Today, September 7, 2026, the Moon moves into Leo, bringing a productive and charged energy to the new week, according to professional astrologer Patrick Arundell in his daily horoscope for Metro. The placement may demand a change for Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, though whether to get reflective or already know how to make the shift is up to each individual. Arundell advises listeners to trust their instincts, listen to their gut, and go forth bravely, adding that they can do whatever they set their mind to.
Moon in Leo Sets the Tone for the Week
The Moon's arrival in Leo is described as a welcome arrival home for Leo itself, helping to activate the inner being. However, the Moon is challenged by Pluto, the zodiac's power broker, meaning anything Leo wants to move forward with may be met with scrutiny. Arundell advises staying cool, as it won't be lasting, and Leos can shine brightly for two days.
For Aries, the Moon in Leo gives a push to meet up with friends with creative talents or those who move in artistic circles. Their social skills can shine brightly, with charm radiating and drawing good things. However, Aries may not appreciate anyone insisting on their company, needing to be free to choose.
Venus and the Nodes of Fate Influence Taurus
Taurus's ruler, Venus, is nearing the end of her journey in diplomatic Libra and starts to interact powerfully with the Nodes of fate. A willingness to support others in practical, realistic ways can count for a lot. If Taurus has a hobby or is a maker or creator, they can showcase their talents in a particularly impactful way now and gain others' attention.
Gemini has experienced palpable tension over the last ten days due to one of astrology's most testing face-offs between Mars and Saturn. Fortunately, as the week starts, things will be brighter and lighter. What has highlighted differences makes way for where ideas and energies align, leading to a pleasing conversation or a lovely new connection with someone.
Cancer Finds Solace in Nature; Virgo Faces Intensity
For Cancer, home is often a haven, but it's not the only place they find solace. In recent weeks, anywhere peaceful in nature may have called out to them, driven by a desire to find connection with what reassures and recharges them. If they decide to push on with an upgrade to their abode, they will probably want to squeeze their budget to get the very best.
Virgo may find something quietly simmering beneath the surface, at work or at home, as the Moon enters a delicate area and faces off with deep Pluto. It may be hard to deflect it a moment longer. This could be complex and may push them to share how they feel with a trusted friend, but the intensity may make detachment harder to find.
Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius Face Dynamics and Power Plays
Libra has been reflecting carefully about certain connections and associations. As the Moon confronts Pluto, some dynamics they have been considering can be to the fore. If someone has disappointed them, the reality can be amplified, but those who have their back become clearer.
Scorpio's efforts become more visible as the Moon arrives in their career zone, but power dynamics could become more obvious as it faces Pluto. Someone may want things their way, but Scorpio should not feel drawn into a struggle. Staying focused on aims and letting abilities speak for themselves may open a helpful connection and conversation.
Sagittarius is encouraged to think big and explore fresh possibilities, but someone else's strong opinions could challenge their plans or beliefs. Alternatively, they may feel strongly about a point of principle. Arundell advises not letting others' ideas dampen enthusiasm, as they have every right to follow their own path, and someone else will appreciate their take.
Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces Navigate Intense Energies
Financial or emotional matters may feel more intense for Capricorn as the Moon moves into their sector of joint resources and faces Pluto. If someone is trying to influence their decisions, they should make their position clear. The potential for leverage and power plays is increased, so seeing through this and firming up boundaries is advised.
For Aquarius, the Moon enters their opposite sign, putting relationships and key connections in focus. As it faces Pluto in their sign, someone could bring out a strong reaction, but it's best not to turn it into a battle of wills. They are likely changing, but some key relationships may change too, and Venus can help define what they really want and stand for.
Pisces may need more attention to working life and everyday routines as the Moon enters Leo. Yet, its face-off with Pluto suggests someone or something could make a simple matter feel more complicated. As the week goes on and the Sun connects to Mars, their vitality will increase, as will resilience to tensions. Arundell advises keeping the faith.
