Welcome to the eclipse portal. With one behind us and one to come, we’ve entered what’s widely considered to be the vortex era of the eclipse season. This is the point where it can feel like you’re living inside a snow globe. Which way is up? Who knows. The drama is real. Things happen fast and without warning, and for those of us who prefer to be in control, well, it can be rough.
The trick is to keep as nimble as you can. Goal posts will shift. Things you thought were airtight will suddenly have a big question mark over them. That’s ok, it just isn’t kind of what you might have planned. Release expectations and, wherever possible, keep your mind open to the possibility of things being different, but not necessarily worse.
The energy drain is especially early in the week when the Sun connects to the south node. It’s the sort of day when you might feel like all the air has been sucked from the room and you can’t get it together. That’s ok. Don’t panic and schedule accordingly.
Horoscopes for the week of September 8-14, 2025
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
If you’re feeling tapped out this week, don’t fret; it’s not just you—it’s in the sky. With some big south node feels casting a long shadow over this week’s energy, your motivation to get up and go may be at an all-time low. Life admin, necessary but boring aspects of your job, and even your usual HIIT class may all feel an unfathomably tall mountain to climb.
Don’t push yourself. Instead, honour the energy by taking your foot off the gas. Lay low, rest, and do a restorative yoga class instead of your usual 5:30 reformer. Whatever your body is calling for, honour it and trust that there will be plenty of time to get back on track in the weeks ahead.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
There’s a cutting quality this week that might take you by surprise. If you’ve been in a situationship, or maybe relying on some unhealthy means of escape (oh hi, online shopping!), there’s a chance this week that you could enter a new phase. As the sun highlights the things you’re being asked to release, the trickiest part (especially for you, Taurus) will be knowing when to let go.
Not everything or everyone is meant to come with you into your next chapter. Don’t panic, try to let things unfold as they’re intended. What isn’t meant to go with you will naturally fall away. Let it. Make space for new growth.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
You’re in for a treat this week. With eclipse season in full swing, there are big movements in the air. And what could be better news for a Gemini than the winds of change? The central areas of your life are all in flux, and you are 100% here for it. Shifts around where you’re living, where you’re working, and your long-term goals are all likely. There’s nothing to do or manifest, as the wheels are already in motion.
Some harsh realities may emerge, but know that while the truth may be a little uncomfortable, you’re better off knowing now than continuing under false pretences. If cracks begin to appear, let things fall away. Onward and upward.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Eclipse season (no matter the sign) always hits you hard, little crab, and this week it’s time to dust off that shell and go to ground. With people and situations around you in a state of freefall, the collateral drama could be big. As one of the most energetically sensitive signs, even when the Astro weather isn’t’ hitting you directly, you feel it—hard. Chances are, drama in your family, especially involving siblings, could reach maximum drain levels this week.
It’s a lot, and not every cross is yours to take on, as much as you may feel obliged to do so. So, hunker down, cancel plans, and permit yourself to get lost in small but satisfying chores.
LEO AND LEO RISING
If it feels like you’re haemorrhaging cash this week, it’s not your imagination. With the south node in full drain mode within your financial sector, money could feel as though it’s literally slipping through your fingers. Sometimes just knowing it’s not in your head can help the unexpected expenses sting a little less. Energy-wise, you could feel tapped out, too.
Monday through Thursday, things feel exceptionally flat. It’s ok to cancel plans. If you’re not feeling it, don’t force it. Reframe the exhaustion as an excellent excuse for JOMO.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
It’s all happening for Virgos this week as you enter full eclipse mode. Right now, you’re in the midst of a two-year shake-up around all the core aspects of your identity and your closest relationships. If things aren’t where you want them to be, don’t fret. This is very much an evolving storyline. The hardest part is to keep things in perspective.
Where the chips fall this week—or even this month/year—is not the season finale. Reframe uncertainty as an opportunity for endless possibilities. And when things start to splinter away, let them. They were not destined for your next episode…
LIRBA AND LIBRA RISING
There’s a restlessness to the energy this week that could have you feeling decidedly off balance. That’s a challenging space to be for a sign that seeks equanimity above all else. But letting go and letting things unfold is all you can do right now. With so much in flux, you’d be forgiven for feeling like you want to crawl under your doona and take a nap. You know what? That isn’t a terrible idea.
Letting go of things is a complex and exhausting task. If you need a lie down this week, take it. Try not to spiral and trust that things won’t feel like this forever.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
Put the popcorn in the microwave and pour yourself a prosecco. This week should be entertaining to say the least. With the eclipses shaking up your social sector, expect more drama than a Housewives reunion episode. The south node points to a big exit, possibly. Maybe it won’t be a surprise; in fact, it’s been a long time coming, but this could be the week they finally pack their bags and leave for good. Don’t take it personally; they were never really signed on to be a long-time cast member.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
Change, drama, and shifting priorities are all on the dance card this week. With eclipse season in full swing, you are one of the lucky folks who will be feeling its full effect. As the ground continues to seemingly move beneath you, even the most intrepid centaurs could be feeling a little discombobulated. The trick is to trust that whatever things look like right now, is not your long-term outlook.
You’re in transition, and as awkward or exhausting as it may feel, you need to cross these immediate bridges to get where you’re going and move on. When it feels like things are slipping away, don’t struggle to hold on. Let go and know better things are coming.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Productivity is your middle name, but this week you’re getting a very clear edict: slow down and stop hustling. With the south node setting the scene for an all-time low point in energy levels, and eclipse season bringing all the ambiguity, getting things done will be near impossible. Don’t spin your wheels, resign yourself to the fact that things just aren’t going to come together as fast as you’d like, or in the exact way you had planned. Experiment with taking a hand off the wheel. The world will not end if you don’t get through your to-do list this week. Rest, have fun and have faith there’ll be plenty of time to get back on track.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
The great purge of 2025 continues this week as the south node stirs up some of the shadiest aspects of your chart. Shared assets, debt, power dynamics—it’s all in flux. The bad news? It’s not settling down right now. The good news? Whatever is feeling ambiguous and hard to control right now is nowhere near its resolution. Difficult though it may be, try to let go and see where the chips fall.
If energy vampires raise their head (highly likely this week), don’t be shy in leaning out. You don’t have to take on everyone else’s stuff. If all else fails, head outside and have some time in nature—it will be your greatest healer this week.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
Should you stay or go? Are you arriving or leaving? The uncertainty is rife this week, bringing a nebulous confusion that could shake even the most wafty Pisceans to the core. With your most important relationships under pressure, just being around your person (or people) could feel extremely draining. If you feel the need to take a step back, don’t be afraid to do so.
You can be caring and compassionate and still have boundaries. In fact, it’s essential you do. Practice the fine art of letting a person fall apart without rushing in to fix it.
