An update for 29th September 2025, by Patricia Godden
Until 2nd October, there is a configuration called a ‘kite’ in the heavens. This is a combination of largely harmonious planetary interactions and one tense link. It is the tense link that provides energy to make the most of the harmonious interactions rather than letting such beneficial energies slip away. It is worth looking at this configuration in more detail.
The Sun in Libra forms harmonious interactions with retrograde Pluto in Aquarius and retrograde Uranus in Gemini. This can be interpreted as spirit shining light on multiple changes that could benefit society. There may be brilliant new ideas to take society and humanity forward.
Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Aries, both retrograde, oppose the Sun suggesting new ways that could transcend what has gone before. Visions of what might be are carefully weighed up to ensure they are what is needed rather than just a fantasy.
When these different facets are combined there is plenty of opportunity for growth and development on many levels. Ideas and mental aspirations can be integrated with the deeper, inner understanding of the intuition.
The two rulers of Scorpio, Mars and Pluto, form a tense interaction until 6th October. As Mars is in Scorpio and Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius, there could be some intense feelings about worldwide co-operation with a drive and determination to do something about it. Love is part of the soul lessons of both Scorpio and Aquarius. Incorporating love into actions at this time might be beneficial to what is going on.
On 6th October, Mercury moves from Libra into Scorpio where it approaches Mars. There could be some intense discussions. These may delve deeply into subjects that have only been looked at superficially. It is also possible that topics might include themes that have previously been hidden from view. Some people may be interested in deeper subjects such as the mysteries of life.
The full Moon early in the morning of 7th October is in Aries opposite the Sun in Libra. This highlights appreciation of individual feelings when interacting with other people. Trying to understand how they are feeling and balance assertion with empathy could ease relationships. Each person is unique and each is also part of every relationship they are part of, no matter how temporary or long term it might be.
From 7th to 8th October, there is the potential to look at a deeper level of new and innovative ideas. Although these might be at the material level, they may also cover mystical themes or spiritual pursuits. The ideas may give rise to a practical solution or way of giving service. This is due to the point of resolution of the interaction between Mercury in Scorpio, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries, being in Taurus.
Until 10th October, Venus is close to the south node of the Moon in Virgo. At one level this represents a love of service that has been learned in the past. Jupiter in Cancer and the north node of the Moon in Pisces complement this interaction and bring much sensitivity and awareness not only of the immediate family but the family of the whole world.
The ongoing conjunction between retrograde Saturn in Pisces and retrograde Neptune in Aries continues to reveal new ways in which some things that were once thought to be so clear, defined and an established part of life seem to be less certain. When they are no longer useful, they gradually fade. Paradoxically, things that used to appear diffuse or nebulous are being brought into focus.
This relates to the tremendous change in consciousness that is going on worldwide. It is closely linked with instant access to information about an almost limitless diversity of different topics. These changes can be linked with the interaction between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries, both retrograde. The expansion of consciousness is part of the evolution of humanity.
As humankind move from being predominantly physically aware individuals to becoming more aware of their spiritual nature, their understanding of themselves and their role on Earth necessarily changes. Their focus can no longer be only on material goods and physical welfare but expands to include awareness of their subtle bodies and interconnectedness with other people and realms of life.
We are just at the beginning of the time Pluto will spend in Aquarius where it will be for nearly twenty years. If we have already experienced changes in consciousness in just a few years, how much more could we evolve in the decades to come?
Keep well, stay happy.
