🌾  What Can You Expect from the New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse?

New moons represent the chance for a new cycle or chapter to begin. Since this is the start of something new, a new moon is an opportune time for manifesting and setting intentions. Whatever intentions, manifestations, and wishes you cast on the new moon may come to fruition over the next six months. Since this new moon will represent the start of a six-month cycle, you should think positively of what’s to come your way.

This new moon will double as a partial solar eclipse. No matter the type of eclipse, all eclipses represent fated yet unpredictable developments. An eclipse occurring during a new moon signifies unforeseen beginnings, plot twists, and unexpected opportunities. Basically, the next six months are like a coin toss. Your manifestations, desires, dreams, and more may come to fruition, but not in the way you may have expected. Go into the eclipse with an open mind.

What could come of this pivotal lunation? Pay attention to the zodiac sign this eclipse is occurring in, which is Virgo. This eclipse may radically change the following: work-life, health, habits, routine, organizational skills, service, boundaries, altruism, diet, exercise, pets, scheduling, and daily practices. Overall, this eclipse will have a significant effect on your everyday life and all that goes into it. 

🧠  Overall Theme: Will you keep calm and carry on, or crash out? Eclipses are pressurized events, and this one will be extra stressful since it’s the last eclipse of 2025. You may feel like it’s now or never to get started. While this is somewhat true, keep in mind that the fateful energy of the eclipse will also help you get going if it’s meant to be. Your best bet is to handle opportunities, situations, conversations, and more as they arise, rather than anticipating their arrival. Staying present will help you remain grounded as you consider what will come of your new fated six-month cycle.

 

💫   What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the Eclipse

As the new moon rises, it will pass between the sun and the Earth. However, the new moon, sun, and Earth will not exactly align. Since they’re somewhat aligned, this will create a new moon partial solar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon, since the new moon will partially block the sun. So, you may see a sliver of the sun peaking out from behind the new moon. 

Those located in Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, and many more can see this eclipse happening. The best locations to view this eclipse would be Australia and New Zealand. Just remember to wear your protective eclipse glasses, since you shouldn’t stare directly at the sun even during an eclipse.

As this eclipse is going on, the new moon will aspect several planets: Saturn retrograde in Pisces, Uranus retrograde in Gemini, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This jam-packed astrological event will lead to an impactful six-month lunar cycle. The abundance of retrograde energy encourages you to constantly rethink, review, and then revise as you head into the lunar cycle. Saturn retrograde warns against being too loose with your boundaries and responsibilities; Uranus retrograde represents an internalized revolution; Neptune retrograde encourages clarity over idealism; Pluto retrograde inspires death and rebirth as a way to remain somewhat in control and empowered throughout the six-month journey. Overall, this is going to be one hell of a lunar event!

 

🌑  How Can You Navigate the Eclipse Portal?

You might be tempted to set intentions and hold a lunar ritual, but you may want to hold off until the next new moon. Intervening with the eclipse’s energy will only lead to muddied results. Your manifestations, spells, and more may backfire, or worse, they materialize in a completely unprecedented way. So, unless you’re familiar with chaos magick, I would suggest the following instead:

• Pay attention to what comes up three days before and after the eclipse, since this may allude to what will happen during the six-month lunar cycle.
• Keep a log of what happens during this time period. You can journal, jot notes down on your phone, record voice notes, etc. Whatever works for you will help you remember what comes up.
• Take note of changes at work, new health developments, or adjustments to your usual schedule.
• Focus on the real, external changes taking place. Don’t pay any mind to angel numbers or other “omens”… You might just drive yourself crazy with these occurrences rather than make sense of them.
