HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO 2025

The details of many of your past deeds have been returning. This began in January of this year and will continue until July of 2026. If what is coming back to you is at least understandable or acceptable, then you’ve probably done a good job following the values and lessons that you’ve come here to learn. This is a karmic full cycle that every sign goes through every 26 years but at different times. The major focus is all about Virgo’s lessons involving who you are serving and who is serving you.

 

On the other side of service is being compassionate and sensitive. You might say this is a validation of where we stand in being balanced in their use. If we offer too much or not enough, it will essentially become a reset. Are we oversensitive to others? Ourselves? Or are we as insensitive as a stone? This time will correct any imbalances we may have in handling these qualities.

 

One of the most important focuses most of us might not realize involves our compassion and sensitivity for ourselves. We’ve all been beat over the head about considering others and their needs. But our culture and religion may have made us so conscious about what others need that many of us have forgotten to take care of ourselves. For all of you first responders and Florence Nightingales, it’s time to consider your own needs. Understand that an empty gas tank is of no use to anyone. For those of you who feel that it’s more important to be practical than consider others’ preferences, this will also be a reset where you learn that the feelings of others are also important.

 

Your career is also going through an unpredictable period. Rather than falling into multitasking to an extreme, better you should process the deluge of information that you are getting from the world and more carefully consider your choices about where you want to be and how you want to use what you have. What might make this difficult is that these choices may be getting all tangled with your service and compassion lessons. This is no accident. It’s all coming at the same time so you may rebalance yourself. Rather than digging in, pull back a little and take a wider view of where you are and what you want. Being useful must work in harmony with being observant.

 

Security is important but sometimes we need to move past our comfort zones. Virgo is one of the four mutable or flexible signs. This experience is teaching us to adapt to new patterns and move past our insecurities. We can either go with it or go kicking and screaming. But the point is, we will go whether we resist or not…


SEPTEMBER 2025 ASTROLIGHTS


This will be a busy month. On the 1st, Saturn moves back into Pisces. On the 6th, Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini. On the 7th we have a lunar eclipse in Pisces and on the 21st we have a solar eclipse at 29 critical degrees of Virgo. Needless to say, we will have to backpeddle a bit from our prior progress and reassert our values.

 

Many of the issues we have been dealing with, coming from people claiming helplessness and persecution, have returned into the spotlight. It’s important that we hold to our recently regained values and make those who claim irrational persecution and racism respect the freedoms and privileges that all of us have had and then lost in 2021. We are finally returning to honoring the family, nationalism and tradition. We must not let this slip away again. The lunar eclipse in Pisces is a confirmation that the momentum of this “underdog force” is at an ebb and will continue to fall away. Merit is, thankfully, again becoming the dominant mindset.     


Uranus’ retrograde in Gemini mainly will rehash our impending issues concerning A.I. Its retrograde will be bringing forward its positive uses and its possible abuses. Uranus’ tight trine with Pluto in Aquarius and grand trining with Mars in Libra brings forth our issues concerning China and their withholding of the many important imports that the last administration allowed us to become dependent on.

 

The solar eclipse in Virgo on the 21st is a separate animal. This emphasizes the crisis we have been encountering concerning who we serve and why. We’ve had a short journey away from looking at the value of family and emphasizing personal preferences over how we deal with the world and we’ve gotten a bird’s eye view of how an attitude of being truly selfish is really not how we want to be. Although we want personal accomplishments and success, we have found that our recent social journey is not a better option than feeling the closeness and support that a balanced traditional family rapport can give us. We all want some form of independence, but we can now see that we must balance it against the lineage and traditions that give us purpose, direction and usefulness. It’s time now to strike a balance between the two. We can never know what we’ve lost until we feel ourselves without it. Thankfully this diversion has only been temporary…
