September 2025 will deliver a double dose of celestial drama, with two eclipses opening the month’s cosmic curtain. First up, a Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7, followed by a Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21. Together, they mark the beginning of an 18-month cycle along the Pisces-Virgo axis, a tug-of-war between dreamy surrender and practical action.
Astrologer Emma Vidgen has one piece of advice: bring a pen. “Get your journals ready, because some themes that emerge in September 2024 could very well persist well into 2027. And this theme is: emotions,” she says. With Pisces—a water sign ruled by expansive Jupiter—expect big feelings. Sensitive, creative, and deeply intuitive, Pisces energy tends to stir the heart and soul.

Vidgen also notes that this isn’t happening in a vacuum. “The first [eclipse] of the 2025 cycle was a preview of what the next 18 months will be about,” she explains. “And that highlighted relationships, especially for people with Virgo or Pisces rising.” Translation: if you fall under these signs, the shifts you’re sensing now are the opening notes of a much longer symphony.
But Pisces and Virgo aren’t the only ones under the spotlight. Eclipse season acts like a cosmic highlighter, showing us what needs to be released and where fresh opportunities are waiting. This time, four signs in particular are set to feel the heat (or glow). Let’s unpack who will be most affected by September’s eclipses—and what it could mean for love, career, and self-discovery. Remember to check your rising sign as well as your sun sign.

What Eclipse Season Will Mean Spiritually For Four Signs:
According to astrologers, it’s the mutable signs that will feel the lunar eclipse in Pisces and Virgo most strongly. Mutable signs are chameleonic by nature, thriving on variety and change. However, this emotional rollercoaster may even test their appetite for change.
Pisces
For Pisces, the September 7 lunar eclipse could feel like fate is knocking on the door of your relationships. Amy Demure predicts you “may encounter a soulmate connection, or enter a relationship that defines how your love life progresses for the next year and a half.” This doesn’t just apply to romance—it could extend to friendships or business partnerships, too.
Eclipses on the Pisces-Virgo axis ask you to release old stories and embrace new beginnings. For Pisces, that means breaking the karmic loops that have kept you circling the same challenges in love, career, or finances. If you’ve felt held back by patterns of self-sacrifice or repeating unhealthy dynamics, this eclipse offers the chance to finally rewrite the script. Expect emotional clarity, deep intuitive nudges, and perhaps even a connection that feels like it spans lifetimes.
Virgo
Virgos are in for one of the most potent resets of all. The solar eclipse on September 21 falls in your sign, spotlighting your identity and the future you want to create. Demure notes that many Virgos “have been trapped in negative or traumatic relationship patterns that have inflicted a great deal of pain.” The good news? Those lessons have been learned. “This month will be one of the best you’ve had in years to start creating the life you always wanted,” she says.
This eclipse cycle also brings expansion. With Jupiter harmonising with the eclipse, fresh opportunities could arrive that change the course of your personal or professional life. For some Virgos, this could mean stepping into a long-awaited role, pursuing a bold creative idea, or finally giving yourself permission to chase a dream. After years of inner work, September marks a moment where the universe is nudging you to step into your power.
Gemini
If you’re a Gemini, the September eclipses push you to level up professionally. Demure suggests you’re “going to shed the obstacles and limitations that have been holding you back from the ultimate success in your career.” For years, some Geminis have felt overlooked, their talents undervalued, or their work environment stale. Now, the spotlight is shifting.
The Virgo solar eclipse activates your career sector, making this a prime time for recognition, promotions, or bold moves that raise your profile. It’s not just about external applause, either—it’s about claiming the authority and expertise you already possess. With Mercury, your ruling planet, supporting this eclipse cycle, the conversations you initiate around this time could open doors you’ve long hoped for. Be ready to pitch, network, and step into the recognition you deserve.
Sagittarius
For Sagittarians, the eclipses signal a deep emotional release. Demure explains that you’re “purging out years’ worth of trauma and emotional baggage that has been holding you back from the love, success and happiness you desire.” The Pisces lunar eclipse activates your home and inner world, bringing cathartic release. It may feel tender at first, but this is about clearing the decks for growth.
Over the last year, many Sagittarians have faced turbulence in their relationships or careers. The eclipse cycle invites you to use those lessons as fuel. As Demure puts it, “This is a month in which you can finally gain the recognition that you deserve for all your hard work and build something that will receive massive recognition.” For a sign that thrives on exploration and expansion, this eclipse season feels like a green light to move forward unburdened—and to claim the opportunities waiting just beyond the horizon.
Final Thought On Eclipse Season:
Eclipses are famous for shaking things up, but they’re also cosmic course-correctors. For Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius, September 2025 is the start of a new 18-month story, one that blends release with renewal. Keep your journal handy, trust the process.
