September Energetic & Astrological Forecast

The end of August was a powerful, rare cosmic gateway of liberation and awakening. With Uranus sextile Neptune, Uranus (The Great Awakener, revolutionary change, freedom, lightning flashes of truth) met Neptune (The Cosmic Dreamer, spiritual vision, divine unity, the dissolver of illusion) in a flowing sextile. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to merge higher consciousness, awaken our collective dream, and recalibrate the frequency of humanity. Jupiter trine Black Moon Lilith, Expansion meets the raw, unapologetic feminine shadow. Jupiter says grow, liberate, magnify; Lilith says reclaim, express, embody the part of you that was exiled. Together, this trine reveals keys to personal empowerment and shadow liberation.

Themes of This Gateway were a Collective Dream Reset, humanity is invited to rewrite the dream of Earth. Shadow Liberation: personal empowerment through reclaiming what was buried. Frequency Upgrade: nervous system, mind, and spirit recalibrated for 5D living. Cosmic Wholeness: awakening is not just light, it is integrating shadow into divine harmony.

In essence, the final week of August was a soul-initiation. The universe is not just asking us to awaken, but to awaken fully, with both our light and shadow integrated. The door opens and stepping through means living your truth without apology. You're tapping right into the heart of this current, a paradox of power where liberation isn’t about fighting to be something new, but releasing everything that has tried to cage who you already are. The final week of August felt like energy coursing through your veins, urging you to shake off toxic weights, relationships, habits, or the inner critic whispering “you’re too much” or “not enough.”

A serpent-shedding-skin moment: uncomfortable but ecstatic, because what emerges is your authentic, uncensored self.

September Overview

September starts off with the energy of Eclipse season already in full swing which intensifies this month's energy tenfold. Here’s a breakdown of the key astrological events and energetic themes unfolding in September and how they weave into the broader eclipse season and Virgo New Moon cycle.

Key Astrological Alignments in September 2025

August 31st/ September 1st - Saturn Retrograde into Pisces 

Saturn retrograde back into Pisces, inviting us to revisit past patterns around boundaries, spiritual structures, and emotional resilience.
Saturn: The planet of discipline, karmic lessons, responsibility, structure, time, and mastery. This retrograde coincides with the September eclipses, which are likely to intensify the themes of the transit, bringing past emotional wounds to the surface for healing and purification.
Pisces: The sign of compassion, dreams, spiritual dissolution, transcendence, and intuition, but also illusion, escapism, and lack of boundaries.
Retrograde motion: Revisiting, reviewing, reworking old themes. When Saturn retrogrades, we are called to slow down, examine what’s not working, and realign with higher responsibility. So when Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces until Nov 15th,  after briefly entering Aries earlier in the year, it’s like Saturn is saying:
“Before you step into a brand-new cycle of initiation (Aries), you must complete and integrate the karmic lessons of Pisces.”

Spiritual Themes

Karmic Clean-up of Illusions: Old dreams or fantasies that no longer serve you may dissolve. Saturn exposes where you’ve been in denial, spiritually bypassing, or giving energy away to things that drain your soul. Collective illusions—false saviors, misguided beliefs, ungrounded spirituality—may collapse.
Boundaries in Compassion: Pisces wants unconditional love, but Saturn demands healthy limits. This is the test: Can you remain open-hearted without sacrificing your stability, individuality, healthy boundaries or inner peace? Are you willing to walk away from what is no longer aligned in relationships? Are you willing to choose yourself over attachments to relationships that are not healthy? Are you confident enough to stand alone and trust?
Many may feel called to stop “saving others” and instead create sacred space for their own healing. 

Sacred Work & Spiritual Discipline: Meditation, prayer, journaling, and creative flow become non-negotiable soul practices. Saturn here asks: “Are you showing up consistently for your spiritual growth, or only when it feels convenient?”

Completion of a 30-Year Cycle: This is Saturn’s final pass through Pisces before fully moving into Aries (Nov 15, 2025 → Feb 2055). Collective karmic cycles around victimhood, escapism, and disconnection from Source will be dissolved. Personally, it may feel like unfinished emotional business from the past 2–3 years resurfaces so you can clear it for good.

