“Lunar eclipses are three times more intense and emotional than full moons,” astrologer Kyle Thomas explained to PEOPLE and this week, that celestial intensity is turned up to the max. From September 15 to 21, 2025, the heavens are offering a once-a-while mix of emotional awakenings, new beginnings, and destiny-driven opportunities that might shift the game for some signs.
The week kicks off with the Moon in Cancer, bringing reflection and emotional clarity, then moves into Leo’s bold, heart-centered energy before culminating in a potent New Moon solar eclipse in Virgo. This is not just any eclipse it’s the final degree of Virgo, a karmic hotspot that pushes us toward soul-level growth. For five signs in particular, these transits are aligning to clear old blocks, spark major wins, and set the stage for long-term success. From career jumps to relationship epiphanies, here’s how the week’s astrology is loading the odds in favor of the zodiac’s luckiest players.

With the solar eclipse falling in your sign on Sept. 21, Virgo, this is your celestial do-over. Mercury’s entry into Libra on the 18th puts your values and money front and center, and Venus in Virgo from the 19th increases your self-esteem and attractiveness. This isn’t about changing everything at once Virgo’s winning plan now is “small goals only.” Even one precise, genuine intention can be the key to setting the tone for the next half-year.
Saturn’s opposition to the eclipse gives weight, solidifying your decisions. This is an opportunity to let go of unrealistic relationship expectations and move forward into a new age of self-expression. With the Moon in Leo earlier this week pushing you to abandon bad habits, you’ll feel more bold embracing your next step.
