There are no major aspects until Oct 1, offering you space for rest, reflection and integration following the significant activity of last week. Because we’re in the Eclipse Wormhole until the New Moon in Libra on Oct 21, reality will continue to shift rapidly, creating new circumstances in the blink of an eye. This speaks to endings as well as new opportunities, so rest your nervous system to prepare for the path that awaits you.

 

The Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo opposed Saturn-Neptune and the South Node, indicating endings and surrender, but with a nonlinear energy of building and deconstructing simultaneously. Let’s face it, there are so many active energies now, both creative, innovative and nonlinear, that we can’t possibly track them all. This requires faith in the bigger picture and higher path, beyond 3D drama and any attachment to old familiar structures. 

 

Resistance creates suffering, whereas being proactive is energizing and empowering. Even if you don’t have a vision right now, just doing the next right thing is productive. Connect with your Inner Guidance and your gifts for direction. You may not fully understand your process, but you are in process. We all are. Old structures are coming apart as new structures emerge to create a dream or even the seed of a dream. 

 

Neptune, the planet of illusion, rules dreams and movies. Think of your life as a movie and where are you in yours. If it’s an exciting time, oh boy! If it’s a challenging or confusing time, aren’t you curious to see how it will unfold? 

 

Saturn Retrograde is in Pisces until mid-Feb ’26, either highlighting what needs completion, release or where there’s still work to do. Maybe you’re learning a skill, a new topic, building something or climbing a mountain of some kind, but hopefully it’s a labor of love. It usually is if you’re aligned with your path and purpose, unless you’re in the “paying your dues” phase. Nevertheless, it is leading you somewhere.

 

Neptune is on the World Axis (0º Aries), the beginning of the zodiac for the next month, so everything from the arts, media, imagination, collective consciousness, oceans and all forms of water, propaganda, confusion and smokescreens (think: a Monet painting) are possible on the world stage. Also, compassion, empathy, selfless service and unconditional love. It can express as high or low. 

 

The media emphasizes the lows to control the masses, and social media plays that game as well, but you don’t have to play. Curate your life. Decide what and who you see and hear, so that it serves your highest good. Your heart and nervous system will thank you, as your soul leads the way. 

 

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all in harmony, magically weaving a web of innovative creativity that will ultimately change the way we operate. This speaks to technology, medical advances and a myriad of futuristic solutions that will propel us forward. Again, we don’t know what we don’t know.

 

Oct 1 – Mercury square Jupiter. We begin October with this buoyant, big picture energy of optimism and positive thinking. This works when you use it to expand your vision or stretch beyond old boundaries to seek the new. Jupiter at it’s best is visionary, inspired and enthusiastic, committed to an outcome and so positive, it will often manifest—and others will join in because they feel your vision and conviction.

 

This is great for teaching, learning, writing, networking and brainstorming. Or you can over-estimate or over-promise what you really can’t deliver (or don’t want to when the time comes), so be mindful of what you say. Jupiter is an upbeat energy, and the square indicates a potential issue with judgment with Jupiter involved. Again, be mindful of your thinking and communications. If you need to make sales calls, pitch a project or ask for something, this could be a good day to do it (confidence high). 

 

This is also very powerful for exploring your thinking to see how you might be limiting yourself—via tunnel vision, a fixed perspective or not going beyond certain parameters re: people, places, hopes and dreams. Your comfort zone can easily become a rut. Mercury square Jupiter can take you somewhere new mentally, philosophically or literally (travel). Expand and explore for renewal and growth. This is a great day to journal your vision for yourself going forward to see what comes through you.

 

Jupiter (expansion) will trine Saturn (structure) from late Sept ’25 – early Jan ’26. This is very productive for moving forward by expanding your world, while still maintaining a sense of stability and security. A harmonious balance of methodical growth, which is a blessing in the midst of rapid changes. 

 

If you’re currently creating something new, allow the energetic updraft to carry you to new heights and innovative discoveries about yourself and what’s possible. 

 

The dismantling in 3D are required for the world to be transformed. Do your work, do what you’re called to do and have faith that All is in Divine Order.

 

May the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

 

I am always grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

As we approach the Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo on Sept 21, we are being propelled into a new reality, as events unfold rapidly with dramatic effects for the collective. If you have planets or points activated by this Eclipse, you’ll likely feel it in your personal life, yet none of us are untouched. This is a turning point that is reshaping our world; via both its purpose and its power.

 

Sept 19-Oct 13 – Venus is in analytical Virgo, craving order, alignment (as in Feng Shui), focusing on details, creative skills or any improvement that will enhance your quality of life. Venus in Virgo will be of service in practical ways. Relationships may be under the microscope and you may recognize a limiting pattern you want to shift, in order to create a course correction that will allow you and your relationship to evolve and grow. 

