Total lunar eclipse 7 September 2025

Moon opposed Sun 15 degrees Pisces/Virgo – the focus is health and work/service to others.

Mercury in Virgo in rulership but combust Sun is somewhat damaged in 6th house. What emerges connected to a message and or paperwork associated with a work/health matter?

This eclipse is highlighting health and well-being. With an applying sextile to Jupiter, it shows the love and support of family.

All outer planets retrograde – Saturn/Uranus/Neptune and Pluto.

Saturn retrograde in Pisces – water sign

Neptune retrograde in Aries – fire sign

This Saturn/Neptune conjunction is associated with infrastructure – dealing with freaky weather events – these seem to straddle either a situation associated with too much water and or risk of fires.

This Saturn/Neptune conjunction is also associated with institutions/governments/business buckling under the weight of corruption scandals which will ultimately lead to their demise and collapse. With all this happening in 12th house it speaks about secrecy and hidden agendas. It is this Saturn Neptune conjunction that is sextile both Pluto and Uranus. Things have a momentum of their own. This adds impetus to force changes and or collapse.

Pluto is out of bounds to the South – Pluto is connected to power and control. With Pluto in the sign of Aquarius there is a growing sense of dissatisfaction from ordinary people that leaders are out of touch with their needs. Ordinary people need to take back their power. The lesson in Aquarius is that we have to take individual and collective responsibility for the societies we want to live in. We cannot expect those in power to do the right thing. We need to hold them accountable. We have witnessed the abuse of power when Pluto was in Capricorn. It’s time for dramatic changes.

Pluto conjunct Altair – the message associated with this star is to explore and be bold.

This eclipse is part of Saros Series New South and is concerned with bringing to the surface long term worrying news about a loved one connected to a health matter. Or it could relate to a worrying piece of news about a loved one. Whatever the news that is revealed, there will be a sense of destiny about the issues that unfold.

William Lilly indicated that Lunar eclipses in middle degrees (10 to 20 degrees) of Pisces indicated the death of a prominent man or a man of royal dissent.
