Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 2024 - and Tarot Readings for Each Zodiac Sign

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 2024 lights up the heavens on September 17th at 10:34 PM EDT. This is the first in a series of eclipses on the Virgo/Pisces axis, which continues into 2027. The eclipses for the past two years put the focus on independence and cooperation (Aries/Libra); this new series is centered on service and sacrifice (Virgo/Pisces).

Before we dive more into this vibe, I want to say that eclipses get a bad rap. Sure, they’re intense, but that doesn’t mean they should be viewed with fear. Instead, approach these lunar heavyweights with respect – and an open mind. Eclipses are like ripples – something has been lurking under the surface, and it can no longer be hidden. An eclipse sheds light on what needs to change. If you groove with this vibe, you can clear away blockages, old stories, and unproductive thoughts. In a way, it’s like draining a bathtub after the water has become dirty and cold. As it swirls down the drain, you are free to fill your tub all over again.

During eclipse season, it’s crucial to slow down and prioritize self-care. Emotions can be super-charged, both yours and other people’s, making it too easy for misunderstandings. The more mindful you are, the less likely you’ll experience drama. Some situations or people could get “eclipsed” out of your life, but it’s best to let go. A few days later, you might see that exit was for your benefit. Sometimes it’s hard to release your grasp, especially if you assume this was “it.” However, eclipses eventually reveal the truth, so be patient and trust the universe knows better than you.

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces happens at 25º – if you have mutable planets close to this degree, you might feel its effects more strongly than others. Even so, everyone usually feels eclipse energy in some way. Pisces is associated with sacrifice, suggesting that something might need to be relinquished for the greater good. For example, you might be called to put your needs aside to care for a loved one. Or you may have to press pause on a goal because there are other things that need your attention. Do not assume your sacrifices will be for naught. Rewards will come, so don’t lose faith.

Speaking of which, Pisces is associated with spirituality. This Lunar Eclipse might test your beliefs in some way. You might want to engage in spiritual practices to help you ride the wave – or perhaps it’s time to examine your ideals. There is nothing wrong with doing this periodically. It might help strengthen your spiritual life or embrace something new.

Emotions and intuition are also part of Pisces’s realm. Let your feelings flow and trust your instincts, which should be sharper than usual. However, if your emotions are getting the best of you, give yourself permission to step back until you feel grounded. Of course, you can also seek support if need be.

Boundaries can get blurry under a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. Be ready to reinforce them as needed. Don’t feel guilty either (Pisces energy can be empathic in an unhealthy way). Protect your energy!

The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces is surrounded by two challenging aspects: a Venus-Chiron opposition on the 16th at 5:29 PM EDT and a Mercury-Saturn opposition on the 18th at 4:50 AM EDT. This adds challenges with relationships, communication, and old, tired narratives. While it’s wise to sidestep drama as much as possible, there is also the potential to face toxic situations once and for all. Stand in your power, handle your business, and let the healing begin.
