This Virgo Solar Eclipse gives you the opportunity to get serious about tending to the Garden of your Mind. Where do you need to put up a fence to keep the opinions of others from coming in and eating your beautiful offerings? Where have those insidious weeds of negative self talk, criticism, judgment, blame, and holding yourself back started to choke your expression of your Sacred Service? Where might you need to build some trellises so your devotion to your health & wellbeing can climb even higher?

The Partial Solar Eclipse will be visible from New Zealand, plus a thin strip of Australia’s eastern coast, various Pacific islands, and parts of Antarctica.

Reminder this is NOT the time to set any intentions, do rituals or manifestating. The Eclipse energies are much too volatile. If you’re bursting at the seams to make them, wait at least until October 1st, or even better, until the Libra New Moon in late October.

With this Eclipse occurring in the Sign of Virgo, in the next 3 months we can expect some type of clearing & releasing around jobs, work/life balance, health & wellness, judgment, criticism, and victim mentality.

Remember that Eclipses are fated moments where our Higher Self realigns us toward our Destiny.

During an Eclipse, it’s best to simply BE. Instead of trying to work with the energies, simply allow the energies to work for you. Rest, stay hydrated, and observe the patterns that are unfolding for your highest good (even if it might feel like all hell is breaking loose right now).

If you’d like to dive deeper, I taught a 4-hour class last week, going over everything you need to know about this Virgo South Node Partial Solar Eclipse. You can still sign up to receive the replay here.

Ruled by Mercury, Virgo in its quintessence is all about pattern recognition and your path of Sacred Service & devotion. It is associated with the archetypes of the priestess, healer, disciple, gardener, herbalist, mentor, and the specialist.

In its healed expression, Virgo is devoted, organized, intelligent, discerning, efficient, humble, and able to perceive the symbolic patterns & interconnectedness of the material realm.

In its unhealed expression, it can be overly critical, judgmental, rigid, perfectionistic, uncertain, timid, lack of confidence, and self-sacrificing in the service of others.

The effects of Virgo eclipses can be more shifting, evolving, puzzling or sometimes confusing, (because it’s a Mutable sign) but they are generally not as intense as Cardinal or Fixed eclipses. We can usually see results in 3 months.

Virgo eclipses influences:

Public health, hospitals, social services, caregivers, nurses, medical records, nutrition, herb/vitamin industry, health workers, data systems, diabetes & other heath issues that require daily maintenance, etc.
Liver, pancreas, GI tract – really all health/wellness related issues
The working sector, bosses, employees, renters/rental properties, work/life balance, jobs, employment/unemployment, record keeping, utilities, home improvement, property maintenance & development, armies, civil servants, etc.
Food production/distribution, farming, supply chains, animal health, hygiene (on all levels, animal, personal, energetic), supplies, bees, drought, earth work (landslides, mining, earth quakes), seeds, famine, insects, etc.
Pets, veterinarians, and generally anything & everything we take care of/manage on a daily basis.
Take extra good care of your health, rest well, eat well, take time off work, don’t force anything.
NO ALCOHOL OR SUBSTANCES. The energy is already trippy enough! The veils between realms are dissolved. One glass of wine can feel like five…
Check your chart for 29° Virgo and what house that corresponds to for clues as to how/where this eclipse might affect you.

There is something from your past, related to your sacred service, your confidence, self-worth, and your devotion to your unique path that has gotten locked away all these years – in favor of others.

Sometimes this looks like over-giving, people pleasing… or putting the needs of others before your own… allowing the judgement or criticism of others (or yourself) to paralyse you, this addiction to perfection crushing your confidence to let your magic out.

But over the past year, the Pisces part of you has been flooding your consciousness, washing away all of your old ideas about what true perfection & devotion look like (hint: it has nothing to do with sacrifice, and everything to do with you being more devoted to yourself & your own health & wellness first). What is the most ideal vision you have for your life? Can you dream even bigger?

