Solar Eclipse in Virgo 9*21*25

Sunday we have the Solar Eclipse at the last degree of Virgo. In astrology, the last degree of any sign is called the "anaretic" degree. It is the degree right before the planet or heavenly body moves into the next sign. It signifies endings and completions which can come with a sense of urgency or pressure to act. This Solar Eclipse has the Sun and Moon at 29 degrees of Virgo, the mutable earth sign. Virgo is concerned with being of service but it does so in practical (earth) ways. Virgo energy looks at routines, daily to do's and responsibilities with a critical eye for detail. It analyzes processes and sees where things could be more efficiently done. Virgo hates waste and disorganization. Its ultimate purpose is to free up time and energy that is currently being expended taking care of things in inefficient ways. Balanced Virgo energy is great at reengineering practices and processes so they flow better.
