Hi Friends,

All eclipses, which occur about every six months, offer us an opportunity to complete something in our lives, as well as a doorway to begin a new cycle. September’s astrology is heavily influenced by significant transits and eclipses, bringing opportunities for transformation, introspection, and new beginnings across various zodiac signs.
Here are the Key Astrological Events in September 2025:
Saturn Retrograde Returns to Pisces (September 1, 2025): Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces, encouraging a deep dive into emotional clarity, boundaries, and creativity.
Mercury in Virgo (September 2, 2025): Mercury’s presence in its ruling sign, Virgo, enhances focus, organization, and attention to detail.
Uranus Retrograde in Gemini (September 6, 2025): Uranus, the planet of disruption and innovation, begins its annual retrograde, suggesting a period to pause on drastic changes.
Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (September 7, 2025): A powerful Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces emphasizes emotional depth, spirituality, and intuition.
Mercury enters Libra (September 18, 2025): A shift toward balanced, diplomatic communication and a focus on harmony in thought and interactions.

Solar Eclipse in Virgo (September 21, 2025): The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo calls for responsibility, practicality, and self-care.

Sun enters Libra (September 22, 2025): Marks the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. This transit ushers in a period focused on balance, harmony, and relationships, with an emphasis on diplomacy.
We start off the month with Saturn turning retrograde in Pisces on September 1st. When Saturn retrogrades into Pisces it triggers a period of introspection, emotional restructuring, and spiritual growth, with unique implications due to Pisces’ dreamy, intuitive, and compassionate nature. Saturn, the planet of discipline, responsibility, and boundaries, takes on a softer, more reflective tone in Pisces, and its retrograde motion intensifies this inward focus.
Saturn in Pisces emphasizes establishing healthy emotional boundaries and confronting suppressed feelings. During the retrograde (September 1, 2025, thru November 28, 2025), you may revisit unresolved emotional issues, particularly around trust, vulnerability, and self-worth. This period encourages reflection on how you assert yourself in relationships or creative pursuits. You might reassess whether your boundaries are too porous or overly rigid, especially in situations involving empathy or sacrifice.
Pisces is a sign of spirituality, imagination, and creativity, and Saturn’s retrograde prompts a deeper dive into these areas. You may feel drawn to refine creative projects, revisit spiritual practices, or explore your subconscious through meditation, journaling, or therapy. This transit can highlight where you’ve been overly idealistic or escapist, urging you to ground your dreams in practical reality. For example, unfinished artistic endeavors or spiritual goals may resurface for completion.
Saturn is often associated with karma and life lessons. In Pisces, it brings attention to ancestral patterns, past-life themes (for those who believe), or deep-seated emotional wounds. The retrograde period is a time to heal these wounds through self-awareness and forgiveness. You might confront fears of failure or feelings of being overwhelmed, learning to balance compassion for others with self-discipline.
On September 2, Mercury enters meticulous Virgo. When Mercury enters Virgo it marks a period of heightened mental clarity, practicality, and attention to detail, as Mercury is in its home sign (it rules Virgo), where it functions at its strongest. This transit, lasting until September 18, 2025, fosters an environment conducive to organization, analysis, and effective communication.
Mercury in Virgo sharpens your ability to process information, solve problems, and focus on details. This is an excellent time for tasks requiring precision, such as editing, planning, or data analysis. You may feel a strong urge to organize your thoughts, workspace, or daily routines, making this a productive period for de-cluttering or streamlining processes.
Communication becomes clear, concise, and grounded. This transit favors practical discussions, negotiations, or presentations, especially in professional settings like job interviews, meetings, or financial planning. However, Virgo’s critical nature may lead to overanalyzing or nitpicking in conversations. Be mindful of coming across as overly critical or perfectionistic.
Mercury in Virgo encourages finding better ways to manage time, resources, or workflows. This is a great time to implement systems, create schedules, or tackle tasks you’ve been procrastinating on. Financial matters, such as budgeting or finding deals, benefit from Virgo’s discerning eye. You might spot opportunities to save money or optimize investments.
Virgo also rules health and daily routines, so Mercury here may prompt you to research wellness practices, schedule checkups, or refine your diet and exercise habits. Mental health also comes into focus, with an emphasis on mindfulness or stress-reduction techniques to manage Virgo’s tendency toward worry.
This transit is ideal for studying, learning new skills, or diving into research. Mercury in Virgo favors practical knowledge that can be applied immediately, such as technical skills or hands-on crafts.
