For the Solar Eclipse at 29º of Virgo, read your sign as well as the house for where 29º of Virgo falls in your chart:
Aries
(6th House) I was speaking to my Aries friend this morning about the frustration of people putting things away in the ‘wrong’ places, or without any apparent logical rhyme and reason. But it can also be true, that at times those sorts of things don’t really matter when there is so much else going on. There are times when you just need to let the little things go: how to stack the dishes, leaving dishes in the sink, refrigerated items all will nilly, piles of stuff everywhere. And within that context are also lessons about control. When the world seems so frustratingly uncontrollable, we find ourselves diving deep into the little things. However, this month we have been asked to do the opposite. To let all the stuff go, the big and the little things, trusting that there is some sort of higher purpose or plan to all this, even if it doesn’t look like it. It also gets back to recognizing what truly matters in the end. And sometimes we need a reset in our routines, a reconfiguration of our plans and an update for our schedule. On Monday, your ruling planet Mars enters Scorpio and makes a square to Pluto on Wednesday reminding us that there are some powerful forces afoot here. Which are also doubling down on the really life-changing important things in our lives. If you are at the end of your tether, and all of your energy is being leached from you, pay attention. Don’t ignore it. There are times in our lives when we simply don’t have any choice but to stop and just let go. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your work, your job, Co-workers, the Work environment, Health, Health Providers, those things that Support your Health and Well-being or the health and well-being of others; Diet, Routines, and personal Regimens
Taurus
(5th House) The Solar Eclipse on Sunday is at the very end of Virgo, hitching a ride to the last New Moon in the very first degree in August. Solar Eclipses are ultimately about New Beginnings. But often those new beginnings, especially with the South Node as this one is, are interlaced with significant endings that require a certain amount of adjustment. Your hopes for the future are shifting, as you find certain chapters coming to closure. You are going to have to embrace that future, realizing that you had done your best, and you are going to have to trust that that will be enough to launch you into the next phase of your life. And this is so even as the Solar Eclipse is shining a light on all those things that you have created and/or lost with your heart and soul. On Friday, your ruling planet Venus also enters Virgo where she struggles to find beauty in imperfection, and to find gratitude in the small things of our lives. With a square to Uranus, if anything it adds to the unpredictability and changeability of our lives in this eclipse season. Rather than focusing on what could have been, or what you should have done, you are being asked to shift your attention to the possibilities that are getting ready to bloom. Know that where you will be taken will be that much more beautiful and meaningful, because of how it will be invested with the tears of your once cherished accomplishments and love stories. Take those stories, and the wisdom gained from previous achievements and allow these to invest your hopes for a better future. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Children, what it means to Love and be Loved and Admired, Romance, Sporting events, being free to more fully Express Yourself, Embracing what is Special and Unique about yourself.
Gemini
(4th House) When the eclipses fall in Pisces and Virgo, as this month’s eclipses are, some sort of shift could be taking place between your outer role, and within your personal life, home and family. And in order for that to happen, you were being, or are being asked to release some things, people or circumstances in your personal life, in order to be able to have the life that is waiting for you on the other side. Some Gemini’s may even feel a shift in the home, where either you, or someone else is parting. These are the sort of shifts that can change the whole family narrative and dynamic. And as a result of any changes being made, you could even find yourself re-thinking where you are living, or who you are living with. With South Node Eclipses such as this one, there could even be a sense of nostalgia for what once was, and what once seemed so comfortable and familiar. Eclipses can serve as turning points in our lives where endings and beginnings can merge. They can leave us scratching our heads wondering what went wrong. But they can also thrust us out of the nest and comfort of the past in order to open up better opportunities in the future. Like mystical guides, ultimately the Fates are conspiring to bring you where you need to be in order to fulfill your destiny. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Home, Family, Property, One of your Parents, Family members, Early Childhood Memories, the Ancestors, your Homeland, your Supportive Community, and the Final End of a Matter.
Cancer
(3rd House) What you hear, what you learn, and what you see can completely transform your mind and your perspective when there is a Solar Eclipse in Virgo such as the Eclipse on Sunday is. Perhaps something you read, or the way you were reading things, or something you are studying, makes you feel as if you weren’t necessarily seeing things the way you thought they were. And as a result this can make you feel as if your whole perspective is shifting. Or that you just don’t have enough information. Things that you previously took for granted, or what once seemed so familiar could also be changing: the neighborhood, the world you once knew so well. Like a vacant lot those postcards from the past leave a void in your heart. Perhaps it was those everyday connections within your community, or people in your everyday life that once meant so much, and are no more. At these times it can remind us to better appreciate and support those things in our everyday lives that we often take for granted: the small independent shops, the struggling neighbor, the community garden, the connections we make with each other on a daily basis. But it can also be a reminder of the impermanent nature of life, where endings eventually give way to new beginnings. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your neighbors and neighborhood and the area in which you live; your car, vehicle or mode of transportation, your daily commute, Siblings, Old Classmates, the News, and what you are learning, observing and hearing.
