1. The astrological core

On September 7–8, 2025, a total lunar eclipse takes place at 15° Pisces. This is no ordinary Full Moon: with an eclipse, the charge is intensified, and unconscious themes are brought to light.

Pisces is the sign of connection, compassion, and mysticism. Under this Full Moon, it may feel as if the veil becomes thinner and collective emotions flow through us.

The key words for this Full Moon are:

Big feelings
Big dreams
Overwhelming emotions
Compassion
Optimism

The ruler of Pisces is Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This brings both light and shadow:

Excess: drowning in emotions or giving too much.
Excellence: spiritual growth, refinement, bringing out the best version of yourself.
Overcommitment: promising or taking on more than is feasible.
Longing for mysticism: the desire to look beyond visible reality and connect with the divine.

2. The Saros cycle 128: a family of crisis and transition

This eclipse belongs to Saros cycle 128, a family of lunar eclipses that repeatedly coincides with moments of rupture and reorientation. Bernadette Brady emphasizes in her work that such a Saros series carries a kind of “family theme”: something old must be released, often through crisis, so that a new direction can arise.

3. Historical echoes of Saros 128

1917 – The Russian Revolution: not only the structure of power collapses, but also the emotional foundation of millions. Families lose loved ones, collective fear and despair sweep through the people. The apparitions at Fátima touch precisely the faith and emotions of the masses.
1935 – Social Security in the U.S. brings emotional relief to the vulnerable; in Germany, the introduction of the Nuremberg Laws stirs deep fear and exclusion within families. Here the focus is on the emotional impact of laws on human lives.
1953 – The breakthrough of the polio vaccine offers hope and relief to millions of families; at the same time, the Korean armistice brings a sigh of relief, but also lingering anxiety. The emphasis lies on the emotional experience of health and peace.
1971 – The Nixon shock creates uncertainty and distrust: a collective sense of insecurity around money. Greenpeace strikes an emotional chord worldwide: anger and deep concern for the Earth.
1989 – The fall of the Berlin Wall is not only a geopolitical fact, but a tidal wave of emotions: joy, tears, renewed hope, and painful grief over decades of division.
2007 – The financial crisis provokes collective panic and fear around savings, homes, and the future. At the same time, the Nobel Prize for the IPCC brings hope and recognition for those who had long worried about the climate.

Red thread: Saros 128 (Moon) always touches the collective emotional field: fear, hope, compassion, dreams, and disillusionments that deeply affect the sense of belonging and safety.

Both the lunar eclipses (Saros 128) and the solar eclipses (Saros 154) belong to the same Saros family: Saros Series 9 New South. They therefore share the same astrological signature described by Bernadette Brady (Mercury–Saturn–Neptune conjunction, New Moon on the Venus/Pluto midpoint).

Yet their expression differs:

Saros 128 – Lunar EclipsesEmphasize the collective emotional field. Old fears and dreams break open; feelings of compassion, loss, or hope come raw to the surface.
Saros 154 – Solar EclipsesAffect the systemic order. Laws, structures, health systems, and economic patterns come under pressure and demand reform.

Together they show how one and the same Saros family manifests both in the emotional life of people (Moon) and in the structures of society (Sun).

4. Meaning for 2025

In 2025, this Saros series may once again bring collective shifts:

NATO and Russia: a possible new escalation point in Eastern Europe or Ukraine.
Israel–Palestine: a potential shock with global repercussions.
Energy: a new crisis or increased dependency shifts.
Military–industrial complex: reinforced arms deliveries and doctrines being upheld. Reflection is absent.

Yet the Full Moon in Pisces reminds us that, amid crisis, there is also a current of compassion and mysticism. It is a chance not to drown in the flood of emotions but to open our hearts and trust in humanity’s longing to live in an age of opportunity, peace, and growth. Live and let live may become a philosophy that gains strength.

5. Personal and spiritual meaning

On an individual level, this lunar eclipse may confront you with:

Letting go of patterns or relationships that no longer serve you;
A longing for mysticism: a desire to connect with something greater;
The risk of excess (feeling or giving too much), but also the chance for excellence: focusing on developing your unique, individual talents;
The danger of overcommitment: beware of letting enthusiasm turn into unrealistic promises.

6. Journal moment: three questions for your soul

During this eclipse, take a short moment for yourself with pen and paper. Write down three things:

What overwhelms me now? (one sentence about emotions or obligations that feel too much).
What do I want to release? (one pattern or thought that no longer belongs to you).
What am I longing for? (one sentence about your desire for mysticism, compassion, or a better future).

Close with the sentence:“I trust the impulse of the Full Moon and I choose excellence instead of excess.”

This small exercise helps you to consciously experience the energy of the eclipse and give it direction.

7. Conclusion

The lunar eclipse of September 2025 is a mirror of crisis and catharsis, both collective and personal. It makes visible where structures are crumbling and opens the door to new possibilities.

Under this Full Moon we are reminded that, even in times of chaos, the longing for mysticism, compassion, and a better future lives within the majority of humanity.
