September 2025: A Month of Cosmic Transformation
As September 2025 unfolds, we’re entering one of the most transformative and powerful months of the year. According to psychic astrologer Jimmy, founder of The Tarot Ship, this month brings “mighty, game-changing” energy that will create significant wake-up calls and surprising moments for everyone. While these shifts might initially leave us feeling shaken, there’s a beautiful promise hiding in the chaos: those who embrace real and radical change will find themselves richly rewarded. September serves as a cosmic reset button, giving us all an opportunity to realign with our authentic paths and discover new possibilities that may have previously seemed unimaginable.
The astrological landscape this month is extraordinarily active, with every inner planet changing signs (Mercury moves through Virgo and Libra, Venus transitions from Leo to Virgo, and Mars shifts from Libra to Scorpio). Meanwhile, all outer planets are in retrograde motion—Saturn in Pisces, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius—creating a powerful backdrop for introspection and reassessment. Uranus begins its retrograde in Gemini on September 6th, opening our minds and expanding our consciousness, particularly regarding digital matters, social media, and education. Adding to this potent mix, Pluto will be “out of bounds” in Aquarius, amplifying its transformative energy and bringing hidden truths to the surface. This combination of planetary movements creates a perfect storm for revelation and change that touches every aspect of our lives, from personal relationships to career paths and spiritual journeys.
The most dramatic astrological events this month are undoubtedly the two eclipses that open what astrologers call an “eclipse portal”—a period of accelerated change and destiny. Eclipses carry ten times the power of regular new and full moons, and this month they fall on the Virgo-Pisces axis, highlighting health issues (both mental and physical) and our connection to the spiritual realm. The total lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 8th draws our attention to the collective unconscious, potentially bringing issues related to religion, addiction, and water to the forefront. As Jimmy explains, “Lunar eclipses represent endings and closure, and so does Pisces (the last Zodiac sign).” This eclipse offers cathartic release, especially for situations that began around September 17, 2024, with the previous Pisces eclipse. Later in the month, the new moon solar eclipse in Virgo at a critical 29th degree represents a significant culmination or reset point. Day-to-day routines, including work habits and health practices, are likely to shift dramatically for the next six months, prompting us to reconsider everything from our digital consumption to our dietary choices.
For Aries, Pisces, and Leo, September brings particularly intense challenges. Aries will experience Saturn retrograde moving from their sign back into Pisces, activating their house of endings and the subconscious mind. Meanwhile, Neptune retrograde has them questioning the value of their dreams and actions. Most Aries will see changes in their daily routines, especially at work, whether they’re seeking these changes or not. For Pisces, Saturn’s reentry into their sign just before an eclipse there creates a deeply introspective and emotional period. They’ll confront their shadow self, examine relationships, and may experience surprises at home. Leos, coming off the high of having several planets in their sign recently, could feel a comedown as September focuses their attention on money matters, from salary concerns to investments and shared assets. Pluto could also bring disruption to their relationships, possibly causing fallouts with friends. For all these signs, flexibility and willingness to recalibrate will be essential to navigate the month successfully.
On the brighter side, Gemini, Virgo, and Aquarius stand to benefit significantly from September’s cosmic weather. Geminis will focus on home and family while keeping their career goals in sight. Although the first week might be challenging with Mercury squaring Saturn, their adaptability will serve them well. Uranus retrograde in their sign could actually lessen chaos in their physical world, and its positive aspect to Pluto suggests they’ll gain wisdom and possibly financial benefits by month’s end. Virgos, who have been experiencing transformation since the South Node entered their sign last year, will enjoy having the sun, Mercury, and Venus moving through their sign this month. The solar eclipse in Virgo acts as a “rocketship” for their plans, and Jupiter’s favorable position brings luck to their long-term goals and dreams. For Aquarius, this month holds potential breakthroughs in love, family, creative projects, and finances. While Pluto’s “out of bounds” position in their sign might create restlessness, channeling this energy constructively could lead to spectacular transformation, especially with Venus in Virgo supporting their wealth-building efforts and deepening partnerships.
September 2025 ultimately serves as a cosmic invitation to embrace change rather than resist it. The planetary movements and eclipses are creating opportunities for significant personal growth and transformation across all areas of life. While some signs may feel the pressure more intensely than others, everyone has the chance to use this energy constructively. The key to navigating this month successfully lies in remaining flexible, following your intuition, and being willing to let go of what no longer serves you. As old structures fall away and new possibilities emerge, we’re all being called to rise to our highest potential and create lives that better reflect our authentic selves. Whatever challenges arise, remember that they’re clearing your path forward toward a more aligned and fulfilling future.
