After the powerful eclipse on September 20th, this week is a time of internal settlement, emotional cleansing, and course correction. Although no planets change signs, the energy is far from static: It is a cosmic break that allows us to assimilate what we've experienced and reorganize our inner selves.
The sky is dominated by the element of air, with the Sun, Mercury, Uranus, and Pluto activating conversations, thoughts, and connections. There's a need to understand, dialogue, and connect, but also the risk of being too in our heads and avoiding our feelings.
This is where the three planets in water (Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces) come in. They push us to go deeper and look at what we feel, not just what we think. This combination of air and water can be powerful if we learn to create balance—giving a voice to our feelings and holding space for what we keep silent.
The only planet in fire is Neptune, now in Aries. Neptune represents the invisible, the spiritual, and dreams… and in Aries, it becomes more direct and active. This week, we may feel a subtle but strong intuitive calling to initiate something and trust a hunch more than a rational explanation.
In earth, there is only Venus in Virgo, accompanied by the South Node. It is small, but powerful. Venus in Virgo calls for order, coherence, and emotional clarity. The South Node reminds us that it is time to let go of what no longer serves us, even if it seems useful or logical. It could be a relationship, a habit, or a way of thinking… or just the excessive demands we have within.
This whole cosmic climate speaks of one thing: integration. Don't rush, don't make hasty decisions, and don't overdo it with activities. The strength lies in observing, filtering, cleansing, and choosing more consciously. After the eclipse, it's not about doing a lot, but about doing it with purpose.
