Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of October 13 to 19, 2025

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the True North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of October 13 to 19, 2025 opens under a Sun still in Libra, continuing its work of harmonization and balance. The Moon begins in Cancer, then moves through Leo and Virgo before ending the week in Libra, accompanying an emotional evolution that goes from the need for protection to expression, then to precision and finally to cooperation. On Sunday the 19th, its conjunction with the Sun heightens the desire for unity and agreement in a calmer atmosphere.

The fast-moving sky is marked by Venus entering Libra on Tuesday the 14th, a key event of the week. After Virgo's selectiveness, the emotional climate regains charm, lightness, and a taste for dialogue. Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio intensifies thought and decision-making, giving communication a sharp yet lucid quality. Together, these influences create an atmosphere of controlled passion, where emotions become more strategic and bonds more self-aware.

On a collective level, the disappearance of the Saturn–Uranus sextile simplifies the background pattern without disturbing its balance. The major cycles continue around the Jupiter–Saturn trine and the lasting links between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, maintaining equilibrium between stability and evolution. Pluto’s shift to direct motion on Tuesday the 14th strengthens this trend: transformations that had been internal now begin to manifest more clearly in social structures and collective mindsets.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For the week of October 13 to 19, 2025, the overall configuration becomes slightly simpler: one aspect fewer than the previous week, with the disappearance of the Saturn–Uranus sextile. The major planetary balances remain steady, supporting a climate of structured evolution and gradual transformation without abrupt change.

• Retrograde Saturn (Pisces) conjunct Retrograde Neptune (Aries) marks a moment of crystallization between spiritual aspiration and the demand for reality. This aspect encourages embodying high ideals in tangible projects and giving form to an ethical or visionary calling through concrete commitments. It may indicate the rise of charismatic leaders driven by collective purpose or of social structures with strong symbolic meaning, though it calls for caution against seductive illusions or rigid utopias.
• Jupiter (Cancer) trine Retrograde Saturn (Pisces) establishes a climate of constructive stability and balance between expansion and responsibility. This aspect favors sustainable growth, prudent organization, and the consolidation of past achievements. On a collective level, it supports solid alliances and cooperation between old and new models, between ambition and wisdom.
• Retrograde Uranus (Gemini) sextile Retrograde Neptune (Aries) unites the quest for inspiration with the drive for progress. It creates a climate favorable to meaningful technological advances and the blending of collective intuition with concrete innovation. This configuration encourages bridges between science and spirituality, between digital networks and human awareness, between idealism and social efficiency. It plants the seeds for new ways of envisioning solidarity or education in the digital age.
• Retrograde Uranus (Gemini) trine Pluto (Aquarius) activates a powerful dynamic of social regeneration. This is an aspect of calm yet determined revolution, where changes arise naturally in areas such as technology, shared governance, and collective infrastructures. It emphasizes the transformation of communication systems, the rise of new collective intelligences, and deep reassessments of established paradigms.
• Retrograde Neptune (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) works deeply within the collective unconscious. This underlying current fosters the emergence of new worldviews, often in gentle break from previous models. It supports a renewal of shared beliefs, a symbolic revival of political or spiritual ideals, and a gradual transformation of the invisible structures underpinning societies. The long-term movements it generates may remain unnoticed for a time before reshaping the collective imagination.
