#eclipse virgo

But not just any consciousness: working with consciousness is something we are already invited to do every day, as the Sun moves through the signs each month, impacting our natal Sun and our perception of the world,

as well as aspects with other planets that influence our psyche (natal Sun).

What makes a solar eclipse special is that it brings shadows to the surface.

Every eclipse movement stirs aspects of personality. In this particular moment, this eclipse brings Virgo issues: work, perfectionism, productivity, self-criticism, issues with animals (especially pets, but not only them), as well as patterns we impose on ourselves. It’s about a sense of value, usefulness, and the methods we follow.

It’s not simply a big Virgo energy, like being in the Sun in Virgo season or in a full Moon in Virgo. It’s more than that. 

It’s a solar eclipse, with the intensity of light and shadow it brings, revealing aspects to be observed much more deeply than other astrological movements. Virgo’s energy is amplified, making it a wonderful opportunity for self-knowledge.

Here (Astro Seek) you can see how this eclipse impacts your natal chart. In my case, I was blessed with some exact aspects happening in my chart, activating specific points urgently, bringing opportunities for growth and reflection — but also for looking at my personal Shadows lol

For example, I have an opposition, but you can have trine, conjunction, square aspects, or even oppositions occuring. In my case, it’s almost exact, and look how wonderful haha, an exact opposition in a solar eclipse.

 Just kidding, because everything is an opportunity to look inward, as only what already exists within us emerges. Solar eclipses bring a lot of our personality’s shadow to the surface, and the sign of the eclipse channels this energy for us, both individually and collectively.

And what about the eclipse chart itself? This eclipse is part of Saros cycle 154. Saros cycles are sequences of eclipses that repeat over time, and this specific cycle has had other solar eclipses happening on the same lunar node, around the same time of year. It’s a fascinating phenomenon in astrology, both mathematical and deeply connected to the psyche.

 Cycle 154 has had similar eclipses in 2007, 1989, 1971, 1953, 1935, and 1917. It shows how certain patterns repeat over time, reflecting planetary evolution and collective consciousness — I’ll talk more about this on the blog another time!

The September 21, 2025, eclipse chart shows, in a very particular way, some important aspects.

Symbolically, representing the eclipse itself, the Solar Eclipse has an almost exact conjunction, only 5 minutes apart — this is very significant and powerful in astrology. A conjunction like this represents an intense union of forces. Additionally, other aspects occur at the time of the eclipse, strengthening and making this energy even broader, deeper, and more complex.

SATURN IN PISCES RETROGRADE

There is an aspect of Saturn in Pisces (currently retrograde, 28º) touching both the Sun and Moon, an almost exact aspect, especially regarding the Moon. Saturn and Moon are naturally opposed, so when they form this exact position during a solar eclipse, we have very interesting energy: Saturn is structured, focused, and practical, while the Moon is emotional, sentimental, and introspective.

In this eclipse, Saturn is in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo. Virgo doesn’t resonate naturally with lunar energy because it tends to rationalize a lot, creating a duality to be observed.

Additionally, Saturn is retrograde, meaning it brings the opportunity to revisit lessons, especially connected to Piscean energy. The intention is to encourage a more introspective look, noticing Piscean issues both internal and collective that we may not have seen before, looking inward and understanding our internal impulses.

It may seem restrictive, a kind of pressure, and indeed figures of “demands” can appear in different ways. This happens because Saturn brings materialization: it brings the past (Pisces, 12th house) forward so we can integrate what wasn’t fully addressed. If something seemed resolved but resurfaces, it may not have been fully integrated at the right time, so it’s worth revisiting consciously.

When Saturn aspects the Moon and Sun during a solar eclipse, it creates a powerful energy of internal discipline. It may seem challenging because Saturn and emotions don’t naturally walk together, but with discipline and self-knowledge, this energy becomes very constructive. 

The Sun and Moon bring emotional discipline, helping to polish personality,

while Saturn provides focus and intensity to face our shadows.

Collectively, this aspect brings the need to go layer by layer, like peeling a giant onion. Saturn has been affecting us in Pisces these past years, for each of us in our own way.

In this eclipse, it’s interesting to observe how Saturn in Pisces moves you. Look inside and notice it.

At the moment of the eclipse, there’s a peak that reverberates for a long time after the astronomical and astrological event. So it’s not something that reflects only today, especially with Saturn, a slow planet that brings lessons over time haha. 

