Welcome to a rare gift—a second new Moon in Virgo coupled with a partial solar eclipse. This Virgo season has been unlike any other. It has given us a full month to practice a new way of being. The first new Moon and lunar eclipse on August 22nd cracked open the door to healing old stories about our worth. The solar eclipse on September 21st is about to blow that door wide open, offering us the chance to step through and claim our power once and for all. The universe is making something very clear: the time for waiting until you are ready is over.
When is the New Moon in Virgo + Solar Eclipse?
Sunday, September 21, 2025, 12:54 pm PT. The solar eclipse window begins at 10:29 am PT and ends at 2:53 pm PT.
What the New Moon in Virgo + Solar Eclipse Mean for You
We have arrived at the second act of our Virgo story—a partial solar eclipse that takes everything we have been working on around worthiness and multiplies its power. The new Moon and lunar eclipse on August 22 began this chapter. Now, the solar eclipse completes it and invites you to step fully into who you are becoming.
This partial solar eclipse marks a historic moment. It is our first eclipse on the Pisces-Virgo axis with the North Node in Pisces and South Node in Virgo. The South Node in Virgo the last several weeks has been illuminating every way perfectionism and self-criticism have kept you small and dissuaded you from sharing your gifts. The North Node in Pisces has been calling you toward trust in yourself, in your journey, in what you have to offer being needed right now.

Solar eclipses clear away what blocks your path. With the South Node involved, this eclipse specifically targets patterns you have carried for years, maybe lifetimes. The deep programming that says you must be flawless before you can serve. The belief that you need to be completely healed before you can help others heal. This eclipse brings a powerful message: Your imperfections qualify you. Your struggles give you wisdom. Your human journey is exactly what makes you the right person to help others on theirs.
The partial nature of this eclipse carries special significance. In a partial eclipse, some of the Sun’s light remains visible. This reminds us that releasing perfectionism does not have to be an all-or-nothing experience. Some old patterns might remain, and that is okay. What matters is that enough light gets through. Enough of your true self shines past the shadow of unworthiness.
During the eclipse window, cosmic energy intensifies. Downloads arrive quickly. Insights come suddenly. Patterns that have gripped you for years can release in moments. This eclipse is not asking you to become someone new. It is asking you to finally be who you have always been, without the harsh filter of perfectionism.
3 Activations From the Solar Eclipse + New Moon in Virgo
You have had a full month between the initial new Moon in Virgo and the solar eclipse to practice new ways of being. You have experimented with speaking kindly to yourself. You have tried sharing your gifts before feeling ready. You have discovered what happens when you stop waiting for perfection. Now, the eclipse arrives to anchor these new patterns into your life.
Pay attention to what unfolds in the days surrounding this eclipse. Opportunities may arrive that require you to show up before you feel prepared. People might suddenly recognize and request your gifts. Old situations that triggered your unworthiness might return—not to test you, but to show you how much you have grown.
This solar eclipse and new Moon also bring an important reminder: do not try to control the process. Virgo wants to analyze and perfect, but eclipse energy works through surrender and trust. The more you try to manage what is happening, the less space you create for magic.
This eclipse and new Moon in Virgo bring three specific activations. First, it dissolves the illusion that you need to earn your worth through endless self-improvement. You might suddenly see how exhausting it has been to constantly try to fix yourself. The goal of “good enough” keeps moving because it was never real. This recognition brings freedom.
Second, it activates your ability to serve from exactly where you are right now. Not next year when you have more training. Not next month when you feel more confident. Right now, with all your imperfections, someone needs what you have to offer. The eclipse makes this truth undeniable.
Third, it opens a portal for spiritual leadership rooted in authenticity. The North Node in Pisces calls for leaders who lead with vulnerability, who teach through their humanity, who inspire by being real. This eclipse initiates you into this new paradigm where your wounds become wisdom and your struggles become strength.
Your Invitation
The eclipse portal is open from August 24th through September 26th, with the solar eclipse as the peak moment. Use this time wisely. Write down what you are ready to release about perfectionism. Create affirmations that reinforce your worthiness. Most importantly, take one action that demonstrates you believe in yourself right now, not someday.
This solar eclipse and new Moon in Virgo is your cosmic graduation ceremony. You are graduating from the school of “not good enough yet.” You are stepping into knowing that you are ready now—not because you are perfect, but because you are real. The world needs what you came here to offer. Your people are waiting for someone who understands their struggles because you have walked that path.
The eclipse is here to remind you of a simple truth: You have always been enough. The preparation phase is over. The sharing phase begins now. Trust yourself. Trust your journey. Trust that your imperfect gifts are exactly what someone is praying for. The portal is open. Step through it as yourself—finally, fully, powerfully yourself.
