Partial solar eclipse in Virgo and Venus entering Virgo forecast life changes for five zodiac signs
As a Virgo-based partial solar eclipse aligns with Venus moving into Virgo, astrologers say five signs—Virgo, Pisces, Taurus, Libra and Gemini—could see notable shifts in love, work and self-worth over the coming weeks.
A partial solar eclipse on Sunday, September 21, will unfold in Virgo, aligning with Venus’ simultaneous move into the sign. Astrologers say the celestial pairing could trigger significant emotional and personal shifts for five zodiac signs in the weeks ahead.
Solar eclipses are described by believers as turning points that accelerate changes that might otherwise unfold over months. This eclipse is framed as a supercharged new moon, pushing people to abandon old habits and pursue new beginnings in work and romance. The event is slated to begin at 1:29 p.m. ET. Virgo’s influence emphasizes precision, health, and service as it highlights the parts of life that require careful refinement. Venus entering Virgo at the same time adds a layer of seriousness to relationships and self-worth, potentially heightening self-criticism while encouraging thoughtful reflection.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Practical and detail-oriented, Virgos have a track record of self-improvement. The Virgo eclipse could prompt breakthroughs in career and personal goals as they are nudged to seize new opportunities and release old patterns. Yet Venus’s passage into Virgo from Sept. 19 adds a layer of self-criticism, potentially heightening insecurities and causing Virgos to scrutinize their strengths. Some may consider therapy or structured reflection to navigate the emotional pressure.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20): Empathetic and intuitive, Pisces often lead with emotion. The eclipse lands in their relationship zone, signaling clarity and possible shifts in serious partnerships. With Venus entering Virgo, Pisces are nudged to open up and bring their feelings into a more grounded frame. Therapist Jaime Bronstein offered guidance: "Avoiding people doesn't keep you safe. It just keeps you stuck. Send the note. Ask the question. Share a small piece of your day. Those little moments remind you – connection can still grow," Bronstein told the New York Post.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Grounded and loyal, Taurus values comfort and beauty. The eclipse touches the romance and creativity sectors, potentially igniting new passions or changing how love is expressed. Venus’s move into Virgo through Oct. 13 may temper Taurus’ romantic spontaneity with practicality: they may want to structure routines with partners. Overthinking minor issues in romance is possible, but the overall trend favors more honest communication.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Libras seek harmony and beauty, and the eclipse could spark spiritual awakenings and breakthroughs in love and sex. Venus in Virgo can stir hidden worries, prompting Libras to look for ways to release mental blocks and regain inner calm. "This season may stir up old worries, but it also offers space to release them. Use this moment as a chance to step back, notice the progress you've made, and allow yourself to believe in new possibilities," Bronstein recommended.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Curious and communicative, Geminis may find the Virgo eclipse sharpening self-awareness and emotional clarity. The transit of Venus through Virgo will intensify their analytical side, encouraging clear conversations in personal matters. The effects of the solar eclipse could extend into November even as Venus leaves Virgo in mid- October.
Astrologers caution that while the eclipse and Venus' move offer opportunities, individuals should maintain practical steps and avoid overreliance on astrology. The alignment underscores a theme of refinement—body, mind, and relationships in need of deliberate, purposeful adjustments. The next few weeks will reveal how strongly these shifts appear, with some changes likely to unfold through October and into November.
