ASTROLOGY HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15-21, 2025

We are having an eclipse near the South Node this week which means change is in the air but it’s the kind of change that asks us to let go first before anything new can take root. New moons are normally times to plant seeds of intention or start something new but an eclipse near the South Node is more a time of endings, completions, and letting go of what’s no longer aligned.

You might feel like something big is coming but you’re not quite there yet and that in-between space can be hard to sit in, especially when you’re highly sensitive and running a business.

Making Room for Something New

Imagine this week is a moment in time where you are invited to clear, release and let go so that something new can be welcomed into your life. You might not be able to see what’s next yet, but on some level you can feel it.

The astrology is asking you to clear space. That can be clearing space emotionally, energetically, and even financially before you step into a new version of yourself. That’s why this is the perfect time to slow down and release anything that’s still hanging on that doesn’t match where you’re headed.

To help you harness this week’s magic, I created an Art Spell to Clear Your Energy. If you are on my mailing list, check your inbox. In my Sunday newsletter, I sent you the link you need to download and print the spell I hand-drew for you. I also show you step-by-step how to use the spell so don’t worry, everything you need to harness the magic of this week is there.

When Everything Finally Starts to Make Sense

On Friday, a couple days before the eclipse, we’re gifted with a beautiful moment of clarity. Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, is connecting with Uranus and Pluto to help you finally get something. It’s like scattered puzzle pieces start snapping into place.

This could show up as a conversation, an insight, or an inner realization that brings together ideas or events from totally different areas of your life. Suddenly, things feel like they belong together. If you’ve been in the fog or sitting with questions, this energy can help you spot the threads and patterns. It’s a great time to jot things down, make connections, or let yourself play with new ideas because something that’s been confusing might finally start to click.

A Time to Let Go, Not Begin

Then on Sunday, September 21, we have a new moon solar eclipse in Virgo and it’s a South Node eclipse, which means it’s not about new beginnings. It’s about letting go and clearing the way for something new to come in. Something is coming to a natural ending, whether you’re ready for it or not. You may feel the urge to release an old identity, a role you’ve been playing, or a version of yourself that no longer fits.

You don’t have to have the next version figured out yet. This eclipse is the clearing phase. It is the composting part of the cycle. Trust that what’s falling away is making room for something better to take root later and if you really want to align with the energy, make a conscious effort to do some clearing whether that is physical decluttering or clearing your energy field or doing deeper subconscious clearing work.

It doesn’t matter what kind of clearing you do.

Your efforts to release, clear and let go will be supported by and amplified by this eclipse.

Define Who You Are Even If It’s Hard

On the same day as the eclipse, the Sun stands opposite Saturn, and that adds weight to everything. This is a day of serious reflection and decision-making. You might feel like life is asking you to make a tough call about who you are and who you’re not anymore. You may need to let go of something you once thought was important or face the reality that you can’t do it all.

There’s a sobering kind of clarity when the ancient wisdom of Saturn is in the mix. It’s like sitting with an all-knowing elder who helps you to see a stark truth that you’ve been avoiding. You’re being asked to define your identity in a deeper way and get real about your limits. This kind of pressure can bring up discomfort but it can also bring crystal-clear insight about who you really are and what is a priority to you. Let yourself feel the truth of it, even if it’s hard.

You Can’t Think Your Way Through This One

Here’s where it gets interesting because Mercury, our mental problem-solver and the ruler of this eclipse, is in a position where it can’t see the eclipse. This creates a kind of blind spot which symbolically means you might not be able to think your way through what’s happening and the things you need to clear and release might not be things you are aware you need to clear and release.

Some things just won’t make sense on paper. You may be impacted by things you don’t consciously see or understand yet. You might have to clear hidden emotions, unresolved past experiences, or sudden surprises that reveal something you didn’t know was affecting you. This is where your intuition comes in.

It’s not about analyzing or figuring it all out. It’s about sensing, trusting, and feeling your way forward. It’s about approaching your clearing and releasing in creative and magical ways. This is the perfect time for intuitive tools like art magic or subconscious support like MAP.

During this eclipse, you need practices that help you access the parts of yourself that don’t use words.

