What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
13 october, 2025
This week marks a powerful turn inward. As the Sun moves to Libra on 17 October, it enters its sign of debilitation, a time when ego, identity, and self-expression soften. The Sun now joins Mercury and Mars in Libra, creating a cluster of energy focused on balance, fairness, and measured action—though you may feel less certain or bold than usual.
Then, on 18 October, Jupiter makes its exalted return to Cancer, a deeply protective and nourishing placement. Staying in Punarvasu Nakshatra, Jupiter brings wise renewal to emotional, familial, and ancestral themes.
Meanwhile, Venus remains debilitated in Virgo, inviting humility in love and beauty. Saturn continues retrograde, straddling Uttara and Purva Bhadrapada in Pisces, intensifying karmic lessons and structural re-alignment. Rahu remains in Aquarius, pointing to future visions, and Ketu stays alone in Leo, drawing focus to personal creativity and detachment from validation.
This is a week to tend to your inner foundation. You may feel less radiant on the outside, but greater truths are rising from within.
