  • Virgo Solar Eclipse on 9.21.25

    The Virgo solar eclipse takes place on September 21, 2025 at 2:54 pm central when the transit Sun and Moon will both be at 29° Virgo conjunct the South Node. The eclipse taking place at 29° is a major feature, considering 29° is the anaretic degree. There is also a beautiful (out of sign) kite aspect pattern in the chart, along with some galactic activations. Suffice to say there is A LOT going on with this one.

    What follows are some possible themes of the Virgo solar eclipse that may come up for you as an individual (or for the collective). How this actually plays out for YOU personally depends on what this astroweather is doing to your personal astrology chart. Take into consideration the houses that it falls and any planets/angles/etc. that it aspects. If you would like for ME to read for you about this eclipse (or any kind of astrology reading!), that can be done by clicking this text. If you are more of a “watcher” than a “reader,” here is a video that I did on this same thaaaaang.

    Also! real quick (just basic info): 
    -Lunar Eclipses take place during Full Moons
    –Keywords for Full Moons: Illumination, Culmination, Release
    – Solar Eclipses take place during New Moons
    –Keywords for New Moons: Planting Seeds, Setting Intentions, New Beginnings
    -Eclipses tend to be wild & unpredictable. Expect the unexpected. 
    **This is a South Node Eclipse since the Moon is conjunct the South Node. This means that one probably has to “go back” in some capacity in order to move forward.

    What does the anaretic degree (29°) mean?
    You will read a whole bunch of different things about a planet at 29° of a sign, but I tend to think of this degree as both “tired” but can’t rest just yet (it still has shit to do). It’s kind of like this – you get home from a trip, and you have ALL of your bags to unpack and put away (let’s also say your house is a mess, too, to illustrate the point further). All you want to do is sit on the couch and relax, but you see all the stuff around the house that needs to be done to make the house more livable. THIS is a perfect illustration of 29° of a sign. ALL it wants to do is rest and relax, but it can’t rest and relax until it has finished everything that it needs to do.

    There is so much power and change that is possible under this eclipse with the (out of sign) kite between the eclipse, Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini, and Neptune in Aries/Saturn in Pisces as the tail. This means that all the things started under this eclipse need to ultimately serve the purpose (Virgo energy is service and purpose focused) of moving towards the future (with the transit North Node ALSO in Pisces), dissolving boundaries/structures that don’t need to exist….so that dream building can (eventually) occur. For a lot of you, what you put in place right now matters (even if nothing big feels like it happens).

    Under this eclipse I wouldn’t be too concerned about making plans that you are rigid about sticking with. That doesn’t mean that you don’t make ANY plans at all (you SHOULD), but they need to be adjustable. Having an outline is probably good enough. Focus may also be a thing – overactive focus or underactive focus. Try to focus on what DOES have your attention if you can (unless your focus is all over the place, my guess is that something WILL have your focus….and there is probably a reason for that).

    Some themes that may come up under the Virgo solar eclipse:

    The Past
    Because this is a South Node eclipse, there probably is a strong pull to the past in some capacity. Setting things “right” and/or “correct” that may not have been done “right” and/or “correct” to begin with seems like a possibility. Cleaning things up that need to be cleaned up (or, even, clearing up things that need to be cleared up). All of above are very Virgoan in nature. 
    **There might also be a sense of it being the “last time” that you can start something Virgo-like in nature due to the anaretic degree’s involvement with this eclipse. It doesn’t matter if it’s the actual last time you’re able to start something or not- that “last chance” feeling may exist regardless.

    Coming Down to Earth 
    Was anything illuminated for you under the lunar eclipse in Pisces? Anything that was released but maybe it’s sat in limbo-land for a week or so? Have you been trying to figure out what to do with what was released, or what to do with what was illuminated? The Virgo solar eclipse is the perfect time to DO something with anything that may have come up. Bringing these things that were illuminated or released down to earth to do something with them in real life seems like a great way to work with this eclipse energy.
    **What needs to come down to earth may or may not be entirely pleasant for you. Tedious and taxing are the words that come to mind should what needs to come down to earth not be pleasant (like, you might find it tedious or taxing or something like that). Because Virgo energy can also be anxious and nervous (and there is a little bit of this with the anaretic degree as well – knowing that it has shit to get done), there could be some anxiety and nervousness surrounding bringing whatever may need to come down to earth, down to earth. Should this exist, I think there is even MORE anxiety and nervousness if you chose NOT to translate whatever down to earth.

