Fierce desire, balanced calm
I will admit that as a Leo woman, I can be a little…dramatic. Every reaction, every emotion, every desire is great! Although this has its charm, it is sometimes a little bit more for others.
Fortunately, I married a Libra who was almost never abandoned by my outburst. His first reaction was laughter when I was angry against a technique of misbehaving, occasionally throwing the problematic items into the room. Then, he calmly retrieved the projectile and solved the problem.
It seems clear how our relationship benefits me. But I occasionally wonder what he got from this situation? I asked him before and he said, “I don’t know…I just like you. You’re never bored.” Heaven knows that “boring” is the most outrageous feature for air signs like Libra.
when Venus’ heartfelt, passionate Leo stands out with Mars this week in Libra (September 15, 2025, 8:04 pm PDT), strong calmness expresses fierce desire. Regardless of the Venus that Leo wants, Mars in Libra is willing to help us get it – even if we have broken it and need to fix it before we use it.
The scourge of crushing the sameness
It’s been years since I was in my daily work, but boy, I remembered nothing more than anything I didn’t like. As a secretary of a large government agency, there is a frustrating similarity to this every day.
This week, Mercury in Virgo against Saturn in Pisces (September 17, 2025, 10:47 AM PDT0. In mercury in Virgo, we can easily find ourselves trapped in details and lost in the sameness that plagued my previous career. When the same Mercury aspect is Saturn, you may also realize that you may be inclined to support your ambitions.
There is nothing demeaning to be someone who is organizing information, building systems and making things run behind the scenes. But if you feel it is deeply for what you care about and you feel that it can really change the world, then you are more likely to find a job to satisfy.
Lovely and pleasant
This week, Mercury is transformed from Virgo, signs of perfectionism and Libra. No more considerable us Have, think, want, create or serve; now we encounter and have to negotiate with others and all their needs.
Libra Mercury (September 18, 2025, 3:06 PDT, until October 5) asked us to articulate our ideas and ask what we want in a way that is designed to make all parties happy. The Mercury aspect this week immediately challenged Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, and our own interactions with people with strong insights. But even so, Mercury in Libra can help us enjoy the lovely and pleasant things that share our thoughts and feelings with other people who are cute and pleasant.
Mercury’s busy day
After entering Libra, Mercury formed a series of planetary aspects on September 18. Mercury against Neptune (PDT at 3:01 pm), very intuition. Especially in Mercury in Libra, this is a beautiful work of art, love and time spent on spiritual frameworks (such as in meditation).
Admittedly, this is not the best aspect of logic and analysis. But save this work Mercury’s three-pointer against Uranus (PDT at 9:52 pm). Even if you may tend to blurt out, this can lead to exciting insights and awakenings, even if you may be better at keeping yourself and overly addicted to playing the devil’s advocate.
and Mercury’s Pluto Triple (PDT 11:27 pm) It can clear some hard truths that have been hidden for a while, this time, escapism will not work. If you need to face someone with someone in your life, then this is the right time to solve this problem.
One by one
It’s the day after a large, loud, memorable party that your house is in a mess. Just fall off the couch to recover and you can forgive you. But ultimately, investigating the damage can cause your head to get hurt and nervous. You decide you can manage the mess on the coffee table so you can slowly clear your glasses and crumpled cocktail napkins. On the way to the trash can, you can pick up a few bottles, jars and cardboard. The kitchen counter looks strong, but you first need to scratch the dishes and bowls and transfer them to the dishwasher. Soon, you are methodically buzzing from room to room, buzzing as you resume your order.
After the long Venus at Leo parties that begin on August 25, the focus is on fun, bright colors, and usually overdoing things Venus enters Virgo (September 19, 2025, 5:39 pm PDT until October 13) Cleanup. Just remember that it doesn’t have to be done in one go whether it’s cleaning your home, balancing your checkbook or organizing your office. Choose it one by one. You will soon find yourself sitting in a clean, quiet space with a matching mindset.
Are you beautiful?
Are you beautiful? Is it worth it? cute? Who can decide exactly? Venus in Uranus square (September 20, 2025, 8:41 am, PDT, at 1º22′ Virgo and Gemini) provides an opportunity to get rid of others’ perceptions of your worth and instead celebrate your true, unique beauty – face, body, mind, talent and spirit.
But don’t be surprised if you attract some negative feedback or flat rejection along the way, which forces you to ask yourself the right question: Can you approve yourself even if others don’t?
Venus is also a financial planet, and money is another way to evaluate what and what we own. When Venus and Uranus have a skirmish, we may experience sudden gains or reversals. It is noteworthy from a practical point of view, but it is also because our relationship with money reveals scads about our confidence, security and values. Example Question: Are you giving more than you get? Money makes you more or less free?
The invisible wall
My neighbor’s delightful cat Jasper spent most of his time outdoors. From our home, I could see him paced a very specific route nearby. Sometimes, when my neighbor and I set out on a walk, he achieved escorting us. But about halfway through the block, he stopped on the track as if he had hit the glass wall. He stood there, and I was quick at all when we disappeared from our sight, but he would not violate the invisible wall.
Like Jasper, most of us tend to feel the limits of ourselves. We know how far we can linger before we leave the territory, and things start to feel unsafe.
when Sun against Saturn (September 20, 2025, 10:46 PM PDT, 28º30′ Virgo and Pisces), we want to proudly hold up on our territory, but Saturn’s invisible obstacles put us under control. We may experience the boundaries of Saturn among strong bosses, strict parents, or other authoritative figures. But usually, what is preventing us from retreating is our own inner glass wall. Often, this boundary is designed to keep us safe.
The world is
this New Moon Solar Eclipse (September 21, 2025, 12:54 pm PDT, 29º05′ Virgo), oppose Saturn and signal a chance to release Virgo’s more negative expression in our lives. It’s time to release the busy trend and distract us from the real work we have at hand. Criticize others’ impulse to work hard; deny the poetry and magic of life, and agree with a rigid, rational approach.
The eclipse point is located near the southern node of the moon, drawing a line that connects us with a long-term pattern of trying to overcome this negative. In the past few years, solar eclipses approaching this point (most recently, September 22, 2006 and September 23, 1987), are you too fast to criticize, too slow to notice the beauty around you, too busy sweating to look at the bigger picture?
One of my favorite Virgin fables is the movie Groundhog Day, which follows Phil Connors as he is forced to live over and over again. It wasn’t particularly exciting either, but it was filled with slight troubles and trivial frustration, neither better nor worse than the rest of his life.
Phil is portrayed by Virgo Bill Murray, attacking the issue with resistance, cynicism, complaints and nihilism until he surrenders after repeated attempts and fails to destroy himself. Although he knew he had to do it again the next day, he spent every day on good deeds and self-improvement. By the end of the movie, there isn’t much change in town – except for Phil becoming compassionate, accomplished and beloved Phil.
It is not easy to recover our spirit from cynicism and our daily habits and from the tyranny of folders and postal postal postal mail notes. Saturn’s late-travel Pisces insists that we even improve ourselves with commitment to the world and even our best impulses yes. As Phil Connors discovered, we must first commit to being part of the world before we want to improve the world.
