Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 25

Mercury opposes Neptune this morning but heads toward a trine to Pluto later today.

Mercury’s opposition to Neptune can obscure our viewpoint. We may vacillate between two very different visions of a matter when the truth is likely somewhere in between. Discrepancies that challenge our thinking can emerge, and concentrating on technical facts can be difficult. We could find ourselves on a mental teeter-totter, see-sawing between fact and fiction! If our minds wander now, it may be that we’ve recently neglected to feed our imaginations.

With this transit, we should watch for misrepresenting ourselves, overlooking critical practical details, and self-defeating thoughts. However, this can be a good time to stretch our thinking and dream up possibilities we might miss on a regular day.

As the day advances, however, our resolve and concentration strengthen. There can be an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. We gravitate to looking for truths and unexplored topics and ideas. It’s a time to gain a deeper understanding of a matter. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention.

We might discover new information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve been avoiding. It’s an excellent time to let go of something that has kept us bound to negative elements of the past.

A Mars-Uranus semi-square, a potentially challenging aspect, adds an impatient edge to the day’s energies. This could lead to conflicts or impulsive behaviors, especially if we feel trapped, restricted, or limited. We should watch for these tendencies while seeking creative, inventive ways to get ahead.

Also today, Saturn forms a semi-square with Pluto. This is the second of three formations, the first of which happened in May 2024 and the third in the set to occur in January 2025.

This outer planet transit with longer-term influence points to possible power struggles, frustration, and manipulation. We may recognize the need for change but feel blocked by others or by circumstances, or we might attempt to stubbornly hold on to what has worked for us in the past.

However, persistence will pay off in the end, and the need to adjust our expectations becomes obvious. This is a time to be determined and adaptable.
