September isn’t pulling any punches. We’re walking straight into eclipse season, and if you’ve been feeling like you’re juggling fog while Mercury sets your calendar on fire — well, congratulations, you’ve noticed, and you're not the only one! This month gives us a Pisces Total Lunar Eclipse , a Gemini Last Quarter Moon , a Virgo Solar Eclipse  at the last gasp of the sign, and a Capricorn First Quarter Moon  to finish the job. Translation: things end, things unravel, things get swept up in Virgo’s obsessive cleaning spree, and then Saturn comes along to make sure we actually build something instead of just sighing into our oat lattes. Let’s break it down. I think what makes this month so dynamic is that so many things that have been brewing are finally on their way to some form of culmination. As you know, my dear mystic, everything comes in cycles. A waveform that happens discretely, and paradoxically interwoven with several other waveforms. Everything in the physical world, whether it is an event, a life or even a microcosmic organism, all begins with an inception, followed by a trajectory of increase, a culmination and then a decrease which completes in cessation. Cycles within cycles, waveforms, interwoven into other waveforms. Eclipses, though, are especially striking in terms of the cycles of our lives and the experiences that are either beginning or ending. When these alignments occur, they appear to be intrinsically linked to events in our lives that have come to critical mass in a manner of speaking. Something is either set to begin or end. And, in so doing, we are set on another waveform that carries us into the next chapters of our lives. That being said, my dear Mystic, an eclipse doesn't promise a dramatic showing of this beginning or end. The configuration between the Sun, Moon and Earth that is an eclipse can actually set things in motion in a very subtle way. We can just feel a shift, or have an inner knowing that from this point forward, everything will be different. In some cases, this energy can manifest in very dramatic ways. Projecting us into new circumstances or life conditions. Other times, something significantly and demonstratively draws to a close. Either way, it's not just the eclipse itself we need to watch for, but instead keep an eye on the energy that is shifting in your life. Keep your awareness trained on the waveform that is flowing and which areas of your life seem to be agitating. Here are the Lunations coming in September and the dates that complete the cycle of eclipses for 2025 🌕 September 7 — Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (15°22′) Ruler: Jupiter. Keywords: unravelling, catharsis, soggy tissues. Lunar eclipses are Full Moons on steroids, so to speak, except instead of feeling extra, you usually feel like the universe just rang the “plot twist” bell. In Pisces, the sign of dissolution, dreams, and “what even is  a boundary?” — we’re looking at an ending with emotional undertow. Something’s been floating around in the background, and now it rises up, soggy and undeniable. That thing that has been hovering around and has left you asking - is this ever gonna end? It is about to come to a close. I'm not promising there won't be dust to settle, but I am saying that whatever you may be saying goodbye to is closer to finally being done. For some of us, this may be painful and feel like a severing of a long-standing tie. For others of us, it may come as the long-awaited catharsis that sets us free. My advice - Let it go. Really. Do the ugly cry, run a bath, pour one out for what’s leaving. The point isn’t to save it — it’s to dissolve it. Jupiter wants you to remember: there’s grace in a clean goodbye. Whatever is going on isn't meant for you anymore, and it's more than ok to move on. 🌗 September 14 — Last Quarter Moon in Gemini (21°52′) Ruler: Mercury. Keywords: too many tabs open, delete three. Quarter Moons are decision points, and the Last Quarter is where we stop fiddling around and start cutting. In Gemini, the cut is mental. Ideas, conversations, distractions, that podcast you swear you’ll listen to but never do — it’s all noise. If Pisces eclipsed you into a puddle, Gemini, here is basically your brain saying: “For the love of the gods, just pick one narrative already.” Don't take that the wrong way. It's not a criticism or a punishment. Instead, it's the universe conspiring in your favour. As the Lunar eclipse has either begun or completed the work of dissolving something in your life, the last Quarter Moon is helping you to collect and focus your thoughts. Tough decisions are still tough, but you can use this energy to clearly define what was perhaps unclear for you previously. So, in my opinion, this energy is here to help you pick one. One plan, one path, one inbox folder. And if you must argue with someone, keep it short — Mercury likes to communicate, and when the Moon is in a Mercury-ruled sign, it's all about being efficient. In Gemini, sometimes we fight the battle between what the heart wants and what the head needs. Do your best to avoid dividing your attention. Instead, focus on matters in front of you by priority. Use Gemini's airy nature to think logically. 