Releasing with the South Node Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 🌕

Hey cosmic friends,

This is a long-overdue blog post, as life got pretty hectic around this eclipse 😵‍💫. Between everyday responsibilities, unexpected emotional waves, and a general sense of overwhelm, I found myself needing extra time to sit with what was coming up. Honestly, it felt like the cosmos was forcing me to slow down and reflect before I could even begin to write. Maybe you felt something similar?

The Pisces Lunar Eclipse with the South Node was not just another full moon: it was a deep call to surrender and let go of what no longer served us. It carried the energy of endings, karmic closures, and emotional cleansing. I remember feeling both tender and strangely restless during this time, as if I was being pulled to release something I hadn’t yet named. If you were feeling dreamy, raw, or drained, you were absolutely tuning into the eclipse’s frequency.

First, What Is A South Node? 🌌

In astrology, the lunar nodes are not planets but points where the Moon’s orbit crosses the path of the Sun. The North Node pointed toward our collective growth and destiny, while the South Node represented the past, what we were ready to let go of, and karmic baggage we could no longer carry.

When the eclipse happened on the South Node, the cosmos essentially said: It’s time to release what is weighing you down. For me, that looked like old emotional patterns I thought I had already worked through, suddenly resurfacing. At first, I was frustrated, “Why is this back again?”, but then it clicked: this was the eclipse showing me what I was still carrying.

Why Pisces Mattered 🐠

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, linked to intuition, spirituality, compassion, and creativity. It is also the sign of illusion, escapism, and blurred boundaries. When a lunar eclipse activated Pisces, the collective energy pulled us to dissolve, surrender, and return things to source.

This eclipse asked:

• Where were you holding onto illusions?

• Where were you escaping instead of facing reality?

• Where did you need to release control and allow healing?

I noticed how easily I slipped into distraction during this time; mindlessly scrolling, daydreaming, or just zoning out instead of facing what was uncomfortable. That realization stung, but it also gave me clarity on where I was escaping instead of confronting.

What Lunar Eclipses Did 🌕✨

A lunar eclipse was like a full moon on steroids. Full moons already represented release and illumination, but when the Earth’s shadow blocked the Moon, the effect was dramatic. It closed chapters, pulled hidden truths into the light, and accelerated endings we may not have been ready to face.

During this one, I had nights where I could barely sleep — old memories and emotions replayed in my mind like a highlight reel of things I hadn’t let go of. It felt heavy in the moment, but after journaling through it, I finally felt like I had cleared space inside myself. That’s the gift (and challenge) of eclipse energy: it forces a purge before renewal.

Supportive Allies 🔮

Crystal Ally: Labradorite 🌌

Labradorite was a powerful companion for this South Node eclipse. Known as the “stone of transformation,” it resonates with cycles of endings and beginnings — exactly what the South Node was asking of us. Its shimmering, otherworldly flashes echo Pisces’ mystical energy, reminding us that even in times of release and uncertainty, magic and possibility are still present.

During this eclipse, Labradorite helped shield against emotional overwhelm while also strengthening intuition. As karmic layers peeled away, this stone supported us in trusting our inner guidance and embracing the unknown with courage. It encouraged a sense of wonder instead of fear, making the process of letting go feel less heavy and more like stepping into a new frequency.

Practical ways to work with it included holding it during meditation to strengthen visualization, carrying it as a protective talisman in overwhelming social or emotional spaces, or placing it on your altar as a reminder of the beauty in transformation.

Tarot Archetype: The Hanged Man 🃏

The Hanged Man embodies surrender, pause, and perspective — and that’s exactly what the South Node in Pisces demanded. The South Node was pulling us to release patterns that no longer served us, but instead of “pushing forward,” the invitation was to let go and see things differently. The Hanged Man teaches that we gain clarity not through force, but through stillness and a willingness to change our viewpoint.

This mirrored the Pisces energy of dissolving old illusions. By leaning into The Hanged Man, we were reminded that the discomfort of suspension — feeling stuck, uncertain, or “in between” — was not punishment but preparation. It was the sacred pause before renewal. Just like the South Node asked us to honor the past by releasing it, The Hanged Man asked us to trust that what felt like loss was actually clearing the path for something new.

Final Reflections 🌙

The South Node Lunar Eclipse in Pisces was a turning point for many of us. It wasn’t always comfortable — some days felt like being pulled under emotional waves — but the cleansing was undeniable. Endings were written in the stars, and though they carried intensity, they also brought freedom.

Looking back now, I feel lighter. Releasing those attachments and habits, even the subtle ones, created space for clarity and renewal. Pisces reminded me that surrender isn’t weakness — it’s an act of trust. And maybe that’s the real lesson this eclipse wanted us to carry forward.