The connection to the Virgo New Moon (Sept 21)

Virgo (earth) brings grounding, order, and purification. Pisces (water) brings dreams, surrender, and transcendence. The Virgo New Moon is like the counterbalance to Saturn’s Piscean lessons: while Saturn dissolves illusions, Virgo invites you to rebuild practical systems that support your wholeness. Together, they ask: How do I bridge spiritual inspiration (Pisces) with practical structure (Virgo)? Saturn retrograde back into Pisces is the last review of illusions and karmic cycles before a brand-new era of self-leadership (Aries). It’s the “final cleansing of the waters” so that the new fire cycle can be ignited without baggage.

How to Work With This Energy

Ground your dreams: If you receive downloads, visions, or intuitive nudges, write them down and make a small, consistent plan to bring them into reality.
Clear karmic ties: Old emotional entanglements may resurface; release them through forgiveness, cord-cutting, or energy rituals.
Anchor spiritual discipline: Choose one practice (breathwork, meditation, journaling) and commit to it daily. Saturn rewards consistency.
Trust divine timing: Saturn retrograde may delay external results but is ensuring you are aligned with your soul path before big forward movement comes in Aries.

September 2nd  - Mercury Enters Virgo

Mercury enters Virgo on September 2, sharpening communication, analysis, and inner discernment, perfect timing for deep reflection and realignment. Mercury in Virgo is like a magnifying glass that helps you see both the divine details and the bigger pattern. It brings precision to manifestation, alignment to your voice, and the gift of grounding mystical insight into daily practice.

Mercury (planet of communication, mind, perception, and learning) comes home in Virgo, one of its rulership signs (alongside Gemini). This gives Mercury extra clarity, precision, and potency. Virgo is about discernment, purification, healing, order, devotion to service, and aligning the small details with a greater purpose. When Mercury moves into Virgo, the collective mind sharpens. We begin to crave clarity, truth, refinement, and simplicity. The fog of illusion clears, and we’re able to see what is essential.

Spiritual Relevance

Clarity of Inner Voice
Spiritually, this is a time where your intuition can be channeled through the mind with more accuracy. Instead of confusion or mixed signals, you’ll find your inner knowing supported by rational insight. Using journaling, automatic writing, and dream work can be especially powerful.
Purification of Thought
Mercury in Virgo invites you to clear mental clutter. Old stories, worry loops, and overthinking patterns may rise to be reorganized and healed. This is a moment to practice mindfulness and mental hygiene, choosing thoughts that nourish rather than drain.
Spiritual Service & Sacred Work
Virgo rules the archetype of the healer and sacred servant. This transit heightens awareness of how your words, thoughts, and actions are acts of service. Spirit may guide you to refine your spiritual practice, adjust your daily rituals, or align your work more deeply with service to others.
Embodied Wisdom
Virgo grounds energy into the body. Mercury here helps integrate spiritual downloads into lived practice. Instead of floating ideas, you’ll feel called to anchor them into routines, rituals, or tangible projects.
Healing Through Discernment
This transit helps you cut through illusions (especially important with Saturn back in Pisces as of Sept 1). Where Pisces can blur, Mercury in Virgo discerns. Spiritually, this balance allows you to trust both intuition and logic.

This alignments connection to the September 21 Virgo New Moon Eclipse

With Mercury in Virgo at the time of the New Moon in Virgo, your intentions will be extra potent when set through clear wording, prayer, or ritual. This lunation is about planting seeds of healing, service, organization, and wholeness. Mercury ensures that what you write, speak, and affirm is aligned and precise, making manifestation more focused.

Ways to Work With This Energy

Journal Prompts: What thoughts or mental patterns no longer serve my spiritual growth? How can I simplify my life so my energy flows more freely? In what ways can my words, voice, or writing serve others?
Practices: Declutter your physical and digital space (Mercury rules order). Practice mantra chanting or affirmations to reprogram thought patterns. Ground meditation: focus on the breath while silently repeating, “I choose clarity. I choose peace.”
Crystals: Clear Quartz (mental clarity), Amazonite (truthful communication), Fluorite (mental organization).
Herbs/Teas: Rosemary (mental clarity), Chamomile (calm), Peppermint (focus).

