'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 | 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.
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.

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.

♋ Cancer Rising

🐍 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?
Breathe into the possibility that your work is not only for yourself, but for those who came before and those yet to come.

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.
