SEPTEMBER 2025
ORACLE CARD OF THE MONTH: “Loving Friendship” (Venus in Air). Companionship is attractive. A month to express ourselves with charm, courtesy, and refinement. The more adaptable, easy going, and accommodating we are, the more popular we are likely to become. Our wit, keen intellect, and lively conversation attract a variety of interesting people. We seek new, exciting experiences, yet need to be careful to not become too scattered in our affections, frivolous, casual, or detached.

September is particularly important. With 2 eclipses, Saturn re-entering Pisces for the last time, Venus and Mars changing signs, and all four transpersonal planets being retrograde, this month brings major turning points both in our personal lives and collectively.
Saturn who has been in Pisces since March 2023, re-enters this sign for the last time on Monday 9/1 till February 13, 2026. During the next 5 months ½ outmoded structures will dissolve, meaningless rules will disappear, big organizations will collapse. On one hand, the themes of sickness, depression, and isolation will become prevalent while on the other, there is a revival of faith helping us give form to our dreams. Devious, secretive, underhanded tactics to obtain money, status, or any position of power could be tempting, but only bring agony. Strong karma is being worked out forcing us to release outmoded attachments and develop our empathy, intuition, sensitivity, and flexibility, in a spirit of selfless service.
Uranus turns retrograde on Friday 9/5 till February 3, 2026. Its shadow period remains until March 13, 2026. The degree covered in September (1º28’-1º14’ Gemini) is represented by: “Santa Claus furtively filling stockings hanging in front of the fireplace”. We are confronted to those areas of our lives we may have forgotten or overlooked because of having allowed the external world to define our thoughts and sense of identity. As we manifest our independence and uniqueness we discover a new level of freedom. We also become more in touch with our special talents, gifts, and resources, enabling us to transform our lives in unexpected ways.
Lunar Eclipse on Sunday 9/7 at 15º23’ Pisces. This degree is associated to the following image: “In the quiet of his study, a creative individual experiences a flow of inspiration”. Our impressions are vivid, covering a very wide spectrum. We are encouraged to explore our real feelings and get in touch with our deepest needs. A crisis may reveal that a relationship -both on a personal and professional level, is no longer viable or, on the contrary, that we wish to build something solid with someone we love. A chance is given to us to identify our real emotional needs and release old wounds, outmoded patterns of behavior, bad habits, and rigid routines. In our ability to empathize with others and care for them, we may try to cater to everyone around us, but because this eclipse makes us supersensitive and vulnerable, it is essential that we establish clear boundaries. Under stress, we may even seek complete seclusion. Reconnecting with our dreams and creativity is advised, as is flowing in harmony with the present, following our heart, and spending time in meditation or in Nature. Enjoying a harmonious, peaceful homelife brings emotional stability.
Venus enters Virgo on 9/19 till October 13. During the next 3 weeks, our approach to love is practical and realistic. We value common sense, monogamy, and reliability, aware that actions speak louder than words. Our need for enjoyment comes second to our commitment to duty and obligations. This is a great time to resolve relationship difficulties as we are totally willing to work with our significant other to find positive solutions to existing challenges. Excellent also for taking care of our health, engaging in a gentle exercise program, and improving our hygiene as well as our general appearance.
Solar Eclipse on Sunday 9/21 at 29º05’ Virgo. This degree is symbolized by: “A boy with a censer serves the priest near the altar”. Inviting a concern with deeper issues and an attraction to the mysteries of life, this eclipse offers a blessed opportunity to expand our vision, increase our awareness, better know ourselves, and understand what motivates others. A profound mystical experience has the potential to change our consciousness while giving us sharp insights into the inner nature of things. We are invited to ask ourselves what motivates us and what parts of our life should be reformed. Willing to let go of something that may have been important in the past, but is no longer relevant, we find inventive solutions to difficulties we were unable to tackle in the past. This eclipse deepens our metaphysical, environmental, and humanitarian involvement, brings a marked spiritual awakening, a greater sense of oneness with others and the universe, and most importantly, through a practical attention to details, helps us improve our life conditions.
