What’s Shifting in the Stars This Week?
20 october, 2025
This week opens with a New Moon in Virgo on 21 October, placed in Chitra Nakshatra, ruled by Vishvakarma, the divine architect. While Virgo invites refinement and clarity, Chitra adds creative spark and quiet brilliance. This is a moment to rebuild with care, not just to clean for control.
On 24 October, Mercury moves to Scorpio, shifting mental energy from analysis to emotional insight. Your attention turns inward, becoming more strategic and intuitive. Mars and the Sun remain in Libra, inviting balanced action, though confidence may still feel delicate.
Jupiter remains exalted in Cancer, bringing emotional steadiness and inner wisdom. Venus stays debilitated in Virgo, expressing love through small acts of service. Saturn continues retrograde in Pisces, now fully settled in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, a phase of deeper karmic purification. Rahu in Aquarius encourages visionary thinking, while Ketu remains alone in Leo, keeping the soul focused on quiet authenticity.
This is not a week for bold external movement. It is a week for intentional design, deep listening and creating space from within.
