Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: Let Go

On the 7th of September 2025 The Moon will be swallowed by the Earth’s shadow. A total lunar eclipse. A moment when The Sun, Earth, and Moon align so precisely that the Earth blocks the Sun’s light, turning The Moon blood red. For a time, the familiar face of the Moon disappears.

Eclipses have always unsettled us. They are not ordinary lunations. They are turning points. The light disappears, and with it, the illusion of certainty. Something hidden is revealed. Something old reaches its limit. Something is taken away so that something else might be given.

The Archetypes at Play

This eclipse falls in Pisces, joined by Saturn who has only just returned to the sign. The God of Time lends gravity to what is unfolding. This is a serious moment in time. We would do well to pay it the attention it deserves.

Pisces is the ocean without edges, the vastness of compassion and surrender, the realm of faith and dissolution. When the Moon is eclipsed here, it is as if the tides of memory and longing are pulled back to reveal what has been lying beneath the waves. Saturn says: see it clearly now. Do not look away.

And yet, this is a North Node eclipse, the head of the dragon. It is not simply an ending. It is an opening. The North Node points us toward what we are becoming, even if the way is unclear. The eclipse may feel like loss, but it is also guidance. What is taken now is what cannot travel with you into the next chapter.

Collective Themes For This Lunar Eclipse

Astrology tells us these events matter collectively, as well as personally. A Pisces eclipse speaks to the collective need for compassion, to the dissolving of illusions, and to the sobering presence of Saturn. We may see truths revealed in our shared stories around water, faith, health, or hidden suffering.

Collective tides turn at eclipses. What has been swept aside or ignored returns to view. What we have pretended will “get better soon” must now be faced as it is. Saturn insists on accountability.

Personal Invitation

Where Pisces falls in your chart is the place you are asked to surrender, to release illusion, and to build new faith on firmer ground.

• If Pisces rules your fourth house, it may be family or home.

• If your tenth, perhaps your work in the world.

• If your seventh, relationships and partnerships.

• Each house tells its own story. Each of us is touched. Each of us is asked to let something dissolve.

So what does it mean in the texture of our days? It means dreams surfacing. Emotions rising like a tide. The past pressing close. It may mean grief, but grief that cleanses. It may mean confusion, but confusion that asks us to trust rather than control.

Ritual and Practice

The Gods remind us: endings and beginnings are not separate. The Moon's comforting light disappears, and then returns. Light is swallowed, and then it is reborn. The eclipse is both loss and renewal.

Perhaps the only task is to be present. To feel what comes. To notice what leaves. To honour what cannot continue. And to trust that the sea is carrying you where you need to go.

Simple ways to mark the moment:

• Light a candle and name what you are ready to release.

• Pour water onto the earth and let it carry your prayers.

• Write down the illusions you are leaving behind, and bless them before letting them go.

So what do we do with it?

The last Aquarius Full Moon widened our view, helping us release what stood in the way of being true to ourselves. The Virgo New Moon asked us to come back to devotion, to tend our own flame with care. And now this Pisces Total Lunar Eclipse draws us into the liminal space between what is no longer and what is not yet.

Eclipses are turning points of fate, moments when the soul redirects us toward what we came here to live. This eclipse carries the energy of destiny. It strips away what no longer belongs on your path.

You may feel the purging on every level: body, mind, heart, spirit. Relationships, boundaries, values, possessions, the use of your time and energy are under review. Illusions fall away. The stories of “maybe it will change” or “I’ll wait until the right time” no longer hold. What is revealed now is what must be faced.

The task is not to resist but to see clearly. To accept what is, rather than cling to what might be. To let yourself be reshaped by the tide.

✨ Advice for this Eclipse:

• Notice where you are gripping or clinging. Ask gently: is this serving me, or is it keeping me small?

• Honour what is ending, but do not mistake it for loss. It is clearing space for your next becoming.

• Create ritual for release, water, writing, prayer, whatever helps you embody the letting go.

• Trust the North Node’s pull. Even if you cannot see the path, your soul knows where it is leading.

The Moon disappears, but She always returns. So too will you.

✨ An Invitation

Eclipses are never just about one day. They are part of larger cycles - 18 months of unfolding across an axis of your chart, and echoes of cycles that began 18–19 years ago. They mark the turning points in our stories, the moments when fate takes the reins.

It can feel unsettling. There is the sense that something bigger than us is moving the pieces. Astrology doesn’t cancel that truth, but it does help us meet it differently. It shows us where the cycles are landing in our lives. It gives language to what is shifting. It helps us see that even the most unexpected turns are part of a larger pattern, one that carries meaning and purpose.

Astrology can’t stop change. But it can help you trust the process. It can show you what part of your life is being reshaped, and how to meet it with more awareness, grace, and courage.

If you’d like to explore how this eclipse cycle is moving through your chart and look at what chapter is closing, what new direction is opening, I’d love to hold that space with you.
