We’re Evolving: Lunar Eclipse, Election Parallels, and a New Paradigm

If you’ve been feeling all the shifts lately and just in the thick of it, trust that you’re not alone. Some of it is deeply personal, but there’s also a powerful cosmic realignment we’re all navigating together.

With the lunar eclipse in Pisces happening 9/17 at 10:24pm EST, we’re standing at the edge of something big. And I don’t mean just another astrological event—this is a portal. A moment to let go, reset, and get real about releasing the stuff that’s been holding us back.

There’s no going back to the way things were. We’ve all changed—personally, collectively—and this eclipse is a cosmic nudge to own that transformation.

The Last Time We Saw a Pisces Eclipse…

Here’s what’s wild: the last time we had a lunar eclipse in Pisces was in September 2016, right before a major election. Back then, it was Trump vs. Hillary Clinton—a moment where we saw deep societal shifts around the role of women in leadership. And now, we’re approaching the November 2024 election with Trump once again in the race—this time against Kamala Harris, another powerful female candidate.

It’s fascinating how these eclipses are woven into our collective experiences, especially as they relate to power, leadership, and the evolving role of women in society. It’s as if the universe is nudging us to continue processing these themes—this time, with greater awareness and the hope for embodiment of such.

We’re being asked to dissolve old paradigms. Pisces, ruled by Neptune, is all about dreams, illusions, and spirituality. So, it’s no surprise that this eclipse is asking us to really let go—not just the surface stuff, but those deep, emotional patterns that are no longer serving who we’re becoming.

We’re Never Going Back

And here’s the truth: we’re evolving, whether we realize it or not. If you could go back in time and visit yourself eight years ago, you might not think much has changed. But look around. Your phone, the apps, your home, your relationships, your job, your fashion sense—everything’s shifted in some form... We’re all moving through these changes, sometimes without even realizing it. And this moment right here? It’s your chance to release what’s old and step into what’s new.

The Virgo-Pisces Axis: Clearing the Path

Think about Virgo season so far—what it’s been asking of us. It’s been all about cleansing, refining, and wiping the slate clean. Virgo energy is precise, it digs into the details, asking us to clear away the outdated systems and patterns that just don’t work anymore. Now, with this eclipse, we’re shifting into Pisces’ energy, which is much more about letting go on a SOUL level. This isn’t the time to keep picking up the same patterns yet again, it’s time to truly release and be done for this lifetime.

The Feminine Shift

There’s also something big happening with the feminine energy in all of this. Women, especially, are starting to claim their independence in a whole new way. We’re no longer tolerating what doesn’t serve us, whether it’s in relationships, business, or life in general. But the beautiful thing is, this isn’t about pushing harder or proving anything. It’s about choosing to live on our own terms, with a kind of soft power that feels authentic.

We’re reclaiming our inner agency in a way that’s light, intentional, and true to who we are. And with the Libra solar eclipse coming in two weeks, this will show up even more in our relationships—how we relate to ourselves and each other. But the real work starts now, with how we show up for ourselves.

Looking Ahead: The North Node in Pisces

Fast forward to January 2025, and the collective North Node will shift into Pisces, amplifying this spiritual transformation even further. This eclipse is like a preview of the deeper soul work we’ll be asked to do. We’re preparing to embrace the compassion, creativity, and spiritual alignment that Pisces brings to us collectively. This energy is guiding us toward a future that’s more aligned with our soul’s purpose, and it’s setting us up for the North Node's move into Aquarius in Leo Season 2026, where innovation and collective consciousness will take center stage.
