Globally, September’s Partial Solar Eclipse will commence at 17:29 UT/GMT, with the maximum phase—when the Moon obscures the largest portion of the Sun—occurring at 19:43 UT/GMT. Exact timings may vary depending on your location.

How to view the eclipse safely: Never gaze at the Sun through ordinary sunglasses. The only safe way to observe this celestial phenomenon directly is with specially designed solar filters—use solar eclipse glasses for direct viewing, and solar filters for telescopes or binoculars.

In astrology, eclipses are potent moments of karmic shifts and transformation. This Solar Eclipse, closing the Eclipse Corridor that began on September 7, is no exception: its energy can shake up familiar structures, encouraging the release of what no longer serves you and the embrace of new perspectives.

Key Aspects of the Eclipse & New Moon in Virgo:

The Sun and Moon conjunction Mercury bless this period with the ability to skillfully review and correct past mistakes. If challenging conversations lie ahead, there is a cosmic opportunity to choose words wisely, expressing your true intentions (ruled by the Sun) and emotions and feelings (ruled by the Moon) with clarity and authenticity.

The Sun and Moon opposition Saturn and Neptune present a true test of patience and consistency. How well have we taken responsibility for our actions (Saturn)? Do we have the courage to live beyond illusions and self-deception (Neptune)?

Also remember that the results of decisions made during this New Moon and Solar Eclipse may last a long time, in keeping with Saturn’s influence.

The Sun and Moon trine Uranus and Pluto — despite the Virgoan rigor and sometimes cool precision of the Sun and Moon — these harmonious trines may bring pleasant and unexpected surprises (Uranus). Embrace your creativity, flexibility, and curiosity for new experiences.

The good news is that, no matter the tests set by this Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Virgo trine Pluto strengthens our inner core, fortifying our spiritual resilience and sense of stability. Furthermore, these aspects support the manifestation of the intentions set during this New Moon with ease and grace.

Depending on your personal Birth chart and actions taken in the past, the Eclipse Corridor may have manifested differently for each individual. Some experienced pleasant life moments, while others faced greater challenges.

The energy of the Eclipse Corridor extends roughly 2–3 days before its onset, throughout September 7–21, and 2–3 days after, though the peak intensity aligns with the core dates of the corridor. Reflect on your inner state and the events that unfolded during this period. Record your insights and use them to set relevant personal intentions for this New Moon in Virgo, and begin taking action toward their realization over the next two weeks.

Check if any of your Big 3—Ascendant, Sun, or Moon—fall within these signs.

Virgo: The eclipse energy in your sign clears inner space, offering a sense of relief and renewed vitality. Pay close attention to new professional opportunities and avenues for personal growth.

Pisces: The eclipse reflects the fruits of your past efforts. Now is the time to reassess relationships and establish healthy boundaries in interactions with others. This is a period for conscious decisions and nurturing personal harmony.

Gemini: Your innate intuition comes to the forefront. Retrograde Uranus in your sign helps you recognize how to harness inner abilities for practical growth and life problem-solving.

Sagittarius: A moment to expand your life vision. This is a good time to consolidate achievements and take confident steps toward new opportunities in career and personal life. Revisit your long-term goals, as new possibilities may become visible.

The Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025 belongs to Saros Cycle 154 (eclipses repeat approximately every 18 years and 11 days). The previous eclipse in this series occurred on September 11, 2007, in Virgo, focusing on health, daily routines, and the reevaluation of habits.

The 2025 eclipse occurs at 29° Virgo, near a critical degree, which amplifies its influence. It urges the completion of old cycles, the release of the unnecessary, and the formation of new, harmonious structures. Themes from 2007 may resurface, but now through the lens of self-improvement and inner harmony—offering a chance to release the past and move forward with renewed energy.

⚠️ Attention: During eclipses, it is especially important to work gently with the energy, incorporating protective elements (circle, crystals, water) and focusing on personal intentions. Major transformations or sudden actions—such as radical life changes without full certainty—are best undertaken after the eclipse, when the energy has stabilized somewhat.

What You Will Need:

• Two sheets of paper and a pen
• A bowl of water
• A candle

Optional items:

• Crystals: Amethyst (clarity), Labradorite (protection and self-discovery), Rose Quartz (harmony and balance), Selenite (cleansing), Hematite (focus and grounding)
• Essential oils (if no allergies)

How to Perform the Ritual:

1. Create a Circle: Sit quietly and visualize a circle around yourself—this is your protected sacred space.
2. Releasing the Old: On the first sheet of paper, write down what you wish to release. Submerge it in water or add a few drops of oil—these are symbols of gentle letting go.
3. Setting Intentions: On the second sheet, write 1–3 personal goals and draw small circles around them to amplify their energy.
4. Anchoring the Energy: Light your candle, place crystals near your new intentions, and tune into the flow of energy from the Sun, New Moon, and water.
5. Completion: Dispose of or bury the first sheet to release old energies. Keep the second sheet visible as a reminder of your intentions.

🌑🌞 May this New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse bring you a flow of favorable possibilities and grand new beginnings. Trust yourself, and fill each day with joy, light, and the magic of personal growth! ✨
