4 signs that will face challenges during the blood moon lunar eclipse

Eclipse Season Arrives with Cosmic Changes

The eclipse season is here, bringing with it some significant shifts and challenges that may test our resolve and perhaps reshape our path.

From September 7th to 8th, the lunar eclipse—a total moon in Pisces—will take place, marking a mystical moment in the skies.

A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth completely shadows the full moon. This phenomenon results in a striking red hue on the moon’s surface, which happens due to sunlight filtering and refracting as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere.

The eclipse kicks off at 11:28 a.m. ET and reaches its peak by 1:30 p.m. ET. While many around the globe will witness this celestial event, much of the U.S. may miss out since the moon will be below the horizon at that time.

Historically, eclipses have been known to spark significant revelations—breakups and breakthroughs alike. To put it another way, as poet Mary Oliver might say, they can feel like receiving an unrequested gift that’s somehow essential to personal growth.

Even though we might not visually see the moon turning red, its influence will definitely be felt. “Eclipse season functions somewhat like an orthopedic surgeon, carefully making adjustments to help us heal,” says astrologer Babs Chong. She notes that those with highly variable astrological signs will feel the eclipse’s impact the most.

If you fall under Pisces—be it your Sun, Moon, or Rising—you might experience a profound emotional reset. It may be a time to let go of past wounds, embrace mindfulness, and establish healthier boundaries—especially in relationships, according to spiritual advisor Letao Wang.

“Avoid escapism. Instead, redirect that creativity towards art, meditation, or healing work,” Wang advises.

Chong encourages Pisces individuals to let go of illusions and instead embrace clarity that this eclipse brings. It might be uncomfortable, but it’s certainly necessary for growth.

For those with Virgo placements, Chong mentions that they may struggle with instability during this time. This eclipse prompts a reevaluation of relationships and attachment styles.

Wang adds that Virgos must find a way to balance their trust in unseen forces while also conducting a thorough analysis of their romantic connections. His advice? Embrace flexibility and let go of rigidity for a healthier mindset.

Sagittarians might find themselves facing shifts within their home life, perhaps leading to some family dynamics or household conflicts. “Be prepared for some spirited discussions over dinner,” Cheung advises.

As for Geminis, the lunar eclipse will activate themes around career and public perception. They should prepare for potential disruptions or surprises from authoritative figures. It’s wise to stay calm and collected, especially if the stress escalates.
