Hello and welcome to September 2025!
Significant astrological developments occur this month, with eclipses sweeping through Pisces and Virgo, and the health and healing axis of the zodiac.
A total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 brings the potential for major revelations, surrendering, and reality checks, as Saturn returns to this sign. What does that mean exactly, as the planet is typically a sign of healing and intuitive ability. We might become involved in holistic healing practices, spiritual studies or volunteering to help others. Jupiter’s support during this full moon will add a boost of positivity, and perhaps sentimentality, too.
Later in the month, our attentions will turn to the Virgo New Moon, which will land on September 21 coinciding with a Solar Eclipse. This is yet another period that may well be marked by transitions; here we’re welcoming new beginnings but also honoring endings, with debris that must be cleared. A sense of finality may well be on the agenda for many.
Now we can see how specific dates will affect you.
September 1st – Saturn Retrogrades back into Pisces, encouraging a deep dive into emotional clarity and boundaries. After dipping a toe into passionate Aries, this transit gives you one more chance to review your boundaries. Have you been able to assert yourself? Does your “no” command respect? If not, you have time to get firm. Use this transit to explore your creativity as well. Are you making time for art, crafts, and self-expression? What structures might you put in place to ensure you can enjoy your creative side? Saturn in Pisces can be emotional, so you’ll want to elevate your self-care, too.
September 2nd - Mercury steps into Virgo. This is one of Mercury’s favorite placements because it rules Virgo. It’s a fabulous transit for analytical work. You can sort out the details down to the finest point now. Your mind is capable of deep concentration, which aids study or anything that requires focus. Communication tends to be precise. However, you’ll want to watch out for a tendency to be hypercritical. A bit of tact goes a long way. Mercury leaves Virgo on the 18th.
September 6th – Uranus goes Retrograde. Uranus joins Saturn and begins its annual retrograde. Uranus causes change and disruption. The impulse to change may be strong, but retrograde means it’s better to hold off on making drastic changes until Uranus stations direct on February 3rd, 2026. Instead, use this time to review where you need to tear things down or leave well enough alone. This period is ideal for reconnecting with old friends. If it’s been a minute since you’ve seen your pals from back in the day, schedule a reunion or two!
September 7th - Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This Lunar Eclipse is a total "Blood Moon" occurring at 15° Pisces, focusing on themes of intuition, compassion, spiritual release, and the balance between the spiritual (Pisces) and practical (Virgo) sides of life. This powerful, transformative event is seen as an invitation to let go of what no longer serves you, release limiting beliefs, and embrace inner guidance to create space for new clarity and growth, especially for those with a Virgo or Pisces rising sign.
September 18th - Mercury goes into Libra., Mercury leaves precise Virgo for diplomatic Libra. Thinking becomes balanced, objective, and fair, making it easier to see all sides. This transit is terrific for creative thinking. If you want to redesign your house, you’ll have no shortage of ideas. Communication is tactful, making this a great period for negotiations or situations that require tact. Mercury remains here until October 6th.
September 19th – Venus goes into Virgo. Romance turns prim when Venus flutters into Virgo. This isn’t considered a good placement for the planet of love. Instead of warm and fuzzy, it’s reserved. Romance needs to be clean and healthy. Because Virgo loves to serve, acts of service go a long way: home-cooked meals and back rubs could get your motor purring. Venus leaves Virgo on October 13th.
September 21st – Solar Eclipse, the last eclipse of the year. This one is in Virgo, your best chance for a clean break. A fresh start is on the way. If something ends around this day, a new opportunity may emerge. Hold off on making decisions until a few days have passed. That way, you’ll have the facts you need to make a strong choice. It’s also a dynamite eclipse for decluttering, cleaning, and weeding. Put those tasks on your list—and you’ll emerge nice and neat!
September 22nd – Mars goes into Scorpio, a transit that brings willpower, sex appeal, and intensity into the cosmos. Mars loves this placement, so it’s right at home. This feisty vibe keeps ambition soaring, fights interesting, and love hot. It will leave for Sagittarius on November 4th. (That’s going to be an interesting combination with Venus in prim Virgo 😊.sol
So what is the best way to handle this month's energy? As always, do more breathwork and meditation, be in nature more, take walks, meditate, read, cook, --- make your energy, state of being and calmness your absolutely top priorities. That is not only the best thing you can do for yourself, but also you will be of the greatest service for humanity. Take care of yourself and let me hear from you.
MANY BLESSINGS, JULIE REEVES, https://sightedastrology.com
