Overview
This episode of the Golden Astrologer podcast reviews significant astrological events occurring during the first week of September 2025, focusing on Saturn and Neptune moving retrograde, Uranus stationing retrograde, and an upcoming lunar eclipse in Pisces. Listeners are advised on the personal and collective implications of these events and given suggestions for managing the energetic intensity.
Saturn and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces
- Saturn re-enters Pisces on September 1, 2025, marking a period for deep review and completion of cycles from the past 29 years.
- Neptune continues its retrograde back into late Pisces, emphasizing subconscious themes and long-term closures.
- Listeners are encouraged to reflect on lessons since March 2023 and identify what needs to be released before new beginnings.
- This transition signals the end of major astrological cycles and invites letting go of what no longer serves.
Void Moon and Changes in Lunar Patterns
- Recent months have seen long periods of void-of-course moon due to planetary positions at early degrees of new signs.
- As Saturn moves back into late Pisces, void moon periods will temporarily become shorter.
- The void period symbolizes liminal space and encourages introspection and rest.
Uranus Retrograde and Upcoming Eclipse
- Uranus stations retrograde on September 6, 2025, creating unpredictable and potentially disruptive energies.
- The lunar eclipse in Pisces occurs on September 7, 2025, at 2:09 p.m. Eastern, with significant involvement from Uranus and Pluto.
- Pluto at early Aquarius forms a semisquare aspect to the eclipse, signifying deep, transformative undercurrents.
- Jupiter trines the eclipse, providing supportive energy for faith and fulfillment.
Eclipse Themes and Relationship Dynamics
- This eclipse emphasizes the polarity between releasing control (Virgo South Node) and embracing faith (Pisces North Node).
- Venus and Mars form a yod (“finger of God”) configuration with the eclipse, heightening relationship and creative themes.
- Emotional intensity is expected, with subconscious beliefs and relationship issues likely to surface.
Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter Movements
- Mercury enters Virgo on September 2, 2025, increasing mental clarity and speed of communication.
- Mars in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer on September 4, 2025, possibly triggering temper flares and challenges to balance.
- Listeners are cautioned to manage triggers and cultivate self-awareness during stressful interactions.
Self-Care and Guidance for the Eclipse
- Set intentions and rituals to anchor the energy of the eclipse, especially focusing on new directions and trust.
- Avoid beginning new projects during the eclipse corridor (September 7–21, 2025) to allow time for integration and reflection.
- Allow space for emotional processing, support personal boundaries, and seek insight into subconscious patterns.
- Overextension, both physically and emotionally, should be avoided during this intense period.
