ENERGIES OF THE WEEK 15–21 SEPTEMBER 2025✨🎇🌀 MERCURY IN LIBRA, VENUS IN VIRGO
We find ourselves in the heart of September, entering a week that asks us to balance love, creativity, and responsibility. The planetary energies bring both inspiration and passion, yet also challenges that call for attention, focus, and honesty with ourselves.
Relationships, communication, and self-expression move to the forefront, while our hearts are invited to heal, to renew, and to open new pathways toward authentic connection. As for the celestial “clashes,” they remind us that change and readjustment are inevitable, and that true wisdom and fulfillment come through responsibility, patience, and sincerity.
As we approach the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21, this week becomes a preparation of the soul, a call to love with awareness, to cleanse our relationships and desires, and open our hearts to the light of the new cycle that is dawning.
✨🌀On Tuesday, 16/9, the eternal lovers Venus and Mars meet in a harmonious sextile at 25° Leo–Libra, bringing a passionate, warm, and romantic energy that will benefit interpersonal and social relationships as well as creativity. This aspect inspires us to act with grace and confidence, to rekindle bonds, and to express ourselves with authenticity and joy.
For Fire and Air signs of the 3rd decan, the energy brings intense magnetism and attraction, but for all it is a supportive influence for collaborations, creative projects, and artistic endeavors that require harmony, passion, and inspiration.
On the same day, Venus forms a trine with Chiron at 26° Leo–Aries, which can work wonders for relationships, self-esteem, and creativity. This harmonious influence provides the opportunity to heal old relationship wounds or bring understanding where there was pain.
Venus teaches us to value ourselves, while Chiron reminds us that healing requires courage and personal action. Artistic endeavors can also become means of self-expression and emotional catharsis, while love can now be expressed with sensitivity and courage, without fear of rejection or hurt.
✨🌀On Wednesday, 17/9, Mercury in late Virgo opposes Saturn at 28° Pisces. This is an aspect of tension and pressure that can bring uncertainty in thought and communication, but also helps us recognize the boundaries and responsibilities we must take into account before moving forward.
This influence directly affects the final degrees of the Mutable signs (Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini) and is favorable for analysis, focus, and strategic planning. However, it discourages hasty decisions and may bring delays or cancellations. And while it will require responsibility and patience, yet it will show us more clearly what is realistic and what is an illusion.
✨🌀On Thursday, 18/9, Mercury enters Libra ♎, where it will remain until 6 October. In this Venus-ruled sign of harmony and beauty, our words and thoughts turn into bridges of connection.
Priorities, perception, and communication change. Mercury’s journey through Libra offers sacred mirrors to help us overcome differences, find common ground, communicate with politeness and diplomacy, and reconcile, recognizing the perspectives of others.
✨🌀On Friday 19/9, Mercury at 1° Libra forms a Kite configuration, composed of a grand trine with Uranus and Pluto at 1° Gemini–Aquarius and the opposition to Neptune at 1° Aries.
This unique formation ignites the mind like a spiritual spark, awakening fresh ideas, breakthroughs, and visionary solutions.
The opposition with Neptune opens a window to intuition and dreams, allowing us to see the essence behind words and events, while confronting illusions and misunderstandings. Meanwhile, the grand trine with Uranus and Pluto reprograms the mind, adds perspective and flexibility, and enhances perceptive ability, opening new pathways of knowledge and communication.
This is an invitation to raise our spirit and let our mind travel beyond old patterns and limitations.
On the same day, the planet of love, desire, and connection, Venus, enters Virgo♍(until 13 October), changing our mood, needs, aesthetics, and the way we connect with ourselves and our loved ones.
Love now finds expression through practical care, daily service, and devotion. Virgo, with its practicality and purity, helps us discern what is truly beneficial for the body, mind, and heart. This is a period where we can clear out our emotional landscape, organize our relationships and needs, and remove toxic patterns or unhealthy dependencies.
Venus in Virgo, being in a mutual reception with Mercury, invites us to love consciously, ground love in reality, and remember that true love is built in everyday life, where the “small” becomes “great,” and love is not just a feeling but action, giving, and healing.
The coming period is also an opportunity to care for the body and health, beautify our surroundings with simplicity and functionality, and embrace the aesthetics of clarity and essence.
Venus’ transit through Virgo will not be neutral, as it activates aspects with the collective planets, receiving concentrated pressure as well as guidance.
On Saturday, 20/9, Venus will reach the apex of a YOD, the “Finger of God,” forming quincunxes with Saturn–Neptune at 0° Aries and with Pluto at 0° Aquarius, stirring dilemmas and the need for adjustments.
Saturn in Aries demands boundaries, responsibility, and autonomy. It brings difficulties in expressing love and emotions and can heighten insecurities in relationships and finances. Wherever something doesn’t fit, we are called to find a new balance and prove more of ourselves.
Neptune in Aries blurs boundaries, brings confusion about what we truly want, disappointment, but also inspiration. Ideals may now meet reality.
Pluto calls for truth, purification, and transformation. Love may be experienced as obsession, passion, control, or deep healing, and through the quincunx, it shows that we need to redefine our criteria, accept what doesn’t work, and change it radically, even if painful.
At the same time, Venus squares Uranus at 1° Virgo–Gemini, bringing shocks and surprises in love, finances, and personal preferences. Old routines may be disrupted, sudden attractions or expenses may arise, and our sense of freedom becomes non-negotiable.
The quincunx of Mars with Saturn at 28° Libra–Aries on the same day adds restrictions, delays, and pressures in relationships, collaborations, and decision-making, as Mars asks us to make the right choice for all, and Saturn demands personal responsibility and decisive action.
Amidst this landscape, we must accept that love and the fulfillment of needs do not come easily, but through adaptation, truth, and occasional upheaval that awakens us.
It is as if the Universe is saying:
“Love with new eyes. Clear, sacrifice, release, and your heart will be reborn.”
All these energies serve as preparation for the great event approaching, the karmic Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sunday, 21/9. This eclipse will illuminate what needs cleansing, what must be released, and what must be restructured in our lives. It is a call to embrace change consciously, to align with higher purpose and to create space for what is truly healing, meaningful, and aligned with our soul’s path.
Wishing you a blessed week ahead!✨🌀🎇🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
