Virgo New Moon Eclipse: Getting to the ROOT of the Matter
Frida Kahlo Roots-1943
Today, September 21 2025, at 3:54pm EST we have a 29° Virgo South Node New Moon Eclipse. There is a 15 min video embedded below, if you are interested. Also below is my written take on the eclipse.
VIRGO SOUTH NODE ECLIPSE:
Virgo karma says: "I don’t want to be like that... that’s dirty. That’s bad. I’m clean. I want to purify away from that. I want to get it away from me. It is VILE. It is unconscionably disgusting. It is worthy of complete and utter rebuke! I HATE IT!!!! I want it to be perfect. I want it to be better. It is BAD and I am GOOD and I REJECT the bad and hold tight to the good from FEAR that the bad will subsume me."
There is quite a FEAR that comes up around not wanting to be whatever it is Virgo is rejecting…
"That is NOT me" says Virgo... "I reject that entirely!! I am pure and good and noble and righteous. I am BETTER THAN THAT!!! That is beneath me!"
Yet inside, Virgo is really saying... "The 'bad' is ME. I am vile, disgusting and wrong. I am bad. There is something wrong with ME."
Because remember... there is only one of us here… so what Virgo rejects outward is actually being rejected INWARD. A deep, inner part of Virgo that has been locked away, judged, shamed or feared looks Virgo in the face from outside... and this creates a major crisis.
It is easy to say THAT politician is bad, THAT group is evil, THAT country is wrong, THAT person is disgusting... and it feels SO SO BLOODY GOOD TO RIGHTEOUSLY DECLARE THAT ALL THE BAD THINGS OUTSIDE OF US ARE TERRIBLE AND WRONG!!!! We feel redeemed, cleansed of our inner shame, purified of our inner guilt.
Yet.... what we fail to recognize is that it's actually OUR SELF that we are hating.
It's MY badness, MY evil, MY wrongness, MY disgusting... rooted in MY inability to say YES to my own weakness, frailty and imperfection - simply projected outward.
Trust me on this one:
The more we hate outward, the more we hate inward.
End of story.
We just don't see it.

That's why there is so much dirty mud slinging and violence in the collective now... it's VIRGO SOUTH NODE KARMA. We are HATING each other so intensely. BLAMING each other for being unconscionably wrong or broken or evil or demonic. It's absolutely ludicrous.
RULE 1: EVERY SINGLE THING YOU BLAME OTHERS FOR IS ACTUALLY WITHIN YOU.
The 'SHAME ON YOU' is actually 'SHAME ON ME'... and the vile hatred of something outside of you is actually a vile hatred of something INSIDE OF YOU!!!!
RULE 2: YOU MUST SAY 'YES' TO WHAT YOU HATE INSIDE OF YOURSELF... HAVE COMPASSION FOR IT... TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT... WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG BOUNDARY PROTECTING KINDNESS.
HEALING IS FEELING, WHOLEING IS HEALING.
Leanne Venier, Shadow's Journey
My personal experience: I feel I have been trying to reject things that I don’t want to be anymore. Things within me, parts of me that have been hurt, parts I hate or feel rejecting of. And I want to blame others for these feelings, these parts.... simply to deflect the discomfort onto something else. Yet the Pisces medicine that came in 2 weeks ago at the Full Moon reminds me that saying 'yes' to these things within me…. all the things I hate and am terrified of…. is how I BECOME ONE WITH MYSELF AND WITH GOD.
So I say YES to them, deep inside my psyche, at my ROOT. I FEEL them and bring them back into the UNITY (Pisces) that I am, with my whole system and with the whole of Love.
(Now, I have Virgo on the IC... so I feel this at my ROOT... but wherever Virgo is in your chart is going to draw you into the place you need to say 'yes' to within yourself.)
In my humble opinion, there is some crisis of shame, judgement, persecution or rejection that you/we/me are trying to say YES to right now, that we can release the pain of…. right now.
So... What are you HATING???? Judging? Shaming? There is your HEALING.
That is what you have to LOVE.
This is the eclipse for that.... Say YES.
Peace. Sara
