'These weekly posts aren’t predictions. They’re invitations. I’m not trying to tell you exactly what’s going to happen, because I can’t. No astrologer can. What I can  do is show you the terrain. The weather. The conversations The Gods are having up there, and in here . My intention with the weekly forecast is to help you feel  that. To give you a way in. To open a window of possibility. What might this transit feel like? Where might  it show up? What kind of emotional tone, friction, insight, or shift might be available if  you’re paying attention? Read it like a weather report. L et the words stir something. Then go live your week. Notice what plays out. Return and reread if you need to.' Read my weekly forecast manifesto in full here . 💫 Weekly Astrology 6th to the 12th of October A compacted overview this week because, with The Sun in my first house, I'm living the astrology and feeling it intensely, and as a result there's less room for anything else. 🌕 The Time Is Now What if everything is happening for you to grow and learn from? How would you approach your day if that were the case? If each conversation, delay, and disappointment was a mirror reflecting something you’re ready to see about yourself? The world has a way of showing us who we are. Every interaction offers a chance to wake up a little more. This week’s astrology invites us to look closely at those reflections. The Sun and Moon  stand in perfect opposition - Self and Other  - and the truth of this illumination is mirrored in the world around us. The task is to live the balance with grace. To move from awareness into practice. The aim is freedom and balance  - to be fully who we are  while staying open to the other . Aries / Libra. I am / We are. The time is now. 🌕 The Quality of Time: Week Beginning Monday 6 October The week begins under the Aries Full Moon , lighting the same part of the sky where the Aries New Moon and Solar Eclipse  took place on 29 March 2025 . That was a moment of rebirth and the first spark of a new beginning in the Aries part of your chart. Something awakened then: courage, self-definition, a call to act from truth rather than fear. It was the first inhale of a new cycle and now, six months later, this Full Moon brings the exhale. Ask yourself: What has the rebirth that began in March grown into? What truth is being revealed about who you’ve become? This lunation is a mirror between Aries and Libra . Between the instinct to stand alone and the grace of being together. The message isn’t to choose one or the other, but to integrate both. Stop controlling how others see you. Let go of the pressure to prove your worth, your strength, your passion. Surrender to vulnerability and allow your relationships to reflect what’s real. You do not need to self-sacrifice to be loved. The more truthfully you stand in yourself, the more room there is for love to meet you there. 🌊 Neptune: The Sea Beneath the Fire When that March eclipse occurred, Neptune entered Aries - a once-in-a-lifetime threshold. The God of the Sea stepping into the sign of fire. The dissolver entering the realm of selfhood. Since then, we’ve been redefining faith, spirituality, and identity . Neptune in Aries whispers: Wake up. Be who you are. Believe in what your soul knows is true. Now, as this Full Moon burns bright, Neptune prepares to step back into Pisces , returning to the ocean to finish what was left undone. This is the moment to gather the learning and to see what illusions have fallen away, what ideals remain, and what parts of you are ready to live with open-eyed faith. It’s a powerful image: The fire of Aries reflected on the surface of Neptune’s sea: passion meeting surrender, individuality meeting spirit. The self awakening to its divine source. ⚫ Pluto: The Underworld Turns This is also the last full week of Pluto moving backwards  before He stations direct. The God of transformation is gathering His power, preparing to turn forward once more. When Pluto slows, what lies beneath rises up. The deeper layers of truth, control, and fear surface to be seen to bring consciousness to what is coming next. If strong emotions, memories, or power struggles arise this week, trust that they are part of the preparation. Pluto never takes without purpose. He strips away what cannot continue so that rebirth can begin in truth. ✨ Practice This week, live as if everything is happening for  you and not to  you. Notice what the world mirrors back. Observe your reactions without judgement. When conflict or emotion arises, ask: What is this teaching me about how I love, give, and stand in myself? The practice is to stay awake within the tension and to move through it with grace. The aim is freedom. To be who you are, with others. To act from truth, without losing tenderness. To walk through this world as both flame and mirror. The time is now. 🪞 Weekly Transits: 6–12 October 2025 6 October – Full Moon in Aries (14°09') The week opens with fire and revelation. The Aries–Libra axis is fully alive, lighting up the balance between “I am” and “We are.” 6 October – Mercury enters Scorpio (0° Scorpio) The mind deepens. Conversations turn serious, intimate, and penetrating. We begin to see beneath appearances. Hidden motives, buried truths, and emotional honesty become unavoidable. Mercury in Scorpio helps us speak what’s real though the tone can be intense. Perfect for shadow work, deep emotional conversations, or transformative insight. 13 October – Venus enters Libra (0° Libra) (Note: Venus enters Libra late on the 13th, so its build-up will be felt through the week.) This is a homecoming. The Goddess of Love moves into Her own sign, bringing harmony, beauty, and balance back into relationships after the fiery independence of Aries. We begin to crave connection, softness, and peace. Mars  remains in Leo throughout this week, adding boldness and creative drive with a desire to express passion, courage, and joy openly. It’s a reminder that even amidst emotional work, the spark of life wants expression. Pluto  continues retrograde in early Aquarius, preparing to station direct the following week. This slowing intensifies His influence, drawing up emotional depth and evolutionary themes. ✨ Tone of the Week So the week’s flavour is a blend of Aries fire , Scorpionic truth , and Libran grace  - fierce honesty, emotional revelation, and the desire for harmony. Here’s how it all works together: The Full Moon  exposes truth in relationships. Mercury entering Scorpio  gives language to what was hidden and an invitation to have the conversation you’ve avoided. Venus moving toward Libra  restores sweetness after the storm with a reminder that connection thrives on honesty, not performance. Pluto’s slow turn  ensures that whatever surfaces has depth and staying power; it’s not fleeting, it’s evolutionary. Rising Sign Forecasts 🌕 Aries Rising This is your Full Moon , shining in the first house and lighting up your partnerships across the way. The focus is you and how you move through the world, how you meet the other. The last six months have been a rebirth of identity.

The hidden room of the soul - rest, endings, secrets, the unseen. Pluto  brings deep clearing through solitude, dreams, prayer, and release. Close what’s complete with grace and protect your quiet. 🌕 Collective Reflection Wherever this Full Moon lands for you, it illuminates the same essential truth: you are learning how to be yourself while staying open to others. The Aries–Libra axis  is the eternal dance between independence and interdependence - the self that acts and the self that relates. This week, that balance is being redefined. Neptune’s slow retreat from Aries back into Pisces softens the fire reminding us that spiritual strength lies in surrender. Faith, identity, and self-expression are being rewritten. At the same time, Pluto  prepares to turn direct, stirring deep awareness of what’s ending and what is ready to be reborn. We are clearing the underworld before stepping into the light of what comes next. Mercury in Scorpio  gives voice to hidden truths. Venus in Libra  next week will restore harmony where honesty has been spoken. Together, they remind us that love without truth withers, and truth without love wounds but when held in balance, both set us free. So wherever you find yourself this week, notice what the world mirrors back. See every interaction as a conversation between the Gods revealing who you are becoming. The time is now.

“ A fine balance of giving and receiving is essential for a healthy, thriving relationship. " Jump to section: Libra Qualities Libra Sun Libra Moon Libra Rising Libra Season Libra Season themes for each rising sign Book a reading with me Libra Season Harmony The Sun spends about a month in each sign, lighting our way around the wheel of the heavens. As He moves, He draws our focus to different areas of life, reminding us of the many chapters in our journey. The Sun is our guiding light, our sense of purpose. He wants each of us to shine as our true selves, walking our path with clarity and heart. From 22nd September to 22nd October (London) , the Sun will be travelling through Libra, the Air sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by The Scales . This is a season of balance, harmony, and connection. The question for us is: what does this mean for our own lives? And how can we work with the solar energy over the coming weeks to grow into more authentic and integrated versions of ourselves?

Libra is symbolised by The Scales symbolising balance, fairness, and the weighing of truth. This is the time of year when the nights begin to grow longer than the days. Darkness gently takes the lead from light. In ancient astrology, Libra was seen as the place where the soul descends into the underworld to be judged after death. It is linked both to the harvest and to the reckoning that follows. It is the moment of being weighed. Because of this, Libra carries themes of: Balance, judgment, and justice Fairness and beauty Discernment, evaluation, and harvest Image, vanity, and the difference between what is real and what is only surface Libra asks us to consider: what is truly fair, what is truly beautiful, and what is worth carrying forward when the harvest is gathered in?

Libra Season The Balance As The Sun moves into Libra, the air itself feels different. The days tip toward darkness, the evenings stretch longer, and there’s a softness in the light. Nature is showing us balance in action: fruit heavy on the trees, fields ready for gathering, the sky holding equal parts day and night. Libra season often brings a shift in how we relate to one another. You might notice a deeper pull to connect, to listen, to find common ground. The desire to smooth things over or make beauty where there is mess can feel stronger than usual. But this isn’t just about keeping the peace it’s about learning how to hold both yourself and  the other with honesty. This is a time for asking: Where in my life am I leaning too far to one side? What would bring me closer to the centre?  Libra teaches us to dance between opposites. To know when to speak and when to listen. To enjoy the elegance of a well-set table, a kind word, or a quiet moment shared with someone we love. If you want to work with this season, let it be simple: Notice beauty. Let it feed you. Practise fairness, especially in the small things. Choose connection, but don’t lose yourself in it. The gift of Libra season is the reminder that harmony isn’t about avoiding conflict or pleasing everyone it’s about finding the sweet spot where truth and love meet . From that place, joy flows naturally. The Sun in Libra through the Houses Ancient House Topics When The Sun moves into Libra, we enter a season of balance, beauty, and connection. It’s the equinox point, a time when day and night stand equal, and nature mirrors the invitation to find more harmony in our own lives. But balance doesn’t look the same for everyone. Where Libra sits in your chart tells us which part of life is being lit up right now. For some, it’s relationships. For others, it might be home, work, or health. The themes of Libra: fairness, beauty, connection, and truth, will weave themselves into these different areas depending on your rising sign. Think of this as a seasonal guide: a way to notice what’s shifting for you, where you might feel pulled, and how you can use this time for growth and joy. Aries Rising – Relationships (7th House) This season shines a light on your partnerships. You may notice where things feel out of sync in your closest bonds. It’s a good time to practice fairness and listen as much as you speak. Learn the art of compromise without losing yourself. Taurus Rising – Daily Life (6th House) Your routines and wellbeing get a boost of attention. You might feel pulled to tidy up your schedule, refresh your workspace, or make your habits more balanced. Small, beautiful changes in your everyday rhythm can bring surprising peace. Gemini Rising – Creativity & Joy (5th House) Pleasure calls. You may feel more inspired to create, play, or even fall in love with something or someone. This season invites you to share your joy, not just keep it to yourself. Let beauty be a source of connection. Cancer Rising – Home & Family (4th House) The spotlight turns inward, toward your home and private world. You might feel the urge to beautify your space or restore peace in family ties. Creating balance at home helps you feel emotionally secure. Leo Rising – Communication (3rd House) Words matter now. You could find yourself in more conversations, learning, or local connections. Libra season asks you to practise diplomacy. Say what you mean with kindness and listen just as carefully. Virgo Rising – Money & Values (2nd House) Your relationship with money and possessions comes into focus. You may feel called to bring balance to your spending or to invest in things that truly reflect your values. What you choose to keep says a lot about what you value in yourself. Libra Rising – Identity (1st House) This is your reset point. You may feel freshly aware of how you show up in the world and how others see you. It’s time to align your outer image with your inner truth. Small acts of self-care ripple out into everything. Scorpio Rising – Spiritual Life (12th House) You might feel the need to slow down, rest, or step back from the noise. Libra season offers a chance to restore inner balance through solitude, retreat, or healing work. Make space for quiet and let your spirit breathe. Sagittarius Rising – Community (11th House) Friends, networks, and future dreams are highlighted. You may notice which connections feel equal and supportive, and which don’t. This is a good time to refine your vision and align with people who share your values. Capricorn Rising – Career (10th House) Work and reputation take centre stage. You may feel more visible now, and with that comes the chance to bring fairness and grace into your professional world. Balance is key. Success doesn’t have to come at the cost of peace. Aquarius Rising – Beliefs & Growth (9th House) Big-picture thinking is lit up. You might feel drawn to travel, study, or simply explore ideas that expand your perspective. Seek philosophies that help you see both sides and bring more balance to your worldview. Pisces Rising – Depth & Intimacy (8th House) Relationships get deep. Issues around trust, sharing, and intimacy may surface. Libra season asks you to explore fairness in how you give and receive. Transformation happens when you find balance in your closest bonds. ✨ In summary:  Libra season invites all of us  to notice where things have tipped too far to one side, and to gently bring them back into balance. This isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating more ease, beauty, and fairness in the parts of life that matter most. ☀️ 💫 If you’d like to explore your own journey more deeply, you can book a personal reading with me through the link below.

