'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 | 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?

🌿 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. Something is gestating behind the veil, reshaping how you meet silence and surrender. A cycle closes so another may open unseen.
Prompt: Can I trust what is ending, even when I cannot yet see what is beginning?

Prompt: Which connections support the person I am becoming?
♊ Gemini Rising | 10th House
The eclipse illuminates your public life, career, and calling. What you thought certain may turn. Authority figures, roles, or reputation may shift. A hidden path of vocation is opening.
Prompt: How is life calling me into a truer form of work?
♋ Cancer Rising | 9th House
The eclipse touches your beliefs, your faith, your sense of meaning. A teacher, path, or philosophy may fall away, making space for something new. The journey of truth is not complete.
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.
Prompt: Can I release control and allow shared energy to rebalance?
♍ Virgo Rising | 7th House
The eclipse strikes your house of relationships, contracts, and mirrors. A partnership may begin, end, or change shape. What unfolds carries the weight of fate.

The eclipse glows in your house of joy, creativity, and children. A new creative path, romance, or story of the heart may stir, though its form is not yet clear.
Prompt: What joy is waiting to be born through me?
♐ Sagittarius Rising | 4th House
The eclipse settles at your roots. Your home, family, ancestry. 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.
