Mars, Sun Conjunction in Libra - October 17 to October 27

The Sun, planet of light and self, comes together with dynamic Mars in Libra from October 17th to 27th, 2025.

This conjunction of planetary friends energises each one and gives you the potential for inspired work with a strong driving edge. The Sun begins this transit at the start of Libra, in Chittra, up to October 24th, while Mars moves through Vishakha. The two planets remain close enough to influence each other, but far enough apart that Mars keeps its competitive power without being burnt up in the Sun’s rays. You have pride invested in your work and find success with a straightforward approach and assertive quality that may be missing at other times.

This transit is a sharp contrast to your usual measured approach, and you may jump into action with only an initial thought. You ask openly for what you want and also bite back if anyone tries to interfere in your business. Be careful that you don’t go too far in the opposite diplomatic direction, and choose your moment and the right company to air your views. People respect that you are putting in long hours, but you can come across in a pushy way, especially if you are in a hurry and chasing a deadline.

It would suit you to work independently through this transit, without too much oversight or interference from higher-up management. The influence of shadowy Rahu gives you a potential new approach and an opportunity to experiment in your business. You may follow a foreign or unusual style in your daily routine, and have a flair for real-world politics where you know how to get things done.

Venus in Hasta - October 17 to October 27

Venus, planet of relating and luxury, is in the nakshatra of Hasta in the sign of Virgo from October 17th to 27th, 2025.

This nakshatra is symbolised by the Hand and is known for taking and receiving, and all activities associated with handicraft. You may encounter people who are open-handed in their affections, or else you test the waters yourself in a situation before declaring your position. Venus’s power is enhanced by its sign-exchange with clever Mercury up to October 24th, and your quirky, questioning approach takes on a positive charm.

You no longer appear to be working too hard in a relationship, but go with the flow of chemistry and conversation. Don’t overthink your partnership or play romantic games – it’s better to be transparent, even if you think you are not getting the same treatment in return. Venus likes to be on good terms with everyone, so consider making peace and shaking hands after a disagreement. This is a good time for crafts, handiwork, and skills with an earthy Venusian flavour, so take the chance to show off your creative touch and prove what you can do.

The glance of ambitious Saturn through this whole transit focuses your mind and brings a serious and mature approach to your love affairs. Your partner may be away or unavailable for a time, and you must balance the demands of business and maintaining a social life. Achieving your goals comes through effort and repetition, though Saturn and Venus work well with Hasta’s Shakti or unique power, for Manifestation, where you can literally put into your hands that which you dream or desire.

Sun Debilitation in Libra - October 17 to November 16

The Sun is in the sign of Libra, its sign of debilitation, from October 17th to November 16th, 2025.

Libra is a movable sign that instigates change, but the Sun here is caught by a desire for balance and harmony, which can hold back your positive initiative. You are romantic and relationship-oriented at this point in the year, and have pride wrapped up in your personal affairs. Play to your strengths by expanding your social life and taking centre-stage in a group endeavour that achieves more than you can working solo.

Sun is aided by its planetary friend Mars up to October 27th, which gives an immediacy that brings your plans to life without too much second-guessing. You are ambitious and action-oriented, and Mars also puts the emphasis on you and your own plans, rather than going too far under other people’s agenda. From October 25th to November 2nd, the Sun is flanked by benevolent planets Mercury and Venus, which gives you even greater charm and sociability. This is a good window to negotiate and persuade, and you get support for your plans from bosses, friends, and family.

Sun is also supported after this date when it is joined by Venus in Libra, strong in its own sign. Venus lifts the Sun’s level, and your indecision becomes a wiser and more balanced view, and you can help others by being an impartial voice in a dispute. This is excellent for politics and taking the lead in a creative effort. Your artistic ambitions are also favoured, and you bring an aesthetic quality into your work, and may be involved on the design and public relations side of any business.
