The deep-dive posts are taking a break after this eclipse season for the foreseeable future. There will still be some Lunar-focused writing, but hopefully it will fit in your inbox.

Do let me know what your favourite part is if you want it included in future posts) Eclipses can catalyse change, heralding karmic, significant beginnings or endings and accelerating our storyline. This Pisces Eclipse is the third and final in a rare series of three Lunar eclipses in Pisces, a sign that drew our attention in 2025 and 26 when the Total Lunar Eclipse occurred. Slow planets, Saturn and Neptune, crossed the boundary from Pisces to Aries, and then returned, creating a cosmic stitch in the sky. Saturn was the last planet to perform this dance, returning across the border from the fire of Aries into the otherworldly, intuitive waters of mutable Pisces before making its final return to Aries on 14 February 2026. Neptune had made its final move by only weeks before on 26th January 2026. The series of three lunar eclipses we are experiencing in Pisces highlights a period which invites us into deeper spiritual reflection, surrender, and transformation. The Pisces-Virgo axis invites us to explore themes of service, spirituality, and the balance between the material and the ethereal. We are likely to have been exploring questions and themes such as: * How does being of service to others also reward and feed our soul? * Are we so spiritual that we are detached from the material world, and if so, how can we ground ourselves in practical, earthly matters? * How do our dreams impact our waking life? * What links between the two can you see in your life, and how would you like to see them develop and grow? Have the last two years affected your life in one, or more of these ways? Symbolically, within the zodiac year of the northern hemisphere, Pisces season comes at a time of the end of the winter, when the warmth and light of the Sun is beginning to take over from the darkness which is losing its grip. We start to enjoy longer days and look forward to Spring, but we are in transition. We must prepare for the final release of the end of the entire zodiac cycle, before we can be reborn anew with the rebirth that comes with the Spring Equinox as the sun enters Aries. It is a time to go within, reflect and release so we travel lightly into the new. The Moon is in Pisces, while the Sun is travelling through Virgo, the sign of the maiden who carries the scythe, reminding us of the loss of innocence and the need for the feminine to own her purpose and feminine powers, while being willing to cut away all that is inauthentic, or is outgrown, as the maiden prepares for harvest and symbolically to undergo the rite of passage of the transition into adulthood. As the Moon is eclipsed in Pisces, its connection with our Earth is temporarily interrupted. Like a computer being switched off and on again, there is a sense of a reset, a death and rebirth much greater than that we experience with the regular New Moons. Themes of surrender, introspection, and connection to the spiritual realm may be intensified. Pisces energy is often flowing and ethereal, visualise the ocean, sometimes still, serene, reflective and yet with the power for squalls and dramatic high waves crashing, making it more challenging to engage with the material world. This eclipse may stir deep emotional waters, disturbing the silt resting on the ocean floor, encouraging us to trust the unseen and offering the opportunity to (re)connect with our higher, or deeper, selves. For the Pisces Eclipse, the symbolic turning Off and On again of the Moon’s reflective light, it could be that something hidden is being drawn up from the depths, from a familiar old story, or a new one, made visible under the shadowed light of the Moon as it is lit up and symbolically reborn after the light was extinguished. What will surface for you? What has been whispered through dreams, tides, and silences, waiting to come into form? What might be your own rite of passage? Full Moons draw our attention towards what has reached maturity. They invite us to pause, gather together the threads of the previous months and recognise how much has changed. Eclipses deepen this process, encouraging us to look beneath the surface and acknowledge what has been quietly unfolding, often beyond the reach of our conscious awareness. This particular eclipse feels less concerned with the next destination than with the journey itself. Its invitation lies in recognising what has matured, what wisdom has been gathered and what deeper understanding has emerged through lived experience.

Imagine yourself walking beside the sea in the soft light before dawn, following the shoreline as the tide moves steadily in and out. Notice the rhythm of your footsteps and the changing patterns your footprints leave in the sand. Allow thoughts, memories and feelings to rise naturally, giving them the same freedom as the waves that continue to reshape the landscape around you. As you walk, reflect on these questions: * What has quietly matured since February 2025? * What wisdom has emerged through experience? * Which hidden motivations am I beginning to recognise? * What invisible structures continue to shape my choices? * What is this season asking of me? * What is it offering me? Allow the answers to unfold in their own time, trusting that understanding develops through continued attention, reflection and experience. Pisces – Mutable Waters and Shifting Tides Pisces is a feminine or yin water sign, making it receptive and inward-focused, fluid and flowing in nature and deeply connected to the imaginal and spiritual worlds as it softens, embraces, listens, and reflects. There is a sense of oneness with All That Is here. The Shifting Tides of Pisces are supported by its mutable nature, which makes it adaptable, porous, and gifts it an in-between, liminal quality, both able to dissolve boundaries and to move between realms of spirit and material. Think for a moment of a baby moving through the birth canal, an unstoppable force of creation bringing it from one form into another. The invisible being made visible, in the days before our access to scans. The process can be both confusing, scary, or painful, while also beautiful and life-affirming. Jupiter rules Pisces, seeking connection through meaning and faith, bringing wisdom and abundance, while Venus, the exalted ruler of Pisces, connects through beauty, compassion, and her artistic vision. Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, carrying within it the accumulated experiences of the signs that have come before. Pisces is associated with dreams, imagination, spirituality, compassion and the invisible threads that connect one experience to another. As a mutable water sign, Pisces teaches through movement and relationship. Water flows, adapts, fills and connects, while mutable signs respond to life through flexibility and openness to change. Together, they create a landscape that feels fluid, reflective and deeply responsive to the rhythms of both the inner and outer worlds. Some people might experience Pisces periods as marked by increased awareness of dreams, memories, and intuition. Creative expression often becomes more accessible, while reflection and contemplation begin to feel more nourishing than productivity alone. The desire to understand life through meaning, symbolism and emotional connection becomes more pronounced, encouraging us to pay closer attention to what is emerging beneath the surface of everyday life. Opposite the Moon in Pisces shines the Sun in Virgo, in the home of Mercury, Lord of our Minds, who is both the domicile and exalted ruler and currently has unpacked their bags and is supervising all in Virgo. Virgo’s careful discernment and attention to detail balance Pisces’ dreamlike flow. This eclipse tugs on and highlights the polarity between dream and practical details, spirit and craft, and invites us to consider for ourselves: How do we weave the ineffable into our practical? How might we let spirit flow without losing form? Activities that create space for reflection often feel particularly supportive during a Pisces lunation. Walking, journalling, meditation, music, creative practice and time spent near water all encourage the slower, more receptive pace that Pisces naturally invites. The Nature of a Lunar Eclipse A total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow across the Moon. Unlike a normal Full Moon, where the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs, a lunar eclipse adds the weight of the Earth’s shadow, symbolising supercharged moments of culmination, closure, and revelation. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon enters that shadow, at once light, darkness, and shadow coexist. The symbolism is beautifully aligned with the experience of a Full Moon. The illumination remains present, yet it becomes more nuanced and layered. Awareness is present, however, it develops through shifting perspectives and light, with the shadow as important as what is illuminated. This allows us to recognise experiences, emotions and patterns that may have remained just beyond our field of vision. Lunar eclipses have long been associated with culmination, release and heightened awareness. They often correspond with periods in which emotions become more accessible and our relationship with a p
