2025 New Moon in Virgo 0°22’ x 35th Solar Return x 12H Profection Year
WELCOME BACK TO ECLIPSE SEASON!
*maniacal laughter*
It’s been 5 days since the New Moon in Virgo at 0° whose energies will be amplified come next month’s eclipse season which concludes with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo at 29° next month.
I’m also 4 days into my 35th Solar Return & 12th House Astrological Profection as I’m typing this.
I was admittedly concerned with how this year would go based on everything I was bringing into this Solar Return & what I know about the themes associated with the astrological 12th house which include:
Subconscious
Sacrifice
Sobriety
Spirituality
Surrender
It’s also a collective numerological 9 year (completions, endings) & the year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac (feminine, sheddings).
Naturally, my 9H Virgoan Sun/Mercury & packed Capricornian 1H self wanted to mitigate that concern through predictive analysis using the following tools:
A relocated Solar Return chart
Annual profection
To say that this birthday is going to be hella significant in my life is an understatement since the eclipses bring with them epic fated beginnings & closures, & this particular Solar Return was conjunct this New Moon at the pure, initiatory degree of 0° = a whole new me birthed from me returning to my roots & childhood dreams.
I’ll also be experiencing my Venus (values) & Jupiter (growth) return while 35, & Jupiter is my profected lord of the year soooo…yeah. I look forward to seeing how this plays out, especially with my nodal return also occurring soon.
I’m glad to report that I spent my birthday weekend in such an unbelievably nourishing way that healed my inner child & angsty teen. The versions of me who so desperately wanted to be seen, supported, & celebrated for the weirdo I always was:
Wed, 8/21: My newest business partner treated me to a local Pinxy restaurant I’d been wanting to go to & THEY HAD TAHOOOO!!! *still squealing*
Fri, 8/22-Sat A.M., 8/23: My mom treated the ladies in the fam to massages, a yummy meal, & a Maid Cafe
Sat P.M., 8/23: Hubs unexpectedly got the night off & we were able to see the sold-out Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, & New Found Glory concert together (bands I wanted to see live & mosh to!)
Sun, 8/24: Cosplaying as Yor Forger / Thorn Princess & “Fun Dad” Loid Forger from Spy x Family at Nostalgia Con
ANYWAYS, enough about me.
How is this eclipse season starting for you?
As a reminder, here are the key planets directly influencing this lunation for EVERYONE:
Sun - luminary of purpose, vitality, inner spark/fire, joy, & creative expression - at 0° Virgo
Moon - luminary of comfort, familiarity, memory, cycles, emotional reactivity - at 0° Virgo
Chiron - celestial body highlighting our deepest wounds that we’ve alchemized into medicine - at 26° Aries (Rx)
Uranus - planet of disruption, surprise, innovation, rebellion, & breakthroughs - at 1° Gemini
Saturn - planet of adulting, restriction, tradition, karma - at 0° Aries (Rx)
Neptune - planet of dissolution, sensitivity, & “delulu” - at 1° Aries (Rx)
Pluto - planet of depth & intense transformation - at 1° Aquarius (Rx)
Key aspects:
Conjunctions - blending of energies
Sun conjunct Moon at 0° Virgo
Saturn Rx at 0° conjunct Neptune Rx at 1° Aries
Trines - effortlessly supportive energy that enables
Sun/Moon at 0° Virgo trine Chiron Rx at 26° Aries
Squares - challenging & causes energy to build up in the tension, ultimately catalyzing growth
Sun/Moon at 0° Virgo square with Uranus at 1° Gemini
Inconjunctions (Quincunxes) - incompatibility of energies; one planet may express itself entirely at times while the other is suppressed & vice/versa. A minor aspect, but the underlying tension is palpable enough for things to feel…off.
