Super Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces
Letting Go, Changes, Breakthroughs

This Full Moon, also known as the Harvest Moon, is a Super Moon, which means it will look much larger and brighter than usual, amplifying its energetic impact while at the same time the partial lunar eclipse brings an element of transformation and change
This lunar eclipse holds the theme of breakthroughs and endings. As Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac asks you to look at what is coming to an end in your life and how you are dealing with the process of letting it go. Or you may find that something is illuminated allowing you to see things you didn’t see before, that something has yet to be revealed that could bring a life-correcting shift to your current outlook or situation. Alternatively, you may reach a point allowing you to recognize the full story or cycle of whatever you have been going through. Because Pisces is ruled by water you may feel overly emotional and sensitive at this time, and anything and everything that happens could hit you hard.
Lunar Eclipses tend to close doors that you have had difficulty closing yourself. Sometimes the endings come as no surprise. Sometimes, they simply give you a little push in a direction you were already hoping to or supposed to travel. Other times they can bring swift endings that shake up your life in unseen ways. However, the endings you experience with this eclipse may be ones that you have seen coming for a while. Any breakthroughs are also likely to point you in the direction of closure, even if things feel uncomfortable at first. It’s always worthwhile remembering that eclipses put you where you need to be, even if you don’t like it at first! Eventually, with hindsight, you will see it was fated to happen.

Although you may feel like you are being pushed out of your comfort zone before you’re ready, you will reach the other side much further ahead if you can lean into these changes instead of fighting them. Eclipse energy can feature impulsive decisions and abrupt endings to jobs or relationships. And with this astrological lineup there is also a big focus on health and wellness. In any category, any changes made at this time are likely to be permanent and irreversible.
Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened dramatically at this time. The situations that these eclipses tend to elicit are ones of a time when there is a sudden realization of a great need or want. The impact of this can reveal that something important is missing in a relationship; and can also bring two people together with a sudden awareness of a great need for each other. And it is not always about relationships between two people. You can become aware of important elements missing in other areas of your life, such as your relationships with your family, your friends, your work, your health, your special interest groups, your community. Embrace it and see where it takes you next.
Neptune rules Pisces, thus it influences dreams, illusions and heightens creativity, but also blurs boundaries, potentially causing confusion or escapism. It’s essential to stay grounded to avoid idealism turning into disillusionment or deception. Because of the illusory planet nature of Neptune, you may be challenged to let go of some daydreams that are holding you back from embracing reachable reality - if you want to build something solid, you need to be able to ground yourself in the real world. Whatever happens now could prompt you to level up your thinking and get more serious about where you’d like to steer your life.
You are being asked to really tune in to how your feelings affect your actions, to see the world as it truly is. Try to channel these insights into making some concrete changes to your day-to-day life. Consider personal habits, triggers, and emotional wellbeing. This is a time when matters come to light – things that have been brewing inside of you, under the surface; and if you get in touch with your emotions, you can get a better idea of what needs to change or what needs to go.
Full Moon eclipses are a time when you are temporarily in the dark about a matter at the time of an eclipse and seeing some areas of life as if you’re looking at it through a magnifying glass. It’s distorted—you don’t yet have the full picture. Remember that you’re missing something and could prompt impulsive and misguided knee-jerk reactions. It may be wise to take your time to observe, take in and process rather than rush into immediate action, at least not without a sensible exit strategy in place.
Take some time to discern what you can and can’t control while trying not to impose your mind’s agenda in the process. You never quite know what you will get with an eclipse until after the eclipse. Pay special attention to what comes up three days before and after the eclipse, which will give you clues on what might be coming to fruition. Although the areas of life activated by the eclipse may see dramatic turns, it is giving you a cosmic push to make needed changes after which the path is clear to move forward.
“Release what was. Accept what is. Create what must be.”
Jeanette LeBlanc
In tarot, The Hanged Man encourages you to see things in a new light and teaches you the importance of surrender, letting go, patience, and gaining new perspectives in your own life. Try as you may, this lunation can be disruptive on your carefully curated schedule, routines and plans. You may see your life from a new angle when you’re in a state of passivity. Keep in mind that taking action is not always the best solution and in certain cases refraining from doing so might bring you just as much, if not even more benefits.
Take stock of this Partial Lunar Eclipses Super Full Moon, which will challenge you to release what is no longer aligned with your Soul’s truth. Release attachments to what was and focus on creating the future that is summoning you.
Peaceful Blessings,
