Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of September 15 to 21, 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 September 15 to 21, 2025 opens under an intense sky, dominated by the Sun in Virgo, which emphasizes precision, discernment, and a sense of organization. The Moon moves through Cancer and then Leo, passes into Gemini before entering Virgo, setting up an emotional climate that shifts between protective inwardness, creative affirmation, mental mobility, and analytical focus.

The fast planets multiply their interactions: the Sun and Mercury in Virgo successively form sextiles, trines, and oppositions to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, generating a network of contradictory energies. Rational and pragmatic momentum is supported by favorable aspects that promote lucidity and innovation, but is also confronted with tensions that require clarifying benchmarks and avoiding dispersion. Venus in Leo supports Mars in Libra through a warm sextile, but also clashes with Uranian unpredictability, creating relational swings between harmony and destabilization. Mars, for its part, confronts Pluto, intensifying power struggles and the drive for transformation.

Three notable shifts punctuate the period: on Wednesday the 17th, Lilith enters Scorpio in retrograde motion, intensifying depth, lucidity, and the search for authenticity; on Saturday the 20th, the North Node turns retrograde again in Pisces, redirecting the collective trajectory into a phase of review; and on Sunday the 21st, Lilith resumes direct motion at 20°35' Scorpio while Venus crosses into Virgo, redirecting both relational energy and collective dynamics toward greater realism and clarity. In the background, the long-lasting aspects of the slow planets continue their work of progressive transformation and structural readjustment.
