Astrology, Tarot and More

October is one of the nicest months of 2025.  Pluto turns direct, Neptune retrogrades into Pisces and....drumroll....we have Grand Trines galore in the skies! The more trines, the more harmony the stars promise - in world affairs but also for initiating specific undertakings.

Things are quiet in the skies this week - and we need it after the tense eclipse season! Watch out for sales pitches that are too good to be true mid-week.  Chances are, they ARE too good to be true.

My Venus is in Libra, so a part of me is always connected to this charming, diplomatic, and - let's face it - at times indecisive sign of the Zodiac.

Curated by an astrologer, this gift guide will help you find that special gift for your Libra friend or a loved one. Or, if you're a Libra yourself, you might see something that speaks to you here.

Enjoy!

The Sun enters Libra, Mars marches into Scorpio and immediately butts heads with Pluto, and the stars align into a beautiful Kite pattern (you will want to know if your birthday is this week!) 

The Sun enters Libra on September 22, 2025 at 11:19 a.m. PDT.  It’s our annual reminder to focus on relationships, the sense of fairness, learning to become more assertive or decisive if we need to, and bringing more beauty into your life – whatever “beauty” means to you!

Virgo Season is about embracing your inner planner and organizer who is oh-so-efficient! Virgo or not, how can you best apply its energies in your professional field or business? 

This week starts with supportive energies for love and relationships.  Then, the eclipse energies start building, leading to the Solar Eclipse on Sep. 21.  And wow, the spectacular planetary alignments this eclipse makes!  

This New Moon is also a powerful Solar Eclipse !

Eclipse Season is a powerful portal.  Timelines bend. The future becomes the present, and the present powerfully shapes the future.  Past hurts, disappointments and karmic debts can be purged and released once and for all.

But, here is the thing.  You have to be INTENTIONAL about all this.  This eclipse is in Virgo, so be intentional about building daily routines that support your goals in this lifetime - and beyond! 

This week brings a bit of a lull between two eclipses, and some excellent energies for contracts, negotiations, and other Mercury-related pursuits.  But, there is more! 

September is super eventful astrologically!  It brings the eclipse season, an unstable but powerful portal that can take you years into the future if it connects with your natal chart just right.  Saturn re-enters Pisces, for the last time until 2052!  And Uranus turns retrograde. 

It was February 1999, and I was sitting in the kitchen staring at the phone, feeling like my world was shattering around me, in a slow motion.  I just found out that my husband was having an affair. 

Unbeknownst to me (I hadn't started working with eclipses yet), my natal chart - and my life - was being rocked by 3 eclipses that year.

What an eventful week!  Saturn re-enters Pisces, Uranus turns retrograde, and the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces arrives.
