New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo

On Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 12:54 p.m. PDT (3:54 p.m. EDT), on the very last day of summer, a significant turning point arrives as the Moon begins a new cycle in the analytical and service-oriented sign of Virgo. This isn’t just any New Moon; it’s a partial Solar Eclipse, the second in Virgo this year and the final one of 2025.

Solar Eclipses are like supercharged New Moons, bringing fated endings and unexpected new beginnings. The story for this eclipse began with the Lunar Eclipse on August 23, which put a spotlight on our deep-seated doubts and insecurities that needed healing. A month later, this Solar Eclipse arrives to bring a powerful conclusion to this chapter, allowing us to finally see the true value of our own worth. It’s an invitation to a fresh start, but only if we can release the deeply ingrained patterns that have held us back.

Virgo is the sign of the craftsperson, and its energy brings a focus on clarity, precision, and the power of taking small, practical steps toward change. However, with the South Node closely aligned with this eclipse, we may confront the more challenging expressions of this energy: our unattainable ideals of perfection, a harsh inner critic, the need for constant control, and the feeling that we are not good enough or too small to use our gifts.

This eclipse is asking us to get real about what is and isn’t working on our path. It’s a profound invitation to redefine our approach to growth and service. These self-limiting beliefs may feel deeply embedded, perhaps for years or even lifetimes, distorting our view of ourselves. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that our imperfections allow for growth, our struggles bring wisdom, and our doubts make us human.

This is where the North Node in Pisces offers its medicine, calling us to lean into unconditional love, surrender, and trust our intuition while holding deep compassion for ourselves.

Pay attention to what unfolds in the days surrounding this eclipse. New opportunities may present themselves even if you don't feel ready. You may find that people start requesting your services before you feel perfectly prepared. This is a chance to break the old pattern that says you have to have everything perfect before you can move forward. You are shifting away from the voices that tell you someone else can do it better, that you aren't enough, and that you aren't worthy of your role.

Instead, you are embracing a new pattern—one that involves compassion for where you are and speaks kindly to your potential. The North Node in Pisces asks you to surrender control and trust that something much bigger is at play. When we can trust this process, we realize we don't need to be or give more. We just need to do and be what matters most to us.

This lunation brings its own set of challenges. Saturn, the planet of limits, opposes this eclipse, and you may feel burdened by your commitments, especially if your efforts aren't bringing immediate rewards. This can bring a sobering reality check as you confront the results of past choices and old patterns rooted in your past, even as far back as childhood. It's a call to release the script on how you think you should behave.

Additionally, Neptune, the dreamy, mystical planet, is close by in Aries. Its influence may make it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion, making it hard to hear the whispers of your inner wisdom. With all the Virgo energy, it's easy to second-guess yourself and overthink every situation.

Despite these challenges, the ultimate invitation of this eclipse is to trust the process. You are being asked to find new ways to nurture yourself and others. This is a time to let go of what you think you should be and embrace who you truly are.
