OVERALL: All Signs
Mood: Intensity with purpose.
With Mars in Scorpio, passion and transformation fuel everything you touch. Surface fixes won’t do, you’re called to go deeper. Venus in Virgo (till Oct 17) keeps love, money, and values grounded in service and discernment. The Sun + Mercury in Libra highlight balance, diplomacy, and partnership, even as Scorpio energy digs beneath the surface.
This is Navratri’s peak week (Sept 26-Oct 2), where each goddess embodies a different dimension of strength, nurturing, courage, destruction, purification, fulfillment. These energies align with the transits. Use Katyayani’s fearlessness (Sept 27) to push forward goals, let Kaalratri (Sept 28) burn away what no longer serves, and Mahagauri (Sept 29) bring peace to strained ties. The cycle culminates in Dussehra (Oct 2), victory of light over shadow, echoed in Gandhi Jayanti’s reminder that truth and non-violence are the highest forms of power.
Cosmic Dates to Watch:
Sept 26: Skandamata → nurturing protection + steady leadership.
Sept 27: Katyayani → courage for bold moves.
Sept 28: Kaalratri → destroy obstacles, face fears.
Sept 29: Mahagauri → purification + peace.
Sept 30: Siddhidatri → blessings + fulfillment.
Oct 2: Dussehra + Gandhi Jayanti → victory through truth, courage, and higher purpose.
Guidance: This week is less about speed, more about depth. Mars in Scorpio asks you to commit fully, Navratri offers divine templates for renewal, and Dussehra seals the victory of devotion, truth, and transformation. Use this cycle to cut away the false and recommit to what is pure, purposeful, and lasting.
