Pisces Blood Moon Eclipse September 2025, Tarot Reading for Your Zodiac Sign

Every time a Full Moon approaches, my inbox fills up with the same question: “What does this one mean for me?” I always smile, because while I’m by no means an astrologer, I do know how powerfully a Full Moon stirs the emotional tides, and how tarot can give us language for what we’re feeling.

As a full-time tarot reader, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to this work for life.

Writing these kinds of articles is something I’m passionate about, and I’d like to do them more often (hello insomnia!).

I love playing with strong imagery that captures the essence of what I see in my mind and bringing those visions into words you can sit with for weeks to come.

If you’re curious about how I approach readings and what to expect, you can learn more here.

..and if you’re interested in how tarot can sharpen intuition, even if you don’t believe in it, you might enjoy this article on intuition and tarot.

Since this Pisces eclipse places such emphasis on endings and revelations, it also brings us face to face with what we’d rather avoid.

That’s why I recommend reading more about facing your shadow and how doing so leads to real growth.

Full Moons have long been linked to “lunacy,” and while that word carries a harsh edge, there is truth in how they stir us.

The Moon rules the tides, and because our bodies are made of nearly 60% water, it makes sense that we, too, are pulled by its gravity.

I’ve seen it in myself and in those around me, sleep patterns shift, moods intensify, and emotions swell. It isn’t just superstition; it’s biology meeting symbolism.

This one is no ordinary lunation,  it’s a Blood Moon eclipse in Pisces.

Its intensity is impossible to ignore. Eclipses mark turning points, closures, and revelations, and with Pisces at the helm, the focus is on endings, healing, and dissolving illusions.

The energy of this moon won’t just pass in a night; it echoes through the next four weeks, shaping how we feel and the choices we make.

Even Vogue is talking about it, see their take on the September Blood Moon eclipse.

For this Pisces Full Moon, I’ve drawn three cards for each zodiac sign to reflect the themes of the next four weeks ahead.

To make this easier to follow, I’ve given each card a designated role:

Your Shadow Being Exposed: what this Full Moon brings into awareness, your patterns or blind spots that need acknowledgment.

Your Emotional Lens: how this energy is likely to feel, your inner experience or response that may surface.

Your Direction Forward: this guidance will help you navigate the weeks ahead with clarity and self-trust.

Think of this as a map for the month, not a set of predictions carved in stone.

The cards highlight where your energy may feel pulled, how it lands in your emotional world, and how you can respond with intention.

My hope is that as you read your sign, something here resonates with what you already know deep down, and maybe even offers a gentle nudge toward the next step.

I stayed up way past my bedtime writing this, please share this with a friend if it resonates!

If you find this meaningful, share it with someone you know would appreciate it. The Full Moon’s light isn’t just for one of us, it’s for all of us.

Virgo: Craft, Memory, and Vision Under the Pisces Full Moon

What you’ve mastered is only the beginning, curiosity will carry you further.

 Your Shadow Being Exposed: 8 of Pentacles

You may notice where perfectionism has quietly taken over your life. The drive to polish, refine, and master every detail can be admirable, but it can also trap you in cycles of self-criticism.

Psychologically, this is linked to overidentifying with achievement, tying your sense of worth to constant productivity. When this card surfaces as a shadow, it suggests that your skill-building, while valuable, may have tipped into proving rather than creating.

This Pisces Moon highlights the cost of striving without joy: it can turn discipline into punishment and effort into exhaustion.

Your Emotional Lens: 2 of Wands

    Emotionally, this eclipse stirs restlessness. You know your work and habits are leading somewhere, but there’s uncertainty about what’s next. The psyche reads this as a kind of “threshold tension,” where one foot is rooted in what’s familiar and the other is testing ground toward the unknown.

It’s both exciting and disorienting, like staring out a window at landscapes you haven’t yet explored. The task here isn’t to force clarity, but to recognize that this liminal feeling is part of growth. The mind wants answers, but emotionally you’re being asked to tolerate possibility without rushing resolution.