Read my weekly forecast manifesto in full here . 💫 Weekly Astrology Forecast | 22–28 September 2025 What's the overall energy of the week? We begin this week on the other side of the eclipse; the air still feels charged, as if something unseen is lingering at the edges of our vision. Anxiety often arrives here, in the aftermath of endings, whispering that we are unsafe or unfinished. In my recent essays I asked, what if anxiety is a demon? , a shadow companion that appears to test our resolve rather than destroy us. This week carries that same flavour: a threshold has been crossed, and now we must decide whether to meet The Guardian with fear, or with steadiness. The Sun enters Libra on Monday at 19:19 BST, marking the Autumn Equinox and the balance point of the year. Day and night meet as equals before we step into the dark half of the cycle. Mars also enters His home sign of Scorpio at 09:19 BST, signalling fresh courage and sharp clarity, while the Moon slips into Libra just before the Sun. This is no ordinary change of seasons because it follows directly after the Virgo eclipse at the anaretic 29th degree, aligned with the South Node and opposing Saturn. Something has ended; perhaps not visibly, but in essence. Now, with Libra’s scales, we begin to find our footing again. Mercury in Libra and Venus in Virgo create a mutual reception this week, reminding us that dialogue, honesty, and practical care can restore harmony even where things feel broken. The question is: can we believe in a brighter tomorrow? Can we lean into trust, despite the daily news cycle and the clamour of doom? Beneath the noise, the outer Gods - Uranus, Neptune, Pluto - continue their supportive conversation through trines and sextiles. The Sun and Moon both touch these threads, echoing the invitation to rebuild faith. The Mars–Pluto square on Wednesday (24th) is the week’s pressure point, stirring intensity and perhaps confrontation. But Mars is at home in Scorpio; He is sharp-eyed, incisive, and purposeful. Rather than collapse into fear, this feels like the first confident step into a new chapter - decisive, clean, and true. Eclipse energy still runs strong all week, but there is movement now, and with it, hope. The Emotional Current This week may feel like a deep breath after a long, tense pause. Anxiety may still sit heavy in the body, showing up as restlessness, insomnia, or a gnawing sense of dread. But remember: demons thrive on our resistance. If we can sit with the discomfort, something else reveals itself beneath - the seed of trust. Mars in Scorpio is not afraid to go there; He is the God who dives into the underworld to transform. The flavour here is courage that doesn’t shout, courage that simply stays with what is. A Story to Hold Imagine standing at a gateway at dusk. Behind you, the light of summer fades; ahead, the path winds into shadow. At the gate waits a figure - Anxiety, The Demon, The Guardian. He is not here to bar your way, but to ask: Do you trust what you cannot yet see? Do you trust yourself? Do you trust the unseen hand of the Gods?  Step through with balance, with Libra’s poise. Mars in Scorpio walks beside you now. You are not alone. “Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.” — Søren Kierkegaard The eclipse has opened the gate; the equinox asks for balance; Mars in Scorpio gives us the courage to step forward with trust. 🕊 Closing Message If the week feels heavy, pause. Notice where anxiety shows up and greet it as a messenger, not a verdict. The Universe is not conspiring to undo you; it is shaping you for what comes next. Hold steady, breathe, and keep walking. If you are finding things difficult, or the energy at hand intense, have a read of this for some simple practices that may help: When The Astrology Is Intense Your Daily Snapshot All timings are British Summertime (BST) ✨ Monday ✦ Monday 22 September Mars enters Scorpio 09:19 | Sun enters Libra 19:19 | Moon enters Libra Daily Overview We begin the week at a turning point. Mars enters His home of Scorpio, sharpening the edge of our willpower and drawing us into deeper truths. Later, at 19:19 BST, the Sun enters Libra and marks the Autumn Equinox when day and night are perfectly balanced before we tip into the dark half of the year. The Moon also enters Libra, joining the Sun in this moment of symmetry. Inside, we may feel restless, even anxious, as if we’re being asked to cross a threshold without knowing what lies ahead. The body could buzz with adrenaline; the mind may seek reassurance. Outside, conversations about justice, fairness, or power dynamics may come to the fore mirroring our own inner scales. Practice of Noticing What does balance feel like in your body today? Where does it feel natural, and where does it feel forced? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Clarity about what no longer works; courage rising to face it. Outer:  Collective debates around fairness, justice, and hidden truths surfacing. Closing Thread The week opens with a gate: balance chosen, endings acknowledged, courage renewed. ✨ Tuesday ✦ Tuesday 23 September Sun in Libra opposes Neptune | Moon in Libra Daily Overview Today the Sun in Libra faces Neptune across the sky, and the air feels soft, porous, and heightened. On one side lies the Sun’s clear sense of self and balance; on the other, Neptune’s dissolving mist. At its most challenging, this can blur boundaries and stir confusion but Neptune is not only illusion. He is also the God who opens the veil, reminding us of our belonging to something greater than ourselves. Inside, we may feel both vulnerable and profoundly receptive. The anxious mind might spin stories, but beneath them runs a quieter current of unity, compassion, and spiritual truth. This is a day when the body may long for rest, music, or beauty that reconnects us to the timeless. Outside, we may see stories of deception or confusion in the collective but equally, moments of universal kindness, creativity, or collective longing for peace may surface. Practice of Noticing Where do I glimpse oneness today? What fleeting moment reminds me that I am not separate, but part of the whole? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Heightened sensitivity, yearning for connection, a taste of transcendence. Outer:  Illusion and confusion on the surface; acts of compassion, art, or shared humanity breaking through. Closing Thread Neptune blurs the edges, which may feel unsettling until we remind ourselves He does it so we can feel our place in the whole. ✨ Wednesday ✦ Wednesday 24 September Sun trine Pluto & Uranus | Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto | Moon in Scorpio Daily Overview The sky sharpens today. The Sun makes harmonious trines to Pluto and Uranus, while Mars forms a square with Pluto from His home in Scorpio. This is underworld energy so what was hidden wants to be exposed. It can feel intense, but it also brings breakthrough. Inside, we may feel pressure, restlessness, or the need to confront something directly. Anxiety may spike, but beneath it is raw courage. Mars in Scorpio thrives on truth, even when it cuts deep. Outside, expect confrontations, power struggles, or collective revelations. At the same time, Uranus’s trine suggests sudden insight, innovation, or liberation breaking through. Practice of Noticing What truth feels uncomfortable but unavoidable? Can I meet it without trying to control the outcome? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Tension, urgency, flashes of breakthrough insight. Outer:  Scandals, reform, or decisive action playing out in the collective. Closing Thread Intensity tests us, but breakthrough follows. Truth demands to be faced. ✨ Thursday ✦ Thursday 25 September Moon in Scorpio → Sagittarius 23:00 BST Daily Overview The Moon spends most of the day in Scorpio, keeping the tone introspective, emotional, and deep. We are still carrying Wednesday’s intensity, but the shift to Sagittarius late in the evening opens a window of relief and perspective. This is a day to sit with what has surfaced, without rushing to conclusions. Internally, moods may swing between heaviness and curiosity. There can be a need to purge, to clean, or to simplify. Externally, themes of secrecy or taboo may emerge, before the tone lightens and conversations turn toward travel, philosophy, or broader perspectives. Practice of Noticing What truth feels too heavy to hold alone? Can you allow the possibility of lightness even if only in a small corner of your day? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Emotional intensity; the pull to control or to release. Outer:  Stories about endings, inheritances, or resources shifting into broader questions about meaning. Closing Thread Through shadow we travel; Sagittarius reminds us there is always a horizon beyond the dark. ✨ Friday ✦ Friday 26 September Moon in Sagittarius Daily Overview With the Moon in Sagittarius all day, the tone lightens and widens. After the deep waters of Scorpio, we seek truth, philosophy, and big-picture clarity. This is a day for zooming out, for remembering that life is not only the intensity of the moment but the wider arc of the story. Internally, curiosity may stir and suddenly ideas and connections click into place. Anxiety loosens its grip when we let the horizon in. Externally, expect conversations around belief, travel, education, or the law to gain attention. Practice of Noticing What belief gives you comfort today and is it a belief you want to keep? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  A pull toward optimism; flashes of insight that shift perspective. Outer:  Collective discussions on freedom, justice, or philosophy. Closing Thread From intensity to vision, the journey widens; the horizon steadies the heart. ✨ Saturday ✦ Saturday 27 September Moon in Sagittarius Daily Overview The Moon continues through Sagittarius, extending yesterday’s themes of truth-seeking and expansion. There’s an ease to this day, though still shadowed by the week’s earlier events. This is a moment to consolidate and to piece together what you’ve learned from the eclipse and Mars’ bold entrance into Scorpio. Internally, a sense of integration may begin to form. The anxious edge softens as we glimpse coherence in what once felt fragmented. Externally, the collective may turn toward stories of exploration, cultural exchange, or justice. Practice of Noticing What fragments of this week’s story are beginning to fit together for you? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Relief, coherence, or restlessness for more. Outer:  The world zooms out - conversations about meaning, big shifts, or journeys. Closing Thread Understanding comes in pieces; today the puzzle begins to take shape. ✨ Sunday ✦ Sunday 28 September Moon in Sagittarius Daily Overview Sunday holds the same Sagittarian tone but brings a sense of culmination. After days of movement, the energy steadies, and we are asked to find inner harmony. This is less about searching and more about consolidating, choosing balance, choosing which beliefs will guide us forward. Internally, we may feel the desire for peace, or for a renewed sense of faith in life’s unfolding. Externally, watch for collective attempts to find harmony after discord, whether through agreements, cultural conversations, or shared rituals. Practice of Noticing What simple practice - breath, gratitude, stillness - brings you back to balance today? Inner & Outer Lens Inner:  Settling, balance, a clearer sense of direction. Outer:  Collective gestures toward harmony, healing, or reconciliation. Closing Thread The week ends in balance.

When the world tips pause and ask: What part of me is still steady? What truth remains? Am I willing to let balance be a practice? Balance in change looks less learning to sway with grace.

