Partial Super Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: A Mystical Turning Point (18th September 2024)
In the early hours of the morning on September 18th 2024 (London time), there was a powerful Partial Super Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries deep mystical energy, and when paired with the transformative power of a lunar eclipse, we are in for a time of profound cosmic shifts.
With the Solar Eclipse in Libra coming up on the 2nd October 2024, we have a window of opportunity with this eclipse season, to really dive deeply into our sense of ourselves and let go of what no longer serves us.
So for now, let's dive into what the Lunar Eclipse means and how you can harness its energy in your life.
(Please bear in mind that this is a general overview and to get specific insight, you would need to have a look at where these astrological positions are in your natal chart, and see what other planetary or celestial bodies are also adding their essence into the mix).
What is a Partial Super Moon Lunar Eclipse?
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that partially obscures the Moon. During a super moon, the Moon is at its closest point to Earth (perigee), making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. This creates a powerful combination where the energy of the Moon is magnified during the eclipse, amplifying its emotional and spiritual impact on us.
While lunar eclipses are known for their ability to bring endings, revelations, and shifts in our emotional or subconscious world, this event will be especially intense due to the super moon's proximity to Earth. The Moon governs our inner world—our emotions, intuition, and unconscious desires—so expect major revelations to come to light, and for hidden feelings to surface.
Full Moon in Pisces: The Dreamer and Mystic of the Zodiac
Pisces is a mutable water sign, symbolized by the fish and ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, intuition, and transcendence. Pisces energy is sensitive, compassionate, and deeply connected to the unseen realms. It governs the collective unconscious, creativity, and spirituality, often encouraging us to connect with our higher selves or explore the mysteries of life.
When the Moon is in Pisces, emotions tend to run deep, and we may find ourselves feeling more intuitive, imaginative, and open to spiritual guidance. Pisces' influence urges us to let go of logic and control, allowing our intuition and emotions to guide us. It’s a time for surrender, trust, and allowing the flow of the universe to lead the way.
This lunar eclipse in Pisces will be a moment of heightened psychic awareness, where you may receive insights through dreams, meditation, or quiet reflection. It’s also a time of releasing old emotional baggage, particularly patterns related to self-sacrifice, escapism, and illusions.
Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces: A Double Whammy of Woo Woo
A Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces is an intensely mystical and emotional alignment, heightening intuition, dreams, and spiritual insight. The Full Moon brings illumination and completion, while Neptune, Pisces’ ruling planet, amplifies the dreamy, otherworldly energy of this water sign. During this conjunction, emotions run deep, and we may experience heightened sensitivity, vivid dreams, and a stronger connection to the collective unconscious. It’s a time of dissolving boundaries, allowing us to access hidden truths, spiritual messages, and healing. However, it’s also important to remain grounded, as Neptune’s influence can blur reality, leading to escapism, confusion, or idealism. This alignment encourages us to trust our intuition, release illusions, and embrace our spiritual journey.
Astrological Significance of the Eclipse
Lunar eclipses mark culminations and endings, often revealing truths that we’ve been avoiding. They invite us to release what no longer serves us so we can make room for new emotional and spiritual growth. With the Moon in Pisces during this eclipse, these themes are likely to manifest on an emotional or spiritual level.
Here’s what you can expect from this eclipse:
Emotional Cleansing and Release Pisces is deeply connected to our emotions and the collective unconscious. During this eclipse, we may experience a powerful release of pent-up emotions, old wounds, or patterns that we’ve been carrying for too long. This is an ideal time to let go of any emotional baggage, whether it’s a toxic relationship, a limiting belief, or unresolved grief. The energy of Pisces encourages healing through surrender, so allow yourself to fully feel and release whatever arises.
Heightened Intuition and Psychic Sensitivity Pisces is a sign that’s strongly connected to intuition, dreams, and the spiritual realm. Under this eclipse, your intuitive abilities may be magnified, making it a powerful time for meditation, journaling, or connecting with your higher self. Pay attention to dreams and any synchronicities or signs from the universe—they may hold important messages for you.
Spiritual Awakening and Transformation As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces represents the completion of a cycle and the potential for spiritual transformation. This eclipse may bring revelations or insights about your spiritual path, helping you release old karmic patterns and align with your higher purpose. It’s a time for spiritual growth and awakening, where you may feel called to explore new spiritual practices or connect more deeply with your inner wisdom.
Letting Go of Illusions and Escapism Pisces is also associated with dreams, fantasies, and sometimes illusions. This eclipse may reveal where you’ve been avoiding reality, escaping into fantasy, or holding onto illusions. Whether it’s a relationship that isn’t as fulfilling as you’ve convinced yourself it is, or a dream that isn’t grounded in reality, this eclipse will shine a light on where you need to get honest with yourself and let go of what’s no longer serving you.
How to Harness the Energy of the Partial Super Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
To make the most of this powerful lunar eclipse, here are a few tips for tuning into its energy:
Create a Sacred Space Set aside some time on or around September 18th to create a peaceful environment where you can reflect and connect with the eclipse energy. Light candles, play soothing music, and meditate on the changes you want to embrace. Pisces energy thrives in calm, spiritual settings, so allow yourself to create a space that feels sacred to you.
Practice Emotional Release Rituals Since lunar eclipses are a time of release, consider engaging in rituals that help you let go of old emotional patterns. You might write down what you wish to release (fear, anger, guilt, etc.) and burn the paper as a symbolic act of letting go. Pisces energy supports emotional cleansing, so allow yourself to fully express and release any feelings that surface.
Pay Attention to Your Dreams As a sign ruled by Neptune, Pisces is strongly connected to the dream world. Keep a dream journal during this period, as your dreams may offer insights, healing, or guidance. Be open to the symbolism and messages that come through your subconscious, and trust your intuition as you interpret them.
Engage in Creative or Spiritual Practices This is a wonderful time to tap into your creative or spiritual side. Whether it’s painting, writing, music, or any form of artistic expression, Pisces energy thrives on creativity and connection to the divine. Similarly, practices like yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature can help you align with the Piscean flow of the universe.
Embrace Compassion and Forgiveness Pisces is a sign of deep compassion and empathy. During this eclipse, focus on extending kindness and forgiveness to yourself and others. Release any grudges or unresolved conflicts, and allow healing to take place. This will free you to move forward with a lighter, more open heart.
Conclusion: A Time for Surrender and Renewal
So, to round up, this Partial Super Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 18th, 2024, offers a potent opportunity for emotional and spiritual transformation. This is a time to surrender to the flow of the universe, release what no longer serves you, and trust in the guidance of your intuition.
