If you’re like me, you’re mourning the end of summer right now (RIP beach days and Aperol spritzes). There’s more to look forward to during autumn than just the return of pumpkin spice, though—your fall horoscopes are here to let you know what to expect for the next few months. Thankfully, all of the signs have something to look forward to this season—especially if they know how to best prepare for the months ahead.
We’ll all snap back to reality with the end of summer this year, thanks to Mercury retrograde taking over the end of August and eclipse season starting up again in September.

Aries
Summer’s over, which means it’s time for you to get back to regularly scheduled programming during September. Do a closet overhaul or take on a deep cleaning of your bathroom (yes, that means even cleaning the soap scum in the shower). Libra season will put a lot of emphasis on your personal relationships, especially with the October eclipse. Start thinking about where you want your relationship with your S.O. or the person you’re dating to go from here—whether it’s hitting a new milestone or recognizing that it’s not working out. The serious relationship talks will continue into November, too. Changes to your relationship status could happen around this time since the eclipse effects will continue throughout the fall.
Taurus
Virgo season means the fun doesn’t end for you after Labor Day, Taurus, as September will be filled with play and romance. It’s a great time to finally hop on the pickleball train or work on your creative outlets. Be sure to say yes to any invites because you may hit it off with someone you meet through friends, or you might make some fulfilling new connections to hang out with. By the time October rolls around, though, you’ll want to get back to your hardworking Taurus ways. Use this month to get caught up on work emails, establish an exercise routine, or clear out clutter from your home. Your horoscope for November reveals you could start dating or make it official with someone you met the previous month. If you already have a partner, November is a good month to prioritize spending time with them.
Gemini
As a Gemini, you enjoy traveling and exploring, but September will have you feeling like more of a homebody than usual. After a busy summer, schedule some nights in to do nothing but binge-watch your favorite fall shows or invite friends over for a chill wine night. Work will be on your mind around the Pisces eclipse, according to your horoscope. You could get a job offer or a promotion, or you might be given new responsibilities at your job. Consider how you feel about your career path right now, and decide if you want to make any changes. October is a good time to put yourself out there if you’re single or to plan date nights with your partner. Try to do that before November begins since you’ll be more focused on work and revamping your daily routine during that time.
Cancer
September and the Pisces eclipse will give you the travel bug. Now’s the time to finally book that major international trip or plan to visit faraway family and friends. It may seem cliché, but the beginning of fall will have you thinking about learning, too, and you could be interested in taking an online course, or you may even be considering going back to school. While you’ll be itching to travel in September, your horoscope during October will bring you back to your homebody roots. You could also be planning a move or making big changes, like redecorating or renovating. Take advantage of Scorpio season to prioritize dating if you’re single or to reignite the spark with your S.O., but make sure you make an effort to do hobbies and things you enjoy in November, too.
Leo
Everyone knows you love to treat yourself, Leo, but try to rein in your spending in September. You might find it hard to avoid spending during this time, but do your best to create (and actually stick to) a budget. It’s also a great time to brush up on your work skills or to seek out a side hustle to earn some extra cash. You’ll put that saved money to good use during October when you’ll be feeling social and have more time to hang with friends. Take a weekend trip or two to get out of your usual routine, or make plans to visit your long-distance bestie. While you love being on the go and spending time with friends, you might be feeling a little burnt out and want to chill at home when November arrives.
Virgo
You’re not usually one for stealing the spotlight, Virgo, but your horoscope this fall gives you permission to celebrate yourself. Schedule a spa day or take yourself out for a nice meal at that fancy restaurant you’ve been eyeing. Don’t worry if you overdo it a little with spending in September, though, since you’ll return to your more responsible self during October and get back on track with your budget. You have a knack for communication, and you’ll especially shine during November. You might be asked to give an important presentation at work or school. Another thing to keep an eye on is your relationship status since the Pisces eclipse will highlight that part of your chart. You could be taking the next step with your partner, getting into a new relationship, or rethinking what you want from a significant other.
Libra
September will have you feeling a little more introverted than usual, so use that energy to relax and recharge. Your season will arrive soon enough, which will bring you more attention and social plans, and it also starts with a bang with an eclipse in Libra. You could be reconsidering what you want to accomplish in the next year, and you might want to make some major changes, whether it’s embarking on a new career path or completely switching up your wardrobe. November is a great time to focus on honing your skills at work by signing up for a workshop or class, or you might want to find some other ways to earn money outside of your 9-to-5 job.
Scorpio
There will be no shortage of events and gatherings for you to go to during September, as you’ll be in high demand with your friends, according to your horoscope. This is a good time to join a group, like a book club or recreational sports league, to meet new people, too. You could even connect with someone you might be interested in dating through mutual friends around the Pisces lunar eclipse. Libra season will give you some time to rest up to prepare for the excitement of your season when, once again, you’ll be Miss Popularity. Your horoscope says that the attention will be on you during Scorpio season, so it’s a great chance for you to get back on dating apps or make your accomplishments known at work.
Sagittarius
During September, you’ll have to buckle down and get back to business after enjoying your summer. You could have some looming deadlines, or you might decide to start looking for a new position. Some of those work vibes could continue into October with group projects or networking events, but you’ll also have a lot more opportunities to see your friends during this time. Your horoscope is showing this fall to be a time of both work and play. If you’ve been neglecting your social calendar for your job, take advantage of October to host a party or reach out to that friend you keep playing phone tag with. All that work and play will catch up to you around the end of October, so make Scorpio season your self-care time.
Capricorn
You’ll be in exploration mode during September, Capricorn. Research some classes in a subject you’re interested in, or head over to the library or bookstore to find something new to read. You could be getting ready to book or go on a big trip, so put your planning nature as a Capricorn to good use to create an itinerary. With the Libra eclipse at the beginning of October, your career will be front and center. Your horoscope says you could get news about a promotion or raise at work, or you might get a job offer you’ve been waiting to hear about. There could also be changes happening at your company, such as switching teams or getting a new manager. During November, you’ll be feeling social, and it’ll give you a chance to get work off your mind for a little while.
Aquarius
If you’ve been considering learning more about the stock market, September is an ideal time to get your trading hat on since Virgo season will bring up the topic of money for you. A raise could be in store for you at work, so try to be on your best behavior, even if your coworkers are driving you a little crazy. As an Aquarius, you’re constantly in search of new information, and that will be especially highlighted during October. You could suddenly decide to go back to school to study a different subject during this time, or you might get super invested in a new book series. It may be a good time to teach yourself something new pertaining to your job, too, since November will highlight your career.
Pisces
September and Virgo season bring an eclipse in your sign, so be ready for some personal changes in your horoscope, from your style to your future goals. Since it’s occurring during Virgo season, which for you is associated with close relationships, that could be a particular focus right now. You might have the DTR talk with the person you’ve been seeing, or you could be thinking about where you want your relationship with your partner to go from here. With the Libra eclipse in October, be on the lookout for an opportunity to earn more money, whether it’s a new job or asking your boss for a raise. Take some time in November to dive into topics you’ve been curious about, pick up a new book, or try your hand at writing and journaling.