🌑 September 21 — Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (29°05′) Ruler: Mercury. Keywords: purge, polish, perfectionism on its last legs. Ahh, here we are back in Elcipse town... and the Sun is the mayor. A solar eclipse is a New Moon with a kick: something shuts down so a different door can creak open. At 29° Virgo, once again we’re talking about endings-with-a-flourish, Virgo-style. That means spreadsheets, reorganizing your spice rack, rituals of purification, and tying bows on things you’ve left dangling for months. It’s not about chasing perfection; it’s about finishing what you’ve been polishing into dust. If Virgo is good at anything, it's proficient in observing patterns, but masterful in calling out inconsistency in those patterns. It is able to sort through that which is useful and that which nas become out-moded. Advice:  Don’t overdo it. Just close the damn file, send the email, or finally let that “work in progress” become either “done” or “deleted.” Your future self will thank you. 🌓 September 29 — First Quarter Moon in Capricorn (7°05′) Ruler: Saturn. Keywords: bricks, deadlines, reality checks. Finally, the First Quarter in Capricorn. If Pisces sobbed, Gemini babbled, and Virgo polished, Capricorn says, “Cute. Now, actually build something.” Saturn rules this sign, so we’re dealing with responsibility, structure, and the slow grind of real  progress. No shortcuts. No manifesting your way out of it. Just brick by brick. Advice:  Pick one structure and stick to it. Schedule, budget, boundary, ritual — it doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s durable. Saturn rewards effort, not excuses. The Eclipse Season In a Nutshell Think of September as a three-act play with an extra scene tacked on: Act I: Pisces (Sept 7)  — The waters rise. You let go, you weep, you float something out to sea. Act II: Gemini (Sept 14)  — You stop talking in circles and trim the noise. Act III: Virgo (Sept 21)  — You purify, finish, or clean out the metaphorical (and literal) closet. Encore: Capricorn (Sept 29)  — You build. Slowly, seriously, sustainably. If You Want It Personal… If you want to know more specifically about how and where these final eclipses of the 2025 series are affecting you, check where Pisces and Virgo fall in your chart. That axis is where the eclipses are doing their heavy lifting. Those of us with personal planets or sensitive points in the sign of Virgo are likely to feel this energy very powerfully. Wherever these signs land in your chart is sort of in the “plot shift” zone, so watch those houses for big closures and sharp pivots. Capricorn is where you’ll need to get serious, and Gemini is where you’ll have to stop spreading yourself thinner than supermarket hummus. To be fair, not all supermarket hummus is thin! That being said, if you would like more clarity on how these eclipses may affect you or what is in your unique birth chart, click the button below to book an appointment. Last But Not Least Contrary to what some internet folks might have said, Eclipses aren’t times to manifest or launch your passion project. They’re times of major beginnings and endings. Instead take a little time to sit back, observe the waveforms undulating in your life. See the places in your world that seem to be touched by agitation or stagnation. Remember that everything in life is temporal in nature and that something is always starting and something else is stopping. The passive and active forces in our lives are always in motion. Do your best to avoid doing anything irreversible while the proverbial lights are flickering. Think of September as cosmic housekeeping: Pisces floods the basement, Gemini tells you to cancel half your subscriptions, Virgo organizes the junk drawer, and Capricorn comes in to build the new shelves. Take it slow, take it wry, and when in doubt: don’t force it, go with the flow, surf the waves. After all, if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Let me ask you a question: Have you ever checked the weather before heading out the door? Of course, you have. Nobody wants to get caught in a downpour without an umbrella or dress for a heatwave when there’s a cold front barreling through. Now imagine if you had a similar forecast—but instead of predicting rain, it revealed the energetic patterns influencing your relationships, career, and even those “Why is this happening to me?” moments. That’s astrology in a nutshell: your cosmic weather report. Astrology often gets a bad rap. For some, it conjures images of glittery newspaper horoscopes or vague platitudes like, “You’ll meet someone mysterious.” But the truth? Astrology is far more nuanced and infinitely more useful than pop culture gives it credit for. It’s an ancient practice rooted in observation, mathematics, and, yes, a bit of magic that helps us understand the energies shaping our lives—past, present, and future. When I look at someone’s natal chart, I’m not just reading personality traits or quirks (though that’s part of the fun). I’m interpreting an intricate map of potential. It’s like standing at the crossroads of fate and free will, holding a guidebook that helps you make the most of both. What Is Astrology, Really? At its core, astrology is a symbolic language—a way to understand the relationship between