Eclipse Season 2025 Begins This Week

The September Full Moon is the Corn Moon often nicknamed a “blood moon” this year due to a total lunar eclipse.

Depending on your time zone, a total lunar eclipse will occur on September 7 or 8, 2025. This marks the start of the second eclipse season of 2025, which includes:

• Total Lunar Eclipse: September 7, 2025
• Partial Solar Eclipse: September 21, 2025

What Is an Eclipse Season?

An eclipse season is a window when the Earth, Moon, and Sun can line up in space, making eclipses inevitable. Each season typically brings at least two eclipses (sometimes three). Most years include two eclipse seasons.

What Makes This Eclipse Season Special?

This season highlights the Pisces–Virgo axis—balancing intuition and spirituality (Pisces) with practicality and analysis (Virgo).

• Lunar Eclipse – Sept 7: invites us to release rigid structures and soften into compassion and trust.
• Solar Eclipse – Sept 21: encourages us to get organized, think critically, and build powerful new habits.

Think of eclipses as cosmic accelerators that fast-track life changes. They can bring sudden pivots, surprising revelations, and opportunities to change course.

What Will the September 7, 2025 Lunar Eclipse Bring?

• The eclipse occurs at 15° Pisces, near the North Node—a nudge to try something new and listen to intuition alongside logic.
• Theme: care, mercy, settling family karmas or obligations, and supporting loved ones. Expect heightened focus on home and relationships.

Most impacted (mid-degree birthdays roughly the 25th–7th):

• Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini — stay alert for letdowns, losses, or big news (endings that clear the path).
• Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn — potential support, openings, or fortunate turns.
• Aquarius, Leo, Aries, Libra — effects may be more internal (tension or an unusual inner surge) with fewer external events.

What Will the September 21, 2025 Solar Eclipse Bring?

• Occurs at 29° Virgo—the anaretic or final degree. It’s a culmination point: the threshold is crossed, decisions are due.
• A challenging Saturn–Neptune opposition tone may test integrity, resilience, and your readiness to leave the familiar for the unknown.

More challenging for:

• Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini born in the last 10 days of their sign (approx. the 12th–22nd).
• Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn born in the first 10 days (approx. the 21st–1st).
  Expect crunch periods around work, routines, or health—pruning what no longer serves.

More supportive for:

• Cancer, Scorpio, Taurus, Capricorn born in the last decan—openings and backing.
• Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius born in the first decan—chances to step into a vacant role, grow through others’ missteps, or showcase your best qualities.

Eclipse “Corridor” Do’s & Don’ts (September 2025)

General guidance: avoid major new starts from two days before each eclipse through the eclipse day itself.
That includes accepting/quit a job, launches, big moves, or weddings.

Even if it feels like you must act, press pause—part of the picture is hidden, and missteps can have long tails.

Wish-Setting During the Eclipse Corridor

Eclipses amplify meditations and intention work.

• On the lunar eclipse day, focus wishes on personal life, home, family, loved ones, inner peace.
• On the solar eclipse day, focus on career, public roles, achievement, recognition.

Remember: every eclipse asks for an energy exchange. To gain the new, we often must release the old. September brings a crossroads—tests for some, rewards for others—and a chance to see the future from a different angle.

Lunar Nodes & Their Link to Eclipses

Eclipses occur when the Sun and Moon align near the lunar nodes—the points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the ecliptic.

• North Node: the future—growth edges, new experiences, and life pivots that stretch your comfort zone. Eclipses near the North Node open doors.
• South Node: the past—what’s familiar or complete. Eclipses near the South Node invite release of patterns, debts, or roles that have run their course.

Every eclipse season brings not only external shifts, but profound spiritual lessons—portals that align us with our evolutionary path and remind us that growth is cyclical: farewells and fresh beginnings, over and over.
