FALL EQUINOX – THE CHANGE OF SEASON: Monday, September 22, 2025
Woman with Cockatoo – Peter Oliver Foss ca. 1895-1917
At 2:19 p.m. EDT, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox, the point in the year when day and night are equal in length. It marks the start of a new season and the halfway point of the astrological year. The Fall Equinox is also known as Mabon, a festival celebrating harvest and the pivot toward darker days. It’s a seasonal reset and a time to acknowledge both abundance and decline. Following this moment, we are in Libra season, our attention turns to the relationships and connections that will sustain us through darker, colder days. Diplomacy and decisions that require more than one point of view come into focus. We seek connection through seeing and understanding the person across the table from us. It’s about understanding our own position without losing sight of the people around us.
Mars enters Scorpio today as well, bringing it into one of its own signs, where it has great strength to make things happen. This marks a shift from scattered efforts to a focused drive. Mars in Scorpio works in private and pushes deliberately with clear intention. It does so with depth and follow-through. If something matters to you, you’ll pursue it without drama and without backing down. Hidden motivations and powerful instincts come forward.
The Moon stays in Libra all day, keeping the tone outwardly calm and socially aware. Emotional balance is important, especially as Mar’s energy intensifies below the surface.
As Mars dives deeply inward, the Sun turns its attention outward. Let both instincts inform your choices. Be strategic, pay attention, while staying open to new connections.
- Where do you need to reconnect with someone who plays a steady role in your life?
- What are you pursuing quietly that deserves more focused attention?
- How can you balance your own needs without tuning out the people around you?

MIXED SIGNALS, SHARP AWAKENING: Tuesday, September 23, 2025
The Sun opposes Neptune at 8:53 a.m. EDT, bringing confusion or lack of clarity to the start of the day. You might feel unclear, drained, or unsure where your energy should go. It’s easy to misread people or lose track of priorities under this influence. If something doesn’t add up, leave it alone for now. This isn’t a day for over-explaining or pushing for answers. Either way, you will not get what you are looking for.
The Moon remains in Libra, keeping social dynamics front and center. You may be weighing different perspectives, but with Neptune in the mix, don’t rely on surface signals. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
By night, the tone shifts. The Sun trines Uranus at 10:54 pm EDT, offering a jolt of clarity or a fresh perspective. This aspect supports progress in soem areas where you may have felt stuck. It may open something up in order to clear a path forward.
Confusion in the early part of the day can lead to a clean break or breakthrough by the end of the day.
- What’s confusing you right now, and can you simply hit the pause button?
- Where are you open to a different approach or unexpected insight?
- Are you listening to yourself, or just trying to keep the peace?

POWER PLAYS ARE CHALLENGED: Wednesday, September 24, 2025
The day begins with the Sun trine Pluto, providing a quiet but steady current. You may notice something you’ve been managing in the background start to move forward. Although it is not loud, this is a powerful aspect. You can use this energy best if you’re already clear on your direction or role. You don’t need to prove your position; stay with what you know, and keep moving forward.
The Moon enters Scorpio early in the day. The mood tightens as emotional attention sharpens. You may care more about what’s going on behind the scenes than what people are saying. You are likely to have less tolerance for distractions or surface talk and be more interested in depth and follow-through.
Mars, newly in Scorpio, squares Pluto at 7:51 am EDT. This brings great pressure. If you’ve been avoiding something, it will probably break through whatever screen you have been using to hold it at bay. This square can show up as control issues and unspoken resentments. If you’re forcing your way through something, stop and look at what’s really going on. If someone else is pushing too hard, step back and don’t engage on their terms. Mars wants action. Pluto calls for change. Together, they aren’t going to let you off the hook or let anything slide.
This isn’t an easy day, but it can be a clear one. What comes up is likely overdue. Handle it directly. Then move on.
- What power dynamic needs to be acknowledged, not avoided?
- Where are you pushing too hard, and what’s driving that pressure?
- Are you acting from clarity or from reaction?

STAY FOCUSED: Thursday, September 25, 2025
The Moon continues through Scorpio today, holding the emotional tone deep and steady. This is not a day with a light mood. Scorpio sharpens our attention as it strips away distraction and welcomes us into the deepest layers of our emotions. You may feel less inclined to explain yourself and more focused on getting directly to the point. Privacy matters more than usual during this time as well. Make sure you are clear about your motivations and that your actions are supported by clear intentions and integrity. Emotions run high. This is a good day to confront anything you’ve been avoiding or dig into a project that needs sustained focus.
- What task or issue needs your full attention right now?
- Are you avoiding anything that would be better handled head-on?
- What emotional reaction might be covering something hidden?

EMOTIONS LIGHTEN: Friday, September 26, 2025
The Moon stays in Scorpio for most of the day, keeping your emotions focused on depth. You are still feeling a pull toward privacy and personal control. This is a good day to address anything that feels unsettled on the other side of last Sunday’s solar eclipse. Keep your integrity and intentions clear as you confront any issues directly and without drama.
At 5:37 pm EDT, the Moon enters Sagittarius, lightening the tone and lifting our mood just in time for the weekend. Watch as your perspective widens, and tension begins to release. After the pressure of the past few days, this shift invites humor and exploration.
Treat today as a turning point. Handle what’s still asking for attention, then step back and plan for a more light-hearted weekend. A road trip would be the best plan.
- What still needs to be resolved before you move on?
- How can you end the week with more lightness and perspective?
- What will you do this weekend?

EXPAND PERSPECTIVE: Saturday, September 27, 2025
The Moon remains in Sagittarius throughout the entire weekend, elevating energy and broadening perspective. After a rather heavy week, this provides a welcome break with a lighter tone. This is a great weekend for new ideas and different routines. I reiterate the recommendation for a road trip with a friend. Allow your mind to expand and stretch, see different vistas. Visit a museum, go for a hike.
When the moon travels through Sagittarius, we seek personal freedom and demand honesty from ourselves and others. If you’ve been stuck in a rut or a loop, this weekend offers a chance to move beyond it. Say what needs to be said, travel the longer way home, and find something to laugh about.
- Where do you need more room to move or breathe?
- What are you finally ready to put into a perspective that reveals the humor beneath the tragedy?
- Where can you go or what can you do today to open to a broader perspective?

JOURNEY WITHOUT DESTINATION: Sunday, September 28, 2025
As we come to the end of the weekend, the Moon continues through Sagittarius, keeping the pace open and focused on a far distant view. Toss out any ideas of a tight schedule or serious efforts. Keep freedom at the forefront of your plans. If your life has been overly structured or you’ve let yourself become overcommitted, this is a good time for a reset.
Look for flexibility and follow curiosity. A change in scenery offers the ability to shift your emotional tone. Don’t put limits on your explorations today. Look outside of yourself to the bigger picture. Step back from your life to find perspective. Let the entire day stretch out before you. Think of the day as a journey without a destination.
- What journey can you take today?
- What part of your life do you need to look at from a different angle?
- Have you been trying to control something that simply needs a new perspective?