celestial movements and the experiences we have here on Earth. Your natal chart, calculated from the exact time, date, and place you were born, is like a snapshot of the sky at that moment. It reveals the unique energies imprinted on you and how those energies interact throughout your life. Contrary to what many think, astrology isn’t entirely about predestination. It’s not telling you  what  will happen or what you will do and how, but instead, it's showing you the conditions under which events are likely to unfold. As I mentioned before, try and think of it like a weather forecast. Knowing rain is on the way doesn’t mean you’ll get wet—it just means you should grab an umbrella. Similarly, knowing you’re entering a period of transformation doesn’t dictate your choices, but it helps you prepare for them. Past, Present, and Future One of the most compelling aspects of astrology is its ability to contextualize life events. Have you ever looked back at a challenging period and wondered, What the hell was that all about?  Astrology can often provide an answer. By examining the planetary transits during that time, you can understand the larger energetic patterns at play. It’s a bit like watching the replay of a game—you gain clarity on how the pieces came together (or fell apart). The Path And then there’s the forward-looking power of astrology. While it’s not a crystal ball, it can show you when the tides of life are likely to shift. Are you heading into a phase of expansion and opportunity? Or maybe it’s a quieter season for introspection and recalibration. Knowing the timing of these shifts allows you to work with, rather than against, the flow of your life. Even the present moment benefits from astrological insight. When we feel stuck or restless without knowing why, our charts can shed light on the inner and outer forces at play. It’s like suddenly seeing the pattern in a puzzle you’ve been staring at for too long. Famous Examples Astrology’s benefits aren’t just for starry-eyed mystics. Throughout history, some of the world’s most influential figures have turned to astrology for guidance. President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, famously consulted astrologer Joan Quigley during his time in office. Far from a whimsical indulgence, this practice helped them navigate pivotal moments in their political career. In the financial world, J.P. Morgan—one of the most successful businessmen in history—was an avid believer in astrology, famously declaring, “Millionaires don’t use astrology; billionaires do.”  And then there’s pop icon Beyoncé, whose meticulous approach to her career reportedly includes astrological timing for major decisions. So, even people who are in the public eye and sometimes hold positions of great power understand the benefits of using the stars and planets to guide their choices! More Than “What’s Your Sign” Sagittarius One of the biggest lessons that comes with having your personal astrology does, is finding out that astrology is far more than just learning about your Sun sign. I can't tell you how many readings I've done where my client says - "I know I'm a Scorpio, but I'm not your "typical" Scorpio." or they say something like, "You know us Libra's, we just can't make a choice." or I', not like all those other Leo's because I don't like to be the center of attention." While the Sun is undeniably important (it represents your core essence), it’s just one piece of a much larger puzzle. The fact is, just like you, your birth chart is totally unique. The positions of the planets, stars and signs are just as one-of-a-kind as you are. Your Moon sign speaks to your emotional world, while your rising sign reflects how others perceive you. And then there’s Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn—the entire celestial crew—each representing different areas of life, from relationships to ambition to karmic lessons. A natal chart reading dives deep into these layers, offering insights into your life path, purpose, and even the challenges you’re here to overcome. Astrology doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff. It shows us the patterns and energies that might trip us up—and, more importantly, how we can work with those energies rather than against them. Why Astrology Matters My mom once asked me - "what's the point of astrology, Alysa? What's it for?" I had to think about that for a while, then I realized that we live In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, astrology offers a framework of understanding. It reminds us that we’re connected to something larger than ourselves—a cosmos that’s vast, mysterious, and surprisingly precise. I would not say to you that Astrology has all the answers, but it does provide a perspective that can help us make sense of life’s complexities. It invites us to step back, look at the bigger picture, and align our choices with the natural rhythms of time and the universe. It can provide clarity about the past, guidance for the future, or simply a deeper understanding of yourself. It’s not about being helpless or about being told what you are GOING to do. It's but navigating life’s waters with greater awareness. After all, if you’re sailing through this wild adventure called life, wouldn’t it help to have a map—and maybe a glimpse of the weather ahead?

