A partial solar eclipse this weekend, paired with Venus entering the astrological sign of Virgo, will spark major emotional and personal shifts for five zodiac signs.
The partial solar eclipse on September 21, happening under Virgo’s practical and detail-focused energy, will act like a supercharged new moon, pushing people to quit old habits and embrace new beginnings at work and romantically.
Venus, the planet of love and money, is entering Virgo at the same time, meaning the planet is traveling across the sky through this star constellation from Earth’s perspective.
This will make relationships and self-worth feel more serious, encouraging thoughtful reflection but also causing people to risk overthinking or being too picky with their choices.
Virgo, Pisces, Taurus, Libra, and Gemini will be most affected due to their direct connection to Virgo’s energy or Venus’s influence, with each facing unique challenges and opportunities for the next month.
Solar eclipses, when the moon covers the sun, are key in astrology because they act as cosmic turning points, revealing hidden truths and speeding up life changes that usually take months to unfold.
The Virgo sign’s influence makes these events about precision, health, and service, urging everyone to refine their lives and relationships with care and purpose.
The addition of Venus to this cosmic mix will push these five signs to balance their hearts and minds through reflection or even therapy to navigate the eclipse’s intense changes.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos are practical, detail-oriented, and driven by a desire to improve themselves and their surroundings.
The partial solar eclipse in Virgo will spark major breakthroughs in their careers and when it comes to their personal goals, pushing Virgos to embrace new opportunities and let go of their old habits.
However, with Venus entering Virgo on September 19, people born under this sign will feel heightened levels of self-criticism, making them focus on their strengths and possibly consider seeing a therapist to navigate all of their emotional challenges.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
The typical Pisces is empathetic, dreamy, and deeply connected to their emotions and intuition.
The Virgo solar eclipse, occurring in their relationship zone, is expected to bring clarity and fateful shifts in their serious relationships, possibly encouraging an attached Pisces to set healthier boundaries with their partner.
With Venus joining the mix, it’s nudging Pisces to open up in their relationships and deal with their emotions in a more grounded way, instead of just zoning out, which therapist Jaime Bronstein said is vital for romances.
‘Avoiding people doesn’t keep you safe. It just keeps you stuck. Send the note. Ask the question. Share a small piece of your day. Those little moments remind you – connection can still grow,’ Bronstein told the New York Post.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Your average Taurus is a grounded and loyal person who values comfort and the beauty of life.
The solar eclipse in the romance and creativity zones of their astrological chart will inspire new passions or change how they express love, completely shaking up their usual routines.
Venus entering Virgo until October 13 affects their love sector, and it’ll make Taurus more practical in their relationships, encouraging them to share their routines with loved ones.
However, it could also wreak havoc by making a Taurus overthink minor issues in their romances.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libras can be charming, peace-seeking, and focused on harmony when it comes to relationships and aesthetics.
The partial solar eclipse could trigger spiritual awakenings and breakthroughs in matters of love and sex, driving Libras to express their deepest needs to their partners.
With the love planet of Venus in Virgo, however, this cosmic combo could stir up hidden anxieties, pushing Libras search for ways of releasing mental blocks and find inner calm.
‘This season may stir up old worries, but it also offers space to release them. Use this moment as a chance to step back, notice the progress you’ve made, and allow yourself to believe in new possibilities,’ Bronstein recommended.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Geminis are curious, adaptable, and thrive on communication and new ideas.
The Virgo partial solar eclipse will activate deeper self-awareness, helping them shed their fears and embrace emotional clarity.
As Venus enters the picture, the love and money planet will sharpen their analytical side, encouraging clear communication in personal matters, further enhancing the eclipse’s power to transform their lives.
While Venus will leave Virgo in mid-October, the effects of the solar eclipse may last until November.
