September 2025 Astrology Forecast: Eclipses and Crossroads

Saturn Retrogrades from Aries to Pisces

September 1, 2025, 04:06 AM EST

Saturn returning to Pisces offers an opportunity to take time to integrate lessons from our recent past before starting to move forward again. This shift invites a review and reassessment of what has taken place in the first months of 2025, emphasizing themes of emotional maturation, spiritual discernment, and karmic resolution. It may be time to revisit unfinished business, recognize where we need discipline and where we need surrender, and reassess the solidity of the structures we are building to pursue our dreams. Saturn retrograde in Pisces can offer us chances to evaluate whether our visions are still in alignment with what is True and make necessary adjustments.

Mercury enters Virgo

September 2, 2025, 09:23 AM EST

Mercury’s ingress in Virgo, its Earth domicile, is an invitation to engage in self-analysis, deepen our self-observation, and pay more attention to how our bodies communicate with us. This transit reminds us of the power of details and inspires us to strive for a more efficient and precise organization of our daily tasks, routines, and work. Mercury in Virgo supports our ability to solve problems, recognize dysfunctions, and improve functionality in all areas of our lives. This event is an opportunity to sharpen our discernment and explore new ways of approaching themes such as health, work, and service, especially while Mercury is squaring Uranus during the first few days of this transit.

Uranus stations Retrograde in Gemini

September 6, 2025, 12:51 AM EST

Just a couple of months after entering Gemini, Uranus stations retrograde in the sign of the Twins and prepares to temporarily return to Taurus. This shift inaugurates a period of introspection, recalibration, and reflection in how we relate to progress and innovation, how we approach communication, how and what we think, how and what we learn, and how we perceive the world. This retrograde encourages us to revisit our ideas and visions and maybe consider whether they can be applied practically. In Gemini, Uranus retrograde challenges us to revolutionize our thinking habits, question our assumptions, and explore unfamiliar perspectives as we reflect on the past to give shape to the future.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

September 7, 2025, 2:12 PM EST

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces inaugurates the final Eclipse season of 2025, offering us a potent opportunity to close an old chapter of our lives, release our attachment to our plans and goals, and strengthen our faith in Life. A Lunar Eclipse in the last sign of the Zodiac brings a very intense energy of completion and closure, and many things are likely to come to an end or change form around this time. This Eclipse, occurring on the Lunar North Node, indicates that, at this point, we need to let something go to move forward. Endings and farewells are necessary to clear space for new beginnings and opportunities. Mercury will be conjunct with the Sun in Virgo and opposite the Full Moon and the North Node: this configuration asks us to let go of outdated ways of thinking and perceiving our reality and can intensify the polarization between rationality and intuition, logic and emotions.

Mercury enters Libra

September 18, 2025, 06:06 AM EST

Mercury’s ingress into Libra reminds us of the value of kindness and of choosing our words wisely: this transit brings our attention to the importance of communication in relationships and invites us to hone our diplomacy and negotiation skills. During this transit, we have an opportunity to put ourselves in other people’s shoes, deepen our understanding of the way they think and perceive reality, and create compromises that are truly healthy for everyone. In Libra, Mercury reminds us that the way we say something strongly impacts how our message is received: this transit highlights the value of tact, politeness, and elegance in communication. Shortly after entering Libra, Mercury opposes retrograde Neptune in Aries, encouraging us to be mindful of self-deception and make sure we correctly discern between fact and fiction.

Venus enters Virgo

September 19, 2025, 08:39 AM EST

Venus’s ingress into Virgo brings pragmatic and down-to-earth energy into our social, romantic, financial, and artistic lives. This transit inspires us to focus less on grand romantic gestures and more on the everyday acts of service and devotion that keep our relationships alive. Venus in Virgo emphasizes the value of discernment: this combination of energies asks us to reflect on how we are investing our time, attention, and energy, and make sure we pour our love into those pursuits and connections that nourish us. In Virgo, Venus reminds us that our relationships thrive when we show up with presence, humility, and a willingness to improve what can be improved.

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo

September 21, 2025, 3:43 PM EST

The Solar Eclipse in Virgo, which occurs on the second New Moon in the sign, brings a potent wave of renewal into our daily lives. Conjunct with the Lunar South Node, this Solar Eclipse challenges us to make radical changes in our relationship to work and health, and question what it means to live a life dedicated to service. Opposing both retrograde Saturn in Pisces and retrograde Neptune in Aries, this potent Eclipse is an invitation to redefine work, service, and spirituality, and commit to being in alignment with our highest values. This configuration can highlight areas where we feel restricted or burdened by responsibilities, as well as escapist and avoidance tendencies that may keep us stuck in procrastination or denial. Both Saturn and Neptune being retrograde urge us to reassess the responsibilities we have taken on, as well as the nature of the dreams and visions we aspire to materialize.

Mars enters Scorpio & Sun enters Libra

September 22, 2025 03:55 AM EST & 2:20 PM EST

Mars entering his ancient domicile of Scorpio brings a surge of determination, willpower, and willingness to take action and make things happen. This transit energizes us, inspiring us to follow our passions and pursue what truly moves us: Mars in Scorpio helps us cut through distractions and direct our life force toward what has real meaning. Here, Mars asks for depth: there is a magnetic, all-or-nothing quality to this combination of energies that can be both empowering and consuming. During this time, we will have opportunities to face fears, power dynamics, or deep-seated desires we have been avoiding. We will be challenged to focus less on moving forward recklessly and more on pursuing what matters with unshakable commitment.

A few hours later, the Equinox occurs, and Libra season begins. The Sun’s ingress into Libra is an opportunity to explore who we are within our relationships and how our interactions with others impact our sense of identity and purpose. This season is all about exploring different ways to connect with people and learn from each other with an open mind and heart. Libra season reminds us of the power of cooperation and collaboration, while challenging us to recognize imbalances in our lives and observe where we are drawn to gravitate toward extremes. The Sun immediately opposes Neptune in Aries, exacerbating confusion around issues of identity and offering us an opportunity to reflect on who we are when no one is around.

September 2025 Astrology Forecast: Our Invitation

As the month comes to a close, the intensity rises: the final days of September invite us to be courageous, discerning, and to make changes that are long due. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo, tightly aligned with Saturn and Neptune, begins a lunar cycle that challenges us to clear away what clutters our lives and to align our daily choices with our deepest values. This has the potential to be a turning point for how we approach work, service, and healing. The Solar Eclipse will ask us to release patterns of avoidance or over-responsibility and step into a more grounded, intentional way of living.

The days following the Eclipse will be charged as Mars perfects a square with Pluto in Aquarius shortly after his ingress into Scorpio. This alignment will exacerbate the pull of unacknowledged desires while increasing the friction between our longing for transformation and our resistance to surrendering control. With the Sun’s ingress into Libra perfecting his opposition to Neptune also at this time, we will be reminded that the balance we seek must be matched by a willingness to face the truths we would rather avoid
