Hi friends,
Shhhhhh!
So I’m not actually supposed to be here, as I’m supposed to be taking the month off for rest (which of course aligns with the theme of this Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces).
Yet I really wanted to share the theme I intuited for this eclipse lunation, along with some helpful tips for flowing through eclipse season.
So this Moonblog will be shorter than my typical ones, but hopefully will be just as helpful for moving with the energies at play.
So in order to keep this short and sweet I’m just going to share the most important bits and pieces with you in more note-like form.
Pisces Full Moon with total Lunar Eclipse
THEME: Sweet Surrender
WHAT THAT MEANS: To let go of that part of you that is always trying to force and control things. Tuck her into the coziest bed (or hammock, or water float!) and let her rest.
Radically accept, soften, allow and release resistance. Lean into letting go - not giving up, just giving in. Release the force and control and struggle.
This total lunar eclipse will not be visible from North or South America (unfortunately) but will be visible from Africa, Australia, Asia and maybe even parts of Europe.
INNER PROMPTS:
What is something in my life that I am pushing against, forcing or trying to control?
How can I release this pressure and surrender?
How do I discern between giving up/resignation and giving in/surrender?
How do those two emotions feel different in my body?
ABOUT PISCES:
Mutable Water sign of the Zodiac
Known to be sensitive, intuitive, imaginative, compassionate, creative, mystical, spiritual
Also can be escapist, avoidant, victim-y & scattered
With the Pisces Moon meeting with Virgo season also matching the nodes for this Eclipse - we are really being guided to lean into the beneficial attributes of Piscean energy - like our connection to our intuition and the Divine - while leaving behind unsupportive aspects of Virgo energy - like perfectionism and trying to control everything.
ABOUT ECLIPSES:
Eclipses are normal lunar cycles that occur about 4 (or sometimes more) times per year.
Astronomically, eclipses occur when the alignment between the Sun, Moon and Earth cause the Earth to shadow the Moon (lunar eclipse) or the Moon to shadow the Earth (solar eclipse).
Lunar and Solar eclipses come in pairs, and typically cycle around specific themes which is governed by the signs ruling the North & South nodes of the Moon during the time of the eclipse.
This total Lunar Eclipse is occurring along the Pisces/Virgo access with the North node of the Moon in Pisces and the south Node in Virgo. The theme relates to the balancing of the spiritual with the practical, the magical with the mundane.
The (partial) Solar eclipse will occur with the Virgo New Moon (yes second Virgo new Moon in a row!) on September 21st/22nd, 2025.
Spiritually, eclipses are times of predestined change, and they remind us to ease our white-knuckled grip on control.
While shadowing what is typically lit, eclipses also bring light to areas usually in shadow. Eclipse energy invites deep inner shifts, awakening epiphanies along with destined change that while may not be fully clear at first, end up being essential for our growth.
Lunar eclipses typically relate more to our inner worlds, our emotions and our intra and inter-personal relationships.
Solar eclipses typically relate more to how we are taking action along with larger collective transformations.
Rather than trying to force or hustle our way into desired outcomes, we are encouraged during eclipse season to spend more time in observation, reflection and surrender.
“I surrender to what is and what wants to become” may be a helpful affirmation for this particular lunation.

working with eclipse season energy*:
*You are free to work with Eclipse season energy in any way you choose - of course! These are just my suggestions for working with Eclipse energy in ways that create less resistance and energy leaks. But always remember, you do you, Boo!
Do:
get quiet and present
meditate
journal and self-reflect
notice what’s flowing into your life and what’s flowing out
look for spiritual signs
ask for, receive and offer support when/as needed
Don’t:
hustle, force or try to control all the things (but do take necessary actions in your life)
actively engage with Moon magic like making Moon water or charging or clearing crystals
spend too much time or energy on forcing your manifestations around these lunations (see first bullet)
force clarity
over-commit yourself
During Eclipse season, the more we surrender into what is, and allow ourselves to flow with what’s happening, the more likely we are to receive two of the most beautiful gifts of Eclipse season - moments of meaningful new perceptions and destined change.
May this Pisces Full Moon, with Lunar Eclipse, remind you that there is sweetness in surrender when we do so with trust, faith and belonging to ourselves.
with infinite love,
Rachael
