Mars, Mercury Conjunction (in Libra) ~ Assert yourself sweetly
Mercury, planet of thought, comes together with action-oriented Mars in Libra from October 3rd to 24th, 2025.
This combination in a thinking-oriented air sign increases your mental energy and makes your wishes known clearly. You are smart and persuasive, but also ready to talk tough and give an ultimatum. There is a risk of irritable speech and argument under this transit, where you demand an exchange of views and have people close to you respond. You will accept anything except being ignored. Mercury and Mars are planetary enemies, which may create harsh speech, and perhaps an over-critical approach, or airing an unpopular truth.
You get the final credit for being right, but a frustrated or unspoken detail may also come out in a rash moment. Libra is a charming and diplomatic sign; however, this is a great time for taking an issue through the proper channels, where you put your views across without creating conflict. You can assert yourself subtly, perhaps without people even realizing you are doing it. There is also a competitive quality to your conversation, where tension arises over who is first to an idea or solution.
You have good intuition for people and puzzles, and this is an opportunity to showcase your mechanical skills and problem-solving ability. The supportive influence of Jupiter, planet of philosophy, up to October 18th, gives you inspiration and the freedom to plan ahead, and this is also a good time for studying and meeting an academic deadline. A teacher or knowledgeable person may be at hand to give you guidance, and being fully informed on a subject allows you to defend yourself in a hot debate.

Sun, Venus Conjunction (in Virgo) ~ Asking a romantic question
The light-giving Sun and Venus, planet of relationships, come together in Virgo from October 9th to 17th, 2025.
These two planetary enemies have a subtle effect on each other, while remaining far enough apart in Virgo to operate independently in their own styles. Venus’s aura of charm and diplomacy is not burnt up in the Sun’s rays, and you feel friendly and gregarious with a desire to reach out to others. There is a risk of over-analysing a relationship with Venus in Virgo, where you try too hard and end up leaving your partner feeling ill at ease.
Venus exchanges signs with clever Mercury through this transit, however, which calms some of your native shyness, and you are readier to be in the moment and go with the flow. You are lively in conversation and take an interest in people, and this is potentially an excellent time for networking and advancing your career. Your PR skills stand out, and you can win friends by creating introductions between people in your contact list. Sharing and compromise may be so natural at this time, in fact, that you ignore your outside work and practical business. This is a good time to channel your energy and skills into artwork and creativity, where you express yourself naturally and produce solid results.
You may find romantic interest coming to you spontaneously, and you are in the mood to pursue an unexpected attraction. October 9th to 12th especially needs a balance between your social life and work commitments, and somebody close to you may be temporarily unavailable. The influence of Saturn throws you back on your own resources, but you also think more deeply about love and commitment, and have a serious proposal when your partner reappears.

Mars, Sun Conjunction (in Libra) ~ Act quickly on a smart plan
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.
Oct 27 - Nov 23
Mercury, Mars Conjunction (in Scorpio) ~ Using words as weapons
Mercury, planet of thought, comes together with forceful, assertive Mars in Scorpio from October 27th to November 23rd 2025.
This is a great transit for mental energy and making your wishes known clearly. Part of you prefers to keep your thinking private and to rely on hints or suggestions, but you are also ready to speak up openly, and even issue your orders. Scorpio likes to maintain privacy; however, so pick your battles carefully: it’s best to have a definite place or outlet for your opinions. You can complain and campaign effectively, both on your own and on behalf of other people, and make a fearless voice for a point or principle.
Your quiet intensity counts for a lot, and people listen when you have something to say. Mercury and Mars are also planetary enemies, so there is a risk of speaking harshly, and perhaps being over-critical or airing an unpopular truth. You get the ultimate credit for being right, but a frustrated or unspoken detail may also come out in a rash moment, where it is hard to take your words back. Certainly, you can get into an argument where a small domestic issue blows up into a major disagreement, and you are both unwilling to back down.
There is also a mentally competitive quality now, and a dispute may arise over who is first to an idea or solution. Mercury turns retrograde on November 10th, while very close to Mars, and you should resist pressure to make a decision. Facts change at the last minute, and a delay at this point is frustrating, but also gives you time to think. Consider an impulse purchase or hasty promise carefully, especially on November 13th.
