Walking through the threshold

This is not an ordinary month and there is no doubt we are standing at a powerful threshold, and if you’re feeling it deeply in your bones or caught in waves of emotion that rise without warning, you’re not imagining things. The heavens are telling a story, and that story is one of endings and rebirth, grief and hope, closure and new beginnings. The energy this month is charged not in a dramatic, performative way, but in a profound, quietly transformational way. You are being asked to decide, gently but firmly, what still has a place in your life and what must now be released. Therefore, the opportunity that September brings is a kind of spiritual maintenance and not just in your outer world, this is internal, soul-level work, it is sacred and you are being thoroughly supported by the energies of the month.

Cycles Conclude, New Worlds Emerge

With Saturn and Neptune both dipping back into Pisces after testing the waters of Aries we are collectively reviewing the structures we’ve built around our dreams. Think of it as the elders of time and spirit returning to the ocean of consciousness, bringing back what they’ve learned, asking us what we’re ready to dissolve and what we truly want to anchor. These two won’t meet in exact conjunction until February 2026, but this month begins the final preparation. Saturn wants form, Neptune wants soul, together, they are preparing a sacred contract, with you. In many ways, this is the final act before the curtain rises on a brand-new play but it is not theatre for the sake of performance, this is about what truly matters and it starts with you being honest about what no longer serves your evolution.

where have you been trying to fix, perfect, or manage what should have simply been let go?

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces – September 7th

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse on the 7th is deeply emotional, it is near the North Node, making it not just a release, but a karmic turning point, a clearing of emotional debris to make space for deeper intuition and spiritual growth. You may feel heightened sensitivity, tears, or a longing for something intangible, let it move through you, if it is flowing through you and not getting stuck it will work through your chakra’s as they are your tools that process the big heavy energies. With the Sun in Virgo near the South Node, this eclipse brings a stark and necessary awareness: where have you been trying to fix, perfect, or manage what should have simply been let go? The healing energy now is Piscean and it needs to come through forgiveness, compassion, and surrender, this is not a passive energy but it is powerful.

Uranus Retrograde – Disrupting the Pattern

Just before the eclipse, on the 6th, Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, that brings a buzz of nervous tension, disruption, insight, and reconfiguration, particularly in the realm of thought, technology, learning, and communication. Its possible that you may receive a wild idea or sudden truth that rewires your inner circuitry, don’t dismiss it, I doubt if you could. This is another reminder that the mind is changing, your perception is changing, the world is changing and how you use your attention is part of what creates the new paradigm. Be conscious where you place your focus.

Mercury Cazimi – September 13th

Mid-month, Mercury will sit in the heart of the Sun in Virgo being refreshed and energised, this is clarity it is not a whisper, it will be as clear as a bell, like a lightbulb being switched on. Expect insight around your routines, health, mental patterns, or practical affairs, you might have a breakthrough about what you need to do differently not to fix your life, but to truly support it. There is intelligence here not just mental, but spiritual intelligence, especially for those with natal Neptune in Virgo. It’s like the fog lifts, and you see what really needs organising, what deserves your time, and what was simply noise.

Venus: From Radiance to Healing

Venus travels through Leo until the 20th, then shifts into Virgo. While in Leo, she is radiant not because she’s trying to impress, but because she is unapologetically herself. This is a time to remember your worth, not based on productivity, but on presence, Venus in Leo reminds you that your light doesn’t need permission to shine. Once she moves into Virgo, she becomes the healer, the helper, the wise one who knows that love is found in the details. It’s the small acts of care that matter now, for others yes of course, but especially for yourself. Let this be a time where love is not earned but lived, be careful not to fall back into patterns of overgiving or trying to fix others, you are not here to rescue the world by losing yourself. Of course you are allowed to shine but now it is time to ask yourself what are you going to do with that light?

a final clearing of the ground before new seeds are sown, you may feel a strong desire to change your routines, cleanse your home, your diet, your thoughts

Solar Eclipse – September 21st

The final eclipse of the year is a solar one at the very last degree of Virgo, aligned with the South Node. This is a firm, cosmic ending, the closing of a karmic contract, a releasing of habits, identities, and structures that are no longer aligned with the soul. Think of it as a final clearing of the ground before new seeds are sown, you may feel a strong desire to change your routines, cleanse your home, your diet, your thoughts or perhaps it’s going to be more subtle, like a quiet certainty that something is finished.

Equinox – September 22nd

And then, the equinox. A sacred pause. A balance point. This is the moment of equal light and dark, a perfect time to reflect on where you stand. Libra season begins, bringing the energy of relating, harmonising, and making connections. It’s a good time to start something new but only if it’s rooted in your truth.

Mars enters Scorpio on this same day, giving you the courage to commit deeply to what matters most. This is warrior energy, not aggressive, but focused and unflinching. It’s time to do the thing. Hug the monster. Face what you’ve been avoiding, strength is not bravado, it is inner alignment.

Water Trine – Healing and Intuition

September also brings a deeply supportive water trine with Jupiter in Cancer harmonising with Saturn in Pisces and possibly other players in Scorpio. This is a balm, a healing flow. It helps you remember who you are when you feel safe, when you’re supported, when you're surrounded by your true tribe. Jupiter in Cancer also encourages gratitude, connection, and faith in the good things that still exist no matter what the headlines say. If you are dealing with home or family themes, or thinking about your roots or where you belong, this energy can help you feel held.

This Is Sacred Work

There’s grief in this time, yes. You may feel it in your body, in your bones, in the memories that rise unexpectedly. You may also feel strange moments of peace, beauty, or love as if the future is whispering its promise into your heart.

This is soul work, this is personal, this is not about fixing the world out there but it is about preparing your inner temple for the new you that is evolving. There is a kind of energetic detox happening, like the pink granite threshold of the Temple of Hathor in Egypt, the energy now is scanning you, showing you what needs healing so you can cross into the next version of yourself.

Be mindful of what you consume not just food, but news, energy, environments, people, it is so important to choose your influences wisely at the moment. The world is loud and polarised, but the wisdom of this month is found in quiet places, in the garden, in your morning walk, in dreams, in your very breath.

Final Thoughts

You are not alone; the cosmos is whispering the recipe for your next chapter. Listen. Trust.

This is the month to review, reorganise, and realign, not for the sake of perfection but to feel free and more importantly, to free your mind from the clutter. You are being invited to live with more clarity, more purpose, and more heart. Not to get it all right, but to come home to yourself and from that place, to begin creating the world you want to live in. You are not alone; the cosmos is whispering the recipe for your next chapter. Listen. Trust.

Now, take the next step, may the Goddess Hathor be with you.

NB: Hathor is the Egyptian Goddess of joy, music and dance as well as sensuality and birth, The Greeks called her Aphrodite, the Romans called her Venus
