Weekly Astrology Forecast | Saturn Retrograde in Pisces, Mercury in Virgo & Pisces Lunar Eclipse | Sept 1–7 2025

We enter September with a distinct shift in tone, moving from the fire of summer into the grounding earth element of the Indian summer in the Chinese Medicine wheel. As this transitional energy comes forward, grounding becomes essential for navigating the instability of change. This is particularly relevant this week as we step into Eclipse season, have some Uranus action mid week and Saturn’s return to Pisces, bringing more unstable, unpredictable energy. September itself is a pivotal month: eclipses mark turning points, outer planets prepare to station retrograde, and the second half of the year begins with a sense of closing one chapter and readying for a new era that will carry us into 2026!

Monday 1st September

Saturn Retrogrades Back Into Pisces

• A revisiting of something we left behind in May.

• Saturn will remain in Pisces until mid-February.

• This is not new—it's part of a story that has been unfolding for the past 2.5 years.

• It signals an ending, a final opportunity to wrap things up and integrate the lessons.

• Saturn brings structure, work, discipline, challenge and growth through restriction.

• It can feel heavy or limiting, but also helps shape something lasting.

• In Pisces, Saturn seeks to bring form to the intuitive, imaginative, and intangible.

Tuesday 2nd September

Mercury Moves Into Virgo

• Mercury shifts from fiery Leo into earthy Virgo, its home sign.

• This is where Mercury thrives—communication, detail, precision, analysis.

• It’s a great time for routines, health, writing, planning and refining.

• Small actions compound over time—think micro rather than macro.

• The shadow side: being overly critical, nitpicking, or paralysed by perfectionism.

Wednesday 3rd September

Mercury in Virgo Squares Uranus in Gemini

• Expect unexpected or disruptive conversations—something could shake the ground.

• Both planets are in signs they rule, which makes the energy sharper.

• Uranus brings awakening, shocks and breakthroughs; Mercury is the messenger.

• A tense square between the two could expose cracks in what felt stable.

• Conversations or ideas could challenge assumptions and open new perspectives.

Jupiter Trines the North Node in Pisces

• A supportive influence leading into this week’s eclipse.

• Jupiter rules this eclipse, which adds an optimistic undertone.

• Growth, expansion and opportunity are aligned with destiny’s pull forward.

• Still, this is eclipse energy—unstable, fast-moving, not something to consciously direct.

• Notice what is thriving, stay grounded, and observe from a higher vantage point.

• In Human Design terms, this is about “passenger consciousness”—watching, observing without trying to control.

Friday 5th September

Mars in Libra Squares Jupiter in Cancer

• A surge of energy that pushes growth and action.

• Squares bring tension—this could manifest as conflict, or simply the friction that sparks progress.

• Jupiter has the stronger position here; Mars is in its fall in Libra and less fiery than usual.

• Rather than impulsive or aggressive, Mars in Libra is more balanced and measured.

• This square can help cut through indecision, pushing things forward in a considered way.

Sunday 7th September

Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces @ 15 degrees

• The second of three Pisces eclipses—part of a longer storyline.

• The first occurred on 18th September 2024, the final comes in August 2025.

• This eclipse carries the imprint of Saturn, but this time Jupiter rules, softening the intensity.

• Jupiter is exalted here, which brings a sense of hope and faith amidst uncertainty.

• Eclipses are pivot points—unstable energy, beginnings and endings, shifts in direction.

• This moment continues threads from last September, highlighting what needs to be released and what wants to be born.
