Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse

Sept. 21, 2025 Energy Report

This New Moon is actually a part of a partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo. The day after we arrive into Libra season. We have a dynamic relationship energy of a push pull, topsy turvy, me you, this way that way, over here over there, energy and reaction with things happening in society here now with the Virgo/Pisces axis in this beginning lunar cycle.

If you have been following along with my posts or any other Astrologer, you will notice the general emphasis on this axis and the themes therein as of late. One of the things I love about Astrology is learning about the integration of opposites. Like the Yin/Yang symbol, there is balance and necessity of two seemingly separate energies, yet combine to make a whole. Combining and integrating consciously is the trick.

Some Virgo/Pisces Axis Themes

Man/God

Human/Spirituality

Separate/One

Mundane daily tasks/Escapism

Enduring Pain/Escaping from pain

Victim/Savior

Shame/Unconditional love

Dull/Extreme

Perfection/Everything everywhere

Detail/The whole picture

Microcosm/Macrocosm

Reality/Fantasy

The Real/Imagination

Effort, Doing/Letting go

Controlling/Unboundedness

Control/Chaos

What’s in my Control/What I have no control over

Any of these can be experienced as way off balance.

We might need to incorporate the other side or bring them to a balance.

This New Moon can activate more of the habitual expressions of Virgo or require us to use skills we already have, lean into them, perfect them.

Integrating some of these together we get themes like:

Making an imagined idea real with effort.

Perfection working towards an ideal.

Accepting the “realness” of another rather than the fantasy.

Dealing with pain or difficult things directly.

Put individual personal effort into society, global issues. 

Being of service to something bigger than you.

Trusting the process while also doing the work.

Synthesize the details for a wider understanding and adjustment..

Bringing meaning, Spirit and mysticism into daily tasks.

Relating any of those opposites to the area of your life involving relationships, especially with partners from the past, or how you have been in relationships in the past, or holding onto an aspect of that, that call for attention here to initiate self-analysis, maturity, forgiveness and responsibility for healing and improving yourself in this area of life. We might have to talk about it, start the conversation. Have some understanding. Grow from here.

This can even be in the simple daily interactions you have with people that need objectivity here. What’s your general demeanor when you’re talking with someone or meeting someone for the first time? Or with your friends, family members or service workers?

Be aware of power dynamics with this as well. Mine/yours, manipulation or the seductive pulls that drain your energy rather than support, uplift, or enliven it. Too much one side on the balance scale. Be conscious of your personal power, your individuality and personal energy, and where your energy leaks are while being aware of what you allow, and to what you have the choice to pull away from, or divert your attention towards, things that lift you up and support your new levels and horizons. Here’s a taste for Scorpio season coming up.

With the opposition of this New Moon with Saturn and Neptune there can also be the feeling of being victimized by the world at large or by society as a whole as well. You can have a negative take on things. You can hold yourself  back with inner talk that doesn’t believe in our full potential.

In your mind, your ego does the task of keeping you safe and familiar with what’s known it it can always point out our "imperfections." Perfection can keep you from acting or doing. Nothing is good enough. A mate isn't meeting up with your expectations. You can be real down on yourself about not living up to a high standard. It's our dual self split that the ego loves to use to pit against ourselves or self sabotage. It's really easy to believe what we hear in our minds.

You actually can have power over that. Affirmations may be of good use when used properly. Being mentally conscious of positive aspects of ourselves can be helpful reinforcement with practice. Accepting imperfections, letting go a little, trusting.

With this New Moon, I need to start to paying attention, THINK, analyze what is no longer for my highest, best self. In what ways can I actually be DOING something to improve upon myself. Sometimes this can be by the doing process of deduction or subtraction. 

When I’m recording a song, we throw every idea at it, record everything we can come up with as ideas that can fit. Then, we assess, we see what we have and remove anything that isn’t serving the song at its best. The process of deduction creates space and breath.

The Bonsai is meticulously perfected, pruned, removing leaves and stems that continuously, daily, over time, these small nurturing subtractions and bending efforts create little living pieces of beauty and art that we marvel at.

Maybe there's a bad habit we can cut out to make way for a new daily healthy habit. New routines and habits take discipline, dedication and time to integrate into natural ways of being.

There are ways to act in your ideals. Ideals are a Pisces theme. Doing and being busy are Virgo themes. Act and do AS your ideal as your integrity self, as the person you wish to be, doing the things that ideal you would do, acting as THAT. Yet, be compassionate with yourself when you fall short, or make a mistake and fall off course for a second. Take detailed daily responsibility for yourself like nurturing that Bonsai.

This is a New Moon so it’s a starting point. Start to “edit” yourself. Make space, remove, clear out. YOU are in charge of that. Decondition from what you society expects from you, or what you where told to live up to, or was told what was best for you.

Do things that are healthy for you, release what’s not. There is a start of a preparation for what’s next in life. You don’t need to be completely ready for the next chapter, but work on yourself now for forward movement. You can feel like you really need to finish something up an take care of the paperwork and all the details for that to happen. Practice and hone your useful skills. When preparation meets opportunity, you can catch that wind and take off like a kite.

There is certainly a bigger inner transformation in progress. Transformation can be painful. If you are unaware of that or are not consciously putting attention on these matters, you will certainly see it in the world's events “outside” of you. Inner personal work and change affects outer reality and being.
