Your Predictions - Mars + Mercury in Libra & Saturn’s Purva Bhadrapada

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.

Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada Pada 4 ~ Real world emotional work

Saturn, planet of karma and success, enters pada (part) four of Purva Bhadrapada from October 3rd 2025, to Jan 20th 2026, the area that relates to Cancer navamsha, ruled by the Moon.

This retrograde transit is a repeat of Saturn’s movement from late March to late April of 2025, and issues from that time now resurface. You may have a long-term structural challenge and appreciate that more time and effort are involved, and also see the life-shaping impact of events of the last six months. Saturn shifts back to the first degrees of zodiacal Pisces at this point, where a new chapter of experience begins in a doubly water-ruled transit focusing on emotional security.

You are consolidating these changes and deciding how far you will integrate spiritual and empathic qualities into your daily business. Moon-ruled Purva Pada Four combines Saturn’s material and practical nature with a lunar intuition and empathy. You take real-world measures to protect and preserve your and loved ones’ feelings and basic needs, which may also see you consolidate your living space, or even invest in property.

Powerful emotions arise when you go deeply into meditation. Family issues also arise when you are aware of long-standing connections and duties you are expected to meet. Pada Four in general also relates to the Moksha tendency, where you concentrate on spiritual and liberating efforts, and may have a relationship with a teacher or specific knowledge path. From October 18th to December 6th, Saturn is powerfully affected by Jupiter, the planet of expansion.

This harmonious influence allows you to strike a balance between adventure and sustainability, and is an excellent point to budget and plan ahead confidently.
