On September 17th at 10:34 PM ET, we have a powerful celestial event—a Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Pisces, a water sign ruled by Neptune, governs the subconscious, dreams, and our spiritual connection. The dreamy, emotional waters of Pisces combined with the intensity of a lunar eclipse can bring deep revelations, emotional clarity, and spiritual awakenings.
Let’s dive into what a Partial Lunar Eclipse is and what we can expect during this Full Moon.
What’s the difference between a total and partial Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. There are two types of lunar eclipses:
Total Lunar Eclipse: The entire Moon passes through Earth’s shadow, turning the Moon a deep red or coppery color. This is often called a "Blood Moon" because of its eerie glow.
Partial Lunar Eclipse: Occurs when only a portion of the Moon enters Earth’s shadow. During this event, part of the Moon will appear darkened while the other part remains illuminated. Although not as dramatic as a total eclipse, partial eclipses still bring powerful energy, especially when paired with the Full Moon.
Throughout history, eclipses have been viewed as ominous events, often associated with the end of an era or dramatic change. In ancient times, people feared eclipses, believing they were a sign of danger or misfortune. Today, we know they represent cosmic shifts and opportunities for growth and transformation.
What to expect during this Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse?
Full Moons are always about culmination, closure, celebration, balance, and release, but an eclipse adds an extra layer of intensity. Things may come to a sudden, surprising end, or long-awaited truths might finally come to light.
Pisces is deeply emotional, and the eclipse will likely amplify those feelings. You may find yourself more in tune with your inner world, facing long-buried emotions that are now ready to be released. It’s a time to let go, find balance, trust the process, and embrace the new beginnings on the horizon.
How to use this energy?
The Full Moon will occur at 25 degrees in Pisces. If you know your natal chart, check what planets you have in Pisces, especially around 25 degrees.
🌕 Meditation and journaling: Pisces energy encourages reflection. Meditate on what you’re ready to release, and journal your thoughts and emotions. This is a potent time for balancing, focusing on your emotional healing and spiritual growth
🌕 Tap into your intuition: Your intuitive senses will be heightened, so trust your gut feelings. If something feels off, pay attention to it. Eclipses are said to be a time when the veil between the conscious and subconscious is thinner, making it easier to receive intuitive messages
🌕 Let go of what no longer serves you: Use this eclipse energy to release old patterns, limiting beliefs, or emotional baggage. Write down what you’re ready to let go of and symbolically burn the paper as a ritual of release (safely, of course!)
🌕 Embrace compassion: Pisces is a compassionate sign. Use this energy to show kindness to yourself and others. Forgiveness and empathy are important themes during this Full Moon
🌕 Dreamwork: Pay attention to your dreams during this time, as they may carry significant messages. Keeping a dream journal can help you decode the symbols and insights that arise
