REDEFINING YOUR HOW
On September 21st, 2025, the Moon goes dark at 29° Virgo, bringing with it a New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse—one of the most enchanted and fated lunations of the year. New Moons are always beginnings. Solar Eclipses, however, are more like portals—doorways that nudge, or sometimes shove us, onto a new path of destiny. This September 2025 New Moon falls at the very last degree of Virgo—a point of mastery, closure, and threshold. And because this is a South Node Eclipse, the invitation is clear: release the old. Let go of what no longer nourishes you. Step across the threshold with lighter hands, and a braver heart.
Virgo energy, ruled by Mercury, is the cosmic weaver of details, the guardian of wholeness, the priestess of devotion. At her best, Virgo reminds us that caring for ourselves is sacred—an act of love that ripples outward into everything we touch. At her shadow, Virgo demands perfection, endlessly critiquing and adjusting, whispering that we are never quite enough.
This eclipse reminds us: it is not just what you do, but how you do it.
The Shadow of Perfection
How often do we measure our worth by how much we can fix, improve, or accomplish? Virgo’s shadow thrives on this endless striving. It convinces us that we must earn rest, joy, or love—that if we just push a little harder, perfect a little more, then we will finally be worthy.
But the truth? You could change jobs, relationships, diets, or routines a hundred times. If the “how” behind your choices comes from fear, guilt, or self-criticism, the story will always feel the same. Stress lingers. Fulfillment remains out of reach.
This September 2025 Solar Eclipse is like a mirror held up to these illusions. It whispers: you were never broken. You don’t need to be fixed. You only need to be loved.
Redefining Your How
This eclipse invites you to transform your approach—not through doing more, but through loving more.
Virgo’s higher calling is devotion. Not the rigid kind, but the gentle kind. The devotion that makes brushing your teeth an act of care, that turns cooking a meal into alchemy. The devotion that tends to the body and spirit with tenderness rather than demand.
This lunation asks you to pause and ask: What is the energy behind my actions?
Am I doing this because I fear I’m not enough—or because I honour who I already am?
To shift your how is to transform your life. Suddenly routines are no longer chores, but rituals. Effort is no longer punishment, but prayer. You don’t have to wait until you’re perfect—you only have to begin from love.
A Cosmic Threshold
The astrology of this eclipse is rich with endings and beginnings. With most planets at the very first or last degrees of their signs, the sky itself mirrors a threshold moment: one door closing, another opening.
The eclipse is harmoniously supported by Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto—an orchestra of cosmic players reminding us there’s a higher plan unfolding. Saturn builds the bones, Neptune offers vision, Uranus sparks breakthroughs, and Pluto transforms from the root. Together, they weave the assurance that even in endings, there is design, purpose, and renewal.
It may feel like the ground is shifting—but perhaps that’s because the universe is clearing space for something more aligned to take root.
September 2025 New Moon in Virgo: Redefining Your How
This September 2025 New Moon Solar Eclipse is your invitation to step out of the old story of striving and into a new story of devotion. To stop living as though you must earn your place, and instead honour the sacredness of being here at all.
Because your wellbeing isn’t defined by what you do—it’s defined by how you do it.
This eclipse is not the end. It is a passageway. A chance to put down the weight of self-criticism, people-pleasing, and guilt. To move from fear into love. To let your every action, no matter how small, be an act of care.
The Virgo Solar Eclipse is the universe leaning close, whispering: redefine your how. Close the old chapter with grace, begin the new one with devotion, and trust—because you are already enough.
With love and care,
