A Reflective Week Before Big Shifts Arrive: The Astrology of September 29th – October 6th, 2025

Two hands hold a rectangular mirror with a woman's face reflected back representing the reflection to do with astrology this week.

New! Starting this week, we’ll take you all the way through the week and into the end of next Monday, so you’re not missing out on any important astrological info! 

This week kicks off with subtle but meaningful shifts as September rolls into October. While no huge planetary events take place over the week, the energy is still humming, especially with the Moon making key moves that push us to reflect, reset, and prepare. It’s a breather before next week’s fireworks, when the Aries Full Moon and Mercury entering Scorpio turn up the intensity. 

Think of this week as the calm before the storm: space to check in with yourself, fine-tune your plans, and build momentum. Now let’s get into it! 

We start with the Capricorn Moon, reminding you to think long-term and set yourself up with structure. The First Quarter Moon in Capricorn adds pressure to make adjustments with your path or goals. 

Ask yourself: Am I still aligned with where I’m going, or is it time to pivot?

The middle of the week lightens as the Aquarius Moon invites social connection and fresh perspectives. Mercury squaring Jupiter might scatter your focus, but it could also spark big, exciting ideas worth saving for later. Give yourself permission to explore without committing just yet.

By Thursday, inspiration feels smoother, and you may feel more at ease with your decisions. Friday’s Pisces Moon invites rest and healing energy. You may want to finish up something quietly or retreat a little to recharge. Use this time to release clutter, whether mental or emotional.

As the weekend arrives, passion stirs under the Pisces Moon. Saturday brings a surge of enthusiasm that helps you act on what excites you most. 

Try this reflection today: What action would feel most alive and meaningful to take right now?

Sunday’s energy continues the flow, with Jupiter adding optimism and expansion. This could open doors you weren’t expecting. Trust your instincts when an opportunity feels right.

And then comes Monday’s dramatic entrance: the Aries Full Moon combined with Mercury shifting into Scorpio. Expect bold moves, intense conversations, and raw truths. 

Next week will bring plenty of heat, but this week is your chance to set the stage with clarity and courage.
