“These are times that can't be weathered And we have never been back there since then” Rilo Kiley in Asheville on the anniversary of Helene, and it felt like the rapture! “Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go I'm ready to go Ready to go Ready to go Ready to go I'm ready to go”

I used to love the rain.

How do we get unstuck? A story for the Moon/Mars last quarter square with Pluto out of bounds. www.sabianraineastrology.com/post/difficu...

It’s the season of balancing, and Mars is applying to a last quarter square with Pluto. Where are you in this scenario? Photo by Clément Gerbaud, Unsplash

Where I’m finding inspiration leading up to tomorrow’s eclipse.

Currently reading Gliff by Ali Smith, and the italicized pages at the start of the Power section have become a mantra for me: “the great grey mountain of mistreatment and misuse…still doing the work for the people and the things of the world robbed of who they are”

Triple yod energy is present—release points at the first degree of Pisces (for Venus); Chiron rx (for Mars); and the eclipse point for Saturn rx/Neptune rx. Do not let wounds fester. Cleanse, clear, rest.

What do we do with that which we cannot stomach? Solar eclipse at the anaretic degree sabianraine.substack.com/p/down-to-ea...

Saturn rx in Pisces opposite Mercury in Virgo: unbridled restrictions on speech.

Mars in Libra opposite Chiron rx in Aries: take heed of equivocation especially when it erases identity or lived experience.

Waiting is a practice.

Finally, the rain

The Gemini Moon is separating from a square with the lunar nodes and Sun/Mercury. What has been the emotional cost of purity culture? What does it feel like to practice compassion?

Just what I hear Bone crunching crickets chirping the whir of an air purifier and underneath a settling of anxious (almost wrote ancient) pathways Sabian Raine 1:43 pm, 9/8/25 Pisces Moon conjunct Saturn retrograde

The Lunar Nodes stationed direct with the Moon conjunct the North Node exactly five hours after the peak of yesterday’s lunar eclipse. The Nodes move direct until Wednesday as the Sun conjoins the South Node.

Reflections What do you see? What do you remember? Is it the past or the future?

From studying Marsquakes: “Although its core has a similar structure (to Earth), Mars lacks a magnetic field.” -NYT Seems about right!

This week brings a series of planetary moves and adjustments that prepare us for what’s to come. It may feel like a visit to the chiropractor. open.substack.com/pub/sabianra...

This bear is posing.

Tomorrow’s Uranus-Neptune sextile is the first since 1968. Just let that sink in. This is a crescent sextile where the 66-68 phase was last quarter sextile. Plus, we’re dealing with Gemini & Aries vs. Virgo & Scorpio.This is about waking up to information distortion; that was the breakdown of power.

When Pluto opposes Venus

I love the light this time of year. It’s less intense, more clear. #virgoseason

Venus opposes Pluto tomorrow, two days before Pluto goes out of bounds. Clarify and express (at least to yourself) what it is that you need.

Two images for the Virgo Moon square Uranus (from a neighborhood walk this morning)

How did discern come to feel like judging? How did we go from a word meaning to distinguish between to a word meaning to select one above the other? Can we go back to from?

This is incredible, really lifts me up this evening! It’s been a long, long year.

On this Virgo New Moon, How will you know that you are in alignment with your innermost self? open.substack.com/pub/sabianra...

It’s been so soggy here, the rain I love becomes the rain I resemble.

I just can’t not

Incredible timing with the Jupiter/Moon and Vesta/Juno conjunctions (“using NASA’s Juno spacecraft”)

I know the Saturn return(s) get a lot of attention, and for good reason, but I want to see more about the Jupiter cycle! Happy Jupiter/Moon conjunction in Cancer 🥮

Realised we forgot to show you the inside of the blue box….✨

Resolved the DMV communication glitch under the perfection of the Mars Mercury sextile!

Mars has exited my 12th house!

Is anything really a conscious decision? Or is each decision a consequence of all the previous choices? And what would this mean on a collective level?

I was up with the Mercury station and yes, my thoughts were churning about the decision I’ve made that correlates with the Mars—Saturn/Neptune opposition. However, I was able to self soothe with Venus/Jupiter on the Asc of the local chart. 🌺

It looks like free will going forward and fate in retrospect. —Mars trine Pluto rx

Offer yourself the same grace and accommodation you extend to others. —Mars in Libra opposite Neptune rx

Was it a brick or a rose that rose in a brick, the softest image on the hardest surface? -Mars in Libra

“What does a slow astrology look like?” Pallas K. Augustine www.nineofwands.com/blog/abandon...

Jupiter is in a new phase, novile aspect with Uranus, meaning our beliefs are in the process of liberation. This may look like sudden interest in a new devotional practice. Saturn/Neptune provides the canvas for your projection: think stained glass. What does your stained glass reveal?

Thank you to the Scorpio Moon square Mercury Cazimi for reminding me that Mars will eventually leave my 12th house.
