Sept 17, 2024 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 25º

In a time of incredible shifts, eclipses highlight a moment in time when some of those shifts begin to be potentially seen but certainly felt in our lives. 

This September 17, 2024 introduces a full moon lunar eclipse at 25° Pisces. Both the symbolism of full moons as well of the sign of Pisces involve closures and endings. Pisces is the sign that rules completion, returning to the oneness, mystery and wisdom of the universe. 

This is the first eclipse in its series of 7 that will take place now through 2027 on the axis of Virgo/Pisces. How comfortable are we with the themes of surrender, faith, escapism, and the spirit realms of our lives? This lunation introduces the axis of Virgo/Pisces and invites us to look at the balance we practice in our habitual choices of everyday life, weighed by logic vs intuition. 

At the time of the eclipse, Neptune, the planet that rules Pisces is sitting in a conjunction with the full moon. This is a strong position for Neptune to be in and will enhance the feeling and intuitive aspects of this time. We can become very open spiritually, or even to the feelings or energy of the people and spaces around us. On a positive note, this lends itself to being receptive to the muses and a beautiful time to channel feelings through any artistic medium. We are invited to be open to completions or major changes in creative projects or the way we participate in emotional patterns. If you are someone that is sensitive to substances or escapism of any kind, this can be a moment where all of a sudden it is clear there is a need to tighten boundaries in some way, to protect our health and general life balance. 

With Saturn, the planet of discipline and restriction also sitting in Pisces at this time, we are being pressured to identify our priorities, reorganize accordingly with actions, and check the integrity of our spiritual and creative endeavors. 

As above so below. Virgo season has been showing us where we need to make adjustments to the small details and habits that make up our life since late August. How our relationship to our bodies and our daily habits create our health both in the physical and spirit realm alike.   

What needs to end so that we can be more committed to our goals? What are some small tweaks we can adjust in our routines that over time bring us closer to an ideal we are striving for? Where is the line between reality and fantasy? Are we really organized and is there a strategy in place to get us to achieve such lofty ideals? Anything is possible, and this eclipse will confront us with opportunities, events, a crisis, a feeling - something to help us understand where we are in this dance. Are we just talking the talk or are we walking the walk? And as it is a lunar eclipse, likely there is an opportunity to let go of something karmic that has created unconscious and or unhealthy habits in our way. 

Snip snip. Do we need be more open and receptive or be more discerning and strategic? Only from within will know the true shifts that need to be made both inside and out. Let what no longer can move forward with you fall away. Double down on practices that create health and stability. Our choices take us to the next chapter of our lives now.
