Laurie’s Weekly Astrology Forecast: September 1–7, 2025

The Week’s Astrology Synopsis

Elin Kleopatra Danielson Gambogi, ‘Harvest’, 1898

This week begins with Saturn stationing retrograde, calling us back to something we left unfinished in our rush to move ahead. Look to the house that holds Pisces in your natal chart for clarity on where that misplaced item or story might be.

On Monday, Saturn retrogrades into Pisces, asking us to re-engage an effort that’s still incomplete or a problem still unresolved. Tuesday sharpens our focus as Mercury enters Virgo, and our thoughts turn to what needs refinement. By Wednesday, Mercury squares Uranus, jolting us into wakefulness. Something needs to change.

Mars squares Jupiter on Thursday, fueling impulsive action that could lead to overreach. Friday marks a turning point, both emotionally and energetically, as the Aquarius Moon edges toward Sunday’s eclipse. Saturday slows us down as Uranus stations retrograde, and the Moon slips quietly into Pisces.

By Sunday, the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse brings the week to an emotional high point. This isn’t the time to push forward; it’s time to release, watch, and pay careful attention.

RETURN TO A QUIET EFFORT: Monday, September 1, 2025

Saturn retrogrades into Pisces and brings focus back to what’s been left unfinished. Look to the house in your chart that holds Pisces. Something there still requires steady effort. This is slow, steady work that needs attention and patience. We may not know what is being asked of us, but we do know that Saturn asks for maturity, even when the way forward is unclear. Pisces does not make the way clear, but it does make it clear that we must keep showing up.

The Moon begins the day in Sagittarius, where the mood is curious but opinionated. That changes when it enters Capricorn at 9:45 PM EDT. The shift is subtle but grounding. Attention turns toward practical action and long-range goals.

The Moon begins the day in Sagittarius, keeping things loose and forward-looking. That changes when it enters Capricorn at 9:45 PM EDT. The mood shifts as focus sharpens. Over the next few days, there will be less room for exploration and more need for structure. It is time to get serious about a plan for the days ahead.

  • What needs more consistent effort in the part of your chart that holds Pisces?
  • What’s one unfinished task you can return to this week?
  • What’s the next practical step you can take to bring some order to your plans?

WHERE FOCUS MEETS PRECISION: Tuesday, September 2, 2025

The Moon moves through Capricorn all day, offering ambition and focus. Capricorn reminds us that consistency and effort matter most. This is a good day for practical tasks and quiet efforts that support long-term goals.

Mercury enters Virgo at 3:32 PM EDT, shifting the mental tone. Mercury in Virgo supports our minds to be exact, refined, and focused on what is helpful to others. While Mercury was in Leo, our thinking was expressive and excitable. Now with Mercury in Virgo, our thinking analyzes and edits. Look to the house in your chart that holds Virgo. This is where your thoughts now gather. You’re not here to fix everything, but you will want to keep your eyes open and notice where improvements can be made.

  • What practical task today supports a bigger goal down the line?
  • In the part of your chart that holds Virgo, what’s ready to be refined?
  • Where can a small improvement make things run more smoothly?

A NEW FREQUENCY OF MIND: Wednesday, September 3, 2025

In the wee house of the morning, transiting Mercury forms a square aspect to Uranus. This suggests that the mind encounters either excitement or anxiety and is subsequently jolted into some form of wakefulness. Something or someone you’ve taken for granted may show itself to be quite unstable.

A belief or a pattern of thinking or behaving could crack open and profoundly change without giving notice. Perhaps you find yourself feeling impatient or overstimulated. You may notice something obvious all along, but unseen until now. Think of this as a day of mental recalibration. Uranus disrupts our lives so that we will make the changes that are necessary for our development or understanding. Be willing to look directly at that which you have not wanted to see.

The Moon remains in Capricorn all day. If your thoughts feel out of sync with your actions, allow the serious Capricorn Moon to ground you. Focus on what is stable within, even as what is external shifts.

  • What am I seeing now that I couldn’t before?
  • Where is my thinking ready for disruption?
  • What inner voice needs more freedom?

CHECK YOUR IMPULSES: Thursday, September 4, 2025

At 6:32 AM EDT, the Moon enters Aquarius, and the mood shifts from focused ambition to an expansive perspective. Aquarius pulls us away from what is personal as it asks the big questions. While the moon is in Aquarius, we are not interested in emotional excess. We want the perspective of the intellect to sort out what matters and what doesn’t.

Transiting Mars spends the day building toward its square to Jupiter, which is exact at 10:58 PM EDT. This may feel like we are being pushed too fast toward something we may or may not want at all. You might feel pressure to move without knowing where you’re going. Remember, you don’t need to act on every outside pressure or inner urge. Patience may not be easy to find today, but it is important to stay resistant to action long enough to understand the longer-term ramifications.

  • Where am I pushing too hard?
  • What plan needs more thought before action?
  • How can I let urgency settle before deciding?

NEARING THE EDGE OF REVELATION: Friday, September 5, 2025

The Moon continues through Aquarius as energy builds toward the upcoming eclipse. You may notice a low hum of restlessness. For today, the Aquarius Moon helps you look at your emotions from a distance, allowing you to understand them more clearly. By not getting caught in emotion, Aquarius allows us the perspective to see the shape of something much larger than ourselves.

There are no decisions that need to be made today. However, pay attention to how your values and understanding of your goals and beliefs are changing. There is no hurry to get to the other side. Clarity needs time to unfold, and no matter what the questions may be, the answers don’t need to be immediate.

  • What future vision am I ready to see?
  • Where do I need distance to see clearly?
  • What emotional pattern is becoming more visible?

PAUSING AT THE THRESHOLD: Saturday, September 6, 2025

Uranus has been moving relentlessly forward since January 30, 2025. Today, it stations retrograde, pulling back some of the outward momentum we’ve been caught in. If things have been changing too fast, this is when the brakes can be applied. Could this turn us back from the brink? Maybe. Retrogrades don’t reverse the story, but they do slow the pace. What felt urgent might now feel less pressing. Use that space to regroup before the next wave hits.

The Moon stays in Aquarius until 11:55 PM EDT, then enters Pisces. The intellectual detachment of the past two days gives way to emotional softness. Emotions may move closer to the surface in the coming days. This brings us into a quieter, more internal time.

  • What’s slowing down, and why?
  • Where do I need to listen without responding?
  • What kind of internal change is about to begin?

A MOMENT OF RELEASE: Sunday, September 7, 2025

The Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs at 2:12 PM EDT. This suggests the need to surrender. Lunar eclipses close something that has run its course. Don’t expect whatever is involved to be explained in a clear storyline. Pisces doesn’t work that way. It is more likely to allow the storyline to fade away or get so obscured we can no longer see what we thought we could see. Something is taking leave. Don’t even try to fully understand, just release and let go. Let the tide rise and fall. Let what ends, end. What’s ending now is connected to whatever began in late February 2025.

  • What have I been holding that’s already leaving?
  • Where can I let something go without needing a replacement?
  • What is this silence trying to show me?
