The fall’s eclipses bookend the equinox with a massive rebooting of all of our relationship equations. The first blast comes from the 2015 Virgo New Moon, a solar eclipse that resets boundaries and habits and impels us toward sane, healthy choices. It points us to the future, while the Aries lunar eclipse to follow slams the door on the past.

Expect this 2015 Virgo New Moon to pack a wallop. It is escalating impulses to clean house, to reorganize, to redraw borders, and to get sober. More than the eclipse status is behind those drives. This is the first time in 12 years that the Moon has been new in Virgo with Jupiter in the sign as well. Jupiter increases everything he touches, and while he is not technically close enough to our 2015 Virgo New Moon to count, his recent shift in mode is already having an impact that will carry over into the Moon’s influence.

Only a month in the sign of Virgo, Jupiter has already switched the vibe from long, hot summer to back-to-work. Improvement projects are everywhere we look: in the mirror, in our homes and offices, in our schedules and, most importantly, in all our dealings. We’re newly aware of our proximity to other people during the 2015 Virgo New Moon, and especially their dramas — and we are losing both patience with and willingness to go anywhere near them. (That Facebook meme, “Not my circus; not my monkeys,” has only begun its invasion of social media. Just watch.)

As a result, we’re already inclined toward this solar eclipse’s mission as it kicks in. We are beyond willing to let go, to ditch behaviors and regimens, and to eject anything that no longer feels healthy or safe, with the subtlety of a guillotine, if need be. Review work we did this summer that has brought us to this point, as taskmaster Saturn allowed one last look at issues of joint resources, reciprocity, return on investment, trust and intimacy that were not adequately dispatched during his time in Scorpio in 2013-2014. As this eclipse takes place, he’s sitting in the last minutes of the final degree of that most extreme sign, a zodiacal location so finely honed it can split a hair simply by moving toward it.
