On September 1st, retrograde Saturn returns to Pisces, and will finish up its transit of Pisces by February 13th, 2026. Saturn turned retrograde while still in the sign of Aries on July 13th, 2025. On September 1st, while retrograde, Saturn returns to the sign of Pisces–one last visit before moving on. On November 27th, Saturn will end its retrograde and turn direct.
This is a time for assessing whether our systems are working regarding how we manage our down time, approach spirituality, and exercise compassion, and from September 1st to February 13th, we may be tying up loose ends in this regard.

On September 3rd, Jupiter forms a trine with the True North Node of the Moon, pointing to a willingness to grow, learn, improve, and develop, moving past our fears. We are ready to embrace new methods and attitudes, leaving behind those no longer serving our growth. Jupiter encourages us to embrace our visions, and its trine to the North Node helps us balance our vision with our intuition. Our conscience is well-developed, and we want to help others. We’re more inclined than usual to believe in the power of the group.
This transit increases our desire to connect with like-minded people or those who can help push us in the direction of growth and improvement. We might form relationships with others who broaden our horizons, expand our minds or worldview, or deepen our personal philosophy. We seek more meaning in life. It’s a fine time for publishing, community involvement, teaching, guiding, and learning. Harmonizing through shared ideas and ideals can figure very strongly at this time.
On the 6th, Uranus turns retrograde, in the sign of Gemini, and will remain retrograde until February 3rd, 2026, although it will return to the sign of Taurus on November 7th. This cycle is a time for a more conservative approach to pursuing our goals. With Uranus retrograde, our desire for change turns inward, prompting us to identify what might be holding us back from living more spontaneously and authentically. This is a less rebellious time. We tend to follow the rules, at least on the surface.
However, as the shift occurs in the surrounding week of the retrograde turn, the Uranian energy becomes heavier and more apparent, leading to some tension. It’s important to remember that this tension is temporary and will ease as we adapt to the directional change. Read more about Uranus turning retrograde on its calendar page.
On September 7th, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in the sign of Pisces, awakening us to consider our spiritual and emotional wellness. The key to balance lies in identifying and expressing our spiritual needs while maintaining order in our everyday lives. This is the third in a set of eclipses falling along the Virgo-Pisces axis, and this set will continue until February 2027. This Lunar Eclipse can serve as a further prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Virgo- and Pisces-ruled areas of life in our charts. Feelings of discontent can magnify.
Occurring close to the time of a Superior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury, an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air is likely and significant. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact, for better or worse! An idea or plan can come to full bloom.

On September 21st, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs in Virgo, prompting a fresh start or clean slate. This lunation prompts us to begin anew and promises us opportunities to take charge of our lives by organizing, editing, refining work, and paying better attention to health. It’s a fertile and productive time. We’re ready to take charge of our daily routines, work, or pursuit of wellness.
Occurring in the last degree of the sign of Virgo, there’s an urgency to our new beginnings. This eclipse opposes Saturn and Neptune and harmonizes with Uranus and Pluto. Our responsibilities to others, our emotional health, and our need for downtime can weigh us down. It can be difficult to pull ourselves away, but we have the tools to make the changes we now realize are necessary for growth.
It’s interesting to note that in this Virgo-Pisces set that runs from September 2024 to February 2027, this September Solar Eclipse is the only Solar Eclipse–the rest of the eclipses in this set are Lunar. It’s the fourth eclipse in this sign set. As well, this is the second New Moon in Virgo (a New Moon occurred in Virgo in the first degree on August 23rd).