Clearing Money Fears and Outdated Beliefs

One of the deeper layers of this eclipse has to do with money, worth, and receiving. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is sitting in a part of the sky (in relation to the eclipse) that relates to finances, resources, and self-value. You might find yourself thinking about your pricing, your income, or how much you allow yourself to receive not just financially but energetically.

Old money beliefs could rise to the surface including things like scarcity fears, inherited patterns and self-worth wounds. This is the time to clear those out. It is an especially helpful time to clear things out around your money identity. You might not be ready to fully step into your “new money identity” yet, but the clearing starts now. You’re making space for something more aligned to come in.

What Is Your Money Identity?

Your money identity is basically the story you carry about who you are when it comes to money. It includes all the beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and expectations you’ve picked up over time and most of them without even realizing it.

It’s things like:

• How much you believe you’re allowed to earn.
• How comfortable or uncomfortable you feel receiving.
• What you assume people will think of you if you have a lot of money or if you don’t.
• Whether you feel like you have to work hard for money, or if ease and abundance feel suspicious.
• Whether you see yourself as someone who’s bad with money or not good enough to manage it well.

You didn’t just make these beliefs up. They usually come from your upbringing, your culture, your family system, and past experiences (including early childhood trauma or neglect).

Why You Might Want to Shift It

If you’re trying to grow a business or share your creative, healing, or spiritual gifts with the world, your money identity matters.

Why?

Because if deep down you believe things like:

• “People like me don’t make money doing what they love,” or
• “It’s not safe to be seen and successful,” or
• “If I have money, people will judge me or abandon me…”

…then it can be really hard to charge what you’re worth, promote your offerings, or even believe your work matters enough to be paid for.

Shifting your money identity is about slowly and gently letting go of those old stories so you can step into a new way of seeing yourself. Imagine embracing a money identity where money isn’t about guilt or fear or survival, but about nourishment, care and support.

How to Start Thinking About It Differently

You don’t need to become someone you’re not. You just need to remember that your worth is not up for debate and that money isn’t dirty, shameful, or “not spiritual.”

Try asking yourself:

• What kind of relationship do I want to have with money?
• What would it feel like to be well-supported and resourced?
• What’s the money story I inherited and do I still want to carry it?
• What would it feel like to be taken care of and protected by money?

You can start clearing old beliefs and choosing new ones.

You can learn to see yourself as someone who can receive, who can hold money, and who is safe to be seen, supported, and successful.

That’s what shifting your money identity is all about. You don’t have to do it all at once. But even one belief at a time can change your whole experience of money and your ability to grow your business without burning yourself out or abandoning yourself.

HOW TO WORK WITH THIS WEEK’S ASTROLOGY IN YOUR BUSINESS

This isn’t the week to push hard or launch something new. The energy right now is asking you to slow down, clear space, and get honest about what’s really going on under the surface. It’s like the ground is being prepared, but the seeds aren’t ready to be planted yet. If you try to force something before it’s time, it may not take root.

Instead of pushing forward, rest, clear and release. Reflect on who you’re becoming in your business. Think about the version of you that’s running things in 2026.

Who are you then?

What do you know at the end of 2026 that you’re just beginning to understand now?

What do you no longer carry in 2026 that you’re carrying right now?

This is a powerful time to ask yourself: What emotional baggage, energy patterns, or old beliefs are getting in the way of that next version of me? Is there something you’re afraid to be seen for? A way of working or showing up that just doesn’t fit anymore? A fear about money or being too much?

You don’t need to solve it all at once, but you can start by gently making space. That might look like clearing out an old offer that doesn’t align anymore, pausing a habit that drains you, or even just acknowledging something you’re done carrying like a belief that you have to do it all alone.

Use this week to begin letting go, so when the time comes to grow something new, whether it’s more visibility, prosperity, aligned clients, or creative collaborations, you’re actually ready to receive it. This is sacred inner prep work. Your future self will thank you for it.

HOW THIS WEEK’S ASTROLOGY MIGHT AFFECT YOUR HIGHLY SENSITIVE NATURE

If you’ve been feeling extra sensitive lately, you’re not imagining it. The Virgo energy this week, especially with the eclipse, might turn the volume up on your inner critic. You might find yourself nitpicking everything you do, wanting things to be perfect, or feeling like you’re not doing enough. That’s just Virgo doing what Virgo does. It’s trying to help by organizing and improving but sometimes it can feel like pressure instead of support.

