We’re nearing the end of the eclipse season with a week that brings powerful turning points and real clarity if you’re willing to pause and listen. The Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sunday offers a chance to reset something foundational: your habits, your priorities, or even the way you care for yourself and others.
This isn’t the kind of week to keep pushing forward on autopilot. Mercury's entry into Libra on Thursday, alongside its trines to Pluto and Uranus, opens the door to insightful conversations and mental breakthroughs. You might finally see the solution to a problem that’s been foggy for weeks.
On Friday, Venus shifts into Virgo, steering us toward what’s real and useful in relationships. Expect a desire to simplify, clarify, and commit to what truly feels good, not just what looks good on paper.
It’s not just a reset. It’s a recalibration.
Mercury enters Libra, trines Pluto & Uranus: Thursday, September 18
This week is about choosing substance over sparkle when it comes to love. On Friday, September 19, Venus moves into Virgo, shifting relationship energy into practical, honest, and sometimes slightly uncomfortable territory. If there’s been something simmering under the surface — unspoken expectations, misaligned values, or just a general sense of “meh” — this is the moment it surfaces. But the purpose isn’t conflict; it’s clarity.
Expect to feel a stronger desire for reciprocity in your closest relationships. You might find yourself more focused on actions over words; who’s really showing up? Who’s saying one thing but doing another? If it’s real, this transit will strengthen the connection. If it’s shaky, you’ll see the cracks.
Earlier in the week, Mercury enters Libra on Thursday, September 18, bringing grace and diplomacy back into our conversations. This is good news for relationships of all kinds. Paired with Mercury’s trine to Pluto (in Aquarius) and Uranus (in Gemini) the same day, conversations can get honest without turning volatile. If you’ve been putting off a tough talk, this may be your opening... Just choose words that build, not break.
Sunday’s New Moon and Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (September 21) adds another layer: a clean slate for how you approach love and connection. You’re being asked to drop the fantasy of perfection and embrace what’s real, messy, and worth working for. Relationships grounded in mutual effort can thrive now. Surface-level ones may fade or get the upgrade they desperately need.
Careers & Work
If you’ve been stuck in a loop or unclear on next steps, this is your week for a breakthrough, especially around communication, collaboration, and strategy.
Thursday, September 18 is the turning point. Mercury, freshly in Libra, trines both Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, making this one of the best days of the month to rethink or realign how you approach your work. These trines are not just about ideas... They’re about insight that cuts through the noise. Expect new solutions to old problems, or surprising opportunities that come through networking, tech, or unconventional paths.
Whether you work solo or on a team, Mercury in Libra brings a more measured, thoughtful tone to your professional conversations. If you’ve been waiting to schedule a pitch, proposal, or review, Thursday is prime time. Just keep things clear and fair: Libra rewards diplomacy but not vagueness.
Venus entering Virgo on Friday also filters into your work life. Expect higher standards, from yourself and others. You might feel a strong urge to get organised, tighten systems, or refine a project. Just be mindful not to slip into perfectionism. Done well beats perfect but unfinished.
Finally, the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on Sunday closes out the week with a career cleanse of sorts. If your day-to-day work has felt disconnected from your long-term goals, you’ll feel that friction. This eclipse isn’t about quitting everything; it’s about doing it differently. Small, consistent changes will get you further than grand plans with no follow-through.
There’s a quiet intensity to this week. We’re at the tail end of the eclipse portal, which means you may still feel a bit foggy or emotionally scattered as the week begins. That’s normal. It’s not a lack of motivation, it’s your body and spirit asking for integration.
Mercury’s trines on Thursday can bring mental clarity, especially if you take time to journal, reflect, or talk things through with someone you trust. There’s an opening here to release old thought patterns, particularly the ones that run on fear or assumptions. A mental declutter, if you will.
Venus in Virgo can also impact your mood. It may stir up some self-critical tendencies, especially around how you look, perform, or show up for others. Catch yourself before the spiral. Instead of nitpicking, ask: what’s the one small shift I can make today that supports how I want to feel?
The Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Virgo on Sunday is your moment to reset — not in a lofty, Pinterest-board way, but in real, grounded terms. Think: realistic goals, daily routines that actually work for you, and habits that support the person you’re becoming.
Don’t underestimate the power of the small. This eclipse reminds us: the magic isn’t in dramatic transformation. It’s in choosing to do the meaningful things consistently and letting them change you, one aligned step at a time.