    The Little Things
    For some of y’all, the small things (the details) that happen now are actually BIG things. This may or may not be realized at the time of the eclipse (sometimes this kind of thing is best seen from a retrospective lens). Like, maybe under this solar eclipse you make some kind of small change to your daily life. This could be a habit that you decide to break, a ritual you decide to incorporate – there are several Virgo-esque possibilities afoot. You may not realize it until down the line that whatever (small) thing you do now impacts you in big ways down the line.

    Effort & Work (where and where not to put in that effort & work)
    Virgo energy is all about work and putting in effort. You might find that under this eclipse there are things that you decide that you want to put the work and effort into. Maybe they are things that you’ve wanted to do for a long time but never did before. Maybe it’s something that you used to put effort and work into “back in the day” and now you want to put that effort and work into again. Maybe it’s not even about putting in effort and work, but that you STOP putting in effort and work towards something that you don’t need to put effort and work into. Regardless of what it is, or what it looks like, I could see this sort of thing come up for some of y’all.

    Crisis Point Reached
    While I don’t mind this eclipse overall (I didn’t mind the Pisces lunar eclipse, either), some of y’all might reach some kind of “crisis point” (Virgo energy has a correlation with the notion of “crisis”). This may or may not be anything major (remember, Virgo energy DOES also deal with the details & the little things!), but there could be some kind of crisis (or mini-crisis) reached with this lunation. I almost get the sense that if there IS a crisis of some sort it probably has something to do with having to make a decision about something (and, maybe, not being sure what to do). I make that last comment because of Mars at 29° Libra (also an anaretic degree!) which means Mars will know it needs to do something but might not know WHAT to do….or even want to make a choice in the first place.
    **The Virgo solar eclipse features some galactic activations with the conjunction it makes to the Super Galactic Center at 2° Libra (and Mars at 29° Libra conjunct the Shapley Attractor at roughly 2° Scorpio). The eclipse’s conjunction to the SGC could make taking action more difficult (the SGC seems like a place where a person can sit on the fucking fence for too long); luckily I think the 29° Sun & Moon might be enough to get something to happen (it’s not going to be able to “relax” until something is done). Mars conjunct Shapley makes me think that inaction will attract situations that force a choice to be made or an action to be taken (so it’s probably better to take action on your own rather than be forced to take it).

    A little tiny bit of STORYTIME to illustrate this eclipse – A few days after the Virgo solar eclipse I will be going to the social security office to legally change my last name. I didn’t time it this way (swear I didn’t 🤣!), this was just the soonest appointment the local social security office could get me in for the name change (and it happens to be right after the eclipse). This might seem like a small thing (even tedious and/or mundane – fucking around at the social security office 😂), but it’s MASSIVE to me. My South Node at 0° Libra, Midheaven at 28° Virgo, and the asteroid “Adams” at 29° Virgo are all conjunct this eclipse. Because of the things in play in my own chart, it feels a little like this eclipse serves as the baton pass between the “old way” and the “new way”. This seems backed up further when I consider that the asteroid for Burck is conjunct Mercury in my chart (Mercury is the ruler of my Virgo MC). While I know what my name will be on all my legal documents, there has been a tiny bit of “crisis” as to what I am known as professionally (and I’ve been pouring over the details for the past few months). Since the start of my business, Adams has been my last name, and while I am not sorry to see it go I do know that it can throw people (and searches) off when name changes take place. So….it’s been a mental process for me, ironing out the details (which are still NOT all the way ironed out).
    **Funny enough (and what beautiful timing!) – As I was typing this post I saw that an interview I did a month ago JUST went live (I didn’t think it would be live so soon 🤣). In this interview I introduce myself with my new name.

