After the intensity of eclipse season and the deep transformations of September, the skies soften this week. There are fewer planetary movements, fewer waves demanding attention – and yet, what does unfold is meaningful, reminding us that even in quiet there are lessons, and even in stillness, growth continues.
The week is anchored by Mercury in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer on October 1, a meeting of the mind and the heart, of dialogue and belief, of balance and expansion. Supporting this transit, the Moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, weaving a rhythm of grounding, awareness, and release across the days.
This is not a week of urgency. It is a week to pause, reflect, and refine — to notice where words carry weight, where thoughts are shaped by feeling, and where balance is calling us home.
September 29, 2025: Moon in Capricorn
The week begins with the Moon in Capricorn, grounding us after the shifting tides of eclipse season. Capricorn energy invites focus, responsibility, and structure. It asks us to tend to what is practical and steady – to anchor our intentions not only in vision but in form.
This Moon can feel serious, but it is also stabilising. It reminds us that healing and transformation need containers, that dreams need action, that love becomes real when expressed through devotion. Beginning the week here allows us to settle, to find footing, to remember that the simplest acts of commitment – showing up, tending, staying present – carry profound magic.
October 1, 2025: Mercury in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, travels through Libra, seeking harmony, fairness, and clarity in the way we connect. Jupiter, planet of growth and expansion, moves through Cancer, amplifying emotion, memory, and the need for security.
When they meet in a square aspect, there is tension – yet with purpose and medicine. Mercury wants balance, diplomacy, and reason. Jupiter wants to expand, to feel deeply, to magnify emotion. The square asks us: How do we hold both? How do we speak the truth of our hearts while also honoring balance and fairness?
At its shadow, this transit can create overextension – speaking too much, overpromising, or allowing feelings to overwhelm reason. Words may tumble out more quickly than intended, beliefs may grow louder than they are rooted, and the mind may feel stretched between perspectives.
But at its highest, this transit is a bridge. It reminds us that the mind and the heart are not separate, that clarity arises when we listen to both reason and feeling. It is an invitation to refine our communication, to pause before speaking, to choose words that are both true and kind.
This square asks us to expand with discernment – to allow emotion to deepen our wisdom without overtaking it, and to allow balance to refine our expression without silencing it. It is the tension that creates growth, teaching us to integrate intellect with compassion.
October 1, 2025: Moon in Aquarius
On the same day that Mercury squares Jupiter, the Moon enters Aquarius. This pairing offers a unique lens: where Mercury and Jupiter may feel pulled between balance and feeling, Aquarius steps back and sees the bigger picture.
Aquarius brings perspective. It reminds us of our interconnectedness, our belonging to the collective, and the importance of stepping outside ourselves to see a wider truth. Under this Moon, conversations may open to include community, innovation, or vision. It is easier to detach from emotional intensity long enough to see patterns clearly.
This is supportive for the Mercury–Jupiter square. Where the tension may feel personal and heavy, Aquarius lightens the weight with perspective, showing us that every conversation, every belief, every word is part of a greater whole.
October 3, 2025: Moon in Pisces
By the end of the week, the Moon slips into Pisces, softening everything it touches. After grounding in Capricorn and perspective in Aquarius, Pisces offers release, compassion, and rest.
Here, emotions flow more easily. Dreams may speak more clearly. Intuition heightens. Pisces invites surrender – a letting go of control, a dissolving of boundaries, a remembering of our connection to the divine.
This is a beautiful energy for integration. After the lessons of Mercury square Jupiter, Pisces soothes the edges, allowing clarity to settle into the heart. It reminds us that not everything must be solved with the mind – some things are simply to be felt, held, and surrendered into love.
