v-star weekly: venus enters libra
This is perfect—plenty to work with. I’ve synthesized it into our V-Star weekly below, in your house style. If you want a punchier IG caption too, it’s at the end.
Weekly Astrology–Yoga Outlook (Oct 13–19, 2025)
Libra influences heighten today as we Venus moves into its home sign (one of its home signs!) of Libra on Monday October 13th (late in the day). Earlier, a square of the Cancer Moon with the Libra Sun could heighten the tensions between pleasant conversations and deep compassion.
Overview
Libra season continues to teach partnership as a mirror: how we speak, what we choose, and where we bend (or over-bend). Monday’s Last Quarter Moon in Cancer squares the Libra Sun, asking for a gentle but decisive edit: finish, don’t force. Venus slips into Libra the same day, softening the tone of our connections, while Mercury and Mars in Scorpio keep the truth serum flowing under the surface. Although Libra energy seems to dominate the surface of all our doings, Pluto energy, Scorpio energy, is driving things behind the scenes.
As Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, stations direct in idealistic Aquarius, systemic shifts move from “stalled” to “go”—expect subtle but undeniable momentum where you’ve been re-wiring patterns. Pluto/Scorpio looks for the subtext, but idealistic Aquarius chooses to believe that people, are at base, good and well-intentioned. This should keep us from drowning in negative, suspicious Scorpio energy. The result: grace over gloss, honesty over heat, beauty with boundaries.
Current Quality of Time
This is the “sort and soothe” week of the lunar cycle. We’re approaching the end of the Libra season; once we get into Scorpio season, we won’t be able to sit in pleasantries anymore – then, it will be time to dig deep and reveal/confront the truth. The waning Moon favors wrapping up projects, completing reconciliations, and pursuing some release rituals. Venus–Neptune opens the dream-door; Venus–Uranus + Venus–Pluto invite fresh chemistry and deeper candor. Kind and clear wins.
