Weekly Forecast - September 21 - 27, 2025. Kelly M. Beard. 22 September 2025

​9/21 • Sun (core essential Self) ~oppose~ Saturn (physical limits & definition of reality):

This is an annual process of development. The Sun makes it personal and about you, the individual. Saturn helps move your timeline along and build the literal aspects of life, the basics of providing for yourself (food, shelter etc) and your own personal limitations. What renewed aspect of Self got activated about 6-months ago and how do you want that to fully develop over the next 6-months? This is a potent midpoint, the most powerful course-correcting time in any cycle, this one being an annual meeting between Sun & Saturn, a check-point between you and your responsibilities. Each year, you evolve, some years more consciously than others so this is a good time to check-in with your own personal definitions of what you are or are no longer responsible for. Often, this energy activates a push-pull between who you are and who you want to be; between what you want to do and what you have to do. My age-old advice is to: do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do. And while it may not be the easiest path, it’s usually worth it for the peace of mind that it brings. You may swing between extremes of fulfilling all your obligations to the neglect of your own Truth & Purpose -or- neglecting your obligations and doing whatever you choose, which only means those obligations will be there when you get to them and they will have most likely increased by the time you do. Balance is the key! Practice, there is no perfection and it’s time to practice handling business before pleasure.

9/21 • VIRGO New Moon/Solar Eclipse (2 of 2 = Lunar Flip):

Now, we have the second Virgo New Moon, whose general description applies, however, we also need to take a few other things into consideration. It is likely that the first VIRGO New Moon (8/23) illuminated the Initiation Work in one House/Area of Life and this second one will do its Initiation Work in a completely different House/Area of Life. This means that we are doing a clearing in the Pisces House/Area of Life that will serve the Initiations going on in two other Areas of Life.

As we approach the Harvest for the year 2025, keep in mind that everything is a response to the last thing, and preparation for the next thing. So if you were able to activate renewed self-love & creativity in Leo in the last month, you will now shift to how to anchor that new Emergent Self in your day-to-day life with the Virgo/Pisces lunation, which will make you more individually secure as you move toward Libra Time, which is coming next.

This lunation is special as it also activates a process of what I call the *Lunar Flip*. For the last 18-months, the New Moon preceded the Full Moon, creating a rhythm of having to plant our seeds and walk by faith to the Full Moon, which usually shines a light on anything possibly blocking those New Moon Seeds from taking root and growing healthy & strong. Now, that rhythm is shifting to the Full Moon preceding the New Moon, which will ask you to complete, clear & release before seeding anything new. This means that we may experience that ending/new beginning vibe in a very personal way over the next 18-months. We are going through two Virgo New Moon Initiations to facilitate the upgrade to our nervous systems so that we can handle the new rhythm emerging from the recent rebirths that we have all gone through on individual, social & collective levels. In other words, we will likely have to initiate some new practices in two different Areas of Life (Houses) in order to facilitate the great rebirth that we’ve recently gone through. This is especially potent & transformative for anyone with strong Virgo/Pisces or Gemini/Sag.

This second Virgo New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, which is activating much more than our annual cycle, it is in the process of ending/initiating a new 20-year cycle. Reflect on the following years to decide how to navigate the incoming changes, movement & upgrades in your Virgo/Pisces Areas of Life.

9/22 • Fall Equinox – Harvest Time:

Rhythm is a beautiful thing! Taking some time at the turn of each Season notifies the Universe that you are ready, willing and able to co-create with Mother Earth & Father Sky. Fall Equinox is the time of year to bring all your projects to a close, finish whatever you can and start looking toward new projects. Balance & Integrate what is working and release the rest. If you willingly (and lovingly) release that which is not working, the next Season will go a lot smoother when you go to truly close the year in preparation for a new Solar year. Harvest is about assessing & gathering all that you’ve created for the year, and ultimately, reaping the rewards of all your hard work & labor. Some of your *Harvest* will be tangible, creative projects that can & will bear fruit now that they are complete, stable or in place … and some of your *Harvest* will be intangible, in that, you have further cultivated your own Being over the last year and now you (and others) can benefit from your personal integration, individual gifts & evolved consciousness. Align with your Higher Self & expand your goals for the coming season – think bigger! Fall Equinox is a time of balance, a time of balance between Light & Shadow and takes us from movement out in the world, to more inner, “work with what you’ve got” type of energy, using your resources & creations to build on & expand, primarily behind the scenes in preparation for Spring Initiation, 6-months from now. Libra is the Sign of the Season and is Ruled by Venus, which reminds us that *ALL Life* is inextricably connected. Any imbalances affect all life (eventually). As living, conscious Beings, we strive for balance in all that we think, feel, say and do. You can access your inner-Libra and re-center, so that you are more effective in your Being-ness and more useful to Life in general.

