General Daily Insight for September 24, 2025
Today’s vibes are anything but subtle. The Sun in Libra is trining Pluto in Aquarius, and the planet of transformation is rousing us to open our minds to new ways of being. Mars in Scorpio nudges eclectic Uranus in Gemini, inspiring an unusual approach to our endeavors, but things really fire up when Mars locks into a combustible square with Pluto at 7:52 am EDT. This is one of the most jarring angles in astrology, so we should all batten down the hatches!
Aries
March 21 – April 19
People may pry into your private business with little warning. A very tense square between brash Mars in your intimate 8th house and Pluto in your social 11th house could make it feel like everyone is asking inappropriate questions or sticking their nose where it doesn’t belong. Avoid the temptation to be too sharp or short with people if they cross the line, but you may need to lay down the law regardless. Take time for yourself so you don’t blow your lid.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Consider the cost of your ambitions. People want your attention while Mars is in your 7th House of Connecting, but that planet is locking into a strict square with Pluto in your job zone, which could force you to pick between the two. Pluto can make you a little ruthless! Even if you decide your goals are the most important thing right now, try to establish that without sacrificing any quality bonds. Giving them up for a temporary advantage will be regrettable.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Temptations loom large today. You may be equipped to buckle down and get to work with Mars marching through your productive 6th house, though the fuss between Mars and Pluto in your adventurous 9th house will be reminding you of all the exciting options waiting out in the wild. You might want to drop everything and run off in pursuit of more enticing and exotic opportunities, but your workload probably can’t be put on ice — certainly not without potentially dropping some very important balls.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Heat isn’t always fun — sometimes it’s painful! There is plenty of energy available as fiery Mars is lighting up your 5th House of Pleasure, but the planet of action is shouting at fervent Pluto in your 8th House of Depth, pushing you to go further than ever before. This can be a very exciting and stimulating process, but the temptation to push too far or too deep could backfire. Make a point of cooling yourself off before you get burned at any point.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Watch out for people pushing your buttons. There is an extremely combustible square between Mars in your emotional 4th house and Pluto in your people-facing 7th house, which could cause a few dust-ups. Someone may say or do something that feels like a rather low blow, and it might even hurt your feelings. Make an effort to assess whether this person meant to do it, or if this is just collateral damage. Protect your emotions by taking plenty of space where you need it.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Brace yourself for a busy day! There’s probably plenty of typical tasks on your plate (and potentially a few rarer, more complex items) while Mars is heating up your busy 3rd house. Watch out for the Martian square to zealous Pluto in your rational 6th house — that could throw a few wrenches in the works. You might get stopped by a whole bunch of red tape or urgent problems that all demand your attention at once. Take a breath before diving in.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You can have very good intentions, but that doesn’t mean you’ll follow through with them. A hard-hitting square between Mars in your income sector and Pluto in your fun-loving 5th house will make it difficult to focus on the work in front of you, no matter how much you wanted to accomplish when you first set out this morning. The urge to play around and ignore nonvital responsibilities could be too strong to ignore. Just make sure you accomplish what you must, first and foremost.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Emotions are tricky beasts to handle at this time. You’re more than ready to leap into whatever situation presents itself, thanks to Mars parading through your sign. In contrast, as Mars growls at Pluto in your reactive 4th house, some emotional fireworks could go off — and not the fun kind. Being overwhelmed can make anyone upset, but you’ll want to count to ten before you decide to let fly with fury. This alignment can make your tongue very sharp, so wield it carefully.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
There is no easy outlet for your current energy. Warrior Mars is in your hidden 12th house, which is a difficult place for the red planet to be. This vibration will become even more fraught when Mars kicks at Pluto in your excitable 3rd house, prodding you into action — except you don’t know what kind of action or what you’re supposed to do. You may feel like a bull without a matador to charge! Look for safe forms of release, like exercise or journaling.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You can’t always get what you want, Capricorn. Your friends are calling for you to come out and play while Mars lopes through your 11th House of Society — even though the square between Mars and Pluto in your 2nd House of Finances could create tensions around money. Perhaps a certain group outing costs more than you were expecting, or you’re asked to roll up your sleeves and pitch in when you’d rather be circulating. Either way, you may need to give people a raincheck.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Power struggles may have no winners at present. Things are heating up at work while Mars is in your 10th House of Motivation, but as it swings at alchemical Pluto in your own sign, their friction could push you to come out swinging too strongly as well. If someone irritates you, don’t react publicly, and suppress the urge to talk negatively about anyone else. This energy is highly combustible! You could get burned if you don’t handle it with caution and care.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Be careful you don’t trip over yourself. You may want to go on exciting adventures while Mars is touring your expansive 9th house, but the Mars-Pluto square, with Pluto in your subconscious sector, could cause you to lose sight of your destination. Pluto might direct you right toward the metaphorical potholes in your path, so pay extra close attention to your instincts and actions. Under this particular angle, it’s tragically easy to miss the mark. Take everything one step at a time.
