I know how easy it is right now to feel like you’re slipping behind, like the chaos out there means you need to push harder in here. Eclipse seasons stir that pressure. They unearth what isn’t working and shine light on what we can’t carry forward.
But here’s what I need you to remember:
You are not behind.
You are not broken.
You are not late to your own life.
The lunar eclipse in September loosened what was never meant to be permanent. It asked us to let go of belonging that cost us our truth. And now, the solar eclipse invites us into a quieter kind of devotion—the commitments that make you feel safe in your own skin.
You don’t need to perform through this passage.
You don’t need to hold it all together.
What if you allowed yourself to pause, to feel the relief of not having all the answers yet?
By early October, the Full Moon in Pisces opens the door to rest. To exhale. To come home. This is the part of the cycle where you remember that being human—falling apart, piecing yourself back together, resting when you’re tired—is not weakness. It’s wisdom.
So if you’ve been bracing yourself against the noise, let this be your permission to soften. To trust your timing. To know that moving slowly is not the same as standing still.
You are allowed to breathe here.
Eclipse Passage
We’ve stepped into a cycle that asks us to sit with change.
The Full Moon eclipse on September 7th in Aquarius revealed what’s been stretched too thin…communities, ideals, or visions that no longer hold. Purva Bhadra is the flame of awakening. It doesn’t let us keep pretending. It shows us what can’t be sustained…just to belong.
And coming upon us, the New Moon eclipse on September 21st in Virgo brings us back to what matters. Where the lunar eclipse stripped away illusion, this one invites us to root into devotion…into the commitments that actually feel nourishing.
With Ketu moving through Leo, there’s a soft but firm release: the pressure to perform, to chase applause, to prove. In its place, authenticity. Care.
These eclipses aren’t just endings. They’re beginnings braided into endings. They ask us to surrender what is heavy and to recommit to what is true.
General Soli-Lunar Forecast
September 21 – October 20, 2025
This cycle begins with the New Moon in Virgo on September 21st, touched by the shadow of a solar eclipse. Virgo’s gift is clarity, and it sharpens our gaze, asking us to simplify, refine, and tend to the small, sacred details of daily life.
Eclipse energy isn’t about pushing forward. It’s an invitation to pause, to listen more than act.
This isn’t the moment for new intentions. It’s the clearing before alignment.
By October 6th, the Full Moon in Pisces closes the arc. Revati, the cosmic shepherd, gathers the pieces, reminding us we are never lost—we are always being guided home.
Where Virgo asked for precision, Pisces offers compassion.
Where Virgo refined something, Pisces softens it.
With Saturn retrograde close by, there’s a deeper teaching here: Wisdom isn’t about holding it all together.
Sometimes it’s discipline that steadies us.
Sometimes it’s surrender.
And knowing which one is needed—that’s maturity.
Planetary Weavings
Jupiter in Punarvasu Gemini renews faith through learning and reconnection. Returning to old wisdom or conversations may bring fresh insight.
Saturn Retrograde in Pisces Purva Bhadra calls for structure within vision, revealing what needs reshaping before it can last.
Rahu in Aquarius Purva Bhadra energizes unconventional pathways and collective shifts.
Ketu in Leo Purva Phalguni strips away the need for applause, centering authenticity over performance.
First Quarter Moon in Sagittarius Mula (Sept 29) shakes roots to clear what is no longer vital.
Last Quarter Moon in Gemini Punarvasu (Oct 12) gathers the threads, offering a gentle return to center.
Closing Blessing
May these eclipses lift the weight you’ve been carrying and clear space for what is real.
May Virgo’s discernment remind you it’s safe to simplify, and may Pisces’ compassion soften you back into breath.
May each phase of this cycle bring you closer to yourself—rooted, guided, never behind—always moving in rhythm with a greater care.
With steadiness, with tenderness,