Mars enters Scorpio on September 22 till November 4. During the next 6 weeks, our fighting spirit and passion emerge in full force. We meet conflict, challenges, and dangerous situations head on, are courageous, powerful, and determined to fight injustices. Yet, our biggest battle could be the one raging inside ourselves confronting us with the need for change so that outmoded conditions may give way to better ones. We are drawn to uncovering secrets and understanding life, power, and sexuality at a deeper level.
Saturn remains retrograde this whole month until November 27. The degrees covered in September (0º01’ Aries-27º50’ Pisces) are represented by: “A woman just risen from the sea. A seal is embracing her”, “A majestic rock formation resembling a face is idealized by a boy who takes it as his idea of greatness, and as he grows up, begins to look like it”, “Light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism”, and “A fertile garden under the Full Moon reveals a variety of full-grown vegetables”. A month to stop looking for appreciation or recognition outside of ourselves and start to find confidence within. The more we draw on our own strength, value our special gifts, and listen to our inner guidance, the more wisdom and happiness we shall derive.
Neptune remains retrograde this whole month until December 10th. The degrees traveled in September (1º22’-0º35’ Aries) are symbolized by: “A comedian reveals human nature” and “A woman just risen from the sea. A seal is embracing her”. We are requested to discern reality from fiction and release those illusions we may have felt to be the truth. Once, we can look at ourselves with authenticity, we are no longer the slaves of a made-up existence and take our rightful place in the universe.
Pluto remains retrograde this whole month until October 13 The degree covered in September (1º47’-1º25’ Aquarius) is associated with the following image: “An unexpected thunderstorm”. A sudden awakening may force us to face reality instead of relishing a fantasy image of life and ourselves. Inspiring others helps us achieve our own goals and dreams.

This month’s intentional meditation is particularly powerful since both the Full and New Moons are eclipses. It starts on Sunday 9/7. Take out as many blank sheets of paper as you have intentions and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they bask in the light of the Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) in Pisces at exactly 11:09 AM. Once that moment has passed, gather your Full Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder until the next New Moon.
On Sunday 9/21, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 12:54 PM for the New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in Virgo. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

Tuesday 9/2: Mercury enters Virgo (6:23 AM) till 9/18
During the next 3 weeks, our common sense, intelligence, precise logic, reasoning abilities, versatility, and attention to details are enhanced. We need order in our surroundings, proceed in a meticulous, careful, thorough manner, but may be so concerned with wanting everything to be perfect that this could lead to a self-defeating humility. We are willing to devote the time and energy to find a practical application to our ideas, use the best techniques available, and do our work accurately.
Wednesday 9/3: Mercury Square Uranus (12:40 AM)
Today, our mind is quick, agile, original, unpredictable, even rebellious. We could argue just for the sake of asserting our difference. Yet jumping to conclusions without having sufficient information or practical experience could make us waste a vast amount of valuable energy. Nervous tension, delays, frustrations, and eccentric goals could make us act in erratic or scattered ways. We are drawn to independent, dynamic people, yet could alienate others through tactless remarks, intellectual conceit, or extreme opinions expressed without thinking. Haste, sudden interruptions, unexpected changes of plans, and a certain disregard for practicality, does not make this a good day for traveling or following through on projects.
Thursday 9/4: Mars Square Jupiter (7:59 PM)
We are likely to feel rather restless, rebellious, even impulsive. It could be hard to relax as we need stimulation, constant activities, and are prone to overextending ourselves. Today, our judgement may not be the best. We could easily overestimate our potential, dissipate our energies, fall prey to exaggeration, misuse or waste resources. Diving into activities we are ill-prepared for, could backfire rather badly. Gambling, breaking the law, or risking our safety is not advised. But if we exercise some level of moderation, discretion, and restraint, remain tolerant, reliable, and honest, we can accomplish things we would normally be afraid of.
Sunday 9/7: Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (11:09 AM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Friday 9/12: Sun Sextile Jupiter (12:30 AM), Mercury Sextile Jupiter (2:53 PM)
Today, setbacks we may have experienced in the past dissolve. Our optimism, self-confidence, and trust push us forward. We seize with honesty, benevolence, and generosity the opportunities that we either create or that present themselves to us. A great day to study, travel, and expand our knowledge of the world.
