“To rise from our ashes like the Phoenix”
On September 7, 2025, at 9:08 p.m., a total lunar eclipse will occur at 15° Pisces. This eclipse reminds us of the need to leave the burdens of the past behind and turn a new page in our lives.
The Meaning of Eclipses
Eclipses are turning points in astrology. Lunar eclipses, in particular, highlight themes of closure, confrontation, and liberation from the past. Occurring near the lunar nodes, they lend these events a fateful quality.
In karmic astrology, eclipses facilitate the emergence of karmic issues carried in the subconscious. This enables the closure of unfinished business and the clarification of unseen connections.
Pisces Solar Eclipse Themes
Pisces is the realm of dreams, intuition, spirituality, and compassion. The eclipse will intensify this energy, bringing processes related to self-sacrifice, the subconscious, and surrender to the surface. Emotional closures, inner confrontations, and letting go of issues that no longer serve you are on the agenda. During this period, meditation, dreams, and intuition can carry powerful messages; while surrender and the search for healing come to the fore, inspiring breakthroughs may also accompany them.
The position of the eclipse indicates that things hidden from us or behind the scenes in our lives will be revealed, and at the same time, a process of inner purification will begin.
The ruler of the eclipse, Neptune, indicates that invisible, subconscious, or behind-the-scenes situations may come to the fore, and karmic issues from the past may be revisited. Its retrograde motion emphasizes unfinished cycles and confrontation. This eclipse will present us with the challenge of balancing logic with intuition, order with flow.
The rising Taurus during the eclipse brings us the theme of “security, permanence, and tangible values.” In other words, the closures we will experience are actually happening to establish us on a more solid foundation. After emotional closures, opportunities for growth will arise in the areas of family, roots, belonging, and inner security. Thanks to Jupiter’s protective influence, even a difficult confrontation can lead us to healing and expansion.
With the influence of the fixed star Ankaa, it is time to leave the past behind and rise from your ashes like the Phoenix.
Personal Effects
Relationships, projects, or habits that need to end in our lives may come to a close. Hidden issues come to light and an inner cleansing process begins. This eclipse offers a powerful opportunity for emotional relief and the ending of unresolved cycles. In particular, the ending of uncertain ties and leaving behind situations that no longer serve us may come to the fore. The crises that arise call us to “time for change.” Whether we want it or not, change is inevitable. While the sky has been questioning our sense of belonging in different areas since the beginning of this year, this eclipse will act like a great “wave of cleansing” in our lives.
The conjunction of the eclipse with the fixed star Ankaa is also noteworthy. Ankaa represents the Phoenix and reminds us of the power to rise from our ashes. This eclipse conveys the same message: It’s time to let go of the old to make room for the new. Every ending is actually the preparation for a new beginning.
Those with Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius placements between 12°–18° on their charts will be most affected by the eclipse. Those with planets or ascendants in these signs will experience great awareness, closure, and transformation in the areas of life affected by the eclipse. A connection with the Moon brings emotional closure, a connection with Venus brings transformation in relationships or finances, and a connection with Mars brings a bold ending. How the process unfolds is linked to the house where Neptune is located.
For Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, the process will be more supportive. Thanks to Jupiter’s opportunities, new doors may open after closures.
Past cycles are also significant: Themes that emerged in September 2006 and the following six months, as well as around 2016, may recur in similar forms.
Social Reflections
This eclipse will strongly affect not only our individual lives but also collective areas. With the influence of Pisces and Neptune, developments related to water and the seas may come to the fore. Issues such as maritime accidents, disputes over territorial waters, water pollution, and marine ecosystems may be on the agenda. Heavy rainfall, storms, and sudden weather changes may also occur more frequently during this period.
Migration and refugee issues are among the topics that may come to the forefront again in social debates.
At the relationship level, ego clashes, trust crises, and questioning of partnerships may be noticeable. Instead of diplomacy and compromise, parties may be more inclined to defend their own rights more aggressively.
In the economy, unexpected expenses, financial losses, or volatile conditions may arise. Activity may be particularly prominent in sectors related to water, fishing, and agriculture.
On the health side, digestive and stomach problems, sleep disorders, and stress-related ailments may become more apparent.
Neptune’s retrograde motion may bring issues such as information pollution, misdirection, or the concealment of certain facts to the forefront.
People may show more interest in meditation, spiritual practices, and alternative healing methods during this period.
The Message of the Eclipse
The September 7 Pisces eclipse reminds us that we need to leave behind issues that no longer serve a purpose in our lives. While endings can be challenging, the Taurus ascendant and Jupiter’s support indicate that we can emerge from this process stronger.
This eclipse invites us, on an individual and collective level, to purify, let go, and rebuild on a more solid foundation. For those who accept closure, the process will open the door to a powerful rebirth.
