Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of September 29 to October 5, 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 29 to October 5, 2025 opens under the influence of the Sun in Libra, highlighting the search for balance, dialogue and cooperation. The Moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius and then Pisces, shaping an evolving atmosphere: first oriented toward organization and control, then turning to innovation and collective spirit, before ending in a more sensitive and receptive tone.

The fast planets shape a contrasting climate: Mercury in Libra forms a square to Jupiter and then to Pluto, creating both an expansion of perspectives and intense debates. Venus in Virgo softens the atmosphere through a sextile to Jupiter, supporting trust and generosity, while Mars in Scorpio, in its own sign, imposes a combative and strategic intensity, reinforced by its square to Pluto. This combination underlines the need to channel energies within a constructive framework.

Two events mark the week: on Tuesday 30, the North Node turns direct in Pisces before returning retrograde on Sunday 5, emphasizing a phase of transition and evolutionary reorientation; and throughout the week, the active square between Mars and Pluto recalls a climate of tension and power struggles, potentially generating conflicts or excess violence. In the background, the slow planets maintain their lasting aspects, continuing their work of progressive mutation and collective readjustment.