Tonight’s eclipse falls in Virgo, landing in my 12th house. And this week, The Demon called Anxiety has been loud. I've written about Anxiety as a Demon, with the idea that Anxiety is a presence you can name, meet, and even befriend. (You can read the full essay here → ). This Eclipse has brought The Demon to my doorstep. Which makes sense: the 12th house is the realm of shadows, of what lurks beneath awareness; the 6th house is where our bodies hold the weight. This eclipse season (we had a lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 7th of September) is pressing directly on those places in my chart. So here Anxiety is, rattling my cage, reminding me that life is fragile, that loss is always a mere moment away, that to love is to invite danger. I feel it most clearly as I settle my daughter (my youngest) at university, four hours away. I can’t feed her, can’t check she's sleeping safely and soundly in her bed, can't remind her what she needs to do, can't help practically when she is struggling, can’t hold her close. The Demon warns me of every possible danger. The Demon reminds me of every tiny thing that can go wrong, and leaves me wondering how I can possibly keep her safe. The Demon tells me there is inevitable pain in the future and I am almost overcome by the weight. What do I do with all of this fear? But eclipses show us what has reached its limit. They ask us to release what cannot continue. And so I am trying to thank The Demon. I understand where They are coming from. The Demon wants to keep me safe, after all. The Demon has kept me alert as I've raised my kids. But it's time for The Demon to sleep. We have new lives to live. To embrace. And Anxiety and Joy are not easy bedfellows. I am ready to let Anxiety go. I am ready to surrender into trust. For All of Us Eclipse season often stirs anxiety. The light disappears; the ordinary rhythm is broken. The old fear rises: What if I can’t trust the future? But the chart shows us where The Demon (or are They The Guardian? Read more   here → ) stands guard. If you know your rising sign, look to the Virgo house in your chart. That is the gate where Anxiety may whisper this week: In the 2nd, Anxiety warns of not-enough. In the 5th, Anxiety whispers that joy is dangerous. In the 7th, Anxiety hisses that love will leave. In the 10th, Anxiety shouts that success will expose you. In the 12th, like mine, Anxiety hides in the shadows, speaking through dread and dreams. The Demon takes a different shape for each of us, but the eclipse offers the same gift: to see him, to name him, and to step past him. A Question for the Eclipse What if Anxiety is not the ruler, but simply The Guardian at the gate? What if the warnings are not the truth, but the last trembling before you step into a new life? Tonight, as The Sun goes dark, you might ask: What fear am I ready to thank and release, so I can live the life I long for? Where The Guardian Waits: Rising Sign Guide During this eclipse in Virgo, the Demon of Anxiety may show up most strongly in the house Virgo rules in your chart. This is the gate where The Guardian stands, whispering his fears. Read for your rising sign: Aries Rising — 6th house The Guardian prowls through your daily work and health. Warning you that you’ll never get on top of things, that your body will falter, that the grind will never let up. Thank Anxiety for the vigilance, then release the fear that life is only duty. I am  willing to trust that my daily rhythm can nourish me. Taurus Rising — 5th house The Guardian waits in the realm of joy, love, and creation insisting pleasure is unsafe, love will wound you, and creativity will fall flat. Thank Anxiety for caring, then release the fear that joy is frivolous. I am  willing to trust that joy is a strength, not a weakness. Gemini Rising — 4th house The Guardian hides in your foundations: home, family, and belonging and whispers that safety is an illusion, that home can vanish, that roots are fragile. Thank Anxiety for the watchfulness, then release the fear that you cannot build a home. I am  willing to trust that I can create a home that holds me. Cancer Rising — 3rd house The Guardian clutters your mind and voice telling you your words will fail, that you’ll be misunderstood, that you’ll trip over yourself if you try to speak. Thank Anxiety for the caution, then release the fear of expression. I am  willing to trust that my words can carry truth and connection. Leo Rising — 2nd house The Guardian guards your money and your worth hissing that you’ll never have enough, that you are not enough. Thank Anxiety for wanting you safe, then release the fear of lack. I am  willing to trust that I am enough, and there will be enough. Virgo Rising — 1st house The Guardian stands right at your gate of self shouting that you’re flawed, that you’ll never measure up, that simply being you is unsafe. Thank Anxiety for the concern, then release the fear of being seen. I am  willing to trust that I am worthy exactly as I am. Libra Rising — 12th house The Guardian lurks in the shadows with a voice that is vague but heavy; filling dreams and moments of solitude with dread and telling you, you will always be alone. Thank Anxiety for trying to keep you alert, then release the fear of hidden enemies. I am  willing to trust that I am held, even when I cannot see how. Scorpio Rising — 11th house The Guardian circles your community and your hopes warning that you’ll be excluded, that the future will collapse, that belonging always costs too much. Thank Anxiety for the loyalty, then release the fear of disappointment. I am  willing to trust in the future I am building. Sagittarius Rising — 10th house The Guardian blocks your path in the world shouting that success will expose you, that failure is inevitable, that you’re not ready. Thank Anxiety for the vigilance, then release the fear of stepping up. I am  willing to trust that my work belongs in the world. Capricorn Rising — 9th house The Guardian follows you onto the path of faith and meaning warning that beliefs will fail you, that wisdom won’t hold, that the road ahead is too uncertain. Thank Anxiety for the warnings, then release the fear of walking blind. I am  willing to trust the wisdom of the journey. Aquarius Rising — 8th house The Guardian crouches in intimacy and shared resources whispering that love will abandon you, that dependence is dangerous, that loss is inevitable. Thank Anxiety for protecting your heart, then release the fear of connection. I am  willing to trust in the gifts that come from deep connection. Pisces Rising — 7th house The Guardian stands in relationship hissing that love is too risky, that commitment won’t last, that heartbreak is certain. Thank Anxiety for reminding you of your tenderness, then release the fear of being loved. I am  willing to trust that love is worth the risk. Wherever The Guardian stands in your chart, remember They are not the whole story. Anxiety is one voice in the council; loud, perhaps, but not absolute. Tonight’s eclipse invites us to see clearly, to be grateful for the vigilance, and to release the fear that holds us back. Beyond the gate there are other voices: Venus calling to love, Jupiter to growth, The Sun to life itself. The light will return. The path will open. An Invitation Eclipses stir what we cannot ignore. They wake The Guardian of Anxiety and bring Them to the gate, but they also remind us that They are not the only voice in the room. Your birth chart shows where Anxiety waits and how Anxiety speaks - through your body, your mind, your relationships, your work. But it also shows the council of other Gods around you; the places where love, faith, and possibility are calling you forward. This is the gift of sitting down with an astrologer. On your own, it can feel overwhelming; The Demon’s voice can drown out everything else. But together we can trace the threads, map the patterns, and remind you of your own strength. A reading offers clarity, perspective, and relief. It’s a tool to see yourself more clearly, to name what is real, and find the courage to step through the gate into the life you long for.

What if Anxiety is a Demon? Treating it as a Demon - a named, felt, bargaining, demanding presence - may be one of the kindest, most useful things you do for yourself; it moves the experience out of vague panic and into story, into relationship, into something you can meet, question, and sometimes even befriend. Why metaphor matters Calling Anxiety a Demon gives it shape; it stops being an amorphous, shame-laden fog and becomes a figure you can see. Jung called these inner figures “complexes” - autonomous, charged parts of us that act as if they have their own life. When you name something you can relate to it; you can bargain with it; you can spot its entrances and exits. Relating to anxiety as a demon is a practical tool that creates distance and invites dialogue. Think of it as a guardian who learned the wrong lesson; fierce, clumsy, and over-zealous. It’s trying to protect you from old hurts; it just uses terror as its method. Once you see that motive - protection, however clumsy - you can start to negotiate. What might The Demon of Anxiety want? A short list; useful to hold in mind: Safety ; even if it manufactures false threats to get it. Predictability ; chaos scares it, so it screams at the edges. To be noticed ; anxiety often escalates when ignored or shamed. Control ; it will trade peace for the illusion of having a little more certainty. How to speak with The Demon (a gentle, practical method) Name it.  Give it a silly or serious name; Naming loosens the grip of anonymous fear. Witness it.  Watch without judgment; notice where it lives in your body. Is it a tightness in the throat; a crawl beneath the ribs; a tidal wash behind the eyes? Label the sensation. Ask one question.  “What are you protecting me from?” or “What do you need right now?” One question; simple; no interrogation. Set a boundary.  Answer it: “Thank you for trying to keep me safe; I’ll listen from 5–5:30pm, but right now I’m doing X.” A time-limited worry works; it honours the Demon without letting it run the house. Make a small offering.  Rituals change the nervous system. Light a candle; write the fear on paper and burn it as an act of symbolic release; or pour water into earth and say, “I see you; I’ll hold you.” (You already use scribble & burn; this fits perfectly.) Micro-practices to stop The Demon in its tracks 5–4–3–2–1 grounding:  name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste; it brings you back to the room. Breath anchor:  inhale for 4; hold 4; exhale 6. Repeat four times. Time-boxed worry:  give The Demon 15 minutes later in the day; write everything down in that window and then close the book. Move the body:  a slow walk with attention to the feet; the world and the body both calm when you move with attention. Ritual of container:  take an old jar; write worries on scraps of paper; fold them into the jar; put the lid on. The act of containment matters. A short script you can use Sit; breathe; place hand on heart. Say aloud or write: “I see you, Demon. I know you work for me. Thank you for trying to keep me safe. Right now I need to do X, so I’ll give you 20 minutes at 6pm to say what you have to say. Until then, you can sit quietly.” This voice - firm, kind, motherly, practical - interrupts the cycle without shaming it. When The Demon is violent and needs help If anxiety is so fierce it’s stopping you from living; if it brings thoughts of harming yourself; if you can’t keep yourself safe; get help. Contact your GP; call emergency services if you are at immediate risk; reach out to a therapist who understands trauma and nervous system work. Metaphor helps, but professionals and medicine are sensible allies when the body is overwhelmed. A small story (short, true to life) Imagine you wake at 3am and The Demon is loudly rehearsing catastrophe; you are its audience. Instead of arguing back, you sit up; light a soft light; take a notebook; write exactly what The Demon says for five minutes without punctuation. Then fold the page; place it in a small box; put the box on a shelf labelled “For Later.” Make tea. The act of noticing, naming, and shelving is astonishingly disarming. The Demon learns you listen. You learn that you can converse with The Demon without being overwhelmed by it. Journalling prompts to try today Name The Demon. What does it look like? What is its voice like? What does it think will happen if you stop listening to it? Where in your body do you meet it first? Describe the sensation. What would be a tiny deal you could make with it right now? Closing: an affirmation and a tiny ritual Try this line: “I thank you for trying to keep me safe; I will not make fear my ruler.”  Say it aloud; place your hand over your heart and breathe three times.

There is a figure who waits at the edge of the path. It is not an enemy, though at first They may look like one. Eyes dart, shoulders twitch; breath rattles in your ear. This is Anxiety. Anxiety is not here to harm you . Long ago Anxiety took an oath to keep you safe. Anxiety learned that the only way to guard you was to frighten you into stillness; to whisper of disasters, to warn of losses, to shout down the wild leap of your heart before it could carry you into danger. Anxiety is the old sentinel at the gate, working with the only tools Anxiety knows. When you meet Anxiety, you might mistake Them for a demon. Voice is sharp; presence heavy. But if you sit with Anxiety a while, if you relate to Them with kindness and compassion, you begin to see that Anxiety is simply young in wisdom. Anxiety never learned that safety does not mean stillness, and that love cannot bloom in a locked room. You can thank Them. You can say: I know you wanted to keep me alive, and you have. I am still here. But now I want more than survival. I want to live. And when you say this, perhaps Anxiety's grip will loosen. Anxiety will still appear at your side from time to time. Guardians do not retire easily. But Anxiety will soften when you hold the truth: Yes, living and loving is a risk. Yes, the future is uncertain. But it is not only danger that waits there. It is also joy, wonder, the unexpected kindness of the world. This is the gift we can hand down, from one heart to another, parent to child, elder to younger, soul to soul: You are not wrong to feel afraid. But you are also free to walk past the gate. The Guardian will learn to trust you, as you learn to trust yourself. For some practical ideas on how to relate to your anxiety read this: What if Anxiety is a Demon?

