New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo (September 21, 2025): Who will feel it most?

On September 17, 2024, the sky brings a major turning point: a New Moon Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo. 

That last degree is the zodiac’s finishing line—urgent, final, and demanding closure. Paired with eclipse energy, it creates a sense of last-chance momentum, the push to let go of what’s not working and start over.

This isn’t just another New Moon. It’s the only solar eclipse in the Virgo–Pisces cycle running through 2027, which makes it a defining moment for themes around work, health, service, and balance. In short: this one counts.

Why it feels so intense

Eclipses always bring change, but this one comes with extra pressure. At the final degree of Virgo, it asks us to wrap up what’s unfinished and bring clarity where life has grown messy. Virgo energy demands order, while Saturn and Neptune in Pisces pull in the opposite direction.

There’s also support: Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn send steady backing, opening doors for breakthroughs, reinvention, and deep transformation. 

For some, that could mean shaking up careers or money matters; for others, a shift in daily rhythms or routines. The South Node nearby makes it clear: growth now comes through release. Outdated habits, toxic work cycles, or endless self-criticism? Time to let them go.

The collective reset

Beyond individual charts, this eclipse also speaks to the systems we live within. Virgo shines a spotlight on where our foundations, that is, healthcare, education, the environment aren’t holding up. Its opposite sign, Pisces, reminds us that compassion without order becomes chaos, while order without compassion is empty. The balance is overdue.

We may see louder debates about responsibility, truth, and accountability. Collectively, the pressure is on to stop patching cracks and actually rebuild.

Who feels it most

Mutable signs, that is, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces with placements at the final degrees will feel this eclipse most strongly. For them, endings and beginnings may arrive quickly, with little room to stall.

Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, the cardinal signs, at early degrees are also pulled into major shifts, especially around career, leadership, and relationships.

The ripple effects won’t fade right away; they’ll play out over the next three to six months. Virgos and Pisces may redefine their roles in work and service. Geminis and Sagittarians could face turning points in travel, education, or communication.

Taurus and Capricorn might be reworking finances or career paths. Aries and Libra will meet new cycles in leadership and partnerships. And Leo and Aquarius may find their values and sense of security under review.

This eclipse is less about gentle beginnings and more about sharp endings that clear the way for something better. It doesn’t let us avoid what’s broken and move forward lighter. It’s a chance to realign with what actually matters.
