September opens the eclipse season and brings one of the most transformative months of the year. What once felt stable may begin to shake, while what was hidden now comes to light. With Saturn re-entering Pisces, Uranus beginning its retrograde, and two powerful eclipses on the Pisces–Virgo axis, this month invites us to close old chapters and plant new seeds of clarity and purpose.

This is a month that feels like a bridge: on one side, the need to release what no longer has life; on the other, the invitation to refine, organize, and build structures that support growth.

Saturn in Pisces: Reviewing Boundaries and Responsibilities

September 1 – Saturn retrograde re-enters Pisces (until November 16, 2025)

Saturn’s return to Pisces reactivates themes that have been unfolding since March 2023. This is a time to evaluate emotional boundaries, relational maturity, and commitments to inner growth.

This transit may manifest as:

Reviewing responsibilities and emotional burdens.
Recognizing where we’ve given too much and where firmness is needed.
Consolidating spiritual lessons through practical experiences.

Saturn will remain retrograde in Pisces until November 16, 2025, when it turns direct, marking the definitive closure of a cycle of review and emotional maturation.

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: The Awakening of the Hidden

September 7 – Total Lunar Eclipse at 15° Pisces

The Full Moon becomes a total eclipse, revealing truths long buried beneath the surface. This lunation brings revelation and emotional release.

During this eclipse we are invited to:

Let go of old patterns of self-sabotage or victimhood.
Listen to the messages of dreams and the unconscious.
Accept that certain stages or bonds have run their course.

This event marks a point of no return: once revealed, the truth cannot be ignored.

Uranus Retrograde in Gemini: Inner Rebellion

September 6 – Uranus begins retrograde in Gemini (until January 30, 2026)

As Uranus moves retrograde, it prompts us to question beliefs, ideas, and mental identities that once seemed unshakable. The unexpected may arise not so much from the outside, but from within.

This transit supports:

Exploring new ways of thinking and communicating.
Detaching from narratives that limit personal freedom.
Innovating in studies, technology, and alternative paths of learning.

Uranus will remain retrograde in Gemini until January 30, 2026, when it turns direct and externalizes the inner transformations now being processed.

Solar Eclipse in Virgo: Seeds of Order and Clarity

September 21 – Partial Solar Eclipse at 28° Virgo

After a lunar eclipse that exposed wounds and revealed truths, the solar eclipse in Virgo offers fertile ground to organize, cleanse, and plant new intentions.

This is the perfect time to:

Create systems that bring efficiency and wellness.
Review health habits, work routines, and acts of service.
Open up to a new level of mental clarity and pragmatism.

The cosmos is asking for order: not a rigid order that suffocates, but one that provides structure to creativity and everyday life.

Venus in Virgo: Practical Love Between the Eclipses

September 19 – October 13

Between the lunar eclipse in Pisces and the solar eclipse in Virgo, Venus moves into Virgo, adding a crucial layer to the month’s energy. In this sign, the goddess of love becomes practical, discerning, and detail-oriented.

This transit can be experienced as:

Valuing acts of service and practical demonstrations of love.
Seeking relationships that work in daily life, not just in ideals.
Reviewing routines, habits, and dynamics that affect emotional and financial harmony.
Finding beauty in simplicity and mutual care.

The cosmic sequence of this period is very clear:

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (September 7): cleansing and releasing what no longer serves.
Venus in Virgo (September 19): bringing order and nurturing what we choose to keep.
Solar Eclipse in Virgo (September 21): planting new intentions in soil that has been cleansed and organized.

With Venus in Virgo acting as the bridge, relationships, creativity, and resources gain a practical way to be nourished in the midst of a month full of revelations and deep changes.

Autumn Equinox and the Sun in Libra: The Search for Balance

September 22 – Sun in Libra, start of the Equinox

With the Sun’s entry into Libra, a new cycle begins focused on balance, relationships, and justice. Mars also enters Scorpio, bringing intensity and determination to act with strategy.

This shift can feel like:

A need to harmonize relationships and resolve tensions.
An impulse to act with greater depth and purpose.
A call to balance the personal and the collective.

The equinox marks a turning point: half light, half shadow, reminding us of the importance of integrating opposites.

Conclusion: A Bridge Between Past and Future

September 2025 is a month of revelations and profound adjustments. With Saturn and Uranus retrograde, we are asked to review what has been learned and question what has been established, while the Pisces–Virgo eclipses show clearly what must end and what deserves to begin.

The entry of Venus into Virgo, right between the eclipses, adds a practical and relational dimension: which bonds and habits truly work in everyday life, and which ones must be transformed?

This is not a month of half-measures: it is a month to let go of what weighs us down, embrace truth even if it feels uncomfortable, and plant seeds of order and purpose that will support us in the cycles to come.

The sky opens a powerful threshold: what we close this month will be sealed, and what we plant will grow with strength in the years ahead.
