The Astrology for September 21 - 28

The astrological landscape of this week is potent.  Very potent. 

 

We begin the week with a second Virgo new moon and another 29-day cycle where we get our Virgo sensibilities on.    This new moon also is loaded with power since it is a solar (partial) eclipse.   Like an usher at a theater during intermission, the lights turn on and off to get our attention.   Please read my new moon report on this second potent Virgo New Moon and outer planetary aspects for deeper analysis.  

 

On the 22^nd Mars enters Scorpio and gets into it with all the outer planets via quincunxes galore.   This is rough. 

 

Additionally, on the 22^nd we change seasons at the equinox when the Sun enters Libra.    

 

The Sun now in THE sign of negotiations opposes Neptune which is THE sign of confusion.    Something is off and the Sun knows it, but it is hard to negotiate with the nebulous.   However, the Sun is getting support from brilliant and iconoclastic Uranus along with support from powerful and evolutionary Pluto who also rules the masses.     

 

This is a potential salve which we may need because Mars in Scorpio forms a square with Pluto on September 24^th.   Mars digs Scorpio since it is one of its home signs and it is feeling its potency.   The Moon is in Scorpio giving Mars more emotional potency as it heads for a square with Pluto.   A Mars square Pluto is a regular event (every six and 18 months) but this is the first square in Scorpio since Pluto moved in Aquarius.  Intense actions and powerful drives that are conflicted will be in the news.   Technology (Aquarius) could be pronounced along with themes that speak to societal ‘norms’ and ideologies.    Mars isn’t a subtle planet who gets lost in nuances and this whole sequence seems wired to explode or at the very least get our attention where we ask some big questions. 

 

All this planetary action takes place in the 3.5 days of the New Moon phase.   On the 25^th we move into Crescent Phase where we get informed.  The phase is Scorpio themed so there is a lot of information.  Knowledge will come forward on how we find power.   Where we co-mingle our resources and how we let go to transform.     There are no inner planet outer planet aspects during Crescent phase and frankly that is a good thing.  We may need the break as we process alll that planetary action from the new phase. 

 

 

 

Virgo New Moon 

September 21, 2025

(29 Virgo 05)

 

 

New moon: Plant seeds, make calls, activate, start projects.   Activate something that will ideally lead you to more results.  This is the phase where INTENT is critical.  Even if the results are not immediate, the intent is there.  You may not have all the answers or road map, but you should put out your Intent.

 

This focus:    Make the most of your schedule.  Make the most of every hour.   How does your calendar reflect your goals?   How can you clean up any messes?   What doctor do you need to see?   What resume needs to be tidied up?    What details have needed a tune up all year?    We get another month to take care of loose ends.   Make an effort to Serve others and serve you.  

 

Planetary notes:

9/22: Mars enters Scorpio.  Depth of feelings can motivate a lot of intense actions for six weeks.  

9/22: Sun enters Libra.  Happy Equinox. 

9/23: Sun oppose Neptune (00 Aries 45) (see new moon report) 

9/23: Sun trine Uranus (1 Gemini 19) (see new moon report) 

9/23: Sun trine Pluto (1 Aquarius 27) (see new moon report) 

9/24: Mars square Pluto (1 Aquarius 27) (see Mars post) 

 

Crescent Moon Phase

Sept 25, 2025

2:26pm PDT   

 

 

Crescent:  We will receive information, we will research a bit more, perhaps get feedback on stuff that we planted on new.  Perhaps get some information that will help down the road on a seed we planted a while ago.  We can collect some data now.  Even if you think you are not getting information, stop, and re-look at everything.  Who called you?  Even the silliest things when they come up during Crescent are noteworthy.  A parking ticket.  An argument with a spouse?  A refund check from the phone company?  No matter how mundane it arrives, consider it as message.  How can this information help you?

 

Focus on: What are you learning about co-mingling?  What are you learning about joint finances?   How are you being informed about power?  What are you learning about sex?   What are you learning about the power of evolution?  How are you getting informed about death and rebirth?
