We have a Virgo Solar Eclipse on 21 September 2025 at 19.09 GMT.

This eclipse lands in the anaretic 29th degree Virgo around 10 degrees from the Virgo South Node. That makes this a partial eclipse since 10 degrees separation means the Moon’s shadow doesn’t line up fully with the Earth.

With Saturn retrograding now in Pisces, in its final degree, bang opposite the Solar Eclipse, there is a sober, depletion and endings vibe, a recognition that cycles complete here.

Interestingly, it arrives at the final hour of the season, less than a day before the equinox, bringing a liminal quality. The light itself is in transition—day and night moving toward equal measure—so the eclipse does not just close a cycle, it seals the space between seasons. Saturn’s placement and this fact makes it heavier. It’s where a season closes.

When an eclipse happens so close in time to the equinox, it essentially stamps the equinox chart for the next season, which sets the tone for the next three months. So instead of being a passing eclipse like all the others, this one imprints itself into the whole autumn cycle.

In this case, this means that the depletion, endings, and confrontations with reality that belong to this Virgo decan, get woven into the seasonal chart— it’s the backdrop to the entire autumn.

Each 30 degree sign is split into 3 decans and Virgo’s third decan carries stark images of entropy—bodies prepared for burial, forests felled, limbs severed. It’s not a decan of life and resurrection. These images point to what happens when life has run its course and no longer sustains itself in it’s current form.

In times of upheaval, people reach for the comfort of a single story. It feels easier and perhaps safer to have one way of explaining everything neatly than to sit with uncertainty.

The digital age amplifies this tendency; the more simple and confident a narrative sounds, the faster it spreads. Yet we are too quick to stop testing, questioning, and holding the complexity of reality. Eclipses often expose this pattern—stripping back illusions and bringing us face to face with the very crutches we’ve relied upon.

The deeper invitation is to hold the big picture without surrendering our own discernment. Many filters exist—cultural, personal, cosmic—but they cannot, no matter how hold they try, eradicate what is real. Truth itself doesn’t collapse just because perception is distorted. These eclipses ask us to practice discernment in this collective fog, to see where collective narratives comfort but also possibly mislead, and to find steadiness in direct engagement with reality itself—that doesn’t simply means Virgo facts, data, and clear process. As we are collectively needing to unfold more of the Pisces North Node.

Perhaps the learning here is less about choosing Virgo or Pisces and more about bringing them into conversation. We need Virgo’s discernment, the ability to ground ourselves in fact, yet not as a rigid ledger that denies the bigger picture. Pisces adds the depth—a softer sight that holds paradox and complexity, senses the whole, and trusts that absolute truth can exist even when life looks messy or incomplete. Together they invite discernment without obsession or righteousness, a way of seeing that honours detail but doesn’t lose the wider meaning.

We are seeing people being triggered by events, yes; but more than that they are reacting to the stories built around the events. A speech, a political decision, a headline —all get combined together to form a narrative that feels acceptable, even when it contains contradictions or even absurdities, even when we can feel something isn’t vibing.

This eclipse pattern highlights that tendency. Neptune at the Aries Point blurs facts with stage theatre, while Saturn on the South Node in Pisces presses us to notice where depletion comes from outsourcing reality/truth to convenient stories that fit our expectations and a timeline of events. People truly believe that reality is like a game of chess. Some believe it’s a 5D game of chess. If reality is imagined as a chessboard—whether in 3D or 5D—then our role becomes one of watching the moves passively.

This idea that things are beyond our sight and that’s its guiding outcomes, totally drains our agency. Some believe fate or spirit is playing out as it should. Some believe that we are powerless regardless. Whatever the ground of belief, there’s something for everyone to believe, and in practice all are kept compliant, waiting, interpreting signs and breadcrumbs, and effectively immobilised.

Sovereignty, however, is a lucid presence that listens deeply, clearly, verifies what is real and moves with clean intent. Divine Presence activates sovereignty in a cluster of recognisable ways: a quieting in the nervous system (ie. no inner alarm); sudden mental clarity or revelation that unveils something; and inner “yes” or “no” but not dramatic; deep knowing in your heart; sometimes it turns up as signs, timing or dreams that amass to point one way; and sometimes it arrives as a slow, consistent unravelling where things become clear; sharpened sense that things do not add up.

Don’t expect one single channel to do all the work to get you there—some people mainly use somatic sense, others thinking, others symbolic or intuitive confirmation. It’s best if it’s a combination, and usually it will be, and more often than not, things will feel like they are falling into place. But pretty much always, it’s something you won’t forget. And if you first have the goal of discovering truth, then it’s far more likely to find you.

However it arrives, whatever marker, it is the same process: pause, notice and check. And what can emerge is a direct inner alignment that cuts through distortion and tells you what is real. Many things are taken as real simply because they are assumed, repeated, widely believed—or seized upon as the first point of call after stepping away from the mainstream story. Divine Presence though works proportionately—it can bring one precise response or a flood of clarity.

You see, people rarely test, or even pause to ask if what they believe is lived through their experience. Few people know when they don’t know, also. We can justify most things if we have clever, blindsiding minds. Neptune in Pisces can spin just about anything into truth, which is what has been happening. Saturn, still close to Neptune, but now back in Pisces—once again blurring the line between belief and reality, between narrative and fact. Most people simply don’t see the level of deception that exists; most people are trusting, and meet things at face value and accept what they are told. Perhaps they just have not been initiated into deception, abandonment and betrayal like others; they have encountered the dark side of humans and humanity.

