From August New Moon to September 2025 Eclipses

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Recently on SO'W we discussed A New Moon for Ghislaine @00Virgo which conjoined fixed star Regulus. As you can see in its Horoscope, the August 23, 2025 New Moon and royal Regulus were both apex of a crisis-laden YOD, a pattern that can contain health implications, a turning point, and/or a karmic opportunity. Turns out that after her discussion with Tr*mp lawyer Todd Blanche in July, Maxwell was relocated to a more comfy prison in Texas where she can freely roam.

If you wish, see Todd Blanche meets with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Because fortunately for her, Maxwell's natal Uranus, planet of freedom and independence, was also apex of the two pairs of sextiled planets at the base of the August 23rd YOD: Saturn-Pluto and Neptune-Pluto. Of course, this is the case because Saturn and Neptune are very close together (00-2 Aries) as they align to meet in Great Conjunction on February 20, 2026 at Aries Point (chart shown).

Horoscopes: Eclipses and Lunations August into September 2025

On the dual image, below, with astro-notes penned on, you'll find brief potentials of the complex YOD pattern when read as midpoint pictures and activated by Saturn-Pluto (cruelty; hardship; violence) and Neptune-Pluto (Organized crime - you know, like child sex trafficking rings, drug importation, distribution and sales, plus, other subversive activities and intrigues such as being kidnapped off US streets and deported - without due process):

Then here's the 9 New South Solar Eclipse in health sign Virgo (worries surface about health and/or paperwork - Brady) at a critical 29th degree which perfects hours prior to Autumn Equinox 2025.

General Eclipse Notes are listed (in Earth signs, in 8th house, planetary aspects to the Eclipse) and sprinkled about the chart including Sun-Pluto (swellings!) and, at the bottom edge of the horoscope you'll find health-related potentials for heart neurosis (Sun-Uranus) and Moon-Uranus' prostate diseases (R. Ebertin):

Finances, Currency, and the Sept 2025 Eclipse

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Remember when we took a look at the Lehman Brothers Crash Full Moon of September 2008 across the Virgo-Pisces victim-savior axis and how the March 14, 2025 Lunar Eclipse landed upon and perhaps stimulated it by degree? As we know, secrets and inconvenient facts are difficult to keep hidden under the influential rays of a Lunar Eclipse!

Well, considering how the US economy is being weakened under the Tr*mp regime, and the US dollar as reserve currency is under threat, let's take a look at the September Solar Eclipse which may be categorized as an Autumn Equinox 2025 Solar Eclipse at the critical, impulsive 29th degree of Virgo because the eclipse perfects a day prior to the Equinox (see upper right corner for details); a karmic YOD pattern of crisis is also present pointing toward the 9th house Mars at a 29th degree:

Visible in the chart are the social safety net duo of planets opposing the Eclipse:

Saturn which indicates those who refuse to own up to their responsibilities and place blame on anyone but themselves, and Neptune (conjunct Aries Point) suggesting the tiresome stand-off between reality vs fantasy, delusion and self-delusion, and the chaos and confusion such twisted conditions activate and made worse by bad faith actors, cultists, anarchists, and saboteurs, both foreign and domestic.

My astro-notes are penned on the chart for the curious reader, and here are the Themes of all 9 New South Solar Eclipses:

9 New South: long-term worries surface concerning health and/or loved ones; issues regarding paperwork or communications; worrisome news with a sense of destiny or fatedness attached; and/or responsibilities with paperwork come home to roost; initial 9NS July 19, 1917 @25Can51 (conjunct US 1776 Mercury = logic required for best results); 9NS is the Prenatal Eclipse Series of Charles Koch.

9NS Eclipses also occurred in the years 1917, 1935, 1953, 1971, 1989, 2007, (2025), and next in 2043.

SS Act's Eclipse repeats Sept 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Threatened since the day the bill was signed, the Social Security Act of 1935, and the money We the People have paid into the fund through the decades via taxes, are now at risk more than ever before as Republicans seem to have accomplished their long-term goal to beggar and deplete our nation, people, and the US economy. Call this what you wish, but I call it a heist by a gang of robbers. Their cruelty and sadism are additional features.

