On September 8, we will witness a total lunar eclipse in Pisces, visible from Japan for the first time in three years.

A lunar eclipse happens when the Full Moon aligns with the nodal axis—the line of the lunar nodes, often called the Dragon’s Head and Tail. This time, the Moon is tightly conjunct the North Node, making this Full Moon an especially powerful eclipse.

Astrologically, eclipses near the nodes are seen as fateful turning points. They often bring encounters, opportunities, or changes that can alter the course of life.

Adding to the significance, this year we have two New Moons in Virgo, with the next one also being a partial solar eclipse. Altogether, this autumn feels like a layered season of destiny and transition.

In the chart for this eclipse, the Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces both sit at the midpoint of their signs, allowing their energies to integrate more easily. The main theme this month is bringing your heart and your daily life into alignment.

The Sabian Symbols show that sudden insights and flashes of intuition may arrive, often alongside disruptions to everyday stability. Such moments may feel like profound, life-shaping experiences that leave a lasting mark. While the influence of a lunar eclipse can last up to six months, the coming two weeks are especially intense for breakthroughs guided by intuition.

Saturn and the outer planets form supportive aspects but are retrograde, pointing to the importance of inner reflection—working through ancestral patterns, subconscious themes, and matters of the heart. Guidance from unseen realms is also likely to be strong now.
