The Nurtury

09/17/2025

A line is being drawn in the heavens. The door is being closed and you're going to have to decide if you're in or out when it comes to a certain situation in your life. If you decide to leave then that's it. You've said your goodbyes. You've done everything that there is to be done and so you will be moving forward in your life.

And if you decide to stay with that situation – to give it another chance or to persevere – then you will have to see things through to the end. You will have to shoulder the responsibility or honor the obligation.

And that's what happens when there's a Solar Eclipse at the last degree of Virgo opposite retrograde Saturn at the last degree of Pisces. In some ways it can be intimidating because there's no going back and changing things, yet in other ways it can also be tremendously liberating because you know that your mind is made up; you are centered in who you are and committed to whatever comes next.

On September 21, the New Moon in the last degree of Virgo coincides with a solar eclipse (Saros Cycle 154). It is opposite Saturn and Neptune and forms a grand trine with Uranus and Pluto. The exact kite figure formed a few days earlier with Mercury appears again. One day later, the Sun enters Libra (equinox), reaching exact opposition to Neptune on the 23rd and exact trine to Uranus and Pluto on the 24th. Mars, which enters Scorpio on the 22nd, squares Pluto on the 24th.

This New Moon could bring some challenges, even though the kite figure indicates the potential for harmonious realization. For something new to emerge, the old and outdated must make way. Without a vision for the future, this can be a worrisome process.

The opposition between Saturn/Neptune and Sun/Moon indicates disorder and confusion. Things that have worked well so far may suddenly show signs of disruption for reasons that are not always apparent. Readjusting processes and systems requires patience and attention, whether in everyday life or business matters.

The tension between Mars and Pluto indicates a need to let go of unnecessary and superfluous things, voluntarily or involuntarily. Health issues are also a focus during this time. Pay particular attention to a balanced diet now.

Take enough time to make decisions during this period, and don't let stress or fears put you under pressure. It is a good time to examine where you invest unnecessary energy in relationships, business, or other things that ultimately no longer serve you. If you recognize such attachments in your life, consciously letting go can create the space where the seeds for something new can find the best conditions for growth. -Astrodienst

"You have a dragon coming over for dinner. What are you going to do? Well, what do you do when anybody comes over for dinner? You clean the house. You make room for the guest. You get ready to receive." — Gary Caton on navigating eclipse energy, Astrology Hub Podcast

Are you feeling like life is asking you to let go of something you're not ready to release? Maybe you're sensing that big changes are coming, but you're not sure how to prepare … or if you even want them? If so, you're definitely not alone. I had an incredible conversation with astrologer Gary Caton on the Astrology Hub Podcast about the current eclipse window we're moving through, and he shared insights that could completely reframe how we can approach any major life transition during eclipse season.

The truth is...we're in dragon territory right now. 🐉Gary describes eclipses as dragons coming to visit us~ powerful forces of change that arrive whether we're ready or not. Instead of just bracing for impact, we can actually prepare for these dragons like we would any important guest.

Your Eclipse Navigation Toolkit ⚡

Eclipse energy can feel overwhelming, but Gary offers three practical approaches:

🧹 Clear Space Before the Change Arrives: Take inventory of what's cluttering your life. It could be old commitments, relationships that have run their course, habits that no longer serve you, or limiting self-beliefs. By consciously releasing what's already stagnant, you can create space for new opportunities to enter with more ease.

🙏 Accept What You Can't Control: Instead of trying to manage every detail of unfolding changes, practice sitting with uncertainty. Ask yourself: what would I do if I lost this thing? How would I respond? Using this time as a kind of mental rehearsal can help loosen your grip and reduce the shock of unexpected shifts.

🚪 Look for the Invitation Within the Disruption: Even when changes feel unwanted, there's often a deeper invitation to step into something that aligns more fully with who you're becoming.

The key eclipse season insight? We can choose to participate consciously in change rather than just endure it. ✨

As Gary put it: "Maybe if I clear some space, then this new energy that's coming in will be more welcome. And I won't need that random injection of whatever, because a dragon's going to come in and its tail is going to hit stuff and stuff's going to go flying."

We've all had those moments where change feels chaotic and random... ...kind of like a dragon's tail knocking things over. 🐉
But when you participate consciously in the process, you get to choose what goes and what stays.

This is a great time to remember that life is happening for you ...

The dragon is coming to dinner whether...we're ready or not. 🐲
And you get to choose how you set the table.

Of course, the context of how this is showing up in your life depends on your personal chart ... you could be experiencing this yourself and/or witnessing it in others around you.

With love, 💫

"Don't play with your food" and MANY things we were taught to do (or not to do) without thinking.... THINK for yourself... make every day YOURS!!! The world doesn't need copies of copies... (remember #4 in Multiplicity?) - it needs authentic YOU!

Kindness is the one vibration that transcends all barriers. It needs no translation. No explanation. No conditions. Everyone can speak its language.

A gentle smile, a compassionate word, an open energy … these small ripples of kindness move through the world in ways we will never fully see.

When we choose kindness—especially in moments when it’s not easy—we step into our highest expression. We raise the vibration and remind ourselves and others that love is always the answer.

Today, let your practice simply be kindness. Let it flow in your words, your actions, your energy. The world feels it… even when you don’t see it. This is the power of your ripple.

This eclipse portal is a POWER-FULL one... what old habits are YOU deep-digging into?

I was drawn to looking at Memories today and thought: wow, what powerful places on the same day...how can I match that? The answer came swiftly and loudly. Our real power is within. Travelling to magnificent places is a wonder-full experience, but so should be HOME, if we are consciously aware and grateful for the everyday 'little things' that make up most of our lives! Create a great one! Today, every day! It doesn't take planning or money, just awareness and appreciation!