Saturday 9/13: Sun Conjunct Mercury (3:52 AM)
A wonderful transit for trading, selling, buying, teaching, writing, setting goals, sending e-mails, returning calls, and trying something new. Small trips are favored. Our social life becoming varied and interesting albeit maybe a little superficial.
Monday 9/15: Venus Sextile Mars (8:04 PM)
Our feelings and actions are in balance. We are both self-assertive and relate well to others. Our generous, kind, loving, energetic, easy-going disposition, and strong ability to be ourselves attract positivity and warmth from others. We are encouraged to invest in financial ventures that make our heart sing.
Wednesday 9/17: Mercury Opposition Saturn (10:47 AM)
Today, we are concerned with practical needs and expressing our authentic self. A great day for mental work requiring seriousness, discipline, and focus. Interrupted communications, delayed shipments, heavier responsibilities, are possible. We may need some solitude to reorganize our thoughts, get clearer about our plans, and sort our files out. Our ideas may not quite come across the way we intended, but our sharp insight helps us quickly recognize what is wrong and how to remedy to it.
Thursday 9/18: Mercury enters Libra (3:06 AM) till 10/6, Mercury Opposition Neptune (3:01 PM), Mercury Trine Uranus (9:52 PM), Mercury Trine Pluto (11:27 PM)
During the next 3 weeks, we may find controversy interesting and could be more indecisive, even contrary. This is a good time to address relationship issues. Increased communication with our partner or business associates helps bring the harmony we seek. Excellent also for social interactions. Our negotiation skills are amplified. Today, more specifically, our sensitivity to others and the surrounding vibrations is enhanced. We feel more empathic, insightful, and erratic than usual. Something we envisioned could turn out quite differently from what we expected. Our plans can be disrupted. New people enter our life. We are faced with unusual events. Particularly psychic, we are able to X-ray situations and people but because we are prone to deceit, we should be careful not to be drawn into other people’s drama.
Friday 9/19: Venus enters Virgo (5:39 AM) till 10/13
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Saturday 9/20: Venus Square Uranus (8:42 AM), Sun Opposition Saturn (10:46 PM)
We could endanger our relationships to the point of cutting ourselves off from someone dear to us. We should also be careful with money. Our finances could prove unstable and impulsive spending is not advised. We are likely to feel burdened with responsibilities. The problems we are faced with tend to be tedious. Our efforts could be blocked by some administrative red tape. Best to lay low and take care of ourselves.
Sunday 9/21: Solar Eclipse in Virgo (12:54 PM)
Kindly refer to the opening paragraph.
Monday 9/22: Mars enters Scorpio (12:54 AM) till 11/4, the Sun enters Libra (11:19 AM) till 10/22
Re-Mars in Scorpio, kindly refer to the opening paragraph. During the coming month, we seek peace, are drawn to comfortable, elegant atmospheres, are fond of beauty, and innately respect art and culture. More sociable, charming, tactful, and diplomatic than usual, we are likely to enjoy joining social mixers. The need to establish fair, balanced, harmonious, affectionate companionships feels essential to our well-being. Because we tend to weigh the pros and the cons of every choice we make, it may take longer to come to a decision, but we are more rational, analytical, and objective than normal, and resolute defenders of justice.
Tuesday 9/23: Sun Opposition Neptune (5:53 AM), Sun Trine Uranus (7:55 PM), Sun Trine Pluto (11:05 PM)
More sensitive to others and surrounding vibrations, we also look forward to stimulating adventures that broaden our personal experiences and give us more freedom. Prone to deceit, we should be careful when lending a sympathetic ear as this could draw us into other people’s dramas. Any conflict that may arise is best resolved by focusing on the highest good of all involved. We command the respect of others by expressing ourselves with calm, dignity and poise.
Wednesday 9/24: Mars Square Pluto (4:52 AM)
This transit intensifies our emotions. Festering areas are brought to the surface to be purged and healed. We are required to face our hidden desires, resentments if any, hostility, jealousy, possessiveness, and compulsions. Serious challenges, power struggles, aggressive confrontations could force us to take a different course of action than initially planned. Courageous actions, the strong need to improve existing conditions fuel our capacity to work incredibly long hours, even to the point of exhaustion. However, we should stay away from dangerous situations, sharp tools, radioactive substances, corrosive chemicals, and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
Wishing you a powerful month of September!
In Loving Light.