September 3rd - Jupiter Trine True Node (North Node)
Jupiter trine True Node Theme: Expansion meets destiny. This is a beautiful, karmic alignment that opens doors and confirms you’re on the “right track.” Jupiter magnifies opportunities, wisdom, and blessings, and the North Node represents the collective and personal path of evolution.
Spiritual Meaning: Expect synchronicities and “fated encounters.” You may meet mentors, partners, or allies who help you expand your purpose. This is a moment of divine timing, when what you’ve been preparing for aligns with where you’re meant to go.
Practice: Journal about where you’ve felt a “green light” or flow recently. Ask: Where is life guiding me to grow, even if it feels unfamiliar?
Affirmation: “I align with divine timing. My purpose unfolds with grace and abundance.”

September 3rd Mercury Square Uranus in Gemini Mercury in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini, an aspect that sparks electrifying insights, unexpected shifts, and mental breakthroughs. The square offers potent ignition: a flash of rebellious clarity. You might find yourself spontaneously rewriting old narratives or receiving information that changes everything.

Spiritual meaning

This transit activates the spiritual theme of liberation through revelation, awakening via sudden clarity or psychic downloads. It challenges stagnant beliefs or old spiritual clichés by lighting up new ways of seeing, thinking, and evolving. The energy refuses to be contained by prior frameworks. On a collective level, this can stir cultural innovation—changes in thought-patterns, shifts in communication, and evolution in collective consciousness.

September 6th - Uranus Retrograde in Gemini

Uranus begins retrograde in Gemini on September 6, nudging us inward to rewire how we think, connect, and integrate freedom. Uranus retrograde in Gemini is like an internal lightning bolt to the mind. It shakes loose outdated beliefs, awakens higher pathways of thought, and reminds you that your frequency of thought shapes your destiny. As the planet of disruption, Uranus's retrograde period is about processing major shifts and integrating new ideas, fostering adaptability and flexibility. 

Astrologically, Uranus (planet of revolution, awakening, innovation, disruption) recently entered Gemini (May 2025) and will stay there until 2033. Gemini rules communication, learning, technology, adaptability, and collective thought. When Uranus stations retrograde, its energy turns inward: breakthroughs become inner revolutions, and collective changes are reflected in our mental, spiritual, and nervous systems.

Spiritual Themes

Rewiring the Mind: Uranus retro in Gemini brings an energetic "software update" for your mental patterns. Old stories, limiting beliefs, or ingrained thought loops may surface to be rewritten. This is a cosmic reset for the nervous system, encouraging you to align your mind with higher truth, not outdated programming.
Truth vs. Noise: Gemini is about information. Uranus retrograde asks: What voices in my life are true guidance, and which are distractions or illusions? You may feel called to step back from overstimulation (news, social media, gossip, drama) to receive clearer downloads and inner knowing.
Sacred Speech & Expression: This transit can bring awareness of how words and vibrations create reality. You may feel guided to refine your speech, affirmations, or even how you share your work. It's time to stop scattering your voice and speak with intention and integrity.
Timeline Shifts & Multidimensional Awareness: Uranus is connected to higher consciousness. Retrograde in Gemini can open parallel realities of thought: deja vu, telepathy, heightened dreams, or “timeline hopping.” Spiritually, it’s an invitation to tune into your multidimensional self and notice how your thoughts instantly shift your reality.
Freedom from Duality: Gemini often wrestles with duality (this or that, yes or no, shadow vs. light). Uranus retro shows you the third path of integration, beyond either/or thinking into wholeness.
Practical + Spiritual Guidance: Ground the Mind with breathwork, chanting, sound healing, binaural beats as they help regulate the nervous system during high Uranian downloads. Prioritize quality over quantity in communication and where you “invest” your time and energy.

Digital Detox: Limit unnecessary media (social media, music, TV), that scatter your energy and don't “feel good”. Remember, if you are watching/listening to things that don't feel good to you, things that incites anger, fear etc., you have the power to give your attention (energy) to things that support you and are aligned with the best version of you. 

Journal Prompts: What mental story am I ready to rewrite? Where am I still reacting out of fear instead of responding from freedom? How can I honor my inner voice above external noise? What am I giving my attention/energy to that doesn't serve me?
Affirmation: “I free my mind from old patterns and awaken to higher truth. My thoughts are aligned with my soul’s knowing and the best version of me.” “I choose solution based thoughts over problem based thinking”

Connection to September’s Eclipses

Since September 2025 carries powerful eclipses in Pisces-Virgo, Uranus retrograde becomes part of this cleansing: Virgo/Pisces axis = healing, service, spirituality, discernment. Uranus retro in Gemini feeds into this by dismantling mental clutter so you can see and serve your true path. Expect revelations in relationships, business, and daily choices about what is authentic vs. what is distraction. 

