turn to face the change: 31 aug - 07 sep
the summer is fading and it seems we’re on a crash course with a big reality check. Eclipse season is blasting us with all those difficult truths we thought we could ignore by sitting in the sun, the gentle ocean waves caressing our ankles. 🌊🏖️
no longer.
it’s so 🔛 for a fate-tilting week. In the US we’ve gotten an extra day of weekend with the Labor Day holiday, but the heavier, stricter vibe of Virgo - and Saturn! - is palpable now. Saturn re-enters Pisces on Mon, Sept 1, asking for accountability in love and in life: fewer rose-tinted stories, more compassionate realism. Wed, Sept 3, Mercury in Virgo squares Uranus in Gemini—plans and conversations can zig when you expected a zag. Edit before you post, sleep on big messages, and watch the impulse to make a permanent choice from a temporary feeling.
when I think about Saturn, I think about resistance - times, the places, the people who have stood in my way and tried to tell me that I was “less than”. These are the blocks that linger and stay in our minds. toughen us and make us stronger, and push us to dig ourselves out of a bad spot.
by the weekend the energy deepens. Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini on Sat, Sept 6, stirring inner revelations about ideas, tech, and the stories you tell yourself. Then Sun, Sept 7 brings a total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces—a culmination that exposes illusions and invites release. Think: endings that set you free, truths that bring peace, boundaries that make room for real devotion. If emotions threaten to derail you, try to tap into Pisces compassion with Virgo discernment: feel it and fact-check it.
(There’s also a Mars–Jupiter tension late week: don’t over-function or over-promise to “keep the peace.” Speak your truth.)
Sign-by-Sign Guide
check out your sign (as well as Rising/Ascendant and Moon sign for your theme for the week, plus a new yoga asana to help you embody the lesson.
♈ ARIES
Theme: Secrets → sincerity → freedom
Old guilt or private disappointments lose their charge when you name them and choose self-forgiveness. Say the true thing kindly; let the body unclench.
Yoga pose: Eagle (Garuḍāsana) — unwind the “knots”; find clear vision through the wrap.
♉ TAURUS
Theme: Edit your circle, protect your joy
A karmic reckoning in your social sphere clarifies who nourishes you (and who drains you). Words hit harder midweek—count to ten.
Yoga pose: Supported Fish (Matsyāsana, prop-friendly) — open heart/throat; speak what’s real, not what’s rehearsed.
♊ GEMINI
Theme: Status shift with integrity
Career and relationship titles are in flux—define terms before they define you. Stability is sexy when it’s chosen.
Yoga pose: Side Plank (Vasiṣṭhāsana) — commit to your edge, build steady strength.
♋ CANCER
Theme: Beliefs under review
If values don’t line up, forcing agreement won’t fix it. Let truth widen the path, even if it changes the itinerary.
Yoga pose: Seated Spinal Twist (Ardha Matsyendrāsana) — see from all sides; release attachment to “one right view.”
♌ LEO
Theme: Power, trust, and the shared purse
Name the numbers, name the needs. Boundaries with generosity beat drama with guesswork.
Yoga pose: Boat (Navāsana) — core steadiness for clear agreements.
♍ VIRGO
Theme: Relationship reality check
Saturn and the eclipse spotlight partnership foundations. Repair is possible where sincerity meets effort; otherwise, release with grace.
Yoga pose: Half Moon (Ardha Chandrāsana) — balance + openness; collaborate without over-carrying.
♎ LIBRA
Theme: Radical self-care, zero apology
Your system is speaking—listen. Simplify inputs. Rest is not a luxury; it’s the strategy.
Yoga pose: Child’s Pose (Bālāsana) — recover the nervous system; receive, don’t perform.

Foundations, family, and space management headline. Secure your base; clarity in love follows.
Yoga pose: Garland (Malāsana) — ground through the feet; tend the roots.
♑ CAPRICORN

♒ AQUARIUS
Theme: Self-worth sets the price
If you’ve shrunk to fit, expand back to true size. Love that costs your value is too expensive.
Yoga pose: Warrior III (Vīrabhadrāsana III) — claim space with steady focus; strong back body, soft heart.

Identity upgrades rarely fit yesterday’s relationships. Trust the eclipse to retire what’s not aligned and reveal who is.
