Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of September 22 to 28, 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 22 to 28, 2025 opens with the Sun entering Libra on Tuesday the 23rd, marking a symbolic shift toward the autumn equinox and a climate focused on balance, dialogue, and cooperation. The Moon travels through Libra, Scorpio, and then Sagittarius, setting an evolving emotional tone that moves from the search for harmony to inner intensity, before expanding toward broader and more inspiring horizons.

The fast planets weave a dynamic pattern: the Sun, at the end of Virgo and then in Libra, forms oppositions with Saturn and Neptune and trines with Uranus and Pluto, blending realism, clarity, and inspiration. Venus in Virgo supports Mars in Scorpio through a fertile sextile, while also clashing with Uranus, heightening surprises and sudden shifts in the emotional sphere. Mars, having just entered Scorpio, strengthens intensity and combativeness, while its square with Pluto intensifies power struggles and the drive for radical transformation.

Two events mark the period: on Monday the 22nd, Mars crosses into Scorpio, reinforcing focus and strength of action; and on Tuesday the 23rd, the Sun enters Libra, inaugurating a more collective and relational phase. In the background, the slow planets maintain their lasting aspects, continuing their work of structural readjustment and progressive transformation.
