Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: What It Means for You September 7, 2025, 19:08 BST. The sky adorns itself with a blood-tinged veil when the Pisces Full Moon rises behind Earth’s shadow. On September 7th, this lunar eclipse whispers of endings that are also beginnings, a boundary between what must be released and what is poised to emerge through the cracks in the soul’s armour. The wave now cresting is neither gentle nor violent. It is transformative, slipping through the edges of what the mind understands and drawing us into the unspeakable truth of our own depths.
This is act two of a narrative that began under the lunar eclipse of September 17th, 2024. If that eclipse nudged something open in you, this one seeks closure. The Moon, moving into conjunction with Neptune and the North Node, and opposing the Sun at the South Node, draws us into a karmic axis of release and surrender. The North Node in Pisces unleashes longing, restlessness, expansive compassion, and a mysterious appetite for what is both invisible and inner. Opposite that, the South Node in Virgo contends with its insistence on control, facts and perfection. The eclipse invites an alchemy: to refine without holding tight, to surrender into clarity without dissolving into sorrow.
It belongs to a family of eclipses along the Virgo-Pisces axis that will continue to evolve through 2027. This isn’t a single chapter but an epic tale with multiple plot twists. Each eclipse brings a new act of the story into play. If you feel disoriented, creatively blocked, or emotionally spun out, take it as a cue to pause. Tune in. Check in with your feelings around your creative life, your spiritual path, your illusions, your ideals. Who or what is entering your world right now? Who or what is leaving? These are not casual comings and goings. They are the fateful visitors and departures that only eclipse season can bring. Pay attention to the mythical currents. A new role may be forming within you. A chapter may be closing, as a ripening leads to new avenues and opportunities.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon reads: “In a quiet moment, a creative individual experiences the flow of inspiration.” Let the stillness become your teacher. Creativity may arrive softly, through a phrase, an image, an undertow in your chest. There’s no need to chase it. You need only to open. Your heart can be both the river and the vessel. There is a deep sacredness to this symbol. It points us inward, past the noise of the world, past the hyper-analytical Virgo mind, into a space where inspiration is not summoned but received. A space where creativity becomes holy communion. This symbol suggests the whisper of a muse that does not shout or compete. It asks for receptivity, not effort. It’s from that quietude, that something truly divine may emerge. It is a potent image for this eclipse, where the Moon’s full light is shadowed, not to obscure but to highlight what cannot be seen by the naked eye. The creative process itself becomes the ritual. The act of listening becomes the ceremony.
Globally, the tides mirror this lunar moment. The North Node’s shift from Aries into Pisces earlier this year signalled a collective story pivot, from independence toward interconnection, from self-sovereignty to spiritual responsibility. This eclipse amplifies that tone. We are being summoned toward empathy, to feel each other’s invisible chords. Underneath the headlines, subtle shifts ripple. Institutions may soften or fracture. The world may inch toward healing practices. We may see a swell of creative resurgence, not for commerce but for the soul. Collectively, the choice is between control and connection, between efficiency and feeling. This lunation leans us into the wisdom of dreams, the truth of tears, the knowledge stored in the non-verbal.
Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and co-ruled by Neptune. Its nature is oceanic, dreamy, porous. It longs to merge, to dissolve, to love beyond definition. But this same gift can also become its undoing. When Pisces lacks containment, it absorbs too much. It becomes overly sensitive, idealistic to a fault, deluded by its own fantasies. The challenge of this eclipse lies here: how do we hold an open heart without losing ourselves? How do we stay receptive without becoming overwhelmed? This lunar eclipse is an opportunity to revisit those questions with renewed maturity. The task is not to shut down or shut off but to set sturdy, soulful boundaries. Let your compassion be deep but directed. Let your dreams be fluid but rooted. Don’t abandon reality but rather infuse it with wonder.
Mercury, exalted in Virgo, arms us with discernment. From September 2nd to 18th, its transit highlights where attention matters and where it may deceive us. It forms a quincunx with Saturn, asking us to adjust the structures of belief that once felt safe. It squares Uranus, inviting sudden insights that disrupt our sense of normal. It gifts a sextile to Jupiter in Cancer, urging us to weave emotional intelligence into our thinking, our communications, our structures. Soon after, Mercury’s opposition to Neptune will blur fact and fantasy, reminding us that clarity is born of both logic and intuition. This sequence of Mercury aspects creates a unique climate: where analysis and dreams meet, where form is refined in order to express the inexpressible. For writers, healers, ceremonialists, and artists, this is sacred ground for practising your arts.
