But first, the old, familiar story must end.
On September 7, 2025, the full moon lunar eclipse co-present with Saturn in Pisces signals dissolution, the divine undoing of any delusions that we can continue on the same path.
This astrological sky is reminding us that endings are initiations.
Whatever is ending in any part of your life is meant to be.
Cue lots of deep breaths. Surrender.
Repeat.
We’ve been drifting, romanticizing and perhaps even avoiding or staying too long in a beautiful pipe dream; this eclipse is here to unravel that story.
Saturn slid back into Pisces on September 1, asking us the hard question, “What illusions are you still holding onto instead of being honest with yourself?
The pressure has been building since July, particularly with one of the most disruptive retrograde seasons in a long time (Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Chiron all went retro in July).
Mars in Libra squares Jupiter in Cancer on September 4, stoking tension in our relationships, in justice, in the architecture of tribal belonging. Uranus turns retrograde in Gemini on September 5, jolting us with abrupt reversals, shocking endings or a lightning-flash truth you can’t unsee.
We have faced the portal and for many of us it looks like a closed door.
This is a time when we lock down that door, burn it and build a new one.
As an astrologer, tarot reader and psychic channeler (with Pisces rising no less), I’ve decided to share this eclipse energy with you a little differently and more holistically this time. I’ve combined tarot, astrology and energy channeling to bring you this eclipse report.
But first some tips about how to work with the eclipse:
- Do not go outside and spend a lot of time looking at the eclipse. Many people I know, near and dear to me, all have reported feeling more unsettled and anxious when they have spent time looking at an eclipse while it was happening. Obviously, if you go outside and happen to take a glance at it, nothing will happen. You just don’t want to be frolicking outside for long periods of time as the eclipse is occurring. This is also echoed by many ancient traditions, including Vedic.
- Wear white to reflect purity of intentions. Whatever you’re holding in your heart and emotional body will be amplified during an eclipse. The days leading up to an eclipse will best be spent doing emotional release work.
- Meditation and Breathwork. Quiet contemplation and prayer are balms during eclipse moments which are wildcard times of disruption and change. Tend to your nervous system and focus on inhaling and exhaling love and compassion.
- Eat lightly. Drink lots of water. Digesting heavy foods takes a lot of the body’s energy which is better focused towards contemplative, spiritual work. Some people fast during an eclipse as well.
- Abstaining from alcohol and mind-altering substances is also encouraged.
This morning I sat with all of this eclipse information and asked my higher self, ascended masters and all of our spirit guardians and ancestors to help guide us.
I used the time-tested tarot to receive the wisdom of this powerful occasion to share with you.
My intention is that this reading serves to fortify you and instill hope and faith during this wild cosmic weather.
1. Six of Swords
The eclipse begins with a dawning awareness that your soul is already outgrowing the shell you’ve been living in. The six of Swords card speaks of spiritual, and quite often physical, transition and metamorphosis.
Expect some grief lingering at the threshold. Change carries sadness because it demands release of what once was.
You are shifting. You are self-activating. And anything that vibrates at a lower frequency is surfacing now, not to punish you, but to be freed with grace.
You are literally shifting to a new timeline and you have the opportunity to write the new story from a fresh, expanded perspective.
2. Two of Wands
When the old falls away, creativity rushes in.
The Two of Wands demands pioneering courage. Dream differently. Experiment wildly. Ask, “Why not?” when your mind whispers, “That’s impossible.”
This is where the visionaries, mystics, and inventors must step forward. Your curiosity is the compass. Logistics matter, yes, but not before imagination cracks open the future.
This eclipse asks: What new Earth do you dare to dream into being?
3. Six of Cups
Before you leap into the future, take an inventory of the past with gratitude for it all. The Six of Cups takes you back to the golden moments of your youth, to the memories that carry codes for your becoming.
What lit you up before the world hardened your edges? Where do you feel the innocence of pure joy?
