This week brings a powerful cosmic contrast that might leave you feeling pulled in two directions; calm on the outside, but stirred up within. Coming off Sunday’s Virgo eclipse, we’re still riding a wave of emotional integration and clarity, but Monday shakes things up again as Mars enters Scorpio, and the Sun shifts into Libra, bringing both depth and balance into sharp contrast.
As the Sun enters Libra on Monday, we’re invited to seek balance, beauty, and connection. But underneath, deeper forces are moving. The Autumn Equinox arrives the same day, marking a turning point in energy and intention. Also on Monday, Mars moves into Scorpio, firing up emotions and intensifying everything from personal drive to interpersonal dynamics.
Midweek, Mars squares Pluto, which can trigger control issues, emotional outbursts, or moments of truth, especially if something’s been festering. The eclipse energy from Sunday lingers, so go easy on yourself. Fortunately, by Friday, the Moon enters Sagittarius, giving us a chance to breathe, laugh, and gain perspective.
Sun enters Libra (Autumn Equinox): Monday, September 22
Relationships are under the microscope this week, but not in a soft-focus, romantic kind of way. With Mars entering Scorpio on Monday, we move into emotional x-ray vision mode. Everything unsaid? It's louder now. Feelings get sharper, jealousy or power plays may surface, and secrets don’t stay hidden long. Mars in Scorpio demands emotional honesty, even if it's messy.
The real tension peaks by Wednesday, when Mars squares Pluto in Aquarius. This is one of the more volatile transits of the month and can trigger heated conversations, especially in close relationships or past partnerships. If you feel backed into a corner or tempted to dig your heels in... Pause. This energy is reactive, but also revealing. It shows where you're holding on too tightly, or where control has replaced connection.
If something combusts, try not to see it as a crisis. It might just be a necessary breaking point. By Friday, the Sagittarius Moon brings perspective. Conversations can become lighter, more future-oriented, and less tangled in emotional loops. If you’ve been feeling stuck in your head or heart, Friday is your best bet for clearing the air or reconnecting with someone through laughter, shared vision, or just a deep exhale.
Careers & Work
Work dynamics may feel especially charged this week. The eclipse that just passed on Sunday is still leaving its fingerprints on how we approach productivity and purpose. If something about your work life has been nagging at you—whether it’s burnout, alignment, or long-term vision—it probably bubbled to the surface already. Now the universe wants to know what you plan to do with that awareness.
Mars moving into Scorpio on Monday amplifies ambition. You might feel more driven than usual, but also more protective of your ideas, energy, or time. The shadow side of this placement can show up as passive-aggressiveness or competitiveness, especially in team settings. Keep an eye on your reactions if someone crosses a boundary or questions your direction.
The biggest red flag moment is Wednesday’s Mars-Pluto square. This can signal power struggles with a boss, coworker, or collaborator. Resist the urge to micromanage or retaliate. If you're working through tech issues, contract negotiations, or authority conflicts, give yourself extra time and try not to rush decisions.
The good news? By Friday, the Moon in Sagittarius helps shake off the heaviness and reignite your motivation. If your week felt bogged down in interpersonal static, Friday is ideal for planning, pitching, or simply taking a breather to reconnect with the bigger picture.
Emotionally, this week might feel like standing in a storm while trying to stay balanced on one foot. The Virgo eclipse still lingers, and many of us are in "clearing out" mode; mentally, emotionally, physically. This isn’t the kind of week to overload your schedule or push yourself to “keep it together” for the sake of appearances.
With Mars in Scorpio, emotional intensity increases. You may find yourself spiralling into overthinking, overfeeling, or revisiting old grudges. Let yourself go there if you need to, but don’t set up camp. Movement helps: literally. Get your body involved. Take a walk, dance, sweat, scream into a pillow. Do something to move the emotional energy through.
By Friday, the Moon shifts into Sagittarius, and the fog begins to lift. This is a wonderful window to check back in with your goals, your sense of humour, and your bigger dreams. Even if the week started heavy, it doesn’t have to stay that way. The cosmos is giving us a solid reminder: transformation can be messy, but it’s often the path to clarity.
Let things move through you. You’re not behind. You’re right on time.
