Weekly Astrology | Virgo Eclipse & Libra Season: Grand Trine, Mars–Pluto Tension 22 - 28 Sept 25

We’re coming off the back of eclipse season and can already feel the change in the air, both with the shift of season and the intensity of the eclipses. This is a week to lean into the earth element for grounding, holding steady as we navigate transition and instability. We remain in earth for one more week before fully entering the autumn season and the energy of the metal element, which calls us to let go, gather the treasures, and create space. Libra season begins this week with energy and movement, marked by an opposition to Neptune followed by a trine to Uranus and Pluto, forming a harmonious grand trine. At the same time, a Mars–Pluto square brings tension and friction, further energising what is already a dynamic week. Lets take a look at what’s happening:

Sunday 21st September

Virgo Solar Eclipse @ 29 degrees

• A powerful moment of closure, marking the end of a cycle and inviting us to release what no longer serves.

• The Virgo energy helps us to process, digest, and purify—clearing space physically, mentally, and emotionally.

• With the South Node involved, this eclipse emphasises cleansing, letting go, and shedding layers we’ve outgrown.

Sun Enters Libra

• We shift from Virgo’s detail-focused earth energy into Libra’s harmonious, relational, and conceptual air.

• Libra season is about balance and justice—an invitation to create equilibrium in our lives as we cross the threshold between light and dark.

• As an air sign, Libra brings objectivity, helping us see situations from new perspectives.

• This is also the season of beauty, harmony, and relationships—both with others and with ourselves.

• Being a cardinal sign, Libra initiates. It’s the beginning of a new cycle of connection, relationship, and creative collaboration.

Mars Enters Scorpio

• Mars finds its strength here, in its home sign of Scorpio, bringing intensity and unwavering focus.

• This placement brings deep drive and persistence—Scorpio is fixed and does not give up.

• The energy is direct, concentrated, almost tunnel-visioned—powerful if channelled well.

• Mars meets Pluto early on, heightening transformation and intensifying the drive to dig deep.

Tuesday 23rd September

Sun in Libra Opposes Neptune in Aries @ 0 degrees

• This alignment can bring a dreamy, idealistic quality, stirring visions and hopes.

• It opens a doorway to ideals and aspirations we might not normally access, but it requires grounding to avoid slipping into illusion.

• The opposition highlights tension between clarity and fantasy—between what we long for and what can stand in the clear light of day.

Wednesday 24th September

Sun in Libra Trines Uranus in Gemini @ 1 degree

• This transit offers a shake-up that helps us realign with our authentic path.

• It brings an awakening energy—Uranus jolts us forward, while the Sun’s light illuminates what needs to shift.

• In air signs, the movement may come through ideas, insights, or fresh perspectives.

Sun in Libra Trines Pluto in Aquarius @ 1 degree

• A potent moment of transformation, illuminating new ways of doing things.

• This is a deeply powerful transit, completing a grand trine in air with the Sun in Libra, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius.

• Expect breakthroughs, shifts in understanding, and an energising sense of enlightenment—earthquaking, expansive, and transformative.

Mars in Scorpio Squares Pluto in Aquarius @ 1 degree

• A clash of forces—Mars as action, drive, and fire meeting Pluto as power, transformation, and destruction.

• This square can feel intense and even volatile, stirring up power struggles or moments of friction.

• If channelled consciously, it can fuel powerful breakthroughs, pushing us into deep change and renewal.