Read my weekly forecast manifesto in full here . 🕯️ Astroweather | 15-21 September 2025 What's the overall energy of the week? We begin the week under the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini . This is The Moon’s invitation to turn inward, to reflect, and to prepare for the cycle’s close. The waning phase is not about pushing forward but about integrating what has already been set in motion. We are moving through the final days of Virgo season, with Mercury freshly reborn through the heart of The Sun. Clarity is available, and the task is to sort, refine, and prepare the ground before Sunday’s solar eclipse in Virgo. This is also the last week before the equinox: The Sun begins His descent into the dark of winter, and symbolically we enter the season of release, where endings feed the soil of beginnings. A solar eclipse with the South Node is like The Universe opening a door to let something old fall away. The South Node is linked to the past, not just our personal history, but deep patterns that can feel bigger than us. Habits, stories, or ways of being that once kept us safe but now hold us back. So when the eclipse happens here, it acts almost like a cosmic clearing. Life shows us what is ready to be surrendered, whether it’s a mindset, a routine, a relationship dynamic, or a belief that no longer serves. It isn’t always easy, because these are often things we’ve clung to for a long time. But letting go creates space for something new to take root. This is the natural composting of what has run its course. Think of it as the soil being cleared so the next season’s growth has somewhere to rise. Virgo reminds us this work is done both in mind and in body. The world is in flux, but clarity comes from finding a safe centre within. ✨ Key transits this week: Mars sextile Venus  | Building Monday, perfects early hours Tuesday — action and desire align, supportive for grounded choices. Mercury opposite Saturn in Pisces  | Midweek — clarity meets resistance, testing truth against limits. Mercury enters Libra  | Thursday — communication shifts toward balance, harmony, perspective.

This is the phase of turning inward, gathering the threads, and preparing to let go. Gemini reveals the mind, the chatter, the stories we tell, the beliefs we repeat. Mars and Venus are drawing together in harmony, asking us to notice how our actions and desires align. Within:  Pay attention to your thoughts. Where do they race, repeat, or resist? What patterns of thinking keep you from feeling centred? Without:  Notice how the world speaks through news, conversations, or messages. Where do you feel pulled into fear or division?

Words meet limits, clarity meets resistance. This foreshadows the eclipse: what must be released will not be avoided. Within:  What feels heavy or restrictive? Where do your own words or thoughts tighten around you? Without:  Notice where structures, rules, or boundaries hold you back, or hold you steady. How do you react when you meet resistance?

Can you sit in the tension between the rational and the transcendent without forcing one to win? ✨ Friday Friday 19th Sept | Mercury trine Uranus & Pluto | Venus enters Virgo The Messenger forms a kite in the sky. Still opposing Neptune while in expansive conversation with Uranus and Pluto. Breakthroughs, fresh clarity, piercing truth. Themes return from when Mars entered Libra (6th August). Venus enters Virgo, turning Her gaze from grand display to quiet devotion. Within:  What sudden insight lights up your understanding? Where does clarity break through old patterns?

The Moon enters Her balsamic phase and we feel the darkening before renewal. Within:  Where are you clinging to comfort in love or self-worth? What unexpected shift unsettles you, and what does it reveal? Without:  Notice disruptions in relationships, finances, or routines. Surprises may break patterns that have grown too rigid. Contemplation:  The Goddess of Love meets the God of Surprise. He shakes what She tries to hold. Can you trust that disruption is part of renewal? ✨ Sunday Sunday 21st Sept | Solar Eclipse in Virgo (29°) opposite Saturn in Pisces The New Moon arrives as a solar eclipse at the final degree of Virgo. It stands opposite Saturn, marking a karmic turning point. With the South Node here, this eclipse clears away old habits and patterns that no longer serve. Virgo reminds us that this release touches both body and mind. Tomorrow, the Sun enters Libra and the equinox arrives. We stand at the cusp of endings and beginnings. Within:  What habits, systems, or beliefs feel tired, heavy, or controlling? What is your body asking you to release? Without:  Notice where life shows you what is ready to end. Patterns, routines, or dynamics that cannot be carried forward. Contemplation:  The God of Time stands opposite The Sun and Moon. He asks for surrender, for humility, for clarity. Letting go is not loss. It is making space for what longs to be born. Learn more about Sunday's Solar Eclipse including rituals and affirmations for each rising sign: Solar Eclipse in Virgo: The Hand of The Goddess 🌿 Closing Reflection As Virgo season draws to a close and the equinox approaches, we are reminded that endings are part of the natural order. The Gods show us that release is not a failure but a turning of the wheel, a clearing that makes space for what is to come. Trees shed their leaves and let go, and we trust that they will be green and vibrant again in the spring. So it is with us. “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” — Unknown Rising Sign Forecasts Solar Eclipse Week We are deep in the eclipse corridor. The total lunar eclipse in Pisces has passed, and the partial solar eclipse in Virgo is waiting at the week’s end. These eclipses fall across the Virgo–Pisces axis, and so the work of this moment lives in those two houses of your chart. Why these houses? Because eclipses always illuminate a polarity. Pisces is where Saturn has been journeying: testing, restricting, teaching through limits. This eclipse opposite Saturn marks a karmic close to that story. A “no” may have felt heavy here, but in time we may see it cleared space for a “yes” more aligned with purpose. Virgo is where clarity returns, where Mercury’s rebirth last week and this week’s eclipse offer integration and a chance to begin anew. Together, these signs remind us that we are both spirit and body. We cannot see the whole picture, but we can trust that there is  a larger story unfolding. Pisces whispers of divine purpose, even when we do not yet understand. For each rising sign, notice what is surfacing in Pisces, and then anchor into Virgo as a way forward. The invitation is to surrender what must be released, and to embody what is ready to live. ♈ Aries Rising Pisces (12th house):  Hidden fears, isolation, or subconscious patterns reach their limit. Virgo (6th house):  Health, work, and daily care bring clarity and renewal. Contemplation:  Where has restriction taught me to honour my wellbeing? ♉ Taurus Rising Pisces (11th house):  Friendships, communities, or old visions of the future dissolve. Virgo (5th house):  Creativity, joy, and children return you to life. Contemplation:  What “no” in belonging has made room for my joy? ♊ Gemini Rising Pisces (10th house):  Career roles or public identities reach closure. Virgo (4th house):  Home, family, and inner foundations anchor you now. Contemplation:  Which door closing in vocation makes way for a truer root? ♋ Cancer Rising Pisces (9th house):  Beliefs, studies, or long-held ideals fall away. Virgo (3rd house):  Daily words, learning, and local rhythms bring renewal. Contemplation:  Which certainty dissolving makes space for lived truth? ♌ Leo Rising Pisces (8th house):  Shared resources, debts, or entanglements reach their end. Virgo (2nd house):  Personal worth, income, and stability offer clarity. Contemplation:  What tie of dependency has Saturn shown me is ready to release? ♍ Virgo Rising Pisces (7th house):  Relationships show their limits or dissolve old patterns. Virgo (1st house):  The eclipse illuminates your clarity and embodiment. Contemplation:  Which “no” in partnership frees me to become fully myself? ♎ Libra Rising Pisces (6th house):  Old routines, work rhythms, or health habits end. Virgo (12th house):  Spiritual retreat, rest, and hidden resources guide you forward. Contemplation:  What discipline or limit has taught me to listen within? ♏ Scorpio Rising Pisces (5th house):  Old loves, creative blocks, or wounds around joy come to closure. Virgo (11th house):  New vision, community, and alliances open the path. Contemplation:  What loss in joy has made space for new people and dreams? ♐ Sagittarius Rising Pisces (4th house):  Family stories, home, or ancestral roots dissolve. Virgo (10th house):  Purpose, vocation, and public role clarify. Contemplation:  Which endings at home prepare the ground for my calling? ♑ Capricorn Rising Pisces (3rd house):  Old stories, siblings, or thought patterns come to completion. Virgo (9th house):  Study, philosophy, and wider horizons open. Contemplation:  Which small story dissolving allows the bigger vision to arrive? ♒ Aquarius Rising Pisces (2nd house):  Old attachments to money, survival, or possessions loosen. Virgo (8th house):  Shared resources, trust, and deeper bonds transform. Contemplation:  What “no” in security has prepared me to trust more deeply? ♓ Pisces Rising Pisces (1st house):  Old versions of self, body, or identity fall away. Virgo (7th house):  Partnerships mirror the new self taking form. Contemplation:  Who am I becoming when I release the old image of me? Saturn stands opposite the eclipse, reminding us that His “no” is never without purpose. Restrictions, endings, or disappointments may feel like walls, but often they are thresholds. A “no” may in time be understood as protection, or as the making of space for something better aligned. Pisces reminds us that we do not always see the full picture. There is a divine order at work that stretches beyond our understanding. The invitation of this eclipse is trust and to believe that what falls away is part of a greater weaving, and that the “yes” meant for us will not pass us by .

And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week 15 This week’s solar eclipse in Virgo stands opposite Saturn in Pisces. It is here that we feel the weight of limits, endings, and reality checks, yet also the invitation to trust what we cannot see. Saturn teaches us that not everything is ours to have or to hold, while Neptune whispers that there is a divine purpose moving beneath it all. Together They remind us: what is here and what is beyond sit side by side within us. We are both matter and spirit, bound by time and yet held by eternity. It matters now because the world feels unsettled, noisy, and divided. We are living through times when chaos and fear can easily overwhelm. The old line comes to mind: “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”  This is the task of the week. How do we keep ours? By going within. By tending our inner flame. By cultivating faith, grace, and resilience. We can't deny suffering, but we can hold the light in the midst of it. With Neptune still in Aries, divine presence expresses itself in courage and earthly action. With Saturn back in Pisces, the divine asks us to accept limitation, surrender, and trust. Both are sacred. Both are needed. And we are invited to embody them together. Steady enough to endure, open enough to believe.