 

Sept 20 – Venus square Uranus. You may be at the effect of a curveball or you make an unexpected change that catches others off guard. The square indicates the abrupt nature of the change, even if you are the one making it. If you’ve felt stifled, you may have an urgent impulse to break out of a rut, a box or your usual Venusian life (relationships, style, creativity, social connections). To utilize this energy deliberately, do something to express your Authentic Self and Inner Free Spirit that will liberate you. Be proactive and see who or what you call in. 

 

Sept 21 – New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29º Virgo @ 12:54pm PDT. This is the 2nd New Moon in Virgo, the first being 0º Virgo on Aug 23, when a seed was planted and something began. With a Solar Eclipse on the final degree of Virgo (mastery), and with Saturn opposing the Solar Eclipse, it’s a new beginning that contains an ending or letting go. Fated events are expected, especially with this Eclipse landing on the World Axis, which creates events that attract global attention. Stay tuned…

 

The Mercury-ruled Virgo Sun and Moon seek efficiency and linear functioning, while Saturn in opposition can exert pressure and obstacles that create blocks, extra work or delays. If you experience this, remember it is guiding you to a higher purpose, as Saturn (restructuring) and the North Node (Destiny) in Pisces both ask you to trust in Divine Timing as you release what is complete so that you can move forward. 

 

This Solar Eclipse contains a kite configuration—a flowing Grand Trine in Air: Mercury in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini—and an opposition from the New Moon and Mercury to Saturn-Neptune. The social, strategic, innovative genius available in the Grand Trine is activated by the opposition from Mercury, the Sun and Moon opposite Saturn-Neptune. 

 

Although it seems like you’d want to avoid the hard aspects, they create dynamic action that makes things happen, so get curious and look for opportunities when you confront a hurdle, an ending or the unknown. The oppositions invite you to channel your intuition and access your imagination for creative guidance, rather than following outside forces that seek to control you. Consider this an awakening, with profound possibilities that are available to you when you are open and available. 

 

Sept 22-Nov 4 – Mars in Scorpio. This is the unstoppable Mars, who gets what it wants and will go to any length to make it happen. Taylor Swift has this Mars. When she was in her 20s she tried to buy her master recordings from her former record label (she signed a bad deal as a teen). They wouldn’t sell them to her, so she re-recorded six albums, adding new elements to each—and directed her followers to only buy her new recordings. 

 

There’s more to the story (you can google it), but it is astounding how she outsmarted successful  businessmen—and she won! In her 20s! Nobody has ever done what she did in the history of the recording industry, and THAT is Mars in Scorpio. It it can’t get it one way, it will get it another way. And it will plot and plan and do the work to make it happen, no matter what. I still am amazed. Yes, hers is a natal planet, but still, it is a super-power.

 

So with Mars in Scorpio, if you have a project that requires effort and focus, this is a great time to utilize this tenacious energy that has stamina and will power. Use it for your Higher Good and use TS for inspiration if you need it!

 

Sept 22 – Sun enters Libra @ 11:19am PDT. The Sun crosses the World Axis at 0º Libra and this is the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are in balance as we enter Autumn in the northern hemisphere and the “we” season of other-oriented Libra, sign of peace, harmony, beauty and relationships. 

 

Sept 23 – Sun opposite Neptune. If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed and extra-sensitive, take good care of yourself and bathe in nature or water (both are soothing). Your senses need TLC, so give yourself space, rest and quiet reflection, spiritual practices, creative food or whatever nourishes you. Or you may be drawn to creative pursuits, serving those less fortunate, feeling compassionate, empathetic, working as a healer, counselor, a priestess or mystic. Blessed be, wherever you are.

 

Later, the Sun trines Uranus. You may have an insight that inspires you to take a risk that is liberating. You’re seeking stimulation, excitement or a walk on the wild side. It’s harmonious, so you’ll likely choose an unusual (for you) and healthy expression of your Authenticity. Yes to that!

 

Sept 24 – Sun trine Pluto. Passionate and persuasive, this ambitious energy fuels the drive to make things happen and transform problems into opportunities. Use it well. 

 

Mars square Pluto – With Mars in Scorpio, you are operating with the planet of aggression (Mars) in the sign of power (Scorpio). Also, the Moon is in Scorpio today, on Mars, making the situation even more emotional and potentially volatile. Mars square Pluto is combustible and there will be a confrontation. I suggest you stay out of it, if possible. Lay low—this is not the day to to speak out, pick a fight or be provocative. 

