Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to
Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to theweek of September 21st through
September 27th, and you knowwhat that means.
This is, yet again, eclipseWeek.
(00:25):
Oh my gosh, will it never end?
No, it won't.
That's how it works, so let'sget into it.
It's a very complicated cosmosthis week.
Yeah, let's get into it.
So first let me just thank youfor being here.
Sorry I had to miss last week,but I was at the International
(00:49):
Herbal Symposium and it wasfantastic.
So I don't talk about it reallyon this podcast, but I'm also
an herbalist and I'm a certifiedflower essence practitioner, so
sometimes I have to put on thatother hat and unfortunately
this time it took me away fromyou and I really did miss you.
(01:09):
Thank you for being here.
I'm super excited to pickthings back up again and you
know what I'm going to say.
It helps me so much if youshare the podcast with other
people, if you make comments,rate it, do all the things.
It really helps me get my workout into the world and I'd be
(01:32):
really grateful if you did that.
All right, so let's get on withit.
We got too much to talk about.
This is a partial solar eclipseon September 21st.
It is happening in Virgo, yes,so this is the bookend.
This is the opposite of thetotal lunar eclipse in Pisces we
(01:52):
just had a couple of weeks ago.
This is intense.
You know, we've got Saturnopposing the moon and in the
sign of the North Node, which Ilike to call the North Node of
Destiny.
So it's really complicated and,honestly, that's not even the
half of it.
There's all kinds of otherstuff going on.
(02:15):
One of the bigger things goingon this week, in addition to
what we're going to be talkingabout, is that there's this kite
happening, and we talked aboutkites a few weeks ago.
They are generally a veryuplifting kind of energy, like a
kite soaring in the sky.
Right, in this case we'retalking about Mercury in Libra,
(02:38):
pluto in Aquarius, saturn inPisces.
So this connects the kite tothe eclipse.
Right, because Saturn is partof both Uranus in Gemini and
Neptune in Aries.
It's a lot.
But again, generally kites,they have one main opposition
and then all of the other anglesare really positive angles.
(03:02):
So we do soar, but this week Idon't know, because the eclipse
is involved and so it's supercomplicated and I think that's
one of the big things I want tosay about this week.
It's super complicated.
So I'm not going to talk aboutthe kite in today's episode
(03:23):
because that would just make itway way too long.
Let me know by going over toSubstack Pisces Moon.
Now.
My Substack doesn't go up untilSunday, so you guys get the
information first here.
But if you go over to mySubstack on Sunday or any time
after that and leave me acomment saying that you want an
(03:46):
episode on the kite, I am happyto do that.
But I need to hear from peoplethat you want that.
Okay.
If you want me to talk aboutthe kite, I will.
It's just too much to do here.
But again, I want to reallystress that the energy this week
is complex.
So if you're feeling kind oflike, wow, this seems so much
(04:08):
bigger than a partial eclipse,which generally hit us not so
hard, it's because there arejust so many.
Even the kite, that's not evenall of it.
There are a million thingsgoing on in the sky this week
and I think we're going to feelthat as much as we feel any of
the separate pieces, I thinkwe're going to possibly be
(04:30):
exhausted.
So if that's you, give yourselftime to rest I think we're
possibly going to feel sort ofjust overwhelmed and again, take
care of yourself.
This just is the energy, andthis week I really think we're
going to need a little extradowntime, self-care.
(04:52):
Yeah, just be gentle withyourself.
There's a lot going on, okay.
So that's a big takeaway, butnow let's get into the actual
eclipse and talk about whatthat's going to bring.
(05:15):
So the normal stuff.
This is an eclipse, which meansthat there are going to be
faded events, things that arereally outside of our control,
and control is the other keyword for this week.
The eclipse is actuallyhappening in Virgo, so, right
there, we know there are controlissues, right, because that's
always the case, but eclipses domake things happen that are
(05:35):
intended to just sort of shoveus in the right direction.
So that's another.
I know I'm going to keep sayingthis over and over.
This is a takeaway and that's atakeaway.
Remember, I said it's another.
I know I'm going to keep sayingthis over and over this is a
takeaway and that's a takeaway.
Remember, I said it'scomplicated, but this is another
thing that we need to rememberno matter how weird this week
might get.
We've got fated events going onand they're actually in our
(05:58):
best interest.
They are meant to give us thatshove we need.
Even though we may not know weneed it right now or we may not
like it, it's going to give usthat shove we need to send us
down the path toward our destiny.
So these are really correctiveenergies and we need to remind
ourselves when they get sort ofyucky.
