This eclipse in Pisces asks you the burning question: What invisible desire am I ready to make visible?

To help you answer this, I will guide you through the astrological threads of what you might expect at this time, and how to weave them together, linking this Lunar Eclipse with both previous and future events in your life through Saros series and Moon Families.

On 7 September 2025 at 18.08 UT, the Moon reaches full visibility and brightness at 15° Pisces before being plunged into sudden shadow, then darkness. This is not an ordinary Full Moon, but a total lunar eclipse, a Full Moon packing a punch. Eclipses can be catalysts for change, heralding karmic and important beginnings and endings and accelerating our storyline.

This Pisces Eclipse is the second in a rare series of three Lunar eclipses in Pisces, a sign that has been drawing our attention as planets crossed the boundary this year, from Pisces to Aries, and then returned, creating a cosmic stitch in the sky. Saturn is the latest planet to perform this dance, returning across the border from the fire of Aries into the otherworldly, intuitive waters of mutable Pisces on 1 September.

The series of three lunar eclipses we are experiencing in Pisces highlights a period which invites us into deeper spiritual reflection, surrender, and transformation. The Pisces-Virgo axis invites us to explore themes of service, spirituality, and the balance between the material and the ethereal. We are likely to explore questions and themes such as, How does being of service to others also reward and feed our soul? Are we so spiritual that we are detached from the material world, and if so, how can we ground ourselves in practical, earthly matters? How do our dreams impact on our waking life? What links between the two can you see in your life, and how would you like to see them develop and grow?

We start to enjoy longer days and look forward to Spring, but we are in transition. We must prepare for the final release of the end of the entire zodiac cycle, before we can be reborn anew with the rebirth that comes with the Spring Equinox as the sun enters Aries. It is a time to go within, reflect and release so we travel lightly into the new.

The Moon is in Pisces, while the Sun is travelling through Virgo, the sign of the maiden who carries the scythe, reminding us of the loss of innocence and the need for the feminine to own her purpose and feminine powers, while being willing to cut away all that is inauthentic, or is outgrown, as the maiden prepares for harvest and symbolically to undergo the rite of passage of the transition into adulthood.

As the Moon is eclipsed in Pisces, its connection with our Earth is temporarily interrupted. Like a computer being switched off and on again, there is a sense of a reset, a death and rebirth much greater than that we experience with the New Moons. Themes of surrender, introspection, and connection to the spiritual realm may be intensified.

Pisces energy is often flowing and ethereal, visualise the ocean, sometimes still and sometimes with dramatic high waves crashing, making it more challenging to engage with the material world. This eclipse may stir deep emotional waters, disturbing the silt that is resting on the ocean floor, encouraging us to trust in the unseen and offering the opportunity to (re)connect with our higher, or deeper, selves.

For the Pisces Eclipse, the symbolic turning Off and On again of the Moon’s reflective light, it could be that something hidden is being drawn up from the depths, from an old, or a new story, made visible under the shadowed light of the Moon as it is lit up and symbolically reborn after the
