It’s Eclipse Season - Navigating September's Cosmic Shifts with Grace
Hey there, self care besties!
We are coming into the -BER months! My absolute favorite and with that comes some serious eclipse energy that's bound to shake things up. If you've been feeling a bit off lately, you're not alone—these celestial events are like universal reset buttons, amplifying emotions and urging transformation. But do not worry, with the right self-care toolkit, including essential oils, crystals, and lymphatic drainage practices, you can harness this power for growth rather than chaos.
Today, I want to discuss the eclipses in September: a total lunar eclipse on September 7th and a partial solar eclipse on September 21st. These aren't just pretty sky shows; in spiritual and astrological terms, their energy is wild! Let's look at how their energies might impact us and how to self-care our way through it all.
September's Eclipses: What's Coming and How They Will Feel
Eclipse season always feels like the universe cranking up the volume and this month, we've got two biggies to navigate:
September 7, 2025 - Total Lunar
This is a full moon eclipse in Pisces, illuminating themes of release, intuition, and emotional healing. Lunar eclipses are all about culminations and letting go—think shedding old habits, relationships, or beliefs that no longer vibe with your higher self. Energy-wise, you might feel heightened sensitivity, vivid dreams, or even physical fatigue as buried emotions bubble up. It's visible across the Eastern Hemisphere, from Africa to Asia and Australia, so if you're in those zones, the vibes could feel extra potent.
September 21, 2025 - Partial Solar
Shifting gears to Virgo energy, this new moon eclipse sparks fresh starts, particularly around health, routines, and service to others. Solar eclipses are portals for manifestation, but they can bring sudden changes or revelations that disrupt the status quo. Expect potential impacts like mental fog, anxiety about details, or a push to refine your daily life. Visibility is limited to parts of Oceania, Antarctica, and a sliver of Australia, but the energetic ripple affects us all globally.
Together, these eclipses form an "eclipse season" sandwiching the autumn equinox, intensifying themes of balance between release (lunar) and initiation (solar). You might experience mood swings, sleep disturbances, or a sense of urgency to realign your life. Physically, watch for inflammation, digestive issues, or low energy as the body mirrors cosmic tension. Spiritually, it's a time for deep introspection—old wounds may resurface for healing, while new opportunities knock. Remember, self care besties, this energy isn't here to overwhelm; it's here to evolve us.
Essential Oils: Soothing the Eclipse Storm
When eclipse vibes have you feeling scattered, essential oils are your aromatic anchors. Their high vibrations help recalibrate your energy field. For September's duo:
Lavender -Calms eclipse-induced anxiety and supports emotional release during the lunar eclipse. Diffuse it to ease Pisces' dreamy overwhelm.
Frankincense- Grounds and protects during the solar eclipse's new beginnings. Apply to your crown chakra for Virgo's clarity boost.
Sandalwood- Promotes inner peace amid change. Ideal for both eclipses to shield your aura.
Peppermint-Clears mental fog from Virgo's detail-oriented energy. Inhale for focus post-lunar emotional waves.
Blend them: 3 drops lavender, 2 frankincense, 2 sandalwood in a diffuser. Breathe deep, self care besties, and let the scents guide you.
Crystals: Your Energetic Shields and Amplifiers
Crystals vibe with eclipse frequencies, helping transmute intensity into empowerment. Charge them pre-eclipse (not during, to avoid overload).
Black Tourmaline- For protection during the lunar eclipse's emotional purge—absorbs negativity like a boss.
Amethyst- Enhances intuition for Pisces lunar insights; calms the mind through Virgo solar shifts.
Selenite-Clears aura post-eclipse; use after September 7th to reset from release.
Moonstone-Balances lunar emotions and supports Virgo's practical new starts.
Grid idea: Center amethyst for intuition, surround with black tourmaline for grounding. Meditate with it between eclipses.
Physical Lymphatic Drainage: Flushing Out Eclipse Stagnation
Eclipse energy can cause physical "blocks"—think bloating or sluggishness from unprocessed emotions and toxins sitting in your system. Lymphatic practices keep things flowing:
Dry Brushing- Brush away lunar eclipse residue; stimulates detox for solar fresh starts.
Gua Sha- Use on your face with a luxurious mix of castor and frankincense oils to release tension—perfect for Virgo's self-improvement vibe.
Rebounding - Bounce out Pisces' watery emotions; energizes for the equinox balance.
Self-massage: Gentle strokes with lavender oil on lymph nodes to support overall flow. Hydrate with detox teas to amplify.
Your September Eclipse Ritual: Step-by-Step Self-Care Magic
Self care besties, here's how to weave it together:
1. Pre-Lunar (Sept 7)- Sage your space, set release intentions. Diffuse lavender, hold amethyst, dry brush.
2. During Eclipses- Journal impacts—emotions for lunar, goals for solar. Gua sha with oil.
3. Post-Solar (Sept 21)- Rebound to integrate, grid with crystals, reflect on transformations.
These practices turn eclipse intensity into your superpower. How are you feeling the vibes already? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
Love ya bestie!
