarter of the year, so schedule your aesthetic treatments in September, late November, or at some point in December. Mars rules the sharp instruments the doctor uses on your face, whether the scalpel or the needle, so you would not want a dull Mars in retrograde during an elective procedure. (Medical emergencies are different and should be addressed immediately.)
There is another reason to “shake a leg,” as they say (meaning to get going and don’t linger!), while you are in the good month of September. Here is why:
You also need to avoid Mercury’s impending retrograde later next month from October 24 to November 13. (Yes, November 13 is the date both Venus and Mercury will go direct.) Unlike Venus, Mercury will retrograde in Scorpio the entire time. You will face some delays, and you may encounter a miscommunication, but you can guard against these situations by being alert and deliberate about all your actions.