  • Saturn conj Neptune in Aries part II

    Because of course I will show these babies off any chance I get 😻

    This year, in 2025, the world will see a bunch of changes in planetary energy (which translates to things feeling different Earth-side). One of the big collective transits that will take place is the conjunction between transit Saturn & Neptune in Aries. Not only does this NOT happen very often (roughly every 36 years), but BOTH of these planets will have just moved into Aries when this takes place (meaning there is a whole bunch of “new” with this one).

    Disclaimer: When looking at astroweather (transits), including transit Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries, you HAVE to take YOUR OWN ASTROLOGY CHART into consideration to know HOW a transit might play out personally for you. If you want some help with that, you can get a reading from me by clicking on this text.

    Let’s start this off with some dates and thaaaangs:
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune conjunct one another in Aries (but not exact…yet!) from May 25, 2025 through September 1, 2025
    -Transit Saturn & Neptune fuck each other (exactly!) in Aries on February 20, 2026
    -Neptune has an orbital period of 164-years. It spends roughly 13 years in a sign
    -Saturn has an orbital period of roughly 29 years. It spends 2.5 years in a sign
    -Last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Before that, this conjunction took place in 1953 in Libra.

    Over this past week I have had more thoughts come to me about transit Saturn conjunct transit Neptune in Aries (my first post on this topic can be found by clicking on this text). So lolololol without further ado, here they are:

    Lowered Expectations logo
    lolololololol 😂🤣 jk (kind of…)

    Expectations (Neptune territory) also come up when I think about Saturn and Neptune coming together. Specifically, I think of “lowered expectations” or “limited expectations” because of Saturn. Is this a bad thing? No. I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily to lower expectations…. especially considering how the world seems to be functioning now-a-days. Does this mean that you cease to have any expectations? No, it doesn’t. But, if we lower our expectations it is harder to be disappointed (and again, with the state of the world anymore, I don’t think that’s a bad thing). While I made mention in the first post about this subject that this conjunction can give the ability to dream build (and I do think that’s the case – I’m not totally negative here 🤣), I also think there is SOMETHING as well about lowering/limiting expectations (and this tying into the dream building). Like, if you lower/limit your expectations, it does allow a release for some of the pressure that might come along while actively building your dreams (whatever that might be). Aries energy can be “ass on fire” and “pressuring” (and Saturn can be “pressing,” lol) so the Neptunian release is very useful here.

    Authority/government subversion and weakness seems like another possible thing (along with the government/those in authority acting subversively themselves against some kind of leadership, along with the government/authority being weakened in some way). Authority and government are Saturnian expressions while subversion, weakening/weakness are Neptunian expressions, and leadership is Aries energy. There is historical precedent to what I’m saying – in 1989 we saw plenty of this stuff. All across eastern Europe (countries that were behind the Iron Curtain), countries saw their governments fall apart due to being weakened and even government subversion in some cases. Now, this was going on in Capricorn in 1989, which, while Capricorn is resilient energy, it doesn’t fight in the same way that Aries energy puts up a fight. This makes me think that any governments we see showing signs of falling apart (whether literally or figuratively), those governments/people in authority are NOT going to go down without a massive firefight.
    –We are already seeing ripples of this across the world as I’m writing this in mid-June 2025.

