Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
September 7, 2025 @ 11:10am PT/ 2:10pm ET
Clearing Space for What’s Next
On Sunday, September 7, 2025, a total lunar eclipse in Pisces graces the sky, offering a profound moment of reckoning and release.
Lunar eclipses are turning points that mark endings, revelations, and emotional climaxes that feel written into our soul’s story.
This one arrives at 15° Pisces, directly opposing the Sun in Virgo, highlighting the tension between order and surrender, control and trust, tangible details and unseen dreams.
Pisces is the zodiac’s final sign, the archetype of dissolution, compassion, and transcendence. When the Moon eclipses here, it signals a chapter closing; often one we’ve been carrying unconsciously. What we’ve avoided, denied, or idealized may now surface with clarity.
The emotional tide is high, urging us to wash away attachments that no longer belong to the person we are becoming.
This eclipse is less about “doing” and more about “allowing.” Virgo reminds us to ground into rituals and discernment, while Pisces asks us to soften and release.
Together, they weave a story of purification: letting go of perfectionism, judgment, and outdated beliefs, so that healing, intuition, and soulful alignment can take root. The truth is, something in our inner or outer world has run its course.
This eclipse is the cosmic permission slip to finally let it go.
Breakdown: Sub-themes Emerging from the Eclipse
The End of Illusion
Pisces governs dreams, imagination, and the unseen. This eclipse may expose where we’ve been deceiving ourselves, clinging to fantasies, relationships, or narratives that kept us comfortable but not honest. When illusions dissolve, clarity may sting at first, but it also liberates.
The Virgo–Pisces Axis: Flow Meets Form
With the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces, we’re asked to balance opposites. Virgo represents order, health, service, and discipline. Pisces symbolizes surrender, compassion, and the spiritual unknown. This eclipse brings the lesson that true alignment comes when we hold both — the ability to release and the willingness to rebuild.
Heightened Intuition & Sensitivity
Eclipse energy magnifies emotions, and Pisces heightens psychic awareness. Dreams may be vivid, synchronicities undeniable, and inner nudges impossible to ignore. Instead of analyzing everything, listen and feel. What your intuition reveals now may shape choices for months to come.
Spiritual Cleansing & Emotional Catharsis
Pisces rules endings, forgiveness, and spiritual rebirth. Many will feel called to cleanse — emotionally, energetically, or even physically. Rituals of release, meditation, or symbolic acts of letting go are especially powerful under this eclipse.
Tension Between Performance and Presence
With Venus in Leo in play, you may notice a pull to be seen, admired, or validated. The eclipse reminds us that presence matters more than polish. Show up honestly, not perfectly.
Language and Self-Talk
With the Sun close to Mercury in Virgo, words carry extra power. The way you speak to yourself or others can shape how you move through this eclipse. Be intentional with your language and choose honesty over criticism.
Journaling Prompts
Use these questions to guide reflection and support the process of release:
- What illusions or self-beliefs am I ready to let dissolve?
- Where have I resisted closure, even though I sense it’s already time to move on?
- What messages are coming through my dreams, intuition, or synchronicities right now?
- How can I soften control and allow more flow in my daily life?
- If I could forgive one story or person (including myself), what freedom would that bring me?
Who This Eclipse Will Affect the Most
While eclipses ripple across all of us, some signs will feel this one more acutely:
- Pisces — Major endings or breakthroughs in identity, purpose, and personal direction. A deep reset of self.
- Virgo — Relationship revelations, as dynamics in partnerships or one-on-one connections shift dramatically.
- Gemini — Career or public life transformations, especially around visibility, goals, or long-term purpose.
- Sagittarius — Shifts in home, family, or emotional foundations. Old attachments may dissolve to make way for healing.
Those with placements between 12°–18° of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius will feel this eclipse like a strong wave pulling at their inner tides.
Ritual for Release:
You don’t need anything elaborate to honor this eclipse, but intentionality matters.
You’ll need:
- A bowl of water
- A white or silver candle
- A journal and pen
Steps:
- Light the candle and sit in a quiet space.
- Gaze into the bowl of water, imagining it holding the weight you’re ready to release — fears, old stories, past versions of you.
- Speak aloud or write down what you’re letting go of.
- Pour the water into the earth or down a drain, saying: “I return this to Source. May I be free.”
- Journal about the experience, noting what feels lighter or clearer.
- This Pisces Lunar Eclipse is not a quiet lunation — it is a tide pulling us away from what has expired, carrying us toward renewal. It asks for surrender, not resistance. It asks us to release the illusions we’ve been carrying, the roles we’ve outgrown, and the stories that no longer define us.Let this eclipse be a sacred pause: a time to grieve, to forgive, and to trust that endings create the necessary space for beginnings.
What you release under this Pisces Moon clears the way for the Virgo Solar Eclipse on September 21, when new, grounded seeds will be planted. The message of the cosmos is simple yet profound. Soften into trust: what’s washing away was never meant to stay.