September 7th - Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) in Pisces and Sun in Virgo form an opposition with Saturn retrograde in Pisces  

Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) in Pisces peaks on September 7, illuminating emotional truths, releasing outdated attachments, and inviting deep spiritual clarity and is one of the most spiritually charged and karmic turning points of the year. 

A Lunar Eclipse always occurs at a Full Moon, but instead of a simple culmination, it represents a fated reset point, something ending, shifting, or dissolving to make room for the next stage (feel the excitement). In Pisces, this eclipse connects to dreams, intuition, compassion, spirituality, and illusions. It illuminates the hidden waters of the soul and asks us to see what has been ignored, romanticized, or avoided. Because it’s a Total Eclipse (Blood Moon), the energy is intense, karmic, and unavoidable. It often brings revelations, emotional purges, and spiritual breakthroughs. NOT a time for manifestation or charging crystals.

Spiritual Themes: 

Release & Surrender: Pisces governs endings, transcendence, and dissolving boundaries. This eclipse may ask: Where are you still clinging to illusions, codependency, or outdated mindsets? It is a cosmic invitation to release victimhood and step into soul trust. 

Karmic Healing: Eclipses on the Pisces-Virgo axis highlight the balance between faith and practicality. Old patterns of sacrifice, escapism, or lack of boundaries may surface for final healing. Karmic clearing of old outdated soul contracts and attachments and releasing them with grace and peace is key.
Heightened Sensitivity: Dreams, psychic downloads, synchronicities, and ancestral messages may be stronger. The veil between worlds is thinner; meditation, ritual, and inner journeying are especially potent.
Collective Awakening: Pisces also rules the collective unconscious. A Blood Moon here may stir collective grief, compassion, or even confusion as old paradigms collapse. But it also seeds the power of Universal love, empathy, and unity consciousness.

Connection to Virgo New Moon (Sept 21st/22nd)

This Pisces Eclipse clears the old illusions and emotional baggage. Then, the Virgo New Moon (Sept 22) offers grounded, practical steps to rebuild in alignment with clarity, service, and sacred routines. Together, they form a soul detox + rebirth cycle: Pisces washes away, Virgo plants new seeds.

How to Work with This Eclipse: Write down illusions, fears, or toxic attachments you’re ready to release. Burn or dissolve them in water. Practice forgiveness (for yourself and others). Use meditation practices and focus on your third eye + crown chakras, allowing downloads and visions. Invite your higher self, guides, or ancestors to show you what is ending.
Embodiment: Ground through breathwork, yoga, or nature to balance Pisces’ flood of emotions. Use creative expression (art, music, writing) to channel what is being revealed.

Channelled Message for this Eclipse:
"The river cannot be held in the hands; it must be trusted to flow. This eclipse is the undoing of what you thought was yours to control. Let the tide take what no longer belongs, and know that in its place, clarity and divine alignment will rise. You are safe in surrender, for the ocean of spirit carries you where you are meant to go."

Sun in Virgo Opposite Saturn Retrograde in Pisces

Sun in Virgo highlights discernment, order, practical steps, health, daily rituals, and the pursuit of excellence. It wants clarity, organization, and measurable progress. Saturn retrograde in Pisces represents karmic reviews around boundaries, illusions, compassion, spiritual maturity, and surrender. It asks us to restructure our spiritual practices, our emotional lives, and our ability to balance responsibility with faith.
When they oppose each other: This aspect can feel heavy if resistance is strong, but it is deeply liberating when you step into the maturity of both signs: Virgo’s devotion to daily sacred service and Pisces’ surrender to divine timing. Together, they build a bridge between heaven and earth.

You may experience:

Tension between order (Virgo) and flow (Pisces). You may feel pulled between controlling life with routines vs. trusting the unseen and letting go.
Reality checks in spiritual and material matters. Saturn retrograde demands accountability—if you’ve been avoiding responsibility (in relationships, finances, health, or soul purpose), this opposition can bring a stark moment of truth.
Healing through integration. Virgo says: “Here’s the plan.” Pisces says: “But spirit may have other plans.” The invitation is to balance strategy with surrender.

