Week of Sept. 14– 20, 2025: Mercury Enters Libra
Welcome to the very first issue of Adama’s Witchy Astro Weekly from LilithAstrology.com. This is a comprehensive guide to the week’s astrology, moon phases, and celestial magic. Now, I'm doing all of the work for you, so you can go through your week with foresight, in sync with the moon and in alignment with the stars.
Eclipse season has kicked off in a dramatic way this month on the world stage and in the United States with the Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7. We are experiencing upheaval, conflict, and a lifting of the veil of illusion globally. This time is also revealing religious psychosis, delusion, and the mental health crisis with men that's leading to violence. We will discuss this in more detail at Shadow & Light, my free eclipse season workshop on September 16th, so make sure you are signed up for this one.
This week’s skies also highlight conversations, confrontations, and the truth of your closest relationships, contracts, and agreements. With Mercury moving into Libra and Venus in Virgo, it’s time to use discernment, see who or what is truly for you, and release what no longer serves you. All times and dates are in Eastern Daylight Time; please convert to your local time zone for accuracy.

Weekly Astrology Forecast
This week, the cosmos is highlighting and uncovering the reality of your significant love relationships, marriage, business partnerships, and contractual relationships. Mercury in Libra and Venus in Virgo are asking you to identify what or who is really in alignment for you, use discernment, and decide what you should let go of and allow to dissolve away. We are in the middle of eclipse season, a time of purging and letting go of what no longer serves in the zodiac signs Pisces and Virgo.
Discerning reality from the fantasy will set you free this week, liberating you from the people, places, jobs, and commitments that are no longer serving you. Typically, Venus aims to please others and is concerned with pleasure and maintaining harmony. However, since the goddess of love is in an uncomfortable position this week, she's influencing you to purge people-pleasing behavior, work toward your healing, and embrace practicality. You're realizing that if you continue an old pattern of accepting less than what you are truly worth, you only have yourself to blame for your suffering.
On Sunday, September 14, Mother Moon is in the cerebral zodiac sign, Gemini, and then later in the day, moves into her home sign of emotional Cancer. The Moon in Cancer will form a hard aspect called a square with Neptune in Aries retrograde. Translation: this planetary aspect can manifest as emotional conflict, outbursts in response to a harsh truth or a shocking revelation.
The Moon will then team up with expansive Jupiter in Cancer and square the celestial wounded healer, Chiron in Aries on Monday, September 15. This planetary aspect is transitioning you from conflict and instability toward self-empowerment and a desire to work through your deepest emotional wounds. If this is the end of a bond, relationship, situationship, business partnership, or contract, just remember that it’s for your highest good. On the flip side, if you decide to sign on the dotted line, you negotiate balanced terms for both sides. Do not accept less than what you're worth.
On Thursday, September 18, Mercury enters Libra, bringing balance and harmony to your thoughts and communication, and stays there until September 30th. But don’t get too comfortable because almost instantly, Mercury faces off with Neptune in Aries retrograde, sparking raw truths, unexpected conflict, and breakthroughs that can’t be ignored.
This is a different kind of honesty; words may come out before they’ve been softened or filtered. But that’s the gift of this week. If you've avoided a challenging conversation, this planetary opposition will break the silence. If a relationship or business partnership has been teetering on the edge, this energy might push it toward a harmonious resolution or revelation, leading to a difficult ending. You might find yourself saying what you really mean for the first time. Let it happen. It’s better to disrupt the illusion than uphold the lie.
Later in the week, two divine feminine celestial goddesses, mother Moon and romantic goddess Venus, are shifting into discerning, detailed, and analytical Virgo on Friday, September 19. This is placing a cosmic magnifying glass on relationships, love, money, health, the work environment, and the arts. This also falls on Friday, the day of the week ruled by Venus in astrology.
While Venus is in her fall in Virgo (it's not her comfort zone), this transit is perfect for healing love wounds, setting practical intentions for relationships, and focusing on self-worth, discernment, and self-devotion. I’ll be guiding you through this in this week's astrological magic grimoire later in the premium section.
Venus in Virgo will last until October 13, and this transit will shine a discerning light on your love life, both love and business relationships, and contracts. After the sudden emotional shifts and shocking changes of earlier in the week, this is the moment you need to regroup and realign with yourself. Venus in Virgo reminds you of the imperfect details you may have missed when you were stuck in the honeymoon phase of a partnership. Venus in Virgo is here to teach you that love is not a fantasy; it’s a practice and takes daily maintenance.
Venus will form a hard aspect called a square with the planet of shocks and upheaval, Uranus in Gemini retrograde, immediately when it enters the sign. This is a powerful time to check in with your values: Who or what are you giving your energy to? Is it reciprocal, valued, or just habitual? This transit is bringing sudden information that will prompt you to take action to clear the excess and remind you that service is love, but boundaries are, too. The universe isn’t being harsh... It’s being honest. And beneath it all, a more aligned version of your life is going to break free after this transit.
Oracle Card of the Week
This week, my intuition is calling me to tap into my Black Moon Lilith Cosmic Alchemy Oracle to clarify how you can reclaim your power and stand up for what you desire in unbalanced relationships and contracts with others.
Black Moon Lilith in Aries – Lead Your Life
This week is all about the Black Moon Lilith in the Aries card, and the main message is to lead your life. It suggests you may have a history of neglecting your own needs and hiding what you truly want to gain approval from others. You're taking on a lot of the mental or physical burden in your relationships, yet still blame others for draining you. It's time to look in the mirror and take responsibility to change outcomes. I know shadow work isn't easy, but this week cleansing and releasing are the best way to spend the time before the upcoming Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21st.
The oracle is indicating that putting family, friends, colleagues, or your community first will only drain you mentally and physically if you allow it. This week's events will prompt you to finally put yourself first. The pressure and obligation you feel from others are reaching a boiling point, prompting you to change what you will allow, step up, and align with who you really are. It's okay to release the shackles of people pleasing and align with yourself.
