Crossing the Double Virgo Moon Bridge Into Eclipse Alchemy
So, you made it. You survived the glorious, heart-swollen, too much light, too much noise chaos of Leo Season. Take a deep breath. Smell that? It’s the ozone crackle of a bonfire just extinguished, the sweet-sweat scent of a dance floor at dawn. Now that the party’s over, the Universe sends in the clean-up crew. Spoiler alert (and I’m really sorry about this - ): it’s you.
For the last month, we’ve been living in the Lion’s den, a necessary and deeply nourishing stopover in the shit-show that is 2025. Called back to our own creative fire, to the shameless joy of being seen, to the radical act of pleasure in a world that demands our constant, anxious productivity. Tending to our inner fire, even though and regardless the world literally being on fire. A radical self-centered stop-over on a deeply weird, mind-spinningly accelerated storyline that’s humanity in 2025.
Do you remember when, for a brief moment, we thought our collective generational trauma was that whole bullshit Covid story? Well, who knew that after decades of leaving that shit only quietly smoldering, 2025 will fan the flames & invite fascism to be back for a collective review?!
Hopefully, you let yourself get a little feral in August. Hopefully, you filled your cup to the brim with sunlight, laughter & whatever the hell else makes your heart beat like a drum solo.
Because in 2025, the Leo Season was not just a cider & sunlight soaked picnic with a bunch of admirers. It was a strategic resupply mission. And now, the work begins.
We are stepping out of the Lion’s golden haze and into the stark, clarifying & often unforgiving light of Virgo’s workshop. Rather than the parent bursting through the door to demand you put down the mirror & the brush you’ve been using as a microphone and get the fuck on with cleaning up your mess, this is an actual sacred forging. The astrology of Virgo Season is asking us to take the raw, molten gold of our Leo-season joy and hammer it into a shield.
We need to alchemize that heart-fire into something durable, something practical, something that can protect us. Because the 2025 eclipse storm is gathering on the horizon, and this year, it is not fucking around.

Why the Cosmos is Obsessed with Virgo This Year
Every so often, the cosmos gets a fixation. It’ll grab one sign by the scruff of its neck and hold it up to the light for all of us to see, insisting we learn its lessons. This year, that sign is Virgo. Because in a rare astrological event, we are getting two New Moons in the sign of Virgo back-to-back. This isn’t a typo.
Think of it as a double-underlined, highlighted, star-dusted imperative that tells us the Virgo archetype holds the master key to navigating the pressures of 2025.
The universe is forcing us to engage with Virgo’s medicine because it is the precise antidote to the poisons of our time: the relentless hustle, the digital disconnect, the brutal individualism that leaves us feeling hollowed out and alone.
And this is how it happens:
🌑 The Birth (August 23rd): The 0-Degree Initiation
The first New Moon lands at 0∘ Virgo. In astrology, the zero-degree point is known as a critical or "birthing" degree. It’s the purest, most undiluted expression of a sign’s energy. It’s the moment a seed is planted in the dark, fertile soil of pure potential. Just the raw, innocent & wildly potent energy of a brand-new beginning. This is a moment of "beginner's mind," a leap of faith taken without a map, fueled only by the gut-level knowing that something must begin.
🌒 The Reckoning (September 21st): The 29-Degree Eclipse
The second New Moon is a Solar Eclipse at 29∘ Virgo. The 29th degree is the final, fated, karmic test. It’s a point of crisis and completion, where the accumulated experience and karma of the entire sign come to a head.
If the 0-degree New Moon was the planting of the seed, this 29-degree eclipse is the moment that tender sprout is tested against the full force of reality. The wind, the drought, the storm.
It’s a graduation under fire: a moment of truth where we must confront everything we’ve learned and decide if we’re ready to move on.
This 0-to-29-degree cycle is a compressed narrative of radicalization. We often start our journeys of change with a pure, hopeful heart (the 0-degree New Moon). But to make that change stick, to make it real, we must confront the full, crushing weight of the systems we are fighting against and the personal baggage we are dragging behind us.

The Gifts & The Challenges: Your Feral Toolkit for the Season
So, what the hell do we do with all this? This isn’t about manifesting your best life with positive vibes. This is about survival, resilience & finding the sacred in the struggle. This is your toolkit.
Gifts of the Season
🔪 Radical Discernment
This Virgo Season, tune up your internal bullshit detector until it’s razor-sharp. It’s the power to sift through the noise of a dying culture and identify what truly nourishes you versus what is poison disguised as progress.
- Your Feral Ritual: Once a week this season, do a great edit. Take a ruthless inventory of one area of your life: your social media feed, your fridge, your friendships, your obligations. Ask one question: “Does this make me feel more embodied and alive, or is it just another cage?” Cut one thing. Why not? No explanation, no apology. Just the clean slice of liberation, without feeling like you need to hysterically scramble to slot something else, something better, more functional in its place. Leave that fucking slot empty. You’ve got too many tabs open anyway.
