We close out the final eclipse of 2025 with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21st. As our second New Moon in Virgo this year, it feels like a cosmic double reset, amplifying Virgo's powerful qualities of healing, refinement, and clarity. This is a time to tend to the details of your life, to get grounded in routines, and to align with practices that truly support your well-being. It's about editing what no longer works, committing to habits that fuel your growth, and clarifying the structures that allow your creativity and healing to take root.
Theme of this New Moon Solar Eclipse
- New beginnings regarding our well-being, health regimes, and daily routines
- Generational wounds that have cycled through humanity
- Releasing emotional waste
- Clearing what is no longer truth
The Nodes of Destiny
The Moon's path doesn't always intersects the Sun's, but when it does, it does so at two points called the nodes of destiny. These key astrological points exist in the sky and hold a place in your birth chart, illuminating your soul's journey or life path.
The north node points to the future and is associated with growth, destiny, and the potential you're meant to develop in this lifetime. It can bring a sense of hunger, restlessness, and a craving for something new when the Moon hits close to it. For example, the last Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7th took place near the North Node, highlighting these themes.
The south node points to the past, revealing what you've overcome and patterns of thought and behavior that are holding you back. It's often associated with past-life energy and karmic patterns. Eclipses that align with the South Node, such as the upcoming New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo, can feel more challenging than those near the North Node because they compel us to release things.
Who Will Be Affected?
This New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur at 29 degrees and 5 minutes of Virgo. While everyone is affected by the pull of an Eclipse, it will most significantly affect those with personal planets or points at 24 to 30 degrees of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) and 0 to 4 degrees of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn). People with placements strongly stimulated by this eclipse may feel especially drained, both physically and emotionally.
Virgo's Influence
This eclipse offers a chance to reset your daily routines, and in true eclipse fashion, it's going to highlight exactly what isn't working. Since it's happening near the South Node, which is all about release, now is the perfect time to shed habits that drain your energy and peace of mind.
Virgo loves to organize and thrives on routines that help you live your best life. Given Virgo's strong astrological association with health, you may feel called to give up or cut back on something that is physically destructive. Use this energy to declutter your life, refine unhealthy habits, and leave behind any activities that no longer serve your well-being.
This is the second New Moon we'll have in Virgo this year, a rare occurrence. While last month's New Moon was in the first degree of the sign, this one is in the final degree, creating a sense of urgency around our new beginnings and a huge opportunity for growth. The first New Moon writes the draft, and the second perfects the version we’ll carry forward. We're offered a powerful opportunity to solidify intentions and embody Virgo's highest lessons before we move into the next sign.
What to do during a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse is a significant turning point, not a subtle shift, but a dramatic event designed to move you forward, even if it feels unsettling at the moment. Just as the Moon temporarily blocks out the Sun, an eclipse obscures one area of your life to bring another into sharper focus. This season is a personal reset, whether it's in your relationships, career, or soul purpose. If you feel a pull toward endings, uncertainty, or new callings, trust it. Be guided by your intuition, define your desires, and embrace the changes, for they'll ultimately be the necessary push forward you need in life.
Eclipses bring an unpredictable and chaotic energy. Since they are essentially super-charged new or full moons, elaborate rituals are not generally recommended during these times.
Instead, the days surrounding an eclipse are ideal for prioritizing self-care and tending to your nervous system. Listen to your emotions, sit in stillness, and acknowledge any messages that come to you. Look at any insights, revelations, or resurfacing memories as valuable information. Consider what you are holding onto out of guilt, insecurity, or old obligations and give yourself permission to let it go. Eclipses are doorways your soul doesn't want you to miss.
Feeling the pull of this eclipse in your own life? Here are some tips to help you navigate it:
- Schedule time for reflection
- Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest
- Avoid major decisions during the Eclipse windows
- Meditate and open yourself to any messages and journal any insights or dreams that come through
- Write down what is happening for you around each of the Virgo-Pisces Eclipses, you may start to see a theme or story emerging