 

You may feel like you have a volcano within you, ready to blow. Maybe something has been building inside and now it’s at the breaking point. This is a perfect day for a breakthrough if you’re doing therapeutic work, deep, focused solo work or research. If you feel edgy, do everyone a favor and sequester yourself and physically move your energy to release steam (exercise, dance, bike, swim, hike). Channel the energy to work for you in practical ways; you can move mountains when you harness it.

 

This week can be helpful if you’ve felt stuck in any area of your life. Focus on what you want to change as we move through this dynamic energy and know that as the world changes, you will change. That’s the point. We are here to grow and evolve.

 

If you’re currently creating something new, allow this energetic updraft to carry you to new heights and innovative discoveries about yourself and what’s possible. We’re entering an exciting creative time.

 

The breakdowns and dismantling in 3D are required for the world to be transformed. Do your work, do what you’re called to do and have faith that All is in Divine Order.

 

May all the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

Sept 12 – Today is ripe for expansion with the Sun and Mercury both sextile and Jupiter exalted in Cancer. Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches, and with the Sun (vitality, your Big Light), you may envision a new path or be ready to step forward where you were once reluctant. 

Mercury (the mind) and Jupiter (Higher Truth, meaning, beliefs) can facilitate a big picture or visionary perspective, as well as fruitful info, convos, communications, agreements and connections. You never know what you are putting into action, so choose your thoughts, words and actions wisely. 

 

Sept 13 – Mercury Cazimi the Sun in Virgo. Mercury is at home in Virgo with all the details, creating order, steps and alignment. This is an invitation to open to Divine Guidance, signs, messages or revelations that inform your vision, future and decisions you need to make. 

 

Allow any new info, ideas, synchronicity and awareness to align with your wisdom and insight, as what comes through are the seeds of your future. Journal, channel, contemplate or sit in silence to create sacred space to attune to what’s present for you.

 

Sept 15 – Venus sextile Mars. The harmony of the Yin-Yang energy goes to play, creativity, negotiations, action and passion. With its charming, magnetic energy as a backdrop, this is a perfect conduit for dating, networking and social occasions. Enjoy!

 

Sept 16 – Venus trine Chiron. Personally, you can heal issues around worthiness, lovability, your value, $$ and relationships. This also facilitates reconciliation, compassion, forgiveness and amends, if you feel a needed course correction or heartwounds. Remember to include compassion and forgiveness for your Self as well, before you give it all away to others. 

 

Mars opposite Chiron. Mars is aggression, whereas Chiron is the wound AND the medicine, so anger can be a catalyst for healing, should you choose to explore your triggers to find the pain buried beneath the fuse. You could be the bully (causing pain) or the one who can’t assert yourself, feeling dominated. If something comes up, pay attention, in order to address any patterns that keep you small. The effort you make will change your life. 

 

Sept 17 – Mercury opposite Saturn. This indicates a reality check, a decision that’s not simple and the pressure you feel to make it. Maybe something has come to a head that you were hoping to avoid. You may be restructuring, reorganizing and doing the work needed to handle the situation. 

 

Methodical actions are the antidote for worry, fear, heaviness or stress about what you’re facing if it’s weighing on you. The efforts you make will benefit you in the long run and the reasons for any delays will be revealed as you go forward. Just remember, All is unfolding in Divine Timing.

 

Sept 18 – Mercury in Libra (until Oct 6). Libra is the diplomat, negotiator, strategist, the charming, eloquent sign of relationships, peace and harmony. Mercury wants to create equitable agreements, connections and win-win situations, executed with a level head and respectful words.

 

When Mercury enters Libra, she encounters the transpersonal (outer) planets, one by one, creating a kite pattern, This is a harmonious Grant Trine with a dynamic opposition to Mercury within it. I’ll break it down. 

 

Mercury opposite Neptune. Mercury wants info, facts, clarity and Neptune is right-brained, conceptual, fantasy-prone, will tune out or be overwhelmed by too many details, too much info or when info is too intense. This is creative, compassionate, spiritual, intuitive energy that is perfect for journaling, creative writing, storytelling, artistic and energetic connections—as well as rest, relaxation and daydreams. See where you’re led when you let yourself go nonlinear and just Be. 

 

Mercury trine Uranus. Uranus activates innovative ideas and solutions that drop in suddenly when you’re open. It is stimulating, electric energy on an untrod path, so don’t look for tried and true. Be inventive, take a risk and do something different to break up stagnant energy and get out of a rut. Science experiment; it’s so exciting when you discover hidden potential you didn’t know existed! Authenticity is one of the goals, so who are you when you get real and no one’s watching?! Express your Self…

 

Mercury trine Pluto. Mercury digs deep here, to find the truth, the real story or a solution to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. You may transform some aspect of your Self or your life with personal or therapeutic work. Hidden info may be revealed that is useful for your growth and evolution, but in any event, you will have mental stamina to focus on something that is worth your time, effort and energy. Use it well. 

