In an evolutionary perspective there's never an end - it always goes on and on... at times, there might be something like a "reset", where all seems to "crumble" only to come back even "better" or at least "different"...
At first, such exists in the realm of ideas, of phantasy and some may call it fiction - however we "title" it, it's where something exists first, as a possibility at least of imagination...
Depending on the individual belief systems, anchor points etc. a specific idea in an area might be more acceptable for one and kind of "impossible" for another - such we see in history as like in the common acceptance to the idea that our Universe exceeds the Galaxy, or when we went through the technical revolutions changing everything in the manifested world... for some this was easier, for others it was harder...
The new paradigm shift goes beyond any of those - so, there's an even "wider" gap as how one integrates, imagines and develops... as it goes with simply every single aspect of physical life, there might be aspects in a personal life easier to deal with the idea and in others less - yet, if there is just only ONE aspect in life that makes us experience the shift, then this can be the one leading the personal "rebirth"....
Sometimes people mistaken “changes” as a “critique on the old”. Yet others, especially those, who profit on the level of “power” from the systems, naturally see in changes a threat.
Yet, there are people who seem to be able to “ride any wave” – those who can adjust and benefit of changes in astonishing ways and forms.
The understanding, that this inequality is a “personal choice” can change everything – that may not always show as sudden financial gains or similar but can bring calm and trust into self.
When we’re in a calm state and feel in this sense “safe”, then we naturally open a “flood gate” so to speak – ideas can emerge and if they’re now really new or not, might be something we not always know but is in this direct sense not really relevant either.
I think it helps, when we see in everything “a process” – when things are in a “process of change”, there are “two sides” in conflict of finding their “spaces” – to discern and decide what stays and what not, and which new ideas have potential and can be put into practicality etc. – all not easy but always a part of life…
Yet, on another level, this can go far “BEYOND” of what we generally think of what “reality” IS – which in itself is a “process”.
The planetary alignments throughout October and beyond, will challenge us to navigate this space where common sense is merely the current interpretation of what is 'normal' - a changing matrix we are invited to consciously transcend.
Mercury and Mars meet at 28°36’24” sidereal and constellation Libra on 2nd of October 2025
Mars has just recently been at his Southnode (Beginnings September 2025) and is just slightly south of the ecliptic now and Mercury has passed his Southnode since as well and is a little further south than Mars during their conjunction.
Their close “overlay” of their “crosses” is significant as it does tell us, they work together and I think that collaboration got a lot to do with “self-programming” and in this sense memory.
As they’re also loosely opposing the approaching conjunction between Uranus and Sedna in earlier sidereal Taurus, there’s to me the indication, that whatever is surfacing in terms of memory of losses, betrayal etc. can be discerned and let go of – doesn’t mean, we completely forget what happened, but we can let go of the grip it has onto us.
Change of action and thought, will automatically initiate liberation and opens possibilities and opportunities.
Why stay in the old loop, when the necessity of it has vanished!?


Before I go into the conjunctions, that Vesa is forming, I would like to note out, the interesting movements that are taking place between early October and middle of October:
Mars moved from late sidereal Libra into the head of the Scorpion
From the balance seeking scales or gripping claws of the Scorpion, we move into a more “neurological” area. There are many “ingredients” in the brain, that have a major impact of how we feel and what we do – remember, everything is a two-way street and therefore we’re not a “victim” to the neurotransmitters.
Mercury moved from his conjunction with Mars to join Vesta, Ixion, Pholus and Quaoar in sidereal Sagittarius.
Mercury has quite a travel already behind himself, in an area that is about “facing oneself” and classically interpret as “truth seeking”. Even though the “egoic mind” can be quite a “trickster”, when being honest with oneself, we can be sure, that Mars will react accordingly.
Venus has moved from Varuna in the heart of Cancer to the star Shir of Leo.
From giving value and building a relationship with the own inner space, she came out of that “nest” and is seeking to build “foundations”, taking a “stand”. We could say, we’re having here the bravery and curiosity available for Mercury and Mars.
Earth moved from her conjunction with Ceres in middle of sidereal Pisces, to conjoin Chiron and Eris in very late sidereal Pisces
Earth, Moon, and Ceres are all pretty “mothering” energies, they nurture and ground us. It’s a big topic of how we nurture ourselves, not only in the sense of foods but also the “food for thought or entertainment” we’re consuming in our daily lives. The middle of Pisces is pretty “revealing and uncovering” in this sense and the shift to late Pisces and Earth to be with Chiron and Eris, will reveal even more – where in our incarnate life are we taking the loops and are needing some “disruptions” to see what is real and what isn’t – a painful process that is though same time very liberating.
