Willing to Embrace Your “Flaws”? 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains out of bounds all week; Jupiter remains in a harmonious connection to the Moon Nodes; Uranus ends its Station phase Monday night, but remains retrograde in Gemini. Mercury aligns with the upcoming Solar Eclipse degree early Wednesday evening, and then changes signs from Virgo to Libra early on Thursday; Venus also changes signs, moving from Leo to Virgo on Friday morning; there will be a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Virgo — in an exalted degree — that will take place on Sunday afternoon, 22 hours before the Autumn Equinox.

There are lots of planetary aspects on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday — so buckle up, it’s going to be a big week!

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over 2 hours), Friday morning (for 2 minutes), and Sunday afternoon (for almost 2 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

There will be another Star Hour on Saturday!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 15th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Tuesday night (Sept.16th). With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key until Tuesday night!

Monday, Uranus resumes its typical pace through the sky, ending its station (remaining in its retrograde motion in Gemini).

What has come up in the last 3.5 weeks concerning radical changes in your thinking? Or around what needs to change about your thinking regarding the future? Or relating to freedom in your day-to-day interactions?

How are you doing with honoring your individuality or idiosyncrasies? The Retrograde phase is an excellent time to do some internal work in this area (retrograde ends Feb. 3rd, 2026).

Monday late evening, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 11:04pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday morning (Sept. 12th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday, late morning (Sept. 19th).

This aspect helps our one-on-one relationships, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them — and if we’re not in a long-term committed relationship, we’ll get some help in connecting with others — online or in person.

This could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general.

Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us; we have to make them happen.

Ask yourself: What collaborations might lead to a valuable experience, authentic connection, or joyful interaction?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or any personal planets in 23-28 degrees of Leo, Libra, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 3:50am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from today (Monday) late morning on; it will remain strong until Tuesday night.

This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.

Ask yourself: What have I been avoiding or rejecting about myself? Where have I been trying to “fix” myself? What might a compassionate inner dialogue and self-acceptance do for me?

This boils down to feeling “stumped” — we feel like we can’t get our head around things or make decisions.

As best as you can, be kind and compassionate to yourself. Ask yourself: Could I hang out with the inner discomfort this is stirring up, just for right now?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-27 degrees of Virgo or Aries? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)

September 8th – 14th

by Sonja Francis | Sep 7, 2025 | Astrological Forecasts

Each of Us Creates a Ripple 

This week’s headline items: Uranus remains exalted, Pluto remains “Out of Bounds”, and Jupiter continues to trine the North Node in Pisces all week. Mercury opposes the Lunar Eclipse degree on Wednesday morning; the Sun aligns with the South Node in Virgo on Wednesday afternoon, Mercury will follow suit on Thursday late evening; the last Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Sunday morning. And yes, we are still in Eclipse Season!

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday afternoon (for almost 1 hour), Wednesday very early morning (for 13 hours), Friday afternoon (for a little over 1 hour), and Sunday evening (for almost 2 hours)

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

There will be another Star Hour next week Saturday!

This is a FREE Livestream event about current events.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 8th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 2:37pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than usual.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all, especially those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

We are still within the 48 hour period of the Lunar Eclipse that was exact yesterday afternoon. So, take it easy and allow for lots of rest and down-time if possible.

We also talked about the Eclipses in my latest webinar: “Connecting Mind & Heart”. To get and watch this beautiful webinar, click here!

Monday at 1:44pm EDT, we enter a short Moon VoC that will last for almost 1 hour, until 2:37pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term goals connected to spiritual or creative endeavors.

You are ready to practice and take some responsibility for your intuitive and imaginative gifts, as well as your ability to be in tune with everything around you.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon ahead of time.

Monday at 2:37pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act promptly. Our independence and dynamism are important to us, so we may struggle to be disciplined or accept advice.

In general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Mars, the ruler of Aries is currently in Libra. This makes the next two days a great time to examine collaborations and how we come across in one-on-one relationships.

