Updated: Sep 15

On September 17th or 18th, depending on your location there is a Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. This is the Harvest Moon, as it is the one closest to the Equinox. It will appear full for several nights as it rises low in the East. With it reaching its peak fullness at 7:34 PM MST, it will be visible in the Americas.


A Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is a powerful celestial event that brings significant shifts, revelations, and endings. Pisces, being the last sign of the zodiac, represents spiritual wisdom, intuition, dreams, and the subconscious. When a lunar eclipse occurs in this mystical sign, it amplifies the Full Moon's themes of culmination and release, offering profound opportunities for emotional and spiritual transformation. As this is a partial lunar eclipse only a very small portion of the Moon will have a shadow across it. Lunar Eclipses occur when the Nodes are close to the Sun and Moon. At the time of this event the North Node is in Aries, while the Moon is in Pisces. Being in different signs, from the Sun and Moon, creates the partial eclipse. There is much planetary activity at the time of this Full Moon event, adding to the already intense eclipse energy. Do you want to know how this will impact you specifically.

Before we break all the details down of this very intense lunar eclipse, let's be reminded what the general energy of a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is about.


Key Characteristics of a Lunar Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse Energy:

  • Culmination and Release: Eclipses mark major turning points, endings, and the culmination of long-term cycles. This is the time to focus on emotional release.

  • Revelations: Hidden truths come to light, leading to breakthroughs and significant insights.

Pisces Energy:

  • Intuitive and Dreamy: Pisces is deeply connected to the subconscious mind, intuition, and dreams.

  • Compassionate and Spiritual: This sign emphasizes empathy, compassion, and spiritual growth.

Planetary Ruler Energy:

  • Neptune the modern day ruler of the sign of Pisces is in the sign, at 28 degrees, this makes the energy even more powerful.

  • Neptune creates dreams as well as delusions. It is retrograde and has the ability to bring things to the surface to be seen, so they can be released.

  • Neptune can help bring your spiritual or artistic gifts out, to be seen by the world.


General Themes - Focus your intentions on these areas:

  • Spiritual Awakening: Heightened intuition and spiritual awareness. This is a time to connect with your higher self and explore your spiritual path.

  • Emotional Release: The eclipse provides an opportunity to release old emotional patterns, wounds, and past baggage, fostering healing and renewal.

  • Dreams and Intuition: Enhanced sensitivity to dreams, psychic insights, and intuitive messages. Pay attention to your inner guidance. Journal those dreams.

  • Compassion and Forgiveness: A focus on compassion, empathy, and forgiveness, both towards yourself and others.

  • Closure and Transformation: The end of a significant cycle, leading to deep emotional and spiritual transformation.

Exploring the Aspects

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is intensified by a complex web of astrological aspects, including a T-square involving Mars in Cancer and the Nodes in Aries and Libra, Saturn in Pisces opposing Mercury in Virgo, and Venus in Libra opposing a retrograde Chiron in Aries. Any one of these on their own is an intense experience, but combined they are pushing you to release a burden that you have carried for too long now.


Sun

  • Every Full Moon is created by the light of the Sun. This creates the tension we know so well during every full moon. In the sign of Virgo we are shown what it means to have effective control, effective and healthy boundaries. Pisces is water, it has no boundaries. At the time of the event there is something about poor boundaries that will be dissolved, and new stronger boundaries will be built in their place.


Uranus

  • Unexpected Opportunities: Uranus, retrograde in Taurus, and sextile to the Moon, brings sudden insights, breakthroughs, and changes. The sextile aspect creates a harmonious flow of energy, making it easier to embrace new ideas and innovations. It's trine to the Sun, highlights the need for a positive, yet sudden change, to how you shine a light in the world.

  • Practical Transformation: Taurus grounds the transformative energy, allowing for practical and tangible changes in our lives.


Mars

  • In its tsquare with the North Node In Aries, and South Node from the sign of Cancer, there is action needed on your part. You cannot simply expect the Universe to do all the work. You need to recognize and trust your intuition. You are being guided to make a significant change, and you need to follow through. The change could involve your family, or you home, a move is possible. A fated change involving those who share your home.


The Moon in Pisces is connected with Neptune, planetary ruler of the sign.

  • This is significant. This raises the emotional energy, the sensitive nature of this Lunar Eclipse. This is an emotional ending of some kind that is extreme in nature. Every 19 years we have the same series of eclipses repeat themselves. September 2006 we had the Moon in Pisces and, the Sun in Virgo. The North Node was at this same 25 degrees of Pisces as the current Lunar Eclipse. Eclipses are fated, and they are cyclic. A major chapter will end from this period of time in your life. It may end in an indirect way, but It releases you from karma that is still a part of that era. This is also a preview of the work we will be doing when the Nodes change signs in January of 2025, and move into Pisces and Virgo. Whatever you are shown at this time to release, it is needed in order for you to do the work in 2025. You will look back and recognize how that work actually began at the time of this eclipse.

In this Lunar Eclipse chart we can see the outline of the frame of a kite. It is the blue outline below. In order to lift this burden from you, whatever this emotional baggage is that needs eclipsed, you need to be the one to create the tension needed to raise a kite in the air.

The opposition between the Moon, Neptune, and the Sun is what creates the center Iine, the bold red lines. Support at the top third of the kite, comes from a trine, or 120 degree energy between Uranus and Pluto. This might be an unexpected lift caused by someone from the past. Both of these planets make a sextile to the Moon and Neptune. This is where the help comes in to make this transformation happen. This is a necessary end and the help you need is there for you, all you have to do is grab that string. Both Uranus and Pluto also make a trine to the Sun in Virgo. This is where the need for control comes into play. This isn't some erratic kite that is swaying back and forth in the sky. It is flying with control, you are the one in control. The kite cannot get off the ground unless someone picks up the string and applies pressure and tension. That someone will be you.


Supporting Players

Chiron in Aries, and Venus in her home sign of Libra, in opposition, suggest there is a painful experience with a woman or women in general, that needs to be healed and the pain released. Jupiter in Gemini, speaks positively with both of these planets. Jupiter is the knowledge you need, the information about this battle, that kick starts the healing. Saturn in Pisces, and Mercury In Virgo, in opposition, suggest old ideals are being challenged by a new younger generation. This could also be an older person being challenged by someone younger. A fight for control.