The planet of revolution, Uranus, goes retrograde in Gemini on September 6th. When Uranus retrogrades in Gemini it initiates a period of introspection, reassessment, and subtle shifts in areas related to communication, innovation, and intellectual pursuits. Uranus, the planet of sudden change, rebellion, and breakthroughs, takes on a more reflective tone during its retrograde, and in Gemini, it emphasizes rethinking how we connect, learn, and adapt to new ideas. This retrograde will last approximately five months, as Uranus retrogrades annually for about 148 days, continuing into early February 2026.
Gemini rules communication, learning, and social networks, and Uranus retrograde prompts a review of how you express yourself, share ideas, or engage with others. You may revisit old conversations, reconnect with past contacts (e.g., friends, colleagues), or rethink communication habits. This is a time to reflect on whether your ideas align with your authentic self or if you’ve been overly influenced by external trends or societal pressures.
Uranus is associated with innovation and disruption, but its retrograde slows external changes, encouraging internal processing. In Gemini, this might mean reassessing technological tools, social media habits, or intellectual projects. Unfinished ideas or inventions may resurface, offering a chance to refine or redirect them. This is not a time for bold new initiatives but for tweaking existing ones.
Gemini’s curious and adaptable nature, combined with Uranus’ unpredictability, may lead to unexpected insights about how you learn or interact. You might question outdated beliefs, explore new perspectives, or revise how you approach education or networking. Social dynamics could shift, with opportunities to reconnect with old friends, groups, or communities, or to break free from limiting social circles.
Uranus retrograde in Gemini encourages breaking free from rigid thought patterns. You may confront mental habits that no longer serve you, such as dogmatic opinions or fear of change, and embrace more open-minded approaches. This transit can spark epiphanies, especially about how you process or share information, but these insights may unfold gradually during the retrograde.
Gemini governs short trips, transportation, and technology, so Uranus retrograde might highlight delays or revisions in these areas. For example, travel plans may need adjustment, or tech projects (e.g., apps, websites) could require troubleshooting. Be prepared for unexpected hiccups in communication devices or online platforms, as Uranus’ unpredictable energy can disrupt Gemini’s tech-savvy domain.
The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7, 2025, is a significant astrological event, often referred to as a Blood Moon due to its reddish hue caused by Earth’s shadow. As a full moon eclipse in the intuitive, emotional, and spiritual sign of Pisces, amplifies themes of release, transformation, and heightened sensitivity. Occurring close to the North Node in Pisces (which began January 11, 2025), this eclipse is particularly potent, signaling a karmic turning point tied to destiny, spirituality, and emotional clarity.
Lunar eclipses are full moons amplified, often bringing culminations, endings, or revelations. In Pisces, this eclipse stirs deep emotions, subconscious insights, and spiritual awakenings. You may confront suppressed feelings, unresolved grief, or ancestral patterns, making it a time for emotional purging. Expect heightened sensitivity and vivid dreams. Pisces’ connection to the subconscious may bring intuitive messages or clarity about long-hidden truths.
The North Node’s presence in Pisces (January 2025–July 2026) aligns to this eclipse with your soul’s path or purpose. It may highlight areas where you’re meant to grow, particularly in spirituality, creativity, or compassion. Relationships, especially soul mate connections, may come into focus. You might experience breakthroughs or closures in romantic, familial, or platonic bonds, with a focus on unconditional love or forgiveness.
Pisces rules imagination, mysticism, and the arts, so this eclipse could inspire profound creative or spiritual insights. It’s a powerful time for practices like meditation, dream journaling, or connecting with your intuition through art, music, or healing ritual.
Pisces can be prone to escapism or idealization, and this eclipse may reveal where you’ve been avoiding reality or clinging to illusions (e.g., in relationships, career, or self-perception). It’s a moment to release what no longer aligns with your truth. This could manifest as endings—such as letting go of toxic habits, relationships, or unrealistic dreams—or as a shift toward greater authenticity.
Pisces governs the collective unconscious, so this eclipse may highlight societal or global issues tied to compassion, healing, or unity. You might feel drawn to contribute to humanitarian causes or reflect on your role in the larger world.
On September 18, Mercury enters peace-seeking Libra. When Mercury enters Libra it shifts the cosmic energy from Virgo’s analytical, detail-oriented mindset to Libra’s diplomatic, harmonious, and relational approach to communication and thinking. Mercury, the planet of intellect, communication, and information, feels comfortable in Libra’s airy, social environment, fostering a period of balanced decision-making, charm, and collaboration. This transit will last until October 7, 2025.
