The universe communicates powerful messages through celestial events, signaling moments for personal transformation and renewal. As we approach the new moon solar eclipse in Virgo, which is conjunct the South Node at 29 degrees, we enter a period ripe for introspection and significant change. Eclipses are not just astronomical phenomena; they are dynamic catalysts urging us to reflect, release old patterns, and embark on new beginnings. This powerful eclipse occurs on September 21, 2025 at 12:54 PM MST. The last time you experienced this eclipse was in 2006. Was there an event that surprised you and started your life on a new fated path back then? Was there something you needed to let go of in order for something new to begin? That is the theme of a new moon solar eclipse. Something that is no longer part of your life's journey will be eclipsed out in order for you to welcome in what is meant for you now. A 19 year cycle ends so a new one can begin. Do not fear what is let go at this time.
In this post, we will explore the implications of this new moon solar eclipse and its historical significance as a marker of endings and fresh starts. We will discuss the nature of eclipses, the effects of the eclipse ruler Mercury positioned at 5 degrees of Libra, the positive energy of a Grand Air trine involving Pluto and Uranus, and the impactful YOD configuration that includes Mars, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn.
Understanding Eclipses
Eclipses have been revered across cultures for centuries. Many societies considered them celestial warnings or messages from higher powers. An eclipse happens when the moon moves directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking sunlight temporarily. This event aligns with Virgo's energy, intensifying its effects. In Virgo, this eclipse encourages us to examine our everyday habits, health routines, and our work-life balance.
Historically, eclipses initiate themes that resonate for many months. This specific eclipse invites a critical look at our daily practices. This eclipse may inspire further efforts toward healthier lifestyles, prompting changes in diet, exercise, and self-care routines. But before we can experience this new beginning the eclipse will show us under the cover of darkness what me must first let go of. There is something that is a part of your daily routines that is no longer healthy for you and it has to go.
Themes of a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo:
✅ Health & Well-being
A wake-up call about your physical, mental, or emotional health.
New practices, routines, or medical advice that improve your well-being.
✅ Work & Purpose
Shifts in your job, role, or how you serve others.
A chance to align your daily work with your deeper sense of purpose.
✅ Organization & Clarity
A push to clean up, get organized, and simplify your life.
Letting go of habits or clutter that no longer serve you.
✅ Service & Contribution

✅ Discernment & Self-Improvement
Learning to separate what’s truly important from distractions.
Letting go of perfectionism that holds you back, while still striving for meaningful improvement.
The Impact of Mercury in Libra
Mercury, the planet of communication and decision-making, rules this eclipse. Situated at 5' 59" degrees of Libra, it highlights themes of diplomacy and relationships. The unique aspect of a Grand Air trine—formed with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini—creates a nurturing flow of ideas, promoting innovative solutions to longstanding issues. A grand trine is an opportunity that is presented to you, that you need to respond to. This one of course is fated, it can completely change your life. This is new ideas, new offers, and new information that can change the current direction of your life.
This eclipse is an excellent opportunity to share feelings and ideas honestly while being receptive to different viewpoints. The balance between Mercury's influence and the energy of the trine can uncover truths that lead to necessary adjustments in how we connect and understand one another.
The Significance of the YOD Configuration
The YOD, known as the "Finger of God," signifies moments of divine intervention. In this configuration, Mars at 29 degrees of Libra is linked to Uranus at 1 degree of Gemini, Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries, and Saturn at 28 degrees of Pisces. Mars drives action and initiative, urging us toward bold steps while urging conscious decision-making through Uranus and Neptune, who guide us toward spiritual truths.
This current configuration encourages proactive choices and promotes self-reflection, paving the way for rapid insights or changes in our aspirations and personal relationships. The 'finger' points towards Mars, which means you must take action, especially where your relationships are concerned. If you are not being respected, it's time to move on.
The Kite Formation
The mini triangle, the Grand air trine, and the opposition between the New Moon, Saturn and Neptune, is creating an energetic opportunity that is likely to create a tremendous amount of pressure and tension on you. This fated opportunity is a critical test of your commitment to leave unhealthy situations. A kite does not fly itself, it requires someone, you, to lift it off the ground. As it rises so will you, especially if you have any planets at 29 degrees. This is a challenging energy but the effort will be worth it in the long run. 29 degrees is a critical degree, this is a test, and you want to pass it with flying colors.
