Eclipse Insights: Love, Letting Go, and Magic
The recent Super Full Moon in Pisces, combined with the influence of Saturn, created a powerful shift not just for me, but for so many other people we talk to. Astrologically, this lunar eclipse was a turning point—one that felt deeply personal yet universally transformative. It called for a release, and forcing us to surrender control and allow the universe to guide us through emotional and spiritual evolution.
For me, this looked like an unexpected yet natural end to my relationship. Just weeks ago, I was in couples therapy, discussing what seemed like minor issues with my partner. We were engaged and working on what I thought were typical relationship bumps. What felt like a slow unraveling happened in a flash. Within weeks, we broke up—not in a dramatic or painful way, but in mutual understanding and relief.
The key astrological player here was Saturn in Pisces. Saturn, the planet of boundaries, structure, and discipline, doesn’t particularly enjoy being in fluid Pisces. It’s like trying to build a house on water—there’s constant resistance. Yet, this tension is exactly what forces us to grow. Pisces, as a sign, rules the subconscious, spirituality, and letting go. With Saturn moving through this space, we’ve been collectively learning how to establish boundaries while still flowing with the universe. This breakup felt like a direct result of that lesson—releasing what no longer served me in order to align with something deeper, more spiritual.
Interestingly, I wasn’t the only one going through a shift. People around me—friends, clients—were experiencing similar transitions. Some were changing jobs, others were moving homes, and many were dealing with uncertain financial situations. This consistent theme of surrender, change, and restructuring aligns perfectly with Saturn’s journey through Pisces. It’s a time when we are called to release control, allow for spiritual growth, and trust that the universe has a plan, even if it’s not immediately clear.
On a more personal level, this eclipse acted as a spiritual awakening for me. I’ve always had strong intuition—something I’ve leaned into through my work as an astrologer—but during this time, I felt it intensify. Meditation brought a flood of messages, confirming things I had sensed but couldn’t fully articulate. One of the clearest messages I received was that I couldn’t put my engagement ring back on. It wasn’t about love lost; it was a knowing that this chapter had come to a natural close. The energy between us had shifted, and as I sat down with my partner to talk, we both admitted that we weren’t happy in the way we thought we should be. The relief was palpable—we weren’t losing each other; we were simply evolving into something new.
Astrologically, this profound experience mirrors what was happening in my chart. The Moon and Mars in Cancer were activating my natal Chiron, the wounded healer, bringing focus to old emotional wounds tied to my sense of security and inner world. At the same time, Pluto in Capricorn is nearing my natal Moon in Aquarius, signaling a period of deep inner transformation and intense emotional release. Pluto’s energy is one of death and rebirth, and its proximity to my Moon is triggering a metamorphosis of how I understand my emotions, my magic, and ultimately, myself.
Adding to this, Uranus in Taurus was crossing my natal Jupiter, creating unexpected revelations about my life and my purpose. Uranus is the planet of sudden change and breakthroughs, and when it connects with expansive Jupiter, the revelations often come in the form of new perspectives, particularly around growth and abundance. It was during this transit that I received the clarity to end my relationship—not as a loss, but as a necessary shift toward spiritual growth.
Meanwhile, Venus had just entered my first house in Scorpio, making an applying conjunction to my rising sign. Scorpio, as we know, craves depth, intensity, and transformation, especially in matters of love and relationships. This placement fueled my longing for the kind of deep, soul-level connection - that it illuminated what I truly desired—something intense, raw, and deeply aligned with my soul’s evolution.
This period feels like the beginning of a new spiritual chapter for me. I’m stepping more fully into practices that honor this transformation, starting a Reiki class, exploring art therapy, and continuing to expand my astrology practice. This moment feels like a return to the magic in my bloodline, a deep ancestral connection to the intuitive work I’ve been doing for years. My grandmother had a special understanding of astrology, and my aunt, a magician with tarot cards, seemed to have passed on their gifts to me. Now, it feels like I’m tapping into that legacy more than ever.
This lunar eclipse, with its potent mix of Piscean flow and Saturnian structure, has cracked something open. It’s not just about letting go of what no longer serves, but about stepping into something more aligned, more magical. It’s about trusting the universe’s timing and knowing that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.
