A Blood Moon Reset: Energetics of the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
This weekend we meet a powerful moment in the sky: the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, also called the Corn Moon or the Blood Moon. On September 7th, the moon rises into her fullness, cloaked in eclipse energy that magnifies endings, transitions, and breakthroughs.
Psst… It’s called Corn Moon because of it’s timing near autumn and harvest season and Blood Moon because of the burnt orange/red hue effect the lunar eclipse will have on the moon in the night sky.
Eclipses are turning points. They bring a sense of fate, of divine timing—like the universe pressing “reset” on something in our lives. And when an eclipse happens in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, it carries the added weight of closure and spiritual release. This is a time of deep emotional clearing, of dissolving the old, and of trusting that what is leaving is meant to go.
Pisces Full Moon Energetics
Pisces energy is sensitive, intuitive, imaginative, and spiritual. Plus, the last sign of the zodiac - this is a symbolic ending and release. It calls us into surrender—to let go of what we’ve been trying to control and instead trust the larger flow of life. Under this moon, emotions may swell like tides, bringing both healing tears and intuitive clarity.
Because the moon is opposite the sun in Virgo, this eclipse also lights up the Virgo–Pisces axis:
Virgo: devotion, healing, detail, grounding in the body.
Pisces: surrender, compassion, imagination, spiritual attunement.
Together, they remind us that true healing comes from both structure and softness. We need the ritual and the practice (Virgo) as much as we need the dream and the letting go (Pisces).
Eclipse Themes
Here are some of the things we may be feeling collectively:
Release & Closure – Endings may feel fated, especially in relationships, habits, or creative paths.
Emotional Clarity – Old grief or stuck energy arises to be cleared, offering breakthroughs of understanding.
Intuition Activated – Dreams, synchronicities, and inner knowings may be louder than usual.
Simplify & Re-align – An urge to declutter, cleanse, or reset routines.
Spiritual Connection – A deepening desire to pray, meditate, honor ancestors, or access wisdom beyond the logical.
Journaling Prompts
Invitation to set aside quiet space, light a candle, and let these journal prompts guide your reflection:
What am I being invited to release right now—even if it feels uncomfortable?
Where in my life am I still trying to control the outcome, rather than trusting the flow?
What spiritual practices or rituals bring me back to my own inner compass?
What emotions are surfacing that I’ve been avoiding—and how can I honor them instead of suppressing them?
If this eclipse is a reset button, what chapter am I ready to close? And what am I calling in next?
Full Moon + Eclipse Practices
Here are some ways to work with the energies of this full moon and eclipse:
🌑 Release Ritual
Write down what you are ready to let go of—habits, relationships, thought patterns.
Tear up, throw out or bury the paper as a symbolic release.
🌊 Water Clearing
Pisces is a water sign—connect with water through a ritual bath or shower, ocean swim, or simply placing a bowl of water under the moonlight.
As you immerse, visualize old energy dissolving away.
🎶 Sound or Movement
Move energy through your body with sound healing, humming, chanting, or dance.
Allow emotions to flow through movement rather than staying stuck in the mind.
🕯️ Ancestral Connection
Create a simple altar with photos, flowers, or offerings to honor your ancestors.
Speak words of gratitude and ask for their guidance as you step into your next chapter.
🧘 Meditation & Breathwork
Practice a short breathwork or meditation for grounding.
Imagine a column of light washing through your body, clearing old energy and filling you with clarity.
This eclipse is a moment of cosmic surrender. If something is leaving your life now, trust that it is divinely timed. If emotions rise up, let them flow. If clarity arrives, let it guide you forward.
The invitation is simple yet profound: release what no longer serves, honor the wisdom surfacing, and trust the unseen currents that are carrying you toward what’s next. This time is both an ending and a new beginning. A reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is let go and make space for new beginnings.
May this moon bring the release, clarity, and healing that our souls are ready for.
