Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: A Portal to Your Highest Self
It’s been a couple of weeks since we last connected, how are you feeling? I hope Virgo season has been treating you well. While Virgo season often highlights our work, daily routines, and habits, it also focuses on our health. This time of year can bring up physical ailments or mental exhaustion, making it harder to relax. There’s so much we want to get done, but our energy levels may not be in sync with those ambitions.
If, like me, you've been dealing with health matters lately, you're not alone. I’ve found that when I finally surrender and give my body the rest it needs, there’s often an emotional release that follows. It’s as if my body is urging me to process what I’ve been ignoring. The past week was one of those moments for me, as I experienced a lot of emotional baggage bubbling up to the surface for release. This is one way Virgo season works through us—it digs deep, asking us to purge and cleanse on both a physical and emotional level.
This couldn’t have come at a better time, as last week we moved through some pretty intense shadow energy with Venus conjunct the South Node in Libra. It coincided with the New Moon in Virgo, which also kicked off the fall eclipse season. We're now building towards an incredibly powerful Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on Tuesday, September 17th.
Last week was likely a time of release, especially within relationships, including our relationship with ourselves. Venus on the South Node was urging us to let go of old wounds, behaviors, and patterns that no longer serve us. Virgo’s need to get things done may have felt stalled as many of us were drained, tired, or even sick. But that shadow work was vital to prepare for what's ahead. This week, clarity is finally beginning to emerge. While we might not have all the answers yet, things are becoming a bit less “stuck.” The eclipse portal is wide open, and spiritual messages are starting to trickle in. Have you noticed any signs or synchronicities? These glimpses into new timelines will become stronger as we approach the eclipse.
The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces will bring a surge of energy, pushing us to release more of the old while giving us a sneak peek into what 2025 will bring when the Nodes of the Moon shift from the Aries-Libra axis to the Pisces-Virgo axis in January. This eclipse is a pivotal moment—brace yourself, we're about to shift directions.
This Week's Key Astrological Events
Sun in Virgo square Jupiter in Gemini (Sept 12th): We might feel overwhelmed with all that’s on our plate. Prioritizing can be tricky, and burnout is real. Just remember, you can only do so much.
Venus in Libra trine Jupiter in Gemini (Sept 14th): This aspect brings a lighthearted, social energy—perfect for networking, connecting with friends, lovers, or indulging in beauty and pleasure in your local environment.
Mars in Cancer T-Squares the Nodes of the Moon (Sept 15th): This tense aspect might force us to take emotional action, particularly regarding our personal desires and freedom, and may feel like the path splitting into two. Which direction will you go? What path will you choose?
Venus in Libra opposes Chiron Rx in Aries (Sept 16th): This energy encourages healing around where we feel inadequate or insecure. It’s a call to trust ourselves and release the need for external validation from others.
Mercury in Virgo opposes Saturn Rx in Pisces (Sept 17th): Communications or thoughts may feel blocked or strained. It’s a good time to pause and reflect rather than push through.
The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
Happening at 25 degrees of Pisces on September 17th, this Lunar Eclipse is about the balance between the tangible (Virgo) and the intangible (Pisces). The Sun in Virgo illuminates what we can see, do, organize, and work towards, while the Moon in Pisces connects us to the unseen, the unconscious, our intuition, and spiritual knowing. With the Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces, this eclipse might feel like a spiritual awakening, offering us access to our higher selves and the blueprints for the future.
Neptune has been in Pisces for over a decade and is now nearing the end of this cycle. This eclipse gives us a preview of what’s to come when the North Node (and Neptune) shift into Pisces in 2025. It’s a time to find balance between what's logical, practical, and rational, while sinking deeper into the cosmic messages you’re receiving, as these subtle insights are guiding you toward a new chapter.
The Bigger Cosmic Story Unfolding
In addition to the potent energy of this eclipse, the outer planets are also playing a significant role in the background, further cementing that a much larger cosmic narrative is at play. Neptune in Pisces is sextiling Pluto in Capricorn, and both are working in harmony with Uranus in Taurus. These connections signal deep, transformative changes that may feel subtle now but will become more apparent as time goes on.
Meanwhile, Saturn in Pisces is in a semisquare with Pluto, adding another layer of pressure for us to build something lasting from the lessons we've been learning since it began it's transit through Pisces in March of 2023. Jupiter in Gemini is still in a square with Saturn, amplifying this push and pull between our responsibilities + limitations and our desire for expansion + growth. All these planets are working together to lay the groundwork for the significant shifts that will occur in 2025. It’s incredibly rare to have several outer planets transition into new signs in the same year—the energy we’re experiencing now is part of a larger story that will unfold over the coming weeks, months, and years.
The people, projects, and experiences you’re engaging with now are not just random occurrences—they’re threads in the fabric of your evolving path. Pay attention to the shifts happening in your life, as they’re likely linked to this greater cosmic journey we’re all on.
Reflection for the Eclipse
What are you ready to release and dissolve? What emotional baggage are you carrying that’s no longer serving you? This Lunar Eclipse is a powerful time to let go of anything that’s been weighing you down—particularly limiting thoughts, beliefs, and areas of life where you're not trusting your intuitive guidance. As you create space by releasing the old, you’re making room for new opportunities and spiritual growth. Take a moment to reflect on where you feel blocked or limited and allow this energy to guide you towards trust, surrender, and better alignment.
