Horoscope For Today: Wednesday, September 10, 2025

As we all collectively recover from the intense lunar eclipse in Pisces that shook up our lives this weekend, this midweek moon in Aries transit is a valuable reminder that we’re not out of the woods yet. We are still in the thick of eclipse season and everything feels much more heightened, emotional, and straight up insane than usual.

Never fear, though: the moon will only be brandishing its weapons in the sign of Aries until relatively early this evening, at which point it will ingress into the calmer and more stable territory of Taurus, allowing us to depart from our battle stations.

However, before we can fully unwind and treat ourselves to the boundless luxuries associated with the sign of the bull, there are a few challenging aspects over the course of the morning.

The first is the face-off between the opposing moon in Aries and Mars at 22° Libra, occurring at approximately 3:30 AM EST. This reflects a moment of exhausting tension within relationships and the climax of conflicts between partners. It also suggests clashes in the court room; keep watch for news of high-profile legal cases.

Then there’s the conjunction between the moon and retrograde Chiron at 26° Aries. This takes place at 10:11 AM, heralding a moment of clarity and healing, especially for those who have been struggling to find their own way in the world and individuate from their families, partners, and communities.

The moon finally steps off the battlefield and finds rest in Taurus at 4:04 PM, and at 6:42 it makes a sharp square to retrograde Pluto at 1° Aquarius, triggering emotional instability and erratic, impulsive behavior. Try to remain calm in the face of chaos and remember that we are refined through hardship. If you receive what seems like unequivocally bad news, or something you covet is destroyed, consider what might be gained from such a loss.

It’s undeniable by this point that the world has changed, and it might just have to get worse before it gets better. In the meantime, our lives remain largely, almost disturbingly, normal, as we go about our day-to-day habits, chores, and rituals. How will this day unfold for you? If you know your rising sign, read on for a mini-forecast. It’s generalized, but it might just strike a chord within you.

Aries.

Early this morning, the moon in your first house opposes Mars in your seventh, reflecting the combative nature of your partnerships lately. Try to avoid engaging in petty fights and use this period of emotional clarity to tactfully defuse the situation. If this feels like role reversal for the typical Aries rising, that’s because it is—and it’s helping you strengthen your capacity for patience like a muscle.

This comes just in time for the powerful conjunction between the moon and retrograde Chiron in your first house, helping you let go of ego-driven wounds. This evening, when the moon ingresses into your second house, you’ll feel calmer and more indulgent, willing to treat yourself and your loved ones—at least until the square to retrograde Pluto in your eleventh house, which could turn your social circle on its head and give you a harsh wakeup call about your friends’ priorities.

Taurus.

In the early hours of the morning, the moon in your twelfth house comes into opposition with Mars in your sixth: if you’ve been waylaid by an illness or injury and feeling the sting of the resulting social isolation, you’re going to feel particularly lonely today. Do your best to keep your head above the water and remember that times of healing sometimes require solitude.

When, later on, the moon and retrograde Chiron come into conjunction in your twelfth house, you can anticipate either an intensification of the physical and psychological pain, a sense that it must get worse before it gets better. The catharsis that comes in the wake of this breakthrough is worth waiting for, so keep the faith. This evening, the moon ingresses into your first house, placing the focus on your emotional well-being and giving you more confidence in your abilities to navigate these rough emotional waters. Express gratitude to the loved ones who show up for you in your time of need, and be prepared to be a little blindsided by the amount of support suddenly rushing in: the square to retrograde Pluto in your tenth house promises the spotlight will shine on you tonight.

Gemini.

Early today, the moon in your eleventh house will come into opposition with Mars in your fifth, challenging your emotional attachments to your in-group and giving you a chance to reconsider how they’re impacting your creative and spiritual life. If you’re in a toxic relationship, too, it might be time to seek the counsel of your friends. Don’t allow yourself to be psychologically manipulated today. You know yourself better than anyone.

This struggle is sure to be magnified by the conjunction between the moon and retrograde Chiron in your eleventh house, at which point you may hear some brutally honest truth from a friend you trust. If you feel triggered by their comment, it might be because some part of you is aware they’re right. This evening, when the moon makes its way into your twelfth house, you may need to quiet your mind—and your group chat—in order to process your emotions. But when the moon squares off against retrograde Pluto in your ninth house, you could benefit from some guidance from a spiritual leader or academic mentor.

