Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of October 6 to 12, 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 6 to 12, 2025 opens under the continuing solar cycle in Libra, emphasizing balance, cooperation, and diplomacy. The Moon moves successively through Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and finally Cancer, bringing a gradual emotional evolution: first dynamic and assertive, then more concrete and realistic, before opening to communication. Over the weekend, as the Moon enters Cancer on Sunday the 12th, the tone becomes more intimate and emotional, centered on family and personal feelings.

The fast-moving planets set a tone strongly influenced by Venus, particularly active this week. In Virgo, she forms several consecutive aspects with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, weaving a complex pattern between realism in feelings and inspired impulses. Mercury, leaving Libra to enter Scorpio on Tuesday the 7th, deepens mental focus and the search for truth, while Mars, steady in its own sign of Scorpio, channels strength with intensity and precision. The overall atmosphere is dense, perceptive, and passionate.

On a collective level, a significant change takes place: the disappearance of the Saturn-Pluto sextile, replaced by the Jupiter-Saturn trine, marks a shift toward greater cohesion and consolidation. This evolution reflects a gradual transition from a cycle of transformation to a cycle of structure. The slow planets, still retrograde, maintain overall stability while subtly redirecting collective dynamics.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For the week of October 6 to 12, 2025, the global configuration evolves slightly: one aspect fades while another emerges, with the notable appearance of the Jupiter–Saturn trine, as the Saturn–Pluto sextile becomes inactive.

• Retrograde Saturn (Pisces) sextile retrograde Uranus (Gemini) represents a rare synergy between order and innovation. This planetary combination provides ideal conditions for reforms that are both patient and daring, where structure adapts without breaking and progress takes shape within realistic frameworks. On a global scale, it can support the implementation of innovative public policies or the modernization of long-standing institutions, provided internal tensions are managed with coherence and consistency.
• 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, giving form to ethical or visionary pursuits through concrete commitments. It can signal the rise of charismatic leaders with a collective mission or the emergence of institutions with strong symbolic resonance, though it also calls for caution against seductive illusions and rigid utopias.
• Jupiter (Cancer) trine retrograde Saturn (Pisces) establishes a constructive balance between growth and responsibility. This aspect supports steady progress, careful organization, and the consolidation of previous achievements. Collectively, it promotes solid alliances and cooperation between old and new models, between ambition and wisdom.
• Retrograde Uranus (Gemini) sextile retrograde Neptune (Aries) unites inspiration with the spirit of progress. It fosters a climate favorable to meaningful technological advances and to connecting collective intuition with practical innovation. This configuration encourages bridges between science and spirituality, digital networks and human awareness, idealism and social efficiency. It carries the seeds of new forms of solidarity and learning adapted to the digital age.
• Retrograde Uranus (Gemini) trine retrograde Pluto (Aquarius) activates a powerful dynamic of social regeneration. It is an aspect of quiet yet determined revolution, where changes unfold naturally in areas such as technology, shared governance, and collective infrastructure. It enhances the transformation of communication systems, the rise of collective intelligence, and the deep questioning of established paradigms.
• Retrograde Neptune (Aries) sextile retrograde Pluto (Aquarius) works deeply within the collective unconscious. This subtle current supports the emergence of new worldviews that gently break from previous models. It encourages the renewal of shared beliefs, the symbolic rebirth of political or spiritual ideals, and the gradual reshaping of the invisible structures underlying societies. The long-term movements it inspires may go unnoticed at first yet profoundly redefine the collective imagination.

Conclusion

The week of October 6 to 12, 2025 stands out for its blend of clarity and inner tension. The Sun in Libra continues to inspire balance and dialogue, while Mars in Scorpio strengthens determination and depth of purpose. The overall atmosphere moves between restraint and intensity, seeking to unite passion with control.

The numerous aspects of Venus shape both communication and emotions, revealing a mix of realism, inspiration, and a need for clarity. Mercury in Scorpio favors keen observation and insight, encouraging a deeper understanding of situations without disrupting relational harmony.

In the background, the slower planets evolve: the new trine between Jupiter and Saturn introduces a climate of constructive stability and long-term balance, while the end of the Saturn–Pluto sextile eases structural tensions. This transition marks a step toward a more stable reorganization, supported by the gradual maturation of major collective cycles.
