ENERGIES OF THE WEEK ✨🍁🌀🍂
SEPTEMBER 29 – OCTOBER 5, 2025
This week, we welcome October, a month that gently carries us away from the intense eclipse vibrations and calls us into a profound personal realignment.
We are at a moment where we can gather the fruits of our efforts and acknowledge all that has grown in our lives so far, to support our journey into the winter.
This is a season of truth and transformation, where old identities and beliefs can no longer hold, as the energies of the month open pathways for healing both mind and relationships, demanding transparency and decisive action. The grand trines in the Water and Air signs ahead of us promise a fresh breath into relationships, negotiations, and collaborations, creating a fertile field of possibility and success.
✨🍁On Tuesday, September 30, the Moon will be at the First Quarter phase 🌓at 7°.06 Capricorn♑. This is a time of momentum and determination, when we feel called to act on the intentions seeded at the New Moon. Within Capricorn’s earthy and realistic landscape, we are invited to take mature steps, craft a plan, and lay the foundations of what we want to build.
With Mars in Scorpio, forming a supportive sextile to the Moon, we are granted courage, determination, and drive to move forward.
Throughout the week, a T-square involving Mercury in Libra, Jupiter in Cancer, and Chiron in Aries, sets the tone. This dynamic brings tension between our desire for balance and dialogue, our need for emotional security, and the open wound of identity and self-expression.
✨🍁On Wednesday, October 1, the Mercury-Jupiter square at 22° Libra–Cancer brings matters of home, family, homeland, and safety into the forefront. While the aspect can give us hope, optimism, and vision, inspiring grand plans, it may also lure us into unrealistic choices, hasty commitments, and high expectations without a practical foundation.
We may now feel torn between what we wish to create and our personal security, family dynamics, or the true needs of our soul.Thus, discernment is essential. We need to revisit our ideas and plans, distinguish what has real meaning and reliability, which promises can be kept, and which endeavors can withstand the test of time, so that we give priority to what truly serves our future and our soul.
✨🍁On Thursday, October 2, Venus forms a sesquiquadrate to Pluto at 16° Virgo–1° Aquarius. This tension permeates relationships, finances, and values. Venus seeks clarity, purity, and boundaries, while Pluto stirs depth, obsession, and the urge for transformation.
Relationships may reveal both magnetic attraction and fears of loss or control. Financial matters may expose the pressure of collective changes on our personal choices. Yet this friction can serve as a catalyst, a chance to confront what we fear losing, what we try to control, and what the heart truly desires. A time of catharsis, leading us toward deeper, more authentic values and bonds.
✨🍁On Friday, October 3, under the influence of the Mercury-Chiron opposition at 25°Libra–Aries words turn into mirrors of old wounds. A passing remark, a subtle rejection, or the silence of unspoken thoughts may reopen hidden scars, reminding us of the fragility within.
And yet, within this tension lies the seed of healing. When communication is offered with awareness, or when we dare to voice our truth in a sacred, healing space, even the sharpest memories can soften. The courage to speak what hurts, to name what was silenced, becomes a passage toward release, reconciliation, and inner wholeness.
✨🍁On Saturday, October 4, as Venus merges with the South Node at 18° Virgo, the past whispers through the heart. Old patterns of love, service, and sacrifice resurface, places where we have carried the weight of others, played the healer, or allowed criticism to unravel tenderness. Karmic bonds may return, not to bind us, but to remind us of what still lingers unfinished.
This alignment invites us to pause at the threshold between duty and devotion. It asks us to release the belief that love must be earned through effort, correction, or sacrifice. Instead, it beckons us toward the North Node in Pisces, into the waters of trust, compassion, and surrender. Here, love becomes a river, flowing, unconditional, beyond reason, beyond analysis.
The Sabian symbol, “A Swimming Race,” reminds us that life is not about victory or defeat, but about learning to move with the current. The true task is not to compete, but to discover the rhythm of the waters and the grace of swimming together.
This is a sacred turning point, to transmute struggle into flow, comparison into communion, and to remember that love is not labor, it is mystery, grace, and the endless tide of forgiveness.
✨🍁On Sunday, October 5, the Mercury–Saturn quincunx (27° Libra–Pisces) may complicate communication and decision-making. Delays, misunderstandings, or vague responsibilities can create frustration or a sense of injustice. Agreements and negotiations require extra care, as details may be overlooked or misinterpreted.
This aspect calls for patience, discipline, and responsibility in thought and word, but it can help us arrive at mature, considered decisions that can endure.
With the eclipses now behind us, we may feel as though we have crossed a threshold that we have endured, survived, and are no longer the same, even if uncertainty still lingers and the journey is not yet complete.
In Libra’s season, where connection and partnership rise to the forefront, we find new allies at our side. From his potent throne in Scorpio, Mars empowers us to claim our life and our destiny, to step fully into the role of the protagonist in our own transformation.
Meanwhile, the mutual reception of Mercury and Venus, Mercury in Libra and Venus in Virgo, each moving through the domain of the other, offers one of the most harmonious gifts of this time. It invites us to weave together thought and feeling, reason and affection, and to benefit from the wisdom of both.
This alliance opens a gentle yet steady ground for relationships, collaborations, and financial matters. It softens our words with kindness, diplomacy, and grace, while guiding us to love and invest with clarity, discernment, and grounded realism, free from illusions and the veils of idealization.
May this week be blessed,
and may this new month unfold with grace!✨🌀🍁🕊☮
With love 💓💓💓
