Just like life, astrology vacillates between moments of intensity and calm. As we approach the upcoming lunar eclipse and solar eclipse in September, we enter our second eclipse season of the year, one that brings some of your greatest and most aligned transformationg.
When is Eclipse Season 2025?
This month walks us into our second and final eclipse season of the year with a lunar eclipse coinciding with the full Moon in Pisces on September 7, 2025, and a solar eclipse coinciding with the new Moon in Virgo on September 22, 2025.
What is an Eclipse?
We are familiar with the dance of the Sun, Moon, and Earth that brings us a new and full Moon every 28 days. Eclipses, however, are a form of that dance in which the Moon reaches the upper or lower threshold of its tilted elliptical orbit. These boundaries represent the Lunar Nodes. When the Moon reaches these thresholds, it also forms a perfect alignment with the Sun and Earth. It is here that the new Moon becomes a solar eclipse and the full Moon a lunar eclipse.
This interaction between the Moon and the Lunar Nodes is what makes eclipses so special. According to astrology, the Lunar Nodes represent destiny, purpose, and evolution. An eclipse brings an alignment of the Sun, which represents our spirit and life force, with the Moon, which represents our intuition and inner truths and emotions, and the Earth, which is the foundation upon which we bring our destiny into reality. When this happens, the sense of purpose held by the Lunar Nodes seems to access a way through which our call of destiny, alignment, or evolution can reach us.

What Eclipse Season Means for You
There are often moments in life where our direction takes a clear shift. Looking back, we can note when a chapter ended or a new one began. We could even say we have experienced multiple lifetimes within one, whether these changes were initiated through moments of bliss or our most profound despair.
Eclipses are often behind these changes. At these times, what is meant for us is as clear as what is not aligned for us. It can feel as if this is where the voice of guidance—whether we consider that to be the soul, higher self, intuition, sacred, or something else—seems to get louder, clearer, and more resonant than ever before.
It can also seem as if change meets us both from within by speaking through our emotions, ideas, or knowing as well as from our outer reality though changes that are thrust upon us in ways that feel we have no way. Change seems to be at the core of eclipse season as does a greater purpose behind the change.
Eclipses bring the kind of cracking open that, when we look back, seems to be the very doorway into everything good, whole, and real that follows for years to come. Although we may not always see the purpose at the moment, there is an element of surrender being asked of us, a trust that what is most aligned for us is transpiring, regardless of whether we know how that will play out.
There is an undeniable force etched into the very fabric of this season. Eclipses are the sacred within transformation. At the core of eclipse season is a strength, a presence, a purposefulness, and an alignment that seems to bring us closer to who we are and closer to life itself, whether that direction is felt in the moment or reveals itself further along our way.
And if we know anything about transformation, it is that we cannot control it and we cannot orchestrate it, just as we cannot journey through it only with the mind. It is within transformation that we are often led to our edges where the only option from there is to unclench our hands, breathe out, allow, and trust in ourselves—and in life.
