Aries Horoscope for September 2025

This is yet another difficult and consequential month for you, Aries. The alignment of transformative outer planet energies, speaking now of Pluto, and Uranus most particularly, with Saturn and Neptune also dramatically thrown in for good measure, has never been more fully activated in these recent and quite potent lunations than now. Something is coming to a head, both personally, individually, and with regard to the collective. Your inner intuition is extremely high and operating on multiple dimensions, so that your night-time dreams may be able to tell you more about your true priorities than your more conscious thoughts that follow along from this starting point. If this seems backwards to you, that is one major point right now, which is to reorganize your thinking and your focus to what really matters, that is to say, what only you alone can determine as true. The nattering of the so-called real world and of consensus thinking will only take you so far, a fact which is becoming more and more evident to you over the course of another quite incredible thirty days. Certain evidence of advancement might slow down or bring you to a stop entirely, and yet loads of spiritual progress is available. Your mission in terms of Higher Self is the key, as everything else drops away as the illusion that it has always has been.

The recent New Moon in Virgo from the last week of August has set the tone for September, bringing your focus to your sixth sector of health, wellness, habitual day-to-day habit patterns, and workplace environments. This Virgo lunation cycle runs for thirty days, or through the first three weeks of September, bringing your focus to your day-to-day habits, regimes, and wellness. The recent Virgo New Moon featured a powerful yod, or “Finger of God” aspect, focused on the Sun and Moon, which could inform the basis of a new practice, or continued attempt at the understanding of your identity, and how you interact with social networks. The yod pattern was underpinned by Pluto in Aquarius or your social sector, plus the tight ongoing conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in your sign, thus corresponding to your personal life and character. There is an additional quite powerful square from the New Moon to Uranus in Gemini, or your sector of mindset and communicative connection, adding focus to another life area. With Uranus highlighted there, your communication style, skills or sense of rapport with others is powerful, so that you could find new techniques or altered habits which lead you to be curious, or this also might apply to teaching or learning.
On Monday September 1st, your career sector ruler Saturn re-enters watery Pisces and your twelfth sector of unconscious process, retreat and recovery, signaling a shift in your understanding of professional successes and your own advancement, letting go of expectations around what you 'should' be accomplishing, and allowing your inner work greater prominence.

On the 2nd, Mercury enters Virgo, there to be co-present with the Sun. This could affect your logical mental process, curiosity, communication, and learning. At this ingress, Mercury is square Uranus and in aspect to nebulous Neptune and transformational Pluto, so that your intentions around routines, scheduled maintenance or your wellbeing could be pertinent and perhaps a talking point.

Also on the 2nd, Jupiter in Cancer and your fourth sector is simultaneously trine the North Node, indicating that your home and emotional roots compliment your daily rituals, routines, and the habits that support your wellbeing, while also aligning with subtle dreams or revelations within. Family or an understanding of your origins can enhance your unconscious process.

From the 3rd to the 4th, your ruling planet Mars, now in Libra and your seventh sector of relationships, squares Jupiter. This implies attention on important partnerships, either business or personal. You might be keen to collaborate or operate in partnership with others, as you get clearer on your own significant life mission as you are beginning to understand it. It’s possible attention on a significant other must be balanced with explorations of past history, or nurturing principles.

Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini on the 6th, amplifying the impact of this planet and perhaps brings surprise revelations around learning or information flow. During its station, standing dead-still for the moment in the sky, Uranus is trine Pluto, and sextile Neptune, bringing in ways of conceiving that are beyond the merely logical. This could be a time of new revelations that might factor in as your social connections and future goals continue to transform.

On the 7th, the Full Moon, which is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, illuminates your dreamy sector of unconscious inner process, respite and healing. This constitutes an important evolution which could be revelatory – you could be feeling into a new take on metamorphosis or unravelling. Rest is potentially a theme, and there may be significance around security, and a soft-landing pad. It’s possible you’ll be reminded of the ways it’s safe to withdraw, embracing growth around family and caretaking. You could also become more aware of your evolving identity, and ways you express who you are to people in your wider community, so that while this lunation is about closure and retreat, it could also speak to a new chapter for your character that’s evolving, thanks to Neptune in your sign.

The Last Quarter Moon in Gemini arrives on the 14th, as Mercury conjuncts the Sun in Virgo, your sector of workplace conscious habits, and health. With the Gemini Moon and Virgo Sun, the luminaries both answer to Mercury. This may be fortuitous and bring about a shift in your awareness of people in your surroundings, and a need to feel closely involved or in touch with kindred spirits. There could additionally be a call to engage with your schedule, practical interests, or job, aware of those around you in your environment.

On the 15th, Venus in Leo and your playful fifth sector is sextile Mars, in your seventh sector of relationships. A desire to co-create, with celebratory or romantic moments in partnerships could be important.

On September 17th, Mercury opposes Saturn, potentially bringing attention to routine upkeep, systems, admin and maintaining your part, yet perhaps also imposing a pause as you busy yourself in work settings. There may be an organized approach you’re employing, yet a call to pull back, using your imagination or intuition to get ahead.

On the 18th, Mercury enters Libra, arriving opposite Neptune in your sign. In the days that follow trines Uranus and Pluto forming the first of several grand trines in Air. This could be a strong, exciting time for your rapport, and comprehension in relationships of all kinds, with a sense of alliances, goals, and the company you keep, an awakening in language and communications, and also your individuality. How you present yourself could seem confusing, given the nebulous quality of Neptune, and your connection with a significant other might not be entirely clear.

On the 19th, Venus enters Virgo, creating the same yod aspect with Pluto and Neptune, as Mercury on the 2nd, and the New Moon of August, again with a square to Uranus. It may be easier to organize your role and finances and set about your job, yet you might also consider innovations among friends, or a change in the way you connect to ideas and information, which could prove distracting.

On the 21st, the second Virgo New Moon lands at the last degree of the sign, which is also a partial solar eclipse, making this another powerful lunation. The Sun and Moon oppose Saturn in the last degrees of Pisces, quite near t the beginning of your sign. This implies that limits or obstacles you may encounter at this timing, and their effect on your daily life and sense of who you are, become important. With Saturn slipping back into Pisces, the involvement of the planet of limits and boundaries affects your twelfth sector of the unconscious, and yet also continues to affect your own identity house, or first sector, by being so close, within 1.5 degrees. The Sun and Moon are also in a grand trine, though one degree out of sign, with Uranus in Gemini, your communication sector, and Pluto in Aquarius which corresponds to your sector of friendships, groups, and communal spirits. A key partner or figure could bring extra intel around this fresh start. You could reset your day-to-day routines, or shift your approach to professional systems, and wellness practices. It will be to your benefit to take another look at the way your evolving sense of who you are is contributing to your understanding of where you might be heading, as the difficulties and transformative process of this summer continue to unfold.

On the 22nd, Mars enters Scorpio and your eighth house of commitments or lasting alliances, and this may be a strong time to merge, or broach what’s shared, combined, entrusted or invested with others. The weeks that follow could see you developing loyalty and deepening an oath or contractual agreement. However, there is also to consider the square to Pluto during this Mars ingress, which may add transformational pressure, perhaps as you consider who you are in the wider context of your social scene or network.

The Libra Equinox arrives on this day too, as Sun enters Libra arriving there opposite Neptune, and forming another grand trine in Air with Uranus and Pluto. This brings the spotlight to collaborations and marriage partnerships, but also to your circle of friends, society and dynamic ways of being in touch with those around you. Welcome fun, creativity, play and romance between yourself and significant others, part of something beyond your individual nature.
