General Daily Insight for September 25, 2025
We’re getting a day off from the planetary program. There are no particular transits syncing up right now, but after the recent hectic series of alignments we’ve experienced, that’s probably a good thing. The days ahead should also feature some gentler energy, so consider today an opportunity to catch your breath and regain a sense of peace and quiet in an otherwise hectic world. We’ve just gone through some very jarring angles, and we all deserve to show ourselves some compassion.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Finding a way to lower tension is today’s game. Contentious Mars has been making a number of extreme angles lately, but that phase is about to begin cooling down, giving you a bit of a reprieve from all this heated energy. Take a few hours, if possible, to chill out and blow off steam by making space for something less hectic and overwhelming. Find ways to bring lightness into your life, and do something that feels like a reward for all you’ve handled lately.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Seeking common ground is particularly wise at present. Your closest connections have undergone some stressful interactions recently, but that phase wasn’t permanent. At last, you can move into more progressive territory. The planets are giving you a chance to take stock of your situation and the people sitting across from you, then decide how you want to proceed. You’re going to have more say in the matter than you have in some time, so figure out your approach before proceeding in that direction.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Work, work, work! You’re in a busy cycle now that Mars is set up in your routine 6th house, but that planet has been rocketing through several irate aspects, making it difficult to feel like you’re seeing real progress. Fortunately, the warrior planet is going to be playing nice in the immediate future, so use this time to get more confident in your process and establish exactly what you need to do. Mars will give you the firepower to make it happen.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Set aside time for joy. Warrior Mars is jogging through your 5th House of Personal Pleasure, but you may not have had a ton of joy from it, due to the difficult angles Mars has recently been tangled in. Happily, those angles are evaporating! Mars is going to be bringing more fun times your way. Look to the future with hope, rather than worrying that all this heaviness will continue. There are indeed good times coming, so dive into them with abandon.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Make space for yourself. Your home is the setting for some serious action now that red-hot Mars is setting up camp in your domestic 4th house. That said, Mars has been creating a lot of stress lately, so your living space may have felt anything but calm. Now, however, the energy is lightening up and you can begin to enjoy Mars’ positive push, rather than getting dragged along by its ferocity. Use this change to bring a bit of light into your lion’s den.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Take life one step at a time. You may have been run off your feet lately while Mars trampled through the stars. Fortunately, today is quitting time for such shenanigans, since there are no particular angles of note occurring overhead. That being the case, feel free to catch your breath, rest up, and tend to whatever you must without fearing you’ll run out of time or miss something important. There is no reason to rush, so move at a gentle pace.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Staying grounded is more vital than ever. Things have been moving and shaking all over the place like a major earthquake while Mars has been rampaging throughout the cosmos. No more! As the cosmic seas calm, you can regain your footing. Look around your life and focus on the tasks that reassure your mind, showing you how everything is sorted and where it should be, rather than spread all over the place in a ramshackle fashion. You should feel worlds better as a result.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
It’s time to enter the Chill Zone. You’ve been going through a bit of a cosmic whirlwind while Mars has been acting up, and you’ve felt it more fiercely than anyone with that red warrior occupying your intense sign. The good news is that Mars is calming down, and the fierce combative energy he brought is receding in turn. Take a while to bask in the breeze. You deserve a little rest and relaxation after everything, and the stars are offering you just that.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Feeling rattled is more than valid. You’ve probably been going through a stressful few days while Mars fired off a variety of potent angles from your sleepy 12th house. Happily, Mars is taking a break — and so should you! Bask in this gentler energy by doing something to destress yourself and nurture your spirit, whatever it might be. You could take a luxurious bubble bath, or perhaps you’d prefer to be out in nature for a while. Either way, do something to decompress.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Don’t over-extend yourself. People may have been asking a lot of you recently, or perhaps your friendships have been fraught — meanwhile, Mars was sending out fiery arrows across the sky toward the other planets. Fortunately, Mars is putting down its bow and taking a rest from this war-like behavior to soothe your connections and offer peace of mind. If there have been any rocky interactions lately, peace talks are possible. That said, don’t give yourself a headache trying to get sympathy from a stone.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Enough pushing, Aquarius. You’ve been going nonstop while Mars crackles in your career sector, undergoing a series of aspects that added tension to your life. This could have resulted in you driving yourself harder than ever before, but Mars is finally backing down and giving you a moment to catch your breath. Step back from the drawing board, if possible. Is there anything more fun and less stressful you could indulge in at the moment? You’ve definitely earned a rest.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Don’t bite off more than you can chew. You’ve been dealing with one hot topic after another while Mars heats up your extensive 9th house, where it’s been forming all sorts of harsh angles as of late. This could’ve left you feeling worn out, but fortunately, Mars is giving you a day off from all that extreme energy. Use this time to take in all the beauty and loveliness the world has to offer, rather than worrying about what curveball it will send you next.
