Crossroads of Truth & Surrender

31 AUGUST - 6 SEPTEMBER 2025

It’s a soul-deep September!

We step into September with the weight of the skies pressing against our skin, not as a burden but as a sacred reminder: things are changing, and they cannot stay the same.

The Virgo New Moon on August 23 opened the door into Eclipse Season, and already the air feels charged as though the Universe has tilted ever so slightly, and nothing is quite where it was before. You may feel it in your body, restless sleep, heightened emotions, strange surges of clarity, or waves of fatigue. You may sense it in your relationships, conversations going deeper than expected, or dynamics shifting in ways you didn’t see coming. You may notice in your daily life the desire to simplify, to clean house, to get your systems in order before the storm of change arrives.

This week, we begin to feel the pull of the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 7, the first of two powerful eclipses this month. Lunar eclipses bring release, endings, and emotional purging. This one in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, is not gentle. It dissolves illusions, strips away false attachments, and asks us to finally let go of the stories we’ve been clinging to out of fear.

And yet Virgo Season offers us a hand to hold. Virgo whispers, “Stay present. Tend to the details. Anchor into the small sacred things that keep you steady.” Virgo reminds us that change doesn’t have to sweep us away if we know how to root into simple, grounding practices. This is the beauty of Virgo’s energy: it doesn't fight the tides of Pisces, but creates the vessel we need to hold them.

The bigger picture here is profound. September 2025 is a month of detox and recalibration, personally and collectively. We are being asked to re-align with truth, integrity, and the kind of life that truly sustains our energy. If something is falling apart, it is not because you’ve failed; it's because the Universe is showing you what can no longer hold you. If something feels wobbly, it is not weakness; it's an invitation to step into greater strength and trust.

So, as this week unfolds, expect a pendulum swing: moments of unexpected joy and breakthroughs, followed by reality checks, then the tender fog of uncertainty, all leading to the deep emotional release of the Pisces Eclipse on Sept 7.

The question isn’t whether things will change; they will. The real question is: Will you resist, or will you allow yourself to be remade by the tides?

Astrology Highlights

• Aug 31 – Venus sextile Uranus (Leo–Gemini): playful breakthroughs, sudden connections, creative sparks.

• Sept 1 – Mercury trine Jupiter (Virgo–Cancer): clear conversations, optimism, expansive ideas.

• Sept 2 – Sun opposite Saturn (Virgo–Pisces): boundaries, reality checks, commitments vs. overwhelm.

• Sept 5 – Mercury opposite Neptune (Virgo–Pisces): confusion, fog, miscommunications. Best used for spiritual insight and dreamwork.

• Sept 7 – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (15°): emotional culmination and release. Endings that clear illusions. Tender but profoundly healing.

How It Feels / What We're Learning

Feels: Sensitive, restless, emotionally heightened, with flashes of clarity followed by fog.We’re learning:

• To hold Virgo order and Pisces surrender at the same time.

• To stop clinging to what dissolves and let the tides take what they must.

• To ground our nervous system with ritual, structure, and care as the skies stir change.

Soul Guidance

• Anchor your nervous system daily through breathwork, journaling, clean food, and body care.

• Honour emotional release. Tears, dreams, or waves of fatigue are part of eclipse medicine.

• Don’t force clarity,  let Virgo help you organise what you can, and let Pisces wash the rest.

• Avoid overcommitting; leave space for the eclipse to work through you.

Journal Prompts

• What am I ready to release into the tide of this eclipse?

• Where am I holding on too tightly out of fear?

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I surrender to the flow of change. I trust the dissolving, the realigning, and the rebirth."

My friends, the tides rise this week, pulling away what is false and fragile. You are not being punished,  you are being purified. Virgo steadies your hands, Pisces softens your heart, and the eclipses realign your path. Please trust what is leaving. Trust what is dissolving. The Universe is clearing your field for a life that holds your soul with integrity. Surrender, and you will see this as the truth.

This week is the opening chapter of September’s story, a story of endings and beginnings written in the language of eclipses. Be soft with yourself, steady your routines, and let go where you are asked to. What feels heavy now is clearing space for what is truer, lighter, and aligned with who you are becoming. 

I love you,

Sarah
