9/7 Pisces Lunar Eclipse – Defining Circumstances

nce

9/7 Are you defining circumstances or letting them define you?   

This Lunar Eclipse pulses with the signature of a Jupiter–Moon mutual reception, a cosmic reminder that our truest actions send out ripples most powerfully when aligned with the greater evolution. It takes us beyond judgment, punishment, or dividing life into right and wrong; it’s about harmony, care, and the capacity to hold ourselves and others with clarity, even when old wounds stir. This eclipse asks us to evolve pain into maturity that nurtures growth rather than fear.  When we keep our eyes on the past to avoid pain, it’s like trying to drive a car without taking your eyes off the rearview mirror.  While you may see the past clearly, it doesn’t give you good guidance on what’s in front of you right now. You don’t want past limitation imposed on present choices.

Our shadow side emerges when pain is expressed through imitation—trading authenticity for belonging—or when frustration flares because life’s rewards feel uncertain. We may vent our rage at imperfect outcomes or at those we feel have failed us. But confusion and imitation dissolve when we step into authentic action, guided by the bigger picture—even if it’s just a small, deliberate step. Then comes the practice of patience and trust: staying open, curious, and attentive to the unfolding outcomes. When nothing is certain, freedom arises—the space to discern which desires are truly worth your long-term investment. What you long for asks for your wholehearted presence; excuses keep you tethered to old limitations. Stories that once comforted you now serve as obstacles, waiting to be rewritten to fit you now.

Here is the core takeaway: Unless and until we can recognize, acknowledge, and accept our own pain, we project it onto the world around us. This is why we take time to do these rituals and engage with this guidance — to deepen our ability to fully experience life in all its shades, shadows, and brightness. We no longer let what happens dictate the story.  Instead what matters is what we do with whatever happens. We need to stretch into the risk of uncertainty, learning how the clarity within us can bring about outcomes that exceed expectations—when we give it time and continue working with it as it unfolds. Not to bend it to our will, but to shape what is there beautifully, in harmony with what emerges.

When we learn to do this for ourselves, however imperfectly, we bring greater stability to our interactions, even as others present their own limits or shortcomings. That freedom to remain centered when another is off balance creates the potential for kinder, richer co-creation. It also increases the likelihood of a helping hand when we are knocked off balance. This lunar cycle is a release of the fear and cruelty that demands punishment, while teaching us how to grow stronger together.

With Mercury exalted in Virgo, paired with The World card, the question becomes: What story are you telling yourself and the world? Do you really know the power in your story?  The circumstances do not define you; rather, you define the circumstances by the meaning you give them.  It is precisely when things fail to go ‘as planned’ that your creativity emerges.  But only if you move through the disappointment or disillusionment over unexpected outcomes. When Venus squares Uranus this lunar cycle, she offers an opportunity to stretch out of immediate gratification and into deeper relationship with what we desire.  Pain avoidance has us run from impulse to impulse for a quick hit of enjoyment.  But there is an investment that willingly faces the discomfort of growth in pursuit of our true heart’s desire.

This lunar cycle invites you to reclaim your investments in yourself. Trade the story of suffering for one that honors the risks you took in pursuit of something radiant. The eclipse illuminates where your past interpretations can be rewritten, opening a richer, fuller life story. Your perspective has expanded—why linger in the old tired tale? You risked pain for what your soul truly longs for. Now you can grow deeper into what truly deserves your energy. And remember: the Universe only pauses, it never ends. Some struggles were just chapters, not the whole story.

Mars square Jupiter invites you to balance force with care. Release old debts of pain and nurture resilience in the present—this is where your power lives. If someone doesn’t value you, it’s not your worth; it’s a mismatch. Crumbs at a banquet aren’t your measure—they’re what they offer. Let go, tend the sting, and open to those willing to recognize your value. These moments challenge you, stretch your discernment, and grow your patience.

