Embracing Emotional Truths and Cosmic Shifts
Mark your calendars! On September 17th 2024, the cosmos is sending us a celestial spectacle— a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 25 degrees of Pisces. Now, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill full moon; this is eclipse territory, which means things are about to get… intense. Pisces, the mutable water sign ruled by Neptune, is all about dreams, intuition, and the deep oceans of our emotions. So, yes, this eclipse might have you feeling like you’re swimming through a tidal wave of feelings. But don’t worry, it’s all part of the cosmic plan to bring clarity and transformation.
Eclipses are like the universe’s way of hitting the reset button on areas of our lives where things have gotten a little, well, stagnant. This particular lunar eclipse signals a major culmination point—a time when things that have been bubbling beneath the surface, like unresolved emotions, relationship dynamics, or even aspects of your health and work, are brought into the spotlight. Think of this as your cosmic moment of reckoning. Whatever you’ve been avoiding, clinging to, or just flat-out ignoring might come knocking (or barging) into your consciousness. But here’s the thing: these shifts, while uncomfortable, are working in your favour, nudging you closer to a more authentic, aligned version of yourself.
Eclipses: The Universe’s Drama Queens
Now, if you think a regular full moon can stir the emotional pot, wait until you experience a lunar eclipse. Typically, full moons illuminate what’s been hiding in the shadows—they act like a cosmic flashlight, shining light on what needs to be seen. But during an eclipse, it’s as if the universe decides to throw a blanket over the Moon. With the Earth casting its shadow, things get a little murkier, and as a result, our emotions can feel like they’re amplified to max volume. If you’re feeling everything all at once, don’t be surprised. That’s the eclipse doing its thing.
But here’s where it gets even more interesting: the effects of a regular full moon last a few days before and after, but a lunar eclipse? Oh, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. The energy of this eclipse can ripple through your life for up to six months, setting in motion events and shifts that will continue to unfold. So, if you feel like you’ve been emotionally blindsided, take a deep breath—this is just the start of a long-term journey that’s ultimately leading you to greater emotional and spiritual truth.

Pisces Vibes: Navigating the Cosmic Waters
Let’s talk Pisces for a moment. As the ruler of the twelfth house—the house of hidden things, dreams, the subconscious, and everything mystical—Pisces invites us to take a deep dive into our inner world. With this lunar eclipse happening in Pisces, you might feel a strong pull to explore the deeper emotional currents that have been running through your life. Pay close attention to your dreams, intuition, and gut feelings around this time. Your subconscious is working overtime to reveal insights you may not have been aware of. Whether it’s a long-buried emotion or a relationship dynamic that suddenly becomes crystal clear, this eclipse is all about uncovering the truth, no matter how murky it might seem at first.
And because Pisces is connected to empathy and psychic awareness, don’t be surprised if your intuition feels like it’s on steroids. Your inner voice may be louder than usual, guiding you toward realisations about your emotional well-being, relationships, and even your sense of purpose.
Uranus and Pluto: Plot Twists and Power Plays
Just when you thought this lunar eclipse couldn’t get any more interesting, enter Uranus and Pluto. These two heavyweights are getting involved, forming harmonious sextiles to the Moon during the eclipse. Let’s break it down: Uranus, the planet of rebellion, chaos and sudden change, is known for shaking things up—often in ways you least expect. Translation? Expect the unexpected. So, if you’ve been feeling stuck or like something in your life needs a serious overhaul, Uranus is here to help you break free. This energy is all about liberation, and it might come in the form of unexpected insights or shifts that push you out of your comfort zone.