Your memories are aligned with the stars: the keys to your future are hidden in your childhood joy, your ancestral wisdom, the rhythms of nature you’re ready to honor again.
4. Seven of Cups
And yet, the path is not straight forward. In the labyrinth of many twists and turns, there is only one path that leads to the center, to your soul. The eclipse is a sorting process, stripping away distraction.
The invitation is focus. The “F” word. Try getting a Pisces to focus on one thing! Its symbol is of two fish swimming in opposite directions.
Is it a project in futility? Perhaps. It’s downright painful to watch the flip-flopping of the cosmic fish.
But here comes Saturn, with his whip and chains. Often limits help us define freedom and pleasure.
Stay attuned to your inner navigation system. Do not ricochet from one shimmering option to another. Choose the course that rings with truth, even when it requires sacrifice.
This is how you move through the labyrinth: step by step, breath by breath, returning again and again to center.
Five of Pentacles
Finally, the eclipse presses where it hurts most: lack of resources, scarcity, survival, the ache of feeling abandoned and rejected. Here we have the symbol of Venus as the catalyst to help us turn fear into faith.
She has been glittering along in the sign of Leo like the badass boss bitch that she is! She is taking up space, speaking her truth and going a little over the top with her dramatic flair.
Maybe she’s going over the top because she knows she is about to enter Virgo, which is literally the polar opposite of Leo. She feels more icy than spicy in this sign that many astrologers often refer to as her “fall.”
The Five of Pentacles is one of my least favorite tarot cards in the deck. In fact, I often shudder with the chilling fear of losing my pentacles when it appears in a spread … a Saturn-ruled Capricorn’s nightmare! Hahaha!
Challenges in money, work, or belonging are not punishments, they are gateways to humility, compassion, new opportunities and forms of support.
Yes, it feels heavy. But your perception is the true weight. The moment you breathe gratitude, the moment you reach for help, the frost begins to thaw.
This eclipse is asking: Where have you mistaken exile for initiation? Where can you let yourself be held?
This Eclipse Medicine
The Pisces Lunar Eclipse does not soothe. It dissolves. It peels back illusions, unravels false comforts and burns old timelines so that something truer can birth through you.
- Saturn contains: end the dream that no longer sustains you. Keep your boundaries strong and you will materialize the dream that is actually meant just for you.
- Mars and Jupiter push away what’s not a fit: resolve the tension between truly loving who you are and belonging to a tribe. If you have to dim yourself down to hang around someone - is that really being loving to yourself and others?
- Uranus shakes loose anything not grounded in truth: liberate yourself from the old lies you’ve been telling yourself to survive. When you experience authentic freedom, you thrive.
We always have a choice where to put our focus.
For now, focus on nurturing. Nourish yourself and others with pure love, compassion and understanding.
Stop and smell the roses. Appreciating beauty is the ultimate game changer. It immediately elevates your vibration out of the worldly chaos.
With this lunar eclipse in Pisces change is definitely upon us.
So, just for this moment, and any other moments when you remember to do so, allow yourself to just be. Here. Now. Present. In the moment.
Listen to the quiet truth within. Stop “trying” to be or do something that is no longer for you … even if you don’t know what the next thing is. Even if the only evidence you see in front of you is harsh.
Sometimes when we “try” to manifest - and I’m using the word “try” very intentionally here - we are really trying to escape our current circumstances.
This will not work. Trying and escaping will only manifest more issues, problems … more of what you’re trying to escape from.
Your next level is about being fully present and loving who you are and everything about you, where you’re at right now.
Rest in your own essence. Choose to find joy in your morning matcha or coffee. Find joy in the beauty of the morning mist and the riotous sparkling of the stars at night.
This eclipse is the storm and the stillness. The end and the doorway.
Step through with reverence. Step through with courage.
On the other side of this unraveling your soul is waiting … wings unfurled and ready to fly.
