September's Cosmic Overview
September 2025 arrives with powerful celestial movements that promise transformation on both personal and collective levels. As we transition from summer to autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, the cosmic energies mirror this shift with themes of harvest, release, and preparation for new cycles.
Key Planetary Movements
Mercury Retrograde in Libra (September 7-28)
Communication planet Mercury begins its retrograde journey in relationship-focused Libra. This three-week period calls for reviewing partnerships, reconsidering agreements, and reflecting on how we communicate in relationships.
Full Moon in Pisces (September 13)
The Pisces Full Moon heightens intuition and emotional sensitivity. This is a powerful time for releasing old emotional patterns and embracing spiritual insights. Dreams may be particularly vivid and meaningful.
Autumn Equinox (September 22)
The equinox brings a moment of perfect balance between light and dark, inviting us to find equilibrium in our own lives. It's a powerful portal for setting intentions for the coming season.
Themes for the Month
1. Relationship Recalibration
With Mercury retrograde in Libra and Venus moving through Scorpio, relationships take center stage. Old patterns surface for healing, and we're called to communicate with greater authenticity and depth.
2. Spiritual Downloads
The Pisces Full Moon opens channels for spiritual insights and intuitive downloads. Pay attention to signs, synchronicities, and inner knowing. Meditation and dream work are especially potent.
3. Harvesting Wisdom
September asks us to reflect on what we've learned and accomplished this year. What wisdom have you gained? What are you ready to release? This harvest isn't just material—it's spiritual and emotional too.
Week-by-Week Energy Guide
Week 1 (September 1-7)
The month begins with grounding earth energy. Focus on practical matters and preparation. Mercury stations retrograde on the 7th, so complete important communications and back up digital files early in the week.
Week 2 (September 8-14)
Emotional intensity builds toward the Full Moon. Old feelings may resurface for processing. Practice self-care and give yourself space to feel without judgment. The Full Moon on the 13th brings emotional release and spiritual insights.
Week 3 (September 15-21)
Integration week. Process the insights from the Full Moon and prepare for the equinox. This is an excellent time for therapy, coaching, or deep conversations with trusted friends.
Week 4 (September 22-30)
The equinox on the 22nd marks a turning point. New energy flows in as we release the old. The final week supports new beginnings, even as Mercury remains retrograde. Plant seeds with patience, knowing they'll bloom when the time is right.
