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 North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Pisces–Virgo axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 9°54′ Pisces or Virgo.
