Total solar eclipse in Virgo: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around work routines, health and details (Virgo). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Virgo–Pisces axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 0°35′ Virgo or Pisces.
It is the New Moon of August 2044.
