General Daily Insight for September 16, 2025
The satisfying kind of exhaustion awaits us at today’s end. An awkward quincunx between messenger Mercury in Virgo and sensitive Chiron in Aries could stir up complicated conversations, though the addition of a trine from Venus to Chiron should ensure we all sand the sharpest edges off of our words. Alert Mars in Libra will then oppose careful Chiron at 11:47 am EDT, forcing each of us to get serious about finally moving beyond old aches. Messy emotions can be handled to our benefit.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Healing sometimes requires action. Wildfire Mars is reaching out from your links zone to oppose Chiron in your own sign, which could result in someone saying or doing something that touches a sore spot for you — whether they mean it or not. Instead of trying to ignore or avoid them, consider embracing the thought and genuinely work through whatever issues are dragging you down. It might be awkward in the moment, but your future self will thank you for making the effort today.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Something might set you off at any moment. Fiery Mars in your routine 6th house is filling your plate with potential, but the Martian opposition to Chiron in your hidden 12th house may bring up old drama or forgotten wounds. It could be tough to swallow! This might feel like an emotional detour or a bit of an unnecessary problem, but don’t just push it to the side. Take a bite and move forward! You could finish something that’s been holding you back for ages.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Don’t forget about other people, Gemini. While the presence of Mars is heating up your 5th House of Fun, tempting you to pursue solely your own pleasures, there’s more to life than that. Mars is emboldening Chiron in your 11th House of Community, simultaneously nudging you to include others in your plans. If you only think about yourself, you might wind up stepping on a few toes or rubbing people the wrong way. Think ahead in order to save yourself from future hassles.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Take everything with a grain of salt, Cancer. You’re possibly feeling some unusual intensity while red-hot Mars works out in your temperamental 4th house. Hold on! Mars is opposing Chiron in your 10th House of Expertise, reminding you that your feelings are not fact. Take a step back from things if you start to feel overwhelmed or too wrapped up in a situation, and remember that nothing is permanent. A difficult moment or two during one day will not be with you forever.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
The world isn’t big enough today! The galaxy is offering tons of ways to occupy your mind with Mars in your verbose 3rd house. Additionally, Mars is egging on Chiron in your risky 9th house, showing you the benefits of moving beyond what you already know. Instead of distracting yourself with the same old things, intentionally bring a sense of newness into your life. That can lift any heaviness from your shoulders as you spread your wings and take flight into the future.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Feeling taken advantage of is an unfortunate possibility under today’s complicated skies. A tense opposition between Mars and Chiron across your security and intimacy sectors could leave you feeling like you need to bend over backward for other people. Remember that the word ‘no’ is a complete sentence! If you continually let others take advantage of you, eventually, you’ll become part of the problem. Don’t expect everyone to have ulterior motives, but don’t be a doormat, either. Stand strong in your power.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Your opinion is only part of the puzzle. You’re definitely in the driver’s seat while action planet Mars marches through your 1st House of Self. That said, its opposition to Chiron in your 7th House of Unions will remind you that other people are involved in this situation. Perhaps a friend will set a new boundary, though this could also be about some repairs to a romantic relationship. One thing is certain: there’s nothing to be gained by shutting out your loved ones.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Your energy levels may feel all but non-existent at the moment. You’re likely in a decidedly chill mood while warrior Mars is in your peaceful 12th house, but watch out for when Mars shoves Chiron in your responsible 6th house! A few outstanding issues might start pounding at your door. Pay attention to your energy levels, because if you push too hard, you could burn out in the process. That won’t be fun or productive! Make an effort to be considerate of your needs.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Don’t lose sight of yourself. It’s hard to ignore the people around you while Mars is in your 11th House of Associations, pushing you to connect with others near and far. On the other hand, the argument between Mars and sensitive Chiron in your 5th House of Hobbies prompts you to nurture yourself as well. Misplacing your natural needs can happen without warning when everyone else is chattering around you, so make a point of listening to your gut during any gatherings.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Your emotions may present unpredictable stumbling blocks. You are primed to focus on your ambitions while Mars is lighting a fire in your 10th House of Drive, but the Martian opposition to Chiron in your 4th House of Tenderness could leave you feeling rather delicate in a professional arena. If a peer points out something you missed or a situation where you could have performed better, try to avoid taking their commentary too personally. They could have valuable advice to share!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Don’t push yourself too far all at once. You may want to explore as much of the world as you can while Mars tours your undaunted 9th house, but its opposition to Chiron in your local 3rd house could leave you feeling a bit daunted by the prospect. It’s okay to play it small for the time being and move at your own pace. You can get back to bigger adventures under gentler skies. You’re allowed to stay home for a while!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
What’s missing, Pisces? If you feel an unnamable sense of lack, it may be due to the tough opposition between Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources and Chiron in your 2nd House of Material Security. This cosmic kerfuffle could leave you struggling to meet certain needs. However, this may turn out to be an overreaction or unnecessary anxiety, so do your best to analyze the facts before you get too worried. You may have everything you need; you just couldn’t see it before.
