[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of September 29 - October 5

October starts off with optimism and productivity. You can work on cleaning up the aftermath of eclipse season or get started on your fourth quarter goals. 

A lot of people think of October as the end of the year but there are three full months left of 2025 and they’re all pretty functional(ish). My point is, this isn’t the time to start phoning it in. It’s time to bring in the harvest and prepare for winter. 

Monday 09/29

• ☽ at 27° 53‘ Sagittarius □ ♄ at 27° 53‘ Pisces | 1:43am Eastern
•  ☽ V/C | 1:43am - 5:54am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Capricorn | 5:54am - 5:54am  Eastern
• ☽ at 00° 35‘ Capricorn □ ♆ at 00° 35‘ Aries | 7:05am  Eastern
• ☽ at 05° 04‘ Capricorn ✳ ♂︎  at 05° 04‘ Scorpio | 3:55pm Eastern
• 🌓 First Quarter Moon | 7:53pm Eastern

Monday there’s momentum to push through tasks, but it can be undercut by moments of distraction  (deception) or chasing something that feels unclear. 

Overall the drive is real but it may not always be pointed in the most direct direction.

• Best for: Steady progress, pushing through with determination, finding energy for persistent effort.
• Potential Challenges: Getting sidetracked, wasting effort on distractions, feeling pulled between focus and impulse.

Tuesday 09/30

• ☽ at 13° 28‘ Capricorn △ ♀︎ at 13° 28‘ Virgo | 8:20 am Eastern
• ☽ at 21° 25‘ Capricorn □ ☿ at 21° 25‘ Libra | 11:38 pm Eastern

Tuesday leans steady and detail oriented, with a focus on small improvements that create practical impact. But you know what they say, one person’s detail oriented progress is another person’s existential crisis (ok, it’s me, I say that). 

There could be arguments or disagreements because of (or in addition to) the productivity.

• Best for: Careful work, practical improvements, noticing small details that make a difference.
• Potential Challenges: Miscommunication, tense conversations, critical words.

• ☽ ☌ ♇ at 01° 24‘ Aquarius  | 6:28pm Eastern

Wednesday is loud and full of opinions, expansive ideas, and exciting conversations. There’s even enough inspiration and follow through to make some significant progress.

While it’s for sure exciting but it could also be overwhelming if in the excitement you (or those around you) make promises that are hard to live up to when the dust settles. 

• Best for: Big conversations, bold ideas, progress on meaningful work.
• Potential Challenges: Promises that outgrow reality, taking on more than is manageable, feeling overwhelmed by the size of what’s started.

Thursday 10/02

• ☽ at 06° 47‘ Aquarius □ ♂︎ at 06° 47‘ Scorpio | 4:28am Eastern
• ☽ at 09° 37‘ Aquarius △ ☉ at 09° 37‘ Libra | 9:41am Eastern

Thursday starts off a little rough but it quickly moves into clarity and focus. 

Conversations move quickly, ideas connect easily, and there’s a drive to get things moving, even if tempers flare in the process.

• Best for: Productive conversations, pulling ideas into workable plans, steady progress on shared goals.
• Potential Challenges: Short tempers, pushing too hard, arguments that break out in the middle of otherwise productive work. 

Friday 10/03

• ☽ at 25° 30‘ Aquarius △ ☿ at 25° 30‘ Libra | 2:15pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 2:15pm - 10:07pm Eastern
• 🌔 Waxing Gibbous Moon | 2:47pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 10:07pm  Eastern

Friday is a productive end to an overwhelmingly productive week. It’s social, fast paced, and conversational. 

• Best for: Easy conversations, clear thinking, connecting the dots.
• Potential Challenges: Restlessness, distraction, and overthinking.

Saturday 10/04

• ☽ at 01° 08‘ Pisces □ ♅ at 01° 08‘ Gemini | 12:06am Eastern
• ☽ at 08° 23‘ Pisces △ ♂︎ at 08° 23‘ Scorpio | 12:36pm Eastern

Saturday there is drive and determination to push through and do the work. Whether that’s on your business, side hustle, or apple picking is entirely up to you.

Later in the day there could be some BIG feelings brewing that will spill over into Sunday. That isn’t good or bad - love, anxiety, anger, and hope are all feelings. 

• Best for: Getting things done, steady effort, pushing through tasks that take energy.
• Potential Challenges: Emotional reactions, difficulty winding down, pushing too hard.

Sunday 10/05

• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 18° 15‘ Pisces  | 5:19am Eastern
• ☽ at 19° 35‘ Pisces ☍ ♀︎ at 19° 35‘ Virgo | 7:33am Eastern
• ☽ at 23° 00‘ Pisces △ ♃ at 23° 00‘ Cancer | 1:15pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 27° 23‘ Pisces  | 8:29pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 8:29pm» Eastern

Sunday starts off a little reactionary and ends with a reality check but the in between is very functional. One might even say pleasant. 

• Best for: Entering a flow state, finding inspiration, steady progress.
• Potential Challenges: Relationship mishaps, amplified emotions, reality checks, Sunday scaries.

Until next time, my wish for you is the industriousness of a squirrel preparing for winter. - Robin💋