9/22 • Mars Enters SCORPIO (until Nov 4th):

Mars usually spends about 2-months in each Sign, stimulating our Inner Sacred Masculine and moving that evolution along. This is where the energy & juice that Mars is channeling comes through the lessons & blessings of the Sign. It stirs up the energy in this Area of Life (House), which in this case, is Scorpio. Every 2-years, it is a nice cycle to sync-up with it in order to co-create, especially when you really want to get some things done – that’s what your Mars is for! Your Inner Sacred Masculine is responsible for holding good boundaries, negotiating on your own behalf & getting your ideas into the world. It is a delicious rhythm to pay attention to when you are wanting to develop right timing & right action around your desires & passions and also wanting to see the results of your conscious choices.

When Mars moves into Scorpio, it is the most powerful time to conceive ‘who you are’ and ‘what you want’ on a whole new level. Scorpio is the lesson of power, creation and karma and so it is a good time to review how you have honored your power, nurtured your creativity and cleared karma in the last 2-years. When Mars is in Scorpio, unconscious behaviors are more obvious and up for renewal or clearing. If unconscious, you may act in survival-mode during this time, feeling threatened by the slightest movement or shadow. The idea is to check-in with your SoulSelf and ask how you can deepen your dedication to cultivating a life that reflects & expresses the Light of your own Soul. Accept & facilitate the release of all that no longer serves and make room to recreate your life in a whole new way. This conception point, like all of them, will likely be ‘in darkness’ or ‘behind the scenes’, meaning you won’t be inclined to discuss your plans, but instead, you are supported to quietly & meticulously carry them out. Watch any extremes, feast or famine, and remember that everything is energy, and energy must be directed or it can get stagnant and turn toxic. Renew your passion for something that you used to deeply love or find a new passion! Also keep in mind that this is a time when your most primal emotions are stirred so convert any personal, social or collective rage (paralyzing) into outrage (mobilizing) and can facilitate positive change, rather than indiscriminately destroying everything or everyone in your path. This is a ‘phoenix from the ashes’ opportunity that comes around every 2-years so take advantage of it to rebirth your individual Self.

9/23 • Sun (ego & essential Self) ~oppose~ Neptune (illusion & delusion):

Where Venus oppose Neptune is about your relationships & finances, this Sun activation is more about YOU, the individual. And any opposition requires that we find the balance in the middle. This can be a very confusing energy. You will be very sensitive to others and their needs, as well as how they relate to you & your own needs. You may want to withdraw or not voice your opinion just to avoid conflict, feeling like it wouldn’t solve anything anyway. However, I don’t recommend it. Often, if/when you do not ‘disagree’ (openly) then people assume you agree, which creates more problems. You shouldn’t give in to any temptation of being “slick” either, that will only attract more of the same to you. If you’re feeling unsure of yourself or your position, you may think it is easier to give in to another person’s demands when you really should stand up for yourself. Self-preservation is not selfish, it is necessary, so try to avoid playing the victim. Be honest and up-front with anyone demanding a confrontation at this time, that you would rather gather your thoughts and discuss things later (by then this energy will have passed) when you will be able to articulate your side of things better. Be aware of deception – both on your part and/or the part of others (trying to deceive you). Your discernment is not its strongest under this influence so it is best to be still and quiet until the energy passes. Take this time to do some spiritual, inner work.

9/23 • Sun (energy & focus) ~trine~ Uranus (individuality & change):

This energy is wonderful for a little self-examination and taking action on your own behalf. Take a close look at your own routines, home environment, work, or any other significant areas in your life. Reflect on the decisions that have brought you to this point. It is an apt moment to survey your surroundings and determine how to retain what serves you well while releasing what no longer aligns with your future path. This phase encourages organization & decluttering, addressing anything that requires attention or letting it go altogether. While you may feel exceptionally practical or self-focused, it is actually a form of self-preservation, which is essential.

9/24 • Sun (energy & individuality) ~trine~ Pluto (purification & transformation):

This energy ignites a strong desire within you to accomplish your goals, by any means necessary, and while you may come across as assertive, it ultimately serves a positive purpose. The changes at hand are necessary and facing them head-on will provide invaluable insights that strengthen your foundation, facilitating organic evolution to the next level of your own life. This transformative energy encourages deep contemplation about your own individual needs & desires, prompting you to reassess and potentially reform or release certain aspects of your Self, your life or environment. Seizing the opportunity to evolve consciously will mitigate any intense Pluto energy. This energy helps you leave a lasting impression or positively impact others if you want to, but be sure that your actions & words are aligned with the highest ethical standards. Any attempts to manipulate others for personal gain will likely backfire on you. Embrace this positive, uplifting energy to clear away obstacles and manifest the life you were meant to live.

9/24 • Mars (lower will) ~square~ Pluto (Higher will):

This is a profound test of your inner strength and core identity, demanding a certain level of surrender and an increased self-awareness in order to navigate successfully. It challenges you to evolve, urging you to master challenges & surmount obstacles while cautioning against any overly aggressive behavior that could harm your Self or others in the process. If approached with wisdom, this potent energy holds the potential for significant transformation, provided you are personally clear on your own identity, desires & choices, and willing to make the necessary sacrifices for your own growth & evolution. Power struggles, both internal & external, may arise, as this energy impacts everyone at this juncture. It is a critical period to tie up loose ends before embarking on new beginnings, as unfinished business could hinder future endeavors. Aligning your inner power with balanced actions & considered choices is paramount during this time of intensity & transformation.