Jupiter in Cancer trades in tender expansiveness, forming a soft trine with the eclipsed Moon and nodal axis. This energy encourages us to anchor healing in emotional belonging. To remember that home is not just an address but an inner field of trust, a sanctuary. Our lineage, our culture, unseen matriarchs and ancestral nerves may awaken softly now and ask for remembrance. This trine also brings a sense of benevolence and subtle protection to what could otherwise feel overwhelming. Jupiter reminds us that spiritual growth does not require suffering. It can be nurtured through love, nourishment, and safety. The emotional waters of Cancer and Pisces flow together, creating space for forgiveness of self, of others, of the past.
The lunar event is the second within a pivotal eclipse season that will conclude on September 21 with a solar eclipse in Virgo at a critical twenty-ninth degree. The release initiated under the Pisces Full Moon builds into a rebirth through Virgo’s lens of purpose, self-care and practical devotion. Between the two, we are suspended in transition. Not called to perform, but to practice presence. Retrograde planets deepen this invitation. Saturn’s return to Pisces softens its earlier friction in Aries. And yet its retrograde motion asks for revisiting the scaffolding of our spiritual lives. Its influence tests whether we have created soulful structure or buried our devotion in discipline. Uranus in Gemini has just stationed retrograde, energizing deep inner changes in how we relate, learn, adapt. Its retrograde stir might feel destabilizing, but it invites us into frames of connection that align the mind with the wild tide of the soul.
Under this dense, layered sky, pause is sacred. The eclipse stretches across eighty-two minutes of totality. This sacred threshold is a liminal space. Hydrate. Walk near water. Let any grief or emotion be received, not rescued. Letters may come. Visions may leak through. If you cannot name what moves you, sit with the tenderness, and the naming will arrive.
This eclipse is a portal into devotion disguised as heartbreak, into sovereignty held softly. It asks us to trust the tide of consciousness, to let our hearts rearrange their priorities. Infallible strength is not required. What is required is your attention. If you can feel it, then it is enough. Your presence now is a prayer.
Let the stillness speak. Let the tides carry what no longer belongs. Let inspiration be your true north. Wishing you all infinite full Moon love and blessings.

Shamanic Ritual: “Listening to the Waters”
Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – September 7th, 2025
This ritual is a prayer in motion. A moment to slip between the worlds. To dissolve the static of modern life and return to the still, soft pulse of the sacred.
Begin after sunset, somewhere you can be undisturbed. Ideally, near water, a river, the sea, a spring, or simply your bath. If that’s not possible, a bowl of water or even a glass. The element is listening.
1. Create your circle.
Cleanse the space with smoke or sound. Lay out items that speak to the Pisces archetype: shells, sacred waters, a dream journal, music, poetry, your oracle cards, a candle in sea-glass or soft white. Gather something to write with.
2. Call in the directions.
Face each cardinal point, inviting the spirits of East, South, West, and North. Then call in the spirits of Above (your guides, the stars), Below (the ancestors, the roots), and Within (your own soul). Ask them to be with you in the dreaming.
3. Breathe with the moon.
Sit or lie comfortably. Gaze at the moon if visible. If not, close your eyes and sense her light within. Breathe deeply. With every exhale, soften. Let your body become a vessel. Feel the tide within you.
4. Water blessing + release.
Whisper into the water what you’re ready to release. Unfinished stories. Old longings. Grief that hasn’t yet found its voice. Then bless the water with a prayer of gratitude. If you’re by running water, release it into the current. If not, pour it into the earth or your bath. Let it be received.
5. Channel the inspiration.
With pen and paper, ask:
What is ready to emerge through me now?
What dreams are waiting in the silence?
Let yourself write or draw freely. Don’t edit. Let the moon move your hand. Allow yourself to trust what wants to come through.
6. Close the circle.
Thank the spirits. Extinguish the candle. Drink something grounding — nettle tea, cacao, warm oat milk. Hum or sing a lullaby to yourself. Go to bed early. Sleep is sacred under a Pisces Moon. Your dreams are part of the ritual.
So mote it be….