Cancer.

In the early morning hours, the moon in your tenth house opposes Mars in your fourth, indicating major friction between your home and work personas. While you are receiving immense emotional satisfaction from your career right now, you may be abandoning your loved ones in the process—and indirectly causing them to hold resentment towards you. If a relative is combative today, try to hold space for them and understand where they’re coming from; it’s very possible you’ve been out of balance lately and your distracted nature has left them feeling disconnected from you.

When the moon and retrograde Chiron in your tenth house come into a conjunction later, you can expect a specific inciting event to trigger one of your own blind spots—and bring a long-buried wound to the surface. When the moon ingresses into your eleventh house this evening, you are offered a chance to relax and unwind after a period of intense stress. A great deal of the professional pressure may suddenly seem to disappear, as your closest companions step in to help you carry your burdens. The moon’s square-off with retrograde Pluto in your eighth house, too, reminds you that life is short, nothing is certain but death and taxes, and it has never been more important to prioritize your loved ones.

Leo.

Early today, the moon in your ninth house faces off in an intense opposition with Mars in your third, challenging you to set aside your lofty ambitions and focus solely on what is in front of you. Your extended family might be stirring up drama, or you might be living through an unavoidable local period of chaos: conflict between neighbors at the best, heightened incidents of crime at the worst. Weather the storm as best as you can and avoid making any emotionally reactive statements that you might wish to take back later.

Once the moon and retrograde Chiron in your ninth house come into conjunction, you are likely to experience a moment of intense, almost divine clarity about your future plans—whether that is leaving a toxic environment and moving across the country or deciding to walk away from your childhood faith, you are in control. The moon cruises into your tenth house this evening, placing some potentially unwanted attention on you and making you a target for criticism, especially when it squares off against retrograde Pluto in your seventh house and triggers some serious complications within your existing relationships.

Virgo.

This morning, the moon in your eighth house will oppose Mars in your second, ensuring that you’re heavily focused on money matters—both your own and other people’s. While you might feel emotionally reliant on your loved ones to provide for you, you’re being called to take a more active approach to your finances, setting a game plan to ensure that you can increase your net worth. If you have a business or romantic partner in which to do this with, your chances of success are heightened. Two heads are always better than one, and you might be blind to something that is blatantly evident to your partner.

When the moon comes into a conjunction with retrograde Chiron in your eighth house, you are encouraged to openly engage with your trauma surrounding money, as well as other, deeper issues, such as fear of your own mortality or unprocessed grief after losing a loved one. When the moon ingresses into your ninth house this evening, you’ll feel more optimistic and spiritually enlightened, finding divine patterns and meaning that may have been unclear before. When it squares retrograde Pluto in your sixth house, it’s in your best interest to transmute these insights into your daily health and wellness practice—or consider changing the way you work.

Libra.

In the morning today, the moon in your seventh house faces off with Mars in your first—so you might be the villain in your partner’s story. Be mindful of your own reactivity and try your best to avoid conflict, as your loved ones are especially emotionally vulnerable today and are not in the mood to fight. Neither are you, on a typical day, but if you don’t channel your intense energy into a constructive activity, like going for a run or hitting the gym, you might end up starting a very unnecessary fight on your own home territory.

The moon’s conjunction with retrograde Chiron in your seventh house, too, is likely to trigger difficult conversations with your partner, and the best thing to do is listen and not interject, even if they’re telling you things about yourself that are difficult to hear. Every relationship takes work, and sometimes you have to be called out by someone who knows you and sees you better than anyone in order to hold yourself accountable. This evening, when the moon makes its way into your eighth house, you may feel inclined to hide away and lick your wounds, especially when it squares retrograde Pluto in your fifth house and challenges your expectations about romance. Could some of you break up under this cosmic weather? Maybe, but it’s more likely you just need to listen to each other more.

Scorpio.

This morning, as the moon in your sixth house opposes Mars in your twelfth, you are strongly focused on your physical health—possibly to the detriment of your psychological needs, which are just as important. You might feel the urge to wake up early and hit the gym before dawn when you really should be booking an emergency session with your therapist before the inevitable crash-out.

