ARIES
September calls you inward. Since Saturn entered Aries in May, you've been running at full speed. As Saturn retrogrades into Pisces this month, settling into your 12th house of retreat, the pace slows. Rest, prioritize wellbeing, and tie up spring's loose ends. Recharge now, as Saturn returns to Aries by February 2026, and life accelerates again. The full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 illuminates your hidden 12th house, revealing what's been operating behind the scenes. Reflect on the late February Pisces new moon; whatever began then is now reaching fruition. What was invisible or unconscious now surfaces clearly. Jupiter rules the lunation, bringing a protective and positive influence that guides you in the right direction, so trust the process. September 21’s solar eclipse in Virgo activates your 6th house of health, work, and daily rituals. This eclipse can feel harsh. While solar eclipses typically bring new beginnings, this south node eclipse is about ending first—clearing what no longer serves you. What habits are detrimental to your wellbeing? Be mindful of your thoughts; Virgo's critical nature, combined with Saturn's pessimistic influence, creates a challenging duo. Instead, calm your mind, meditate, and do a digital detox. Something is ending; lie low, rest, and tend to your health. The next day, Mars enters Scorpio, shifting energy toward focused empowerment. Move slowly as you recalibrate—renewal is coming.
Friendships shift, endings clear space for renewal. September begins as Saturn retrogrades into Pisces, creating slower, reflective energy that aligns with your natural rhythms. Saturn re-enters your 11th house of friendships and aspirations for the next six months. You've been reassessing your circle, identifying who aligns with your values and offers deep, meaningful, supportive connections. Some friendships have ended, leaving you feeling excluded at times. These themes resurface now, offering opportunities to complete what was left unresolved from last spring. The full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 continues the theme, illuminating your 11th house. Full moons create endings, while eclipses amplify their impact, clearing the way for new and exciting possibilities. This eclipse points you in the right direction, with soulful friends offering meaningful support. Reflect on the developments of late February; those sparks may now bear fruit. September 21’s jarring solar eclipse in Virgo shifts focus to your 5th house of romance, creativity, and pleasure. Despite being a new moon, it falls on the South Node, bringing an ending before new energy can emerge. Expect sudden endings: a romance could collapse, a creative project may fall apart, or a source of pleasure could lose its spark. Endings may feel harsh and abrupt, yet they ultimately bring a sense of relief. Clear the way for a new beginning to emerge. Go within, trust your instincts, and calm your mind. Mars enters Scorpio on September 22, energizing your 7th house of relationships with magnetic renewal.
Career peaks, home life transforms with endings. Eclipse season is transforming your work and home life. Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces in your house of career. Since 2023, Saturn has been in your career house, and you've had to work hard for every success—it hasn’t been easy. You're almost at the finish line for achievement and recognition; trust the process, the cosmos has your back. On September 7, a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces illuminates your house of career and ambition. Reflect on late February: did you start something then? Now it is beginning to blossom. Ruled by expansive Jupiter, it offers growth, unexpected work opportunities, or a transition to something more meaningful. Trust what unfolds. It is a full moon in a water sign with immense, highly emotional feelings. Be gentle with yourself and create private time; you'll feel the intensity for 48 hours. For an eclipse, this one is hopeful. On September 21, a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo ignites your home and private life house. It is a new beginning; however, you must first end or release something before new energy can emerge. What needs to shift at home—perhaps your living situation or family themes? Your career focus may have led to neglect of your private life. Don’t resist endings; embrace them as they create opportunities for transformation. This marks the beginning of a new cycle, allowing you to balance your private and professional life with ease.
Expand your worldview, reset your restless mind. Since 2023, Saturn in Pisces has resided in your house of spirituality, travel, and learning. You've pursued profound self-growth, seeking what truly nourishes you and brings meaningful purpose to your life. Saturn moves back into Pisces at the month's start for its farewell tour, reminding you how to move through the world with a vastly different and more connected perspective. The September 7 lunar eclipse in Pisces activates this same area, a cosmic doorway beckoning you beyond familiar territory into realms of deeper meaning and purpose. Jupiter in Cancer rules the eclipse, guiding you in the right direction. Trust your intuition and expect breakthrough moments in your worldview, educational pursuits, and travel opportunities. On September 21, the new moon solar eclipse in Virgo ignites your 3rd house of communication, mindset, neighborhood, and siblings. Falling on the South Node, this eclipse is about endings and closures that lead you to the future. It carries harsh energy as the new moon opposes Saturn. Your mind may become frazzled and overwhelmed by pessimism or worry. You need a mental reset: limit social media, be intentional while on it, and learn to meditate to calm your mind. Mercury rules the eclipse, highlighting a blind spot where you’re not seeing something that affects you. Tune into your intuition for guidance—the energy will pass quickly. Mars enters Scorpio on September 22, stirring up romance, creativity, and pleasure, and you'll feel renewed motivation.
Money shifts, self-worth takes center stage. September is eclipse season, similar to hurricane season—unpredictable and intense. Since 2023, Saturn, the karmic teacher, has been dwelling in your house of finances, shared resources, fears, and inner angst. He now retrogrades back into Pisces to wrap up unfinished business, while September’s Virgo–Pisces eclipses activate your financial houses once more, continuing this storyline. The full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7 illuminates what you need to let go of. Reflect on late February, when the new moon in Pisces began its cycle—it was the start of something now coming into full realization.

