Anxiety and illness: what to expect from the eclipse on September 21, what time does it start, in which sign
On September 21, 2025, a unique solar eclipse will occur, which will close the so-called autumn eclipse corridor. The current astronomical event is called the "equinox eclipse" because it occurs just before the autumnal equinox. Astronomers believe that such phenomena can affect people, causing emotional arousal and provoking mental disorders. The cosmic influence of an eclipse affects various aspects of life, and its observation is often associated with changes in health and mood.
Solar eclipse on September 21, 2025: when will it start, will it be visible in Russia
A partial solar eclipse will occur on September 21, 2025. Its maximum phase will occur at 22:42 Moscow time, when the Moon will cover up to 85% of the Sun's disk. The total duration of the eclipse will be about four and a half hours, starting at 20:30 and ending at 00:53. This eclipse is the last one in 2025.
A shadow on the Sun can be seen in some regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The best conditions for observation will be in the South Pacific Ocean, including the coast of New Zealand, Macquarie Island in Australia and the coastal regions of Antarctica. There will be no solar eclipse in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
The September 2025 solar eclipse is unique in its own way. It is called the "equinox eclipse" because the shadow will fall on the Sun just before the day of the autumnal equinox, when day and night will last almost the same. The autumnal equinox in September traditionally marks the beginning of astronomical autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. This coincidence gives the event a special symbolism. In the field of astrology, it is believed that it can have an impact on people's health and stimulate change.
The astrological phenomenon will complete the so—called September eclipse corridor, a period of time when successive solar and lunar eclipses are observed against the background of the orbital motion in space of the Earth and the Moon, bringing such strong emotional excitement. This eclipse corridor became the second one in 2025. The first one, which began on March 7 and lasted until April 5, already included solar and lunar eclipses. In September, the eclipse cycle continued with a total lunar eclipse on September 7, and will end with a partial solar eclipse on the 21st.
After the eclipse on September 21, 2025, the next solar eclipse will take place on February 17, 2026 and will be annular, observed mainly in Antarctica. However, the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, which will be visible in Russia, Iceland and Spain, will be more significant for observers. This eclipse would have attracted more attention if it had not coincided with the summer holiday season in the Northern Hemisphere.
Anna Shamarova, an ophthalmologist at the Happy Look optician's network, told Izvestia that monitoring of the phenomenon should only be carried out with special eye protection products. She explained that the retina of the eye resembles a film: if too much light hits it, it can simply "burn out." The process is called solar retinopathy, in which retinal damage occurs caused by direct sunlight.
— Since there are no pain receptors in the eye, the person will not feel that something went wrong. After watching a solar eclipse without specialized protection, after a few hours or days, he may feel a deterioration in vision: dark spots often appear, and the picture becomes blurred. You may also develop hypersensitivity to light, headaches and eye pain," the expert shared.
According to her, watching the sun without protection affects the health of all people, but for those with certain eye diseases, the risks are even higher. For example, in cataracts, a damaged lens diffuses light, which can enhance the effect of "blinding" and impair vision. People who have undergone eye surgery should also pay special attention to the problem, since in this case the lens becomes transparent and does not protect the retina from ultraviolet radiation.
Anna Shamarova said that special glasses with filters that block most of the sunlight, including harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays, are best suited for observing astronomical phenomena. These are not classic sunglasses. It is absolutely forbidden to look at the solar eclipse through standard sunglasses, photographic film or other household items, because this can lead to temporary and prolonged visual impairment, as well as irreversible consequences.
The eclipse in September 2025: in which sign
Solar eclipses have attracted the attention of mankind since ancient times, and often shadows falling on a star from space were perceived as dangerous omens.
The solar eclipse of September 21, 2025 takes place in the 29th degree of Virgo, which gives it special significance in astrology.: It is associated with the completion of old cycles and preparation for new beginnings, and affects both general emotional arousal and mental disorders.
The eclipse corridor is suitable for cleansing, reviewing life priorities and setting new goals. The eclipse will also occur near the southern node of the moon, which means that people need to let go of old karmic ties and move forward with new intentions.
At this time, it is not necessary to make important decisions and start new projects, astrologer Elena Pronichkina told Izvestia. The ideal option, she said, would be to spend the day in a calm, routine mode and devote time to a leisurely walk in nature, meditation, cleaning the house and freeing up space from old things.
— An eclipse is the time for the completion of processes, so do not cling to what is leaving your life — relationships, habits, people — but let it go with gratitude, — said the astrologer.
The expert also gave a specific forecast for all zodiac signs for this day.
Aries has an active sphere of helping and serving people, competition, work and daily routine. That is why a solar eclipse is a time for effective solution of accumulated tasks, fulfillment of obligations and careful attention to one's health and physical condition.

Leo focuses on the topics of material well-being, the systematization of income and expenses, and the revision of attitudes towards money. Leo should study the topic of financial planning and avoid impulsive purchases and spending. Health is also worth taking care of: it is not recommended to abuse food and alcohol, because it can provoke mental disorders.
Virgo in the eclipse corridor should focus on personal needs and goals. This is a time when it is important to declare your desires, set clear personal boundaries, and direct energy towards self-realization. However, during this period, difficulties may arise in mutual understanding with a partner.
It is important for Libra to pay attention to their inner world, spiritual searches, and work with the subconscious mind.

Pisces needs to focus on the area of partnerships. The development of business cooperation and the strengthening of existing ties is favorable, as well as new acquaintances will be successful.
