September 2025 is not a quiet month in the skies. It carries eclipses, retrogrades, and a seasonal turning point that together create an atmosphere of change.
Some shifts feel subtle at first, others are undeniable, but all of them invite us to pay attention.
This is a month for honesty, for recognizing what is ending, and for stepping into patterns that better match who we are becoming.
Let’s find out what this September has in store for us.
1. Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (September 1)
On September 1, Saturn slid back into Pisces, and although that moment has already passed, its influence is just beginning to settle in.
Saturn retrogrades are never instant. They unfold slowly, almost like a tide pulling us back to shore.
In Pisces, the lessons have to do with empathy, boundaries, and how we carry responsibility in spaces that feel wide open or hard to define.
Already you may feel a subtle heaviness, the sense that old themes are resurfacing. That’s normal.
Maybe boundaries you thought you had mastered are being tested, or perhaps emotions you put aside are rising again.
Saturn’s purpose here is to help us grow into steadier versions of ourselves. Gradually.
Over the weeks ahead, expect opportunities to practice compassion with limits intact, to care without losing yourself, and to turn sensitivity into strength.
2. Mercury’s Journey from Virgo to Libra (September 2-18)
Mercury moved into Virgo on September 2, so we are already inside this period of sharper perception and heightened attention to detail.
Virgo’s influence feels like a light shining on the overlooked corners of daily life.
Conversations carry extra weight, and small observations have a way of pointing to bigger truths.
This transit is ongoing, and it becomes especially powerful mid-month when Mercury aligns with the Sun in Virgo in what astrologers call a cazimi.
That moment brings a flash of mental clarity, the kind that can cut through weeks of fog. We can use that.
As September continues, Mercury will shift into Libra, and the tone changes. The focus moves from self-analysis toward partnership, fairness, and dialogue.
What we notice now in the Virgo part of Mercury’s journey provides the material for the conversations that unfold later under Libra’s influence.
3. Uranus Retrograde in Gemini (September 5)
On September 5, Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini.
Uranus is the planet of disruption and surprise, and in Gemini those surprises often arrive through words, thoughts, or sudden and powerful shifts in perspective.
Some of us may already feel this energy stirring through conversations veering in unexpected directions and ideas arriving – the ones that can’t be ignored.
Retrogrades tend to be more reflectante than outwardly dramatic. In this case, Uranus is challenging us to rethink how we communicate and how we process information.
Certainty may be harder to hold onto right now, but that’s the point. When our minds are shaken loose, fresh insight can find its way in.
This is not an easy influence, but it is liberating in its own way. It pushes us to break out of stale mental patterns.
4. Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (September 7)
The total lunar eclipse on September 7 is one of the most charged moments of the month.
Eclipses bring endings, and lunar eclipses in particular tend to stir the emotional waters. In Pisces, it’s all about release, entregay curación.
This eclipse can feel like a wave that pulls something out of our grasp, whether we are ready or not. Old attachments or patterns may come to an end.
Emotions run deep, and there may be a sense of exposure as hidden truths rise to the surface. Courage is not just recommended – but required.
Yet with Jupiter offering supportive aspects, this eclipse also carries a note of grace.
What leaves now clears space for something lighter and more aligned. The process may be messy, but it has a purpose.
5. Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (September 21)
Two weeks later, on September 21, the Moon and Sun meet at the final degree of Virgo in a solar eclipse.
Where the lunar eclipse clears space, this one plants seeds. But because it happens at the very end of Virgo, there is urgency. Some things need to end before a new cycle can begin.
Virgo is practical and grounded, so this eclipse directs attention to the everyday structures that shape our lives. Salud, trabajoy rutinas are all highlighted.
If something has become unsustainable, this eclipse may bring it to light. At the same time, it offers a chance to commit to habits and practices that genuinely support well-being.
The changes sparked here may feel small at first, but they ripple outward in powerful ways over time. Embracing them means embracing yourself.
6. Mars into Scorpio and Sun into Libra (September 22)
The energy shifts again on September 22 when Mars enters Scorpio and the Sun moves into Libra.
Together they create a strong contrast. Mars intensifies, pushing us into deeper desire and determination, while the Sun turns our attention to balance and fairness.
Mars in Scorpio is relentless. It wants to uncover what is hidden, to push past surface-level interactions, and to dig into what really matters.
This can be challenging but also empowering if we are willing to meet the intensity directly. Which we should.
On the other hand, the Sun in Libra reminds us that relationships and equilibrium are just as important as passion and drive.
The balance between these two influences will shape the weeks that follow, asking us to hold depth and fairness side by side. This is far from easy, but the work will pay off.
7. The September Equinox (September 22)
That same day, the equinox arrives. Light and darkness share equal time, and the shift into Libra season officially begins.
The equinox is a punto de inflexión, both in nature and in spirit. It reminds us that balance is not static but cyclical. Life tips into growth, then into rest, and both are necessary.
This year’s equinox lands right after the Virgo solar eclipse and alongside Mars’s entry into Scorpio, so the call for balance feels especially urgent.
It is not a vague ideal but something to practice daily – balancing work with rest, speaking as much as listening, honoring intensity without losing harmony.
The equinox steadies the atmosphere, offering a reminder that even after the turbulence of eclipses, balance can be restored.