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

On Sunday the 21st of September 2025 The Sun will be partically swallowed by The Moon’s shadow at 29° Virgo. A solar eclipse. A moment when the light of The Sun, the vital force of life, is obscured. The new cycle begins not in brightness but in darkness. Eclipses are never ordinary. They are thresholds, fated chapters in the long story of our lives. The last lunar eclipse in Pisces called us to let go. This one in Virgo asks us to begin again. The Archetypes at Play This eclipse falls in Virgo, the sign of the Virgin Goddess, She who tends, who sorts, who devotes Herself to the work of care and discernment. Virgo is about the holy woven into the everyday: the sweep of a floor, the pattern of breath, the order that allows life to flow. A solar eclipse here draws us into a new cycle of service, healing, and humility. But The Sun’s light is swallowed in the shadow. Something of Virgo’s gifts cannot be grasped by effort alone. A solar eclipse is both seed and void, a beginning born in darkness. In Virgo, this means being stripped back to what is simple, essential, true. This eclipse stands opposite Saturn, newly returned to Pisces. The God of Time presses against us from across the sky. Virgo wants clarity, order, and precision. Saturn in Pisces dissolves, obscures, and tests faith. The opposition brings a teaching: we cannot perfect our way out of limitation. We must find a balance between doing the work and surrendering what cannot be controlled. It is also a South Node eclipse, the tail of the dragon . The South Node speaks of release, of old skins to be shed. This is an ending woven into a beginning. The Goddess asks us to let go of what no longer serves - the habits, systems, and small rituals that keep us bound - so that something cleaner, lighter, more aligned can take root. A solar eclipse in Virgo is a whisper to return to simplicity. To strip away the excess and remember that devotion to the smallest things is how we honour the divine. Collective Themes For This Solar Eclipse Astrology tells us these events matter collectively as well as personally. A Virgo eclipse speaks to the collective need for discernment, for clarity, for the sacred work of separating what is useful from what is not. It reminds us that healing begins with attention to the smallest details: our habits, our systems, the ways we care for one another. Collective tides turn at eclipses. What has been overlooked or neglected now demands tending. What we have assumed will “sort itself out” calls for practical devotion. Saturn, standing opposite in Pisces, insists on balance: not blind faith without order, and not order without faith. Both are needed if we are to carry forward what is essential. Personal Invitation Where Virgo falls in your chart is the place you are asked to tend, to simplify, and to bring order to what has become cluttered. It is the place where new devotion is called for, born out of letting go of what no longer serves. If Virgo rules your fourth house, it may be the daily rhythms of family and home. If your tenth, the work you offer to the world. If your seventh, the patterns of care in your relationships. Each house tells its own story. Each of us is touched. Each of us is asked to lay down old habits and begin again with clearer intention. So what does it mean in the texture of our days? It means paying attention to the small things. The rituals that nourish. The systems that quietly hold us. It may mean the end of routines that no longer support who we are becoming. It may feel like release, but a release that clears the ground so that something healthier, lighter, more true can take root. Ritual and Practice The Gods remind us: endings and beginnings are not separate. At a solar eclipse, The Sun’s light is swallowed and then reborn. Darkness falls, only for illumination to return. Each eclipse is both loss and renewal. In Virgo, this eclipse is an invitation to clear the ground. To choose, with care, what you are ready to leave in the past and what you wish to carry forward with you. The Goddess sorts wheat from chaff. She asks us to notice the difference between what is useful and what is simply noise. Perhaps the only task is to be present. To feel what comes. To notice what leaves. To honour what cannot continue. And to trust that life itself is carrying you where you need to go. Simple ways to mark the moment: Light a candle and name the habits or patterns you are ready to release. Pour water onto the earth, asking it to carry your prayers and cleanse the ground for new growth. Write down what you are leaving behind, then bless those words before letting them go. Begin one small, intentional practice of devotion, something humble and daily, to anchor the new cycle. The Eclipse Through The Signs ♈ Aries Rising | 6th House This eclipse touches your daily work, routines, and health. What habits no longer serve your body or your time? Ritual:  Write down one unhelpful routine and burn it. Begin one small practice of care, stretch, walk, or prayer, to carry forward. Affirmation: I am releasing habits that drain me. I am devoted to daily rhythms that nourish my body and soul. ♉ Taurus Rising | 5th House The eclipse asks you to sift your joy: what lights you up, and what drains? Children, creativity, and pleasure call for renewal. Ritual:  Light a candle as you name one creative project or joy you wish to devote to. Release comparison or fear by writing it down and burying it in the earth. Affirmation: I am releasing fear of joy. I am devoted to creativity, play, and love that lights me up. ♊ Gemini Rising | 4th House Home and family are the ground of this eclipse.

I am devoted to building a home of peace and belonging. ♋ Cancer Rising | 3rd House The eclipse stirs your mind, words, and local connections. Let go of scattered chatter.

Affirmation: I am releasing words that diminish me. I am devoted to speaking truth with clarity and care. ♌ Leo Rising | 2nd House This eclipse asks: what do you value? What do you hold on to that no longer feeds you? Ritual:  Place coins or seeds in a bowl. As you take one out, name what you release. As you hold one close, name what you choose to carry forward as true worth. Affirmation: I am releasing false measures of worth. I am devoted to values that honour my true abundance. ♍ Virgo Rising | 1st House This eclipse is yours. Identity, body, path are all up for renewal. Let go of old versions of yourself.

Release what lingers in the unconscious: fears, old sorrows, unseen habits. Ritual:  In silence, light a single candle in a dark room. Whisper what you release into the flame. Sit with the quiet, allowing light to return slowly. Affirmation: I am releasing fears that hide in the shadows. I am devoted to walking in quiet trust and light. ♏ Scorpio Rising | 11th House This eclipse highlights friendships and community. Let go of groups or goals that no longer match your heart. Ritual:  Write the names of communities or dreams you release on paper. Bury them. Pour water as a blessing for the new alliances you welcome. Affirmation: I am releasing dreams and ties that no longer serve. I am devoted to friendships and visions that are true. ♐ Sagittarius Rising | 10th House Your public role and vocation are stirred. Endings and beginnings in work may be fated now. Ritual:  Place a symbol of your work (a pen, tool, or token) on your altar. Ask aloud: what am I ready to release? What am I willing to serve? Affirmation: I am releasing roles that are not mine to play. I am devoted to work that aligns with my calling. ♑ Capricorn Rising | 9th House Beliefs, studies, journeys: what guides you forward? This eclipse asks you to sift truth from dogma. Ritual:  Burn incense or herbs. As the smoke rises, release one belief you’ve outgrown. Speak aloud one guiding principle you choose to carry forward. Affirmation: I am releasing beliefs that limit me. I am devoted to wisdom and paths that expand my spirit. ♒ Aquarius Rising | 8th House Shared resources, debts, intimacy: what is yours to carry, and what is not? Release entanglements that bind. Ritual:  Fill a bowl with water. Drop in stones to represent burdens you release. Remove one stone, hold it, and name what you choose to carry as your true responsibility. Affirmation: I am releasing burdens that are not mine. I am devoted to carrying what is truly mine with grace. ♓ Pisces Rising | 7th House Partnerships are in focus. What relational patterns no longer serve? What devotion do you choose to bring forward? Ritual:  Hold hands with another, or imagine holding hands with the divine, and speak aloud what you release. Then bless the bond you choose to nurture. Affirmation: I am releasing patterns of love that wound. I am devoted to relationships built on care and truth.

They are part of larger cycles - 18 months of unfolding across an axis of your chart, and echoes of cycles that began 18–19 years ago. They mark the turning points in our stories, the moments when fate takes the reins. It can feel unsettling. There is the sense that something bigger than us is moving the pieces. Astrology doesn’t cancel that truth, but it does help us meet it differently. It shows us where the cycles are landing in our lives. It gives language to what is shifting. It helps us see that even the most unexpected turns are part of a larger pattern, one that carries meaning and purpose. Astrology can’t stop change. But it can help you trust the process. It can show you what part of your life is being reshaped, and how to meet it with more awareness, grace, and courage. If you’d like to explore how this eclipse cycle is moving through your chart and look at what chapter is closing, what new direction is opening, I’d love to hold that space with you. 🌑 Book a reading with me here: Conversations with the Gods | Book a Reading  and let’s look together at how these fated alignments are shaping your journey (for more about my readings click the image below).

