Autumn represents a transition in nature focused on letting go and closing. This autumn in particular brings a very strong energy of transformation due to the upcoming eclipses on the Pisces-Libra axis. A period of great change and evolution is coming in our internal processes and, just like the leaves on the trees, we must shake off the old and what no longer serves us to make room for something new to arrive. It is time to be reborn.
Eclipse season is the time period in which a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse occur. It is usually felt from two weeks before until two weeks after and its intensity varies according to its influence on our astral chart. Eclipse season represents a time of profound, dramatic and total transformation and evolution, where we must work on certain issues represented by the signs where these eclipses occur, as well as the areas of life that they activate according to the houses in our astral chart.
As these eclipses occur on the Libra-Pisces axis, we are seeing a transition of themes, as the eclipses of the Aries-Libra polarity that we have been working on for the past couple of years are coming to a close. Now we will begin to work on the Virgo-Pisces polarity where new themes arise that call for transformation and balance.
First we will have the lunar eclipse in the mystical and redemptive sign of Pisces on September 17, which will ask us to free ourselves from wounds and experience deep healing through forgiveness. Two weeks later we will have the solar eclipse in the peaceful and balanced sign of Libra on October 2 , where we will be asked to start a new life, much more loving and harmonious.
Aries-Libra Eclipses (2022-2025)
Over the last couple of years we have been asked to work on achieving a balance between Self and Other. We have had to find a healthy balance between our personal needs and the needs of others, how to balance competitiveness and cooperation , knowing when to fight and when to use tactful diplomacy to get what we want, etc. It is also about creating a new, healthier Self that can take care of itself without neglecting others.
Everything in astrology has to be considered from a general perspective. A new stage is coming soon with the entry of Saturn and Neptune into the sign of Aries starting next year, especially because they form a conjunction at degree 0 of Aries , which is the point that represents innate potential in the zodiac. I feel that what we have worked hard on in the last eclipse seasons with this axis is part of the foundations we have laid for what is coming in the future (I will tell you more about it later). The fact that it is not over yet (since we have a lunar eclipse in Libra now and in 2025 there is a solar eclipse in Aries) is that we still have the opportunity to work on it as best we can for what is coming.
Part of what awaits us has to do with major changes on an external scale, but for now we will focus on the internal processes that it represents. We must polish (Saturn) and refine (Neptune) our Aries expression of courage, action and vigor: above all, work on what is the Self. The opposite and complementary sign to Aries in the zodiac wheel is Libra, who represents the perfect complement of harmony to the bellicosity of Aries as well as the focus on others vs. selfishness. The eclipses of the last few years have helped us to perfect and balance these polarities so that in the coming decades we can work on them with the integrated Libra counterpart.
Virgo-Pisces Eclipses (2024-2027)
In the coming years we are being asked to find a balance between our material and spiritual needs; when to be practical and when to dream, when to be self-critical and when to be self-compassionate. Virgo rules everything on the physical and material plane, as well as the mental, and seeks to improve both itself and its environment, using its skills and putting its services into practice for the good of others. On the other hand, Pisces also seeks the common good but from a spiritual plane because it is connected to the emotional and soul plane, it lives with dreams and with divinity, it seeks to elevate itself to a higher plane and undo the ego.
These eclipses on the Virgo-Pisces axis will ask us to find a balance between our material care and spiritual care, physical service and Soul service,
Pisces dissolves and undoes, just like the water that is carried in its current, and helps us purify our energy. Being the opposite and complementary sign to Virgo, both energies represent purification: Virgo is material, physical and mental purification, while Pisces is emotional and soul purification. Virgo renews and repairs on a physical and material level, which is why its energy is associated with health and cleanliness. This eclipse combo, therefore, comes to purify us on a physical and spiritual level.
The last time we had this eclipse axis was between 2015 and 2017. You may recognize some of the themes that arose then that are now appearing in other ways, situations, people, or challenges. Looking back can give us guidance and clarity on how to move forward, so I recommend doing some introspection with yourself and remembering what happened then to get an idea of what may happen now.
Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: September 17, 2024
The lunar eclipse is like a full moon, but more powerful. It asks us to do a much deeper and more transformative release and healing. Perhaps certain bottled emotions or sensations will emerge, as it represents a climax and a necessary release for our evolution.
Being the last sign of the zodiac wheel, Pisces represents an end and therefore this lunar eclipse is like a black hole, absorbing everything that no longer has a place in your life and that has come to an end. In other words, it is a powerful time to close cycles with force that you may have already seen coming. Pisces represents an end, but also inherent in its energy is the promise of the seeds of the new. Pisces is a gentle, magical and soft energy, so let yourself be enveloped by this fog, where the things that you have to let go and release will appear.
