What the Solar Eclipse Means for You and Your Business
This Virgo eclipse brings clarity, endings, and new beginnings you can’t ignore.
Introduction
I always find it funny how life and astrology align. I often catch myself doing certain things, making decisions, or feeling very clear about a next step and only later, when I look at the astrology of the moment, I realise it’s exactly what the current energy is about.
For example: over the past weeks I’ve been closing chapters. I made the decision to stop BOLD Network after more than five years. I’ve been cancelling subscriptions I don’t need, cleaning up my laptop, clearing out email lists, backing up files, and letting go of strategies that no longer serve me.
At the same time, I feel crystal clear on my new vision and business strategy, my content plans, and even the way I want to take care of my body. I started working out again in a different way, and I bought a blender to bring more healthy routines (and smoothies 🍓) into my daily life.
What always makes me smile is when I then check the astrology and see: this is exactly the kind of energy we’re in collectively right now. It’s like a double confirmation — that inner sense of “this is the right thing” gets mirrored by the stars. It helps me trust that I’m moving in the right direction, that my priorities are aligned, and that my intuition is guiding me well.
That’s also how I love to use astrology: not as something outside of me that dictates what I “should” do, but as an inspiration and validation of what I already feel is true.
And because these energies are not just personal but collective, I want to share with you what’s happening now. We’re in the middle of a powerful eclipse season and the solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st is one of the most significant cosmic events of the year. Let’s dive into what this eclipse is, the planetary line-up that makes it so unique, and what it means for us both collectively and in business.
1. What is a Solar Eclipse in Virgo?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking its light. Astrologically, this is a super-charged New Moon: a moment of reset, endings, and beginnings.
Because this eclipse falls in Virgo, the sign of order, health, service, and daily rhythms, the collective energy is centred around clarity, cleansing, and correction. Virgo cuts through illusions and reminds us that every vision needs structure, discipline, and grounding to manifest. Where Pisces dreams, Virgo organises. Where Pisces dissolves, Virgo defines.
This eclipse asks: What in your life is ready to be purified, healed, and reorganised so that you can create real alignment?
2. Why this eclipse is particularly powerful
This eclipse does not stand alone. The planetary line-up makes it even more significant:
Sun, Moon, South Node, and Venus all in Virgo
This creates a cluster of energy in Virgo, amplifying themes of release (South Node), new beginnings (Sun + Moon), and values or relationships (Venus). It’s not just about creating order, but about letting go of habits, attachments, or even people that no longer serve your higher alignment.North Node and Saturn in Pisces
Directly opposite the Virgo cluster, the North Node points to our collective direction: surrender, intuition, and spiritual truth. Saturn’s presence here adds weight and responsibility — we cannot bypass reality or escape into fantasy. Instead, we are asked to commit to our spiritual path and embody it in tangible ways.The Virgo–Pisces polarity
This axis is about the balance between the mystical (Pisces) and the practical (Virgo). During this eclipse, the universe highlights the tension between control and surrender, structure and flow, body and spirit. We are invited to align the two, rather than choose one over the other.
3. Collective meanings per planet/point
Sun & Moon in Virgo → A collective reset in how we approach our routines, health, and practical systems. It’s a call to simplify and clear out what drains us.
South Node in Virgo → Release perfectionism, hyper-criticism, and over-attachment to details. Old systems or habits are ready to be dismantled.
Venus in Virgo → Relationships, values, and finances come under the microscope. This energy purifies love and money matters — what feels aligned stays, what doesn’t must go.
North Node in Pisces → Our future path lies in faith, intuition, and a deeper spiritual trust. This is not about control but about surrendering to flow.
Saturn in Pisces → The teacher here reminds us that spirituality without structure drifts, and structure without spirit becomes empty. Saturn in Pisces asks us to create practical containers for our intuition.
4. What this means for the collective
Collectively, this eclipse asks us to purify and realign. Virgo energy cleanses the noise, distractions, and unhealthy patterns we’ve been carrying. With the South Node here, it’s not only about starting something new, but also about releasing what no longer works.
On the other side of the axis, Pisces pulls us into deeper trust and surrender. With Saturn present, this isn’t about drifting into fantasy — it’s about making spirituality tangible, creating discipline around our intuition, and grounding our vision into the real world.
The collective is being asked: How do we balance the mystical and the practical? How do we honour the soul without losing sight of structure?
5. What this means for business
Translated into the business sphere, this eclipse cycle highlights three main themes:
Simplification
Virgo asks us to cut out the unnecessary. Businesses built on overcomplication, clutter, or perfectionism may struggle now. It’s time to streamline systems, refine offers, and get clear on what actually works.Integrity and alignment
With the Nodes on the Virgo–Pisces axis, businesses cannot hide behind appearances. Clients and audiences are increasingly drawn to authenticity and substance. This is a time to let go of strategies that feel forced, and to build from true alignment instead.Structure for the soul
Saturn in Pisces reminds us that vision without structure remains a dream. The most successful moves now will come from creating containers for your intuitive ideas: frameworks, programs, or business models that allow your creativity to flow while being held by strategy.
6. How to translate this eclipse into your personal chart
Astrology is collective, but it’s also deeply personal. While the Virgo–Pisces polarity is shaping the bigger picture for all of us, the way you’ll actually feel this eclipse depends on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.
These three placements give you a practical way to decode the energy for yourself:
Your Sun sign → the core of who you are, your identity, your life direction.
Your Moon sign → your emotional world, inner needs, and subconscious patterns.
Your Rising sign → how you meet the world, your physical presence, and the path you walk in daily life.
If you don’t know your Moon or Rising sign yet, you can easily find them by entering your birth details (date, time, place). I’ve created a simple template that walks you through this step-by-step — you can download it here 📥
Why Sun, Moon, and Rising matter for business too
Your business is an extension of your energy. When you understand how this eclipse affects your Sun, Moon, and Rising, you’ll not only gain clarity on your personal life but also on your work, your visibility, your relationships with clients, and the way you create and share your offers.
Think of it this way:
Sun → your brand and long-term mission.
Moon → your workflow, emotional resilience, and what makes your work feel nourishing.
Rising → your marketing, visibility, and how the world perceives your business.

Combined reading
When you put these together, a clear theme emerges:
Personal life: The eclipse is strongly activating your relationships (Pisces Sun & Moon). You may be confronted with dynamics that no longer serve you. This is a moment to release imbalanced connections and create space for healthier bonds. At the same time, your Aries Rising asks you to take back your personal power through daily habits and routines. When you focus on your own energy, health, and clarity, you naturally raise your standards in relationships too.
Business: Relationships and collaborations are central. This is a powerful time to evaluate whether your clients, partnerships, or contracts are truly aligned. Are they reciprocal? Do they feel nurturing? Your Aries Rising reminds you that this evaluation should be paired with action: simplify your business systems and create stronger foundations. By doing so, you can hold the kind of partnerships that actually support your long-term vision.
✨ This is how you can use the guide: look at your Sun, Moon, and Rising, read each part individually, and then weave them together into a bigger story. The overlap between your signs will show you the main themes to focus on right now.
