This is a threshold week—Autumn Equinox initiates a new season of balance, while Mars dives into Scorpio and squares Pluto, calling us into deep transformation. The Sun’s opposition to Neptune brings dreams and confusions to the surface, but also opens portals of vision. This week asks: how do you align yourself at the edge of change—with clarity, courage, and creative power?

Monday, Sept 22: 

Sun enters Libra (Autumn Equinox)

• The Equinox turns the wheel—day and night balance. Libra season begins, inviting you to recalibrate your relationships, your sense of justice, and your commitment to harmony. Equinox is always a time of threshold: harvesting what has ripened, releasing what is done.
•  Reflection: Where in your life are you ready to rebalance so that both light and shadow are honored?

Mars enters Scorpio (6 weeks)

• Mars, archetype of the Warrior and Protector, moves into Scorpio. For the next six weeks, energy intensifies. This is a season of penetrating insight, fierce will, and facing what’s hidden. Mars in Scorpio fuels both obsession and liberation—it asks you to confront power dynamics, shadow desires, and your capacity for transformation.
•  Reflection: What hidden passion or fear is ready to be faced with courage and clarity?

Tuesday, Sept 23: Sun in Libra opposes Neptune in Aries (also trines Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius)
The Sun shines a light on Neptune’s mists. You may feel unclear, dreamy, or disoriented. But this is also a chance to connect vision and compassion. The Sun also links in harmony to Uranus and Pluto—reminding you that imagination can fuel real change. This is a potent triangle of vision, disruption, and transformation.

Reflection: How can you allow your imagination to serve both your personal clarity and the collective good?

Wednesday, Sept 24: Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius
Mars meets Pluto in a fierce confrontation. This transit can stir up old power struggles, hidden resentments, or collective eruptions. Yet it is also an alchemical forge—where will, shadow, and transformation collide. You are invited to release toxic control and claim authentic empowerment.

Reflection: What outdated power pattern in your life is asking to be transmuted into new strength?

Looking Ahead-A few major cycles loom on the horizon:

• Oct 22: Neptune re-enters Pisces, returning us to the dissolving waters of collective dreamwork for the next two decades.
• Nov 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus, grounding disruption in the material world.
• Nov 9–28: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius–Scorpio, a three-week journey of reviewing beliefs, truths, and hidden patterns.
• The Equinox rebalancing this week prepares you for these coming shifts.

These upcoming shifts will shape the final months of 2025—so notice the signs already stirring.
