The solar eclipse in Virgo arrives at 5:03 AM. This is an intense day—expect to feel emotional and to see things in a new way or learn some surprising information. A fresh start is coming, but like most new beginnings, it can come with some teary goodbyes. The vibe is stressful and confusing due to the Moon's clash with taskmaster Saturn at 6:25 AM, with hazy Neptune at 7:33 AM, and with aggressive Mars at 2:39 PM. The Moon mingles with the lord of the underworld, Pluto, at 3:59 PM, reminding us of our power, but the Sun in Virgo clashes with Saturn at 11:22 PM, pushing us to stay grounded in reality. All times EST.

Aries

Mercury retrograde isn't making it easy for you, Aries. You're running into delays on your commute and you're feeling disorganized. Today's eclipse in Virgo will make it very obvious to you which responsibilities you need to drop and which bad habits you need to break.

Taurus

Today's solar eclipse is in fellow Earth sign Virgo, and it's activating the sector of your chart that rules your love life, your creativity, and having fun in general. You're very sensitive today about all these themes—changes are in the air.

Gemini

Not only is your ruling planet Mercury retrograde, making your life a little more complicated, but today also brings a solar eclipse in Earth sign Virgo. You're undergoing a huge transformation at home or with your family.

Cancer

Because you're ruled by the Moon, eclipses are incredibly intense times for you. Today's solar eclipse in Virgo is major for communication in your life, and some shocking news could come your way.

Leo

Today's solar eclipse in Virgo is activating the financial sector of your chart, and you'll feel this energy on an emotional level too. Self-esteem issues may pop up today. Don't force a fun mood this evening—it will backfire.

Virgo

They call you many things: Some say you're way too picky and you need to chill, while others recognize you for the flawless Virgo that you are. But what do you think of you? Today's eclipse in your sign will be highly transformative.

Libra

Eclipses are always exhausting, but today's solar eclipse in Virgo will really wipe you out. Spend time alone in meditation and repose, Libra. Communication is difficult today, so don't even bother.

Scorpio

As the most intense sign in the zodiac, you're not afraid of a solar eclipse (like the one we have today in Virgo)! Well, maybe you should be a little afraid: Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, too. Big shifts are happening in your social circle.

Sagittarius

A Sagittarius without a vision for their future is a sad Sag indeed. You've been trying to work out which way you're going, and Mercury retrograde in Virgo isn't helping. Today's solar eclipse in Virgo will shake things up and give you new information.

Capricorn

Today's solar eclipse in Virgo will be an emotional event for everyone, but it's putting you in a very philosophical mood. News from faraway places, or concerning school or travel, is coming your way—but it may be delayed thanks to Mercury retrograde.