Read my weekly forecast manifesto in full here . 🕯️ Astroweather | 8-14 September 2025 What's the overall energy of the week? We begin this week in the shadow of the total lunar eclipse in Pisces. Yesterday the Moon was swallowed by Earth’s shadow, and with it something old reached its limit. Eclipses bring to the surface what we cannot otherwise see. In the dark, the hidden corners reveal themselves. We cannot carry the light into the shadow; instead we are asked to feel what has been buried. The body remembers, even when the mind has forgotten. To release, we must allow ourselves to feel. Energy only dies when it is lived through. Lunar Eclipse over Exmouth, Devon This is a week of integration and release . We are between eclipses—the solar eclipse in Virgo awaits us on the 21st—making this a potent window for inner work. What rises up now is not random; it is what must be seen, felt, and let go, so that something new can be born. The outer Gods hold space in the background. Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus are all now retrograde and in supportive aspect to one another. Each is retracing Their steps, returning briefly to old ground before moving forward into uncharted territory: Neptune  entered Aries in March, retrogrades back into Pisces on the 22nd October 2025 , and will return to Aries on the 26th January 2026 . Uranus  stepped into Gemini on the 7th July 2025 , retrogrades back into Taurus on the 7th November 2025 , and returns to Gemini on the 26th April 2026 . Pluto  began His slow passage into Aquarius in 2023, retrograded back into Capricorn, and will turn direct at 1° Aquarius on the 13th of October 2025 . Together, these retrogrades remind us: endings are part of beginnings. The future will not be built without first resolving what lingers from the past. Toward the weekend, The Gods of clarity and growth lend support: On Friday , the Sun and Mercury in Virgo form a sextile to Jupiter in Cancer offering gentle encouragement to expand, clarify, and realign your vision. On Saturday , Mercury enters the heart of The Sun in Their cazimi, sharpening insight and burning away confusion. On Sunday , the Last Quarter Moon in Gemini invites consolidation and closure, preparing the ground for the new cycle. This is not a week to rush. It is a week to feel. To notice. To let go. Quote for the week: “In every ending there is the seed of a beginning. Feel what must die, and you will make space for what longs to be born.” Your Daily Snapshot All timings are British Summertime (BST) ✨ Monday Monday 8 Sept | Waning Moon in Pisces → Aries (7:37pm) The eclipse lingers in the body. The Moon still wanes in Pisces, pulling us into feeling what has been hidden. By evening, She enters Aries and lights up Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus in turn. Old wounds surface; energy long carried begins to stir. Within:  You may feel tender, porous, or unsettled as forgotten feelings resurface. Without:  Conversations, dreams, or body sensations reveal what was buried. Subtle triggers open hidden corners. Contemplation:  Where does my body still hold what I thought I had released? ✨ Tuesday Tuesday 9 Sept | Waning Moon in Aries The Moon continues through Aries, bringing courage to face what lives in the body. This is not about fixing but about seeing. Within:  A flash of anger, a sudden impulse, or a restless energy may show you what you’ve been holding. Without:  Others may mirror your raw edges. Conflicts, frustrations, or small accidents point to unprocessed energy. Contemplation:  Can I meet my pain with bravery, not resistance? ✨ Wednesday Wednesday 10 Sept | Waning Moon enters Taurus (9:00pm) As the Moon moves into Her exaltation, the focus shifts from confrontation to soothing. What was faced yesterday can now be softened. Within:  A desire for comfort, food, rest, or beauty arises. The nervous system settles. Without:  Gentle encounters, nature, music, or embodied pleasures bring peace. Contemplation:  How can I care for my body so it feels safe to release? ✨ Thursday Thursday 11 Sept | Waning Moon in Taurus The work continues gently. The Moon reminds us that letting go isn’t always struggle, it can be pleasure too. Indulge in some practices that help move the energy from your body: take a salt bath, walk amongst the trees, or dance it out to your favourites tunes. Within:  A sense of relief or peace may come. Emotions begin to digest. Without:  Signs of stability: supportive words, steady rhythms, simple joys. Contemplation:  Can I trust softness to do the work just as much as effort? ✨ Friday Friday 12 Sept | Sun + Mercury sextile Jupiter A clarifying day. The God of Light and the Messenger join in Virgo, sending a ray to Jupiter in Cancer. Truth surfaces. Healing shows its fruit. What was hidden finds words. Within:  Insights land; clarity about patterns or past pain crystallises. Without:  Evidence that change is real with noticeable shifts in relationships, signs of support, unexpected encouragement. Contemplation:  What truth have I brought into the light that no longer needs repeating? ✨ Saturday Saturday 13 Sept | Mercury Cazimi in Virgo Mercury enters the heart of The Sun: a moment of renewal for the mind and voice. In Virgo, the sign of the coming eclipse, this is potent. What you understand now will shape the path ahead. Within:  A sense of order, insight, or renewal in your thinking. The fog clears. Without:  Messages arrive at the right moment. A conversation, reading, or sign feels fated. Contemplation:  What story am I ready to tell myself anew? ✨ Sunday Sunday 14 Sept | Last Quarter Moon in Gemini The Last Quarter Moon marks a turning point. In the eclipse cycle, it’s the moment of decision: what must end so the future can begin? With the equinox and Virgo solar eclipse approaching, the invitation is to clear the ground. Within:  Restlessness, indecision, or mental loops may signal what needs closure. Without:  A shift in plans, endings in conversations, or unfinished business returning. Contemplation:  What must be resolved now so I can walk fresh into the new season? 🌿 Closing Reflection This week asks for presence. Whatever arises, whether in your body, your dreams, or the world around you, is not random. It is surfacing now because it needs to be felt, seen, and released. The eclipses open the space where fate does its deepest work, not against us but for us. Trust that what comes is in service of your becoming. By paying attention, by letting yourself feel, you honour the process. This is how you clear the ground for what is waiting to be born. Rising Sign Forecasts We are in the eclipse window. The total lunar eclipse in Pisces  has just passed, and the partial solar eclipse in Virgo  is waiting on the 21st. These eclipses fall across the Virgo–Pisces axis, and so the work of this moment lives in those two houses of your chart. Why these houses? Because eclipses illuminate a polarity. Pisces is where we are asked to dissolve, release, and surrender—what no longer serves must be let go. Virgo is where clarity returns, where the light of Mercury’s cazimi this week brings order, integration, and the wisdom of embodiment. Together they remind us that we are both spirit and body. We cannot transcend our humanity, nor can we reduce ourselves to it. We are spiritual beings living a physical experience. For each rising sign, I’ve highlighted the Pisces and Virgo houses—two areas of life currently in dialogue. The invitation is to notice what is surfacing in Pisces, and then to anchor into Virgo as a way forward. The balance lies in feeling what needs to die, and in tending what is ready to live. ♈ Aries Rising Pisces (12th house):  Endings, hidden sorrows, subconscious patterns rise. Old fears or losses come into view. Virgo (6th house):  The way forward is through your body and daily work. Health, routines, and acts of service anchor you here. Within/Without:  Fatigue, dreams, or hidden feelings surface. External shifts in work or health show where grounding is needed. Contemplation:  How can I balance surrendering old patterns with a renewed commitment to daily care? ♉ Taurus Rising Pisces (11th house):  Friendships, communities, and visions for the future dissolve or change shape. Virgo (5th house):  Your creativity, children, or joy practices are the anchor for renewal. Within/Without:  Feelings of belonging shift. Externally, projects or groups change. Creativity calls you back to life. Contemplation:  How can I release outdated visions of belonging while choosing joy as my compass? ♊ Gemini Rising Pisces (10th house):  Old roles, career identities, or public expectations fall away. Virgo (4th house):  Home, family, and inner foundations steady you for the path ahead. Within/Without:  Self-doubt about your direction arises. Externally, shifts in home or career echo this. Contemplation:  What worldly identity am I willing to release so my roots can grow strong? ♋ Cancer Rising Pisces (9th house):  Old beliefs, teachings, or ideals dissolve. Certainties are surrendered. Virgo (3rd house):  The path forward is through practical learning, grounded communication, and presence to the everyday. Within/Without:  Doubts about meaning arise. Externally, changes in study, teaching, or travel reflect this. Contemplation:  What story am I willing to release so that truth can become lived in my daily words and actions? ♌ Leo Rising Pisces (8th house):  Shared resources, debts, and intimate entanglements are brought into shadow. Virgo (2nd house):  The focus returns to your own resources and worth. Stability comes from grounding in your value. Within/Without:  Fear of loss or betrayal resurfaces. Externally, money or contracts shift. Contemplation:  What ties of dependency am I ready to release so I can stand in my own worth? ♍ Virgo Rising Pisces (7th house):  Partnerships reveal their shadows—mirrors of what is unresolved in you. Virgo (1st house):  The Sun and Mercury illuminate you. Your clarity, your truth, your embodiment matter now. Within/Without:  Old wounds in relationship rise. Externally, partnerships may test balance. Contemplation:  What am I ready to release in others so I can step fully into myself? ♎ Libra Rising Pisces (6th house):  Old habits, health patterns, or work routines dissolve. Virgo (12th house):  The medicine is surrender—time for retreat, spiritual practice, and listening to what’s hidden. Within/Without:  Fatigue or health concerns surface. Externally, daily work rhythms shift. Contemplation:  What earthly ties am I ready to loosen so I can remember my spirit? ♏ Scorpio Rising Pisces (5th house):  Old loves, creative blocks, or wounds around joy rise to be felt. Virgo (11th house):  The path ahead is clarified through community, shared vision, and the friends who see your light. Within/Without:  Desire for joy surfaces. Externally, children or projects shift. Friendships or alliances show you the way forward. Contemplation:  What self-expression am I willing to reclaim so I can find my true people? ♐ Sagittarius Rising Pisces (4th house):  Old family stories, ancestral echoes, or home dynamics rise. Virgo (10th house):  The light shines on your path, vocation, and public voice. The past dissolves so purpose can take form. Within/Without:  Emotions about home and belonging surface. Externally, changes in career or family mirror this. Contemplation:  What in my foundations must I release so I can live my calling? ♑ Capricorn Rising Pisces (3rd house):  Old stories, mental loops, or sibling dynamics surface. Virgo (9th house):  The way forward is bigger vision—faith, study, philosophy, and the quest for meaning. Within/Without:  Mental restlessness arises. Externally, conversations or news open old wounds. Contemplation:  What small story am I willing to let die so a truer vision can take root? ♒ Aquarius Rising Pisces (2nd house):  Old attachments to possessions, income, or survival fears arise. Virgo (8th house):  The work is in intimacy, trust, and shared vulnerability—transforming fear into empowerment. Within/Without:  Feelings of lack or insecurity resurface. Externally, financial or contractual matters shift. Contemplation:  What attachment is ready to dissolve so I can trust deeper bonds? ♓ Pisces Rising Pisces (1st house):  This eclipse is yours—your identity, body, and sense of self are dissolving. Virgo (7th house):  Partnerships mirror back your becoming. The new self is formed in relation to others. Within/Without:  Emotional intensity rises. Externally, endings in self-image or relationships mirror change. Contemplation:  Who am I becoming when I release the old version of me?

And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week 14 A contemplative practice Sit quietly and let your mind drift back through the stories that seem to repeat in your life. Notice the patterns, of love, of loss, of survival, of striving, that echo not only in you, but in your parents, your grandparents, and further back still. What if these are not random? What if you are carrying a thread of the story of your lineage, and you are here to bring it to consciousness? To feel what was unfelt, to release what was unspoken, to bring healing where there was silence or shame. Ask yourself: What story seems to loop in my life, as though I am reliving it for those before me? How might I begin to loosen its hold, not by rejecting it but by feeling it fully? What new story wants to be written through me, one that honours the past but does not remain bound to it?