ASPECTS TO THE VIRIGO SOLAR ECLIPSE

The Solar Eclipse occurs at 29° Virgo and will be engaged in the following aspects:

__________

The Solar Eclipse will be forming a Kite formation with an opposition from both Saturn at 28º Pisces and Neptune at 0º Aries, along with a grand trine involving Uranus at 1º Gemini and Pluto at 1º Aquarius. There may be tension from past relationship situations where we have been confused or delusional and unable to exercise our own Inner Authority. These situations often come up in relationship dynamics when one person is (knowingly or unknowingly) benefiting from the overgiving or self-sacrificing of the other person. This eclipse is here to end all that.

Retrograde Saturn in Pisces is dredging up these situations from the past (when Saturn was in Pisces from 2023-early 2025), to give us a second chance to set things right, and stand up for our own needs. When Saturn finishes his retrograde and moves back into Aries for good, you will be glad you’ve done this heavy lifting this eclipse season.

The trines from Pluto & Uranus are here to help. If I can only give you two words that would help you navigate this eclipse they would be: change & transformation.

Pluto, Lord of Transformation, Death & the Underworld is here as your cosmic funeral coordinator, helping you to set upon the funeral pyre all those people, places, and situations that have tried to manipulate or control your authentic expression.

Uranus, the Rebel, Revolutionary, and Genius Innovator of the Zodiac is here to help you stage a coup against all those thoughts, ideas, and ways of communicating that have had you thinking small.

I shared about the 6th Gate/Gene Key as it’s related to this eclipse in great depth in our Solar Eclipse Class. In short, this Solar Eclipse is initiating a huge karmic reset around how we think about our physical bodies. It’s time to love yourself – even with all of your (perfect) imperfections. You need to love your body more than you think.

Here are some suggestions to support you as you prepare for the Solar Eclipse. I would also recommend to continue these practices until one week after the eclipse as well.

*This guidance is especially important if you or anyone you know have/has your Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, or Nadir (including personal planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars, and to a lesser degree Jupiter & Saturn) between 24° Virgo/Pisces – 4° Libra/Aries.

How to support yourself during the eclipse:

How to support yourself during the eclipse: #1 always: follow your Strategy & Authority
- Rest, take exceptionally good care of your health & don’t try to push or over extend yourself. Virgo/Pisces eclipses can affect the immune system, so do whatever feels good to support yourself in that way.
- Light / Color
- Sun Salutations, Sungazing
- Sound (esp healing, devotional, massage music), mantras
- Earthing
- Embody the energy of any planets affected in your chart
- Go with the flow – eclipses bring things to a head (don’t resist!)
- Make space, clean, clear, purge, and have those difficult conversations
- Heart Coherence – working with your Electromagnetic field
- Magnetized water, Moonlight water, prayer, gem elixirs (made ahead of time)
- Kundalini
- High vibe foods, places, media, etc
- CLEAR YOUR FIELD, journal, burn shit, look for any old, unconscious patterns – what have you been tolerating??
- Be extra intentional about your hygiene on all levels – physical, energetic, etc.
- Go gentle with any cleanses you might do, the purgative effects are heightened.
- Cover your head with a hat or scarf during the time of the eclipse, even if it’s not visible where you are.

SOLAR ECLIPSE JOURNAL PROMPTS

_________

Spend some time reflecting on your Sacred Service in the world and how you are being called to get more serious about your devotional path during this time of change on our planet.
What patterns or habits (especially mental – negative self-talk, criticism of self/others) need to be cleansed, purified, or released so that you can deepen your devotional path of service? Where do you need to affirm your boundaries of what you are available for (especially with yourself)?
Where have you been overgiving or self-sacrificing (especially in your relationships)?
How can you come back home to your love for your physical body and stand strong through your Inner Authority in the coming 6 months?
Where do you need to make radical changes in how you think about & communicate about what you are devoted to?
What thought forms need to die within you so that you can reclaim your power to be your most radical, unique, authentic self?
As we move into this next Astrological cycle with the upcoming Equinox, what are you being called to release so you can move into this new cycle in a good way?