Claiming your worth may be a journey, requiring honest, gentle dialogue that evolves both parties. Rupture can become repair, and repair strengthens bonds that last. Lean into discovery, explore potential, and release those who cannot meet you along the way.

The Sun conjunct the South Node in Virgo stirs memory, touching childhood echoes and past-life whispers. Yet you are more than history—you are the sum of all your experience. Holding on to what doesn’t work—mentally, physically, or emotionally—contracts well-being. This eclipse shows: health expands when we release fear, trust life’s redirection, and receive it as love, not punishment. Where can you trust yourself and the Universe more, with patience and less judgment? Support yourself physically, emotionally, mentally—build your self-care kit and give yourself what fits.

The Moon aligned with the North Node in Pisces calls toward boundlessness, healing, and connection with the collective. Exalted Jupiter in Cancer whispers: balance self-care with compassion. Too little focus, and you imitate to belong; too much, and you demand life bend to your will. Find the sweet spot—your Goldilocks zone—where tending to yourself amplifies generosity, co-creation, and soulful connection. The banquet awaits; step forward and discover more of what you enjoy now.

This lunar cycle is awkward and beautiful—a stumble toward healthier interdependence. Bring your humor, or companions who can help you laugh while you find your feet, defining each moment with feeling, language, and action that honors who you are now.

The Cards and Stars will help.

Thank you,

LUNAR ECLIPSE TAROT & RELEASE Ritual

This eclipse is asking us to reflect, release, and realign. The Tarot pull mirrors the astrology, offering a practical, energetic roadmap for integrating this cycle’s lessons.

Mind – Mercury – The World
The story you tell yourself shapes your experience. What old repetitive stories are ready to be rewritten? The World card invites you to acknowledge completion, expansion, and wholeness. Take note of the beliefs, patterns, or judgments that no longer serve your growth, and consider how you can tell a richer story moving forward.

Body – Venus – Nine of Cups (Heart’s Desire)
Self-care is central this cycle. Venus reminds us that nurturing our needs isn’t indulgence—it’s essential. Ask yourself: Where can I honor my true desires without guilt or compromise? The Nine of Cups encourages savoring the fulfillment that comes from aligning action with authentic longing.

Heart – Sun/Moon semi-square sesquisquare Sun – Eight of Cups
This card represents what must be released to make space for the present. It’s a conscious stepping away from patterns, relationships, or self-expectations that tether you to the past. By letting go, you invite emotional renewal and the freedom to engage fully with what matters now.

Spirit – Virgo Sun South Node – Hermit
The Hermit calls for reflection beyond self-interest. Integration comes from holding your own limits and pain without expecting others to correct or mirror them. This is the energy of resilient self-guidance, enabling wiser interactions and deeper co-creation in your relationships and community.

Release Ritual Suggestion

1. Set a clear intention: Light a candle or hold a stone to anchor your focus. Speak your intention aloud: “I release fear, cruelty, and the need for punishment. I claim strength, clarity, and compassion.”

2. Reflect with Tarot or journaling: Pull a card or write freely about old narratives, unresolved emotions, and recurring patterns. Notice what emerges.

3. Embodied release: Move your body—dance, stretch, or breathe—letting tension, frustration, and fear flow out of your system. Imagine these energies dissolving into the Earth or air.

4. Integrate: Close your ritual by naming one small, actionable step you can take in alignment with your authentic self. Commit to observing how this step changes your energy over the coming days.

5. Gratitude and closure: Offer gratitude for lessons learned, resilience built, and the opportunity to co-create more harmoniously.

This Lunar Eclipse is an invitation to honor your whole self—shadows and light, past and present, grief and joy. By recognizing, integrating, and releasing, you not only grow your personal resilience but also create the conditions for kinder, more connected interactions with the world.  These are unprecedented times, how kind can you be while you help give birth to a whole New World?

✨ Affirmation for this cycle: “I honor my pain and my joy. I release what no longer serves me and step fully into my authentic, co-creative power.”