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

On the 7th of September 2025 The Moon will be swallowed by the Earth’s shadow. A total lunar eclipse. A moment when The Sun, Earth, and Moon align so precisely that the Earth blocks the Sun’s light, turning The Moon blood red. For a time, the familiar face of the Moon disappears. Eclipses have always unsettled us. They are not ordinary lunations. They are turning points. The light disappears, and with it, the illusion of certainty. Something hidden is revealed. Something old reaches its limit. Something is taken away so that something else might be given. The Archetypes at Play This eclipse falls in Pisces, joined by Saturn who has only just returned to the sign. The God of Time lends gravity to what is unfolding. This is a serious moment in time. We would do well to pay it the attention it deserves. Pisces is the ocean without edges, the vastness of compassion and surrender, the realm of faith and dissolution. When the Moon is eclipsed here, it is as if the tides of memory and longing are pulled back to reveal what has been lying beneath the waves. Saturn says: see it clearly now. Do not look away. And yet, this is a North Node eclipse, the head of the dragon . It is not simply an ending. It is an opening. The North Node points us toward what we are becoming, even if the way is unclear. The eclipse may feel like loss, but it is also guidance. What is taken now is what cannot travel with you into the next chapter. Collective Themes For This Lunar Eclipse Astrology tells us these events matter collectively, as well as personally. A Pisces eclipse speaks to the collective need for compassion, to the dissolving of illusions, and to the sobering presence of Saturn. We may see truths revealed in our shared stories around water, faith, health, or hidden suffering. Collective tides turn at eclipses. What has been swept aside or ignored returns to view. What we have pretended will “get better soon” must now be faced as it is. Saturn insists on accountability. Personal Invitation Where Pisces falls in your chart is the place you are asked to surrender, to release illusion, and to build new faith on firmer ground. If Pisces rules your fourth house, it may be family or home. If your tenth, perhaps your work in the world. If your seventh, relationships and partnerships. Each house tells its own story. Each of us is touched. Each of us is asked to let something dissolve. So what does it mean in the texture of our days? It means dreams surfacing. Emotions rising like a tide. The past pressing close. It may mean grief, but grief that cleanses. It may mean confusion, but confusion that asks us to trust rather than control. Ritual and Practice The Gods remind us: endings and beginnings are not separate. The Moon's comforting light disappears, and then returns. Light is swallowed, and then it is reborn. The eclipse is both loss and renewal. Perhaps the only task is to be present. To feel what comes. To notice what leaves. To honour what cannot continue. And to trust that the sea is carrying you where you need to go. Simple ways to mark the moment: Light a candle and name what you are ready to release. Pour water onto the earth and let it carry your prayers. Write down the illusions you are leaving behind, and bless them before letting them go. So what do we do with it? The last Aquarius Full Moon widened our view, helping us release what stood in the way of being true to ourselves. The Virgo New Moon asked us to come back to devotion, to tend our own flame with care. And now this Pisces Total Lunar Eclipse draws us into the liminal space between what is no longer and what is not yet. Eclipses are turning points of fate, moments when the soul redirects us toward what we came here to live. This eclipse carries the energy of destiny. It strips away what no longer belongs on your path. You may feel the purging on every level: body, mind, heart, spirit. Relationships, boundaries, values, possessions, the use of your time and energy are under review. Illusions fall away. The stories of “maybe it will change” or “I’ll wait until the right time” no longer hold. What is revealed now is what must be faced. The task is not to resist but to see clearly. To accept what is, rather than cling to what might be. To let yourself be reshaped by the tide. ✨ Advice for this Eclipse: Notice where you are gripping or clinging. Ask gently: is this serving me, or is it keeping me small? Honour what is ending, but do not mistake it for loss. It is clearing space for your next becoming. Create ritual for release, water, writing, prayer, whatever helps you embody the letting go. Trust the North Node’s pull. Even if you cannot see the path, your soul knows where it is leading. The Moon disappears, but She always returns. So too will you. The Eclipse Through The Signs ♈ Aries Rising  | 12th House This eclipse draws you inward. Old patterns, fears, and habits hidden from sight are illuminated. You may feel raw, but this is a clearing. Saturn asks you to face what has been avoided. Advice:  Allow solitude. Create ritual for release. Trust that making peace with your past makes space for your future. ♉ Taurus Rising  | 11th House Friendships, communities, and hopes for the future come into focus. Some alliances no longer serve your growth, and this eclipse shows you which ones. Saturn demands honesty in who you give your time and energy to. Advice:  Notice where you’re settling for comfort instead of connection. Make space for friendships aligned with who you are becoming. ♊ Gemini Rising  | 10th House This eclipse lights up your public role, career, and reputation. A chapter may close, or a truth about your work becomes undeniable. Saturn asks you to define what legacy you truly want. Advice:  Let go of external expectations. Root into what success means for you. Trust that honouring your soul’s path is the highest achievement. ♋ Cancer Rising  | 9th House Your beliefs, studies, or worldview may be shifting. A door closes on an old philosophy or path. Saturn steadies the call to align with a higher truth. Advice:  Let yourself outgrow borrowed beliefs. Travel inward or outward to expand your vision. Follow what gives you real faith, not false certainty. ♌ Leo Rising  | 8th House Shared resources, debts, or deep entanglements are revealed. You may need to release an old tie or confront fears of loss. Saturn asks for maturity in how you share and where you depend. Advice:  Honour endings in financial or emotional bonds without clinging. Let trust, not fear, guide how you merge with others. ♍ Virgo Rising  | 7th House Relationships are centre stage. This eclipse may reveal truths about a partner, or about how you show up in connection. Saturn here brings clarity and accountability. Advice:  See people as they are, not as you wish them to be. Choose honesty over illusion. Honour the connections that truly honour you. ♎ Libra Rising  | 6th House Daily routines, health, and service to others are highlighted. This eclipse may bring a release of habits that drain you. Saturn reminds you that devotion must include caring for your body. Advice:  Simplify. Clear away what clutters your days. Build routines that serve your well-being, not only others’. ♏ Scorpio Rising  | 5th House This eclipse lights up your creativity, pleasure, and children. A project, romance, or expression of joy may need to be released or reshaped. Saturn makes sure what remains is real and lasting. Advice:  Let go of performative joy. Invest in what truly lights you up, even if it takes work. Honour your creative spark as sacred. ♐ Sagittarius Rising  | 4th House Home, family, and roots are stirred. A chapter may close in your living situation or family story. Saturn asks you to create stability and boundaries in your foundations. Advice:  Honour your past, but don’t be bound by it. Choose the home that feels aligned with your becoming. ♑ Capricorn Rising  | 3rd House Your mind, communication, and local world are highlighted. This eclipse may strip away old ways of speaking or perceiving. Saturn steadies your thoughts, urging clarity over confusion. Advice:  Watch your words. Speak what is true, not what avoids conflict. Release mental clutter. Root into simple, grounded truths. ♒ Aquarius Rising  | 2nd House Money, resources, and self-worth are in focus. Old patterns of scarcity or over-attachment to possessions may be released. Saturn says: take responsibility for what you value. Advice:  Let go of “it will change soon” illusions around money or self-esteem. Define your worth from within, and build from there. ♓ Pisces Rising  | 1st House This eclipse is personal. Your identity, body, and way of being in the world are illuminated. Saturn demands accountability: who are you becoming, and what illusions must you leave behind? Advice:  Release the versions of yourself that belong to the past. Step into authenticity, even if it feels raw. This is your rebirth. ✨ Each sign is being asked to strip away illusion in a different area of life, but the thread is the same: release, clarity, and trust in where your soul is leading. For more about what you can expect this week because of the astrology at hand, and a contemplation on the eclipse for every rising sign, read this week's forecast: Week Ahead Forecast: 1st to 7th September 2025 ✨ An Invitation Eclipses are never just about one day. They are part of larger cycles - 18 months of unfolding across an axis of your chart, and echoes of cycles that began 18–19 years ago. They mark the turning points in our stories, the moments when fate takes the reins. It can feel unsettling. There is the sense that something bigger than us is moving the pieces. Astrology doesn’t cancel that truth, but it does help us meet it differently. It shows us where the cycles are landing in our lives. It gives language to what is shifting. It helps us see that even the most unexpected turns are part of a larger pattern, one that carries meaning and purpose. Astrology can’t stop change. But it can help you trust the process. It can show you what part of your life is being reshaped, and how to meet it with more awareness, grace, and courage. If you’d like to explore how this eclipse cycle is moving through your chart and look at what chapter is closing, what new direction is opening, I’d love to hold that space with you. 🌑 Book a reading with me here: Conversations with the Gods | Book a Reading  and let’s look together at how these fated alignments are shaping your journey (for more about my readings click the image below).

Read my weekly forecast manifesto in full here . 🕯️ Astroweather | 1-7 September 2025 “To love is to recognise that tomorrow is not promised and still to give yourself wholly today.”  — Unknown The week opens under a waxing Moon, with the air thick with possibility. Yet it is not clarity we are offered, but change. Saturn shifts back into Pisces, altering the tone of the sky. Mercury sharpens his tongue in Virgo. Mars locks horns with Jupiter. And by the end of the week, we stand at the threshold of a lunar eclipse in Pisces and an opening that reminds us how little we can ever truly know. This is eclipse season; the hand of fate at work. Astrology can show us the shape of the weather, but not its precise expression. These moments are not ours to control. “The only certainty is that nothing is certain.” To love, to live, is to risk. We give our whole selves, knowing we could lose everything in a moment. The invitation this week is to sit with the unknown and to breathe through change, to steady our inner flame, and to trust that what moves through our lives does so for us, through us. Your Weekly Snapshot All timings are British Summertime (BST) ✨ Monday 🌙 Monday 1 September | Saturn shifts The Moon wakes in Sagittarius, restless and seeking vision. By 9am Saturn, the Old God of time and structure, steps back into Pisces. He softens His stance, no longer penetrating so directly with the outer Gods in Aries. The tone changes; the sky feels less restrictive, though less defined. The Moon reaches for Mercury in a trine, words and thoughts flowing, before squaring Saturn as He crosses the threshold giving us a reminder that every shift comes with weight. The story of the day is one of release. When Saturn steps out of Aries, the strict guardrail that held us firm is gone. For some, this feels liberating; for others, disorienting. It is like walking off a paved road into a wide field, there is freedom, but also uncertainty. The Moon’s conversation with Mercury opens pathways of understanding, while Her square to Saturn keeps us mindful that freedom requires its own kind of responsibility. The invitation is to notice what feels lighter without rushing to fill the space. In the pauses and the unstructured moments, there is an opportunity to breathe. Eclipse season teaches that we cannot know everything ahead of time. Let today remind you: the story is still being written. Within:  Relief, release, the space to breathe. Without:  Structures shift, restrictions dissolve. Practice:  Sit with openness instead of filling it. Prompt:   Where do I cling to certainty when freedom might serve me better? ✨ Tuesday 🌙 Tuesday 2 September | Clearer sight The Moon climbs into Capricorn in the quiet early hours, turning Her attention to structure and form. Yet almost immediately She locks eyes with Neptune, the God of mist, and clarity is challenged. Meanwhile Mercury returns to Their exalted home in Virgo where They are strong, sharp, and precise. The sky tells of competing voices: the fog of Neptune against the lucidity of Mercury, the steady Capricorn Moon trying to hold them both. The story is one of mixed signals. On one hand, the clarity of Mercury in Virgo is like a lens clicking into place: things suddenly make sense, words flow with vigour, purpose sharpens. On the other, The Moon’s square to Neptune suggests not everything is as it seems. We may see clearly in one area while another remains blurred. The paradox of eclipse season lives here: clarity and uncertainty can exist side by side . The invitation is to honour both. Write down what feels clear, let the rest float. Presence is not about certainty but about showing up for what is. The Goddess of Virgo season reminds us that devotion is in the daily act, even when not everything is known. Within:  Lucidity meets mystery; flashes of sharp sight alongside haze. Without:  Messages clear yet contradictions linger. Practice:  Capture clarity in writing; let the fog be. Prompt:   What clarity is emerging in me now, even if not everything is clear? ✨ Wednesday 🌙 Wednesday 3 September | Tension building The Moon continues Her climb through Capricorn, holding steady while the sky tightens. Mars approaches His square to Jupiter, less than a degree away. Desire and drive (Mars) prepare to clash with principle and truth (Jupiter). The Moon witnesses from Her mountain post, watching the tension gather like storm clouds. The story today is one of anticipation. The clash between Mars and Jupiter is not yet exact, but it hums in the air. You may feel restless, pulled toward action, driven to assert yourself or chase after more. Jupiter inflates the stakes, making everything feel larger, more urgent. Yet Capricorn’s Moon urges restraint, the quiet voice of discipline reminding us not every impulse needs release. The invitation is to hold steady. Let the energy build without rushing to break it open. Not every storm needs to be unleashed; sometimes it is enough to feel its electricity moving through you. Within:  Restless drive; tension between will and wisdom. Without:  Situations heating up; pressure rising. Practice:  Move your body to release tension without escalation. Prompt:   How can I hold strength without forcing an outcome? ✨ Thursday 🌙 Thursday 4 September | Deep stirrings By mid-morning The Moon slips into Aquarius, turning toward collective concerns. At 1:30pm She meets Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, whose presence is never light. Their conjunction brings intensity; emotions deepen, hidden truths rise, power dynamics stir. The story of the day is one of confrontation with depth. The Moon in Aquarius would prefer to stay detached, to analyse from afar, but Pluto drags Her into the undercurrents. What was buried may surface. Collective stories about power, control, endings and beginnings echo in personal lives. The invitation is not to solve but to witness. Pluto’s lessons are never about control but about surrender. To feel what is shifting without trying to grasp it. To recognise the larger tides in which we swim. Within:  Deep feelings arise; intensity presses in. Without:  Collective stories of power and change echo. Practice:  Witness rather than control. Breathe through what surfaces. Prompt:   What do I feel shifting beneath the surface? ✨ Friday 🌙 Friday 5 September | Clash and expansion The Moon continues through Aquarius as the long-building clash perfects. At 2am Mars speaks tensely with Jupiter across the Libra–Cancer axis. Mars brings will, desire, and assertion; Jupiter brings principle, justice, and expansive truth. Jupiter, superior in the square, holds greater sway. Wisdom outweighs force. Later, The Moon opposes Jupiter, pulling emotion into the same conversation. The story is one of confrontation and growth. Mars wants action, to press His will. Jupiter answers with the voice of law, morality, and higher perspective. Conflicts may arise, but they contain the possibility of expansion. Jupiter’s superiority here offers hope that truth and justice can temper aggression. The invitation is to act with perspective. When the Moon opposes Jupiter, emotions may run high, but the bigger picture is visible if we choose to see it. The test is to hold back from reactivity and trust that justice need not be forced. Within:  Courage rises, frustration possible, wisdom calling. Without:  Conflicts, debates, clashes of will. Practice:  Step back before responding; let truth guide. Prompt:   Where can I trust justice to prevail without forcing my will? ✨ Saturday 🌙 Saturday 6 September | The turn inward Uranus, God of awakening, stations retrograde in Gemini today. His lightning pauses, then begins to turn backward. The Moon enters Pisces at 4pm, softening the edge, drawing us into surrender. The story is one of reversal and reflection. Uranus halts His forward march, preparing to retrace steps. A storyline of freedom, innovation, or disruption is not yet complete. The Moon’s entry into Pisces cloaks the day in sensitivity, reminding us that endings are also beginnings, and what feels paused may yet be gestating. The invitation is to trust the pause. Not every change needs to happen now; some must unfold in layers, with time. Pisces’ Moon asks us to yield, to accept what cannot be pushed forward, to sit gently with what is. Within:  Restless energy shifts inward; sensitivity heightens. Without:  External disruptions ease but stories linger unresolved. Practice:  Honour the pause; rest in what is incomplete. Prompt:   Can I let the story unfold without needing to know its ending? ✨ Sunday 🌙 Sunday 7 September | Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces The Moon in Pisces grows full and is eclipsed, shadowed by the Earth with Saturn holding us steady. This is no ordinary lunation; it is a North Node eclipse, signalling beginnings hidden in the dark. Fate moves here. We do not choose; we receive. The story is one of thresholds. Eclipses are moments when time bends. Something shifts, often abruptly, in ways we cannot predict. With Saturn present, the changes may carry weight and permanence. The Moon in Pisces opens the gates of mystery; the North Node directs us forward into uncharted waters. The hand of fate presses into our lives, reminding us that our control was always an illusion. The invitation is surrender. To stand at the threshold without demanding certainty. To meet the unknown with love rather than fear. To remember: everything is happening for us, through us. The eclipse does not take us off course; it places us firmly on it, whether we can see the map or not. Within:  Mystery, surrender, thresholds opening. Without:  Sudden shifts, fated turns, new beginnings in disguise. Practice:  Light a candle, breathe deeply, and offer yourself to what is. Prompt:   How can I meet the unknown with love instead of fear? Read more about this Total Lunar Eclipse including guidance for each rising sign on how to meet it here: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: Let Go Find a contemplation for your rising sign below . 🌿 Closing Reflection This week has carried us through shifting tones: Saturn’s retreat, Mercury’s sharp clarity, Mars and Jupiter’s clash, Uranus’ pause, and finally the eclipse. The lesson woven through it all is simple, if not easy: certainty is a myth. The story changes. Life turns. What we thought was fixed dissolves; what we thought impossible arrives. The call is not to cling, but to trust. To risk loving fully without guarantees. To meet change with open hands. Eclipse season asks nothing less than our willingness to live without knowing. Rising Sign Forecasts 🌕 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces On 7 September, The Moon is eclipsed in Pisces with Saturn close by. This is a North Node eclipse , a beginning cloaked in shadow. The Gods remind us: not everything is meant to be known in advance. This is the hand of fate moving through your life, shifting the storyline. Trust that it is happening for you, through you. ♈ Aries Rising | 12th House The eclipse stirs the hidden places: solitude, endings, the mysteries you cannot control.

