Here’s Everything You Need to Know About September’s Full Moon in Pisces

Eclipse season is in full swing as the Pisces lunar eclipse graces our skies on September 17th, marking the beginning of an astrological cycle that will play out until February 20th, 2027. As we dip our toes into a series of eclipses manifesting on the Virgo/Pisces axis, it’ll be important to consider personal habits, triggers, and emotional wellbeing. There may be times when you feel torn between your dreams and the work required to reach them, while quests for perfection could lead to heartache. By the time you’ve reached the end of this astrological era, you’ll find yourself changed emotionally, mentally, and perhaps physically.

To understand how these eclipses will impact you throughout the next two and a half years, it can be helpful to touch base with your deepest emotions during this particular lunation. Pisces energy has a way of swelling our hearts and minds, making it easier to energetically merge with the people we encounter. For this reason, it’ll be important that you find ways to protect your aura from outside influences, especially when you feel pulled toward introspection and personal healing. This lunar eclipse will highlight the effects other people have on you, for better or worse.

In order to cultivate peace and quiet, you could feel called to set new boundaries with friends, colleagues, and family. However, as your intuition intensifies under Luna’s glow, you may find it difficult to draw lines if you’re worried they will upset someone else. The emotions of those around you will seem more pronounced during this time, and your empathic nature could dissuade you from situations that might disappoint others. When it comes to your own wellbeing, it may be best to take a more practical and less emotional approach toward those you encounter. Another point worth considering, is that if someone can’t respect your request for space, they might not have your best interests at heart.

It would be wise to brace yourself for pushback in the event that conflict does arise, as Mercury and Saturn face off overhead. This celestial standoff could bring out dominating or bullying personalities, while arguing your own disposition might feel like a steep mountain to climb. Disagreements will cause arguments to drag on for much longer than they normally would, and it may be up to you to lay issues to rest before they have a chance to spiral. When resolution can not be found, go the route of agreeing to disagree.

Across from the Pisces full moon, sits the Virgo sun, heightening the connection between your emotional and physical bodies. Take note of how you change physically when faced with stress, difficult people, loving companions, and in solitude. You’ll have a chance to master the way your body responds to outside events if you bring more awareness to these physical shifts. Movement and purposeful relaxation will come in handy under this cosmic climate, giving yourself space to push out whatever moments of tension, joy, and enthusiasm find you during this intense eclipse.
