ENERGIES OF THE WEEK – SEPTEMBER 22–28, 2025 ✨🍂🌀
AUTUMNAL EQUINOX – MARS IN SCORPIO, SUN IN LIBRA
Yesterday’s New Moon-Eclipse sowed the seed of a new path, leaving behind the sense that something old is coming to an end while something unknown calls us forward.
The week ahead places us in a process of realignment, as two planetary shifts set a new rhythm.
The Sun moves into Libra, illuminating themes of collaboration, balance, and justice, while Mars’ transit into Scorpio urges us to act with determination, even if it means facing challenges.
Today, the Autumn Equinox reminds us that light and darkness are two sides of the same coin, and we are called to find our place within the cycles of change and transformation.
✨🍂 Monday, September 22, and the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is the sacred pause where light and shadow are in perfect equilibrium, mirroring the eternal pulse of nature and the endless turning of seasons.
With the Sun’s entry into Libra🎇♎ a new gateway opens, inviting renewal and alignment.
The Equinox is a mirror, showing us where our life leans too far in one direction and where harmony is needed. Libra, the sign of beauty, harmony, and relationships, asks us to reexamine our partnerships, bonds, and unions.
Where do we experience support and balance? Where do we give without receiving or receive without giving? Which connections truly deserve our time and energy? Where do we compromise just to keep the peace?
The need for companionship now grows stronger in every aspect of our life. We are not made to walk alone. The Equinox reminds us that sharing, mutual support, and harmony in relationships are essential for our well-being.
At the same time, we are called to restore our inner balance, between “I” and “We,” between personal desires and the needs of others. This is a moment of reconciliation with ourselves, with others, and with the flow of time. A moment to express gratitude for summer’s gifts and prepare for autumn’s reflective and transformative cycle.
On the same day, Mars enters deep, emotional, transformative, and mysterious Scorpio ♏ where it will remain until November 4.
In the sign it traditionally rules, Mars’ energy becomes intense, strategic, penetrating, and profoundly transformative, urging us to channel our power with determination, passion, and precision.
From this position, Mars will dynamically activate the Fixed Cross (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius), bringing challenges but also powerful incentives for action, while granting willpower, persistence, and the ability to manifest to the Water and Earth signs.
This is the moment when powerful desires rise to the surface, hidden dynamics within relationships are revealed, and strategic moves can lead to major victories. At the same time, research, negotiations, large-scale plans, and projects requiring focus, endurance, and passion can flourish.
Mars in Scorpio does not allow us to stay at the surface. It calls us to dive deep, to transform what is needed, and to rise reborn with new strength.
Yet, this transit will not be without challenges.This week, Mars stands at the apex of a YOD, the Finger of God, formed with Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, and also makes its first square to Pluto in Aquarius, pushing us to discover our inner strength through trial and confrontation.
✨🍂On Tuesday, September 23, Mars perfects its inconjunction with retrograde Neptune at 0° Scorpio–Aries. This configuration asks for adjustments, corrections, and brings lessons of faith, devotion, and patience, while also posing dilemmas such as:
Should I fight, or should I surrender? Should I trust, or should I control?
Here, we are invited to connect Mars’ drive with Neptune’s call for faith in something greater, while also embodying the responsibility and endurance demanded by Saturn.
At the same time, Sun opposes Neptune at 0° Libra–Aries, activating a powerful Kite formation involving Uranus and Pluto.
This inspires us with visions and ideals, yet calls us to discern truth from illusion in our relationships and aspirations.
✨🍂On Wednesday, September 24, the trines of Sun–Uranus (1° Libra–Gemini) and Sun–Pluto (1° Libra–Aquarius) complete the Kite formation, opening the way to collective breakthroughs, in collaboration, innovations, and collective endeavors.
On the same day, the inconjunction of Mars–Uranus (1° Scorpio–Gemini), heightening the YOD formation, stirs an undercurrent of unrest. A sudden event, an unforeseen clash, or an invisible inner friction may force us to break an old mold and change our way of acting.
Adding to this charged atmosphere is the Mars–Pluto square at 1° Scorpio–Aquarius, exact on the same day, with Pluto out of bounds and aligned with the fixed star Altair. Here, the Lord of the Underworld demands nothing less than complete truth and regeneration. This explosive aspect carries immense transformative potential, testing our endurance and survival instinct, while also triggering collective events of extreme intensity.
This energy, especially affecting the early degrees of the Fixed Cross (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius), can manifest destructively or redemptively, depending on how it is used.
On one hand, it can bring power struggles, inner battles with repressed fears, manipulation, power games in relationships, and popular uprisings against systems of control and social oppression.
On the other hand, beyond anger, violence, destruction, and extreme “all or nothing” scenarios, lies the potential for transformative experiences and the necessary strength for great and difficult undertakings.
This period can, serve as an initiatory passage, pushing us to confront fears, our shadow aspects, old wounds, and even secrets hidden from ourselves. Through psychotherapy, energy work, inner exploration, and spiritual practice, we may find the way to release bonds and limitations, turning darkness into strength and passion into creation.
✨🍂On Thursday, September 25, the semisquare Venus–Jupiter (6° Virgo–21° Cancer) may inflate emotions or highlight dissatisfaction. It can lead to overindulgence in finances, food, or caretaking. The lesson here is moderation and the cultivation of self-sufficiency, so that fulfillment comes from within rather than external validation.
✨🍂The weekend of September 27–28 unfolds with intensity. Mars at 3° Scorpio forms a sesquiquadrate with the North Node at 18° Pisces, bringing conflicts and inner dilemmas.
Venus at 10° Virgo forms a sesquiquadrate with Chiron at 25° Aries, resurfacing emotional difficulties and wounds in relationships.
Meanwhile, Mercury at 16° Libra clashes with Uranus at 1° Gemini, opening the way to unpredictability and sudden revelations.
In this atmosphere, we are called to approach relationships, communication, and actions with heightened awareness.
The energy may feel challenging, yet it holds the potential to transmute tension into creative and healing power, if we choose the path of self-awareness and empathy.
The week may hold trials, yet Libra whispers that by seeing ourselves in others, we can reclaim equilibrium and illuminate the paths that need healing.
Wishing you a blessed week ahead!✨🍂🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
