Solar Eclipse September 21, 2025

Solar Eclipse in Sidereal Virgo on the New Moon.

On September 21, a New Moon Solar eclipse will take place. New Moons are usually a time for setting fresh intentions and goals. But because this is also an eclipse, we need to take a different approach. Eclipses bring intense energy because, physically, the Sun, Moon, and Earth are all in alignment. On the day of the eclipse, try to take it easy and avoid taking on too much or making too many changes. Find time to be in the present moment. Not thinking about what was or what could be, but what is now. The psychological forces of Rahu and Ketu are at their highest influence on our mind and our soul, even if you don't feel anything at first. The effects of an eclipse can last for weeks and months following the event.

The Sun is our soul, and as its light is darkened during a solar eclipse, new information is coming in that will ultimately course-correct whatever path you are on. Between the eclipses, your free will makes choices and decisions, but anything you have resisted or ignored, which is part of your destiny, will rise to the surface during an eclipse. Now, the day after the eclipse, we still have that new moon energy, but the light of the Sun has returned, and the Moon is no longer in the path of the nodes.

And the two-week waxing period has begun. Your new goals and intentions are ready to grow and develop.

Each day, the light increases, representing the growing clarity and motivation needed to nurture your dreams.

The Solar Eclipse chart in September is unique.

Ketu and Rahu remain in the Leo/Aquarius Axis while the Moon and Sun begin a new cycle in Virgo.

While our soul and mind are focusing on this new energy, there is a psychological force of the nodes still in effect from the Leo/Aquarius cycle. This is a powerful solar eclipse becuase it is bringing together the axis of truth and the axis of trust. These two themes have been particularly prominent, especially since the last lunar eclipse in September, which brought intense emotions and reflections on an external level. Several events took place that simultaneously divided and united the world. The consequences continue to unfold.

So, while the lunar eclipse brought to light the truthful expressions of many, and revealed the divided expectations of society. This new cycle in Virgo is all about internalizing those emotions, processing them all, and creating our own source of light. This axis of Virgo and Pisces is about trust. Trusting the process, trusting yourself self and trusting the divine energies guiding your heart. Virgo is associated with the energies of the 6th house, which governs health, healing, and responsibility. Doing the hard work necessary to keep the things you love, on a survival level, but also knowing when to stop, when to let go, and let the universe handle the rest.

It’s a balance of control and surrender that will play out in your Virgo and Pisces houses over the next two weeks. Management and precision are needed in your Virgo house. Equal amounts of flow and release are needed in your Pisces house. This energy asks you to align with both, knowing where to take responsibility and where to trust the process.

Aries Rising – 6th and 12th Houses

Daily work, routines, and health come into focus. You may want to organize your schedule or improve habits, but you also need to give yourself rest and space for reflection. A goal connected to your work or health will require both structure and release.

Aquarius Rising – 8th and 2nd Houses

Shared resources and attachments need to be balanced with personal values and security. A goal in finances or emotional honesty will ask you to let go of what feels too heavy to keep holding on
