STAR NOTES 🌟 September 21, 2025
Dear Star Tribe, Bonjour!
Big love to everyone. How are you navigating these profoundly stirring body/mind/heart/soul eclipse energies? I am feeling them strongly! Thank you for joining me. May these messages inspire you and enrich your understanding of the zeitgeist flowing into the second half of 2025. This Solar Eclipse New Moon in Virgo is exact on September 21, at 3:54 pm EDT. Let’s honor the practical nature of Virgo and dive into the messages right away.
This series of eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces axis is teaching us how reality is multidimensional, fluid, and changeable. We are in a phase of increased personal and collective change. Virgo, in coherence with Pisces, reminds us to continually flow and dance between our physical earthy self and our soul self. I felt an impulse to play some gentle healing music and could feel my body bend and move more easily while writing this post. Anyone else? Just curious. I love to hear from you!
This New Moon Solar Eclipse is particularly potent and meaningful because it happens at 29° of Virgo, the final, karmic, crisis degree of the zodiac. Many planets are dancing between the last degrees and the first degrees of signs throughout the year. The world is shifting at light speed, with many endings and many new beginnings happening everywhere as we flow strongly into the new energies of late 2025 and early 2026.
On September 22, the Sun moves into Libra and initiates the Fall Equinox. This is a world axis point and cosmic rebalancing portal. The signs that usher in equinoxes and solstices (Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn) initiate the change of the seasons, and are called Cardinal signs. They hold tremendous initiatory power to inspire and pull us closer to our greatest potentials — the true calling of our heart’s desires. The equinox is like striking a tuning fork that reverberates at a specific frequency for 3 months, until the next solstice point.
This New Moon eclipse is conjunct the South Node of the Moon, symbol of our personal and collective past. Our karmic cycles have ripened and are ready for deep healing, cleansing, shedding, releasing, and clearing of energies that no longer serve us, that are false, or simply not ours. It is time to let go with radical forgiveness, honor, and gratitude for the lessons learned. It can feel relentless and overwhelming in certain moments, and also beautifully healing in others.
With 2 New Moons in Virgo in a row, the world is being asked to understand and embody the full measure of Virgo’s purpose, power, and healing magic in order to best navigate the transition from the first half to the second half of 2025.
The Libra Equinox marks this rebalancing quite significantly. We are ready for a powerful RESET to recalibrate and reenergize all our energy systems as we flow into the new frequencies of New Earth consciousness. As we release the past, we also need to welcome the infinite potentialities of the future in the now.
Healthy, embodied Virgo is highly intelligent — a natural healer and Earth Priestess with a beautiful, pure heart. If health issues are arising now, it means the best healing energies are ready to come in and support us. Let’s use every resource available to assist us on the healing journey.
This New Moon can inspire a closer relationship with our body.
“Now it is time to reclaim your body as the sacred vehicle it is. Take time to thank it, to nurture it, to appreciate it, and to wonder at all that it does as it continuously serves you in the most miraculous ways. Celebrate your spirituality and your humanity, and acknowledge and honor both as equally essential and sacred in this incredible and unprecedented time on your planet.” ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
Virgo teaches discernment as we learn to separate the wheat from the chaff at harvest season. What foods fuel my body in the best ways? What thoughts, mantras, or prayers nourish my mind in the best ways? What brings me joy? What doesn’t? Keep track of this useful information to support you in the second half of the astrological year.
Virgo also inspires us to embody our purest and most authentic service. Once we have discovered our true essence and creative spark, we can turn our uniqueness into something purposeful. By following and trusting our natural instincts, we can’t help but turn our talents into something that creates value in the world.
As a highly intelligent sign ruled by Mercury, god of communication, Virgo can help us instill strong mental focus throughout the day. Life truly is meditation in practice. This New Moon eclipse can inspire us to increase mindfulness and compassion in all that we do, creating new possibilities with every thought.
The Solar Eclipse in Virgo is tightly opposite Saturn, which can feel confining; yet this very tension can wake us up — reminding us that the walls we feel around us are often self-made. Saturn represents structures, systems, healthy limits, and boundaries that are meant to provide support, safety, and protection. This New Moon is like a profound realignment and recalibration of the structures that will support us now and in the near future. Solar Eclipses — and all New Moons — are times to press the RESET button and start fresh.
Ultimately, Saturn and Neptune — also closely opposite the New Moon — remind us of the universal oneness that connects everyone and everything all the time. As the planet of time and responsibility, Saturn reminds us that we are perfectly, exactly on time and on purpose.
Saturn asks us to remember to honor the spiritual dimension of life with greater appreciation for compassion, intuition, imagination, dreams, and the power of synchronicity to guide us just as much as logic and reason. We naturally flow and dance between our mind, our heart, and the intelligence in our gut and body. We receive messages in nature and clouds as much as on phones.
Jupiter is like a grace bomb in this eclipse as it forms a smooth, flowing aspect with our karmic past and evolutionary path forward — the South Node and the North Node, respectively. Jupiter reminds us that there are always plenty of people and activities available to support us — we just need to ask and communicate our needs. Others may also reach out to you for your unique skills. This is a great time to exchange services, food, or healing products.
Thank you for taking the time to read the full post! Take a moment to plant New Moon seeds of intention deep into the extra fertile earth of infinite potential.
