When Sun & Moon Meet: Virgo Eclipse Horoscopes for Earthly Wisdom

In past weeks the moon illuminated what felt like a weight so ancient, you cannot tell where it began or if it is yours. What has arrived into our awareness is an inevitable pressure, and yet we are called once again to let it all go and to allow the tides to wash over us. For some, it kept us awake all night, and for others it feels like no amount of rest is enough. Through our resistance, gritted teeth, and kicking feet, we are left so exhausted that we have no choice but to surrender to fate, transforming us once again to become who we truly are.

Virgo’s medicine can be found through her symbols: two serpents entwined around the staff, the maiden holding a sheaf of wheat, and the madonna who holds the child. Virgo holds the wheat, whole unto herself, quiet and discerning. She separates what nourishes from what poisons. Mercury's serpents wind through her, carrying earthly wisdom and life-force.

Pisces is her mirror, the ocean reflecting what virgo cannot alone see. Body and soul intertwined, like the serpents around the staff. Virgo is earth, the careful hand tending the harvest. Pisces is altar, the space where spirit meets form and boundaries dissolve. As the madonna holds the child, Virgo balances her wholeness with the openness to receive. She is purifying, separating wheat from chaff, acting; Pisces consecrates, receives, reflects. Alone, each is whole within herself, together they complete the axis. Integration becomes the remedy.

The sun and moon meet in Virgo to ask what can be purified? What can be released? What is ready to be harvested? Grounded? Offered?

Virgo

Authenticity is our only liberation, and our sovereignty is written in the map of our fate. You are looking in the mirror and it’s only you. You are being asked: what it is that you are serving, what are you sacrificing, and are you walking with integrity? You carry the knowledge of separating the wheat from the chaff. Your wisdom is always available as your guide on the path to sovereignty.

Pisces

Resonance, this is what has come into review. Your medicine is in your autonomy, your choice. What bound you by the illusion of dependency is now freeing you with quickening. A sense of self-authority has been rooting itself within, and a remembrance that what makes this life rich is the sacred act of witnessing another, whole from our own view. Will you honor the change or fall back into the loop?

Libra

Deep in the womb of our psyche, everything is murky. Here is where everything forgotten lies dormant, waiting to be seen, to be activated so it can be released. Here, although in complete darkness, is where we see the most clear. Through a quiet devotion, we gather wisdom that waits to be birthed through us. Soon we will be in your domain and what was revealed to you will rise to the forefront as a gift to us all.

Aries

This body is sacred. This temple, this flesh that nourishes us, keeps us safe, keeps us well. Every moment is an invitation for deep reverence for the being that holds us, that contains every facet, every dimension, every universe of who we are. To honor it, we take daily inventory of what poisons versus what heals. Your salvation is in the mundane, in the rhythm of ritual, in the small acts that align your body, your work, your life with the vitality you are meant to embody.

Scorpio

Every person is a mirror, a divine portal that show us who we have been, who we can become and who we do not want to be. Each connection shape-shifts in its positioning, but what is unveiled is that it is always you. It is your fears, your desires, what you love, what you cannot face. It is not to be measured. Each person and each encounter carries immense value. With an open heart our vision becomes more clear, and here is where our deepest desires are actualized.

Taurus

Emanating through you is something we all must remember: our innocence is our birthright. It can never be taken from us. We must tend to it, nurture it, protect it, and in return it will always protect us. Allow yourself to set the stage and play in the creation of your own myth, letting go of what keeps you from your purest self. There are no rules. Laughter is your medicine.

Sagittarius

Our beliefs inform our reality. If we do not assess what moves us, we risk being limited in our experience, never truly taking root or aligning with what could be ours. It is our work to release what we thought was truth but ended up being dogma. It is our divine right to not forfeit our intelligence to what depletes us. You, with expansive vision, are being called to ground your sight into the earth. Revoke consent from the beliefs that limit you, and the world will become your stage.

Gemini

We all come from somewhere. There are thousands upon thousands of expressions of love that lead to the divine miracle of you, and just as many expressions of pain that are not just yours to carry. Here are so many allies, hand in hand, waiting for you to look them in the eye; to witness one another, this is the path to self-rehabilitation.

Capricorn

Every one of us is a museum, a library of ancient, infinite knowledge that extends beyond time and space itself. Every one of us the teacher and the student, waiting for our time to share what it is we have always known. You’ve been at the mount, deep in contemplation, sorting through this collective memory, wondering if it is wise to offer all that you have learned. Your insight is everything that we have been needing.

Cancer

Our inner sight guides us both consciously and unconsciously. It’s time to reflect upon what is clouding our perception; what thoughts are rooted in outdated beliefs. It is here, when tending to your inner landscape, that you will clearly see what keeps you busy day-to-day and which thoughts make your emotions rise and fall. What thoughts have nothing to do with you at all? When clearing the path you will be able to settle into the heart, where clear hearing happens.

Aquarius

There is a type of strength only birthed through descent into our most hidden self. What lives here is a pain so vast that it has become unconscious to us, in some ways controlling us. When we take what has been given and bring it to light to be integrated, we are no longer bound. We are liberated. Here, if we are courageous enough to relinquish power, we find ourselves blessed with new life.

Leo

Our worth is invaluable, no measure can validate the truth of our existence. We are loved so deeply that it is beyond comprehension. This love is infused in everything, the scent of jasmine blossoms, the taste of pomegranate. Everywhere we turn, there is beauty and pleasure inviting us into a dance of reciprocity. Whole unto yourself, this is your sustenance.