So Saturn’s time in Pisces is pushing against this Neptunian fog, showing where structures are built only on assumption and trust. There are other assumptions too: like that institutions usually act in our best interest, that progress is inevitable; (technology and progress have been cleverly entangled for years!). These are largely accepted by the majority.

What this eclipse brings is a portal into sovereignty, giving us a chance to ask: does this actually sustain life? Am I blindly trusting or asking difficult questions? And in this questioning, is where we make more contact with truth and reality. We have the opportunity to recognise what is complete, to clears the props, as it were, and give full attention to the actions that truly serve our life.

The eclipse chart, with Neptune clouding perception and Saturn–South Node amplifying depletion, show us the danger of letting storylines dictate our lives. The system prefers people absorbed in narratives because it keeps them occupied. The astrology, though, points toward something different—a reckoning with endings, a testing to see what’s true, and reclaiming the ability and will to act rather than be herded into convenient channels of discourse, or worse, sides.

Reckonings are unavoidable, yet people’s instinct is to cling — to find a storyline that makes it all feel continuous. The eclipse refuses that. And the task is to move from reaction to inquiry—and not just “what happened”. We do need to be interested in connecting the dots.

Pluto in Aquarius intensifies this cling, hardening collective thought-forms so that opinions feel immovable. Neptune amplifies the drift effect, turning shallow conviction into mass agreement, without question. The challenge is not only to face what is being shown outside us, but also to see the unconscious agreements within that we’ve taken up as reality. And of that there are many.

The themes play out in the body itself as well. South Node eclipses often show up as withdrawal—weird sleep patterns and strange dreams. Saturn on the South Node reinforces the body’s truth: exhaustion as unavoidable, and pushing against it only deepens depletion. Listening to the body is crucial as it becomes a compass at these times.

A South Node eclipse often strips away support that once held life steady—time, money, energy, family, friends or trust in background systems. Saturn intensifies this process, applying pressure through shortage, limitations, hard boundaries, and delays.

What once flowed freely now contracts, sometimes to a painful degree. Yet in that contraction lies an acceptance, and with release we have space and at some point a capacity to return. When resources are withdrawn or challenged in some way, it exposes what we have taken for granted, and this is not a bad thing in western society. It also helps us become more self-sufficient.

Neptune’s presence (and Saturn 2 degrees off) on the Aries Point spreads illusions and delusions into the collective. Engineered narratives sculpting public perception. Groups and tribes harden around things like sentiment, and identity itself turns into currency.

The eclipse does not operate alone but plugs into a larger kite pattern. Trines from the Solar Eclipse extend to Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, opening channels for deep systemic change. Pluto bends institutions and power grids toward transformation, while Uranus jolts networks, media, and education into sudden shifts. Neptune infuses distraction and non-realities.

Virgo’s work in this storm is unglamorous: restore the ledger, check and double check, and insist on a clean trail from claims to evidence. Practical rituals help here—tidying one corner of the home, keeping a daily log, or cleansing the body with simple food. These acts ground you in reality when the wider atmosphere is spinning with confusion. Virgo’s scrutiny becomes the ground on which larger forces wrestle over reality itself. What happens in the personal ledger mirrors what is happening in the collective books—what balances, what no longer adds up, and where illusions are exposed.

Many planets sit in the final or initial degrees of signs, all very closely connected, which heightens the pressure. Sun, Moon, Saturn, and Mars all sit anaretic, creating urgency and compressing time. While Venus, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus all 0-2 degrees. So together, the effect is compressed endings meeting raw beginnings. We feel like one chapter is slamming shut while another is only barely open. It creates both urgency and disorientation—endings without full closure and beginnings without any stability—which makes discernment and steady orientation even more critical.

The Sun enters Libra opposite Neptune and trine both Pluto and Uranus, bringing relationship, law, and agreements to the centre of our lives. Libra introduces the need for recalibration, balance and fairness. Contracts, marriages, alliances, and political treaties all feel the weight of this, forcing a renegotiation of terms.

Mars square Pluto overlays the eclipse with raw intensity. This alignment speaks of extremes and struggles for dominance. It also offers a more constructive possibility: relentless focus, the drive that cuts a path where none existed before, and the courage to act. Mars brings fire, Pluto brings depth and control, and together they help us centre upon priorities. This can appear as power plays, outrage, compulsion, conflicts of will, or acts of destruction; yet it can be harnessed to make long-postponed changes.

When carried with intention, Mars–Pluto delivers impact that lasts. Choose a task worthy of Mars–Pluto and place it within a fixed container of time. Three concentrated hours each day across this fortnight will achieve a lot. Allocate your focus and energy wisely and deliberately.

Once the square is over, Mars in Scorpio is powerful, bringing us the persistence to finish a project, manage resources discreetly, or navigate relational dynamics with subtle strength.

The Chiron–Eris conjunction, exact in early October, brings a confrontation with how division and wounding are handled. Eris exposes the fractures caused by digital life, where outrage and tribal loyalty pose as truth, while Chiron reveals the issues of losing orientation to what is real and true. Together they demand a choice: keep fuelling identity wars and polarisation, or cultivate the discipline of presence, where these things do not exist. This shows itself as a split between those that harden into polarisation and those that begin the work of restoring trust in what can be verified as real and true. More on this next post.

The guiding points at this time: release what has spent itself and place your full weight behind a task you can truly move forward with before the Full Moon. The wider culture will wrestle with its illusions, yet orientation remains a personal task. Through subtraction and focus, firmer ground appears. This eclipse season reveals where energy no longer belongs, where clarity and resolve are required, and where the first shoots of new life are ready to take hold.
