It is exact at 19:54 UTC at 29°05' Virgo, the last degree of the sign, with the Moon 397,116 km away. Saturn and Neptune stand opposite the Moon, while Uranus and Pluto form trines.

Virgo is the mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, associated with work, daily routines, skill and careful attention to detail. The tradition treats eclipses near the south node as moments of release, and the opposition from Saturn and Neptune is read as tension between structure and uncertainty. A practical suggestion is to let go of one habit or task that no longer earns its place in your day.