Your Direction Forward: 6 of Cups

    This card softens the edges. It invites you to remember what once made life feel light, playful, or meaningful, not to regress, but to reintroduce warmth into the present. From a psychological standpoint, nostalgia can be a stabilizing force when used wisely: it reconnects you to innocence, kindness, and joy that may have been overshadowed by obligation.

The way forward over the next four weeks is to allow space for both mastery and play, both planning and remembering. Balancing skill with compassion ensures that your work feels like an expression of love rather than a measure of worth.

My Advice to You:

   Notice when you’re grinding and ask yourself: am I building from pressure or from passion? Reintroduce practices, hobbies, or small rituals from your past that once made you feel alive. This isn’t a step backward, it’s medicine for burnout. Over the next month, allow joy to sit at the same table as discipline.

When you do, your progress won’t just look good on paper, it will feel nourishing to your spirit.

Elle calls it a moment of emotional reckoning, read their Pisces Blood Moon analysis.

Libra: Endings, Tenderness, and Renewal in the Pisces Moonlight

Heartbreak makes space for tenderness, and tenderness leads you back to harmony.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 10 of Swords

    The eclipse exposes a cycle that has truly ended, whether you’ve wanted it to or not. The 10 of Swords can feel brutal because it confronts us with finality, there’s no “maybe” here.

Psychologically, this is the burnout moment when the body or mind finally says, “enough.” Holding on, replaying conversations, or resisting closure only prolongs the exhaustion.

The shadow is the illusion that you could have controlled the outcome, when in reality your energy is better spent acknowledging what cannot be revived.

Your Emotional Lens: Page of Cups

    After endings, something tender stirs. The Page of Cups shows the psyche in its most vulnerable state, open, curious, and unguarded. Emotionally, this may feel raw, as though your heart is walking around without armor. At the same time, it’s also the most creative and imaginative posture you can take.

This is your inner child surfacing, longing for safety, lightness, and genuine connection after a storm. If you can resist the urge to harden too quickly, this openness becomes your strength.

Your Direction Forward: 10 of Cups

     Harmony and belonging are not gone, they’re reshaped. The 10 of Cups is about shared joy, emotional fulfillment, and the sense of being part of something bigger than yourself.

Whether through family, friendship, or community, connection is the antidote to the isolation that endings can bring. From a psychological lens, this is about reattuning to your attachment needs in a healthy way: remembering that closeness is still possible when you soften into trust.

My Advice for You:

     For Libra, the weeks ahead may feel like a pendulum swing between loss and renewal. Let yourself grieve what’s gone without rushing into replacement. At the same time, stay open to small gestures of love or kindness around you, they’re not trivial, they’re bridges.

Relationships can feel like oxygen now, so give yourself permission to lean on them. The medicine is not in closing your heart tighter but in allowing tenderness to guide you back into belonging.

InStyle frames this eclipse as a time of transformation, here’s their Blood Moon horoscope for extra perspective.

Scorpio: Collapse, Illumination, and Refusal of the Obvious

From collapse comes radiance, the ruins are lit with joy you can still claim.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: Tower

     A structure in your life has already cracked, whether you’ve wanted to admit it or not. The Tower exposes the illusion that if you just held on tightly enough, the collapse could have been avoided. This points to a defense mechanism many of us use: denial.

When we refuse to acknowledge instability, the eventual fall feels more devastating than it needed to be.

This card is a reminder that breakdowns are not failures, they are the psyche’s way of forcing space for new growth.

Your Emotional Lens: Sun

    Even in chaos, the Sun breaks through, and this is where your emotions may catch you off guard. In the middle of endings, there can be sudden clarity, small victories, or even laughter you didn’t expect. It’s as though the unconscious is reminding you that despair never has the final word.

The Sun symbolizes vitality returning after depletion, a psychological reset where hope reclaims space. You may feel lighter in flashes, proof that joy and loss can sit side by side without canceling each other out.

Your Direction Forward: 4 of Cups

    The risk now is disengagement. After upheaval, the temptation is to shut down, withdraw, and numb yourself from noticing opportunities. The 4 of Cups is that emotional fatigue that whispers, “Why bother?” Yet this is precisely when attentiveness matters most.

