Brace Yourself: This Week’s Eclipse Prep Forecast Will Shake Up Your Stars and Your Starbucks Order!

Added on September 15, 2025 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Ever find yourself wondering if the cosmos is just as indecisive as you at the produce aisle—torn between cherries and fresh veggies but somehow craving both? Well, buckle up, because we’re smack dab between eclipses, right where the full moon waves goodbye and the new moon is gearing up for its grand entrance at 29 degrees Virgo. Imagine the celestial bodies as chatty neighbors, leaning over their fences, swapping cosmic gossip—except the Moon is that super-engaged mediator making sure everyone hears the juicy stuff, and that includes you, personally. This week? It’s not just dynamic; it’s a downright astronomical soap opera, with Mercury and Venus each switching sign costumes midweek, shaking up how we think, feel, and appreciate everything around—and yes, that includes your awkward Zoom calls and the way you judge your morning coffee. Plus, relationships are getting their own juicy subplot thanks to Jupiter and Scorpio’s passionate Juno stirring the pot. Want to navigate this swirling astro-market and avoid celestial confusion? Dive in—because with so many moving parts, it feels like the stars might just write their own rom-com. LEARN MORE

fruit and vegWe’re in between eclipses, between a full moon ending and a new moon beginning, with most celestial bodies at the end or beginning of a sign. Those bodies address each other, and the Moon connects their impact: to each other, to all of us, and to each of us personally. Then Sunday they culminate with the new moon eclipse at 29 degrees Virgo. “Dynamic” is an understatement.

Honestly, it’s almost too much to be as specific as usual. I haven’t seen this many strong, multiple contact aspects in AGES. In addition, Mercury and Venus change sign, Thursday and Friday morning respectively. Mercury spends the week in Virgo, a sign it rules, then moves to Venus-ruled Libra. Venus spends the week in Sun-ruled Leo, then heads into Mercury-ruled Virgo. We think, assess, sense, and appreciate things differently over the course of the week. Making these connections leads to more complex and externally rooted connections which bloom outward into all corners of our lives — and the lives of others.

There’s no place for thinking only of oneself here, or rather not for thinking of oneself and leaving it at that. Jupiter is less connected this week, but it also ties into the dynamism of the quick-moving Moon; and it lightly ties into a trine with Scorpio Juno which keeps things juicy, passionate, and engaging. We’re here for the growth that relationships ultimately foster.

Monday’s Cancer Moon glides through the empty mid-degrees, but flow is the key word to shoot for. Leo Venus perfects its sextile to Libra Mars, Virgo Mercury sextiles Scorpio Juno, then Venus squares Juno, all in short succession in the night. A teaspoon of drama sparks a whole lot of exposition and movement, so lean into the opportunities digging up clues and moving your pieces on the board. Seriously, this is not the day to lie around. It would be a big waste of excellent possibilities. Even picking up a book will work wonders if that is the medium open to you.

Overnight, Mercury quincunxes retro Chiron in Aries with Venus following with a trine to Chiron. The Cancer Moon conjoins Jupiter, and Mars opposes Chiron. If you’re sleeping, growth is a neurological event. If you’re awake, possibility because or owing to the fact you’re awake, putting two and two together gives you the bounce you need to go make four.

Tuesday’s Cancer Moon then sextiles the Virgo Sun, trines Juno, squares retro Chiron and Mars (a t-square), sextiles Mercury, trines retro Saturn in Pisces, then heads into Leo to trines retro Neptune in Aries, sextile retro Uranus in Gemini, and oppose retro Pluto in Aquarius. With the Moon in Cancer, the mood fascilitates turning up the last squeaky wheels that need some grease. That t-square is troubling… but useful. Overcoming inertia takes strength of body and heart. Be ready to initiate what must be done. Once in Leo, fire fuels follow through, and reality is malleable. It’s intense, but it can be intensely rewarding.

Wednesday, the Leo Moon opposes Pallas Athena in Aquarius, but once again, it hits the empty mid degrees. Mercury perfects its opposition to retro Saturn, so obstacles are there to investigate and teach. Or you can lean into the warmth of the mood and lie on a sunny rock attracting insight and aha moments.

Mercury moves to Libra Thursday morning, and perfects its opposition to retro Neptune by afternoon. Leave room for insights that arise without tangible proof. What are those? Something that’s happening in reality but you can’t account for. Something you happily imagined that shows up in another form.

Thursday night’s Leo Moon then trines retro Chiron and sextiles Mars into the night. Mercury trines retro Uranus and retro Pluto as they do. A powerful, airy grand trine is the mental engine as the mood pursues present inklings of mastery and success. Have a little fun and learn as you do.

Friday morning, Venus alights in Virgo, discerning and improving its surrounding. Before it does, the last degree Leo Moon conjoins Leo Venus, and the Moon precedes it into the next sign. Their conjunction at the last minute of the last degree feels like a miracle.

The mood roars with pleasure (or impending enlightenment), as the two head to Virgo and move through the point of a yod from Saturn-Neptune and Pluto. Volcanic, reality shifting. Together they square retro Uranus. It feels like anything can happen, a new slate to fill. Wants and needs align and pulse. The unknown is anxiety producing, but anxiety that pays off is called sparkle. Don’t be afraid to step up and sparkle.