We may feel more energized when engaged in projects that involve others’ input. We may seek a more balanced approach to doing things.

Given all this, it’s vital to pursue our personal goals and channel our energy into relationships that provide a sense of equality and a balanced masculine-feminine experience.

Ask yourself: What simple action would move me one step closer to better relationships and collaborations? How can I lead without domination? How could I find a balanced way to express my feminine and masculine energies?

Accepting Our Idiosyncrasies 

This week’s headline items: we are still in Eclipse Season; Uranus remains exalted all week; Saturn re-enters Pisces early on Monday morning, and will remain in an exalted degree all week; Mercury changes signs from Leo to Virgo late Tuesday morning; Jupiter remains in a harmonious aspect with the North Node all week, exact on Wednesday; Mars squares Jupiter all week, exact on Thursday; Friday night/early Saturday, Uranus comes to a halt in Gemini, starting its yearly Retrograde phase.

But the most important event of this week is a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (aka Blood Moon), which will be exact on Sunday afternoon.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late evening (for 6 minutes), Thursday early morning (for 24 minutes), and Friday afternoon (for 19 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, September 1st: 

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 9:45pm EDT. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn.

We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best for us at this time — and we’re also physically restless, so we must burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — and we also have a high degree of independence. Taking these two influences together, we’d rather inspire others to do things our way than issue or obey orders.

Inspiring others could come more easily than usual, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.

Improvisation works well for us today, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just be mindful that you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.

Monday at 4:07am EDT, Saturn changes signs from fast-paced, enthusiastic, and active Aries back into creative, intuitive, and sensitive Pisces until Feb. 13th, 2026.

In other words, Saturn re-enters Pisces for the next 5.5 months before its long-term stay in Aries until April 2028. 

Think back to the period between March 2023 and late May 2025 — when Saturn journeyed through Pisces: Where have you gained mastery regarding your spiritual connection to life? Or the building of healthy foundations for rest, self-trust, and inner reflection?

What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus during that time? Where did you have to make a commitment to yourself (and have patience)?

What did you gain in maturity or expertise because you made an effort to tune in and slow down, whatever the external “noise”?

Due to Saturn’s current retrograde movement (it lasts until the end of November), we are connecting to the energies of this “Cosmic Teacher” from within.

As best as you can, process what occurred when Saturn moved through Pisces (this began in March 2023) — especially the period between Jan. 7th and May 25th, 2025.

Saturn will be in 29º of Pisces until Sept. 14th — an exalted degree. This refers us back to when Saturn was last there, between May 12th – 24th, 2025, before the start of its current Retrograde phase.

What messages do you remember receiving from this cosmic teacher? Did you feel called to be more aware of your sensitivities? Did you feel drawn to calm and inner peace? Were you able to tune in and trust your Soul’s guidance?

What remains to be done? What if you were 5% more serious and committed to your spiritual practices over the next two weeks?

Saturn feels a bit like a fish out of water in Pisces, but it invites us to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, One-Consciousness, etc. This transit could also teach us that healthy boundaries and integrity can help us manifest our dreams.

Saturn in Pisces also reminds us that before we can manifest our dreams, we must look at our relationship to our higher Self, universal love, compassion, intuition, and forgiveness. We must develop spiritual sovereignty.

It asks us to take responsibility for our connection to the spiritual realm. This means turning a critical eye to what we allow in and reject — and taking a more compassionate, kinder approach towards ourselves and others.

We are invited, individually and collectively, to clarify and acknowledge our interconnectivity with all of life — with all living beings.

Saturn in Pisces also reminds us that in order to… To read the whole article, click here

All this is especially true if you are a Capricorn or Pisces Sun- or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your dreams — and your spiritual sovereignty. As a Pisces, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious, and mature, in the next 5.5 months.

Monday at 9:39pm EDT, we enter a​ very brief Moon VoC that will last for 6 minutes, until 9:45pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to stretch and grow. Your commitment to spiritual self-mastery, towards being in the present moment, calls you to make some adjustments with the outer world.

Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to connecting to my intuitive knowing?

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Monday at 9:45pm EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, realistic, and goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until ​Thursday ​morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.

Our reputation will become very important to us. As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces, making this a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?

What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?

What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?

What Is Your Best Path Forward? 

This week’s headline items: we are now in Eclipse Season; Uranus remains exalted all week; Mercury’s post-retrograde Shadow ends early Monday morning; we have lots of Venus aspects earlier in the week; it’s time to act on our New Moon intentions from Thursday morning on; on Sunday, the first Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact, and Uranus’ station intensifies.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for 15 minutes), Tuesday late evening (for almost 23.5 hours), and Friday evening (for almost 13.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, two gentle reminders…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, August 25th: 

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 10:08am EDT. Until then, our focus tis still on the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time and services and love to help others.

We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our daily world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Monday until 2:07am EDT, we can still set our New Moon Intentions during the best and most potent time! If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — to (re-) watch my New Moon video: click here.

Monday around 5:15am EDT, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase ends (at 15º37′ of Leo). We no longer need to look back in order to learn or share something new, buy or sell something different, or make new connections.

As you may recall, on Aug. 11th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned the Mercury Shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.

This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)

The good news is this Shadow phase ends early this morning when Mercury reaches 15º36′ of Leo. This means we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets — or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related).

We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing, and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.

Monday at 9:53am EDT, we enter a brief Moon VoC  that lasts for 15 minutes until 10:08am EDT. Take the opportunity to get organized, improve daily routines, and increase your awareness of how those activities fit with your values.

It could also be a chance to reconnect with family and loved ones in a nurturing way, from the heart — while being mindful of what works and what doesn’t for you.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Monday at 10:08am EDT, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

These next 2.5 days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No.”

One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts!

Monday at 12:27pm EDT, Venus changes signs from sensitive, protective Cancer to fun-loving, extroverted Leo, where it will journey until Sept. 19th. Venus in Leo changes how we “do” relationships.

We’re “in love with love”, so we especially appreciate (and are turned on by) gestures of love and romance. It goes the other way, too: we are warm, affectionate, and loyal to those we love and cherish (as long as they show us that they deserve our love).

Grand gestures of love and exciting, tantalizing interactions work best. Lavish everyone with compliments (including yourself). We also want to have fun and express our love for life.

And what better way is there to do that than to throw a huge party for everyone we love? And if a “huge party” doesn’t appeal, don’t opt for the couch and the TV: get out there. It’s an excellent time to take a chance!

“Taking a chance” applies to the financial realm, especially any ventures related to entertainment, children, sports, or the stock market.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel more outgoing and confident for the period Venus moves through Leo. Your heart will want to connect and be admired.

Creative endeavors will feel satisfying to you. If you are a Leo Sun-sign or Rising sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday late evening, a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 8:56pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday noon (Aug. 23rd) on; it will remain strong until Thursday early morning (Aug. 28th). This signals a time when we don’t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to “casual”.

Ask yourself: What long-term connections are possible at this time? What feels “right” to me? Are there any personal connections that need strengthening or refreshing? How might mutual respect and loyalty be of support?

We feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others.

We bring more maturity, respect, and integrity to our interactions — and this is a good time to approach mature or, independent people for their input.

In the same spirit, reevaluating our goals and doing our self-development “work” brings greater mastery over who we are and what we do.

This process doesn’t have to be “solemn”, so ask yourself: Who might welcome a heart-centered dialogue (or creative collaboration) that is inspirational and long-lasting? What if we expressed ourselves freely while respecting each other’s boundaries?

If my heart had a voice of its own and could talk out loud, what might it say about me being myself and walking my path with maturity and integrity? What would a courageous leader and authority figure have to say on the subject? (Think of a specific person for this question.)

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-4 degrees of Leo, Aries, Sagittarius, or 27-29 degrees of Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio? If so, you will be blessed by this aspect more than others.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)
