September 2025 Energy Forecast

Let’s get something straight:

Structure doesn’t mean safety → not if it’s built from fear.

And soul work doesn’t mean freedom → not if you’re using it to escape what’s real.

This month pulls us deep into the reckoning between what grounds us and what we’ve outgrown. With two eclipses, a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and a Solar Eclipse in Virgo, and it's also a Universal 9 month in numerology (endings, old cycles closing)...and yep September is the 9th month...PLUS, we are in a 9 Year! (Read more about the energy of the nine HERE) …wowzers...everything we thought was stable might start to feel shaky. Oof. Not because it's wrong, but because it’s too small for who we're becoming.

This month, the eclipses spotlight a wound most of us carry deep in our bones:

→ the belief that we are only safe if we sacrifice ourselves to the system.

Whether that system is family, work, spiritual identity, or even the role of “healer,” many of us have learned to disappear in order to survive. To over-give, over-structure, or dissolve ourselves into service just to feel like we belong.

September asks us to break that pattern.

The Pisces Full Moon Eclipse – September 7

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces cracks open the wound of disappearing to be safe.

This is the eclipse of unraveling. Expect emotional flooding, spiritual burnout, sudden clarity that shatters illusions. If you feel like you’re unraveling, it doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means you’re remembering the places where you abandoned yourself for belonging.

Pisces shows us where we’ve numbed out through roles and devotion — healer, mother, leader, partner — and where we’ve dissolved into “service” instead of staying rooted in self.

Healing Invitation:

Let the grief rise.

Witness the places where you disappeared.

Remember: dissolving is not the same as devotion.

The Virgo Solar Eclipse – September 21

Two weeks later, the Solar Eclipse in Virgo confronts the opposite wound: controlling to be safe.

Virgo exposes the scaffolding we’ve built to hold ourselves up — the rigid routines, the sacred-looking systems that are really fear-built survival structures. It asks: are your rhythms nourishing your nervous system, or draining it?

This eclipse is a reset. The chance to choose sacred structure over survival structure.

✨ Healing Invitation:

• Rebuild rhythms that are simple and sustainable.

• Anchor your practices in what supports your body + spirit, not just your identity.

• Release the belief that you must keep doing to deserve safety.

And yes, unfortunately it might feel messy. Messy is what's needed right now, because we have gotten far too comfortable in a stagnant...blah, blah...this is the way I've always done it type of mentality....

This month, let it all fall apart -on purpose!!! Eek. Can you imagine?!

We are not meant to keep offering from depletion, or to keep using systems that suppress what’s alive and beating in our chest!!

We are not meant to survive our way through sacred LIFE.

This month, we’re asked to:

• Feel the flood of truth (Pisces)

• Let go of outdated containers (Virgo)

• Rebuild structure that supports our nervous system + intuition (Virgo + Pisces)

Both eclipses are working together to dismantle one lie:
“I must sacrifice myself to survive.”

So we can live a life sacred balance.

Ritual for Eclipse Season:

“Clear the Weight, Call Back the Light”
A grounding + solar reconnection ritual with Black Tourmaline and Sunstone

✦ Intentions:

• To clear energetic and emotional heaviness-from overgiving, burnout, self-abandonment

• To anchor safety in your root

• To rekindle your inner light, confidence, and joy

• To integrate chaos into clarity and call back your soul's true rhythm

✦ What You’ll Need:

• 1 piece of Black Tourmaline

• 1 piece of Sunstone

• A candle (white or orange)

• Bowl of warm water (with sea salt if available)

• Pen + paper or journal

• Optional: grounding essential oil (vetiver, cedarwood, patchouli)

Step 1: Ground + Set the Field

• Sit quietly. Take 3 deep breaths.

• Hold the Black Tourmaline in your non-dominant hand (receiving side).

• Visualize a column of grounding light from your tailbone into the earth.

• Say aloud or silently:

  “I allow what is not mine to return to Source. I release the weight I’ve carried. I root back into myself now.

Step 2: Burn + Bury the Overload

• Light your candle.

• With Black Tourmaline beside you, journal on this prompt:

  Where have I been holding too much?
  What has become heavy, distorted, or unsustainable?
  What structures or beliefs are no longer sacred for me?

• Fold the paper. Place it under the Tourmaline.

• Say:

  “I return this energy to the Earth for transmutation. I no longer need to carry it.”

Step 3: Call Back the Light

• Hold your Sunstone over your Solar Plexus. Breathe into your belly.

• Visualize golden light awakening in your core, like a sunrise inside you.

• Speak aloud (or write):

  “I call back my light. My joy. My clarity. My creative spark.
  I reclaim my sacred fire — not to burn out, but to light the way.”

Step 4: Close + Integrate

• Affirmation:

  “I am grounded in truth, clear in power, and open to joy.
  I release what isn’t mine. I radiate what is.”

• Thank the crystals for their work.

• Extinguish the candle with gratitude.

• Leave the Tourmaline resting over your journal or list for a few hours or overnight.

• Carry the Sunstone with you over the next few days, especially if you're doing visibility work, calling back your joy, or shifting from depletion into radiance.
  
  ___________

September wants you to let yourself fall apart.
Then choose what actually supports your whole self - body, heart, and spirit.

That’s the only way forward now.