Spiritual Relevance

Eclipse Amplifier: Since this happens right after the Pisces Lunar Eclipse (Sept 7), the opposition adds karmic weight. Old cycles of self-sacrifice, martyrdom, or avoiding responsibility may collapse. The lesson is not to escape but to embody your spiritual wisdom in grounded ways. Be self aware of any spiritual bypassing habits in order to allow yourself to fully release and create space for what is aligned with the best version of you.
Karmic Review Point: Saturn retrograde in Pisces often brings back themes from early 2023–2024 when it first entered Pisces. This opposition may show where you’ve matured spiritually—and where avoidance, illusion, or over-idealism still exist.
Body-Spirit Balance: Virgo rules the body, health, and earth-plane responsibilities. Pisces rules soul, dreams, and divine connection. This aspect asks you to bridge spirit and matter—to live your spirituality in your daily actions.

How to Work With This Energy

Ground & Surrender: Spend time both in ritual grounding (earthing, journaling, nutrition) and in spiritual surrender (meditation, prayer, water rituals).
Examine Illusions: Ask: Where am I lying to myself or clinging to fantasies? Where can I choose clarity instead?
Take Responsible Aligned Steps: Virgo insists on concrete action. Even small, conscious, consistent steps now will anchor long-term healing.
Healing Practices: Somatic work, breathwork, sound baths, or dream journaling are especially powerful to integrate the Virgo-Pisces polarity.
Mantra: “I balance structure with flow, clarity with compassion, responsibility with faith.”

September 12th - Sun in Virgo squaring Jupiter in Gemini  

On September 12, the Sun forms a challenging square to Jupiter in Gemini. This dynamic clash sparks energy, optimism, and inspiration, but also a risk of overcommitting, inconsistency, or scattered focus. This transit could initiate indecision where you may worry about eliminating ,making the wrong choice or biting off more than you can chew. You might also feel bogged down and accidentally do something to self-sabotage or cause drama in your life.

Spiritual Significance

Burst of Creative Fire: This transit triggers a surge of ideas, enthusiasm, and expansive thinking. Spirit is inviting you to dream bigger—but to keep your feet firmly grounded.
The Temptation of Excess: Pisces themes earlier in the month may blur boundaries; this square can amplify that by pushing you toward too much—too many projects, too many ideas, or unrealistic goals.
Lesson in Balanced Expansion: Spirit asks: "How can what you pursue honor your values, integrity, and well-being?" This transit challenges you to balance growth with discernment.
Seed for New Pathways: While Jupiter amplifies, the energy here helps you plant inspired intentions—if channeled wisely. Virgo's detail orientation gives Jupiter’s vision form.

How to Work with It
Clarify what's important: ask yourself “what is truly aligned with the best version of me?” open yourself to making conscious choices that are in harmony with the best version of you, whether it's physical, emotional, mental or action based. What are you “consuming” and is it aligned with your highest good and best version of you (what are you listening to, watching, eating, drinking, who are you associating with, what thoughts are you choosing etc). 

Focused intension: align your inner harmony with your outward actions. Create from love over fear, build from joy over obligation, nurture your actions with inner peace. 

Use mindful momentum: make choices based on alignment over unhealthy habits or attachments. How you “feel” is your guide when in motion and making choices. 

In essence, this transit is a cosmic spark, inviting you to dream expansively, speak your truth boldly, and grow with grounded purpose. It’s the universe saying: Invite inspiration, but build it consciously and wisely.

September 13th - Mercury Cazimi in Virgo

A Cazimi happens when Mercury (the mind, communication, messenger of the gods) aligns within 1° of the Sun (the Self, consciousness, life force). It’s often described as Mercury "sitting in the heart of the Sun." Instead of Mercury being burned out by the Sun’s rays (combust), its power is purified and strengthened.
In Virgo — Mercury’s home and exalted sign — this alignment becomes doubly potent. Virgo is about discernment, clarity, devotion, embodiment, sacred service, and practical wisdom.

