This episode dives into the September 21st Solar Eclipse in Virgo. With the Sun and Moon meeting in Gate 46 — the Gate of the Determination of the Self — this eclipse pulls us out of the mind and back into the body. It asks us to stop treating life like a burden to carry and start experiencing it as something alive in every step.
We’re standing at a culmination point, with the South Node close by, showing us the old Virgo habits that have to go — the over-functioning, the self-critique, the chase for perfection that drains joy. Mercury hosts the eclipse, sharpening communication both within and without, while Saturn’s opposition demands that what begins here is sustainable. Add Venus in Virgo squaring Uranus in Gemini, and the themes of devotion, disruption, and surprise are impossible to ignore.
This isn’t about reactivity. It’s about learning to respond from presence — to make choices rooted in the body instead of panic. And woven through it all is a reminder we rarely let ourselves claim: joy doesn’t have to be earned the hard way. Sometimes the easier path is the truer one.
