September’s Eclipse Corridor: Dissolve → Discern → Deliver

September isn’t pulling any punches. We’re walking straight into eclipse season, and if you’ve been feeling like you’re juggling fog while Mercury sets your calendar on fire — well, congratulations, you’ve noticed, and you're not the only one!

This month gives us a Pisces Total Lunar Eclipse, a Gemini Last Quarter Moon, a Virgo Solar Eclipse at the last gasp of the sign, and a Capricorn First Quarter Moon to finish the job. Translation: things end, things unravel, things get swept up in Virgo’s obsessive cleaning spree, and then Saturn comes along to make sure we actually build something instead of just sighing into our oat lattes.

Let’s break it down.

I think what makes this month so dynamic is that so many things that have been brewing are finally on their way to some form of culmination. As you know, my dear mystic, everything comes in cycles. A waveform that happens discretely, and paradoxically interwoven with several other waveforms. Everything in the physical world, whether it is an event, a life or even a microcosmic organism, all begins with an inception, followed by a trajectory of increase, a culmination and then a decrease which completes in cessation. Cycles within cycles, waveforms, interwoven into other waveforms.

Eclipses, though, are especially striking in terms of the cycles of our lives and the experiences that are either beginning or ending. When these alignments occur, they appear to be intrinsically linked to events in our lives that have come to critical mass in a manner of speaking. Something is either set to begin or end. And, in so doing, we are set on another waveform that carries us into the next chapters of our lives.

That being said, my dear Mystic, an eclipse doesn't promise a dramatic showing of this beginning or end. The configuration between the Sun, Moon and Earth that is an eclipse can actually set things in motion in a very subtle way. We can just feel a shift, or have an inner knowing that from this point forward, everything will be different.

In some cases, this energy can manifest in very dramatic ways. Projecting us into new circumstances or life conditions. Other times, something significantly and demonstratively draws to a close. Either way, it's not just the eclipse itself we need to watch for, but instead keep an eye on the energy that is shifting in your life. Keep your awareness trained on the waveform that is flowing and which areas of your life seem to be agitating.

Here are the Lunations coming in September and the dates that complete the cycle of eclipses for 2025

🌕 September 7 — Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (15°22′)

Ruler: Jupiter. Keywords: unravelling, catharsis, soggy tissues.

Lunar eclipses are Full Moons on steroids, so to speak, except instead of feeling extra, you usually feel like the universe just rang the “plot twist” bell. In Pisces, the sign of dissolution, dreams, and “what even is a boundary?” — we’re looking at an ending with emotional undertow. Something’s been floating around in the background, and now it rises up, soggy and undeniable. That thing that has been hovering around and has left you asking - is this ever gonna end? It is about to come to a close. I'm not promising there won't be dust to settle, but I am saying that whatever you may be saying goodbye to is closer to finally being done. For some of us, this may be painful and feel like a severing of a long-standing tie. For others of us, it may come as the long-awaited catharsis that sets us free.

My advice - Let it go. Really. Do the ugly cry, run a bath, pour one out for what’s leaving. The point isn’t to save it — it’s to dissolve it. Jupiter wants you to remember: there’s grace in a clean goodbye. Whatever is going on isn't meant for you anymore, and it's more than ok to move on.

🌗 September 14 — Last Quarter Moon in Gemini (21°52′)

Ruler: Mercury. Keywords: too many tabs open, delete three.

Quarter Moons are decision points, and the Last Quarter is where we stop fiddling around and start cutting. In Gemini, the cut is mental. Ideas, conversations, distractions, that podcast you swear you’ll listen to but never do — it’s all noise. If Pisces eclipsed you into a puddle, Gemini, here is basically your brain saying: “For the love of the gods, just pick one narrative already.”

Don't take that the wrong way. It's not a criticism or a punishment. Instead, it's the universe conspiring in your favour. As the Lunar eclipse has either begun or completed the work of dissolving something in your life, the last Quarter Moon is helping you to collect and focus your thoughts. Tough decisions are still tough, but you can use this energy to clearly define what was perhaps unclear for you previously.

