All About Venus In Leo & Mars In Libra

Today the week opens under one of the sweetest alignments of the season as Venus in Leo and Mars in Libra form a sextile at 26 degrees. Venus softens Mars’ pursuit, Mars gives Venus’ desire momentum, and together they bring affection, attraction, and play into the air. This is not energy that demands work or strain, it is energy that reminds us that connection, flirtation, and warmth are part of progress too. Relationships carry more ease, creative projects feel inspired, and even professional exchanges benefit from the charm this sextile brings. 

Remember these ten truths as you move through the glow: desire and action are in harmony, affection flows naturally, creative sparks take hold, pursuit feels lighter, attraction intensifies, social bonds are nourished, masculine and feminine energies within balance easily, cooperation strengthens, joy amplifies progress, and love itself acts as a quiet form of momentum.

By Wednesday the tone changes. Mercury in Virgo will oppose Saturn retrograde in Pisces at 29 degrees. This is a day when you may not feel social, when responsibilities weigh heavier, or when the atmosphere simply contracts. Do not resist this. Use it as a day for concentration, for detail-oriented work, for quiet tasks that require focus. If you feel tired, honor it. Step away when you need to, and do not feel guilty for needing space. Saturn’s opposition is fleeting and will pass quickly.

Thursday, September 18th, is complex. Mercury in Libra will oppose Neptune retrograde in Aries at 1 degree, while at the same time forming trines to Uranus retrograde in Gemini and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This is a day of genius insight and deep research coupled with confusion and distortion. Neptune casts a haze where facts blur and illusions rise, while Uranus and Pluto sharpen your mind, delivering ideas that can be radical and transformative. The challenge is knowing which is which. Do not take everything at face value. Write down the insights that arrive, check the facts twice, and hold onto your personal truth. Under skies like this, a clear path is possible, but it seems like clarity comes only when you stay anchored.

Later on the 18th, Mercury enters Libra. Conversations will lean toward diplomacy, balance, and harmony. It becomes easier to weigh both sides of an issue, to negotiate, and to seek fairness. But the shadow of Mercury in Libra is indecision, people-pleasing, or smoothing tension at the expense of truth. In relationships, dialogue strengthens bonds, in work collaboration thrives, in self-care balance becomes a priority, and in family dynamics tension can ease provided that appearances do not take precedence over authenticity. This is no time to hide what you really mean, or need. 

The very next day, on Friday, September 19th, Venus enters Virgo. Where Venus in Leo expressed boldly, Venus in Virgo loves through refinement, simplicity, and care for detail. Relationships thrive through acts of service and honesty. Work benefits from polishing and precision. Self-care becomes practical and daily routines, nutrition, and simple rituals carry so much weight. Family bonds strengthen too but definitely not through drama but through reliability, and through the steady weaving of self care into daily life.

And while the week is full, know that another incredible threshold is approaching. On Monday, September 21st, the sky will deliver a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo at 29 degrees. The final degree of any sign is critical, and in Virgo it speaks to completion, culmination, and the release of patterns that have outlived their purpose. Endings and initiations will arrive together, and the Eclipse will demand that you trust your intuition and surrender to it.

This is an Eclipse that will reset the Virgo part of your chart entirely, definitely a moment that cannot be ignored. We will explore its depth, meaning, and application fully in our next newsletter on Wednesday. For now, let the warmth of Venus and Mars, the quiet of Saturn’s reminder, the detoxifying energy of Uranus and Pluto, and the refinement of Mercury and Venus guide you through the days ahead, preparing you for the Eclipse to come. Definitely come back this Wednesday for more, I’ve got so much to tell you. 

Mantras:

Attraction moves through the world as ease, connection, and warmth.

Truth steadies even when illusion rises.

Every choice is refined and carried forward by love.
