NorthPoint Journal Your guide to planetary energies for September 8 to 14, 2025 by Astrologer Pam Younghans. "The wave of energies that have wafted in with the September 7 eclipse are helping wash away our attachment to what we once clung to in order to feel safe—the attitudes, the need to control, the rigid rules, the protections. As we tap into these Piscean energies, it becomes far easier to surrender to the higher flow. This letting go is especially vital leading up to the Solar Eclipse on September 21; that lunation will be a South Node eclipse in the very last degree of Virgo, representing the completion of a major karmic cycle.

From NorthPoint Journal... Your guide to planetary energies for September 8 to 14, 2025... by Astrologer Pam Younghans...ECLIPSE CORRIDOR: We have now entered the Eclipse Corridor, that two-week period between eclipses when life-changing events tend to occur and life may seem quite surreal. The sense of being untethered is especially strong with our recent Total Lunar Eclipse / Full Moon being in oceanic, mystical Pisces. The wave of energies that have wafted in with the September 7 eclipse are helping wash away our attachment to what we once clung to in order to feel safe—the attitudes, the need to control, the rigid rules, the protections. As we tap into these Piscean energies, it becomes far easier to surrender to the higher flow. This letting go is especially vital leading up to the Solar Eclipse on September 21; that lunation will be a South Node eclipse in the very last degree of Virgo, representing the completion of a major karmic cycle. SUN, MERCURY, AND THE SOUTH NODE: We will likely have plenty of opportunities to observe old karmic patterns in action this week as the Sun and Mercury both conjoin the Virgo South Node. The Sun will shine a light on unhealthy habits such as overanalyzing, fault-finding, nervousness, excessive worry, and basing our well-being on the ability to control outcomes. With Mercury conjunct both the Sun and the South Node, our minds may easily fall into old mental ruts, so mindfulness practices are especially helpful now. It will be essential to use our powers of discrimination regarding news and other information we receive. Questions we can ask ourselves include: Does this communication help me view life from a higher perspective, or does it keep me overly focused on how things could go wrong? Does this conversation open my heart and inspire my compassion, or does it stir up old patterns of blame? Does my internal dialogue support my faith in a greater plan and my ability to trust in positive outcomes, or does it feed fear and worry? The spiritual work we do this coming week, as we reflect on these questions, will greatly assist our personal soul growth as well as the overall evolution of humanity. Our efforts to instill new patterns of thought and behavior will also prove to be very helpful as we move through the South Node eclipse in two weeks' time.