(06:19):
We need to remind ourselvesthat ultimately, we will all be
glad that the events of thisweek happen.
So some more of the basics.
This is a south node eclipse.
These are always about lettinggo, and I know this is going to
sound a little bit redundant,because remember, when we did
(06:41):
the total lunar eclipse inPisces, we were talking about
moving away from that Virgoenergy toward the Pisces energy,
where the North Node is.
Well, it's the same thing.
These are bookends, right?
This is a set so themes thatwe've been dealing with all
(07:01):
month.
They're going to keep going on,right, we're still in that
energy, but now it's a littlebit more focused on the letting
go.
I guess that's how I would sayit, because the eclipse is
actually with the south node.
So it's all that Virgo stuffattention to detail, meticulous
(07:22):
planning, control, all of thatVirgo energy, that energy that
makes Virgos really goodadministrators and managers.
Something in that is what weneed to let go of.
Now, one of the problems, one ofthe many problems.
This is a partial, but it's asolar eclipse.
(07:46):
We always see things moreclearly after a solar eclipse,
but first we generally gothrough some confusion when
we're not seeing things soclearly because, remember, the
sun is eclipsed, even if onlypartially.
Part of our light, part of ourvision is obscured.
(08:09):
So expect for some confusion tocome up and expect that we're
going to have to look atsituations in different ways.
That's another theme of solareclipses.
We have to adjust our visionbecause the normal sunlit path
(08:31):
is obscured.
Another thing to remember isthat a solar eclipse is a new
moon.
So for all you people settingintentions in the new moon
energy I don't know my advicemight be skip it.
But if you're not going to skipit I know a lot of people just
(08:52):
generally don't do woo-woopractices during eclipses, and
there's good reason for that.
But if you're not going to skipit, remember that this new moon
is about letting go, seeingthings differently.
It's also about releasingcontrol.
So if you were going to set anew moon intention around those
(09:14):
kinds of topics, that might workout just fine.
You do, you?
I think I'm skipping, so let'sget into some of the things that
are not going to work well thisweek.
Clinging is not going to work.
This is about release.
That's what the south node isand remember, this is something
we're probably not seeingcompletely clearly and that's
(09:37):
going to be the part that Ithink is going to be difficult
and maybe even painful for somepeople because we're not seeing
it clearly.
So we're clinging on tosomething that we believe we
should cling to right, or thatwe don't recognize.
We're clinging to Somethinglike that.
Visibility is poor.
This could be anything.
(09:58):
Look at what house Virgooccupies in your chart.
That'll give you a big hint onwhat needs to get tweaked here.
But it could be our image.
We're clinging to a certainimage, to power, to a person.
That's going to be a hard onefor a lot of people this week.
I know from working withclients this is already in the
(10:21):
works and, yeah, it could be agoal that we've held for a long
time that we're clinging to aparticular way of doing things,
that we're clinging to aparticular way of doing things
anything.
Look at that house placement.
(10:41):
For some of us we're going toknow more easily than others
because, again, it depends onhow the eclipse works in your
natal chart.
So some of us are going to kindof get it.
It doesn't mean we're going tolike it, it doesn't mean we're
going to stop the clinging andrelease more easily, but we'll
kind of be like, yeah, I sort ofknow what the thing is.
Other people are going to belike me I don't cling, I'm a go
with the flow kind of girl.
(11:02):
Yeah, yeah, those people aregoing to have a way harder time.
Prepare to see the thing thatyou don't want.
Now, you probably know you'veprobably had doubts, you've
probably had little suspicions,but it's that lover who never
really has given us what we need, has always kind of caused
(11:26):
insecurities.
You know that lover.
But we know we can make it work.
You know that one.
Yeah, the house that we'reliving in that we know we can't
actually afford, but we love itand we don't want to move and
moving is such a hassle.
It could be a job.
(11:46):
That's a good job.
I wish you could see me doingthe bunny ears.
You know that good job that youdon't actually love, but you
love the paycheck and you lovethe security.
It's very Virgo to want to bevery earthy and grounded about
that.
But maybe the job just killsyour creativity or hurts your
(12:09):
soul or you just don't reallyhonestly vibe with it.
Or, on the other end, thecreative project I've been
working on this play, thisscreenplay, this novel, this
painting, whatever it is and Iknow I can get it to work Really
.
Sometimes creative projects haveto just be put in the scrap
(12:33):
pile, right, and it's never easyand it's never fun, and
sometimes we just have to knowthat we're at that place.