 

We are approaching the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sept 21 (our 2nd New Moon in Virgo this season), which will bring more endings and letting go. Because it’s ruled by Mercury, consider your mental patterns; any negative or limited ideas and thoughts that are not serving you. What about social media and internet for mental occupation? Maybe you need to limit your screen time. 

 

You can do an inventory on your family and cultural programming re: your beliefs to see if your current mindset is empowering you or holding you back. Are you actions in alignment with your Authentic Self or do you follow others (literally)? Anything that’s not helpful is ripe for adjusting or letting go of, but you need to replace it with a more aligned alternative—something that will serve you better. 

 

For now, do the next right thing and remember that in the Eclipse Wormhole, we can shift from one reality to another in a heartbeat and fated events often occur. So get ready, you could be in a major turning point.

 

May all the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

We’re in the Eclipse Wormhole, with Uranus Stationing Retrograde just before the Lunar Eclipse, creating an atmosphere that is ripe for redirection. These potential shifts (should they occur) will likely be fated and lead us somewhere new. What an experience we’re having…

 

Sept 5/6 – Uranus Stations Retrograde in Gemini. As Uranus stops to turn backwards, it can activate sudden change, rebellion, disruption or the unexpected. It’s the Great Awakener whose mission is to create liberation, so wherever you’re asleep or stuck, this energy is your friend—and things happen quickly. It’s a shakeup and wake up call that can bring things in or take things out that are blocking you from your Highest Good.

 

With the new world operating in revolutionary ways, be willing to review your attitudes, opinions, beliefs, resistance and tunnel vision to see if your perspectives are nourishing and supporting you or not. We’ve moved so far, so fast, and this is an opportunity to review and recalibrate by considering changes, even if you don’t know what they are yet. The idea is to rewrite your story going forward to create a path that honors your Authentic Self and free spirit. Yes yes yes… you have more “genius” than you know. 

 

An aside: I suggest you turn off devices that are beeping, pinging, transmitting data, programming your mind and providing dopamine hits to give yourself a break. Regularly. For your mental health. Bask in nature. Meditation offers real healing that creates inner space, enforced quiet, stillness and doing nothing but going within. I used the mantra: “I Am here,” this morning in meditation. It was great. You can borrow it if you like. 

 

Sept 7 – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 15º Pisces at 11:09am PDT can create turning points and fated events, with the Pisces Moon conjunct the North Node of Destiny. This can indicate endings, closure, completions, releasing and/or a spiritual awakening. You may receive a message that guides you forward with vision, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, unconditional love and Oneness or this may be the beginning of a story that unfolds over the next six months (until the next set of Eclipses). 

 

Eclipses are emotional, and the Lunar Eclipse in watery Pisces, ruled by mighty Jupiter in Cancer brings BIG feelings in waves, up and down. Plus, Mars squares Jupiter, which can either be feel-good, generous, can-do—or conflict and tension. There will be a tendency to overdo it, so be forewarned. 

 

Choose your company and environment wisely, as the atmosphere will be highly charged. It’s a perfect occasion for a Full Moon channeling, releasing ritual, meditation circle or a creative experience (music, dance, anything uplifting). Ask for guidance if you need it.

 

The Lunar Eclipse opens a six-month period of integration and transition that will have a life of its own, depending on other factors involved, but you will feel when something’s on its way out. Maybe it’s about cleanup or restructuring certain areas of your life without knowing how or what to do yet, but trust that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it. 

 

Everything old is new again? Not really, but with Saturn Retrograde back into Pisces you will be facing unfinished business that was put on hold when Saturn left Pisces to enter Aries in late May (following Neptune). 

 

What a 3+ months it’s been, forging into new territory while crossing The World Axis (0º Aries), the beginning of The Beginning. A major new cycle. But before we continue the journey into the new world, we’ve got the Saturn in Pisces cleanup/ending/integration through mid-Feb ’26, which aligns with the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces theme. 

 

The big picture: Saturn, Neptune and Uranus will all Retrograde back into their previous signs for cleanup or completion until next winter/spring and then they’ll move forward again to create the new world, never to return to the old again in our lifetime.

 

Everyone has their own personal cycle of movement that is correct for them. Some are on a new path now, creating their next expression, while others are in a holding pattern or handling unfinished business and still others are wondering where they’re meant to be. Trust the rightness of your path.

 

You are here on purpose; you are being prepared for something unique for you and you will be shown the way. Faith, optimism, flexibility and adaptability are superpowers that will help you through the coming weeks, months and years. 

 

I’ve always thought of Uranus transits like the oil can for the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz when he was rusted—a few squirts and he could move! 

 

May all the energy that comes your way serve your movement for the best and Highest Good.

 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
