September will be permeated by the Rooster’s energy, which blends with the Year of the Horse and sets in motion different shifts for each sign of the Chinese zodiac. While some will find a period marked by greater clarity and stability, others will need to pay particular attention to their emotions, their connections, or the choices they make.
The predictions that follow are extracts from the book Chinese Horoscope 2026, by Ludovica Squirru, and bring together the main insights the astrologer outlines for each sign during September.
Rat
The Rooster arrives to soften the Rat’s momentum and open up new possibilities. This energetic combination can help it relate more smoothly to its surroundings and seize opportunities more readily.
Rats born in 1960 and 2020 will be the ones who best utilize this quality, which could make them particularly popular. For those born in 1936 and 1996, September may bring financial improvements.
The rest of the Rats can use the month to rest a little and distance themselves from external problems. The recommendation is not to get too involved and to focus on themselves, especially since the coming months could present new complications.
Ox
September will be a month of hard work for the Ox, though this extra activity will not feel burdensome; it can actually fill them with energy.
It will also be a favorable period to reflect without slipping into gloom and to face issues related to mental health with less apprehension. The month’s energy will be connected to the lungs: the text recommends strengthening them through breathing exercises.
Even singing, for example at parties or karaoke events, is associated with this beneficial energy. According to the forecast, engaging in such activity could also improve their luck.
Tiger
The Monkey month can bring benefits to the Tiger, even when circumstances seem difficult. The first half of September will feature work with low pay, but also discipline and focus.
They might receive recognition they feel is deserved or a diploma with curricular value. They may also have the opportunity to start a project or finally decide to finish one that had been pending.
There will be reasons to feel anger, but that energy can be used as a push to accomplish what they want, always prioritizing the care of their physical and emotional health.
Rabbit
For the Rabbit, September’s experience will be closely tied to the birth year.
Those born under the Metal sign, in 1951 and 2011, might feel somewhat sad facing a world environment that feels unstable. In contrast, Water Rabbits of 1963 and 2023 will enjoy a more relaxed month, with greater mental clarity and good memory.
Fire Rabbits, born in 1987, and Wood Rabbits, born in 1975, should watch out for minor accidents caused by walking without due care. For Earth Rabbits, born in 1999, there is a possibility of gastrical problems related to stress.
Dragon
The Monkey can improve the Dragon’s mood and mental clarity during September. However, when combined with the Rooster’s energy and Zi Xing, it may intensify emotional and social movement.
Wood Dragons born in 1965 and the newborns of 2025 will be especially alert and creative. For Fire Dragons born in 1976, a more rebellious energy appears, so they should watch out for excesses.
Among the month’s keys are meditation, reducing time spent on the internet, and prioritizing genuine in-person interactions. There may also be a desire to help others, though it will be important to regulate empathy to avoid becoming exhausted.
Snake
September presents as an intense month, but also one of mental clarity, financial order, and firm decisions for the Snake.
It may be a period favorable for asking for forgiveness, repairing bonds, and resolving pending matters.
Young Snakes will be more sensitive and will need to work especially on composure to navigate the different situations that may arise during the month.
Horse
The Rooster brings a good month for the Horse. Both the Monkey’s energy from August and the Rooster’s energy from September provide tools related to self-control, patience, and mental clarity.
The difference lies in September when the Horse might feel ready to settle down. For singles, this sense could lead to hasty decisions.
The forecast notes that marrying within this year would not be advisable and suggests waiting until it ends. For Horses that are already married, a calm period is anticipated.
Goat
September will be one of the most challenging months of the year for the Goat, possibly as a consequence of what happened in the previous month.
Young Goats could have to spend some time at home due to an accident. At the same time, Rooster energy will be enthusiastic and foster a greater openness to pleasure and love, so the Goats will be in high demand.
Hence, the prediction emphasizes caution when moving around and during the parties or gatherings they attend.
Monkey
The Monkey’s own month will restore the Monkey’s characteristic sense of humor and cause its charisma to shine again.
For adult, single Monkeys, this energy could translate into adventures with acquaintances and strangers, while the forecast notes the need to act with discretion and take precautions.
Some female Monkeys might interpret this period as an opportunity to have children, particularly with an eye toward future Yin Fire Goats.
Monkeys born in 2016, for their part, will feel a strong attraction to the performing arts, an activity that will suit them well.
Rooster
September will be a month of review for those born under the Rooster sign. Even the younger ones, such as those born in 2017, will begin to feel greater demands at school.
It will be a period of internal and external work. Looking in the mirror and reviewing what has been lived in recent months can be uncomfortable, because self-criticism is part of the process.
The forecast suggests making a list of what is no longer necessary and then destroying it. It also points to therapy, constellation work, and practicing a sports discipline as tools to rid oneself of what is no longer needed.
Dog
The reproductive theme remains present for the Dogs during September. Those born in 1994 and 2006 appear particularly involved with age-related matters, while older Dogs might receive news of the arrival of a grandchild.
For those who have already decided they do not want to have children, the forecast suggests enhancing precautions through safe prophylactic methods. According to the energy perspective, during this period they will have the lowest barriers and be more permeable to what happens around them.
Children born in 2018, meanwhile, will begin to feel the call of the arts, with a charisma and talent that, according to the forecast, will be hard to stop.
Pig
September keeps the reproductive theme for the Pig, with possibilities related to pregnancies, family projects, or the arrival of grandchildren.
The period’s energy also highlights the importance of caring for relationships and for those elements that can enter one’s life unexpectedly. The forecast notes that those who do not want to have children should be particularly diligent with precautions.
For the younger ones, September brings another kind of development: pigs born in 2018 start showing artistic talent and a charisma that becomes increasingly evident.
