9/1 Saturn Rx return to Pisces
On Monday, Saturn returned to Pisces to attend to unfinished business with regard to adding some structure to and boundaries around all things free-flowing and formless. Think: spirituality, the mind, dreams, the subconscious, the unconscious, the end of a transition before another phase begins, psychology, the desire to escape, addiction, imagination, things felt but not seen. Y’know. Those sorts of things.
Saturn will remain in Pisces until February 13, 2026. During that time, these two seemingly opposing forces have the opportunity to blend together to help us move through the Pisces ruled themes of our lives and areas of our charts with a little more structure and grounding. Saturn also has a tendency to want to corporatize and create hierarchies, which can clash with the more nebulous Piscean themes.
9/2 Mercury enters Virgo by sign and rising sign
Mercury in its exalted home sign of Virgo cuts through the mess and gets right to the details. Receipts may come due around this time, and Mercury is here to make sure they all get paid while also ticking every item off of your to-do list.
Here’s how this transit might unfold for you:
Aries/Aries Rising
If you’ve skipped out on your checkups or workout routines, Mercury in Virgo is here to help you breakdown and rebuild your weekly schedule into something more manageable. You may also become the communications hub at work during this time.
Taurus/Taurus Rising
Do you have creative projects you’ve been trying to squeeze in. If so, Mercury in Virgo will help you get your schedule in order and prioritize fun. This is a time when your social calendar can really pick up, and you could be come more of a flirt than normal.
Gemini/Gemini Rising
Your fourth house of home and family buzzes with activity during this time. Instead of spring cleaning, you may find yourself heading into fall wrapping up all those household DIY project that have been on the back burner.
Cancer/Cancer Rising
The task of community communications director tends to fall on your shoulders around this time. You’re organizing not just for yourself but for everyone in your many social groups. Short trips could keep you occupied. This is also an excellent time for written projects: journaling, poetry, novels, emails. Mercury can help you get them all going.
Leo/Leo Rising
Time to take a look at your budget going into the rest of the year. Mercury transiting your second house of finances, value, and personal resources will help make sure you don’t “accidentally” skip over any of those expenses that need to be tracked. Mercury in Virgo can help you stay grounded when really considering what’s most valuable to you.
Virgo/Virgo Rising
Your planet in your sign puts you front and center when it comes to communications. Whatever you have to say (or write), people will listen. Your natural sense of details is heightened during this time. No email shall go un-proofread, and no speech shall go un-articulated. You’ve got the megaphone for a few weeks.
Libra/Libra Rising
Feel free to schedule an extra therapy appointment. Mercury in your twelfth house of psychology and dreams could lead to some breakthroughs. Write your dreams down. Journal about all the things you wish to escape from. Let your subconscious do the work that has been stumping you consciously.
Scorpio/Scorpio Rising
What are your plans for the future? Write them down, and don’t leave out any details. This transit can also have you connecting with higher-ups. Schmoozing could suddenly feel very natural to you.
Sagittarius/Sagittarius Rising
If you’re considering a career switch or a promotion, now is a great time to polish your LinkedIn profile and connect with the people who can make a difference. You could also find that you are that person for others. Avoid burnout by taking breaks if your work schedule starts to get packed. Remember your health comes first.
Capricorn/Capricorn Rising
Now is a great time to make vacation plans. You could score some great deals while Mercury is in Virgo, helping you to shop around and compare flights and lodgings and excursions.
Aquarius/Aquarius Rising
How are your investments and savings looking? Mercury in Virgo transiting your eighth house of shared resources and transformations could have you taking a closer look at the details of your Robinhood account. Talking to a financial advisor could be transformative during this time.
Pisces/Pisces Rising
You and a partner might schedule a lot of together time, or you could just be in the mood for someone to chit-chat with. You might also find yourself becoming a caretaker for someone in need. Just remember there’s a fine line between being of service and being a doormat.
9/3 Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini
Communications get electric when Mercury squares Gemini. A little shock to the system could do us all some good, but it can also leave people feeling burned. Careful with your words today. Not every thought in your head needs to come out of your mouth. This could also be a moment of social media gut checks, a reminder of how important it is to get OFFline and to control our impulses when it comes to media.
9/4 Jupiter in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces
Something happening today feels destined. Jupiter is amplifying and expanding our Pisces North Node desire to feel unrestricted and free. These two very spiritual energies could have some of us feeling spiritual euphoria or deep connections to our ancestors. Lean into the compassion and nurturing of the moment and watch how small gestures of kindness can become waves of compassionate change.
9/4 Mars in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer
On Thursday, we’ve got Mars in Libra squaring off against Jupiter in Cancer. This is interesting because Jupiter is very strong in Cancer while Mars is in a weakened position. That doesn’t mean one planet outweighs the other, but it does make things a little more interesting.
Jupiter in Cancer wants to expand our families and our foundations. It wants to be big and bold with caretaking. It kind of wants to mother the whole world, but Mars is independence, and in Libra, it wants us to learn to be assertive with diplomacy. It wants us to maintain our individuality within partnerships, and it struggles to find balance in our relationships without losing our sense of identity.
When these two square each other, it feels a little like we have that quintessential mother figure who thinks they know what’s best while the other party is struggling to figure out who exactly they are and needs space and freedom to do so. But in this scenario, we’ve got the overbearing caretaker who may not realize it’s time to step back and let the other person handle their own problems.
These are also two very manipulative signs, so there can be a tendency to resort to emotional manipulation or superficial flattery in order to get what we want.
On the flip side, this could also give us jolt of courage and leadership, expanding our sense of diplomacy and balance in a way that feels compassionate and nurturing.
9/5 Uranus Rx in Gemini
Uranus begins its retrograde phase today until November 7th, when it will backtrack into Taurus until April 25, 2026 when it returns to Gemini and won’t be back in Taurus for about eighty-four years. Since it’s in Gemini for a while, we’re still getting a taste of what this transit is all about.
Uranus disrupts and innovates, so we’re going to be seeing disruptions in our communications, which almost feels like a never-ending theme at this time. We’re also seeing the rise of electric vehicles. There will likely be something that comes along and disrupts the way we use phones and consume media.
Gemini also rules puzzles, and the last time Uranus was in Gemini was in the 1940s, during WWII, and during that time, we saw a rise in covert communications and spying. Enigma machines and code-breaking became central to the war efforts, and now, we’re also seeing a rise in surveillance and people trying to find new ways to communicate without everyone finding out.
9/6 North Node in Pisces trine Lilith in Scorpio
Last up, our taboos and traumas become a part of our collective destiny when the North Node makes a trine to Black Moon Lilith. We’re all craving the release of shame around gender and pain, and this is a transit that wants us to take all of these things and embrace them. Let them heal us on a spiritual level.
