Dawn of Balance & Becoming

21 - 27 SEPTEMBER 2025

We are stepping into one of the grand turning points of the year. The sky has turned a new page. The Solar Partial Eclipse rises on Monday, 22 September 2025, around 6:13 am AEST shortly before sunrise and ends about 7:36 am. The eclipse arrives as the Sun, chariot of light, moves into Libra at the Equinox (also on 22 September), when night and day meet in perfect equilibrium.

If the week before felt like the pause, like the hush just before something shifts, this week is the step into the light. Expect your inner rhythms to realign; you might wake up with a clearer heart, a sharper sense of what deserves space in your life, what deserves pruning, what deserves devotion. There’s a tension, yes, the kind of tension that comes before a breakthrough. Restlessness laced with calm. Nervous energy mixed with clarity.

You may feel called to new forms of expression, to declare what you want, to draw boundaries more cleanly. Thoughts about how you engage with others, how you give and receive love, and how you balance being and doing all are amplified now. Libra’s scales demand fairness  within your relationships, with yourself, and in the energies you carry.

With this shift also comes the blessings. The chaos of endings begins to settle. The soil, cleared now, becomes fertile. The Equinox’s balance gives you a vantage point. You can see more clearly what has been misaligned. And the Eclipse, seeded in Virgo and rising into Libra, gives you permission to plant new intentions, intentions rooted in health, in harmony, in authentic living.

Imagine you are crossing through an illuminated door. The eclipse has carved out the old landscape. Libra’s scales now invite you to walk forward in balance into this new field. You will feel the edges of your truth sharpen, the quiet voice of your heart asking for clarity. Let your relationships reflect light, not need. Let your body be your temple, not your battleground.

In the meeting of night and day, dark and light, you are being called to stand as one who plants seeds of intention with joy on purpose. Trust the alignment, trust the beauty, trust what your soul is whispering. Trust what will grow from this incredible time. Stay in the moment. There is so much to be learnt in this incredible time.

Astrology Highlights

22 September, early morning: Partial Solar Eclipse in Australia, visible from Brisbane, starting ~6:13 am, ending ~7:36 am 

22 September: Sun enters Libra / Equinox: the balance point. The cosmic reset begins.

Around this time, Libra Season amplifies relationship energy: how we relate, how we share, how we harmonize with others and with ourselves.

Mars in Scorpio deepens emotional integrity. Shadow work, truth, transformation under love and intensity.

Sun opposite Neptune may bring dreamy haze or illusion great for imagination, creativity, but be cautious of being misled or slipping into overwhelm.

How It May Feel & What to Expect

You may wake with a sense that something has quietly shifted your perception, your priorities. What once felt urgent may now feel optional. What once felt safe may now feel restrictive.

Emotions could be tender  old patterns showing themselves in relationships, in self-talk, in how boundaries are honored (or not). There may be a pull between wanting peace and needing truth.

Some days you’ll be swept into a conversation that feels sacred, music, art, laughter, and reminders of what it means to live fully. Other days, shadows arise: resistance, discomfort, the urge to shrink back. Both sides are part of the process.

Expect clarity, especially mid-week, about what to commit to next, what to release, and what to refine.

My Advice This Week 

• Rise early on the day of the eclipse or near sunrise. Sit in stillness, set your intention for what you want to invite in. 

• Journal: What relationships need recalibrating? How do you give vs how do you receive? What truths have you avoided that want your voice now?

• Body care: Libra’s adjuster asks that your body be comfortable and balanced. Gentle movement, stretching, drink water, maybe a yoga flow focusing on the hips, groin, and back.

• Mindful of the veil: With Sun (Libra) opposite Neptune (Pisces) energy around, discernment will be key. Dream journaling, meditation, and art can help channel inspiration, but avoid making huge decisions under confusion or idealism.

• Rituals of release: Burn what’s no longer useful (symbolically), clear space, gratitude for what is, welcome shifts.

• Relationship checks: Are you giving too much? Are you avoiding speaking truth? Libra season loves negotiation, fairness, listening + speaking.

What to Expect

• A week where reflection becomes action. Where you see what needs repair or release in relationships, routines, body, and mind.

• Opportunities will appear that require courage to meet them: honesty, expression, and being seen.

• Some discomfort: healing isn’t always comfortable. But the discomfort is fuel for transformation.

• A stronger sense of inner authority, knowing more clearly what you won’t accept, what you will affirm.

Journal Prompts

• What balance do I want to embody from here forward?

• Where have I given away power in relationships?

• What habits or practices will sustain me post-eclipse, not just in ideal moments but in real life?

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I walk into this new dawn with clarity. I embrace both truth and harmony. I am balanced, aligned, and open to becoming."

This is not just a week; it's the threshold we have been waiting to walk over for a really long time. The eclipse and the Equinox stand together like twin gates, inviting us into a new chapter. 

What we plant, what we release, how we speak and listen, how we love and receive, these are all being rewritten now and will shape the journey ahead.

Let your soul feel the weight of what’s passing, the promise of what’s coming. This week may stretch you, challenge you, but it also offers one of the greatest blessings of the season. It's alignment, balance, and renewal time, my friends. Step forward with intention and an open heart, and watch the dream unfold as if it were magic. 

I love you,

Sarah
