Horoscopes: what’s your luck like in September 2025, Wood Rooster month?

The second month of autumn is represented by the energy of the Rooster. This is the month when we should all practice open communication and avoid blowing minor issues out of proportion, if we wish for progress and success.

Assessing the global energy flow, this may prove to be a month of extreme tension when tempers could get out of control and small issues could result in wide-ranging international conflict, courtesy of the feisty Rooster energy. World leaders will be gathering to quell tensions and strut their stuff – yet there may still be reason for feathers to be ruffled, until resolutions can be found to suit all egos and political agendas.

Europe may be the focus of dialogue with the ongoing refugee issue; there will be continued back-and-forth dialogue, which may result in a stalemate situation until the spring. In addition, Europe and Russia may still be at loggerheads over several issues. It will take great diplomacy and patience from all parties to get to a place of compassion and understanding; otherwise, the consequences may be ongoing and severe.

September is traditionally the month of communication and commercialism. It is a month to enjoy friends and family, and to work at building on personal and professional relationships. Everyone wants to be successful, and in today’s competitive environment, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of the game during unpredictable times. There are miracles happening every day of your life if you only stop for a minute and take time to recognise them.

On the other hand, anyone who waits for miracles seldom sees them. Have faith in yourself and be receptive to these wonders of the universe. Discard any feelings of unworthiness and insecurity while avoiding listening to negative influences, as this only lowers your personal vibration. Make it a habit to feel happy and good about yourself, and combine this with good feng shui, and you’ll be amazed at how things will improve for you. It is advisable to be flexible in mind and spirit to strive for success.

Will you be looking up or down in September?

This is a difference between those who are optimistic, and those who are naturally pessimistic. The choice is yours, but optimists tend to lead happier and more satisfying lives. Look to the glittering stars on your horizon this month. If things start to go wrong for you in your relationships with friends, colleagues or your partner, you can expect that something in the energy of your living space is negatively affecting your relationship luck.

As we enter this transitional time of the year, we become more aware of light, particularly in the northern hemisphere; the days are shorter, so it’s very important to adjust the lighting within our homes to create balance. Light also has an impact on our emotions. According to feng shui principles and applications, if the energy is tense or if an argument has taken place, we use light to quell any lingering effects. It is also a wonderful harmoniser for any dark corners of your home or any room, so if you have been suffering from challenging relationships or office politics, place a lamp on your desk and light up any area that could be holding stagnant energy. Light is represented as the element of fire; it is one of the most important factors used in feng shui remedies for any space.

In traditional Chinese culture, the energy of the Rooster is glamorous with an eye for detail. Roosters appreciate an argument and like to win, but have little patience for causes that drag on. Associated with communication and renewal as well as finance and commerce due to its metal element, the Rooster signifies opportunities, making this a great month to make changes that may until now have been delayed.

Born with a sense of justice, the Rooster values equality and advocates for those who may have difficulty speaking up for themselves with conviction and clarity. They have an honest and passionate nature, which can be either an asset or a hindrance, depending on the conditions of communication. Sometimes they come across as blunt and argumentative, but if you have a Rooster on your side, you can count on coming out on top. The Wood Rooster is highly principled and enjoys a challenge, including being supportive of any speculative ventures – this is also the case as we enter the autumn season of metal, the resource element of the Wood Snake year of 2025. This indicates that resources will be abundant and available if you use your intelligence and creativity.

September is the month to reboot. Let go so you can make space for what’s to come in the final months of the year. Think of it as nature’s reset to release what no longer serves us, to create space for the new. Start off by physically clearing out a part of your house that’s bothering you: this can be a drawer, a cupboard or even a room. You’ll feel instantly lighter because you’ve made space for new growth and creativity leading up to the end of the year.