Leo
(2nd House) Leo’s often like their luxuries, and will often identify with a certain style, or cherished object, something that perfectly measures their value and worth. Even the most spartan of Leo’s will have certain valued items. All this is okay. But with the Solar Eclipse in Virgo this Sunday, in some way you are being asked to examine what you are spending your valuable time, money and resources on, and why. In fact, you may be wondering what you might want to let go of. And it’s not necessarily the stuff, or fulfilling the cravings, or having that beautiful antique vase that will fill any empty spaces in your life right now. It’s more about why you need those things, and what they represent for you. Which gets back to why you even need these to define your worth. It’s also about faith. Faith that you have enough already. And faith that you are enough: Talented enough, Smart enough, Educated enough, Skillful enough. In some ways the Fates have been trying to show you how well you are valued, even when you don’t necessarily believe it yourself, nor have anything to show for it. No amount of spending or feeding your cravings will fix that. Listen to your depleting wallet. Make the distinction between what you need and what you crave. Then see what you can do to further cultivate the sort of confidence in yourself, and what you do, that will enforce that idea of being enough. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Finances, Possessions, Investments, Sustainability, Self-worth, Self-esteem, your true Priorities, and Survival.
Virgo
(1st House) There is a Solar Eclipse on Sunday, September 21st at 29º of Virgo that will most effect those Virgos born at the very end of the sign between September 18th and the 21st or have the last degrees of the sign rising. But all Virgos will be aware of this eclipse which is also the 2nd New Moon in Virgo this year. Like the New Moon on August 22nd-23rd, the Solar Eclipse is about new beginnings. This one is predicated on the idea that certain things will need to end or be released in order for that new beginning to occur. It is not unusual for people to feel eclipsed (drained or exhausted) when this type of eclipse occurs in your sign. The Sun, our vital life force, is literally being shut off and blocked. And then just as suddenly it comes back on. Like a reboot, these Solar Eclipses can feel like a time of renewal, and can serve as something of a turning point in our lives. That can include making some significant changes in the ways that you decide to approach things. Which may also mean letting go of some old habits, or narratives that have been holding you back and preventing you from moving forward. Eclipses in your own sign are opportunities for growth, and opportunities for bringing you more in alignment with your true destiny. You might even want to ask yourself, what is it that you are holding on to so dearly, even though you know it is holding you back from living your own best life? These eclipses are an intensive, focused on self-improvement, and self-renewal. And once you take that first step forward, there will be no turning back. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your Self, your Body, your Appearance, your Health, your Environment, Self-improvement, and Personal Self-development.
Libra
(12th House) The Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sunday is suggesting that in order to make a beginning, you are needing to start by first making a new ending. This could just be due to the natural order of things… the right time, the conclusion of a matter. But it could also be about releasing certain people, things and habits that are no longer serving your best interests, and may even be standing in the way of your own growth and progress. This could include anything or anyone that just makes you feel totally drained or exhausted, but which you hold on to out of duty or familiarity, because that’s the way it’s always been. In some way you are being asked to clear out the old cobwebs, clean off the shelves of a past that is only cluttering up your mind and space. Anything that instead of inspiring or sustaining you is merely diminishing you (physically, mentally or spiritually), needs to be questioned. This is important. For beneath all that stuff, all those remnants from the past, you are also going to find a box that had been neglected. This is that box that had been stuffed in the corner, filled with the dreams and talents of a life well lived. Like a precious gift, dare to open it without regret, and take from it what you will. For this is the treasure that had been lying dormant beneath all that other stuff. It is just a matter of clearing out the others stuff in order to reclaim the treasure that had been forgotten. Expect matters to come to the forefront with this eclipse concerning: The Past, Secrets, the Forgotten, Endings, Partings, Releasing and Letting Go, Former Lives, Dreams and your subconscious Drives.
Scorpio
(11th House) The Solar Eclipse on Sunday is trying to show you the ways that you have outlived the expectations and hopes of your previous dreams. And what might have been really important to you in the past, may no longer be as relevant, or important as it once was. In some way you are needing to pave the way for even better, perhaps more appropriate aspirations and dreams that are more suited for the person you are now and are becoming. As a result you might see yourself parting ways with old goals or previous dreams and aspirations. Perhaps even drifting away from some old associations. Even if you are not so sure where you will land in the end, there is still this inner knowing that you have some how outgrown your previous life, and that something will be waiting for you on the other side. Eclipses can close doors. They can also open new ones that are more in keeping with where you are now. But in order to walk through the door that is opening in front of you, you first have to stop looking so longingly at the door that has closed behind you. And if you don’t do so willingly, things may just conspire to do it for you. On Monday, your ruling planet Mars enters Scorpio, and will then make a square to your modern ruling planet Pluto doubling down on the idea of transformative, and perhaps even extreme life changes, after which your life will never be quite the same again. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Friendships, People or groups you are connected to, Shared ideals, Networks, Social Media, Hopes and Aspirations for the future.