Mercury in Libra emphasizes tact, charm, and fairness in conversations. This is an excellent time for negotiations, mediations, or resolving conflicts, as you’re inclined to see both sides of an issue and communicate with grace. However, Libra’s desire to please can lead to indecision or sugarcoating of ideas. Be mindful of avoiding tough conversations just to keep the peace.
Libra rules partnerships, so Mercury here highlights communication in romantic, business, or social relationships. You may find yourself discussing relationship dynamics, seeking balance, or deepening connections through meaningful conversations. Singles may enjoy flirty, intellectual exchanges, particularly at social or cultural events, as Libra’s charm enhances romantic prospects.
Libra’s Venus-ruled nature brings an appreciation for beauty, art, and aesthetics. Mercury in Libra inspires creative ideas, making it a great time for writing, designing, or brainstorming projects that blend intellect with artistry. You might be drawn to cultural activities, such as visiting galleries, attending concerts, or engaging in discussions about art or philosophy.
Mercury in Libra encourages weighing options carefully and seeking fairness in decisions. This is ideal for collaborative projects, legal matters, or contracts, as you’re likely to consider multiple perspectives. The downside is potential indecisiveness, as Libra’s need for balance can make it hard to commit to one choice. Trust your intuition to avoid overthinking.
The following day, Venus enters Virgo on September 19, 2025, as it shifts the cosmic energy toward a practical, discerning, and service-oriented approach to love, beauty, and values. Venus, the planet of relationships, pleasure, and aesthetics, takes on Virgo’s meticulous and grounded qualities, fostering a period of refinement in how we connect, express affection, and pursue what we value.
This transit will last until October 14, 2025. Venus in Virgo emphasizes devotion, reliability, and acts of service in relationships. Love is expressed through practical gestures, like helping a partner with tasks or showing care through attention to detail, rather than grand romantic displays. This transit encourages evaluating relationships for mutual support and functionality.
You may assess whether partnerships align with your values or need adjustments to be more balanced. Singles may be drawn to partners who are dependable, humble, or share similar values, with a focus on building meaningful connections rather than fleeting romance.
Virgo’s attention to detail enhances Venus’s love of beauty, making this a great time for an appearance change, such as updating your wardrobe, refining your style, or perfecting your skincare routine. Creative projects benefit from Virgo’s precision, so you might focus on crafts, design, or anything requiring a meticulous touch.
Venus governs money and resources, and in Virgo, it encourages careful budgeting, practical spending, and finding value in quality over quantity. This is an ideal time to review finances, seek deals, or invest in items that serve a practical purpose. Be cautious of Virgo’s tendency to overanalyze purchases, which could lead to missed opportunities due to excessive caution.
Virgo rules health, so Venus here highlights self-care routines that enhance both physical and emotional well-being. You might be drawn to clean eating, exercise, or wellness practices that align with beauty and self-love. This transit encourages nurturing yourself with discipline, such as sticking to a skincare regimen or prioritizing rest to feel your best.
Venus in Virgo can make you more discerning in love and aesthetics, which is great for setting high standards but may lead to nitpicking or perfectionism. Strive to balance critique with appreciation in relationships. This transit fosters a desire to serve others, making it a good time to support loved ones or contribute to community efforts with kindness.
The Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21, 2025, is a significant astrological event, marking a powerful moment for new beginnings, practical transformations, and self-improvement. As a New Moon Solar Eclipse, it carries an amplified energy for initiating change, particularly in areas governed by Virgo, such as health, daily routines, work, and service to others. Occurring in the context of the North Node in Pisces, this eclipse highlights a balance between Virgo’s practicality and Pisces’ spiritual intuition, pushing you toward purposeful growth.
Solar eclipses are potent new moons, signaling fresh starts and opportunities. In Virgo, this eclipse emphasizes starting or refining routines, health practices, or work-related projects. It’s a time to set intentions for improving daily life through discipline and organization. You may feel inspired to take on small, manageable projects that yield long-term benefits, such as adopting a new fitness regimen, organizing your workspace, or streamlining tasks.
Virgo rules health and wellness, making this eclipse an ideal time to prioritize physical and mental well-being. You might commit to healthier habits, schedule medical checkups, or focus on stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness or yoga. Self-care routines, such as skincare, nutrition, or rest, are highlighted. The eclipse encourages nurturing yourself in practical, sustainable ways, like taking a hot bath or refining your diet.
Virgo’s service-oriented nature brings attention to how you support others, whether through work, family, or community. This eclipse may prompt you to step up for loved ones or take on responsibilities that align with your values. It’s also a time to reassess how you balance serving others with self-care, ensuring you’re not overextending yourself.