Eclipse energy on its own can make you feel emotionally raw or ungrounded. It can stir up feelings you thought you were done with. You might feel unsteady or like you’re standing in a doorway, not quite where you were, but not fully sure where you’re going next either. That kind of liminal space can be beautiful, but it can also be overwhelming and this is especially true if you have a history of trauma or emotional neglect, where uncertainty or sudden change never felt safe.

You might also feel like you need to make a big decision, or you feel pressured to choose something important even though you don’t feel fully ready. That can activate old fear patterns, making you freeze or spiral. Give yourself permission to pause. You don’t need to rush just because the energy is intense. You’re allowed to go slow, take your time and say, “No.” or “Not right now.”

Allow Intuition to Guide You

Another layer here is that Mercury, the planet that helps us make sense of things, is in a position this week where it can’t “see” what’s happening with the eclipse. So you might not be able to think your way through this one. That can feel scary if you rely on logic or planning to feel safe. Remind your inner child parts that it’s okay if things don’t fully make sense yet. This is a moment to soften into your intuition, your body, and your creative practices instead of trying to figure it all out with your mind.

And finally, with the sun opposite Saturn on the same day as the eclipse, you might feel lower energy than usual. Your confidence might dip. You might feel invisible, unsure, or less clear about yourself. That’s okay too. It’s temporary. Be gentle with yourself. This isn’t a failure. It’s an invitation to rest, release, and reset.

Take care of your nervous system this week. Let things slow down. Let art, nature, rest, and spiritual connection hold you while you shed what’s no longer yours to carry. You’re preparing for a new chapter and it’s one where there will be some things you like much better than the way they are now so trust that.

Trust that the clearing and releasing you are doing, even when it feels hard, is making room for something better.

HOW THIS WEEK’S ENERGY MIGHT AFFECT YOUR CLIENTS OR CUSTOMERS

Your clients and customers might not be at their clearest this week. The eclipse energy can make people feel foggy, emotionally drained, or like their attention is all over the place. If they seem distracted, less engaged, or like they’ve pulled back a little, don’t take it personally. They’re probably just doing some internal clearing of their own.

This is not the time to push hard or expect big results. Instead, focus on creating content that feels calming, supportive, and gently inspiring. Think soft landings, not loud invitations. Your people are trying to figure out who they are and what they want next, just like you might be, and they need space to breathe.

This week, you can be a lighthouse for them. Help them make space. Offer intuitive insights, simple clarity, and little moments of reassurance. Let them know it’s okay to not have it all figured out right now. Remind them to rest and take care of themselves and model that by doing the same in your own business. When you show that you’re prioritizing care over production, it gives them permission to do that too.

HOW TO LEAD YOUR COMMUNITY IN THIS WEEK’S ASTROLOGY

This is a week to lead by example. The energy is intense, and people are feeling it so show up as someone who’s walking through it too. Be the calm in the eclipse storm. Let your audience see that you’re doing your own clearing work right alongside them.

It’s not your job to fix or rescue anyone right now. Instead, normalize the fact that things feel unsettled. Remind your community that endings, letting go, and uncertainty are a natural part of growth. It’s okay to not feel certain or steady yet. It’s okay to feel like you’re in between who you were and who you’re becoming.

Use your content to gently guide people to feel what they’re feeling, clear what’s ready to be cleared, and trust that clarity will come, just maybe not immediately. Focus less on trying to help people take action and more on helping them make space.

This week, your offerings should feel like soft invitations, not solutions. Share your tools, your insights, your art and your support but let people come to them when they’re ready. Don’t add pressure. Instead, offer spaciousness. Rest. Reflection. Releasing. That’s the kind of leadership that will really land right now.

HOW TO HARNESS THIS WEEK’S ASTROLOGY IN YOUR ART MAGIC

This week’s new moon eclipse is a powerful time for clearing out what no longer serves you. This is especially true about things you can’t quite put your finger on, like old beliefs, patterns, fears, or energy that’s just not yours to carry anymore.

To help you release all that, I created a simple and powerful art spell you can do in your journal or print out and use however you like. It’s called the Hands of Release, and there are a couple different ways to work with it, depending on your time, mood, or style.