Now the Social Security Act that set up the popular social safety net program (Saturn-Neptune - soon to conjunct at Aries Point in February 2026) was signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on August 14, 1935 under the auspices of a 9 New South Solar Eclipse which had perfected a couple of weeks earlier on July 30, 1935 @6Leo17 - conjunct America's 1776 North Node showing that karmic progress was being made. And as we both know, progress is exactly what regressive Republicans are determined to stifle in America - leading to a backward society and to more money for their thieving! Why, even the gold in Fort Knox is under threat now for like the Naz*s of old, gold is excellent for funding whatever Reich needs financing. Even if it's a "unified Reich" as a a certain someone called it, then pretended he didn't.

And so as a reminder, from his 1937 Inauguration Address here's FDR's famous, "the test of our progress": "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." But of course, adding to the abundance of those who have much is what Mump, Tusk, and the rest of the plutocrats are all about - no matter who suffers.

Two Horoscopes, One Saros Series: 9 New South; both charts set for Washington DC:

The main point is that during this major assault on our SS benefits, the themes of the 1935 Eclipse will be spotlighted once again by the 9 New South Eclipse of September 21, 2025 @29Vir05 - basically an Autumn Equinox Eclipse except that the Sun hasn't quite reached 00Lib00:00. For comparison, view a dual image of the Autumn Equinox 2025 chart and the 9 New South Eclipse chart of 2025 here.

9 New South Themes:

Bringing to the surface long-term worries about loved ones, health, or issues to do with paperwork or communications; this could manifest as a worrying piece of news about a loved one or responsibilities with paperwork coming home to roost; any news will have a sense of fatedness or destiny attached (paraphrasing B. Brady, Predictive Astrology #ad).

Autumn Equinox 2025 with a Virgo Eclipse

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Skipping ahead to Autumn Equinox 2025, we find that a 9 New South Solar Eclipse enters the cosmic mix. This celestial circumstance will need further information added at some point but for now, I want to place a dual image of two DC Horoscopes: Autumn Equinox 2025, aka, Libra Ingress (lower left), and the 9 New South Eclipse (upper right) which will manifest the afternoon prior to the Sun clocking in @00Lib00:00 on September 22, 2025.

For as you know, the sign shift marks the beginning of Autumn 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere, so here are the two Horoscopes, Equinox and Eclipse of September 2025, with a few astro-notes sprinkled about for curious readers:

When a Solar Eclipse falls in Mercury-ruled Virgo, issues may include discrimination, circumspection, and the work ethic. On a positive level, we notice attributes such as dedication and a strong sense of duty. And since Virgo is one of the practical Earth signs, there may be physical demands, an analytical approach to problems will likely be deemed necessary, and perception and keen observation should be used for best results.

More negatively, Virgoan issues of criticism, perfectionism, and a focus on insignificant details can interfere with finding solutions. Obviously, health concerns, including chronic and/or genetic conditions, dietary matters, and the possibility of contagion are factors which must be dealt with, along with the typical implications of the Virgo-Pisces polarity (victim-savior). Additionally, agricultural issues and food supply concerns cannot be ruled out of the autumnal Virgoan picture, a time of harvest.

Plus, complicating matters are two planets opposing the Eclipse:

Saturn which indicates those who refuse to own up to their responsibilities and place blame on anyone but themselves, and Neptune (conjunct Aries Point) suggesting the tiresome stand-off between reality vs fantasy, delusion and self-delusion, and the chaos and confusion such twisted conditions activate with the aid of bad faith actors.

Naturally, our social safety net programs are denoted by the Saturn-Neptune pairing (weak-poor-ill people), as is materialism vs idealism, and/or invisible or shadow government.

Now while it's true that all the potentials of a 2025 Virgo Solar Eclipse relate to someone's first term in the White House, such an extensive topic is beyond the scope of this post at this early date. However, please check the image for a brief listing of the themes of 9 New South Eclipses.

Meanwhile, if this post entertains or informs you, dear reader, please consider buying yours truly an encouraging cup of coffee because this will help defray domain fees and supply costs and will keep Stars Over Washington moseying into its 19th year as of this October.

Thanks a Bunch! jc
