From Virgo to Libra, September 2025: Restructuring
Greetings Dear Astrology Lovers,
And happy birthday dear Virgo friends!
September is offering us an opportunity to look at the component parts of our lives critically and to restructure as we see fit. The New Moon of August 23 at 0° Virgo began to show us what is needed. Now, in September, we have the final two eclipses of the year, clearing the decks and allowing us to reassemble and reorganize new routines from old.
A second New Moon at the very last degree of Virgo (29°) – at the Solar Eclipse – highlights this principle of breaking down something in order that something else, something finer, may be rebuilt from it.
If we wish for a change in our health, in our daily routine, in our work, or in our relationships, we need to be prepared to walk through a brief stretch of darkness before we reach the light. Eclipses offer us this lawful period of darkness. It is inside the hollowed-out tree that transformation occurs, turning the decaying heartwood into a vibrant new ecosystem.
What new ecosystem do we wish to set in place after the Equinox on September 22?
MINDFUL SEPTEMBER PLANNER
1st – 2nd: Saturn retrogrades from 0° Aries to 29° Pisces. Saturn will remain in Pisces until mid-February 2026. Use the first week in September to reassess your ambitions – what do you really want? An honest answer gives you time to restructure, setting things in place for next year’s success.
6th-7th: The Total Lunar Eclipse takes place at the Full Moon at 15° Pisces on September 7, just a day after Uranus moves retrograde. Energy to order things is strong now with the Sun, Mercury and the South Node all in the sign of Virgo, while energy to merge and dissolve is equally present, with the Moon, Saturn and North Node all in the sign of Pisces. Be prepared to experience the tension between routine and chaos. Hold off on those life-changing decisions for now!
16th-18th: Mercury opposes Saturn, then moves to the Aries point and opposes Neptune. Stay positive during this time as worries may cloud your mind. There could be confusion or heavy thoughts over a certain issue, so keep life simple. Beware of spam emails, phone calls and other bait traps now. A good period to go for a long walk, write a poem or choose solitude over the crowd.
19th-22nd: Venus enters Virgo and squares Uranus, followed by a New Moon on September 21st at 29° Virgo, This New Moon is also a partial solar eclipse. These days herald in a period of potential cleansing, purifying and reordering. It could be one’s health, one’s routines, one’s space or something else which needs to transform. Lay low at the eclipse and consider discarding old mementos and faded photographs as the light of the Sun is suspended.
After the eclipse, the Sun glides into Libra on the 22nd – happy Equinox! And happy birthday dear Libra friends!
23rd: Action planet Mars swims into Scorpio, strong and sure. Use the rest of the month to restructure, reorganize and fine-tune your routines — welcoming in the new energies that need care over the next five months.
May the Sun shine upon you,
Catherine