This is a moment of illumination of the mind. Think of it as your thoughts being placed directly in the divine fire of the Sun, burning away illusions, self-doubt, and confusion. What remains is pure knowing, truth, and inner clarity. Because this Mercury Cazimi in Virgo happens within the same month as the Pisces Lunar Eclipse and Saturn retrograde back into Pisces, it feels like Spirit is aligning you to cut through illusion (Pisces fog) with Virgo clarity. It’s like the cosmos saying:

Highlights and Overall themes

Downloads and insights can come quickly and clearly.
Old thought patterns dissolve, leaving space for higher wisdom.
It’s a reset for the nervous system and the thinking mind.
Communication becomes sacred service when aligned with the heart.
Crystal clarity around something you’ve been overthinking. A sense of knowing what to do next without doubt.
Receiving signs, messages, or synchronicities that feel divinely timed. This is a seed point for new mental pathways, you may find the next 3 months are about living more from your inner knowing rather than external noise.

A breakthrough in writing, speaking, teaching, or healing work.
Spiritual connection to the "Voice within" (higher self, guides, intuition).

How to Work with the Energy

Meditation Practice: Sit in silence and imagine the Sun at your solar plexus and Mercury at your third eye, now see them merging into a golden-white flame that clears mental fog.
Automatic Writing: Journal during the Cazimi window, insights that come through may feel like direct transmissions.
Affirmation:
“My words are infused with light, my mind is clear, and my path is revealed.”
“I receive divine wisdom with clarity and ease.”

September 17th - Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

The Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is one of the most spiritually charged lunations of the year. This eclipse feels like a soul reset at the end of an old karmic chapter and the beginning of a new level of consciousness. If worked with intentionally and consciously, it can liberate you from lingering fears and prepare you for the big spiritual shifts and transitions coming. 

Astrological aspects that empower the Eclipse

Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces: This is not just an ending but a karmic culmination. Pisces governs intuition, dreams, compassion, illusions, and transcendence. Under an eclipse, hidden truths surface, veils lift, and deep emotional patterns are released.
Sun in Virgo opposite Moon in Pisces: Virgo seeks order, clarity, and healing of the body/mind; Pisces seeks surrender, flow, and healing of the spirit/soul. This opposition calls us to balance practical structure with mystical faith.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces nearby: Lessons in boundaries, spiritual maturity, and karmic accountability. It can feel like a spiritual “final exam” before new chapters unfold.
Jupiter in Gemini squaring the lunation: Expansive yet scattered energy. The collective may feel overloaded with information, media, or mental chatter. Discernment and grounding will be key.
Mercury cazimi around this time: Amplifies divine downloads, insights, and sudden clarity through synchronicities, dreams, or conversations.

Spiritual Relevance

Release of karmic cycles: Lunar eclipses mark closures of old soul contracts, especially in emotional or spiritual areas. You may feel like a door is closing on illusions or old wounds.
Dreamworld & visions amplified: Expect potent dreams, psychic awakenings, and revelations. It’s a thinning of the veil moment.
Collective shadow surfacing: Pisces rules illusion, escapism, and denial — some may face truths they’ve avoided. On the flip side, heightened compassion and forgiveness can rise.
Surrender & transcendence: Unlike ordinary Full Moons, eclipses ask you not to manifest but to release, trust, and allow higher alignment.

Themes You May Encounter: Endings or shifts in relationships, jobs, or identities tied to old emotional cycles.
A push to let go of victimhood, martyrdom, or co-dependency patterns (Pisces shadow).
Heightened intuition guiding you toward a new timeline.
Realignment in areas of spirituality, creativity, or healing work.
A strong desire to rest, reset, and integrate instead of pushing forward. Flow don’t force!

How to Work with This Eclipse

Surrender: Light a white candle, sit quietly, and write down what you are ready to release, fears, attachments, illusions. Burn the list and breathe through the release, feel the energetic weight leaving you.
Water Element Healing: Take a salt bath with lavender, mugwort, or blue lotus. Let the water wash away psychic heaviness, energetic weight of others, your past and whatever you have been carrying that no longer serves you. Pisces being a water sign makes this very powerful.
Dreamwork & Meditation: Keep a dream journal by your bed, messages from the unconscious and spirit guides will be strong. Meditate with frequencies like 528 Hz (heart opening) or 963 Hz (pineal activation) to open channels of divine clarity, 396Hz  and 417Hz (release) these frequencies help clear fear and negativity and release emotional blockages.
Compassion Practice: Practice forgiveness (to self and others) to free yourself from karmic weight. Pisces teaches unconditional love, but with healthy boundaries (Virgo’s lesson). Free yourself from attachments, trauma bonds, unhealthy relationships, unhealthy habits, etc. Unconditional love is not about holding onto the physical, it's about the freedom to move forward with love and peace.

