Solar Eclipse: Return to Source
The Astro-Spiritual Significance of the Virgo Solar Eclipse
September 21st, 2025 heralds a unique celestial event: a new moon solar eclipse at the anaretic (29th) degree of Virgo. As highlighted in the latest episode of the Everything Is Energy Podcast, this event is not only astrologically rare but also energetically potent. Solar eclipses are powerful portals for transformation, always occurring during a new moon—when the sun and moon are conjunct, signaling fresh beginnings and gateways for manifestation.
What makes this eclipse exceptionally significant is its position at the 29th degree of Virgo—a point of culmination, sometimes called a “critical degree.” While the zero degree (where the previous New Moon in Virgo occurred four weeks prior) is about newness and pure potentiality, the 29th degree is about the fullness of experience, the culmination of Virgo’s essence.
Virgo: Energetic Hygiene as a Theme
Virgo, as mutable earth, is ruled by Mercury and is associated with meticulousness, self-improvement, and attending to the nitty-gritty details of life. At this time of “being in the middle” of great planetary shifts, Virgo energy invites us to pause, reflect, and be intentional with both our individual and collective energies.
Lisa calls attention to “energetic hygiene”—a theme woven throughout the celestial alignments. This is more than physical health; it’s an invitation to examine our energetic output, subconscious habits, and the moment-to-moment ways we invest our life force. The underlying message: We are the creators of our realities, and it’s time to up-level our conscious power as agents of change.
World Access Points and Multi-Dimensional Alignments
This eclipse is also a “world access point,” a configuration where the last degree of a mutable sign (like Virgo) brings collective themes to the forefront, amplifying global awareness and energetic presence.
Astrologically, the eclipse chart is further energized by a grand trine, a kite, and—most strikingly—three yods, or “fingers of fate.” These rare dynamics are seldom seen, signaling a perfect storm of transformative energies. Mars, at 29° Libra (another critical degree), is central to these configurations, highlighting deep issues of justice, harmony, and the necessary release of what no longer serves.
Mars, Transformation, and The Invitation for Deliberate Action
Mars’s placement in the 29th degree of Libra signals matters coming to a head around themes of justice and authentic relating. Its powerful aspects to Pluto, Jupiter, and the outer planets illuminate obstacles to harmony, balance, and truth—both individually and within the collective. Mars’s role in multiple yods challenges us to take purposeful, deliberate action: not impulsive, but informed and refined, especially with Venus in Virgo offering a counterbalance of heartfelt discernment and loving attention to detail.
A reminder also that eclipses are not just day-of events; their energetic themes may have been felt a month prior, and will reverberate for months to come.
Release, Embodiment, and Return to Source
At its core, this eclipse, conjunct the south node, is about karmic release—a reboot point for letting go of ancestral patterns, outdated beliefs, and past attachments. Solar eclipses shine a light on the path ahead, delivering downloads and insights that help us transition from the old to the new.
Living with Cosmic Awareness
In my own experience, astrology provides a framework for understanding life’s rhythms, affirming that everything is unfolding in divine timing. The invitation is clear: pay attention to your energetic inputs and outputs, release what holds you back, and trust that as you return to Source—however you define it—you’re supported, nourished, and guided.
Bright blessings on your eclipse journey. Remember: you are light, you are love, you are Source incarnate—here, now, on purpose. - Lisa Marie :)
