An Aries Full Moon featuring a Quadriform aspect pattern highlights the first half of October. We also have Pluto turning direct, tons of Mercury and Venus aspects, and more!

In my previous forecast, I shifted from a chronological format to a theme-based format, with the most important events first. 

In response to your feedback, this time I’m trying a “best of both” approach. I start with the new format, but end with a concise chronological listing. Its individual events link to the appropriate theme-based sections. 

Please let me know what you think of this hybrid approach at benjamin@astroshaman.com.

Whatever your Sun Sign, my forecasts can help you make the best use of the current astrological energies. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone. Events are most powerful on the dates listed, but their influence will be active for at least a week before and after.

Everyone is affected by these global transits. However, you’ll be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate sensitive points in your natal chart. Discover how these transits will personally affect you by booking a session with me.

May the stars light your way,

A Virgo Solar Eclipse – 2025’s strongest lunation – highlights the second half of September. We’ll also feel the impact of a potent Autumn Equinox chart, an intense Mars-Pluto square, and much more! I also announce September's free session winner.

I’ve also changed my forecast format. Instead of the chronological, day-by-day format I’ve used for 20+ years, I’m now putting the most important things first. I’m also focusing more on larger themes, rather than one-off events. I believe you’ll find this new approach more easy and helpful in understanding your astrological opportunities!

I’d love to know what you think. Please share your feedback in the comments area or email me at benjamin@astroshaman.com.
