NEW MOON/SOLAR ECLIPSE IN VIRGO:  September 21, 2025 at 12:54 p.m. PDT

This New Moon is also a powerful Solar Eclipse! It makes some truly spectacular planetary alignments. The Sun and the Moon are opposed by Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Aries. They also form a Grand Trine with Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. 

In other words, this eclipse brings a very powerful energy pattern - a Kite - highlighting " a chapter closes and a new one begins" energy of the second half of 2025. 

The energies of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction and the Uranus-Pluto trine have been active for a while, but it's this eclipse that triggers them and sets events in motion.  

And, Mercury is conjunct the Sun and the Moon, bringing unexpected or surprising news. What was "hidden" or in the works now comes to the surface.  

For Some Predictive Astrology:

If your birthday is on Sept. 19-23, next 12 months can bring karmic redirections.  Don't fight them.  The outcome will be in your greatest good, even if getting there feels like a wild ride! 

And, if you are between the ages of 29-30 and 58-60, this is also Saturn Return year.  It's the year when "foundational blocks" of our lives get built or taken down.  For most people, it's marriages, careers, home purchase or sale, babies (or grandbabies!).  Much depends on where Saturn falls into your natal chart, and what aspects it makes. 

But, if your Saturn Return happens in 2025-2026, my oh my!  Neptune, close to Saturn in the skies between April 2025 and March 2026, is also at play.  There may be a disillusioning experience, but there is also a tremendous opportunity to bring a cherished dream into a reality.  

And, this very eclipse sets it all off....  If this is you, this is a good year to have a reading. 

For the Manifestor:

The manifestation energy of this eclipse is 10 out of 10 (!!).  And, here is something to consider.  Eclipse Season is a powerful portal.  Timelines bend. The future becomes the present, and the present powerfully shapes the future.  Past hurts, disappointments and karmic debts can be purged and released once and for all.

But, here is the thing.  You have to be INTENTIONAL about all this.  This eclipse is in Virgo, so be intentional about building daily routines that support your goals in this lifetime - and beyond! 

How about this for a thought:  your spirit never dies. It moves from lifetime to lifetime with purpose and intention.  It transcends your current incarnation and looks for a higher purpose for your soul, that connects multiple lifetimes.  You can actually start planning your next lifetime now!

Consider the people you desire to return with, and release any karmic attachments to the ones you don't.  Plan the joyous times you want to share, and consciously let go of the difficult patterns you want to release.  

And, make your intentions known to the Universe. 

While planning your next life with intention is always a worthy undertaking, there is also the here and now 🙂 If something in your life is stuck and can't get traction no matter how hard you try, setting intentions on an eclipse can get you unstuck fast! 

As with all eclipses, there is a catch.  Eclipse energy is very powerful, but it's erratic. What you desire can happen fast, but it can be a wild ride!   

Having said all that, I worked with eclipses all the time when I was younger, and was amazed at the results.  Now that I'm older and have too much to lose, I don't want to take the risk and I set them out.

Since this eclipse is in Virgo, it's great for setting intentions for  improved health, weight control, healthy lifestyle changes, a fitness routine that sticks, efficiency, and staying organized.

You're not limited to these topics though!  Anything that you want to jump start is fair game.  But, intentions for the areas ruled by Virgo will get an extra boost.

How To:

1. Set intentions within 8 hours after the New Moon if you can. (Within 24 hours will still work).

2. Focus on your intentions. Truly FEEL them. How will it feel when you’ve established consistent daily habits that you KNOW will propel you to your goals? When you look and feel at your healthiest, most radiant self? When all the non-productive clutter disappears from your life, and you are focusing and making progress toward your best life? Evoke and hold onto that feeling as you're setting your intentions.

3. Keep repeating your intentions until the next Full Moon on October 6. Take the time to acknowledge and celebrate progress towards your goals, even if it feels like small steps.
   
   
4. Watch for synchronicities and unexpected events that move you toward your goal(s). They are an affirmation that what you've asked for is coming. 

Sample Intentions:

"I want to easily build daily habits that support my best, healthiest, happiest, most prosperous and most empowered life".

"I want to easily build daily habits that are in my greatest good".

“I want to easily be able to start and stick to a healthy diet”

“I want to easily find myself <running, doing yoga> ____ days a week”.

“I want to easily find myself establishing a productive routine that gives me plenty of time for my business, family and ___________”.

“I want to be able to organize my <home, work> in the way that is most productive for me”.

“I want to easily be able to discern and focus on my key goals in life. I want all tendencies to burying myself in non-productive work lifted from me”.

“I want to easily complete work/personal projects with minimum stress and maximum efficiency”.

To Go Deeper:

We all have the ability to draw what we desire to us, the ability to manifest the future we want. We don't always use it, because we don't know how!

There is only so much I can cover in a blog post, but good news!  

My popular New Moon workshop is now available as a digital mini-course.  You can take it at the time convenient for your time zone.  I recommend taking it right before you start setting your intentions: the workshop ends with a powerful visualization that takes you straight into your intention setting.

And yes, it includes a lesson on eclipse energy.