Small offers of kindness, subtle shifts, or new perspectives are easily missed when the mind is stuck replaying disappointment. Acceptance, choosing to be present with what is offered, becomes the medicine that keeps you moving forward.

My Advice to You:

    This Full Moon eclipse reminds you that destruction is not the end, but the clearing of ground. Resist the urge to withdraw into cynicism; instead, make a practice of noticing one small thing each day that is still intact, still worth your energy. That attentiveness will help rebuild both trust in yourself and faith in the future.

Sagittarius: Integrity Tested, Defenses Raised, Wisdom Waiting

Not every battle deserves your fire, wisdom is the greater victory.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 7 of Swords

    This card uncovers the subtle ways avoidance or dishonesty creep into your life, sometimes through others, but often through yourself. Think of the times you minimize your feelings, sidestep uncomfortable conversations, or tell yourself half-truths to keep the peace.

Psychologically, this is called cognitive dissonance, holding two conflicting truths at once and trying to soften the tension by pretending one of them doesn’t exist.

The Full Moon exposes this pattern so you can name it clearly: where are you not living in full alignment with what you know to be true?

Your Emotional Lens: 7 of Wands

    When avoidance is no longer an option, defensiveness kicks in. You may feel the need to justify yourself, to argue your position, or to guard against judgment, whether anyone is actually criticizing you or not. This is the nervous system in fight mode, bracing for attack even if the threat is only imagined.

Notice where your body tenses, where you feel yourself gearing up for battle. The invitation isn’t to deny these feelings, but to recognize them as signals: they’re telling you something in your environment feels unsafe or unsteady.

Your Direction Forward: Hierophant

    Here, the Hierophant becomes the stabilizing force. Rather than flailing between avoidance and defense, you’re asked to anchor yourself in something larger: your principles, values, or the wisdom of mentors who model integrity.

Psychologically, this is a process of internalizing authority, shifting from being swayed by fear or pressure to trusting the structures, traditions, or teachers that help you act with steadiness. The Hierophant reminds you that your energy doesn’t need to go into proving yourself. It belongs in aligning yourself.

My Advice to You:

    Over the next four weeks, notice when you catch yourself cutting corners or explaining yourself too loudly. These are your clues.

Before reacting, pause and ask: “What’s the principle I want to stand on here?” If you can ground yourself in that, you’ll find your defenses soften because you no longer need to fight, you’re simply living in truth. Integrity isn’t about being perfect, Sagittarius. It’s about being consistent with your values, even when no one else is watching.

If you’re craving ritual as much as reflection, Biddy Tarot offers a Full Moon spread and ceremony to work with this energy.

Capricorn: Desire, Heartbreak, and the Discipline to Keep Going

Desire and heartbreak walk together; steady steps rebuild the vision you still hold.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 9 of Cups

     This card surfaces where desire may have tipped into attachment. The 9 of Cups is often called the “wish card,” but under the shadow placement it asks a harder question: are the things you’re chasing bringing genuine satisfaction, or are they masking emptiness?

From a psychological lens, this is about hedonic adaptation, the way our brains adjust to pleasure until it no longer feels fulfilling.

It’s an invitation to pause and consider whether what you want is still aligned with who you are now.

Your Emotional Lens: 3 of Swords

    Grief sits here, and not just the obvious kind. Sometimes it’s disappointment in yourself, or heartbreak that you’ve carried so long it feels normal.

The 3 of Swords reflects the psyche’s need to name the wound rather than keep it buried, because suppressed pain doesn’t go away, it seeps into motivation, relationships, and self-worth. This card says: your sadness deserves to be seen. Only then can healing begin.

Your Direction Forward: Knight of Pentacles

    Slow, steady steps are the medicine. The Knight doesn’t promise quick solutions or dramatic transformation. Instead, she embodies persistence: showing up day after day, tending the soil even when the harvest feels far away.

This card validates the part of you that doesn’t give up, that knows progress built brick by brick is the only kind that lasts. Psychologically, it’s about building resilience, the capacity to keep going without burning out.

