Aries Aries

This eclipse portal strikes you in the heart of relationship terrain. With your ruler Mars in Libra, the looking glass is held before you — showing how you act, react, and lead in the presence of “the Other.” This is not about domination but about seeing clearly how partnership shapes you — and where your energy is lost in patterns of reaction. Mercury in Virgo is currently sextiling Jupiter in Cancer. This gentle yet meaningful alignment opens the connection between your home base and your daily routines. Conversations, insights, or realizations may arise that highlight how your private world and emotional well-being feed — or strain — your everyday flow. It’s a moment to notice where adjustments are needed. Mercury invites more dialogue, while Jupiter brings optimism and the bigger picture: even small changes in how you manage time, work, or self-care can ripple outward, creating greater emotional stability. The tone here isn’t dramatic, but it is supportive. Think of it as a chance to re-calibrate: to let your inner world and outer commitments harmonize rather than compete. Trust that the tweaks you make now will strengthen the foundation you stand on — and free up energy for what matters most.

On September 18, Mercury enters Libra, bringing attention to the dialogue around truth and balance; on September 19, Venus enters Virgo, refining your values and asking you to tend to the details of what really works in a relationship. By the time the Solar Eclipse at 29° Virgo arrives on September 21, you stand at a karmic edge: the anaretic degree asks you to finally untangle the knots and prepare to cross into a new frontier of becoming.

And then, as the currents surge with renewal, Mars enters Scorpio on September 22, turning your fire inward into the realm of shadow, intimacy, and Soul contracts. Almost immediately, Mars locks into a square with Pluto in Aquarius — Scorpio’s ruler. The square to Pluto turns this reflection into a clash of wills, forcing you to see what patterns of control and projection are derailing your desired journey. This isn’t a reckoning — it’s purification, stripping away dynamics that cannot survive the next stage of your evolution.

You are walking the edge in this anaretic portal. This is not about charging ahead, but about letting the lens of Libra and the purifying fire of Scorpio mold you into a truer version of yourself. Trust the breakdowns, lean into the conversations, and let the eclipse close the door on dynamics that weaken your life force. The spear you carry now must be keener, lighter, and more precise — not wielded in reaction, but in alignment with the high road of your destiny!

Easy does it now, Aries– “Rushing’s just a waste of time. (GoldFord)

Personal Message from Kristin

If the energy within my words feels different — more urgent, more direct, more on fire — it is because I am in the midst of completing a long-awaited project on the female warrior, the Amazon. In these pages I trace her fierce energy as she moves through every sign of the zodiac, revealing how she lives and breathes in each of us, with an intention to awaken the wild feminine within you. The aim is for you to harness the courage necessary to fearlessly go after what you came here to be and do. This work has been years in the making, and I look forward to sharing it with you in 2026.

Joy is a frequency. Gratitude is a portal. Together, they change everything! ~ Matt Cooke