Perhaps it’s more about planting huge seeds to observe over the coming days, rather than rushing to understand the effect exactly now. It’s more about reflecting consciously AND consistently, okay?

This eclipse allows us to reflect on productivity (Virgo), mental health (Pisces), external discipline, self-approval, and the internal value we give to usefulness — all with Virgo energy of care, practice, and analysis.

It also reminds us to reflect on our personal value: what really matters to us, why is it important to work?

Beyond the financial perspective, what role does your work play in your life? And in society as a whole. 

CHIRON EM ARIES

At the time of the eclipse, Chiron in Aries brings this energy to the surface, highlighting difficulties and issues related to the body. It doesn’t mean everyone will be thinking about this at the same time, but it’s a vibration that manifests in the collective unconscious.

When we combine Virgo in the Sun, linked to consciousness, with Chiron unconscious in Aries, we see that each person deals with this energy according to their own path, choices, and internal patterns.

It’s a moment to notice these collective and individual wounds and reflect on how they influence our external actions.

Do I want to face my internal issues or will I seek approval from others? 

Virgo, when negatively expressed, tends to seek external approval,

wanting to prove their value, be recognized through practical life and work. It’s the desire to show the mother, father, family, society, or oneself that one is good. But in reality, this can have the opposite effect of what we truly want.

Let’s look at this wound, because it is more activated now. 

Every aspect involving Chiron moves a wound in our collective and individual psyche, activating something that needs attention. Even if the aspect is a quincunx, it generates this dynamic: if we don’t follow the path of self-knowledge, internal discomfort arises, which can pressure us.

Some people try to silence this internal voice and end up trying to prove something externally. Others feel a deeper discomfort, an existential crisis, and notice that something needs to be examined.

It is in this conflict, this crisis between the ego, which doesn’t want to listen, and the inner voice that indicates there is something more to perceive, that the deep gaze is born. 

This is what we seek through a solar eclipse: an opportunity to look inward, to connect with these wounds, and explore, build, and edify self-esteem (Sun) with more awareness.

 The Sun, in this eclipse, unfolds touching Saturn and Chiron in Aries, bringing this energy of confronting old wounds.

Many of these self-esteem issues have been carried for a long time, possibly since the beginning of civilization, and this is the moment to bring more consciousness and light to them.

But now we’re talking about a collective issue. 

Why collective?

Because it’s not just each person in their own corner.

 Everyone influences each other.

When one person seeks to reach a physical standard, they affect others, creating a pattern lived in the human psyche. We can’t deny this. Nowadays, we see this very strongly: bodybuilding, gym culture, aesthetic bodies. 

For many, it’s not just a healthy lifestyle — it’s the pursuit of a perfect body.

Chiron, even though in Aries and retrograde, makes us look even more deeply at these unconscious issues of our internal and collective Aries.

Fortuna also aspects the Sun and Moon, bringing the possibility of accessing this abundant Aries energy:

PART OF FORTUNE IN ARIES

Fortuna (PoF) in Aries brings an abundance of Aries energy, but in a beautiful way.

The Part of Fortune is like a “treasure chest” of opportunities: you only reach what is available when you go the right path, following your own evolution. This is my astrological view of the Part of Fortune.

This “treasure chest” energy, full of gems, installs itself, but not permanently. 

Eclipses are energies that arrive, linger for a while, and reverberate. This is how astrological transits work.

Some transits are strong even before reaching their exact moment. Others, like Pluto aspecting the Sun, for example, arrive with enormous intensity, felt even before the peak, and continue while the planets separate.

What does this mean? That even after the eclipse passes, its effects continue for each person in a unique way. Some may not even notice there was an eclipse, and that’s fine. Others feel it and follow what the energy brought. Each receives what they are open to receiving, following their free will.

I hope this text makes sense for you all.

Two pages I recommend:

One with the Eclipse chart

Another for you to see how the Eclipse may touch points in your own chart (I already linked them above so you don’t forget).

For me, as a Pisces, there will be a lot of movement related to the Sun hehe. It’s strong and important!

Other chart movements are also important, not just oppositions. It’s amazing to notice the effects — I’ve been feeling them for a few days already.

That’s why I say the eclipse intensifies the moment, amplifying what’s already moving.

For those interested, it’s an invitation to observe in yourself as well!
