Mars square Pluto

On 24 September 2025, Mars will once again square Pluto. This is not an easy aspect between the warrior Mars and Pluto the planet associated with power and control.

On 9 October 2023 this aspect was exact a few days after the 7 October Hamas armed incursions from Gaza into Southern Israel. A number of people were killed and many taken hostage and this conflict remains unresolved with mounting causalities especially in Gaza. Legal scholars and the UN and various human rights organisations argue that Isreal is committing genocide against the Palestinian population.

We need to be mindful that things remain tense. On 7 Oct 2023 Pluto was retrograde in Capricorn. Those in authority desperately holding onto power and control through force. On 11 June 2024 Pluto had moved into Aquarius, and the mood had shifted to this concept of power to the people. On 24 September 2025 Pluto is now truly entrenched in Aquarius and travels out of bounds emphasising the power of revolution especially if leaders are out of touch with the needs of ordinary people.

Brussels and the eclipse

Brussels under pressure from youth. This eclipse focuses on 5th and 11th houses in chart. Young people are fed up with the legislative body. Pluto is conjunct MC the leadership and Uranus on Asc. Revolution on the streets of Europe to topple the leadership.

Israel and eclipse

Eclipse angular in 10th/4th houses in chart set for Tel Aviv. Once again government under pressure from opposition on ground. The issue relates to the land. Uranus in 12th speaks about secretive use of advanced technology and Pluto in 8th speaks about devastation and loss of life.

Partial Solar Eclipse 21 Sep 2025

This eclipse is at 29 Virgo opposes Saturn and Neptune. Both Saturn and Neptune are retrograde together with Pluto and Uranus.

Both Mercury ruler of Sun/Moon and Mars ruler of Saturn/Neptune are in Libra with Mars in detriment.

Saturn speaks about structure/order/rules based systems. Neptune is associated with lies/corruption and deception. Institutions weighed down by corruption will collapse as they no longer have integrity.

Uranus and Pluto sextile Saturn and Neptune are forcing change. Uranus speaks about revolution and Pluto about destruction and decay.

It is interesting to see how many leaders/governments have collapsed over the past few weeks. The Japanese Prime Minister and the French Prime Minister have resigned, the Nepalese and Thai governments have collapsed, and President Macron of France and the EU leadership are under enormous pressure. There are problems the world over especially as this Saturn Neptune conjunction will be exact on 20 Feb 2026 at 0 Aries – the World Axis.

Mars will move into Scorpio on 22 Sep with the Libra Ingress and become much stronger and forceful. Mars will square Pluto and create circumstances for serious conflict and a battle of will between force and power/control.

This is an incredible tense time and a clear indication that change is necessary and leaders out of touch with the needs of ordinary people are in trouble.

Libra year ahead

All focus in this chart is about your work and well-being. It is important to pay attention to your body at this time. It might be tricky keeping your day to day life in some kind of balance. With Sun/Moon and Mercury all in the sign of Libra it is time to ask what do you want? Does your work still serve you positively? What does your work say about your sense of identity? Does this feel right? Are you content? What do you think and or feel about your work role? Can you separate your thoughts and feelings from others? Do you like playing the role of peacekeeper at work and or in your day to day life at home? Do you feel you are being of service to others through your work or are you a slave to your work?

The chart indicates that you are needing to make a career change. You are no longer content. What is happening behind the scenes? Lies and or corruption? Do you really know what is going on? Does the organisation have integrity? Time to think clearly about the consequences and sacrifices you are making to keep things as they are. Is this really worth it? Your well-being is being compromised and you could very easily find yourself needing treatment for a health condition. It could take time to work out what is really wrong with your health. Seems like hormonal imbalance is contributing to the issues. How are you regulating your system daily – physically and emotionally? Find a daily practice that helps balance your physical and emotional well-being.

Your children are a concern – and it relates to financial realities. Your financial circumstances are unstable currently. You may need to make some difficult decisions. It’s not possible to do everything for them and or yourself. Choose activities that are meaningful and perhaps free – like running or walking instead of paying for a Pilates class. The same goes for your children – you don’t have to sign them up for everything – focus on those that really matter.

Your relationship is a focus currently. This needs your energy currently. Your partner’s work situation could also be stressful, and this is causing tension for you both. Family is a joy. Make time for your family day to day. #Libra