Mars has always fascinated me, both as a celestial body and as an astrological powerhouse. Let’s start with the facts. Astronomically, Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, orbiting at an average distance of 142 million miles. Its ruddy complexion comes from the iron oxide coating its surface, giving it the famous "Red Planet" moniker. Mars is about half the size of Earth, with a diameter of just over 4,200 miles, and its gravity is only 38% of Earth’s—making it the perfect playground for future astronauts hoping to hop around its surface. One of the most fascinating things about Mars is its similarity to Earth in certain ways. Like Earth, it has seasons, thanks to its axial tilt, though its year is much longer, stretching across 687 Earth days. A day on Mars—called a sol—is just a touch longer than ours, clocking in at 24 hours and 39 minutes. Mars also boasts two quirky little moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are likely captured asteroids. These potato-shaped companions orbit Mars with a sense of mystery befitting the planet they call home. From its towering Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, to the sprawling Valles Marineris canyon system, Mars’ terrain is as dramatic as its astrological reputation. And speaking of astrology, that’s where Mars truly shines—or burns. Astrologically, Mars is the planet of action, drive, and raw energy. It’s a warrior in every sense of the word, embodying courage, ambition, and, yes, conflict. Mars rules over two zodiac signs: Aries and Scorpio. In Aries, Mars expresses itself boldly and directly. It’s fiery, impulsive, and ready to charge into battle without a second thought. In Scorpio, Mars takes a more calculated approach. Here, it operates in the shadows, strategizing, transforming, and enduring. Aries is the day domicile of Mars, a place where its fiery energy is unfiltered, while Scorpio is its night domicile, a realm where Mars’ intensity is channeled into emotional depth and persistence. Mars is exalted in Capricorn, a placement that gives it structure and focus, making its drive unstoppable and its ambitions monumental. Conversely, Mars struggles in Cancer, where its fiery nature is smothered by emotion, leaving it feeling out of its element. It’s also in detriment in Libra and Taurus, signs that prefer harmony and stability over Mars’ natural inclination toward action and conflict. As part of the nocturnal sect, Mars is more at home in night charts, where its influence can be constructive rather than purely combative. Even so, Mars is a malefic planet, traditionally associated with difficulties and challenges. That might sound harsh, but Mars isn’t just about conflict—it’s also about courage and resilience. Properly harnessed, its energy can be transformative, pushing us to achieve greatness. But when poorly placed or unchecked, it can manifest as aggression, recklessness, or destructive tendencies. Mars doesn’t just stroll through the zodiac—it storms through it. Its synodic cycle, or the time it takes to appear in the same position relative to the Sun as seen from Earth, is about 26 months. During that time, it spends roughly six to seven weeks in each zodiac sign, except when it goes retrograde. Mars retrograde happens about every 26 months, lasting for two to two-and-a-half months. During these periods, Mars appears to reverse its motion in the sky, and its usual forward thrust is replaced by introspection. This is a time to reassess our actions, motives, and desires rather than charge ahead. In a natal chart, Mars shows where and how we assert ourselves. Its house placement reveals the area of life where we pour our energy, face conflicts, and seek victories. Mars in the first house, for instance, can indicate someone who is bold and assertive, while Mars in the seventh house might point to passionate but potentially combative relationships. Aspects to Mars from other planets can enhance or challenge its expression. A harmonious aspect to Venus might bring charisma and magnetism, while a hard aspect to Saturn could create frustration or blockages in pursuing one’s goals. The signs Mars rules—Aries and Scorpio—each wear its influence differently. Aries is all fire and instinct, leaping into action without hesitation. Mars here brings leadership, initiative, and a touch of impulsiveness. Scorpio, on the other hand, tempers Mars’ energy with emotional intensity and a strategic mindset. People with Mars in Scorpio often possess remarkable endurance and a talent for navigating life’s undercurrents, but they may also struggle with possessiveness or a need for control. Mars is the spark that ignites our passions and the fire that burns away what no longer serves us. Its placement in a natal chart is vital for understanding how we handle conflict, assert ourselves, and pursue our goals. While its influence can sometimes feel harsh, it’s ultimately about growth through challenge. Mars teaches us that life’s battles—whether external or internal—are where we find our strength. It’s not just a cosmic warrior; it’s our personal drill sergeant, pushing us to be braver, stronger, and more resilient. Thanks for reading!
