Welcome to eclipse season 2025! Get your ginger tea and grounding crystals at the ready, because things are about to shift in a big way. With the south node rumbling through health-conscious Virgo, this is the time to release anything sticky and toxic from your day to day habits and lifestyle.
At the same time, Saturn makes its return to Pisces this month, which is big news. This is where structure meets surrender, discipline meets flow. Saturn in Pisces asks you to create soulful boundaries, honour your energy, and build a life that isn’t just efficient but truly aligned with your spirit.
If Virgo is helping you declutter the physical, Saturn in Pisces is teaching you to streamline the spiritual.
September is a cosmic clean-up. Don’t be surprised if the universe highlights what no longer serves you, nudging you toward healthier patterns and more compassionate self-discipline.
Think of it as an energetic purge followed by a deep inhale of fresh air, making space for the kind of clarity and commitment that carries you into eclipse season with grace.

The September Ivory Gloss box features Larimar orgone for the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces, and Arfvedsonite for the Virgo new moon solar eclipse.
THE MOONS OF SEPTEMBER
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, 7th September, Pisces, 7.09pm
New Moon Solar Eclipse, 21st September, Virgo, 8.54pm
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, 7th September, Pisces, 7.09pm
Crystal: Larimar orgone pendant
Meditation: Tide turn bowl
Imagine yourself floating in still water. Let your thoughts slow. Ask yourself, what am I still energetically subscribed to that no longer supports me? Breathe deeply as you allow these habits to float past you. When you have finished, write down five daily habits that lower your energy, and then add a small upgrade beside each one.
Finally, place the paper in a bowl of water. Stir and say: I let this go so something wiser can take its place.
Let the tide turn.
New Moon Solar Eclipse, 21st September, Virgo, 8.54pm
Crystal: Arfvedsonite
Meditation: Rewrite the script
Write down any beliefs you know you have outgrown but still seem to carry with you.
Choose one, and as you meditate, visualise a single cord connecting to it. Imagine cutting this cord and letting it drift away as it dissolves into the distance, no longer part of your energy field.
When you have finished, write a new version of your story that aligns with the life you're ready to call in. Keep the new list visible until the next full moon.
Burn the old list safely.
THE ASTROLOGICAL ENERGIES OF SEPTEMBER 2025
Eclipse Season
Eclipse season 2025 on the Virgo–Pisces axis highlights the dance between control and surrender. With the South Node in Virgo, it’s time to release perfectionism, overthinking, and the exhausting urge to prove your worth by doing more.
Opposite, the North Node in Pisces invites you to soften, trust your intuition, and open to the unseen currents guiding you forward.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces reinforces patience and discipline, while Neptune retrograde dissolves illusions and clears space for truth. Jupiter in Cancer provides emotional nourishment, reminding you that growth happens when you feel safe enough to let go.
This season is about clearing clutter, protecting your energy and allowing the next version of you to quietly emerge.
Saturn returns to Pisces
The month opens with Saturn returning to Pisces on the 1st which is hugely significant. The planet of time and karma reversing offer the liminal point of the whole zodiac wheel. From fresh new beginnings to the old soul vibe of the final degree of the zodiac.
Mercury enters Virgo
With eclipse season in full swing and the South Node working its release magic in Virgo, Mercury’s arrival here means the mind also needs a detox.
This is where mental clutter gets swept away the endless to-do lists, self-criticism, and noisy thought loops that keep you spinning. Mercury in Virgo is precision thinking: a chance to sharpen your focus, choose words that heal and create space for ideas that actually serve your highest good.
Uranus retrograde in Gemini, ready to return to Taurus for the rest of the year
We’ve had our first experience of Uranus in Gemini, now Uranus is retracing his steps at the early degrees of this sign before returning to Taurus for a brief dip, giving you space to review what’s shifted in your perspective.
This retrograde is less about rushing forward and more about integration, catching the insights that sparked in Gemini and grounding them in Taurus so they can actually stick.
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
This Pisces eclipse invites you to dissolve boundaries and open to something bigger even if it feels surreal, unclear, or a little unhinged at first.
Eclipses tied to the North Node bring acceleration, nudging or shoving us toward the future. In Pisces, the path isn’t mapped out with logic, it flows through intuition, symbols, dreams, and subtle inner knowing.
This is about feeling your way forward, letting control loosen, and trusting that clarity will come in its own divine timing.
With Saturn retrograde in Pisces adding a note of spiritual responsibility and Jupiter in Cancer forming a supportive trine, you’re not drifting aimlessly. You’re being held while your next chapter quietly unfolds.
Pay attention to whispers, nudges, or unexpected waves of emotion, they’re the signposts pointing you where you need to go.

Mercury into Libra
On the 18th Mercury will join Mars in Libra, so relationships are receiving our full mental attention. This isn’t just about romance, it’s about every connection that reflects you back to yourself.
Expect conversations to carry more weight, decisions to feel like they ripple across two lives instead of one, and a reminder that harmony comes from balance, not self-sacrifice.
Venus into Virgo
With the South Node already in Virgo, Venus’s arrival here on the 23rd signals a love + pleasure detox. This isn’t the flirty Venus in Leo vibe we’ve just had, Virgo Venus wants refinement, discernment, and a good clean-up of anything messy in love, money, or self-worth. Think less grand gestures and more does this actually serve me, body and soul?
With the South Node amplifying release, this transit helps you let go of relationships, desires, or patterns that feel draining. Venus in Virgo asks us to bring love down to earth, practical, intentional, and aligned with what truly supports our wellbeing.
As with all eclipses, this isn’t a small shift it’s an acceleration point. Virgo reminds us that the details matter, but only if they serve the bigger picture. This is the universe hitting refresh on your systems, asking you to choose clarity over clutter, intention over busywork, and presence over perfection.
With Saturn and Neptune retrograding in Pisces opposite this lunation, there’s a tug-of-war between organisation and surrender.
Lean into grounded rituals whether that’s journaling, decluttering, or simply giving your nervous system space to breathe — while remembering that not everything can be controlled.
The takeaway: this eclipse is your invitation to simplify, streamline, and create space for a future that feels lighter and more aligned.

Mars into Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius
Mars dives into Scorpio on the 22nd, turning the heat up on desire, drive, and truth-seeking.
By the 24th, a square to Pluto in Aquarius brings tension think power struggles, hidden motives, or sudden clashes. It’s intense, but also transformative. Act with focus, not force, and you’ll channel this energy into breakthroughs instead of battles.
Libra Season
Shortly after Mars enters Scorpio, Libra Season begins. This year we have the sun create a kite with those outer planets, as the sun trines both Pluto and Uranus, and forms an opposition to Neptune and Saturn.
The Sun in Libra forms a kite with the outer planets trining Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, while opposing Neptune and Saturn in Pisces. Translation? Balance isn’t business as usual.
This is the kind of astrology that shakes up relationships, rewrites dynamics, and makes you reconsider what harmony actually means. It’s not about keeping the peace at any cost, it’s about facing where things are uneven, where illusions blur the truth, and where growth demands a little disruption.
Expect flashes of clarity around your connections, whether romantic, professional, or social. Some will deepen, some may shift, and all will reveal something important about what you value. Libra season asks you to bring beauty and fairness into your life, but also to hold your ground when the scales tip too far.
Balance is the goal, but this time, it comes with power.
