Your Lunar Eclipse in Pisces Horoscope: Intuition Unleashed
September 17th brings the early dawn of a new eclipse cycle. While the Moon’s North and South Nodes still sit on the Aries and Libra axis through February of 2025 before fully shifting into Pisces and Virgo through 2026, we will have our first taste of the Pisces/Virgo dynamic as this eclipse will align at 25° of Pisces.
Eclipses are known for bringing significant changes to our lives and can also speed up the pace at which these changes happen. The complete window of time for an eclipse season is four weeks. It begins one week before the first eclipse (lunar, Sept. 9th) through one week after the second eclipse (solar, Oct. 9th). Some of you may already be noticing shifts of energy, while others may not notice anything significant until after our 2nd eclipse on October 2nd.
What stands out the most to me about tomorrow’s lunar eclipse, is how incredibly intuitive it is. Not only is it taking place in the sign of Pisces, deeply associated with intuition, dreams, and the spiritual dimensions of life, but it will also be conjunct the planetary ruler of Pisces, Neptune — which greatly magnifies these qualities. This lunar event offers a unique opportunity to tune into our inner voice and gain deeper insights. It’s a special moment for deep meditation and dream work. If you have a specific question to ask, this is the time to do it!

Aries Rising (12th House)
This eclipse marks the ending of an emotional chapter for you, one that’s been quietly building beneath the surface. It’s time to release what’s been holding you back— those old fears, self-doubt, or bad habits that aren’t getting you where you ultimately want to be. It’s time to take a real look at the ways you might be sabotaging your own progression and happiness.
This eclipse also signals the completion of karmic cycles, particularly those linked to past relationships or patterns you’ve been carrying for too long.

Taurus Rising (11th house)
This powerful lunar moment may bring an emotional culmination or a revelation related to the people you surround yourself with. Have certain relationships reached their expiration date? If so, this eclipse is your signal to let go and move on.
At the same time, you may experience a shift in your dreams and aspirations. Goals that once excited you may no longer feel aligned with who you’re becoming. It’s okay to evolve! This eclipse is asking you to reassess what truly lights you up and whether the communities you’re a part of support that growth.

Gemini Rising (10th House)
This is a major turning point for you professionally, and you may feel the need to evaluate your current path. Have you been climbing a career ladder that no longer resonates with your soul’s calling? Expect significant changes around your career, reputation, or even a long-term project that’s reaching its climax. If something isn’t working, this eclipse may bring an ending, but rest easy, it’s clearing space for new opportunities that are more aligned with your core self!
You might also find yourself rethinking your public image—how do you want to be seen in the world? This is the time to step into your power and make choices that reflect the person you are becoming, not the person you’ve been.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, this eclipse brings the opportunity to shake things up and go after the experiences that ignite your curiosity. It’s time to follow your sense of adventure and trust that the universe is guiding you toward growth.

New relationships could also enter your life, but keep in mind that eclipses are a time of destiny—people who come or go now are doing so for a reason.
This is also a time for balance, consider what you need versus what others expect from you. If certain dynamics have felt out of balance, this lunar event is likely to bring them to the surface for healing or resolution.
