Clearing the cobwebs
1- Sun/Moon/Mercury opposition Neptune/Saturn Uranus Pluto Neptune kite
The standout aspect for the chart is a tight Sun opposite Saturn where a heavy dose of realism seems forced upon us where we can be feeling blocked, encountering obstacles to progress, and inhibitions. Our confidence is undermined by feelings of doubt, pessimism, or guilt. However, this is part of larger, Moon/Sun/Mercury conjunction opposite the Saturn/Neptune conjunction.
The Sun/Moon/Mercury conjunction in practical, diplomatic Libra brings a strong mind/body/emotion balance geared towards pleasant relationships, fair dealings, diplomatic, social harmony. We are especially sharp, open, articulate, communication can be impactful, with a practical detail-oriented sense, favorable for solving problems.
The Saturn/Neptune conjunction brings insecurity, confusion, self-doubt, and guilt. This can be depressing, but it does not have to be. This can be a satisfying time if you are secure in your limitations and have been responsible, honest, and fair in your dealings.
However, this opposition is part of a kite formation, therefore it brings maximal positive support with the difficult energies. So we have a very supportive Sun/Moon trine Pluto and Uranus.
This brings a strong decisiveness and ability to focus on practical details with strong endurance. Sense of leadership connecting with humanitarian and social justice issues. We have increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness. There is also enhanced emotional sensitivity and psychic perception. Intimate relationships can also undergo a positive regeneration.
All this is integrated into the burgeoning Pluto,Saturn/Neptune Uranus tight Minor Grand Trine Magic Triangle A period of potential revolution, innovation and reform in socio-political structures focused on the environment and finance Deep psychological insight facilitating spiritual progress, idealistic values and spiritual awakening.
Two more positive sextiles bring further support.
2- Venus, Jupiter sextiles
3- Mars, Venus squares
4- Mars Yod
This can be counteracted by Uranus sextile Neptune Impetus to reform and update how we express compassion, care for the underprivileged, pursue our dreams, seek escapes, and do art and creativity.
We are entering an exceptionally favorable astrological period, with the Neptune/Pluto/Uranus ‘Magic Triangle’ (Minor grand trine) as they all enter new signs, but 2025 is proving to be a fluctuating period where, due to retrogrades, the planets are hovering around the cusps of two signs, making for an unstable transition period. Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 until October 22, 2025 when he retrogrades back into Pisces. Neptune moves back into Aries on January 26, 2026 until 2039. Meanwhile, Uranus moves into Gemini from July 7 to November 8, 2025 when he goes back into Taurus until April 2026. When Uranus re-enters Gemini in April 2026 we will have entered into an exceptional year of positive aspects in a more stable fashion as the planets establish themselves in the new signs of Aries, Aquarius, and Gemini.
Before that, the recent Jupiter square Saturn and the general instability is placing speed bumps that allow to process the big changes that are coming. The oncoming changes are accompanied by tendencies for anxiety and confusion. There can be a lot of convulsions, conflicts as old systems struggle to resist the energies of change, with the Jupiter-Saturn square, ending the first quarter of the 20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle, that creates tensions between optimism and pessimism, depression and over-confidence as the first of the cycle adjusts to move into the next five-year phase, the most positive of the 20-year cycle.
A highlight of this chart is that it is so tightly connected to the Neptune/Pluto/Uranus minor grand trine, allowing us to experience this pattern along with all the important aspects and sign shifts that have occurred in swift succession this year. With Saturn, Neptune (which includes a a debilitated Mars) a lot of the difficult energies take on a rather doomer nature with tendencies for withdrawal and escapism. Numerologically however, the year 2025 is said to be related to Mars, and the chart’s Mars square Pluto points to a volatile season, with 3 of the 7 volatile Mars aspects occurring this semester, leaving only a week or two where their effect is out of orb. Perhaps it can be seen as a need for vigorous confrontation with old, outdated structures that need to be cleared away to allow for positive changes, and a need for peaceful, firm, effective, pro-active assertiveness towards structures of corruption and injustices. Intimidation is becoming a growing problem, so learning strategies to deal with this problem effectively can be a very useful undertaking. Overall, one could say that the main theme of the chart is tapping into the motivational inspiration of our values and beliefs to overcome the demoralizing tendencies that block productive action. Although there have been some strong efforts, I do not see the chance of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars showing any signs of ending before next Spring at the earliest.
Prognostic
This semester seems characterized by strong impetus for progressive change with inspiration for positive, fair, respectful social relations. Qualities of a strong mind/body/emotion balance geared towards warm, pleasant fair relationships are favored. Further qualities of deep insight, articulate communication, strong decisiveness, focus, endurance, and leadership allowing a practical sense of efficiency are stimulated. A sense of bold creativity, originality can also inspire a sense of initiative.
At the same time there is stark tendency for resisting change through escapism, depression or aggression which can bring insecurity, confusion, self-doubt, and guilt. It can be depressing, but it can be a call to face challenges realistically. Projects can be faced with obstacles, blockages and delays. This can bring tendencies for escapism, getting lost in dreamy fantasies and distractions. Moreover, tendencies for conflicts, competition, intimidation and power struggles, with propensities to exaggerate and over-estimate, can get quite intense and even reach volatile proportions.
Although many positive tools are potentialized to counteract the debilitating and impulsive energies of the chart, a key strategy could be tapping into the motivational inspiration of our altruistic values and beliefs to overcome the demoralizing tendencies that block productive action.
Sun in Libra August 22-September 22. The
focus is now on balance–finding balance and harmony through
relationships with others and through art. Libra is the sign of the
peacemaker.
Moon in Libra Creating order is the focus, not necessarily through tidying or organizing as was the case while the Moon was in Virgo, but rather through pleasing interactions with others and aesthetics in our environment.
Mercury in Libra September 18-October 6. When Mercury is in Libra, we are diplomatic and friendly. During this cycle, we bring a more rational approach to one-to-one relationships. In our negotiations, we don’t want to assert ourselves so as to appear to be the “bad guy.” However, this is a reasonable period for considering others’ points of view. We are more inclined to arrive at fair conclusions.
Venus in Virgo from September 19-October 13. We’re keenly interested in ways to enrich our lives and boost our well-being. “Health is wealth” could be a motto now. We’re conservative with money, and romance at this time, ready to analyze and dissect these matters. This can also be a time when helping others, particularly with good advice regarding these Venus-ruled things, can be prominent and successful.
Mars in Scorpio September 22 – November 4, Desire, passion, and determination all intensify under this transit, carrying us into hidden territories, those places within ourselves and our lives where real transformation waits. This is a time for depth over surface, for courage in confronting truths we might otherwise avoid, and for pursuing goals with unwavering focus.
