Cosmic Conversations: The Jupiter Neptune Square Venus in Gemini and Mercury Cazimi ✨ (September 13)

Hi friends! What a ride September 13 was. The skies lit up with a Jupiter–Neptune square, Venus sparkling in Gemini, and Mercury hitting that rare cazimi moment in Virgo. Even though it has passed, I can still feel the echoes of that energy reverberating in the background. This transit carried both fog and clarity, dreaminess and sharp truths, and I want to take some time to explore it with you.

Cazimi Magic 🌞

Cazimi means “in the heart of the Sun.” On this day, Mercury was not lost in the Sun’s glare, but instead amplified by it. Think of it as Mercury being invited into the Sun’s royal court, seated right on the throne, receiving wisdom and light. Normally, Mercury retrograde periods can feel like crossed wires and mental static, but when Mercury goes cazimi, it is a golden hour of mental clarity and powerful communication.

On September 13, I noticed myself catching sudden insights, almost like lightning flashes of understanding. For example, a conversation I had earlier in the week replayed in my head, and I suddenly got what was really being said between the lines. Did you have moments like that, where the fog lifted and you felt illuminated?

The Planetary Dance 🎨

• Jupiter was encouraging us to think bigger, to expand our visions, to trust in possibility.

• Neptune was weaving its usual dreamy haze, pulling us into imagination, creativity, but also illusions.

• Venus in Gemini was keeping things lighthearted and playful, inspiring connection through words, curiosity, and flirty banter.

• Mercury cazimi in Virgo was the anchor, bringing sharp insights and practical clarity right when we needed it most.

Together, these planets created a tension between drifting in fantasy and anchoring into truth. Some of us may have felt like we were floating away in daydreams, but then Mercury stepped in to remind us: “Here is the core truth you cannot ignore.”

How It Showed Up for Each Sign 🌌

(READ: HOW TO FIND YOUR RISING SIGN)

• Aries ♈ You may have noticed relationships taking center stage. The square energy stirred up questions about whether you were idealizing someone or projecting hopes onto them. The Mercury cazimi gave you a flash of honesty that helped cut through confusion. If you felt pulled between your independence and a partnership, the lesson was about balance.

• Taurus ♉ Money and daily habits may have felt hazy under Neptune’s spell, almost like you were juggling too many balls at once. Jupiter pushed you to dream bigger, maybe about career or lifestyle shifts, but Mercury’s cazimi nudged you toward practical steps. The insight you gained likely had to do with creating routines that genuinely support you rather than weigh you down.

• Gemini ♊ With Venus lighting up your sign, you were magnetic, charming, and chatty. But Neptune’s influence might have made it tricky to see who was genuinely vibing with you and who was just surface-level. Mercury cazimi helped you recognize where your energy was being mirrored and where it was being drained. A key message for you was: charm is fun, but authenticity is priceless.

• Cancer ♋ Emotions bubbled up from the depths. Maybe you found yourself thinking about old wounds, or perhaps family matters resurfaced. Neptune could have stirred confusion around home or security, but Mercury cazimi in Virgo brought you the words or clarity to express what you had been holding inside. Journaling or heart-to-hearts may have been especially healing.

• Leo ♌ Your social world sparkled with energy. New connections, conversations, and group dynamics were lively, but also a little confusing. Neptune might have blurred boundaries, leaving you unsure of who had your back. Mercury cazimi shone a light, helping you see which friendships or collaborations feel aligned and which ones don’t. Think of it as a cosmic filter that separates glitter from gold.

• Virgo ♍ This was your spotlight moment. Mercury cazimi in your sign gave you a burst of clarity, insight, and purpose. You may have realized something profound about your personal direction, or maybe you suddenly had the words to express something important to others. Neptune might have tempted you into self-doubt, but Jupiter and Mercury reminded you that your wisdom is sharper than you think.