Prompt:  Where am I being asked to step beyond what I thought I knew? ♌ Leo Rising | 8th House The eclipse stirs themes of shared resources, debts, and the deeper entanglements of life. Power dynamics may shift. Something hidden in financial or intimate bonds comes to light.

A partnership may begin, end, or change shape. What unfolds carries the weight of fate.

A shift in house, kinship, or the story of belonging may begin here. What feels secure may be redefined. Prompt:  Where is home truly calling me now? ♑ Capricorn Rising | 3rd House The eclipse moves through your house of siblings, neighbours, and the daily exchange of words. A change in communication, or in close-knit circles, is underway. A hidden message seeks to be heard. Prompt:  What message is asking me to listen more deeply? ♒ Aquarius Rising | 2nd House The eclipse lights your house of resources, value, and livelihood. Money matters may shift, self-worth may be tested. Yet something new is seeding showing you a truer sense of value. Prompt:  What is life asking me to recognise as truly valuable? ♓ Pisces Rising | 1st House The eclipse falls in your sign bringing a threshold moment of identity and self. Who you are becoming may not yet be visible, but the seed is planted. Others may see you differently before you yourself do. Prompt:  Am I willing to step into the unknown of who I am becoming? ✨ Closing Note: Eclipses are not days for ritual or manifestation. They are thresholds; they open and close doors we cannot always see. What matters is how we meet them, with open hands, with trust, with love, even in uncertainty.

And finally, 🐍 Keeping the Snake Alive — Week 13 Saturn has returned to Pisces. The Old God slips quietly back into the waters, His straight lines dissolving into currents that will not hold. He is no longer the upright sentinel in Aries, demanding clarity and will; He has given us only a glimpse of what that fire will ask. Now He recedes into the tides, to finish what was left undone. There is humility in this crossing. We would like to believe we are in control, that we can set our course, map our way, hold everything still. But Saturn in Pisces reminds us: the ground beneath our feet is shifting sand. We can cling, but the tide still carries us. The work is not control, but surrender; not resistance, but learning how to breathe in water. How do we honour this return? Not by knowing, but by allowing. To notice the mystery moving through us. To sit with uncertainty without demanding answers. To let our bodies soften into the truth that tomorrow is never promised. This is the gift Saturn offers here: to become at home in the unknown, so when the fire returns, we can walk it with steadier hearts.

For those new to astrology: This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when the astrology is loud. So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions of what you might notice in the outer world and how you might tap into it in your inner world. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts. As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical! For more on all this, read this post. You may also find the rising sign forecast helpful because this will narrow the range to where you're most likely to feel and notice the transits in your life.

Cultivate Magic in Your Every Day Life can feel unrelenting at times, can’t it? The constant demands and unexpected challenges that leave us feeling weighed down, often it can feel as if we’re just trying to keep our heads above water. But beneath the heaviness, there’s an opportunity, a chance to discover moments of grace and meaning in the midst of it all. What if the ordinary held a touch of magic, waiting to be noticed? What if even the chaos could reveal a sense of flow and connection? This is one of the gifts astrology offers. It's a lens through which to see the sacred in the everyday, paired with simple, mindful practices that help you realign with yourself and the rhythm of the universe. Let’s explore how you can bring a little light to the shadows and uncover the magic within your life. The Power of Intention First things first: set the intention to grow and get to know yourself. Everything - and I mean everything - starts from within: as within, so without.  You hold the key to your own life, your own magic. The words you speak and the thoughts you think are incredibly powerful. So, each morning, take a moment to set an intention for your day. What do you want to feel, create, or learn? It’s like planting seeds for the universe to water. A Fresh Start Every Day Every day is a new beginning - a clean slate. Start it with curiosity and wonder. At the end of the day, reflect. How did it go? What worked? What felt tricky? How do you feel now? Release what didn’t serve you. Thank the universe for the lessons, and put it all to bed. Sleep with a clear mind and a light heart, ready to start again tomorrow. 'I used to hold onto the tiniest things - the unkind word from a stranger or the email that didn’t get the response I’d hoped for. It was exhausting! But when I started this practice of letting go at the end of each day, I felt so much lighter. It’s like a nightly reset button.' Get to know yourself How do you truly feel in this moment? What does that feeling remind you of? Where is it coming from? These are powerful questions because everything begins within. To change our lives, we first need to understand ourselves - our patterns, our triggers, and the stories we carry. Patterns tend to repeat until we pause long enough to find their root. Healing happens when we allow ourselves to feel fully and then gently untangle the threads of where those feelings originate. But to do that, we need conscious awareness. Start by getting curious about yourself - your thoughts, your reactions, and the ways you show up in the world. Pay attention without judgment. The more aware you are in the moment, the more space you create to choose your responses, rather than simply reacting. With that awareness comes a sense of freedom, a chance to rewrite your story and step into a life that feels truly your own. This is where astrology becomes a powerful tool. Your birth chart is like a map of who you are, a snapshot of the sky the moment you were born, holding clues about your strengths, challenges, and unique purpose. It reminds you of who you were before life made you weary, offering a way back to yourself. As you explore your chart, you begin to understand why you react the way you do and how your patterns have shaped your journey. With this awareness, you can move beyond old stories and align with your truest self. By blending self-reflection with the wisdom of the stars, you’ll find a pathway to healing, growth, and a deeper connection to the magic of who you truly are. Astrology as Your Cosmic Guide Here’s where astrology steps in to sprinkle even more magic. Every single experience you have is happening for  you, not to  you. Think of life as a cosmic computer game, with The Gods handing you tools, challenges, and opportunities to level up. The transits - those ongoing conversations between The Gods - are universal energies at play. How they affect you is unique to your birth chart. Take Mercury retrograde as an example. For some, it might light up the first house, bringing a chance to reflect on self-image and personal growth. For others, it could land in the fifth house, stirring up creativity or revisiting old flames. Understanding how these energies show up for you helps you navigate life with more ease. Tune In to the Universe The universe is always communicating with you, but are you listening? Those little synchronicities - the song lyric that speaks to you, the number you keep seeing, or the stranger’s random comment - are all signs. Tune in. When you make it a practice to notice these whispers, you’ll start to feel guided. One December, I needed costumes for the kids Christmas show, no mean feat since one was a black tie number and my son was well over 6ft at the time. I’d left it far too late as usual, but I decided to trust and let the universe work its magic. I went into the first charity shop I came to, and there on the rack was a good brand named dinner suit in almost new condition and alongside it a pair of the right sized brand new shirts still in their packets! All the bargain price of just £15. Fortuitous coincidence? I think not. The more you notice, the more you attract. Gratitude and Joy Gratitude transforms everything. Life is beautiful, even in its messiness. The more you notice the good, the more good flows your way. Joy is your birth right, so follow it! Whether it’s dancing in your kitchen, creating something just for fun, or savouring a perfect cup of tea, lean into what makes you feel alive . Lessons and Reflections Every person you meet and every experience you have is a teacher. Even the tricky ones. Especially the tricky ones. Remember, people aren’t out to get you - most of the time, they’re just wrapped up in their own stories. Let go of expectations, and you’ll find so much freedom. When someone’s reaction throws you, ask yourself, What within me might be creating this dynamic?  Shift your inner world, and you’ll notice the outer world shift too. Magic Exists Magic and miracles aren’t just in fairy tales. They’re here, now, in your everyday life. Open your mind to the possibility. Tell the universe what you need and trust that it’s on its way. And most importantly, listen to your intuition. You know  what you need and the easiest way forward. Trust yourself to get into the flow. How Astrology Helps Astrology offers a fresh perspective, a map to help you navigate the twists and turns. By understanding the energies at play and how they interact with your unique chart, you can move through challenges with grace and embrace the opportunities with open arms. It’s like having a cosmic compass that always points you towards growth and alignment. So, start small. Notice the synchronicities, reflect on your days, and play with the energies of the cosmos. Before you know it, you’ll find magic in the mundane and miracles in the everyday. And isn’t that the most beautiful way to live? If you’re ready to find the magic in your everyday life and connect with the truest version of yourself, astrology can be a profound guide. Your birth chart is a cosmic map, a unique blueprint of who you are and the path you’re here to walk. By exploring the conversations The Gods are having with you through your chart, we can uncover your strengths, navigate your challenges, and reconnect with the deeper purpose that makes your life meaningful. Astrology helps you see yourself in a way that feels honest and empowering, reminding you of the light within that the world may have dimmed. Together, we can illuminate the patterns that shape your journey and bring clarity to the moments that feel heavy or confusing. With this understanding, you can move forward with greater self-awareness, self-love, and confidence.
