On September 21, 2025, we close the current eclipse season with a partial solar eclipse in Virgo. Astronomically, it’s a deep partial event—greatest coverage occurs over the South Pacific with best viewing from southern New Zealand, Antarctica, and parts of Oceania (local sunrise on Sept 22 in NZ due to time zones). Peak alignment occurs around 19:43 UTC. It will not be visible from North America.
Astrologically, this eclipse lands at 29° Virgo, conjunct the South Node—a karmic, completion-flavored anaretic degree that compels purification, simplification, and smarter systems. If the Pisces Lunar Eclipse (Sept 7) dissolved what’s done, this Virgo eclipse rewrites the operating manual. Expect a sober emphasis on health, craft, service, boundaries, and daily order—and a felt push to refine the way you do what you do. (CHANI)
What makes this eclipse special?
- End-of-sign potency: 29° of any sign concentrates the lesson. In Virgo, that’s about precision with compassion: cutting noise, keeping what works. (Forever Conscious)
- Season finale: This eclipse closes the Sept 7 (Pisces) → Sept 21 (Virgo) arc: release → re-design. Many will feel a “clean install” moment across routines, workflows, and wellbeing. (People.com)
- Where/when in the sky: Greatest eclipse ~19:43 UTC on Sept 21; southern hemisphere visibility, especially New Zealand/Antarctica and parts of the South Pacific. (Time and Date)
Virgo Eclipse Themes (Hellenistic + Whole-Sign lens)
- Purification: Reduce inputs, remove tolerations, choose one right tool over five half-measures.
- Embodied wisdom: Health routines that actually fit your life. Think small, repeatable refinements.
- Skill and service: Sharpen the craft; quality over quantity; practical devotion > performative busy-ness.
- Discernment: Virgo isn’t about perfectionism—it’s about appropriateness. Put things in their right place.
