2025 September Astrology
SEPTEMBER IS FOR SURRENDER
With the Pisces/Virgo Eclipses, 9/9 portal, & all the inner planets shifting this month, it’s time to buckle your seatbelts & get ready to go with the flow!
As with every September, the prominent energies are around detail-oriented Virgo & balance-driven Libra. This month just has an extra kick of drama however due to this month’s eclipses forcing us to reflect on what needs to be dropped in order for us to come back to our purest, healthiest center.
The eclipses are always the big highlight of any cosmic year since they're the meeting of our luminaries along the nodes of fate.
What I've learned in school is that while free will & fate are both involved in our lives, eclipses are much more fate-driven & the free-will aspect is how we respond to the forced changes.
On 9/7, we'll experience a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, which is a hella heightened time of release (full moon) & surrender to spirit (Pisces) whose energy will be felt most intensely in the days leading up to & following the lunation.
Adding to that will be the 9/9 portal in this 9 year (2+0+2=5 = 9) which will allow us further opportunity to let go of anything that may have been eclipsed out over the weekend.
The Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo on 9/21 will touch on similar themes as the New Moon in Virgo we had on 8/23, but with much more potency.
If you want to get a general sense of what these eclipses have in store for you, consider any recurring themes surrounding events around the following dates when we last had eclipses along the service-oriented axis of Virgo/Pisces:
Mar 13-14, 2025 - Virgo Lunar Eclipse
Sep 17, 2024 - Pisces Lunar Eclipse
Feb 26, 2017 - Pisces Solar Eclipse
Sep 16, 2016 - Pisces Lunar Eclipse
Sep 1, 2016 - Virgo Solar Eclipse
Mar 8, 2016 - Pisces Solar Eclipse
Sep 12, 2015 - Virgo Solar Eclipse
Mar 20, 2015 - Pisces Solar Eclipse
Feb 21, 2008 - Virgo Lunar Eclipse
Sep 11, 2007 - Virgo Solar Eclipse
Aug 28, 2007 - Pisces Lunar Eclipse
Mar 19, 2007 - Pisces Solar Eclipse
Mar 3, 2007 - Virgo Lunar Eclipse
Sep 22, 2006 - Virgo Solar Eclipse
Sep 7, 2006 - Pisces Lunar Eclipse
Mar 14, 2006 - Virgo Lunar Eclipse
As above, so below. Almost all of the planets (including all personal ones) this month are redirecting their energies, so we’ll feel their influence. The image of dirty laundry being deep cleaned comes to mind with us being drowned & tossed around intensely in alternating hot & cold water, with an extra rinse cycle (the 2nd New Moon in Virgo) for good measure.
This is not the deep cleanse that we wanted, but it's the one we need.
Please, please, PLEASE carve out some decompression time for yourself during this time, whether solo &/or amongst those who you feel spiritually supported by. Eclipses are no joke, & this one will be particularly potent with karmic Saturn being in the mix & Uranus freshly going retrograde right before.
Without further ado, below is an overview of cosmic shifts happening this month.

PERSONAL NOTE
In line with what's written, I've been getting nudges to pull back on my activity this month in order to better flow with the extreme shifts in tide.
As a Capricorn Rising, any shift in sign by my chart ruler, Saturn, is significant. On top of that, I'm a Virgo Sun, & Libra Moon, so all of the above signs changing into or out of these signs (ESPECIALLY with the Eclipses being on the Virgo-Pisces axis) is giving me indication of being battered around a bit more than average. Cosmic wisdom is urging me to be more cautious & conservative at this time.
This is also strategic given next month coinciding with the new season of Texas Renaissance Festival which will take up every weekend, including the notorious period at the end of October when the veil is thinnest once again (Halloween/All Soul's Day/Samhain/Witches New Year).
So if you don’t see me for a bit, it’s because I’m trying to go with the flow. I’ll be getting “Bahala Na” (“Let go & let Bahala/God”) in baybayin tatted on my pendulum arm on 9/26 in acknowledgement of this time, especially given this all occurring during my 12th House profection year (which you can read about in my previous post).
Until further notice, best wishes!
And may the odds be ever in your favor.