Pisces also represents mercy and redemption. So for some, it may be a period of experiencing an arc of redemption in the narrative of their lives but it can also represent a need to forgive. Forgiveness is coming to a point of acceptance and peace through letting go of grudges, anger, resentment and guilt. This lunar eclipse in Pisces asks us to do this work of forgiveness, whether it is for others or for ourselves. The idea is to keep moving forward, leaving behind what limits us through forgiveness in order to heal completely. I know that it is easier said than done and that it represents a long road to travel but the idea is that we begin to take the first steps and open our hearts to the possibility.
Solar Eclipse in Libra: October 2, 2024
After releasing and closing cycles with the energy of the lunar eclipse in Pisces, the solar eclipse in Libra arrives, which represents a new beginning, just like the new moon, but much more powerful. It asks us to plant the seeds of a potential life full of peace, harmony, balance and love. That is why it complements very well with the need to forgive in Pisces, since once you forgive, this moment of acceptance arrives, but also of peace and opening up to new possibilities.
The lunar eclipse in Libra that we had in spring coincided with the conjunction of the Sun and Chiron in Aries, where we were very aware of the wounds and pains that we carry and also of this need to accept them and work on them in a loving way. A month ago it turned retrograde, beginning a period of having to work on these wounds that now aligned perfectly again with the eclipses, but this time in autumn.
This combination brings absolute purification and pushes us to find peace through forgiveness. Yes, there may be painful and difficult moments due to the confrontation that this entails, but trust that we are being guided by a very compassionate and loving energy; we are on the path to a much more harmonious life, freed from past grudges and anger. Libra is the sign of the planet Venus, which represents the heart, and when Venus is in Pisces, its energy is exalted, as it represents infinite, unconditional and elevated love. So we can expect a lot of loving energy that will be available to integrate and help us do this work of liberation.
What happens if I have planets in Libra or Pisces?
We all experience the intensity of eclipses differently, and much of it depends on whether they activate planets and angles in our chart. They will activate certain areas of life for all of us depending on which natal houses they fall in, as they represent where we will be asked to work on the themes of the eclipses. For example, they activate my 10th house and my 4th house respectively, meaning finding a balance and working on the themes of these eclipses in my professional and public life, along with my domestic and private life.
To find out which houses will be activated in your astral chart according to your ascendant sign, here is your horoscope . If you want to know if there are natal planets that will also be shaken by the influence of the eclipses, simply take out your astral chart and first look to see if you have planets in the signs Pisces and Libra, then in the signs Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. If you have them and you know about astrology, check if they are between degrees 8 and 12 of Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn. Do the same but now in degrees 23 and 27 of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius.
If you want me to interpret it for you for more precision and personalization of how it will affect you, you can schedule an Astrological Reading with me where we will look in greater depth at the messages that the cosmos has for you at this moment.
If any planet or angle is going to be activated in your birth chart, you can expect to feel the energy of these eclipses much more intense and powerful because you will be asked to work more deeply on a certain part of your personality that is calling for transformation. Here is a brief interpretation for each planet or angle that could be activated:
Sun
Moon
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn

Oracle message and reading for the eclipse season
I feel that this card from the Seasons of the Witch: Lammas Oracle oracle sums up the energy and message of this eclipse season very well, as it is reminding us that it is key to come from a place of peace in order to face the challenges or difficulties that come into our lives. I feel that they also apply not only to the challenges, but also to any life situation, which is what the solar eclipse in Libra is inviting us to integrate during this time. To live life from a place of peace and harmony where all of our thoughts, decisions, and actions reflect it.
The image of the Lion also reminds me of the story of the mouse and the Lion, where the thorn that must be removed is what we are going to work on during the eclipse season and the eclipses are the mouse. Even if we are afraid, we must remember that everything will be fine and that it is necessary to remove the thorn that prevents it from healing completely for the wound.
Here is an idea for an oracle reading so you can receive more guidance and messages from your intuition on how to navigate these times. If you wish, I can do it for you with a donation of 50 Mexican pesos through PayPal.
Letter 1: The main focus to work on during this time of eclipses
Letter 2: What can help you release and forgive in the Pisces eclipse as well as what needs to be let go.
Letter 3: The new things you need to integrate into the solar eclipse in Libra to live a harmonious and peaceful life.
Letter 4: What will be the outcome after this time of change and transformation?
I hope this brief reading helps you gain more clarity for the coming weeks.