Ground with Virgo Energy: Journal practical ways you can bring spiritual insights into daily life. Example: if Spirit says “trust more,” ask: How do I trust more in daily practice? Incorporate healing practices that align you with the best version of yourself ie: using mindfulness practices, working with the 80/20 rule, being self aware, taking accountability for yourself, choosing to “BE” the best version of you.

Affirmations for the Eclipse

“I release the illusions that no longer serve my highest path.”
“I trust the divine flow and surrender to my soul’s unfolding.”
“I am both grounded in truth and open to divine guidance.”
“What is meant for me will always find me; I let go of resistance.”

September 18 - Mercury enters Libra 

Astrological Aspect: Mercury, the planet of communication, enters the air sign Libra.
Theme: Diplomacy, relationships, fairness, balance. Conversations shift from Virgo’s analytical precision into Libra’s relational focus.
Spiritual Meaning: This is a time to bring harmony into your words and thoughts. Mercury in Libra invites heart-centered conversations, seeing both sides, and speaking with compassion. Spiritually, it’s an invitation to practice active listening and soul agreements—how your words ripple into others’ journeys.
Practice: Engage in mirror work or mantra meditation focusing on self-talk. Notice whether your inner dialogue is fair and loving, not just towards others but yourself.
Affirmation: “My words create harmony. I choose balance in how I think, speak, and connect.”

September 19th - Venus enters Virgo

Astrological Aspect: Venus, goddess of love, beauty, and abundance, leaves Leo’s passionate expression and moves into Virgo’s refined earth energy.
Theme: Love in the details, service as devotion, refinement in finances and partnerships.
Spiritual Meaning: Venus in Virgo teaches sacred service and mindful love. Spiritually, this is about honoring love through the small, everyday acts of care and devotion. Relationships may call for healing, grounding, and practical adjustments. Finances may shift towards budgeting, simplifying, or aligning with values. It’s about moving away from grand gestures and into sacred presence.
Practice: Offer love in tangible ways, prepare a meal, tend your body with herbs and rituals, clear your space. 

Journaling prompt: How do I show love in practical, embodied ways? What self-love, self-care practices can I in

Affirmation: “I honor love and abundance through mindful presence, care, and trust.”

September 22nd, (Equinox) - The Sun enters Libra - Autumn Equinox

The Sun moves from Virgo into Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. In essence, the Autumn Equinox feels like the cosmic integration point after weeks of powerful shifts (Saturn, Uranus, and the eclipses). It’s the sacred pause where you catch your breath, honor what has been, and choose consciously what seeds you’ll carry into the next cycle. The Equinox is a sacred pause where day and night are equal. This balance mirrors our inner life, asking us to align the light and the shadow, the outer world and the inner truth, inner harmony with outward actions. Spiritually, it is the harvest gateway, a time to gather what has ripened in our lives since the Spring Equinox and release what no longer serves. It’s also the entry into Libra season, ruled by Venus, which emphasizes harmony, beauty, relationships, love and justice. 

The integration of polarities with the Virgo-Pisces polarity from the earlier September eclipse is still reverberating. Virgo teaches discernment, service, and embodiment, while Pisces dissolves boundaries and invites spiritual trust. The Equinox integrates these energies by reminding us that true balance comes from wholeness and authenticity, not perfection or force. There may be shifts in relationships and higher purpose with this energy, with relationships taking center stage. It’s not just about romance, but about soul contracts, collaborations, and how we show up in harmony with others. The scales of Libra ask us: What am I giving, and what am I receiving? Where do I need balance? Is this relationship supportive of my peace, expansion and aligned with the best version of me? Do the relationships in my life feel peaceful?

Threshold energy happens with Equinoxes as they are portals of transition. The Autumn Equinox marks the descent into the darker half of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (inner reflection, stillness, shadow work) and the lighter half in the Southern Hemisphere (growth, outward creation, renewal). Wherever you are, the Equinox invites you to walk consciously through the threshold, honoring endings as much as beginnings.