When the moon comes into conjunction with retrograde Chiron in your sixth house, you’re inevitably going to have to face the reality you’ve been avoiding: your health needs your attention, and the sooner you make a change, the better. Once you acknowledge this certainty, you can set a plan in motion: changing up your diet, committing to a new exercise regime, or going to the doctor to figure out where all of those mysterious migraines are coming from. The moon ingresses into your seventh house this evening, giving your partner the green light to take care of you and make you feel safe and secure in your environment. But when it squares off against retrograde Pluto in your fourth, you might have to deal with some dramatic news regarding your family and home life—particularly as it relates to your partnership or marriage.

Sagittarius.

This morning the moon is hanging out in your fifth house and opposing Mars in your eleventh, stirring up tension between your creative and romantic life and the demands of your social network. There might be drama in the group chat that you feel compelled to engage with, even though your heart isn’t really in it. And you’re right to put your focus elsewhere.

When, later on, the moon and retrograde Chiron come into conjunction in your fifth house, you’re inevitably going to have to work with—not against—a sudden reopened wound that relates to your creative or spiritual life, especially if you’ve been trying to fill this void through short-term flings. It might be time to commit to celibacy or delete the dating apps from your phone while you focus on your hobbies and side hustles. It’s not selfish to choose yourself at this period in time; in fact, it’s likely to fulfill you much more than a relationship would right now. When the moon moves into your sixth house this evening, you’ll move swiftly into work mode, feeling motivated to complete any tasks you’ve been slacking on. And when it squares retrograde Pluto in your third house, you might find yourself fighting some of your extended family members’ battles, whether you like it or not.

Capricorn.

In the early hours today, as the moon in your fourth house opposes Mars in your tenth, there is pretty intense pressure on you to show up as your most active—dare I say ruthless?—self, something that any Capricorn rising can typically do in their sleep. However, your emotional needs can only be satisfied by family life and domestic comforts right now, so you may find it challenging to step into the leadership role. Hand it off to someone else if you can; there is incredible strength in admitting that you need time for yourself, and wisdom in knowing when to delegate. You don’t need to do everything all at once. You’re setting yourself up for failure if you assume you can.

When the moon and retrograde Chiron in your fourth house come into a conjunction, a deep wound relating to your family and home life is going to be opened, forcing you to place your attention on healing—and yes, accepting help from others. Once the moon has moved into your fifth house by this evening, you’ll be feeling more creatively inspired and spiritually balanced, but the square-off with retrograde Pluto in your second house will inevitably force you to accept a change in your financial status. If it’s time to slow down and put in less hours at work, you may earn less. And that’s okay. Your tax bracket is not your identity.

Aquarius.

This morning, the moon in your third house comes into opposition with Mars in your ninth, placing tension directly in the way of the comfortable existence you’ve built for yourself and your family. Conflicts from friends abroad, smear campaigns from your childhood pastor, or struggles to complete your master’s program are all possible manifestations of this energy, which will serve to motivate you to work harder at balancing your daily life with your large-scale ambitions.

Later, the moon and retrograde Chiron in your third house conjoin and enable you to receive healing through painful regeneration; open up to your neighbors, siblings, and other extended family members who have your back. You need community right now more than ever. It might look different than you had imagined, but sometimes we are blessed with exactly what we need in our own backyards. Once the moon has shifted into your fourth house this evening, you’ll be feeling the need to stay at home and unwind, binging Netflix with your loved ones and shutting out the unnecessary noise. Enjoy it for the time being, as your whole identity is being transformed right now—and when the moon squares off against retrograde Pluto in your first house, you might see a preview of just how exactly this is going to play out for you.

Pisces.

In the early morning hours, the moon in your second house opposes Mars in your eighth, encouraging you to place your focus on your own earning potential—even as others try to assert their dominance over you and perhaps manipulate you through the promise of wealth. If you’re dealing with prenups, wills, or inheritance matters, you’ll feel the pressure mounting today.

Later on, when the moon comes into conjunction with retrograde Chiron in your second house, your fears surrounding money will undoubtedly be triggered, and you may ask yourself questions like, “Am I actually deserving of what I have?” even as you watch your net worth increase exponentially. When the moon ingresses into your third house this evening, you’re given a reprieve from the financial theme of the day and encouraged to journal or communicate your feelings to a trusted sibling, cousin, or neighbor. Keep your circle small, though: when the moon squares retrograde Pluto in your twelfth house, you might find that some of your so-called friends are secret opps.
