Eclipse Season 2025: Pisces and Virgo Take the Stage

Eclipse season is always a little wild. The cosmos grabs you by the shoulders and says, this way, babe. Things fall away, things arrive, and everything shifts. If you’ve felt on edge since 2023, that’s because the eclipses have been blasting through Aries and Libra, pulling focus to independence, relationships, self versus other. But 2025 flips the script.

We’re moving into Pisces and Virgo territory. Soft water meets sharp earth. Dreams meet deadlines. Healing meets reality. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s deeply clarifying.

Astronomically, eclipse seasons happen twice a year when the sun, moon, and Earth line up just right. Each season lasts around 35 days, and eclipses tend to occur in pairs - one lunar, one solar - spaced about two weeks apart.

• Lunar eclipse = endings. Old cycles close, emotions climax, the past feels loud.

• Solar eclipse = beginnings. New paths open, fresh chapters unfold, the future cracks wide.

Usually the lunar eclipse arrives first, clearing the slate, followed by the solar eclipse, which sets the stage for what comes next. Together, they act like a cosmic reset button.

From Aries–Libra to Pisces–Virgo

Since April 2023, the eclipses have been slowly peeling back the layers of the Aries–Libra axis, activating one of the most personal and confronting storylines in the zodiac: the tension between self and other, independence and connection, assertion and compromise, boundaries and attachment.

This axis rules everything from how we show up in our own energy, to how we relate to the people we claim to love — and over the last year and a half, you’ve likely felt this polarity showing up in ways that were impossible to ignore.

Whether it was breakups, breakthroughs, calling people back in, cutting people out, or realising that your deepest wounds around partnership were actually rooted in how you relate to yourself — this eclipse cycle has been doing sacred, sometimes painful, always necessary surgery on your identity and the people you share your world with.

Aries energy demanded that you choose yourself first, stand in your fire, reclaim your independence, and say no to anything or anyone that asked you to shrink to fit their comfort zone — no matter how much love, loyalty, or history was wrapped up in that dynamic. It was about finally realising that you are not here to be someone else’s emotional crutch, peacekeeper, or sidekick in their story — especially if you’ve spent years self-abandoning just to stay chosen.

But at the same time, Libra whispered, sometimes too gently to hear over the noise, that connection is sacred too, that love is a mirror not a chain, that we are not meant to walk this world alone, and that partnership — when it's conscious — can become the greatest catalyst for growth.

This back-and-forth has been activating everything from your relationship habits to your inner child patterns, forcing you to confront the ways you've either clung too tightly or detached too fast, given too much or refused to give at all, disappeared into the needs of others or built walls so high that no one could reach you.

It’s been messy and clarifying, equal parts main character energy and supporting cast grief — one moment you’re owning your light, walking away from what no longer serves, and the next you’re spiralling over someone’s silence, wondering if you were too much or not enough, again.

But all of it has been for something. You were being shaped into someone who can love without disappearing. Someone who can receive love without losing your edge. Someone who can exist in healthy, beautiful, reciprocal relationship without ever handing over your power.

That’s the real work of the Aries–Libra axis. Learning how to lead and still listen. How to protect your peace and still stay open. How to love from your fullness, not your wounds.

And if it’s felt raw, emotional, or like everything you once believed about love, worth, and connection is being rewritten — that’s because it is.

The old stories had to be burned to make space for the new ones. And now you’re not just showing up for others — you’re showing up for yourself, fully and unapologetically, and that is what changes everything.

But now? The spotlight shifts. The eclipses are entering a brand new energetic axis: Pisces and Virgo. And this one hits different. Less fire, more feeling. Less selfies, more soul.

Pisces is boundaryless. It’s the final sign of the zodiac, the place where identity dissolves and the ego starts to fade, where every story you've told about who you are gets slowly washed away in waves of feeling, intuition, and memory. Pisces doesn’t speak in straight lines or timelines. It speaks in symbols and sensations. It rules your dreams, your psychic senses, your ability to feel something before it happens and trust it anyway.

This is the sign of empathy, of surrender, of deep inner knowing that doesn’t need proof to be real. It’s where you go when life feels too sharp and your nervous system needs to float in something softer. Pisces doesn’t care if your inbox is at zero or if you’re smashing your KPIs. It wants you to cry at the full moon, listen to your body, pray into your journal, feel your ancestors walking with you, and remember that there is more to life than what you can see.

Pisces is the healer, the dreamer, the poet, the mystic. It opens you. It undoes you. It reminds you that feeling is a superpower. It’s where you release the timeline, the shame, the expectations, and finally soften into something greater than yourself.