    Toxins are something that I keep thinking about in relation to this conjunction. Neptune has domain over toxins….but so does Saturn. I started thinking about the different plants that Saturn has rulership over for a completely unrelated reason (a lot of which are toxic), which got me to thinking about Saturn and toxins. Sure enough, the Rulership Book has BOTH Saturn and Neptune listed next to “toxins, that which is toxic, toxemia & toxic complaints” (Pluto and Scorpio are also listed). Now, we all know that there are so many toxins in the world around us. These can be found in the air that we breathe, in the food that we eat, etc. (especially here in the US – this might not be as much of an issue in other parts of the world). This really gets me thinking about the different ways that the self (Aries) comes into contact with these toxins on an everyday basis and what we might realize about toxicity in general under this conjunction. In 1989, the last time that transit Saturn and Neptune were conjunct one another (in Capricorn), the Toxic Release Inventory was established. This required certain types of manufacturing and industry to report the chemicals & toxins that were released into the environment. In 1953, the second-to-last time that transit Saturn & Neptune were conjunct one another (this time in Libra), the first poison control center was set up in Chicago (because so many children were ending up poisoned by, what seems like, the world around them). So…I guess the good thing about this particular conjunction is that it does seem to be a catalyst for things changing regarding toxicity in our environment/becoming more aware of such things (both on a collective and personal level). But it’s how much toxic shit is found that is concerning (or that could be found). 
    –To kind of add on to the idea of toxicity with the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, I have to wonder if not only we will be tasked with facing the different toxins in the environment, but also facing ways that we have been toxic to ourselves (again, since Aries energy deal with “the self”). This could be ways that we have literally introduced ourselves to toxins, but also ways that we ourselves can be toxic (this could take place on both an individual and/or collective level). 

    The idea of “real fake(s)” (or some kind of blending of “real” and “fake”) appears to be on the agenda. What do you consider to be real, and what do you consider to be fake? And not even what you consider to be real and fake – what the hell do the concepts of “real” and “fake” mean, anyway? The lines are blurring all over the place! Saturn deals in what’s real (and reality) while Neptune deals with what’s fake (and stuff like that). When I think about this particular element of Saturn conjunct Neptune my mind goes to AI (which has exploded in the past few years). Do I think we will see even more energy behind this….AI things that blur the lines between the real and unreal (almost to the point that we can’t even tell the fucking difference anymore)? Yeah, I do. If it doesn’t matter to you personally if something is real or fake, then this won’t be a problem for you (not everyone gives a shit about this). If you are the kind of person that the possibility of this bothers then start educating yourself on the “tells” (because AI does have tells that give away something was AI created).
    –There is also the notion of creative (Neptune) excellence (Saturn) that comes up for me, too. While there is a massive benefit to AI (definitely NOT knocking it), we are also seeing AI replace human creative excellence at an exponential rate (or what feels that way to me). Instead of people writing things themselves they are having chatGPT or whatever write it for them. Instead of people creating their own works of art they are having Midjourney do it for them…this is the kind of shit I’m talking about. I almost wonder if down the line human creative excellence (such as the things that people create) will be worth more than their AI counterparts. That would be WAY down the line, though (probably)…..especially the more intellectual property issues that come up with AI (and I’d bet a little money that this will be a thing).
    –Reality might also continue to be stranger than fiction under this transit…which would follow suit with how the world has been the past 10 years. Though, with this going on in Aries, it might have a whole bunch of oomph behind it.

    Unhappiness hitting a sort of breaking point also seems like something that could be involved with Saturn conjunction Neptune (as the concept of “unhappiness” is considered under the domain of Saturn and the 12th House; 12th House has an affinity for Neptune energy). Now, that’s not to say that everyone is going to be unhappy under this particular transit – that would be ridiculous to say. However, there is much going on in the world at large that could make a person unhappy, and with this transit going on in Aries it’s not going to be people just bitching about what makes them unhappy but actually DOING something about what makes them unhappy. The “doing something” or action could be a really good thing individually and/or collectively, but it could also be a really bad thing individually and/or collectively. From an historical perspective, we saw this same kind of thing happen when the Saturn & Neptune conjunction happened in 1989 in Capricorn with the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Chinese students (among others) tired of the government’s bullshit and ending up massacred).  
    –We are already seeing this come about in the US right now (minus the massacre part). This weekend (as I’m writing this) there have been several protests in different cities with people making it known loud and clear how unhappy they are with the state of things in the US and how unhappy they are with Trump’s policies. I imagine that once Uranus enters Gemini (making a mini-trine between Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn/Neptune in Aries) in a few weeks we will see even more action like this (maybe about different things, but action none-the-less). While I am giving a US current-event example here, this isn’t just a US thing – I would expect to see this kind of thing pop up all over the world.
