September 22nd 2025, 5.55am
There’s a profound quietness available to us right now, if we can find our way to it. This solar eclipse in Virgo, arriving Monday at the potent 29th degree, sits in perfect opposition to Saturn in the equally powerful anaretic degree of Pisces—a configuration that speaks to the deeply symbolic nature of this moment.
The Wisdom of Retrograde Saturn in Pisces
Saturn retrograde in Pisces has us walking familiar territory, finishing up a cycle that whispers of softening. Here, forgiveness becomes palpable, medicine flows freely, and love reveals itself as the only true way forward. This Piscean energy asks us to feel again, to become sensitive in a world that has taught us to turn away.
Virgo’s Call to Purification
Across the axis, the solar eclipse in Virgo brings a different but complementary energy—a gut-deep knowing about life’s suffering and the alchemical process of purification. Virgo rules the small intestine, our body’s center of digestion and discernment. This eclipse asks us fundamental questions about how we’re digesting everything we consume:
• The media we absorb
• The entertainment we choose
• The food we eat
• The work we engage in
• Our friendships and partnerships
• Our connection to the earth itself
How are we organizing our days? How are we tending to our physical health and well-being? How are we moving, breathing, caring for ourselves and others?
The Path of Re-sensitization
To truly digest, we must become sensitive enough—and I believe Virgo carries a sensitivity that reaches far beyond the desensitization our world currently experiences. What’s happening globally is triggering us to turn inward, to reclaim our capacity to feel.
Virgo embodies the essence of Ayurveda in action—the wise priestess who understands all forces: earth and heaven, heart and mind, body and elements. This energy knows how to alchemize these forces into a river of gold flowing through our channels, not to solidify but to illuminate who we truly are, releasing us from what desensitization has done to us.
Cycles Within Cycles
Where this eclipse falls in your personal chart will illuminate what this means for your unique journey. Remember, we’re working with cycles within cycles here—the intricate dance of celestial timing that speaks to your soul’s path.
This is not a time for new beginnings or even traditional seed-planting, despite being a new moon. This is a solar eclipse with the south node—the past may surface, and this becomes a serious portal for letting go. More than letting go, Pisces brings the energy of dissolution.
The Equinox Gateway
Immediately following this eclipse, the sun moves into Libra at 0 degrees—our Equinox point, the great balance point of spring or autumn depending on where you are. This amplifies the transformational wave with additional astrological aspects that continue supporting this profound shift.
Finding the Way Through
This may not feel easy, but the way through lies in the spaces between—in the transition itself. These are transition times, asking us to drop into those liminal spaces where there’s nothing to do but see, witness, feel, and be within.
Allow your heart to feel so you can re-sensitize. Become the fierce heart warrior for each other, for the world, for humanity and Earth herself, for universes beyond universes. Learn that we’re all playing our part in this magnificent unfolding.