Then there’s Pluto, the planet of transformation and sacrifice, is making an intense aspect to this lunar eclipse. So, yeah, sacrifices will be made—people, situations, routines that no longer serve you will have to go. This is the kind of energy that forces you to shed old layers so you can step into your power. It’s like the universe is saying, “If you’re not going to do it, I will.” Pluto is like the cosmic therapist—it helps you dig deep into your psyche, bringing hidden fears, desires, and truths to the surface. This lunar eclipse, with Pluto’s influence, could stir up some powerful emotional revelations. It’s the kind of energy that demands you face your inner world head-on, but the reward is a deeper understanding of yourself and what needs to be transformed.
Virgo vs. Pisces: Balancing the Practical with the Emotional
Oh, and did we mention we’re in Virgo season? While Pisces is all about intuition, emotions, and spirituality, Virgo is on the opposite side of the zodiac, focusing on the tangible—daily routines, health, and productivity. This eclipse creates a natural tension between these two energies, asking you to find a balance between the practical and the emotional, the tangible and the spiritual. How are your daily routines affecting your inner world, and vice versa? This is a time to reflect on how well you’re integrating your practical life with your emotional and spiritual well-being.
Take a moment to think about how you’re managing the little things—are they supporting your emotional health, or are they weighing you down? This eclipse is your chance to recalibrate, ensuring that the day-to-day tasks (Virgo) are in harmony with your emotional and spiritual needs (Pisces).

The Signs Most Affected: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces—Brace Yourselves!
If you happen to be one of the mutable signs—Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces—consider this your cosmic wake-up call. I hate to break it to you, but no one is going to feel this lunar eclipse more than you. Yep, you’re at the centre of the universe this time, like the main character in a drama you didn’t even audition for. You will be riding a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows—rapid mood swings, emotional purges, and all the feels. But don’t fret; it’s all part of clearing out the old to make space for the new.
Why, you ask? Well, let’s start with the fact that these four signs are all mutable, meaning they thrive on change (or at least they pretend to). They sit at the end of each season, making them naturally adaptable, flexible, and, let’s be honest, a bit unpredictable. Two of these signs—Gemini and Virgo—are ruled by Mercury, the cosmic chatterbox, while Sagittarius and Pisces have the expansive influence of Jupiter, the planet of abundance and growth. So, the stage is set for a series of events that will unfold over the next few years, thanks to this new Virgo-Pisces eclipse cycle that will last until 2027.
Think of this eclipse as Episode 1 of a new season, complete with new characters, plot twists, and dramatic exits. You’ll be navigating changes in every area of your life—your identity, your home, your relationships, and even your legacy. In short, everything is significant right now, so don’t sleep on the details.
Expect massive, unexpected transformations that will shift your life trajectory for the next two and a half years. Yes, years. This is no quick cosmic makeover. Whether you’re ready or not, your old life is going to have to go. You’re stepping into a whole new version of yourself. And let’s be real—it’s going to feel a little dramatic. Think grand finale-level energy. Full moons already tend to bring things to a head, but a lunar eclipse? That’s like turning the dial up to 11. Endings will happen—relationships, jobs, mindsets, habits, all could be on the chopping block. But don’t worry, it’s all part of the process of stepping into your most powerful self.
A Long-Term Shift: Eclipses and the Bigger Picture
Finally, it’s important to remember that this eclipse isn’t just a fleeting cosmic event. It’s the first lunar event in a new series of eclipses, and its themes will play out until 2027. So, while the energy might feel overwhelming right now, understand that this is the beginning of a longer narrative—a slow burn that will reveal itself over time. The areas of your life that Pisces and Virgo rule—your emotional world and your daily life—are being highlighted now, but this is just the start of the story.
So, what should you do during this lunar eclipse? First, give yourself some grace. The emotions that come up might be intense, but they’re showing you where healing and transformation are needed. Trust your intuition, reflect on what’s being revealed, and know that the changes happening now are ultimately aligning you with your emotional and spiritual truth.
The path ahead may be uncertain, but if you lean into the energy of this eclipse, you’re setting the stage for deep personal growth and transformation. Keep your inner compass steady, and let this eclipse be your guide as you navigate these cosmic waters.
