September Eclipses 2025: A Call to Release & Refine
Get ready for a potent astrological period this September, as we navigate a powerful eclipse season! This cycle continues the two-year series on the Pisces/Virgo axis, which began last fall. On September 7th, a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces will stir our emotional depths, followed by a Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21st. The influence of each eclipse can be felt for approximately two weeks before and after its exact date.
Eclipse seasons are times when lunar energy is magnified, bringing heightened sensitivity, intense moods, and big feelings to the surface. This will be especially noticeable under the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, a water sign known for its empathy and intuition. We'll be more prone to absorbing the energies of others, making it crucial to protect your energy by setting clear boundaries and stepping back if you feel drained. This eclipse will also illuminate areas where we might be holding onto unmanifested goals or unrealized dreams, potentially bringing a wave of sadness. It's vital to sit with these feelings rather than numbing out, as embracing any sadness can reveal pathways to solutions.
How to Navigate the Pisces Lunar Eclipse:
Create Space for Reflection: Carve out time for solitude, meditation, and journaling to process your emotions and connect with your intuition.
Embrace Forgiveness: Release resentment or bitterness from past mistakes, both for yourself and others.
Connect with Your Spirituality: Deepen your spiritual practice and explore new ways of understanding the universe.
Be Gentle with Yourself: Prioritize self-care and allow yourself to feel and process intense emotions without judgment.
The two-week period between these eclipses, known as the "eclipse portal," is a time to pay close attention to messages and guidance from both your inner and outer worlds. Your dreams may become particularly active, offering insights into your next steps. Look for synchronicities, chance meetings, and new connections, as they can all point the way forward in this next stage of your journey.
The Solar Eclipse / New Moon in Virgo on September 21st is a rare "black moon"—the second new moon in a row in the same sign, amplifying Virgo's themes. This eclipse invites us to discern which routines are truly serving us and which are holding us back. It's a powerful time to become aware of how perfectionism might be hindering our progress, often standing in the way of taking bold steps toward our dreams. This eclipse season is a unique opportunity to find balance between going with the flow (Pisces) and maintaining routines that propel us towards our goals (Virgo).
How to Navigate the Virgo Solar Eclipse:
Refine Your Routines: Use Virgo's analytical energy to assess your daily habits and work processes. Identify what's working and what needs to be adjusted for greater efficiency and well-being.
Release Perfectionism: Challenge the need for everything to be "perfect" before taking action. Embrace the wisdom that progress, not perfection, is the path to growth.
Prioritize Practical Self-Care: Focus on practical, tangible ways to support your health and daily life, ensuring your well-being is a foundation for your aspirations.
Seek Realistic Solutions: Confront any dissatisfaction by focusing on what is within your control to fix, and consciously let go of what is not.
Remember, eclipses are powerful catalysts for change, initiating a ripple effect that can be felt for several months. Embrace the transformative energy of this eclipse season to illuminate your path towards greater self-awareness, personal growth, and a deeper connection to your soul's purpose. Pay close attention to the subtle shifts and synchronicities unfolding in your life during this time, as they may hold valuable clues and guidance for your journey ahead.
