What do September's eclipses bring? Get ready for an important beginning and an important ending

You are not ready yet for the intensity September has in store for us. On 7 September the eclipse season begins with a total lunar eclipse on the full moon in Aquarius, and believe me: it arrives at full force.

This eclipse comes to close cycles. Everything that has served its time, everything that no longer serves you… goes for good. And that is not all. We are in a 9 year according to numerology, and September is the 9th month. What does that mean? Closing, letting go, finishing chapters. Have you still not finished something important these past months? Then September, or the three months that follow, is when that moment arrives.

But there is more: on 21 September we have a solar eclipse in Virgo, just before the autumn equinox on 22 September. With the new moon in Virgo, this eclipse opens the door to new beginnings. It feels like a new dawn, a new chapter in your life. A moment to put things in order, start new routines and make more conscious decisions.

What might you feel?Although we all feel the energy of eclipses, those born under Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius and Leo will live it more intensely. I have been feeling the intensity of this energy for a week now, and perhaps you have too: stronger emotions, trouble sleeping, more vivid dreams, an enormous sensitivity… And watch out: things that were hidden come to light. Old feelings or truths you might have preferred to ignore now get the chance to be seen. It is the perfect moment to reflect and to release whatever no longer fits you.

🌑 Lunar eclipse (7 September): the full moon turns red, what we call a blood moon. During this eclipse you may feel very deep things rising to the surface. It can be intense, because emotions or thoughts you had put away suddenly appear. It is as if a torch were shining on everything you wanted to keep hidden.

☀️ Solar eclipse (21 September): the Moon covers the Sun and, for an instant, everything goes dark. That brief shadow is a symbol of what happens inside us: the ground is preparing for something new to grow. It might be a change in your daily routine, the start of a project, a move, or even a new relationship. The most important thing is to trust: what is born under a solar eclipse usually carries a deep meaning.

This partial solar eclipse matters a great deal because it coincides with the new moon in Virgo and with the autumn equinox on 22 September. A moment when day and night last almost exactly the same: a perfect balance of light and dark. It is the ideal time for a ritual of closing, gratitude and preparation for what is new. If you want to make the most of this powerful moment, here is how:

1. Light a white candle and burn some incense. 2. Write one list of what you are grateful for and what you are letting go of, and another with your intentions for the future. 3. Burn the gratitude list as a sign of closure and thanks. 4. Keep the list of new goals somewhere special: it will be your guide for the cycle that is beginning.

Get ready for what is coming, and remember: every ending is also a new beginning. So if you notice that something is coming to an end, trust it. See it as an opportunity: what leaves makes room for something new — new opportunities, new connections, conscious decisions.