But Virgo, babe, Virgo is not here to drift. Virgo is the sacred organiser. The editor. The high priestess of precision and purpose. Where Pisces swims into the ethers, Virgo rolls up her sleeves and makes a spreadsheet. This is the sign that rules your rituals, your routines, your gut-brain connection, your calendar, your checklists, your clean water, your sleep hygiene, your boundaries. She doesn’t just want you to heal — she wants to know how you’re doing it. And if it’s sustainable.

Ruled by Mercury, Virgo collects the downloads Pisces delivers, sorts through the chaos, and asks the real questions: Can this idea support your nervous system? Can this dream become a plan? Can this feeling become something tangible, something trackable, something that actually helps you grow?

Virgo says: bring your visions down to Earth. Make them make sense. Make them matter. Turn your breakdown into a ritual nd turn your healing into a lifestyle. It’s not about perfection — it’s about integration.

So while Pisces invites you to dissolve, to grieve, to merge with the divine, Virgo calls you back into your body, your breath, your schedule, your choices. One sign wants you to float. The other wants you to function. And when these two signs meet in eclipse season, they ask you to do both — to honour your emotions and your structure, to feel and to act, to surrender what’s no longer aligned and build something that actually supports your soul.

That’s the work. That’s the medicine. Feel it all. Then make it real. So what happens when these two take the eclipse stage?

You’re being called to heal the dream and then make it real. To stop escaping into fantasy and start structuring your future. To stop micromanaging everything and start listening to the wisdom coming through your body.

Pisces shows you what your soul came here to feel. Virgo shows you how to build a life that supports it. That’s the story from now through 2027. So if your old identity is crumbling and your daily rituals feel like they suddenly don’t fit - good. That’s exactly the point.

September 7–8: Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

This one hits like a slow, cinematic goodbye. The kind where you don’t even realise you’re letting go until you wake up the next morning with a different kind of silence in your chest. Pisces is the sign of endings, release, surrender. It rules your dreams, your intuition, your subconscious. When the eclipse lands here, it doesn’t rip the rug out - it dissolves the floor you were standing on.

You might feel tender. You might feel like sobbing for no reason. You might find yourself staring out the window and thinking about someone you haven’t spoken to in years. That’s the Pisces eclipse in action - pulling you into your feels and flushing out emotional gunk you didn’t even know you were still carrying.

What might fall away:

• Dreams that were actually distractions
  The fantasy life you kept clinging to? The one you never fully pursued but always used as an escape route from reality? It's melting. This eclipse will show you what’s a divine calling and what’s just escapism in a glittery disguise.

• Relationships built on fantasy
  That person you romanticised to death, even though you never really knew them? The one who existed more in your imagination than your inbox? The rose-coloured glasses are coming off. The spell is breaking.

• Versions of yourself you were performing to be loved
  The good girl. The cool girl. The unbothered girl. The selfless healer who always made herself smaller to make others comfortable. Pisces will ask: who are you really, when no one else is watching?

This eclipse is not about taking action. It’s about letting go. Quietly, completely, unapologetically. Float downstream. Trust what dissolves. Trust what remains.

September 21: Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo

After the tears, the to-do list. The Pisces eclipse cracks you open, and Virgo arrives with a clipboard. If Pisces is the collapse, Virgo is the clean-up crew. This solar eclipse doesn’t care how emotionally enlightened you feel - it wants to know if your habits match your healing.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, so it’s all about systems, structure, and truth that makes sense. It brings clarity like a glass of cold water after a messy night. This eclipse isn’t about making your life prettier. It’s about making it work.

This is the time to:

• Start new habits (ones that actually work for you)
  Not what TikTok told you. Not what your best friend swears by. You. What supports your energy, your body, your purpose? Choose that. And then repeat it.

• Clean your calendar
  Every “should” you’ve scheduled? Every person you keep saying yes to out of guilt? Virgo says no more. This eclipse invites sacred boundaries. Less people-pleasing, more peace.

• Launch a project, course, or wellness upgrade
  Been waiting for the green light? This is it. Virgo favours practical magic. Bring your vision down to earth. Outline it. Schedule it. Ship it.

• Commit to living in alignment, not just dreaming about it
  This is the difference between hoping your life will feel better one day, and building a life that actually does. Virgo will show you exactly where you're out of integrity—and how to fix it.

Remember: Virgo doesn’t care if your aura is pink if your gut is inflamed and your desktop has 147 untitled files. It wants congruence. It wants embodiment. You said you wanted to be your highest self? Cool. Now prove it.

This eclipse is the reset. The ritual. The divine strategy.
Clean your house. Clean your mind. Choose peace as a daily practice. That’s Virgo’s version of magic.