• Libra ♎ You may have felt more reflective and inward than usual. Neptune’s fog could have stirred up uncertainty in your routines or your energy levels, while Jupiter expanded your desire for spiritual or philosophical connection. Mercury cazimi likely gave you subtle but powerful insights — maybe through dreams, meditation, or quiet moments of solitude. It was less about outward action and more about inner clarity.

• Scorpio ♏ Friendship and community themes came up strongly. Perhaps you saw potential in new networks or group projects, but Neptune made some of it feel too good to be true. The cazimi provided a reality check, helping you discern where to invest your energy. A strong message for you: your intuition is sharp, but clarity through communication seals the deal.

• Sagittarius ♐ Your career or public role may have been buzzing with inspiration. Neptune’s haze might have made it hard to distinguish what is truly possible from what is wishful thinking, but Mercury cazimi sharpened your vision. You may have received a sudden insight about the next step in your career path or a new way to align your work with your values. Jupiter reminded you to keep the vision big, but Mercury whispered, “focus on the details too.”

• Capricorn ♑ Your mind may have been traveling far, even if your body wasn’t. Neptune could have pulled you into philosophical questions or doubts about your bigger purpose. At the same time, Jupiter was encouraging expansion through study, teaching, or travel. The cazimi helped you distill all of that wandering into something clear: a direction, a belief, or even a decision about the future.

• Aquarius ♒ Deep transformation vibes were strong. Neptune may have made money, intimacy, or shared resources a little foggy, but Mercury cazimi helped you find clarity about where your boundaries need to be. This was a day of uncovering truths that can’t stay hidden. It might have felt raw, but it was also empowering. The message: clarity brings freedom.

• Pisces ♓ Relationships were at the forefront. With Neptune as your ruler, this square may have felt extra personal. You may have been confronted with where you were idealizing someone or ignoring red flags. Mercury cazimi gave you the insight to see dynamics more clearly. The gift here was recognizing where partnership lifts you up and where it drains you.

Crystal of the Transit 💎

I feel Lapis Lazuli was the true ally of this moment.

Lapis is the stone of truth, wisdom, and inner vision. It has been prized since ancient Egypt as a talisman for clarity and divine insight. Under the spell of Neptune’s fog, it is so easy to get caught up in illusions or distractions. Lapis cuts through that mist, helping us see what is real while still holding space for spiritual depth.

For me, working with lapis on September 13 felt like plugging into a cosmic Wi-Fi signal. It grounded my thoughts while also expanding my perspective. Venus in Gemini had the energy buzzing socially, and Lapis helped me choose words that felt authentic and aligned, not just playful banter. It is the perfect stone for moments when Mercury’s insight needs to be honored and integrated.

Why lapis for this transit?

• It balances Neptune’s haze with deep wisdom.

• It enhances Mercury’s clarity by activating the throat and third-eye chakras.

• It harmonizes with Venus in Gemini, encouraging honest, thoughtful communication in relationships.

If you still feel echoes of this energy, meditating with Lapis Lazuli or even wearing it as jewelry can continue to integrate the lessons of the transit.

Tarot Card of the Transit 🃏

The Lovers was the card I felt aligned most strongly with this day. Many people think of The Lovers as simply about romance, but it is much deeper. At its core, The Lovers is about alignment, choices, and integrity.

On September 13, The Lovers asked us to consider: Am I choosing illusion or truth? Am I aligned with my words and my heart? Am I engaging with others playfully but also honestly?

Why The Lovers for this transit?

• It reflects Venus in Gemini energy, which is all about connection and communication.

• It mirrors the tension between Jupiter’s grand vision and Neptune’s dreamy illusions, reminding us that choices matter.

• It ties directly to Mercury cazimi, asking us to communicate from clarity and alignment.

Personally, I pulled The Lovers in a spread that day, and it resonated like a bell. It reminded me to check whether my choices were rooted in genuine connection or just surface-level distraction.
