Oct. 13, 2025 ~ Venus Enters Libra

Venus in Libra is in its natural home, a place where love, balance, and beauty flow with ease. This placement thrives on connection and seeks harmony in relationships, valuing fairness and mutual understanding above all else. Venus in Libra reminds us that love is both an art and an agreement, something to be crafted with grace and respect.

As a love language, Venus in Libra speaks through kindness, charm, and attentiveness. It communicates affection not through grand gestures but through creating peace and equality between partners. When we embody Venus in Libra, we learn that true romance is about listening, appreciating, and creating a shared space of togetherness.

In non-romantic areas, Venus in Libra draws us toward diplomacy, social grace, and the art of compromise. This energy helps us smooth the rough edges in our interactions and find common ground even amidst conflict. Through Venus in Libra, we discover that even our most prickly connections can be strengthened by resonance and mutual respect.

This is also a powerful time to reconnect with what we find beautiful and harmonious in life. Venus in Libra, acting as the focal point of a kite pattern with the outer planets, offers a moment of balance and clarity amid deeper collective tensions. By aligning our outer world with our inner aesthetic, we can use Venus in Libra as a point of resolution, channeling intensity into harmony.

Venus in Libra invites us to move through life with elegance, fairness, and love. It teaches that beauty is not all face-value, it is the reflection of balance and connection within our values. When we honor the lessons of Venus in Libra, we become both the artist and the artwork in the sacred dance of connection and relationship.

September 22, 2025 ~ Mars Enters Scorpio

Mars in Scorpio brings an intensity to relationships that is impossible to ignore. Connections often move beyond the surface, digging into hidden motivations and unspoken desires. Trust, loyalty, and emotional depth become non-negotiable, and conflicts may take on a transformative quality that seeks absolution through passion and reconciliation.

While Mars is often associated with the sign of Aries, it is also the traditional ruler of Scorpio. In relationships, its expression here is more subtle and strategic than in Aries. Where Aries reveals Mars as the warrior who pursues openly, Mars in Scorpio emerges as the archetypal spy, navigating intimacy through insight and emotional perception.

In relationships, Mars in Scorpio fuels sensuality, magnetism, and passion, creating bonds that feel destined. Physical intimacy becomes more than an act and opens a pathway into emotional merging, where attraction carries a sense of inevitability. This placement seeks a partner willing to share everything, body and soul, in a union that can feel both healing and consuming.

When Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius, relationships may face tension between personal intensity and collective ideals. The bond can feel pressured by external change or evolving visions, yet the positive reception between Mars in Scorpio and Pluto, the modern ruler of this sign, allows this tension to become fuel for growth. In love, this often appears as challenges that ultimately deepen intimacy and create a stronger and more purposeful connection.

Overall, Mars in Scorpio in relationships is about depth, devotion, and transformation. It compels partners to face vulnerability and desire with honesty while demanding authenticity and loyalty. Love under this influence is never light or casual but a journey into passion that seeks to renew and empower both people involved.

The Fall equinox is traditionally regarded as a time of reaping the harvest and also a time of balance between the dark half and the light half of the year. As is customary this time of year, I've been reflecting a lot on balance, and this idea of a balancing act. What I find interesting

From the creator and author of Tarot of Trees, TreeLore Oracle, Plant Spirit Oracle and more.

Wishing everyone a blessed fall equinox. This is certainly a time of challenges and many of us feel lost in an increasingly unbalanced world. Equinox is the time of balance between light and dark, and it is a good time to seek balance in our lives. The salmon of wisdom, guardian of the west and sacred guide of the fall eqinox, reminds us to lean into our intuition and embrace the wisdom of nature to seek balance, resilience, and strength.

Venus in Virgo brings the love language of service into our relationships, reminding us that the smallest acts of care often speak the loudest. Whether it’s remembering someone’s preferences, offering help with daily tasks, or quietly supporting from the background, this placement finds beauty in the practical. Venus in Virgo teaches us that devotion is shown through consistency, reliability, and tending to the well-being of others.

Venus in Virgo also calls us to be discerning in love, as this sign placement is considered to be in fall, where idealism yields to practicality. Rather than being swept away by romantic fantasy, Venus in Virgo grounds us in asking what truly works in the long run. This energy encourages us to choose connections that are healthy, functional, and aligned with shared values.

With Venus in Virgo, attention to detail becomes a guiding force in how we show up for love. Nothing goes unnoticed, whether it’s the subtle shifts in tone, body language, or the small gestures that keep relationships strong. This placement asks us to refine, polish, and tend quietly to the daily weaving of connection.

Venus in Virgo serves as the focal point of a Yod pattern involving the outer planets, magnifying the importance of relationships in a broader, cosmic sense. This configuration acts like a sacred arrow, pointing us toward transformation through earthy intimacy and practical cooperation. This can be a turning point that invites us into the practical aspects of our relationships as the energy of the outer planets drives great change.

Venus in Virgo reminds us that love is not only found in grand gestures, but in the steady rhythm of care, trust, and mutual support. It calls us to bring discernment, detail, and devotion into our connections, helping them flourish with quiet strength. With Venus in Virgo, we discover that love’s true power often lies in the simple, everyday acts that sustain us.

This week in relationships:

Today, Saturn stations retrograde in fiery Aries, joining Neptune in backward motion through the same sign. This retrograde conjunction ushers in a period of introspection around themes of collective responsibility and the dissolution of perceived authority. We are asked to re-examine what is real and what is illusion through a more inward, discerning lens. Neptune’s retrograde clouds the surface of things, casting a veil of dreamlike ambiguity over our shared ideals, while also compelling our spiritual vision to confront the Saturnian truths we may have evaded in our forward march. Together, these retrograde planets invite us to question not only the nature of reality, but whether those we look to for leadership are true embodiments of responsible authority, or simply archetypal projections born of disowned fears and longings.

On Saturday, the Sun in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, creating challenges in fully stepping into the role of the nurturing healer for others while we are still working through our own wounds around sovereignty and self-doubt. This aspect can dredge up deep emotional tension, especially within familial relationships, where unresolved conflicts and old, painful patterns may surface. It asks us to balance self-care with care for others and to acknowledge that healing others often begins by healing ourselves.

As the week ends, Venus in Gemini approaches a square to Mars in Virgo, bringing tension between the desire for freedom and exploration in relationships and the urge to focus our energy on practical and sensible matters. Venus in Gemini seeks connection through curiosity and variety, while Mars in Virgo pushes for order and efficiency. The good news is that both signs are ruled by Mercury, making clear and open communication a valuable tool to navigate this friction and find balance. Focusing on mutual intellectual respect can help resolve conflicts and align intentions during this transit.

Monarchs are on track to go extinct. Unfortunately, people have been taught milkw**d, is just a w**d. They feed off of it and even cocoon. This is a few in my garden.

We don't use pesticides, and only DE in my garden. It has been said that in our lifetime they will probably go extinct if we keep treating the earth bad.
