Zodiac Check-In: Your Monthly Astro Update September 2025

by Sara Hewitt

September begins with a dreamy Full Moon and eclipse in Pisces, encouraging release, forgiveness, and a softening of the heart. Later in the month, a New Moon and eclipse in Virgo brings the opportunity to reset routines and intentions.

Aries (21 Mar – 19 Apr): Deep emotions surface from behind the scenes and you’re ready to face them without fear. Conversations in love improve slowly and creativity becomes more deliberate. Trust the quieter pace.

Taurus (20 Apr – 20 May): A creative or romantic renewal may arrive in subtle ways. Your financial focus sharpens and you’re more inclined to plan wisely. Relationships feel steadier and shared goals begin to clarify.

Gemini (21 May – 20 Jun): You’re redefining what security means. Your usual social spark softens slightly, and your priorities feel more internal. A relationship dynamic may shift in a helpful way.

Cancer (21 Jun – 22 Jul): You’re craving more meaningful exchanges and more space to think. At work or school, progress picks up where it stalled. Romantic energy intensifies and you’re ready to express yourself with boldness.

Leo (23 Jul – 22 Aug): Your relationship with money and self-worth deepens and matures. Work gets busier but also more rewarding. Stay open to help from others. You are not meant to do everything alone.

Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep): A personal reset is in motion and something old is ready to go. Relationships shift as you redefine your role within them. You’re more motivated to take action and less interested in pleasing everyone.

Libra (23 Sep – 22 Oct): There is a sense of quiet growth this month. You’re letting go of habits or beliefs that no longer fit who you are becoming. Love improves through gentle honesty.

Scorpio (23 Oct – 21 Nov): Certain friendships may fade while new ones emerge. Your goals begin to sharpen, and motivation rises. Creative passions feel more intense but manageable.

Sagittarius (22 Nov – 21 Dec): Your public role is shifting whether through work or something more personal. People notice you differently and you may feel a mix of pride and pressure. Emotional balance comes through creating boundaries.

Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan): Your beliefs are changing in subtle but lasting ways. This shift helps you release expectations you did not realise you were holding. Travel or study may call to you or bring unexpected insight.

Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb): Something deep within you is ready to shift. Emotional or financial attachments may loosen and bring relief. You are more willing to be honest with yourself.

Pisces (19 Feb – 20 Mar): The Full Moon and eclipse in your sign asks you to let go of an old version of yourself. It may feel emotional, but it clears space for something better. A relationship may begin to shift in beautiful ways. You are learning to give without over-giving.

Worker shortage is currently universal, there isn’t an industry that’s exempt. For Kelvin Smith, four years ago he decided there was a very obvious solution to the shortage facing the construction industry, and all that was needed was a little time, empathy and a helping hand. Integrate Workforce is a Hobart-based labour company with one requirement: a refugee/ migrant background. He’s also the outdoor piano man in his free time.

Landscape artist and creative Elliott Nimmo is enjoying discovering Hobart’s vibrant art scene and local environment after relocating here from London to pursue his art.

Even though Tasmania is known for its mild summers, it doesn’t take much to get sunburnt. Tasmania experiences extreme ultraviolet (UV) levels, but contrary to popular belief this isn’t due to the hole in the ozone layer, which is actually south of the continent.While higher UV levels often occur at the same time as higher temperatures, the two are not linked. Instead, UV levels are determined by the angle of the sun in the sky: the higher the sun, the higher the UV. In December and January, the position of the sun over Tasmania gives the state a UV index of 11 or more on most days, which is classified as “extreme” on the UV index. Tasmania’s lack of humidity and generally clear skies contribute to the stinging feeling of the sun. UV can reflect off buildings and water, making it possible to get a higher dose of UV from these reflected rays, even in the shade.

Setting up shop during a pandemic was a risky move, but if the crowd at Dāna Eating House (Dāna) on a Friday night is anything to go by, it’s one that’s paid off. With tables of diners chatting and laughing over drinks, the music and conversation buzzes off the monstera-leaf-green walls. Low-hanging rattan lights and worn wooden floorboards give the newly opened South-East Asian fusion venue in Hobart’s CBD a relaxed vibe.

A Holyman flagged ship hasn’t steamed up the River Derwent since 1984 but the company’s name still proudly adorns its former offices at 5 Morrison Street, Hobart.

Widening the Tasman Bridge to allow 3.5 metres on each side is a big win for walkers and cyclists.

Rain, hail and shine, the school crossing guards are always there to help with a smile on their face.

It’s hard to believe it’s not standard practice to have a working phone in every aged care room - shared phones make private conversations impossible and increase the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Just when you think your cousins are alright. NZ Opposition Leader Judith Collins took aim at Tassie during her recent (unsuccessful) campaign, calling us Australia’s “poor cousin.” She also seems worried about us nabbing tech businesses, “It’s a lovely part of the world but do you necessarily want to go there with your high- tech business? Possibly not,” she said. We beg to differ!