My Advice to You:

     Over the next four weeks, focus less on the “big win” and more on the small actions that restore your sense of purpose. Acknowledge where you’ve been hurt, release what no longer satisfies, and commit to one practical step each day. Think of consistency as your form of healing. The future you want will arrive, not because of sudden luck, but because you refused to stop building.

When loss feels heavy under a moon like this, you might find comfort in the dragonfly story, a reminder that spirit is closer than we think.

Aquarius: Ruins, Sovereignty, and Emotional Richness Revealed

Collapse is not the end but the release, stand sovereign in what remains.

Pisces: Child-like Wonder Meets Emotional Mastery

You are the dreamer and the anchor, let compassion guide the horizon.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 3 of Wands

    This card shines a light on impatience, that subtle voice inside whispering that you’re already behind or that progress should look bigger by now. Psychologically, this is linked to “future-orientation”, the restless tendency to focus on what hasn’t yet arrived instead of recognizing how much groundwork is already in place.

The Full Moon pulls up this tension so you can see how expectation sometimes distorts perspective. Expansion is happening, but it may not look dramatic in this exact moment.

Your Emotional Lens: Page of Cups

    Here, the emotional response is softness. The Page reminds you of the part of yourself that is curious, tender, and willing to believe in possibility even when logic doesn’t have the answers. It’s the side of your psyche that longs for novelty, connection, and playful exploration.

This can feel like daydreams bubbling up, or sudden inspiration that makes no “practical” sense. Rather than dismissing these feelings, see them as reminders of your emotional need for joy and lightness, especially when the weight of the world feels heavy.

Your Direction Forward: King of Cups

    The King offers the balance point to the Page’s innocence. This is the call to maturity, not in the sense of shutting down emotion, but in regulating it. Psychologists call this “affect regulation”, being able to hold a wide range of feelings without getting swept away.

The King shows you that true expansion doesn’t come from impulsive leaps but from responding to life with both heart and composure. You don’t need to dull your emotions; you need to lead with them in a way that steadies, rather than destabilizes, your path.

My Advice to You:

    Over the next four weeks, practice giving both parts of yourself space: the dreamer and the steady hand. When impatience rises, pause and name what you’ve already built, remind yourself you’re not starting from nothing. When your inner child wants to explore, allow moments of play without judgment. And when the tides of emotion run high, ground yourself with routines or practices that restore calm.

Progress is here, it simply needs your patience, your openness, and your steady leadership to keep unfolding.

Aries: Breaking Through Bindings Into Bold Legacy

Your legacy is waiting; all that holds you back is the illusion of limits.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 8 of Swords

     The feeling of being trapped shows up strongly here. This card isn’t about an external prison, it’s about the mental loops that convince you there’s no way out.

From a psychological perspective, it’s like cognitive distortion: the mind rehearses fear and worst-case scenarios until they feel like facts.

The eclipse energy highlights where you’ve unconsciously bound yourself, reminding you that clarity often comes not from changing the outside world but from shifting perception.

Your Emotional Lens: Knight of Swords

     In contrast to the paralysis of the 8 of Swords, the Knight brings raw urgency. Emotionally, this can feel like adrenaline, a surge of energy that demands answers now.

It’s the psyche’s way of saying, “Do something, anything.” That urgency can be empowering, but it can also make you reckless if you rush without direction. The challenge is regulating that intensity so your choices serve you, rather than becoming reactions you later regret.

Your Direction Forward: 10 of Pentacles

      The 10 of Pentacles asks you to think long-term. The freedom you’re craving isn’t just about cutting ties or breaking patterns, it’s about building something lasting that outlives this moment of urgency. This card ties your current decisions to the bigger picture: family, stability, and the legacy you’re creating.

It’s a reminder that clarity doesn’t come from escaping pressure but from choosing where you want your energy to land for years to come.

My Advice to You:

    This Full Moon asks you to balance speed with foresight. When you feel the rush of urgency, pause and ask yourself: Will this decision matter in five years? If the answer is yes, let your Knight charge. If the answer is no, step back and breathe before acting. Your liberation isn’t in doing something fast, it’s in doing something that feels aligned with the kind of life you’re building.