🌿 Embodied Wisdom & Radical Self-Care
Your body is not an inconvenient meat-suit for your brain to pilot. It is your home. In the time in history when we’re asked to pay rent for being born on this beautiful planet, your body is the only patch of earth you will ever truly own. In a system that profits from your exhaustion and disconnection, tending to your body is an act of political warfare.
- Your Feral Ritual: Get Grounded. Go outside. Put your bare feet on the dirt, the grass, the concrete. Feel the damn planet beneath you. Eat something that grew in it. Pay attention to your gut (Virgo rules the intestines). What is it telling you? Listen to its gurgles and knots. How can you help it sing more in tune with the rhythm of your days, your energy, your dreams and desires?
🛠️ Sacred Craftsmanship
Reclaim the act of making from the clutches of “content creation” and “productivity hacks.” Your hands hold an ancient wisdom. Can you do something really well with your body, with your hands? Paint? Dance? Plant or harvest? Cook? Do more of it when no one is watching. Do more of it without racking your mind for how best to turn it into a profit. Fuck setting up an Etsy store for your creations. Fuck trying to take a good picture of it to post on social media and wait for the likes to start validating your craft.
- Your Feral Ritual: Make something useless. Write a poem you’ll never show anyone. Cook a meal just for the joy of chopping vegetables. Draw something messy. Make something with your hands that has no purpose other than its own existence. Feel the holiness in small, intentional, unprofitable acts.
Challenges of the Season
💥 Perfectionism as a Prison
The relentless urge to “get it right” is a trap set by a society that needs you to feel inadequate so you’ll keep consuming. Perfection is a myth. It’s a ghost. It’s a cage.
- Your Feral Response: Practice the art of “good enough.” Intentionally do something imperfectly. Send the email with a typo. Leave a dish in the sink overnight. Let your rebellion be in the glorious, freeing release of impossible standards.
🌪️ System Overload & The Tyranny of the To-Do List
Virgo’s shadow is anxiety - the frantic energy of trying to control every variable, which leads to burnout and overwhelm.
- Your Feral Response: A tiny act of anarchy. Ask yourself: “What system in my life is actually a cage? What rule: one I’ve imposed on myself, can I break today just to feel the air on my skin?” Then go break it.
⛓️ The Weight of Reality (Saturn’s Squeeze)
That final eclipse on the 21st September opposite Saturn is going to feel heavy. It can bring up deep feelings of failure, limitation, grief & despair. It’s meant to.
- Your Feral Response: Call on your ancestors. You are the result of a thousand loves and a thousand struggles. The resilience of every person who came before you lives in your DNA. This weight is not just yours to bear - it is the weight of your lineage, and so is the strength. Create a small, simple altar…a photo, a stone, an old bracelet, a candle. Sit with it. Acknowledge them. You are not alone in this fight.
✨♍VIRGO SEASON STORY IN SIX CHAPTERS ♍✨
The story of this year’s Virgo Season unfolds in six distinctive chapters, each one a turning point in a mythic journey:
⚡👑 CHAPTER 1: The Royal Shock (New Moon in Virgo square Uranus) – August 23, 2025 - rattles our crowns loose. The universe is shaking up your perfectly curated routine, throwing lightning bolts at your plans. Themes of power, leadership, success, and even wealth. Uranus is throwing a tantrum, yikes.
💥🥊 CHAPTER 2: Big Mood, Big Moves (Mars square Jupiter) – August 28, 2025 - as you start to ride the chaotic waves of the New Moon, the cosmos throws another spicy aspect into the mix. Mars in Libra, the planet of action and aggression, squares Jupiter in Cancer, the planet of expansion and excess. The explosive emoji above is a deliberate choice!
🧾 CHAPTER 3: Karmic Receipts (Saturn retrograde in Pisces)– September 1, 2025 - get ready for Saturn, the great taskmaster of the zodiac, sitting you down as it retrogrades back into the dreamy waters of Pisces. Blank paper and pen and deliver your receipts - revisit and deal with the "residual drama" from earlier in the year, particularly from May.
😭🌊 CHAPTER 4: The Great Cosmic Sob (Lunar Eclipse in Pisces) – September 7, 2025 - prepare for the emotional climax of the season. A Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces brings a moment of culmination, revelation, and release.
💻✨ CHAPTER 5: The Divine Download (Mercury cazimi) – September 13, 2025 - delivers piercing clarity, likely on the global stage. This will be juicy.
⚔️ CHAPTER 6: The Final Boss Battle & Glow-Up (Solar Eclipse in Virgo opposite Saturn) – September 21, 2025 - welcome to the grand finale. A Partial Solar Eclipse at 29° Virgo signifies a super-charged new beginning and the opening of a fated new chapter. Opposing Saturn, the planet of limitations and responsibility, this is the ultimate final exam: have you done the work? Are you ready to face reality? The glow-up is real, but is it earned?
In the extended version of this article, available to paying members just below, I guide you through each of these transits in detail, weaving their archetypal stories with pop culture parables and crowning them with practical steps to carry you safely from one chapter to the next.
Alongside, I offer a deeper dive into the Virgo archetype itself, so you can not only survive eclipse season’s portal, but rise through it with clarity, grace & a touch of witchy rebellion.
