Partial solar eclipse in Virgo, Venus entering Virgo linked to changes for five zodiac signs
Astrology-focused forecasts tie the weekend event to shifts in love, work and self-worth as Venus moves into Virgo, with five signs highlighted for potential changes.
A partial solar eclipse is expected Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025, with the event beginning at 1:29 p.m. ET, according to astronomy calendars. The eclipse occurs as the sun, moon and Earth align in the sign of Virgo, a period many astrologers describe as focused on precision, health and service.
At the same time, Venus—the planet associated with love and money—will enter Virgo, moving across the sky from Earth's perspective. The weekend pairing of an eclipse and Venus’ ingress has prompted astrologers to forecast a week of internal recalibration, with some people urged to refine routines, reexamine goals and rethink commitments at work and in romance. Eclipses are viewed in astrology as turning points that can accelerate changes that might otherwise unfold over months, particularly when they fall in Virgo’s realm of detail and practical matters.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22) Virgos are described as practical and detail-oriented, driven to improve themselves and their surroundings. The Virgo partial solar eclipse is expected to spark breakthroughs in career and personal goals, nudging Virgos to embrace new opportunities and let go of old habits. However, with Venus entering Virgo on Sept. 19, Virgos may also feel heightened self-criticism, amplifying focus on strengths and prompting some to consider therapy or structured support to navigate emotional hurdles.
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20) The typical Pisces is empathetic, dreamy and deeply connected to emotions and intuition. The eclipse, occurring in Pisces’ relationship zone in this astrology framework, is forecast to bring clarity and notable shifts in serious partnerships, potentially pushing an attached Pisces to set healthier boundaries. With Venus in Virgo, the mix also nudges Pisces to open up in relationships and address emotions in a more grounded way. Therapist Jaime Bronstein told the New York Post that avoidance can trap people in unproductive patterns and that small, honest exchanges can sustain connection.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Taureans are described as grounded, loyal and oriented to comfort and beauty. The eclipse’s focus on romance and creativity could spark new passions or alter how they express love, challenging their routines. Venus in Virgo emphasizes practicality in relationships, encouraging Taureans to share daily patterns with loved ones. But the same influence can cause overthinking of minor issues in romance, potentially sowing friction if not managed.
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) Libras are often seen as peace-seeking and relationship-focused, with an eye for harmony and aesthetics. The eclipse may trigger spiritual awakenings and breakthroughs in love and intimacy, prompting Libras to voice deeper needs. Venus in Virgo can raise anxieties, prompting Libras to search for ways to release mental blocks and find inner calm. Bronstein advised using the moment to reflect on progress while staying open to new possibilities.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Geminis are noted for curiosity, adaptability and a need for ongoing dialogue. The Virgo partial solar eclipse is expected to heighten self-awareness, helping Geminis shed fears and gain emotional clarity. With Venus entering the picture, Venus is anticipated to sharpen their analytical approach to personal matters, improving communication and potentially accelerating transformative outcomes. Some observers note that while Venus remains in Virgo, the effects of the eclipse may linger through November.
The astronomical event itself remains a subject of scientific observation and public interest. Visibility of the eclipse will depend on local conditions and geographic location, and observers should follow safety guidance for viewing solar phenomena. In astrology-focused coverage, the emphasis is on personal interpretation and timing rather than scientific causation. The eclipse occurs as Venus moves through Virgo, a transit that proponents say can last through mid-October, with lingering reflections on relationships and daily routines continuing into late fall.
