If Leo season provided the party, Virgo season provides the vitamins that revive us and get us back to business. The comedown is here: self-awareness switches back on, schedules fill, and reality demands our attention. Virgo asks the hard questions: Where do we need to refine, to improve, or heal? What good is self-love or creativity if we don’t take action? While we love to tease them for being nitpicky or uptight, Virgos are devoted to growth, focused, and adept at picking up on patterns. This month, we are all asked to move with the same precision: to clear what clutters, to let go of what distracts, and to strive for self-betterment. 

Despite our desire for order, September also ushers us into another insane eclipse season. Lunar eclipses pivot us out of situations we’ve been too afraid to leave. Solar eclipses arrive after, rushing in to reroute us onto paths we didn’t know we were meant to walk. Together, solar and lunar eclipses act like the universe’s demolition and renovation crew: one knocks down the walls, the other rebuilds the foundation.

The Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21 opens six months of new timelines. Changes occur, sometimes through new schedules, jobs, routines, or healing practices

This round of eclipses activates the Virgo Pisces axis, that tug-of-war between the body and spirit, the functional and the fantastical. Virgo wants clean lines, daily rituals, and something you can actually hold onto. Pisces laughs, pours another glass, and has you surrender the whole plan to a higher power. With Saturn crawling back into Pisces on the 1st, these eclipses insist we listen to our intuition. The psychic downloads come in loud, and ignoring them isn’t an option.

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 7th blurs boundaries and heightens emotions, sending intuitive messages through dreams, déjà vu, and those sudden gut feelings you can’t ignore. Relationships may dissolve, accelerate, or shapeshift entirely. This eclipse doesn’t care about your spreadsheets or your five-year plan. It cares about alignment, necessary endings, and the kind of psychic truth that refuses to stay hidden. With Venus still in Leo, our heart space is amplified, desires grow louder, egos grow tender, and revelations about who and what we truly love rise to the surface. 

Two weeks later, the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21 opens six months of new timelines. Changes occur, sometimes through new schedules, jobs, routines, or healing practices. Where the Pisces Lunar Eclipse flooded us with intuitive information, this one calls for pragmatic action. The invitation now is to tend to the body while honouring the soul, to balance structure with flow, to let practicality and intuition move hand in hand. Libra season begins the next day, shifting our focus from serious to social. This marks a lighter mood, as we enter the season for flirting, mingling, and remembering that connection is its own kind of medicine.
