'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. Let the words stir something. Then go live your week. Notice what plays out. Return and reread if you need to.'

🕯️ 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.
Mercury opposite Neptune in Aries | Thurs/Fri — words dissolve into vision, risk of fog or inspiration.
Mercury trine Uranus (Gemini) + Pluto (Aquarius) | Friday — breakthrough insights, piercing truth, fresh clarity.
Venus enters Virgo | Friday — love and value turn practical, attention to detail.
Venus square Uranus | Fri/Sat — disruption in desire, unexpected shifts in relationships or values.
Sunday 21st Sept | Solar Eclipse in Virgo (29°) opposite Saturn in Pisces — karmic release, clarity through surrender, endings and beginnings entwined.
This is a week for clarity, and for letting go.

✨ Monday
Monday 15th Sept | Last Quarter Moon in Gemini
The Moon wanes into Her final quarter in Gemini. 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?
Contemplation: The Moon shows us the cycles of change. Gemini reminds us: the mind is not fixed, it is a storyteller. What story are you choosing to live today?
✨ Tuesday
Tuesday 16th Sept | Mars sextile Venus | Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
Mars and Venus perfect Their sextile in the early hours. Action and desire move in flow. The Moon meets Jupiter in Cancer, offering nourishment and expansion at home.
Within: What choices feel aligned with your heart today? Where can you act from love rather than fear?
Without: Notice how relationships show you what you value. Small acts of kindness or generosity will reveal much about your deeper desires.
Contemplation: The God of War and the Goddess of Love sit in conversation. When They agree, we feel ease. How can you honour both your drive to act and your longing to connect?
✨ Wednesday
Wednesday 17th Sept | Mercury opposite Saturn in Pisces
The Messenger stands opposite the God of Time. 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?
Contemplation: Saturn reminds us of consequence, Mercury brings the message. Will you wait for life to undo what no longer serves, or will you choose to release it yourself?
✨ Thursday
Thursday 18th Sept | Mercury enters Libra | Mercury opposite Neptune
Mercury steps into Libra, seeking balance and harmony. Immediately opposing Neptune, the dissolver, blurring the edges between clarity and vision. Venus lingers at the final degree of Leo, Her lessons in loud, dramatic love reach a climax before She turns to quieter devotion.
Within: Where do you long for balance yet struggle with confusion? Which dream or illusion asks to be faced honestly?
Without: Notice how relationships mirror this tension. Conversations may slip between honesty and projection.
Contemplation: The God of Mind seeks fairness; the God of the Sea dissolves certainty. 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?
Without: Notice surprising conversations, messages, or events that reveal deeper truth. Pay attention to what feels fated.
Contemplation: Mercury the Messenger opens the door to Uranus the Awakener and Pluto the Transformer. Truth pierces illusion. What insight are you ready to hold?
✨ Saturday
Saturday 20th Sept | Venus square Uranus | Balsamic Moon
Venus meets Uranus in tension. Love and value are unsettled, shaken, disrupted. 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.

🌿 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.

Pisces (12th house): Hidden fears, isolation, or subconscious patterns reach their limit.

♓ 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!
