On September 21 we will experience a new moon Solar Eclipse. For a multitude of reasons, this is a “big one” for a Solar Eclipse. Not only are the Sun and Moon conjunct at 29 degrees of Virgo, symbolic of the very height of Virgo’s capacity for discrimination and discernment, but this new moon is part of two larger patterns: a Kite and a Mystic Rectangle. Because this new moon is happening with a Solar Eclipse, the energy and potential for change will stay active during the next six months or longer. Whatever you begin in the next few days has great power!

Solar Eclipse cycles repeat every 18.6 years and bring both new beginnings and events which often feel like a crisis, since the nature of eclipses is to shine light on darkness, or illuminate the shadow. Unlike Lunar Eclipses where the impact is felt close to the date on which it happens, Solar Eclipses can begin to manifest two to three months before and after they happen. This makes them even more difficult to predict and understand. There are lots of “triggers” for the September 21 Solar eclipse around that date, and then again in early October. When you begin to feel like you are dealing with circumstances beyond your control, most likely that is the Solar Eclipse in action.

This eclipse, because it’s on a cusp, will be important for people born with planets in late degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces and Gemini, as well as folks with planets in early degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries, and Cancer.

To understand more about this Eclipse, let’s start with the Kite. This pattern doesn’t happen very often because it involves six planets or points including one opposition, one Grand Trine and two sextiles. When it does appear, it indicates a harmonious flow of energy or a period when things just “work out”. That’s because the ease of the Grand Trine is paired with an opposition (enough tension to keep us motivated) and a bit of extra support (two sextiles).

This Grand Trine includes the Sun and Moon at 29 Virgo (earth) trine Pluto in Aquarius (air) trine Uranus in Gemini (air). The air element supports new ideas, productive communication, and linked with Virgo, a capacity for manifesting those ideas into practical and productive outcomes. Retrograde Pluto brings depth of understanding and the urge for reform while retrograde Uranus grants us the freedom to innovate a bit more slowly than usual. The opposition within the Kite is between the combined Sun and Moon (a new beginning) opposite Saturn (limitations/lessons) and Neptune (dreams/confusion). This is a time of finding balance between our visions and reality and setting clear intentions while trusting the universe.

A Mystic Rectangle consists of two oppositions, two trines and two sextiles: another multi-planet and unusual pattern. Energetically this represents polarities that work together to find common ground. This specific pattern combines all four elements; fire, earth, air and water which is very unusual because so many of the planets are at the end of one zodiac sign and the beginning of another. The elemental completeness brings a heightened creativity for solving problems.

Despite what is happening politically, this new moon highlights a time to use your capacity of discernment (29 degrees Virgo) combined with your many talents (Grand Trine/Mystic Rectangle) to start something new or create an intention for change in your life. Change is made from many small steps, and now is the time to begin.

On August 23 we will have the first of two new moons in the sign of Virgo. The first one is exactly on 0 degrees. Then on September 21, the Sun and Moon will meet again, this time at 29 degrees of Virgo. This doubling up happens every 29 months.

Virgo, the corn goddess, is associated with the harvest, a time in the northern hemisphere where fruits and vegetables are abundant and coming to the end of their season. Individuals born with planets in Virgo are hard workers, practical, stable and nurturing. More than any other zodiac sign Virgos pay attention to details. This can result in excellence, perfectionism, and a hyper critical nature.

As many of you know, on July 8th when Uranus entered Gemini for the first time in 84 years, we collectively dipped a toe into a new astrological era. For the next couple months, and then permanently next spring, all the outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) will be fire and air signs (Aries, Gemini and Aquarius).

