The honest horoscope
Cancer horoscope for September 2026
Cancer, September is mixed, split between two parts of life: home and family, and play and romance. From 11 to 29 September Mercury is tense for home and family, and so is the Sun from 23 September. From 10 September Venus is supportive for play and romance, and so is Mercury from 30 September. The month’s main tense date is the full Moon on 26 September, for career and standing — a full Moon is a marker for what has been building. On 11 September the new Moon is supportive for talk and short trips. All month Saturn is tense for career and standing.