Spiritual Relevance with September Astrology

Coming right after the Pisces Lunar Eclipse (Sept 7): The Equinox acts as an anchor point to integrate what the eclipse stirred up, dissolving illusions, karmic releases, and spiritual awakenings. By Equinox, you may feel clarity about what chapter is truly closing.

Venus in Virgo (Sept 19): Just before the Equinox, Venus grounds love into practical devotion — relationships and finances ask for simplicity and refinement. The Equinox will highlight whether your commitments feel aligned with your values.

Mercury + Sun in Libra (Sept 18–23): Communication and consciousness move into themes of harmony, justice, and collaboration. Around the Equinox, conversations may arise about balance in partnerships, community roles, or shared responsibilities.

Jupiter trine the North Node (Sept 3) still echoes here, the Equinox amplifies this sense of fated opportunities for expansion, especially if you’re aligned with your higher calling.

Ways to Work with the Autumn Equinox

Balance Ritual: Light two candles, one for light, one for dark  and meditate on where you need balance in your life. Journal: Where am I over-giving? Where am I over-receiving? What is my soul asking me to harmonize?

Harvest Gratitude: Create a gratitude list of what you’ve manifested since March (don’t focus on monetary things ie: healing from something, letting go of unhealthy habits, moving away from unhealthy relationships, feeling more peaceful within etc.). Celebrate your growth, even if small. Gratitude at Equinox opens the channel for abundance through the darker months.

Release Ceremony: Write down what you’re ready to release before entering the final quarter of the year, fears, patterns, relationships, beliefs. Bury or burn the list to honor the cycle of death and rebirth.

Equinox Meditation: Visualize yourself standing between two doors: one closing, one opening. Ask your higher self which lessons to carry forward, and which to leave behind.

Overall Themes: Equilibrium, relationships, justice, beauty, partnerships. The Sun illuminates Libra’s scales, bringing us into balance between light and dark, inner and outer.

Affirmation: “I walk in balance. I honor both giving and receiving in all relationships.”

Last week of September:

As we exit September we will be in the shadow aspects of both Juno entering Sagittarius (Oct 1st)  and Pallas going direct on Oct 4th. 

Juno, the asteroid of sacred partnership, commitment, loyalty, and soul contracts, shifts into fiery, truth-seeking Sagittarius. Where Juno was previously concerned with refinement, details, and discernment (in Scorpio), it now becomes expansive, adventurous, and philosophical. This is a shift in how we value relationships and what we commit to. Relationships as Spiritual Journeys and partnerships may begin to feel like opportunities for learning, expansion, and higher truth. Juno in Sagittarius asks: how can I be devoted without feeling trapped? It redefines commitment as a choice, not an obligation. Supporting building trusting, healthy connections without attachments. Some people may meet teachers, soulmates, or companions who broaden their worldview, not just offer romance. If there are relationships or contracts that keep you small, stressed, out of balance, this transit brings a fiery push to break free. This can bring opportunities for new partnerships (business, creative, or romantic) that align with your growth path. The energy says: “Choose the person (connections) or path that expands you, not the one that confines or limits you.”

Pallas Athene Stations Direct (after retrograde in Cancer/Leo); Pallas is the asteroid of wisdom, pattern recognition, and strategy. When she retrogrades, our inner vision turns inward: we review how we solve problems, access intuition, and see patterns in life. Even though she turns direct on October 4, the shadow phase extends until she clears the degree she retrograded from. This means late September will feel like a place or state of transition, existing as a "threshold" between one known state and another unknown one. The in-between, a place of conscious choice and  change. 

Her direct station represents a turning point: strategies and insights from the past months can now be applied outward. Lessons around family, emotional patterns (Cancer), and self-expression/creativity (Leo) now begin to show results, an integration of wisdom. Healing feminine lineages with this retrograde may have brought up ancestral wisdom, mother wounds, or inherited belief systems. Going direct allows forward movement in healing. Projects or visions that felt “paused” now find new momentum and while intuition sharpens; you can connect dots you couldn’t before.

The Shadow energy with Pallas in September:

Emotional Review – you may still be unpacking where your feelings cloud strategy vs. where your intuition guides it.
Inner vs Outer Wisdom – you’re learning when to act, when to wait, when to trust the gut, and when to check the facts.
Healing Still Integrating – expect themes of family, belonging, and creative power to linger until early November.