We are on the cusp of a two-week period that invites us to feel better. Hard to imagine, I know, but bear with me. On Wednesday, June 25th the Sun, Moon and Jupiter come together in loyal, protective, nurturing, and family-oriented cancer. Jupiter is the planet of optimism, of good fortune and expansion. When Jupiter contacts other planets, in this case the Sun, consciousness, and Moon, emotions, we feel hopeful, grateful, and emotionally wealthy. Jupiter is “exalted” or jubilant in Cancer and can remind all of us of happy events from the middle of 2013 to 2014. Twelve years ago, our entire coast to coast family gathered once in June to celebrate our youngest’s’ B Mitzvah, and again in November to celebrate my long-awaited marriage to Mindy. True blessings from Jupiter in cancer.

New Moons are a time to plant seeds, to set intentions, and let go of what’s complete. The zodiac sign of cancer, from June 21-July 21, in the northern hemisphere corresponds with high summer, following the longest day of the year, summer solstice. We are in a cosmic time of rich fertility and greater potential for emotional connections; a time of long summer days, tending the garden, going to the farmer’s market and gathering with chosen family. Even though we’re in the midst of tragic wars, political polarization, strife and uncertainty, take a moment during the last week of June to enjoy your life and spend time with those you love. The Sun, Moon and Jupiter all sextile pragmatic Mars in Virgo, which supports getting things done as well.

While the Sun and Moon are astrologically supported, Saturn and Neptune are conjunct in very early Aries, making a square or stressful aspect to the luminaries. Saturn can ground and limit our good feelings, while Neptune will often envelope us a dreamy haze. We may find setbacks, confusion and frustrations during the last week of June as well.

On July 8, 2025, Uranus will make its initial entrance into Gemini for the first time in 84 years. It will stay in Gemini until November 9th when it retrogrades, and then returns to Gemini April 27, 2026, staying there until August 2032. It is possible that some of the financial uncertainty happening now as Uranus leaves Ta**us representing finances, will even out by summer 2026. During this seven-year period we can expect to see radical innovations in all forms of communication, transportation, AI and technology.

If you were born with planets in early degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces you are most likely to experience exciting and unforeseen changes in the next couple of years. On a personal level Uranus is known as the planet of break-up, break-down and break through. This planet can bring changes that in the moment, are unsettling and even unwanted, but after the dust settles people tend to feel more authentic along with a sense of more personal freedom.

Hello everyone,

Happening on May 26, at 6 degrees of Gemini, the new moon will highlight and emphasize all forms of communications, since Mercury the ruler of Gemini is also conjunct the luminaries. Gemini loves to share ideas, is quick-witted, mentally flexible, endlessly curious, and a bit scattered. The end of this month is a good time to actively brainstorm about your life, take a short trip, work on your book, article or podcast, network, and plan fun social gatherings.

Overall, this appears to be a favorable new moon for all facets of communication, since the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all trine Pluto in Aquarius. Gemini energy on its own can be erratic and distractable, but the easy supportive contact with Pluto brings focus and depth to mental pursuits, thoughts and conversations. Also, the same planets in the trine, the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto, are in a sextile, a creative exchange, with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This combination of air, planets in Gemini and Aquarius, interacting with planets in the fire sign of Aries suggests a highly energized period of creative thinking, building new social connections, and general excitement about new possibilities.

On May 25, Saturn will enter Aries for the first time since April of 1996, testing the waters until September 2, 2025, when it retrogrades back into Pisces. Because Saturn so often represents our goals and ambitions, you may find yourself revisiting some important pieces of your life from almost 30 years ago. On February 15, 2026, Saturn will finally move into Aries until April 2028. The period from the end of May until early September when a slow-moving planet enters a new sign and then retrogrades out of it, acts like a short trailer for an upcoming movie. You can’t see the entire movie yet, but you can get an idea of what it’s about. Because Aries represents action, initiative and rising to the challenge, we may all get inklings of new energy and where to channel our inner warrior.

Unfortunately, Neptune, the ruler of Pisces representing a dreamy, watery, and more internal or spiritually focused energy has been in early Aries since March 31, 2025, and will travel with Saturn until April 2026. This creates a major dissonance. By the time Saturn returns to Aries, this fall, Neptune will be there too, making it harder to stay grounded and focused. Focus on small steps towards your goals and take time to refresh your inner life.