Taurus: Burdens, Secrets, and the Crossing to Freedom

You can’t carry it all, liberation begins when you set burdens down.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 6 of Swords

     This card often represents transition, but here the shadow is avoidance. It’s the feeling of wanting to drift away from difficulty without fully facing what happened.

Psychologically, this is a common defense, our minds sometimes push us to escape before the wound has been processed. The trouble is, if the pain isn’t integrated, it follows us silently.

The Full Moon asks you to notice where you’re sailing away without looking back, and whether unfinished feelings are still weighing in the boat.

Your Emotional Lens: 7 of Swords

     The 7 of Swords shows up as mistrust. Emotionally, this can feel like suspicion, secrecy, or the sense that you have to “hide” something to protect yourself. For some, it’s the belief that others aren’t being honest; for others, it’s withholding truths of your own.

From a psychological perspective, this points to hypervigilance, the nervous system on guard, scanning for betrayal. While self-protection is natural, too much of it isolates you. This eclipse is stirring old doubts so you can see them clearly, rather than letting them quietly dictate your connections.

Your Direction Forward: 10 of Wands

     The 10 of Wands is the image of someone carrying far too much on their shoulders. It speaks to responsibility taken to the point of strain, where even good intentions become exhausting. Here the advice is simple but not easy: lighten the load.

Delegate what you can, release what doesn’t belong to you, and notice how often you say “yes” out of obligation instead of truth. The Full Moon cycle is a chance to set limits so you can walk further without breaking down.

My Advice for You:

     Over the next four weeks, your work is to confront what you’ve been avoiding, name the mistrust that lingers, and actively release what isn’t yours to carry. Think of it less as dropping responsibility and more as creating enough space to breathe.

Trust grows when you give yourself permission to stop hiding and stop over-carrying. The eclipse is offering you passage into calmer waters—your job is to step onto the boat lighter than before.

When loss feels heavy under a moon like this, you might find comfort in the dragonfly story, a reminder that spirit is closer than we think.

Gemini: Temptation, Triumph, and the Heart that Leads

Your triumph comes not from denial, but from leading with your shadows.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: Devil (Drama!)

    The Devil calls attention to where control or compulsion has been running the show. This might not be something dramatic, it can look like overthinking, people-pleasing, or leaning too heavily on habits that numb discomfort.

Psychologically, it reflects the pull of reinforcement loops: the short-term comfort of repeating a pattern that ultimately keeps you stuck. This Full Moon exposes the quiet bargains you’ve made with yourself that limit your freedom.

Your Emotional Lens: King of Cups

Here the King offers stability. The emotional terrain of the next few weeks may feel turbulent, but this card points to your capacity for regulation. From a psychological lens, it’s about developing tolerance for mixed feelings without rushing to escape them.

Mastery doesn’t mean suppressing emotion; it means allowing space for anger, grief, or longing to exist without letting them dictate your every move. The King embodies emotional authority, a reminder that your heart can guide you when your mind wants to run.

Your Direction Forward: 6 of Wands

The 6 of Wands shines light on triumph and recognition, but not in the shallow sense of applause. Victory here is integration, the courage to walk forward with your shadows acknowledged rather than hidden. Others notice not just your accomplishments, but your authenticity.

From a clinical perspective, this is the growth of self-efficacy: the confidence that you can act, endure, and succeed while being wholly yourself.

My Advice for You:

This Full Moon invites you to confront one unhealthy cycle with honesty and decide how you want to respond differently.

Practice naming the feeling rather than running from it, “I feel anxious,” “I feel dependent,” “I feel pulled.” That simple act begins to unhook the Devil’s hold. Allow the King of Cups to steady your emotional waters, then step into the 6 of Wands energy by celebrating small victories. Every time you resist slipping back into old patterns, you’ve already won.

Cancer: Collaboration, Compassion, and Strength Made Gentle

Your courage lives in tenderness, strength is found in how softly you hold.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: 3 of Pentacles

      The instinct to isolate can be subtle. You may find yourself convinced that if you do it alone, at least you’ll know it’s done “right.” But this card reminds you that perfectionism can mask as independence, keeping you from experiences that require trust.

