We are in Eclipse Time!

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday September 17th was a taste of Pisces/Virgo Axis for the next 18 months of Eclipses in 2025/26. How did you experience the Pisces Lunation? I had a few clients comment on that period of random gifts, (physical or emotional) show up, nothing extraordinary but special to them and they didn’t see it coming. A Harvest moon.

 Dates for upcoming 2024 Eclipses:

October 2,2024 Solar Eclipse Libra 10 Degrees

October 17,2024 Lunar Eclipse Aries 24 degrees * Very close to being a Lunar Eclipse by a few degrees, so we are calling it a Lunar Eclipse- Full Moon

We can be open & curious to its effects.

2025 Eclipse Dates

March 14,2025 Total Lunar Eclipse 24 degrees Virgo

March 28-29,2025 Solar Eclipse Aries 9 degrees

September 7, 2025 Total Lunar Eclipse Pisces 15 degrees

September 21,2025 Solar Eclipse 29 degrees Virgo

Pisces positive highlights are the need for compassion, focusing on spirituality and having faith that we are on the right path. Going with the flow and allowing change to create positive outcomes. A very hopeful & positive energy. Of course, to balance, we know the opposite of those feelings can be anxiety, delusion, overwhelm and escapism. Virgo energy can create an organized sense of momentum, by planning and skillful strategies that help others as well as themselves. The shadow side is overthinking or obsessing about details or outcomes of a situation. When we are experiencing Eclipse seasons, it can feel a bit unsettling or wonky as we are trying to gain a balance with something in our lives. We look to the Houses where the it occurs for clues.

Eclipses involve the temporary disappearance of the Sun or Moon, so they can signal unexpected change or reversals in a birth chart that is aspected to a particular Eclipse.

Are you having a Nodal Return this Year? You can experience a profound life shift or a deeper period of self-discovery during our Nodal return. (*When Nodes return to exact degree of your Natal Nodal Placement)

 This happens every 18 ½ years.

Age 18, 37, 55, 74 and 93 years we experience a shift. We can gain a lot of information from the Sign of your Nodes and the House they are operating in.It is a fascinating study looking back on our lives to see how things shifted and changed during those years.

I look forward to talking with you all about the New Year Ahead!

Take care,

Laura

Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse 2024

Pisces Lunar Eclipse September 17, 2024

A Harvest Supermoon Lunar Eclipse! This Lunar Eclipse will be a partial which can be viewed from Finland, Ukraine, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Kenya. 

The next Total Lunar Eclipse in North America will be on March 14th 2025 at 23 degrees Virgo.

The Pisces Full Moon in September is a favorite of mine…. the seasons in North America start to be felt and seen. Warm days with the light fading earlier in the afternoon and cooler nights. The Moon is considered the translator of light, because of its fast movement it carries energy from one planet to another. During Eclipse season we can experience change through beginnings or endings, Solar Eclipses (New Moon) tend to be seed moments and more external energies and events. The Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) resonates with completions of a cycle, tidal energy, more emotional and internal. Do new beginnings come after endings or endings create a new beginning? Pisces keyword is “I feel”

Eclipses can change our situation in an instant, with its wild card, sometimes unpredictable energy. The word Eclipse can mean to block out, like the obscuring of one celestial body by another, or to be hidden. It can also mean to surpass, transcend, outshine, outmatch or master a situation if it is used as a verb. Not every Eclipse will produce something meaningful, but researching how Eclipse seasons through our lives have unfolded new chapters is fascinating.

Pisces in general feels its way through by merging with its environment, seeking to find a peaceful space. A water sign that rules the ocean, and loves to dissolve into the energy of nature. Pisces is intuitive by feeling the subtle nuances that it encounters, shifting gears to blend with others as it goes about its own business. Naturally reclusive and content to find its own pace. Not fond of boundaries it charts its course through feelings that become the fish’s compass. That compass can lead too far in one direction causing a course correction and a change occurs. The duality and mutability of Pisces. Similar to the ebb and flow of the tides.

On a Pisces Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse we know we are at the brightest part of the lunation, heightened emotions are classic reactions to this energy, positively or negatively. The Full Moon at the time of Eclipse has separated from Saturn in Pisces, feeling the responsibilities or expectations put on it by others. Something is fleeting but serious at the moment. Maybe a test of maturity, that can be understood in time and forgiven. Mature Pisces reflection and compassion is unmatched. Saturn in Pisces is opposite to Mercury in Virgo, requiring us to pause and give some serious thought to a situation. What needs clarification? What details did we miss? What words have not been spoken?

The Full Moon applies by sextile (excites and engages) to Uranus Taurus adding a feeling of awakening the changes you’d hoped for, with a little extra effort. The Pisces Full Moon has two rulers, Jupiter the traditional ruler and Neptune the modern ruler. They are both connected to this Eclipse, describing the translation of light that the Moon energy carries. Neptune in Pisces is 3 degrees away from Eclipse degree, meaning they conjoin shortly after Eclipse. Moon/Neptune contacts can heighten sensitivities, a highly intuitive timeframe. It can also create misunderstandings by misinterpreting moods, communications may be unclear.

The Full Moon/Eclipse will also be separating from a square to Jupiter in Gemini, you may have learned a lot about the area in your life that Gemini rules (House placement) The Moon in Pisces feels and Jupiter in Gemini thinks expansively or exaggerates that feeling, are you more generous with your communications? Are your feelings well received? Are you optimistic about moving forward with what you’ve learned or possibly ready to emotionally explore a new chapter? This Pisces Lunar Eclipse may highlight these ideas.

Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune

Frogs are a sensitive creatures , they have permeable skin that absorbs toxic materials. If there are lots of frogs in an area, that indicates a healthy environment. A frog die-off indicates a problem with water, air or soil in their habitat. Pisces moon conjunct Neptune is tuned into sensitivities like an amphibian. Be mindful of what you put in your body today as we may feel extra sensitive to it. Check the caffeine, alcohol and sugar levels in your diet and stay well hydrated…..We can also be in a mood to take time for ourselves, taking an escapist route or avoiding any unnecessary negative energy.

Compassion comes naturally today, you may help others just by listening. Music can transport us as well, if you have a music channel that chooses your favorites , tune in & change the mood instantly ! Neptune & Pisces rule the feet maybe elevating them to take off the pressure or soaking in water ~ taking a tub , sauna or swimming.
