Welcome to the Full Moon in Pisces with a total Lunar Eclipse! Fasten your seatbelts! The Full Moon is disposed by Neptune, who is currently at 1 degree Aries and slowly making his way back home to Pisces. Neptune, still communing with Saturn (who recently re-entered Pisces), is forming a resource with both Uranus and Pluto, while Uranus and Pluto are manifesting with one another. Â
Bottom line: this lunar eclipse is resonating deeply with the big transformational energies that have been brewing all year. We are being asked to shed old skin and emerge anew, not just personally but collectively. But should we expect anything differently from a Full Moon with a Lunar Eclipse?  Lunar Eclipses are a reboot of emotions, and this reboot may be just what is needed to catalyze us to shed the old skin we’ve outgrown.  Â
Because all of the aforementioned planets are retrograde (Uranus just stationed on Sept 5th), this will likely speak to something internal. Again, this could easily look like a deep emotional release. Likely, the Uranus station has already stirred some things up, but remain open to what else this lunation will bring. Being awake with arms wide open will allow you to surf the emotional waves with ease, rather than fighting against it and getting brought underwater when it all crashes down on you.
Pisces is the limitless realm, and emotions can run deep. It can be scary to go there because we may fear we’ll never resurface, but if you can remain unattached to your “story” and just allow yourself to feel and purge, you will not get lost.  Â
Here are the real questions to ponder during this lunar event: Where are you playing small? How are you honoring your limitless nature? What would it feel like to play in the vastness that you are? Where are you being called to expand? What are you clinging to because you don’t see that you are limitless?
Full Moons are bridges between the Moon and the Sun. In this case, the Full Moon and the eclipse are highlighting Pisces and Virgo. So across from this limitless realm is pragmatic, healing Virgo. Virgo is the earth tether that keeps you from getting lost in Pisces waters. So here are more questions to ask yourself: What are some ways you can ground yourself while exploring emotions (Moon) and the spiritual realm (Pisces)?  What is emerging that is asking for healing? What simply needs your acceptance? Virgo is disposed by Chiron, and Chiron is wholeness. The wounded healer accepts and loves all parts of himself. How can you embody some of this energy during this time?  Traditionally, Virgo can be very exacting….how is control and perfection limiting you at this time?
One thing to note- the Piscean realm is very psychic and attuned. This can be a good thing, but it can also be confusing if you are not aware of how other people’s energy and emotions can impact you. In short, some things that come up may be a collective feeling.  Water and Earth are your remedies right now… Ground into Mother Earth and/or take a bath, go for a swim, even taking a shower with the intention to let the Divine wash you clean can be helpful. Also, here is my mantra for releasing other people’s energies: “Any energies not my own, return to Source” and I imagine myself being swept clean.
Let’s go back to Saturn and Neptune for a moment…The Soul Star in Pisces asks us to embrace our spiritual side, to connect more deeply to spirit, and to learn to swim in the emotional realm. Saturn has returned to ask if you have the structures and support in your life needed to embody your awakened self. Whatever emerged for you while Saturn was in Pisces…are you still grounded in your spiritual practices? Do you have a way to process your emotions that is healthy? Are you living as your own Guru, or are you still giving your power away somewhere? Â
Neptune is at 1 degree Aries, slowly making his way back to Pisces as well, so expect to continue to review all things Piscean for a while. Best to get comfortable here and find a way to make it work for you, if you haven’t already.

The Sun is communing with Orcus and Mercury. Mercury recently turned direct and is quickly catching up with the Sun to begin their new cycle on Sept 13th.  Orcus is our eternal being- the part of ourselves that we carry through each lifetime. That Orcus is communing with the Sun right now is brilliant, because it speaks to reclaiming our limitless nature. Again, where are you being called to expand? To embrace more? To do something that feels too big or too scary?  What is your soul asking for at this time? The Mercury new cycle can bring new messages and clarity around what is revealed during this eclipse.
Jupiter is manifesting with the Moon and Soul Star Chakra (N. Node) and forming a resource with the Sun, Orcus and the Earth Star Chakra (S. Node). Our expansiveness arrives via the flow state, rather than through stress or shock. If we can remain in a state of allowing and surrender, this flow state and expansion will deliver you somewhere unexpected because that is the nature of an eclipse. Allow and surrender to your emotions. Let them say what they need to say- emotions aren’t meant to be buried. Â
It’s clear the cosmos are going to wash us emotionally clean, and surrender to the emotional flow will allow us to go through this process with grace. Rip currents are coming to mind right now…and the way to get out of a rip current is to let the tide sweep you out- fighting against it will end up with you drowning. Let it move you where it wants to send you, and then when you can, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current (feel the feeling without getting into the story, stay in the deep waters until the current is over), then you can swim back to shore once out of the pull of the tide.
Here is an Invocation and some journaling prompts to support you during this time:
“I release the old skins that no longer serve me. I open to the vastness of my soul and reclaim the wholeness of my being. I am limitless. I am whole.”
Journaling Prompts:
- Where am I clinging to control, perfection, or order that actually limits my growth?Â
- Where in my life am I being asked to surrender, release, or let the tide carry me?
- What does my “limitless nature” look like when I give myself permission to embody it?
- What old skin am I ready to shed at this eclipse—an identity, story, or habit?
- How can I anchor my expansion into daily rituals that honor both earth and spirit?
- Where in my life do I resist feeling deeply, and what do I fear might happen if I fully allow the emotion?
- What does it mean for me to live as my own Guru?
Take good care of yourselves!
