This weekend, we’re experiencing a solar eclipse in Virgo, which brings to light the more challenging aspects of this Zodiac sign.

Virgo Solar Power 2025
A solar eclipse happens when the sun, moon, and earth align, allowing the moon to cast a shadow that obscures the sun to varying degrees.
Those situated in New Zealand, parts of Australia, various Pacific islands, and some locations in Antarctica will have the opportunity to witness this solar eclipse, while viewers in North America won’t have the same luck.
“Typically, solar eclipses are seen as carrying negative energy,” shares an astrologer, pointing out that this event occurs at 29 degrees in Virgo.
“This 29-degree mark is considered uncomfortable and implies a transition into the next constellation,” the astrologer adds.
Beyond this degree, the eclipse will oppose Saturn and Neptune, which are connected to Pisces. “For individuals, this could lead to significant changes—good or bad,” they explain.
Duration of the Solar Eclipse
The eclipse will start at 1:29 pm and hit its peak at 3:41 pm, with sunlight returning fully by 5:53 pm.
Moon Phase During the Solar Eclipse
Throughout the solar eclipse, the moon will be in its new phase, meaning it’s completely dark.
Astrological Insights on the September 2025 Eclipse
Astrologer Babs Chong notes that Virgo embodies the notion of striving for perfection, a theme heightened by this solar eclipse.
“This weekend’s eclipse isn’t exactly for the faint-hearted,” she cautions. “Virgo energy often pushes for advice on improvement or change—a strict form of tough love in the atmosphere of this eclipse.”
At its best, Virgo energy excels in multitasking, often critiquing and problem-solving in the process. However, it usually finds resolution in the end.
For those who feel burdened by past traumas and challenges, the Virgo eclipse may intensify those feelings, highlighting dysfunctions that can feel deeply personal. If you’re not ready to face such discomfort, you might want to avoid checking your horoscopes during this time.
Take deep breaths and consider reading not just your sun sign but also your rising signs.
“If you’re the kind who tends to procrastinate or leave things to the last minute, this eclipse might just serve as that nudge you need,” Chong warns. “Cutting corners or letting others take the lead could result in some unpleasant surprises.”
For Tauruses, the eclipse may bring up self-reflection about love and relationships. It might be a painful process, but it’s an opportunity to evaluate the company you keep. “You might find that after a rough period, you’re finally ready to move on,” she notes.
For Geminis, family dynamics might bring unexpected drama to light. Think of it as a rocky family dinner, where hidden issues come to the surface. While it may feel overwhelming now, there’s a chance to find humor in the aftermath.
Cancers might feel pressure to hold in emotions, but it’s a time for healing and sorting things out with close ones. “Let it out; emotions can be powerful,” Chong advises.
For Leos, this eclipse gives an opportunity to reassess their focus and goals, revealing tendencies towards self-centeredness that might need addressing.
Virgos, this is your moment—embrace it, even amidst the challenges that may arise.
Libras might find themselves overwhelmed by emotional turbulence, as past issues resurface. This eclipse serves as a catalyst for facing buried feelings.
Scorpios may discover that the perception others have of them isn’t as negative as they assume. It’s a moment for reflection and perhaps transformation.
Capricorns might feel that their careers require more effort than they anticipated. The eclipse acts as a reminder that winging it isn’t a reliable strategy. It’s time to step up and take notes from your experiences.
Lastly, for Aquarians, realizations may become clearer during this eclipse. It’s an opportunity to reflect on personal boundaries and how they’ve allowed others to impact them.
The eclipse acts as a chance for renewal and courage—it’s about recognizing where you stand and how to move forward from it.
