The astrology of September is…BANANAS. This month brings us a whole SIX planetary ingresses, a superior Mercury cazimi (domicile and exalted in Virgo, no less), an autumn equinox (bringing us into Libra season)…oh yeah, and our second eclipse season of 2025, our first eclipse season that takes place entirely across the Virgo-Pisces axis since this series started a year ago. No big deal.
The name of the game this September is confronting big change with a sense of adaptability. But I won’t jump the gun—listen to this month’s Cosmic Musings forecast to get the ENTIRE low-down.
I’m so excited to introduce you to this month’s guest astrologer, Sam Manzella! Sam Manzella (she/they) is a queer writer, astrologer, and multimedia journalist based in Brooklyn. (She's a Gemini, obviously.) Their astrology practice is rooted in the Hellenistic tradition. She is an astrology columnist for The Malin Journal and a former staff writer for STAR/CHILD, the astrology app for families. Sam's writing has appeared in dozens of print and online publications, including Them, Cosmopolitan, HuffPost, and more. Subscribe to her Substack, Astrology by Sam, for free weekly forecasts. I absolutely adore Sam and their practical, down to earth approach to accessible astrology.

(fun fact: Sam and I had met in an incredibly kismet way in a cafe under last year’s solar eclipse in Libra—which also happened to be on my solar return. Our coming together was completely fated)