The new moon solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21 ignites your 2nd house of money, cash flow, and possessions. Saturn opposes the new moon, bringing a harsh reality check. As a South Node eclipse, it’s about endings and closures that lead to profound changes. Virgo’s energy can fall into worry and micromanagement, but instead lean on its practicality and discernment. Reevaluate your spending and remember, Leo, your worth and self-validation do not come from possessions but are inherent within you. Eclipses bring confronting issues to the surface, so embrace the changes and keep a balanced perspective.
Happy birthday, Virgo! You’re in for a wild ride as eclipse season begins. Saturn returns to Pisces on September 1 for its farewell tour. For the past two years, you’ve been navigating relationship lessons, discovering who is truly your ride-or-die. Saturn has been sobering—demanding maturity, structure, and boundaries while teaching you to trust your intuition. Your evolution lies in accountability for yourself, not in projecting onto your partner or attempting to fix them. This eclipse cycle carries profound significance, as the karmic nodes moved into the Pisces–Virgo axis in January, marking the beginning of 18 months of spiritual evolution. On September 7, the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces illuminates your 7th house of committed relationships. Lunar eclipses mark endings and beginnings, and tender, intuitive Pisces reveals what is hidden or unconscious, flooding you with feelings.

On September 21, the new moon solar eclipse in Virgo activates your house of vitality and physicality. Opposing Saturn, it carries a harsh, unrelenting tone.

Saturn re-enters Pisces on September 1, moving through your 6th house of health, daily routines, and work for its final tour to resolve unfinished business.

On September 7, a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces illuminates your 6th house, bringing a turning point for your daily habits and overall health. The moon in Pisces floods you with feeling, often bringing a cathartic release. Jupiter, ruler of the eclipse, offers perspective and breakthroughs. Prioritize your connection between mind, body, and spirit—learn to meditate, practice tai chi or yoga, and explore alternative healing modalities. Be gentle and go within. This is not a time to be out and about but to retreat, tend to your well-being, and surrender to Pisces’ dreamy magic. The solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21 draws attention inward. In your 12th house, it reveals perfectionism, worry, and overanalysis that need clearing. With Saturn and Mars close by, the pressure is intense, yet endings bring freedom.

Pisces is the dreamer; now it’s your chance to turn those dreams into reality. Saturn shapes the creative process with discipline, yet leaves space for imagination.

The intensity passes quickly. On September 22, Mars enters Scorpio for six potent weeks, restoring vitality, confidence, and focus. You’ll feel recharged, empowered, and ready to move forward with strategic intent.
Home foundations shift, career doors open. Sagittarius, you’re a nomad at heart, yet September asks you to plant roots. Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces on September 1, returning to your 4th house of home, family, and foundations for its farewell tour. Since 2023, this has been a heavy period—messy family dynamics, blurred boundaries, and the hard work of showing up when needed. It hasn’t been easy, but maturity and resilience have been forged in the process. Now you’re called to reimagine what home means with greater clarity and firmer financial grounding. On September 7, a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces illuminates family matters once again. Lunar eclipses end cycles, clear blockages, and release what’s kept you stuck. This one, ruled by benefic Jupiter in Cancer, offers support and guidance. Think back to late February: if something stirred around home or family at that time, it may now be culminating in a breakthrough or release. Two weeks later, on September 21, the Virgo new moon solar eclipse sparks career changes. It’s a South Node eclipse, so endings must come first. Saturn opposes this eclipse, amplifying tension between family responsibilities and professional ambitions. While the process may feel stressful, a solar eclipse always ushers in a new beginning. Trust the fresh start—it holds the promise of stability at home and exciting opportunities ahead.
Set boundaries, seek meaning, embrace new horizons. September arrives with uncertainty as eclipse season unfolds, so stay adaptable. You get a reprieve as your ruling planet, Saturn, returns to Pisces on September 1 for six months, slowing the frantic pace of Aries you’ve been managing since May. Exhale—you can breathe again. For the past two years, your house of communication, learning, and siblings has been under Saturn’s dominion. You’ve been trying to establish guardrails and create boundaries around social media, technology, and endless text messages. Discipline has been essential—sticking to routines, meeting writing deadlines, and maintaining daily practices—and the effort has been anything but easy. Now you’ve been given another opportunity: ditch the cell phone, meet in person, work things out with siblings, and firmly set boundaries. Endless doom scrolling is an unhealthy distraction. Instead, lose yourself in poetry, music, writing, and the art of listening. On September 7, the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces illuminates these themes. Ruled by Jupiter, it offers meaningful support. Think back to late February, when the Pisces new moon planted seeds—now they can come to fruition.
