General Daily Insight for September 01, 2025
A step back can be a good thing. Today, serious Saturn retrogrades back into mystical Pisces at 4:07 am EDT for the next six months, during which time we will be finetuning our intuition and inspiration. Meanwhile, the Moon in outgoing Sagittarius will trine chatty Mercury in expressive Leo, encouraging us to express ourselves without reserve. A more buttoned-down mood could ultimately prevail once the Moon marches into no-nonsense Capricorn, ushering in several days when we’ll be encouraged to play by the rules.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Take a step into your dreams. There is a bit of work still to be done as karmic Saturn retrogrades back into your 12th House of the Subconscious until next February, giving you another shot at clearing out old baggage or wrapping up any loose ends. This can also help you deal with your mental health in more sustainable and clear-sighted ways, so tend to your mind as much as you would your body. Likewise, make sure you’re getting plenty of sleep.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Take stock of your social circle. Masterful Saturn is returning to your 11th House of Social Networks for one final tour that will last into next February, during which time you may make some new decisions or confront some facts about the people you’ve chosen to stand at your side. Perhaps you have outgrown some of them — or maybe you need to work a bit harder to maintain these connections. Either way, Saturn will require you to face these matters head-on.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your goals require a second look. Saturn, the planet of work and structure, is backing up into your career sector for a final visit before leaving again early next year — not returning for nearly three decades. This transit will present you with a few opportunities to roll up your sleeves and make sure that you’re doing as much as you can to set yourself up for success. It may not be all fun and fireworks, but the rewards should be worth it.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
The world is as big as you make it. Today, Saturn returns for a final check-up regarding your 9th House of Expansion, reminding you that if you want to explore beyond the horizon, you will have to travel there yourself. Sometimes the world will indeed come to you, but this is more likely one of those times when you’ll have to go to it! Don’t sit back on your laurels when there is so much waiting for you to come and discover it.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
This is no time for being irresponsible — quite the opposite. You ought to be your most responsible self as Saturn returns to your 8th House of Shared Resources for the next six months, reminding you to uphold your end of every bargain and agreement. Beware of getting in over your head with things like debts or other heavy matters, because you won’t be able to shirk them or slip away easily. You must act with honor if you want others to treat you likewise.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Partnerships require effort. Your 7th House is coming into sharper focus as Saturn returns for one more visit that will last the next six months. During this time, you can make sure that the person sitting next to you, be it in the boardroom or the bedroom, is meant to be there, and that you’re both happy with the situation. This is no time for casual connections, no matter the context. Don’t waste energy on just anyone who comes along!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
It’s time to get your stars together, Libra! Fortunately, the planets will be forcing you to do just that as stoic Saturn retrogrades into your efficient 6th house for the rest of the year, turning your attention to the nuts and bolts of your life. Whether you’re clarifying your regular schedule, focusing on your health, or decluttering your life, it can’t hurt to organize and improve wherever you can. You don’t need to make major changes — small steps can yield powerful results.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Creativity is meant to be used, not hidden. Even if you don’t think of yourself as particularly artistic, there are all kinds of ways to express yourself. It’s time to delve in as karmic Saturn returns to your inspired 5th house. This six-month cycle wants you to put yourself out there in new ways, embracing your authentic soul and ensuring that your message and identity are properly aligned. This is no time to hide your light or make yourself smaller for others.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Structure isn’t fun, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. Masterful Saturn is returning to your foundational 4th house for a final, six-month tour, during which time you’ll want to make sure that the ground beneath your feet is as firm and solid as possible. Family relations or other domestic matters may need tending to, and you won’t be able to easily shirk them — even if you’d like to. The best way to start is by working from the ground up.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Refine your desired statements before picking up any bullhorns. Your ruler, Saturn, is backing up into your 3rd House of Communications until next February, making it more important than ever to say what you mean and mean what you say. You can also form new connections at this time, particularly those of a platonic nature, by aligning yourself with interesting people who can help you get clear on your own identity. Don’t ignore the day’s opportunities to express yourself more authentically.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Money is not the point of life, but it can still make things much easier. Saturn is returning to your income sector for six months before leaving for nearly three decades, giving you an opportunity to get your finances and material values in proper order. Whether that means making some wise investments, finding a new job that promises more stability, or setting up a proper savings account for yourself, now is the time to make it happen. Saturn rewards effort, but punishes laziness and inaction.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Growing up generally doesn’t occur overnight. That said, you may feel a dawning maturity or like you are reaching an important milestone as Saturn backs up into your sign for one last visit. This cycle will last into next February, then you won’t host Saturn for nearly three decades. Treat this as an important opportunity to become the most competent and capable Pisces you possibly can. The process may not be exciting, but it will prove incredibly rewarding when all is said and done.
