Was back-to-school shopping stressful this year, Leo?! Take a deep breath and don’t panic. With the mountain of items on your kids' school supply lists and other requests, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Step back and consider how this uptick in spending impacts your financial position. It might be helpful to review your budget through the end of the year and make adjustments if needed. Setting clear financial expectations and boundaries ahead of time can help prevent feeling strapped for cash during seasons when spending is typically high.

Virgo Rising/Sun

It’s okay to splurge on yourself and the kids, Virgo. You’re already spending for the back-to-school season, so why not add a little luxury to your life? While the priority may be getting your kids back into the swing of things, treat yourself during this transition.

You’ll have plenty of time to balance the books before holiday spending kicks in.

Libra Rising/Sun

Deep breaths, Libra. You’re usually the calm one in the midst of chaos—someone has to be, right? But September may test your limits, especially with work, co-parenting, and the start of a new school year. You may feel more stressed than usual. Maybe your kids forgot to finish their summer homework, or perhaps you're struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Try not to lose it. This too shall pass. By the time Libra season begins at the end of the month, you should feel more balanced and peaceful.

Allow your tribe to pick up the slack—it will give you the space to recharge and de-stress as you and the kids adjust to the start of the school year.

Sagittarius Rising/Sun

Focus on one thing at a time, Sagittarius. You’re typically the single mom with a bird’s-eye view of everything—whether it’s your family or your career. While it’s amazing to be a visionary, this month you may benefit from being more calculated and detail-oriented. Allow yourself to focus on a single goal, objective, or responsibility instead of trying to do it all. Don’t bite off more than you can chew—take it easy by knocking out one task at a time.

Capricorn Rising/Sun

Do you feel inspired to learn something new, Capricorn? Prepping the kids for their school year might get you thinking about your own education. No matter your age or stage of life, there’s always something new to explore. You may be ready to open up a conversation about your own educational journey and goals. Be open to researching your areas of interest—whether it’s courses, programs, or mentorships. There could be an educational opportunity waiting to help you advance in your career.

Aquarius Rising/Sun

Don’t go into debt over back-to-school expenses, Aquarius. It might be easier said than done, especially with your kids picking up new passions and school activities. Pause and reflect—what do you really need to buy? Consider starting or revisiting your budget to get a clearer view of your finances. With the right planning, you can prioritize your kids' must-haves without breaking the bank. By the end of the month, as Libra season begins, the dust will settle, and you should feel more at peace with your finances.

Pisces Rising/Sun

Big changes may occur with your commitments and relationships this month, Pisces. It could mark the end of an era, especially if you’re single and ready to mingle.

Put yourself out there—you never know who you might meet, especially mid-month. It might feel scary at first, but you’re ready for something deep and intentional.
