The third week of September carries transformative weight. On September 15, Mercury moves into Virgo, its sign of exaltation, sharpening clarity and discernment. On September 16, the Sun also enters Virgo, joining Mercury in a practical, earthbound alignment that supports detail, order, and refinement.
Meanwhile, Venus in Leo with Ketu intensifies karmic lessons in relationships and creativity, Mars in Libra directs energy toward balance and negotiation, and Jupiter in Gemini (Punarvasu) continues to expand learning and adaptability. Saturn retrograde in Pisces (Uttara Bhadrapada) keeps deep spiritual restructuring in motion, and Rahu in Aquarius maintains a collective, future focused drive.