So, in my opinion, this energy is here to help you pick one. One plan, one path, one inbox folder. And if you must argue with someone, keep it short — Mercury likes to communicate, and when the Moon is in a Mercury-ruled sign, it's all about being efficient. In Gemini, sometimes we fight the battle between what the heart wants and what the head needs. Do your best to avoid dividing your attention. Instead, focus on matters in front of you by priority. Use Gemini's airy nature to think logically.

🌑 September 21 — Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (29°05′)

Ruler: Mercury. Keywords: purge, polish, perfectionism on its last legs.

Ahh, here we are back in Elcipse town... and the Sun is the mayor. A solar eclipse is a New Moon with a kick: something shuts down so a different door can creak open. At 29° Virgo, once again we’re talking about endings-with-a-flourish, Virgo-style. That means spreadsheets, reorganizing your spice rack, rituals of purification, and tying bows on things you’ve left dangling for months. It’s not about chasing perfection; it’s about finishing what you’ve been polishing into dust. If Virgo is good at anything, it's proficient in observing patterns, but masterful in calling out inconsistency in those patterns. It is able to sort through that which is useful and that which nas become out-moded.

Advice: Don’t overdo it. Just close the damn file, send the email, or finally let that “work in progress” become either “done” or “deleted.” Your future self will thank you.

🌓 September 29 — First Quarter Moon in Capricorn (7°05′)

Ruler: Saturn. Keywords: bricks, deadlines, reality checks.

Finally, the First Quarter in Capricorn. If Pisces sobbed, Gemini babbled, and Virgo polished, Capricorn says, “Cute. Now, actually build something.” Saturn rules this sign, so we’re dealing with responsibility, structure, and the slow grind of real progress. No shortcuts. No manifesting your way out of it. Just brick by brick.

Advice: Pick one structure and stick to it. Schedule, budget, boundary, ritual — it doesn’t matter what, as long as it’s durable. Saturn rewards effort, not excuses.

The Eclipse Season In a Nutshell

Think of September as a three-act play with an extra scene tacked on:

• Act I: Pisces (Sept 7) — The waters rise. You let go, you weep, you float something out to sea.

• Act II: Gemini (Sept 14) — You stop talking in circles and trim the noise.

• Act III: Virgo (Sept 21) — You purify, finish, or clean out the metaphorical (and literal) closet.

• Encore: Capricorn (Sept 29) — You build. Slowly, seriously, sustainably.

If You Want It Personal…

If you want to know more specifically about how and where these final eclipses of the 2025 series are affecting you, check where Pisces and Virgo fall in your chart. That axis is where the eclipses are doing their heavy lifting. Those of us with personal planets or sensitive points in the sign of Virgo are likely to feel this energy very powerfully. Wherever these signs land in your chart is sort of in the “plot shift” zone, so watch those houses for big closures and sharp pivots. Capricorn is where you’ll need to get serious, and Gemini is where you’ll have to stop spreading yourself thinner than supermarket hummus. To be fair, not all supermarket hummus is thin!

Last But Not Least

Contrary to what some internet folks might have said, Eclipses aren’t times to manifest or launch your passion project. They’re times of major beginnings and endings. Instead take a little time to sit back, observe the waveforms undulating in your life. See the places in your world that seem to be touched by agitation or stagnation. Remember that everything in life is temporal in nature and that something is always starting and something else is stopping. The passive and active forces in our lives are always in motion. Do your best to avoid doing anything irreversible while the proverbial lights are flickering. Think of September as cosmic housekeeping: Pisces floods the basement, Gemini tells you to cancel half your subscriptions, Virgo organizes the junk drawer, and Capricorn comes in to build the new shelves.

Take it slow, take it wry, and when in doubt: don’t force it, go with the flow, surf the waves. After all, if nothing changes, nothing changes.
