Two weeks ago, we opened this eclipse season with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces at the North Node—a dreamy, emotional surge toward soul-aligned futures.

Today, we close the portal with the Solar Eclipse in Virgo at the South Node—a sober, clarifying release of what no longer serves. If Pisces whispered dreams, Virgo now demands discernment.

Let's dive right in and start breaking down each of the different aspects of this Solar Eclipse at the Anaretic Degree of Virgo and the South Node…

A solar eclipse occurs during the New Moon phase, when the Moon slides between the Earth and Sun, momentarily obscuring sunlight.

Unlike a typical New Moon, which invites gentle intention-setting, a solar eclipse is a supercharged version—one that compels action, often through endings from which there is no return.

Expect fated events, unexpected shifts, and identity recalibrations. Eclipses are cosmic course-correctors, realigning us with paths we may not have chosen, but were always meant to walk.

Eclipses at the North Node (like the Pisces one two weeks ago) are about destiny, growth, and unfamiliar expansion. They pull us toward new territory, often with urgency and excitement.

At the South Node (like today’s), eclipses are about release, reckoning, and karmic closure. These eclipses are about cutting ties with the past—habits, roles, identities that used to feel like home but now feel like a trap.

They’re not about growth through expansion; they’re about growth through subtraction. You’re not adding something new—you’re finally letting go of what’s been dragging you. Expect closure, detachment, and a few uncomfortable truths. This isn’t a glow-up. It’s a clean break.

The 29th degree is the final, critical point of any zodiac sign—loaded with urgency, karmic pressure, and the sense that something's gotta go or something's gotta give. In Virgo, this degree turns up the volume on themes like perfectionism versus surrender, control versus trust, and service versus self-erasure. It’s a breaking point disguised as a turning point.

This eclipse asks you to get brutally honest: What systems, habits, or roles have you outgrown? What needs to be released so you can step into a more integrated, less performative version of yourself?

​This eclipse is here to call out all the nonsense. It’s in opposition to both Saturn and Neptune, creating a tension between your wildest dreams and your daily duties, your fantasies and the cold, hard facts. You can't bypass this one; it demands clarity, closure, and grounded action.

At the end of the day, an eclipse is a cosmic fast-forward button. You may not understand the changes happening now, but they're happening for your highest good. So, take a deep breath, let go of the reins, and trust that you're being guided to exactly where you need to be.