Vesta is our inner, sacred flame – our devotion but also “endurance” – how much are we going to “endure” in order to keep our flame burning.
The first “Vestal cults” (Roman name – Hestia Greek) came to western Europe after the Trojan war by refugees who were, according to mythology, guided by Venus…
meets with Ixion on 18th October and with Pholus (and Quaoar) on the 30th.
Ixion talks about how we react to the power/force of “lust for life” a creative power, which can be misused of course, as any force/power can and it then "backfires" - the power controls us instead of being a creative tool and the same happens, if we suppress it.
Pholus is the Assistant for a healing or transformation processes as he heightens the perception – especially the sight (from physical eyes to the “inner eye”) – to see “through”. The mysteries of our inner self and their experiences may lead to deep inner transformation. He may act through/with the sudden “shaking” surprises offered by Uranus, if we were previously resistant to transformations/ changes available or offered. Pholus can be the trigger for a wave of events, that can transform long standing themes even those of generations or lifetimes.
Quaoar is about the natural laws of life, their harmony and sacredness. This harmony is accessible by surrendering and to let go of what is disturbing this harmony. Natural order and law includes death – physical death of biological life as well as any kind of energetic transformations… Natural law and order connect all outer planetary bodies to be communicated further in.
Vesta and Ixion meet at 11°28’0” sidereal Sagittarius and she meets Pholus (and Quaoar) at 15°11’31” sidereal Sagittarius
When there are approaching conjunctions, that take so long to be completed as with Ixion, Pholus and Quaoar, then I think any of the “fast” planets making contacts, are in this sense “bridging and communicating” – to me this is emphasized onto here, with Mercury being involved too…
It’s like the themes of the Mercury – Mars conjunction and the Saturn – Uranus 300° (post link) are directly communicated here.

In this chart, we see Vesta very close to the ecliptic, as she’s approaching her own Southnode (which is roughly aligned with the longitude of Earth’s Aphelion).
Vesta will reach her Southnode on 10th of November 2025.
We see, that now Mars has moved to stand just above Antares, the heart of the Scorpion and Mercury moved into the constellation Capricorn, approaching his most southern point of orbit.
Antares is a very evolved and dominating star in this region – she’s nurturing us, but not always in the way we like it, as she’s challenging and “testing” and therefore often misunderstood.
Are we really “only” doing actions in the “outside world” or are there in this sense “actions” that we initiate happening on another level!!??
In the later part of the constellation Capricorn (south of the ecliptic), there’s work in progress, that is often not consciously worked with but very potent and the “lucky” stars of Aquarius north of the ecliptic are those who get the “credit”, yet, it’s a work “hand in hand” and that’s something we experience there. It’s like puzzle pieces fall into place and when Mercury is there, it might be, that anything that is related to “communication” can become “published” and sometimes miraculously it may seem. That can go from publishing books or music to “channeling” or anything you can think of (or not).
Earth moved into the constellation Aries on Eris’ Northnode, north of the head of Cetus.
This is like we truly have a new beginning here – one that got a lot to do with how we perceive “reality” and we can feel the impact of the collective consciousness – if we’re engaging with it and in what way, is of course a personal decision and does depend a lot on “2nd house themes” of values, self-love, self-worth etc.
Venus is now just above the star Zavijava of Virgo, just crossed into Virgo from Leo.
This is a region, that is not only one of “questioning” but also about receiving answers. Zavijava itself holds the energy of “warning and announcing” – it’s a region here, that talks about the difference between linearity and non-linearity. Or generally enables one, to see through the false and the “true”.
Conclusive, I would say, the month of October is big about discernment but with the clear message, it’s not a discernment for an ending but one for the future.
You may though ask – what if I have to actually DO something??
Well – let’s take the example of cooking a meal – one can stress about what is healthy, cost effective, quickly made or any such thing - instead one could ask “what would I like to eat” … a different approach….
When we see in our past, what lead to the now, then we might be able to directly apply the underlying “law or principles” to our way of living.
It may lead to a clear shift within Venusian themes, the understanding of the importance of the nonlinearity even though, we might not really able to “explain it linearly”.
Because sometimes, we just have to trust a process and dedicate ourselves to the process instead of applying a direct goal or purpose to it.
With much Love to you All,
