A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around intuition, dreams and endings (Pisces). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 29°28′ Pisces or Virgo.
