Some weeks arrive like a polite email reminder: “Just checking in.” Others storm your inbox with all-caps urgency: “FINAL NOTICE.” This week? It’s the latter, and the subject line reads: “Pisces Lunar Eclipse.”
But here’s the twist: instead of leaving you flailing, this eclipse links hands with Jupiter in Cancer, offering the rare gift of a soft landing. Endings still happen. Truth still gets unmasked. Tears may be shed—but you’re not drowning, you’re being rewritten. This is the kind of week that drags skeletons out of the closet, but also hands you a broom and a playlist to dance while you sweep.
Let’s break it down day by day so you can navigate with wit, wisdom, and just enough humor to keep you from throwing your phone at Mercury.
Monday, September 1 – Saturn Retrograde in Pisces
Mood: Existential swamp with a side of déjà vu.
Event: Saturn re-enters Pisces, pulling us back into the undertow.
Think of Saturn retrograde like a karmic tax auditor. Just when you thought you’d buried those emotional receipts—surprise! He wants to see your files. Old grief resurfaces, spiritual shortcuts fail, and the fog thickens. You might feel heavier, sleep more fitfully, or crave silence like it’s chocolate.
Constructive use:
Instead of dodging discomfort, lean in. Journal the themes that resurface. Name the boundary leaks (time, money, emotional energy) that Saturn is spotlighting. If your “self-care” routine has been Netflix and nachos, it’s time to graduate to boundaries and sleep hygiene.
Action step: Write down one area where you’ve been spiritually bypassing. Then ask: What am I avoiding by keeping this fog alive?
Tuesday, September 2 – Mercury enters Virgo
Mood: Spreadsheet chic.
Event: Mercury—the ruler of Virgo—comes home, caffeinated and ready to alphabetize your chaos.
The mental gears click in. You suddenly notice the dust on the baseboards, the typo in your pitch deck, or the inefficiency in your email funnel. Precision is the vibe. But beware: this clarity can easily curdle into nitpicking and perfection paralysis.
Constructive use:
Clean up systems, not people. Build checklists, edit your content, streamline your calendar. But resist the urge to tell your best friend how she should load her dishwasher.
Action step: Pick one task you repeat weekly and write a three-step checklist for it. Congratulations—you’ve just saved Future You hours of frustration.
Wednesday, September 3 – Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini
Mood: MacGyver meets Sherlock Holmes on espresso.
Event: Mercury’s precision crashes into Uranus’ chaos. Expect static, glitches, and breakthroughs disguised as breakdowns.
This is the day your computer updates right before your Zoom call—or the day a random conversation delivers the exact idea you needed. Mental energy is electric, erratic, and slightly feral.
Constructive use:
Don’t cling to perfect plans; experiment. If something crashes, salvage the innovation hidden inside. That “ruined” schedule may actually free you to discover a smarter workflow.
Action step: Keep a notebook handy. Every wild, random idea that flies through your brain? Write it down. Today’s scribbles may be tomorrow’s genius.
Thursday, September 4 – Mars in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer
Mood: Self-righteous crusader chic.
Event: Mars, the planet of action, butts heads with Jupiter, planet of overdoing it.
It’s easy to overextend in the name of “fairness.” You might pick fights for justice (noble), but forget strategy (messy). Passive-aggressive heroism thrives: “I don’t mind doing everything for you—but I’ll be silently furious about it.”
Constructive use:
Choose battles worth fighting. Courage is noble; martyrdom is just theatre. If you feel the need to prove yourself as “the good guy,” check your motives.
Action step: Ask yourself before taking action: Am I doing this because it’s right, or because I want to be right?
Friday, September 5 – Moon in Aquarius
Mood: Detached brilliance.
Event: The Moon shifts into Aquarius, favoring logic, innovation, and group dynamics.
Feelings go into the freezer for 48 hours. You may crave independence or geek out on progressive ideas. This is fantastic for brainstorming sessions, system upgrades, or tech troubleshooting—but less stellar for candlelit romance.
Constructive use:
Step back and look at your emotional patterns like a researcher. Ask: What’s the data here? Sometimes objectivity heals more than a hug.
Action step: Poll a trusted group chat about a problem. Collective insight trumps solitary spiraling.
Saturday, September 6 – Uranus Retrograde in Gemini
Mood: Mental rewiring with a side of déjà vu.
Event: Uranus turns retrograde, rattling the sign of Gemini.
Expect communication glitches, déjà vu conversations, or old ideas resurfacing. This isn’t chaos for chaos’s sake; it’s a liberation process. You’re being shown where your thinking has been programmed by someone else’s script.
Constructive use:
Audit your mental inputs. Whose voice is echoing in your head—yours, or someone else’s? Delete, mute, unsubscribe. Think of it as spring cleaning for your brain.
Action step: Write down one “truth” you’ve carried since childhood. Then ask: Do I still believe this, or was it installed by someone else?
Sunday, September 7 – Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (trine Jupiter in Cancer)
Mood: Emotional release with a safety net.
Event: The Pisces Lunar Eclipse cracks illusions wide open. But unlike most eclipses, this one trines Jupiter, giving us grace instead of chaos.
Expect heightened sensitivity, tears, and big releases. Old grief may surface—but it comes with the gift of meaning. This is the day to let go of ancestral baggage, forgive yourself, and recognize that endings can be blessings in disguise.
Constructive use:
Channel emotions through ritual. Take a bath, journal, or cry it out. Don’t just feel the release—seal it with an act of compassion for yourself.
Action step: Write down one repeating emotional pattern you’re ready to end. Burn, shred, or flush it. Say aloud: This chapter closes; my energy returns to me.
Motivational Takeaway
This week may feel like standing in the tide—waves knocking you off balance, salt stinging your eyes. But remember: every undertow that pulls you down also teaches you how to resurface stronger. Saturn demands boundaries, Mercury demands clarity, Uranus demands flexibility, Mars demands courage, and the Pisces Eclipse demands release.
Your job? Don’t cling to what’s ending. Don’t fight the tide. Instead, surf it—with humor, honesty, and the knowledge that Jupiter has your back.
You’re not unraveling. You’re rewriting. And the story gets better from here.
