September 2025 arrives with cosmic intensity, bringing “two eclipses, plenty of retrogrades and many new beginnings” in its wake. The universe seems determined to shake things up – and for some, that means the end of one story and the start of another.
Change is in the air as summer fades into autumn, and even the skeptics among us might sense that “change is in motion” this month. This month, the stars are writing especially dramatic plot twists for three zodiac signs in particular.
Why these three? Each of these signs is aligning with a powerful astrological surge that signals a fresh start. As September asks us to open our hearts to a different chapter in our lives, they will feel this invitation to evolve most strongly. From game-changing eclipses to bold planetary shifts, the cosmic stage is set for profound transformations.
In the following sections, we’ll explore what “endings and beginnings” await these signs and how a new spiritual chapter is unfolding for each. Buckle up, stargazers – it’s going to be a bumpy (and enlightening) ride. Destiny is knocking, and these three signs have the clearest call to answer.
The Cosmic Climate of September 2025
To understand why this September is so pivotal, we first look at its cosmic weather report. The month kicks off with Saturn – planet of discipline and karma – re-entering Pisces on September 1. This retrograde move signals a revisit of unfinished business and lessons from the past.
Just days later on September 6, unpredictable Uranus stations retrograde in quicksilver Gemini, shaking up our routines and norms. This one-two punch of Saturn and Uranus reversing course urges us to slow down and reflect before charging ahead.
Then comes eclipse season – the true headliner of the month. On September 7, a full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces arrives, “emotional and unflinchingly revealing,” and pushes us to dissolve illusions and surrender what must end.
Eclipses are cosmic wildcards; a lunar eclipse often marks fated endings or revelations that clear space in our lives. Fast forward to September 21 when a solar eclipse in Virgo (a potent New Moon) lands, bringing a jolt of new momentum.
This eclipse feels like a “force-quit on the servers” of life, freeing up energy for fresh priorities – essentially, a cosmic reboot urging a bold new beginning.
Rounding out the month, the autumnal equinox on September 22 sees the Sun glide into Libra, restoring some balance. That same day, fiery Mars charges into Scorpio, dialing up the intensity as September closes.
With Mars in passionate Scorpio, the collective drive to transform is in overdrive. All told, the stage is set: endings pave the way for beginnings, and the universe is hitting pause and play almost at once.
Scorpio – Embracing a Phoenix Moment
Scorpio, you’re in your element this month – transformation. September’s cosmic currents are urging you to evolve, even by your standards of intensity. It begins around the September 7 Pisces lunar eclipse, which stirs deep feelings in your heart and creative spirit. Don’t be surprised if an old romance, creative project or emotional attachment reaches a natural conclusion now.
This eclipse is illuminating what your soul has outgrown, encouraging you to release it. As one chapter closes, trust that it’s paving the way for something more fulfilling. In fact, this lunar eclipse “activates your 5th house of love and creativity,” pushing you to express yourself in braver ways and let go of past baggage. It’s a cathartic purge of the old energy that no longer aligns with the person you’re becoming.
Next comes a surge of forward momentum. On September 21, the new moon solar eclipse in Virgo lights up your social sector – think friendships, community, and your long-term dreams. New allies, networks or aspirations could suddenly enter your life.
This cosmic event “shifts your focus toward networks and community”, opening the door to fresh collaborations and goals. It’s like the universe is urging you to find your tribe and start building the future that resonates with your true passions.
Then, right on cue, Mars – your traditional ruler – enters Scorpio on September 22, supercharging your confidence and drive. You’ll feel a renewed sense of power, as if you’ve gotten your mojo back overnight.
Spiritually, this is a phoenix moment for you. You’re reminded that every ending has a purpose in your soul’s growth. Embrace the new chapter unfolding now with courage. Meditation or journaling can help you process the intense insights coming through.
And don’t forget to lean on close friends or a spiritual community as you pursue these “people and projects that truly matter”. This rebirth is yours to claim – step into it without fear, Scorpio. The universe has cleared the path; now it’s up to you to fly.
Capricorn – Climbing Toward a Higher Vision
Capricorn, you are no stranger to hard work and perseverance, but September invites you to work on something different: your perspective. The month starts with your ruling planet Saturn retrograding back into Pisces on September 1, prompting an introspective review of personal plans and mental habits.
You might find yourself reconsidering long-held beliefs or patterns of thinking. Indeed, the Pisces lunar eclipse on September 7 shines a light on your mindset. This could bring a major “aha” moment or the decision to finally release self-limiting thoughts.
Don’t be afraid to let go of that old script in your head – the one insisting everything must go exactly to plan. This eclipse helps “release outdated belief patterns” and stories you’ve outgrown, clearing the way for a wiser outlook.
Around September 21, the energy shifts from internal to expansive. The solar eclipse in Virgo illuminates your 9th house – the realm of big-picture vision, higher learning, spirituality, and adventure. It’s a cosmic nudge to look beyond the familiar.
This eclipse may spark opportunities related to travel, education, or a spiritual quest, any of which can “play a key role in shaping your next chapter”. In short, the universe is urging you to climb higher not just in career, but in consciousness.
Spiritually, this is about embracing growth over comfort. Your traditional path is shifting – and that’s okay. Try doing something outside your norm. (Yes, that might mean trading a weekend of work for a meditation retreat or a hike in nature.) Reconnecting with the natural world can refresh your spirit, echoing the advice to “explore nature” for a quick reset.
If life throws you a detour now, consider it a scenic route for your soul’s journey. By leaning into new experiences and wisdom, you’ll find your ambitions evolving into a higher, more fulfilling vision. Embrace this climb to higher ground, Capricorn – the view will be worth it.
Virgo – Rebirth of the Self
Virgo, the spotlight is squarely on you this month. It’s still your birthday season for much of September, and the cosmos has decided to gift you a massive reset. The peak arrives on September 21 with a powerful solar eclipse in Virgo – essentially a supercharged new moon in your sign.
This event “marks a deeply personal transformation” for you. In other words, it’s your cue to step into a bold new chapter of life. You may already sense it: the habits or labels that used to define you just don’t fit anymore. This eclipse is your chance to shed that old skin and embrace the person you’ve been evolving into. Don’t be afraid to become who you’re truly meant to be.
Earlier in the month, a Pisces lunar eclipse on September 7 brings revelations in your relationship sector. It could highlight who really supports your growth and what connections or patterns you’ve outgrown. If someone or something is draining your energy, this eclipse will make it evident.
As one horoscope noted, it’s time to “release who you’ve outgrown and make space for your next chapter” – and that applies to partnerships and emotional baggage as well. Letting go is simply making room for healthier bonds to enter.
Fortunately, you’re not navigating these changes alone. Your ruler Mercury is in Virgo for the first half of the month, sharpening your mind and intuition so you can discern your path clearly. Plus, Venus enters Virgo by mid-month, encouraging self-love and reminding you to prioritize your own values. Use this cosmic support to set intentions that honor your well-being and happiness.
Spiritually, view this period as a deep cleanse for your soul. It’s an ideal time for rituals of renewal – for example, write down what you wish to release and burn it (safely) as a symbolic fresh start. Take extra care of your body and mind with grounding practices like yoga, meditation, or breathwork.
The whirlwind of transformation may feel unsettling for a detail-loving Virgo, but trust that a higher order is at work. By month’s end, you’ll sense a new you emerging – wiser, lighter, and ready to share your gifts with the world. Embrace this rebirth, and celebrate the dawn of your new chapter, Virgo.
