September 2025: Eclipses, Equinox, and Earthly Reset

September is a month of thresholds.
We move from the fullness of summer into the grounding embrace of autumn. School schedules, shifting routines, and shorter days remind us that structure and rhythm are returning. This September brings not only the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and a Virgo New Moon Partial Solar eclipse, but also the Autumnal Equinox—a sacred turning point of balance.
This is a month to reset, realign, and return to what nourishes body, mind, and spirit. Below you’ll find practices, Akashic Journal Prompts, essential oil blends, and crystal allies to support you through each cosmic moment and the energies of this month.

🌕🔮 Blood Moon Eclipse Ceremony: Surrender & Emotional Clarity
September 7, 2025 – Pisces Lunar Eclipse
The Blood Moon Eclipse in Pisces calls you inward, inviting you to soften into emotional truth and surrender illusions. This is a moon for deep release—a chance to let go of what feels heavy, foggy, or out of alignment, making space for clarity and flow.
You’ll Need:

• A candle (white, silver, or red) or incense or sage/palo santo
• Journal + pen
• Small slip of paper
• Fireproof dish or candle plate
• Mystical Add-ons: A bowl of water, moonstone, labradorite and/or amethyst, calming incense or essential oils (lavender, clary sage, frankincense)

The Blood Moon Ceremony:

1. Create Sacred Space
   Light your candle and, if you wish, place a bowl of water nearby to represent Pisces’ emotional depth. Take three deep breaths, imagining yourself wrapped in a cocoon of soft, protective light.
2. Name What’s Ready to Be Released
   Gently journal what feels full, foggy, or overdue for emotional clarity. On your slip of paper, write down one or two patterns, fears, situations, or experiences you’re ready to release.
3. Release with Fire
   Hold the paper to your heart, thanking these experiences for what they’ve taught you. Carefully burn the paper and place the ashes in your dish, visualizing the smoke carrying your release into the universe.
4. Cleanse & Surrender
   Dip your fingertips into the water and touch your forehead, heart, and hands. Whisper:
   “I give thanks and blessings to all that’s leaving. I invite ease, peace, and well-being to fill my body and field now. And so it is.”
5. Close with Stillness
   Sit quietly for a few moments, inviting your intuition to speak. Write down any feelings or insights that surface. Extinguish your candle when you feel complete.

🌙 This eclipse is your invitation to pause, surrender, and create space for the new beginnings ahead.

🌑🌿 Virgo New Moon Eclipse Ritual: Planting Soul-Aligned Seeds
September 21, 2025 – Virgo Solar Eclipse
Two weeks after the Blood Moon’s emotional release, the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse opens the door for clear, grounded beginnings. Virgo’s earthy wisdom invites us to weave dreams into daily life through structure, rituals, and intentional steps forward.
You’ll Need:

• A candle or incense or sage/palo santo
• Journal + pen
• A small pouch or envelope
• A favorite crystal or 2 (clear quartz, citrine, and/or green aventurine), essential oils (cedarwood, rosemary, sweet orange

The New Moon Eclipse Ritual:

1. Ground & Connect
   Light your candle and place your crystal near your heart. Take a few slow breaths, feeling your feet connected to the earth.
2. Write Your Intentions
   In your journal, write down 1–3 clear, soul-aligned intentions for the next six months. Be specific, and keep them heart-centered.
3. Anchor the Vision
   Copy your intentions onto a small piece of paper. Fold it and place it inside your pouch or envelope with your crystal, infusing it with love and trust.
4. Create a Daily Anchor Practice
   Commit to a simple daily ritual— gentle breathwork, affirmation, or daily journaling—that supports these intentions. Virgo energy thrives on consistency.
5. Seal with Gratitude
   Whisper:
   “I plant these seeds in trust. With care, structure, and love, they will flourish in perfect timing.”
6. Keep Your Intention Bundle Close
   Place your pouch on your altar, nightstand, or carry it in your bag as a reminder of your vision.
   
   

✨ Together, these eclipses form a cosmic bridge: release under the Pisces Blood Moon, renew under the Virgo New Moon. This season is your opportunity to clear emotional clutter, trust your intuition, and ground your dreams into action.

🌏 Earth Element Wisdom for the Fall Equinox
In Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Five Element Theory, the Earth Element represents late summer and the seasonal threshold between summer’s fullness and autumn’s descent. At the Fall Equinox, we stand in perfect balance—day and night equal—before turning inward toward the darker, quieter half of the year.
The Earth Element invites us to ground, nourish, and center ourselves during this seasonal transition. It governs the Spleen and Stomach meridians, which relate to digestion—not just of food, but also of thoughts, experiences, and emotions. When Earth is balanced, we feel rooted, nourished, and at ease in our bodies. When imbalanced, we may notice worry, overthinking, fatigue, or a sense of being “ungrounded.”
This Equinox is a beautiful time to pause, digest the lessons of summer, and prepare all of our selves for the reflective months ahead.
​
🌾 Earth Element Themes-

• Balance & Centering – harmonizing body, mind, and spirit
• Nourishment – giving and receiving care, supporting digestion
• Grounded Presence – feeling rooted, safe, and steady
• Gratitude & Harvest – honoring what has grown and what sustains you
• Letting Go of Worry – clearing the mental “clutter” that drains energy

🌍 Energy Medicine Yoga Practice: Earth Element Hold
When the nervous system feels overstimulated—whether from eclipse intensity, seasonal shifts, or busy routines—try this simple, soothing practice from Energy Medicine Yoga (Lauren Walker):
✨ Earth Element Hold (Palming the Eyes)

1. Rub your hands together to generate warmth.
2. Place your palms gently over your closed eyes.
3. Breathe slowly, feeling your whole body settle.
4. Stay here for 1–2 minutes, letting your nervous system reset and your energy rebalance.

This practice is especially powerful before bed, after long screen time, or anytime you feel scattered.

🌬 Grounding Practice: Box Breath

1. Inhale for 4 counts
2. Hold for 4 counts
3. Exhale for 4 counts
4. Hold for 4 counts

Repeat for 3–5 rounds, at a pace that feels comfortable to you.  Feel your body settle and your energy reset.
