Solar Eclipse update 9/21/25
A rare Eclipse that presses collective (de) illusions into personal discernment
This upcoming Eclipse has a couple of beautiful Yods, or Finger of God configurations.*
These configurations carry a trauma signature according to Mark Jones, especially when the apex planet is a personal planet, which becomes a pressure point compelling the individual into a new direction, sometimes through a crisis.
Here is a rare opportunity to transform this traumatic collective experience into something that will individually support civilization to the next level. In this Eclipse, Venus is at the apex of one of the two Yods. She channels the tension of Pluto in Aquarius sextiling Saturn and Neptune, turning the background collective energies into a personal reckoning with value and discernment.
This means that the awareness is now threefold. Individuality dissolves into collective rigid vision through technology, through new techniques, through the mechanics of groupthink. Boundaries dissolve, faith reduces itself into confusion, responsibility is lost in the illusions of sacrifice and victimhood. Spiritual grandiosity rises, the illusion of being chosen or heroic, masking unresolved wounds of identity with false inspiration.
Venus at the apex presses this system into crisis. She creates the tension, she makes it personal. She forces the conversation about value and discernment, about which illusions you invest in, pointing to the necessity of looking inside, relating with clarity, and questioning what is individual truth versus collective projection.
This will set up the background for the years to come, where courageous individuals will lead the way out of darkness.
Yod # Two
When Uranus in Gemini sextiles Saturn and Neptune, it offers a potential energy. Saturn and Neptune represent the collective container of faith, ideals, and boundaries. Uranus disrupts and awakens how we communicate and conceptualize those ideals. This sextile is supportive. It says that new techniques and new thought structures can work with collective reorientation.
Now Mars at 29° critical degree in Libra, in a Yod with this support system, at the apex of the sextile, presses the relational crisis.
Can you enact a will that is not only mine, not only yours, but aligned with this new communicative awakening and this collective restructuring?
Mars becomes the gateway that forces the sextile energies into a personal decision and action.
The crisis is how you integrate your relational values. Are you ready to step out of disempowerment into new perspectives, language, and networks that will redefine how we see ourselves as individuals in a society, not as a blob but as individuals.
Remember that this Mars is ruling the upcoming Neptune Saturn conjunction that will redefine the structures of society. But for that we need personal responsibility.
Last but not least, the Solar Eclipse is a New Moon at the last degree of Virgo.
It is about discerning your life through refinement, the new starting point of how you would like to be of service in the upcoming years.
Nothing is concrete yet, for it is your individual actions that will reshape the landscape of a civilized society or will keep contributing to its detriment.
* A Yod, or Finger of God, happens when two planets are in a sextile, sixty degrees, and both form quincunxes, one hundred fifty or two hundred sixty degrees, to a third planet at the
