As summer starts to wind down and the days get a little shorter, the cosmos is bringing an energy shift. From September 7 to 21, we’re entering what astrologers call the Eclipse Corridor, a two-week window marked by a lunar and solar eclipse that’s known for bringing powerful shifts in our lives.
Emotions are set to run high, and for certain zodiac signs, this particular eclipse cycle could be life-changing. “Eclipses are like cosmic plot twists,” explains Polina Arutiunian, astrologer at the spiritual guidance platform Nebula. “They have a way of fast-tracking whatever lessons or changes we’ve been avoiding.”
Eclipse seasons are powerful moments of truth, transformation, and sometimes, beautifully-timed chaos. Here’s what to expect and how to make the most of it, depending on your sign:
Virgo: A relationship reality check
For Virgos, the Eclipse Corridor begins in your 7th house of partnerships, meaning the spotlight is firmly on your relationships, which could be romantic, professional, and everything in between.
Expect new connections, deeper truths, and maybe even an invitation to redefine what love (or loyalty) looks like for you. “This is a time for Virgos to stop settling for dynamics that don’t feel aligned,” says Arutiunian. If someone’s behavior is bothering you, ask yourself what it's mirroring back. Some people may leave, others may enter, all for a reason.
Pro Tip: Say yes to new social invitations. The right person could be just one bold RSVP away.
Pisces: It’s all about YOU
While everyone else might be focused on relationships or career, these eclipses hit your 1st house of identity and self-starts, pushing you to reclaim your independence and stop watering yourself down for others.
“You may realize that certain people in your life are more draining than supportive,” says Arutiunian. “This is your green light to prioritize your own growth.” That might mean starting a bold new project, changing how you present yourself, or even redefining how you speak up for your needs. Whatever it is, it’s time.
Pro Tip: Don’t wait for permission. The next big chapter starts when you decide it does.
Gemini: Big career energy incoming
Geminis, get ready to zoom out and think long-term. The eclipse energy lands in your 10th house of career and public status, and with it comes an open door to level up professionally.
New job offers, promotions, or even the courage to finally make that big career switch could all be on the table. “It’s time for Geminis to stop clinging to what’s comfortable,” says Arutiunian. “This energy wants you to move forward, even if it means letting go of your safety net.”
Pro Tip: Think like a strategist. Where do you want to be in a year? Start taking steps now.
Sagittarius: Home is where the healing happens
For Sagittarius, this Eclipse Corridor turns the focus inward, specifically on your 4th house of home, roots, and emotional safety. Whether it’s your literal home or your emotional one, you’re being asked to pause, reflect, and realign.
“This energy can bring clarity around your foundational needs,” says Arutiunian. That might mean mending relationships with family, finding a new place to live, or letting go of old beliefs about what ‘success’ should look like.
Pro Tip: Journal it out. What does ‘home’ mean to you right now, and what needs to shift to support that?
