A Celestial Embrace — The Total Lunar Eclipse of September 7, 2025

Have you ever stood under the night sky and felt the universe whisper? That goosebump moment when the Moon turns red and you realize you’re watching something ancient and sacred? That’s the kind of magic we’ll witness on September 7, 2025—a total lunar eclipse. I still remember curl

ing up with a blanket during the 2018 eclipse, the world so quiet you could almost hear the Moon breathing. That memory makes this upcoming eclipse feel like an old friend returning with new wisdom.


What Is a Total Lunar Eclipse?

A total lunar eclipse happens when Earth slides perfectly between the Sun and the Moon, wrapping the Moon in its shadow. But here’s the twist: instead of disappearing, the Moon glows in fiery shades of red and orange—what people call the “Blood Moon.” This September’s eclipse will be one of the longest of the decade, with totality lasting 83 magical minutes. That’s plenty of time to sit with the energy, journal, meditate, or just gaze in awe. Many people will warn against not going outside during an eclipse. I will always say you do what makes you feel the best 


When Was the Last Total Eclipse?

Earlier this year, in March 2025, we had a total lunar eclipse, but this September’s show is different—it’s more intense, longer, and more emotionally charged. Think of it as the universe’s encore performance, with deeper lessons to reveal.


This eclipse isn’t just a one-day event—it’s part of a much bigger story that kicked off last September and will keep unfolding all the way into 2027. 🌑✨ Think of it as a cosmic chapter break in your life’s book.


How this Upcoming Eclipse is Affecting Me So Far

A total lunar eclipse, showing the moon glowing deep red against a black night sky, often called a “blood moon.

I’ve always seen my life like a book—each chapter beginning and ending at the right time. This eclipse feels like the start of something new. I’ve been journaling about it, and honestly, it feels like I’m writing an entire book. Maybe it’s time for me to take those journal entries and turn them into something bigger. But I’ll definitely be changing names—imagine using real names? That would be a disaster!


Journaling has been my therapy, especially when I’m feeling stressed, mad, indifferent, or even happy. It helps me process my emotions. So whenever you're feeling something, big or small, WRITE IT DOWN!


Pay attention to anyone or anything entering or leaving your life right now. Eclipses are famous for bringing in sudden changes, sometimes literally “eclipsing” people in and out of your world. Whatever’s happening is meant to happen—especially with Saturn’s energy in the mix. Saturn, the wise old teacher, is back to check if you've completed what you were supposed to. If you haven’t, I can almost guarantee you've felt it already. Did it happen on Monday? That’s when this transit took place (side note: Monday, Saturn definitely checked me 🙃).


Saturn will hold you accountable, no exceptions. If you didn’t listen, well, BAM—Saturn didn’t just talk, he acted 🤯. It’s a lesson that needs to be learned, whether you like it or not. But here’s the thing—you get up, dust yourself off, and keep going.


It’s not that Saturn is out to get you; it’s just that he ensures you learn from what you’ve missed. Think of it like when your parents catch you doing something you shouldn’t have and they remind you of their warning. The only person you can blame is yourself.

This is exactly the kind of stuff you need to write down. Think about events from March 2023—it’s all part of an ongoing story. If you didn’t write it down, take notes now. Seriously, write it down, journal, or record yourself. Whatever method works for you, just keep track of the good, the bad, and everything in between. Record the date, time, and if you’re following my blogs, take notes on your house, horoscope reading, and the transits taking place.


By keeping track, you’ll start to see the patterns—the code behind everything. You’ll know what to expect and what to do (and avoid). While everyone else is getting blindsided by the planets, you’ll be ahead of the game 🤣. It’s work, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, it’ll be worth it. Dea and I are here to guide you through it.

So, get your journal, start writing, and keep track of your lessons. Saturn will make sure you learn them—if you didn’t, and you felt the “wrath,” that’s on you. But it’s all about learning and moving forward.


The good news? Saturn’s in Pisces this time, so it’s a little softer. It might not feel like that right now, especially if you’ve been feeling a bit beaten up by the universe. But if things have been smooth, you’ve probably passed the test.

Crystals to Work With During the Eclipse

Crystals are powerful allies during an eclipse. They help us ground, release, and open ourselves to new frequencies. Here are three that resonate deeply with the energy of this lunar event:


🖤 Obsidian – The Stone of Release and Protection

Obsidian is born from volcanic fire, grounding us deeply into Earth’s core. During an eclipse, emotions can feel heightened or overwhelming, and obsidian acts like a protective shield, helping us cut cords to attachments that no longer serve us.


🌙 Moonstone – The Stone of Lunar Connection

Moonstone is the crystal most attuned to the Moon’s cycles. Its soft, iridescent glow reminds us of intuition, flow, and the gentle power of emotional balance. In the heightened energy of an eclipse, moonstone helps soften the edges, making us feel held and nurtured.


🌌 Amethyst – The Stone of Spiritual Growth

Amethyst is a powerful crystal for spiritual clarity and transformation. Its deep purple hue symbolizes higher wisdom, and like the eclipse, it offers a reminder that growth often occurs in the shadows, revealing new layers of understanding.

A Simple Ritual for the Total Eclipse

A dramatic solar eclipse with the sun’s corona forming a fiery ring of light around the dark silhouette of the moon, set against an orange-toned sky with scattered clouds.

Eclipses are moments of deep release and renewal. This ritual is designed to help you let go of what no longer serves you and invite in the clarity the eclipse offers.


🌑 What You’ll Need

  • Your chosen crystals (Labradorite, Obsidian, and Moonstone)

  • A candle (white for clarity, or black for release)

  • A journal and pen

  • A bowl of water (to symbolize cleansing and flow)


✨ Steps

  1. Create Your Space Find a quiet spot where you can see the Moon, or sit by a window if you prefer. Place your candle in front of you, with your crystals arranged around it in a small triangle or circle. Set the bowl of water nearby.

  2. Ground Yourself Take three deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from your body into the Earth, steadying you. Hold obsidian in your hand and feel it pulling away stress, fear, or heaviness.

  3. Light the Candle As the flame rises, say softly: “I release what no longer serves me. I welcome transformation and renewal.”

  4. Work with Each Crystal

    • Hold Labradorite at your third eye and ask for insight into what is ready to change.

    • Hold Moonstone at your heart and breathe into feelings of trust, intuition, and flow.

    • Place Obsidian near your lower belly and imagine cords of fear or outdated attachments dissolving.

  5. Journal Reflection Write down one thing you are ready to release and one intention you want to welcome in. Be honest, even if it’s just a single word.

  6. Water Release Dip your fingers into the bowl of water, then sprinkle a few drops over your crystals. This symbolizes washing away the old and blessing the new.

  7. Close in Gratitude Blow out the candle and whisper a thank you—to the Moon, to your crystals, and to yourself.


Why This Ritual Works

The act of release during an eclipse is amplified by symbols of Earth (obsidian), intuition (labradorite), and lunar balance (moonstone). Fire (the candle) transforms, while water (the bowl) purifies. Together, they create a cycle of letting go and inviting renewal.


Closing & Call to Action

On the evening of September 7, take time to step outside, breathe in the night air, and let the eclipse energy move through you. Journal what you’re ready to release, meditate with your crystals, or simply sit in stillness beneath the changing sky.

I won’t have my crystals here in time for the eclipse, so will the ritual still work without the crystals at this time?