Psychologically, this can look like a fear of being judged, or a belief that others will only slow you down. The shadow is not your capability, it’s the reluctance to let others in where it matters.

Your Emotional Lens: Knight of Cups

    The inner landscape here is sensitive, hopeful, and a little raw. You may feel a pull toward expressing affection, sending that message, or making a small gesture that bridges distance.

There’s vulnerability in leading with your heart, and the risk of rejection can feel heightened under this Full Moon. But emotionally, this card is about courage, the bravery it takes to put kindness into motion. Even the smallest offer can soften tension and open doors.

Your Direction Forward: Strength

     Strength is not force, it’s self-regulation. This card highlights your ability to calm the nervous system, to soothe the parts of you that want to lash out or shut down. True power, in this sense, is patience.

It’s learning that gentleness doesn’t mean weakness; it means you’re secure enough to hold steady when things get messy. When you resist the urge to overpower or withdraw, you embody a deeper resilience that others instinctively trust.

My Advice for You:

     The weeks ahead will ask you to move beyond self-protection and practice collaborative trust. Let people see not just your competence, but your care. Share the work, share the load, share the heart. If you can resist the old story that “no one will do it like I do,” you’ll discover that connection itself is the strength you’ve been craving.

Not sure if it’s intuition or just nerves? Learn how to tell the difference and trust what you’re feeling.

Leo: Resurrection, Memory, and the Road Forward

Resurrection is here, rise, forgive, and move with unshakable fire.

Your Shadow Being Exposed: Judgement

    This card shines a light on your tendency to judge yourself harshly or cling to guilt. What surfaces now is the voice of self-criticism that says you should’ve known better or done better.

Psychologically, this is the superego speaking, the part of the mind that polices behavior and sometimes confuses growth with punishment. Instead of condemning yourself, see this as a moment of integration.

Every misstep has also been a teacher, and the wisdom you hold now could not exist without those earlier choices. This Full Moon is less about verdicts and more about renewal: releasing the harsh judge within and letting self-compassion become your compass.

Your Emotional Lens: 6 of Cups

   Emotionally, you may feel drawn back to old times, longing for a simpler version of yourself, or replaying connections that once felt pure and safe. Nostalgia is natural under this Moon, but it can be a double-edged sword. Psychologically, memory often edits itself, softening the edges of difficulty and exaggerating comfort as a way to soothe the present.

This card asks you to notice whether you’re looking back as a form of avoidance, or as a genuine reminder of what qualities you’d like to bring forward.

Joy, kindness, and childlike openness are not trapped in the past, they are resources you can re-embody here and now, in an adult, conscious way.

Your Direction Forward: The Chariot

   The path ahead requires agency. The Chariot represents willpower, focus, and self-direction, but it also acknowledges tension: two forces pulling in different directions that must be harnessed.

In psychological terms, it’s about executive function, the ability to regulate impulses and channel conflicting drives into purposeful motion.

You don’t need every answer mapped out to begin; you need alignment between your values and your choices. The Chariot reminds you that moving forward is both a risk and a relief, and that clarity will emerge as you commit to the road.

Taking the reins now is not about control over everything, it’s about leadership over yourself.

My Advice for You:

   Let this Full Moon be the line where you stop punishing yourself for what’s already done. Reflect, yes, but don’t stay frozen in self-analysis. Revisit the best parts of your past for inspiration, not escape, and then commit to the next stretch of your path with conviction. Trust that your future is not a rejection of your history, but a continuation of it, steered with clearer eyes and a steadier hand.

Closing Reflection

This Full Moon eclipse in Pisces brings a collective reminder: endings and beginnings are woven together. For some, it may feel like grief; for others, liberation.

What unites us is the chance to see more clearly where love, intuition, and courage intersect. The energy going forward is not about grasping for certainty but embracing compassion, releasing illusions, and moving with trust into what is next.

If this eclipse already has you feeling restless, maybe it’s time to book a reading and see what clarity the cards can bring.
