PISCES FULL MOON / TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE - 7 September 2025
This is a very powerful Full Moon indeed, as we have now entered Eclipse season, which tends to herald a new chapter and the completion of a cycle. This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse could be a turning point and a moment of reckoning, when revelations, clarity and profound insights are possible, as whatever has been bubbling away under the surface is brought out into the light of consciousness so that we simply can’t hide from it! There is something very fated and inevitable about a total Eclipse, as the Sun and Moon activate the Nodal axis and propel us in the direction of growth. This process could be uncomfortable but is completely necessary for us to move forward to the next level. We are being called to surrender to the tidal wave that is pulling us towards our highest destiny.
With the Moon and North Node in sensitive, compassionate, intuitive Pisces, sitting directly opposite the Sun and South Node in humble, self-critical, analytical Virgo, this Moon invites us to let go and surrender to the flow rather than trying to micromanage, over-analyse or control outcomes. The Virgo part of us can be incredibly hard on ourselves and can easily dwell on our shortcomings and feelings of inadequacy, while Pisces calls for us towards a place of greater compassion and acceptance of self and others. The Virgo part of us likes everything to be neat and tidy and in order, including ourselves, while Pisces reminds us that sometimes things get a bit messy and that is ok. We are perfect in our imperfection!
Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac, and so this Eclipse invites us to release whatever is no longer serving us so that we can allow space for whatever is waiting to come in. Virgo can help us to discern what is out of alignment and needs to be released, while Pisces helps us to actually release it! We could feel quite tender during the process, but we are encouraged to keep our hearts open and allow ourselves to feel the emotions, whatever they may be. We could find that old habits or patterns are able to simply melt away, as they are simply not helpful or appropriate anymore. We may find that we are able to let go of people and/or situations that are no longer appropriate for us, allowing them to pass on and fade out of our lives with grace, love, gratitude and acceptance. Pisces is a gentle, sensitive, compassionate sign that helps us to rise above our own egos and see the bigger picture.
Jupiter in Cancer is supporting this Moon, which could help us to feel gratitude for whatever comes up as we go through the process of emotional release and letting go. Jupiter certainly can magnify our emotions, making them feel bigger and more present, but it also brings emotional wisdom and generosity of spirit, which could be very helpful indeed. Jupiter in Cancer helps us to support one another and can bring a sense of belonging and emotional safety. It helps us to get in touch with our feelings and reminds us that allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and show our feelings is a good thing.
Venus in Leo is forming a nagging inconjunct to the Moon, bringing our relationships into focus. Venus in Leo can bring out the warm, romantic, expressive and creative part of us, bringing a strong need to feel special and to feel like we are at the centre of someone’s universe. With Venus in Leo we may seek more validation, and may want to feel like we are a priority in our loved one’s life, while this Pisces Moon is calling for us to lay our egos to one side and let go of attachment to outcomes. Pisces reminds us that we are all in this together and that it isn’t all about us. There is something larger than us at play here, and so we are called to surrender to the unknown, allowing ourselves to be carried along on a fateful current that knows more than we do. We are called to simply listen to our hearts, allow inspiration to flow and recognise what brings us joy. If it isn’t sparking joy in us, or our heart isn’t in it anymore, maybe it is time to let go.
There is a supportive, harmonious trine aspect between Pluto and Uranus that is currently building and will be closest to exact between 18 and 24 September. This trine is providing a powerful backdrop to Eclipse season, helping us to see things more clearly, as if we are somehow able to look at ourselves, our patterns, our relationships and our lives through a different lens. We could have sudden realisations, epiphanies, wake up calls and revelations that bring greater clarity and insight, enabling us to see things from a different perspective, which could be so helpful. It may be something that we have always known, somehow, but now it has become blatantly obvious and crystal clear. And once we see, we can’t “unsee”!
There is something potentially liberating about this Full Moon/Eclipse, because with Pluto in Aquarius playing nicely with Uranus, which is the ruler of Aquarius, we have a profound opportunity to free ourselves from old, outdated programming and conditioned patterns that have long outgrown their usefulness. Uranus gives us an opportunity to step back and see the patterns, understand their roots and watch, from a more detached perspective, how they play out in our lives and relationships. Pluto can bring psychological insight, emotional honesty and the capacity to purge, transmute and transform. Once we can see these patterns through a clearer, more detached lens, they lose their power over us. This includes any unhelpful patterns or dynamics that might be repeating between us and another person. We have an opportunity to step off the merry-go-round.
This process has also been helped by Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, joining forces with Saturn in Aries in recent times. They are not as close now but are still only a degree apart from each other and both are interacting with Uranus and Pluto. The past couple of months have shown up the disparity between what we yearn and long for and what is real and actually possible. We have been called to find a greater acceptance for how things really are versus how we would like them to be. While this reality check can feel somewhat disillusioning, it is much better than living in fantasy land or burying our head in the sand. We have also had opportunities to create better boundaries to protect ourselves and help us to feel safe.
Uranus will have been helping this process, bringing insights and epiphanies, and jolting us into greater awareness of how things really are. Pluto has been helping us to confront whatever comes up with emotional honesty, even if it is uncomfortable. The truth shall set you free!
And now we have this Full Moon/Eclipse, activating the Pisces North Node and calling for us to release whatever needs to fall away with compassion, love and acceptance. The cosmic soup has been bubbling away over the past month or so, bringing some uncomfortable realisations and reality checks along the way. Now this Moon invites us to simply surrender and let go of whatever isn’t meant for us with grace and love, opening our hearts to whatever might fill the space it leaves behind. Clinging on or trying to control outcomes is futile, says Pisces. Just let go, with grace, and open full to whatever lies around the next bend.
The Sabian symbol for this Full Moon, at 15° Pisces, is a
beautiful one: “In the quiet of his study a creative individual experiences a
flow of inspiration” which Dane Rudyar describes as” Reliance upon one’s inner
source of inspiration or guidance. This symbol strikes the keynote of truly
significant creative processes: their source is above, beyond, but also around
the individual creator. The inspiration, original and individual though it may
be, is given a form which is conditioned by the cultural, social and religious background
of the creative person. In a sense, every genius merely records an answer to
the needs of his time. The hands that write, play an instrument, or mould a
plastic material are his own; the urge or drive back of the flow of inspiration
has arisen in the vast collective mind of
This symbol brings to mind the connection between the creativity of Venus in Leo and the spiritual connection of Pisces, with its need to turn inward to find inspiration and guidance. It is a reminder that ultimately, we have all the answers we need, if only we can be quiet, still our minds and listen. This Moon, with its powerful Eclipse, brings endings and new beginnings, shining its light on anything we have been hiding from or avoiding, and inviting us to let go with tenderness and compassion for ourselves and others. As we let go, we are allowing the space to be filled by something bigger and better than we could possibly imagine. Pisces encourages us to relax, surrender control and put our faith and trust that whatever lies beyond the next bend in the river is meant for us.
Much Love