Sagittarius
(10th House) In the years that the eclipses fall in Virgo and Pisces as they have this month, you might find that there are or will be significant changes in your goals, status or reputation. Great beginnings, as well as endings can occur when the eclipses spin their webs and weave our destinies. But eclipses can also be so unpredictable! Therefore be willing to roll with this series of eclipses where both endings and beginnings seem to merge. This can include new beginnings that are predicated on some sort of ending. Know that we can’t always see the bigger picture. We don’t necessarily know what the Fates have in store for us. As a result, what may seem like a detour, or even a setback, might actually be just the thing to open the way for you to fulfill some greater purpose in the long run. It could even feel like your are having to pass through some sort of initiation or gateway, where there is a process here that you may not fully understand but are still compelled to go through. And all we can do is to walk through the door that the eclipses are opening, and see what is waiting for you on the other side. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Your personal or public Status, One or more Role that you are or have been known for, Your Reputation, Career, Goals, Destiny, Your Boss, Authorities, the place you Work For, One of your Parents
Capricorn
(9th House) The ultimate truth is not necessarily found in some mystical and foreign land, or in a cave tucked into the side of a mountain. Often the truth can be found closer to home, in the more mundane quarters of our lives. Perhaps it is much more humble than even that. The Solar Eclipse on Sunday could find many a Capricorn scratching their heads as previous assumptions, beliefs and ideas are now being questioned. Solar Eclipses are about new beginnings, but when accompanied by the South Node, as this one is, those new beginnings are predicated on the willingness to change your mind, and even some of your beliefs. Any assumptions that are getting in the way of your evolutionary growth will be challenged in the months that the eclipses fall in this department of your chart. And you may even have to be content with not having all the answers. When we are ready to humbly listen, and be open to learning, that’s when true knowledge and understanding can be achieved. And never is this more possible than when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in such perfect alignment as they are with the Solar Eclipse in Virgo this week. You can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Religious, political or other beliefs, Travel, Journeys, Education, Certifications, Courts of Law, Legal Decisions, relatives and places that are overseas or far away.
Aquarius
(8th House) One thing that can become evident when the eclipses fall in this area of your natal chart, as the Eclipse on Sunday is, is a deeper awareness of the karmic cycles of destiny. Particularly those cycles that bring significant changes to your life. Endings and beginnings, the past and the future intertwine within the ambit of the eclipses, and you can almost feel the workings of the Fates sitting at the foot of the tree of destiny weaving their tapestries. It would not be unusual for there to be extraordinary turns in your lives when the eclipses fall in Virgo. There can be some trepidation, as you stand here, wondering what the consequences will be, what is standing on the other side. The trepidation comes from realizing that this could indeed be a time of transition, moving from one place to the next. But at what expense? And what expectations? Is there an impending ending or big change that feels a bit overwhelming? Ultimately your self-worth and esteem are being nurtured under the influence of these eclipses, allowing you to flourish in ways that perhaps you had not expected. But that new-found self-worth would not be possible without addressing whatever it is, or was, that had caused this sacred cycle of giving and receiving to become imbalanced in the first place, and having the humility to just let that go. Expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Life, Death, Rebirth, Renewal, Receiving, Marketing, Shared resources, Debts, Loans, Taxes, investments, inheritances, Wills, sexuality, surgery, rehabilitation, old contracts, Habits, Cravings and Attachments.
Pisces
(7th House) It is not unusual when the eclipses fall in Pisces and Virgo, as the eclipses have this month, that there will be significant events concerning your relationships with others. Great beginnings and endings in relationships could even occur. It could even feel as if the Fates are colluding to bring some people together while parting others. And they do so in order to fulfill our destinies. The Virgo Solar Eclipse on Sunday could represent a significant change in a relationship, or a change in your partner’s life or status that also indirectly affects you. It could even feel as if the ‘time is well nigh due’. If there is some sort of ending that is occurring, know that it is also opening up opportunities for personal growth and a new way of being. One thing that is likely, is that because of the shifts and changes in your important relationships, you may never quite see things the same way again. You are growing and evolving as a result of these important interactions. And perhaps even in ways that you had not previously imagined. Know that with the Eclipse on Sunday, you can expect matters to come to the forefront concerning: Partners, Competitors, Close friends, counselors, Advisors, Mentors, Clients, your Audience and the Outside World. And that these can bring significant changes in your own life as a result.
