The higgledy-piggledy vibes of eclipse season continue this week as we float through another seven days of rapid change.
Mercury and the Sun mean business, and most of us will be firing on all cylinders, wanting to get stuck in, tidy up, refine, cull, organise. But there’s another player in the wings: Saturn. Saturn is the planet of restrictions and delays, and he is right up in everyone’s grill this week, like a stern schoolteacher asking, “Have you checked your work? Are you sure it’s ready?”
As much as you’re craving momentum, this is not the week for it. No amount of long and involved brainstorms with friends or ChatGPT will help you get any closer, unfortunately. It’s annoying, kind of like finally deciding on what you want to order only to discover that it’s closed when you open up Uber Eats. It’s not really anyone’s fault; it just is what it is.
So, save your breath and be ok with maybe having to settle for eggs on toast instead.
Horoscopes for the week of September 15-21, 2025:
ARIES AND ARIES RISING
The big themes being stirred up this eclipse season, potentially to do with your wellbeing, health or how you manage your time, could feel like they’re reaching breaking point this week. You’re in the mood to problem solve, but no matter how many different solutions you come up with, nothing seems to flow. Take the hint and quit pushing. You’re hitting a speed bump because whatever you’re cooking up isn’t quite ready to hatch.
Read the room and relax for a few days.
TAURUS AND TAURUS RISING
An ongoing tension with a friend or drama unfolding in their lives could take a lot of energy this week. You’re in the mood to play, but that doesn’t mean everyone else is having the same experience of this energy. If you’ve been trying to get a friend out of hibernation, save yourself the energy and leave the invites for later in the month. Right now, you’re not going to have any luck on that front, and although it’s not personal, you might feel like it is.
Cancel plans and do a face mask instead.
GEMINI AND GEMINI RISING
There’s a lot going on right now with eclipse season really hitting the core realms of your life. This week, things ramp up as the pressure builds between two competing priorities, like your commitment to family and your bigger professional ambitions. This is not meant to feel comfortable, so if you’re wondering why you’re feeling so drained by it all, take comfort knowing it’s not your imagination; things are intense right now. The rhythm will come, just not this week.
Switch track and focus on the things you can change instead, like your hair colour.
CANCER AND CANCER RISING
Is there anything more frustrating than feeling inspired to get on top of life admin, expense claims or other boring but essential things, but then not actually being able to make any progress? That’s kind of the feel this week. Despite your best intentions and vision for a truly organised desk or creative space, it just isn’t coming together. There’s a big ol’ roadblock in between you and your zhushy new space, and it ain’t going anywhere, at least not this week.
Quit pushing and drill into smaller tasks that will still tickle your “to-do list” itch without a complete workspace overhaul.
LEO AND LEO RISING
These eclipses have brought a lot of questions up around cash and how you manage your financial situation—including debt, credit cards and Afterpay. This week, all that digging or reassessing that’s been taking place reaches a turning point. You could get struck by some amazing moment of truth, but at the same time, you’re not going to have the means to actually do anything with it. That could feel like the most frustrating thing in the world when the solution finally seems so obvious. But the speed bump is not permanent. You will move past it. But the chances of it all coming together this week are slim to none.
So, cool your jets and keep getting your ducks in a line so that when the time comes, you’re good to go.
VIRGO AND VIRGO RISING
How’s that big clear-out going? Whether it’s relationships, your wardrobe or a whole new look, you are in the midst of a major overhaul. The good news is that this week, you should be able to get some clarity on how to move ahead. That will feel amazing. The bad news is you won’t really be able to do much about it. Decisions? Made! Progress? Zero. It won’t matter how much you hash it out with others or yourself; actual momentum just won’t happen.
Instead of fretting, take a load off, enjoy the moment of resolve and clarity and trust that your chance to get on with things is coming.
LIBRA AND LIBRA RISING
The skeletons in your closet come tumbling out this week as old hang-ups and insecurities raise their head and say, “Hi, remember me? Yeah, you might have thought you were done with me, but I’m still here!” No amount of spiritual bypassing or journaling will fast-track you past this one. You’re being asked to sit with what is and get comfortable with inertia. For an air sign, that is not a nice place to be. But it isn’t forever—just this week. It will feel like everything has ground to a halt, but trust that it isn’t permanent. So, follow suit and put your tools down.
There will be time for progress in the weeks and months to come.
SCORPIO AND SCORPIO RISING
There’s a flurry of action this week in your social scene, but it feels like it could be kind of a lot—especially if you’re feeling drained by the eclipse portal. Swooping in to rescue a friend might be your knee-jerk reaction, but this time it won’t matter how much you prop them up; you won’t be able to fix things for them. It could feel extremely infuriating when you can quite clearly see what needs to happen for things to improve, but this is not your rodeo.
Your lesson here is to experiment with being caring without taking on their “stuff” as your own.
SAGITTARIUS AND SAGITTARIUS RISING
You’re ready to make inroads, break ground and start digging your way out of something, maybe around your work or long-term career goals. It’s admirable and not necessarily a bad idea. But—and this is a big but—this week, your mission is to make peace with the fact that not every week will be as productive as you’d hoped. You’re inspired. You’re ready. You want to start. But now is not the time. Things are still in flux. The cards haven’t fallen exactly where they’ll lie, and you have a whole lot of other Responsibilities (with a capital R) that need your immediate attention. It’s annoying, but just the way it is.
Save yourself the heartache and park those Major Goals, at least until next week.
CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN RISING
Going slow isn’t something you’re afraid to embrace, but this week could be a test, even for you. The problem is, you’re feeling inspired, clear and ready to “fix”. Virgo season has got you good, and you’re on a mission to sort out all the loose ends and get to work. But the best laid plans of sea goats (your official symbol) often go awry. Things aren’t ready to lurch forward. It’s not to say they won’t ever, but this week, you’re better off just going back to the drawing board. Work on something manageable, something you can control and something small that doesn’t have huge expectations or anticipatory “I did it!” attached.
The time for victories and box-ticking will come—just not before Sunday.
AQUARIUS AND AQUARIUS RISING
Money continues to compete for your attention this week as you continue to spin your wheels around how to get things functioning more efficiently. Whether you’re consolidating debt or chasing down long-lost super, there’s a real drive to Get Things Done. If you haven’t already, this week it finally feels like you’re figuring things out and you know which way to go forward. But that’s not necessarily a green light to go forward. Yep, as much as you might feel ready to take charge, or at least blitz your to-do list, progress just isn’t on the cards. Roadblocks, speed bumps, “Wrong way go back” signs (literal or metaphorical) are rampant. While things just aren’t coming together, try not to get too disheartened.
It’s not all necessarily a sign that things won’t ever get off the ground. This week just won’t be the one to kick it all off.
PISCES AND PISCES RISING
You’re in the thick of it with eclipses shaking up all the core areas of your life. The people close to you could feel like they’re also in free fall, or you could find yourself pushed to jump into the fray and help them. You want things sorted out. A resolution means you can move forward. But even if you (or they) seem to have made up their mind, it’s not actually a green light to move onto the next chapter. This week, you’re being asked to dig in and stay still. Double check, ‘Is this really the right solution?’
Don’t rush it. It won’t help, anyway, so you may as well take the time to double down and figure out if whatever you’re rushing to rescue or resolve is really the best way to go.