Virgo’s tendency toward perfectionism may surface, but the eclipse encourages releasing unrealistic standards. It’s a moment to embrace progress over flawlessness, whether in personal goals, relationships, or work. Old habits or outdated routines may fall away, creating space for more efficient and authentic ways of living.
With the North Node in Pisces, this eclipse (opposite Pisces) ties into your soul’s path, blending Virgo’s practicality with Pisces’ spiritual vision. You may feel called to align daily routines with a higher purpose, such as pursuing work or habits that feel meaningful. This eclipse can spark opportunities for career growth, particularly for those with modest, realistic goals, as Virgo favors steady progress.
Our motivation increases on September 22, 2025 as Mars enters Scorpio. When Mars enters Scorpio it brings a powerful, intense, and transformative energy to the cosmic landscape. Mars, the planet of action, passion, and willpower, is in one of its home signs (it co-rules Scorpio and Pluto), where it operates with exceptional strength, depth, and focus.
This transit will last six weeks until November 5, 2025, based on typical Mars transit durations, amplifies determination, emotional intensity, and strategic drive. Mars in Scorpio channels energy into focused, relentless pursuit of goals. This is a time of deep commitment, where you’re motivated to tackle challenges with strategic precision and unwavering resolve.
You may feel a surge of ambition, particularly in areas requiring transformation, such as personal growth, career advancements, or overcoming obstacles. Scorpio’s influence makes you unafraid to dive into complex or taboo subjects to achieve your aims. Scorpio rules intimacy and Mars here heightens emotional and physical passion in relationships. This can lead to deeper connections, intense romantic encounters, or a desire to address power dynamics in partnerships.
However, Mars’ assertive energy in Scorpio can also spark conflicts over control or jealousy. Approach relationship challenges with honesty and emotional maturity to avoid destructive power struggles. This transit can intensify emotions, leading to confrontations if power dynamics or trust issues arise. Be mindful of manipulative tendencies or holding grudges, as Scorpio’s intensity can amplify resentment if not channeled constructively.
Mars in Scorpio is ideal for tackling deep-rooted issues or initiating transformative changes, such as breaking bad habits, confronting fears, or diving into psychological self-work (e.g., therapy or shadow work). This transit supports investigative or research-oriented tasks, as Scorpio’s probing nature pairs with Mars’ drive to uncover hidden truths or solve mysteries.
Scorpio’s secretive nature makes Mars’ actions more calculated and behind-the-scenes. You may prefer working in private or strategizing carefully before making moves, rather than acting impulsively. This is a great time for projects requiring focus, such as financial planning, investigative work, or creative endeavors with emotional depth.
On September 22, the Sun enters the balanced sign of Libra. When the Sun enters Libra it marks the Autumn Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the beginning of Libra season, a time characterized by equilibrium, harmony, and a focus on relationships, aesthetics, and diplomacy. The Sun, representing vitality, identity, and core self, shines in Libra’s airy, Venus-ruled energy, emphasizing collaboration, fairness, and beauty. This transit lasts approximately one month, until around October 22, 2025, when the Sun enters Scorpio.
Libra, an air sign ruled by Venus, prioritizes equilibrium and fairness. The Sun in Libra encourages you to seek balance in your life, whether in relationships, work-life dynamics, or personal goals. You may feel driven to resolve conflicts, make compromises, or create harmony in your environment, fostering a sense of peace and cooperation.
Libra governs partnerships, making this a key time for strengthening romantic, business, or social connections. The Sun illuminates how you relate to others, prompting reflection on whether your relationships are equitable and fulfilling. Singles may feel more social and open to new connections, especially at cultural or intellectual events, as Libra’s charm enhances attractiveness.
Libra’s Venusian influence highlights beauty, art, and refinement. The Sun in Libra inspires you to enhance your personal style, decorate your space, or engage in creative pursuits like art, music, or design. This is a great time to appreciate or create beauty, such as visiting galleries, attending performances, or refreshing your wardrobe.
The Sun in Libra fosters a diplomatic approach to decision-making, encouraging you to weigh options carefully and consider others’ perspectives. This is ideal for negotiations, collaborations, or resolving disputes with tact. However, Libra’s desire for balance can lead to indecision. You may need to push yourself to make choices rather than overanalyzing.
Libra season is inherently social, and the Sun’s presence amplifies your desire to connect with others. This is a prime time for networking, teamwork, or attending social gatherings where ideas and charm flow freely. You may feel more inclined to seek fairness and justice, both personally and in broader societal contexts, aligning with Libra’s association with equality.