Yeah, it's those kind of thingsthat this week could very
likely bring up.
We're just forced.
That lover who's never, evergiven what you need, that lover
(12:55):
is going to do a thing thatfinally can't be ignored, that
you can't explain away.
The boss at that dead-end jobor maybe it's not even dead-end,
maybe it's just not right foryou, right, but that boss is
going to be a new level of jerkSomething is going to come up
where you have to look at itdifferently and you have to let
(13:18):
it go.
And yikes, who likes doing that?
If we wanted to let it go.
We would already done so, right.
So it can be rough.
I'm just saying it can.
Now, before we get too down,because I am going to talk about
one more, even more yucky thing.
Maybe Not more yucky,absolutely not more.
(13:40):
But I'm going to talk about oneother kind of harsh part about
all of this.
But do remember, stay with me,don't get depressed.
We are moving toward that.
Pisces spirituality this weekis just helping us get there,
okay.
So hold on, we're going to talkabout Pisces in just a minute,
but before we do remember thatSaturn opposition I mentioned
(14:02):
earlier.
Saturn is down with the NorthNode in Pisces, opposing the new
moon eclipse.
So what is Saturn?
Well, he's a lot of things.
We've been talking all yearabout restructuring and
boundaries and redrawing ourboundaries, and those issues
could absolutely come up.
But Saturn also rules legacyand the past and the way things
(14:30):
have always been, the old ways.
So this is another thing thatwe need to sort of put into the
mix.
What things are we clinging to?
Just because that's what we'vealways done?
I've always lived in this house, I've always worked in this
(14:50):
kind of job.
I've been in love with thispartner for a gazillion years.
You know that sense oflongevity or some situation that
we're in, having history withit.
But when we really think aboutit the history is not that great
.
But Saturn wants to hold on.
(15:11):
Saturn doesn't, you know, likejust changing course.
It's like steady, straightahead kind of guy and Virgo
likes to cling, because Virgo isvery much about no, I can make
it work, virgo's the brain.
It's ruled by Mercury.
Right, it's that I can, I'lljust make a better plan.
(15:33):
That's not going to do it.
We have Saturn and we haveVirgo kind of pulling us into
that.
If I just work harder, stick itout, I can do it.
And I promise you you can't,you can't.
It's time to let go.
And how do we do that?
We use Saturn's good qualitiesdown in Pisces, all right, as an
(15:56):
opposition to the moon.
Saturn's not a good guy.
But Saturn on his own is hardwork and discipline and reaching
goals.
But it's the Piscean goals, notthose Mercury mind plans,
logical thinking kind of goals.
It's Pisces, it's spirituality,it's trusting your intuition.
(16:23):
Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, theplanet.
So it's just having faith thatyour heart will take you in the
right place.
But you first have to see itclearly and recognize that, that
relationship, that job, thatimage you have of yourself, that
whatever it is.
(16:44):
It's that, yes, you want it tobe that, but it just isn't.
So we first have to do thathard bit about looking at the
truth, and then we have to dreamand we have to get into our
intuition and we have to, youknow, meditate or pray or
(17:06):
whatever the thing is.
You do that's in that spiritualrealm and the work that you put
in there and I know it soundskind of wrong, but there is such
a thing as spiritual work so itmay be.
You know that you're not reallyfeeling like going to
meditation class today.
(17:28):
Do people do meditation classes?
I don't even know if that's athing.
Maybe you don't feel likesitting alone and meditating.
Maybe you don't exactly feellike doing any kind of deity
work, if you're into that kindof thing.
But learning to trust that thisis going to be okay and you
(17:48):
know what Saturn does rewardhard work.
But Saturn is also slow andvalues taking things slowly.
So that hard work, that gettingback to spiritual center or
getting in touch with intuition,so that it can lead you forward
, that doesn't all have to becompleted this week.
(18:12):
We're still in this eclipseseries for all of next year,
right?
So it doesn't all have tohappen now.
Rest, take your time.
If you're kind of bummed fromwhat the week is bringing up for
you, let yourself mourn theloss.
It's okay to say I know I haveto let go of him, it her, that
(18:36):
whatever it is, but I'm nothappy about it.
I don't have to have a partyfor it.
Maybe you need to go lay down.
Maybe you need to go lay down.
It's Pisces.
Try things like walking by theocean or lake or whatever's
around you.
Take some time in nature, evenif that's a city park.
(18:58):
Take care of yourself, but leaninto your intuition and
trusting that this is all goingto turn out for the best,
because it is.
This is fate, this is ourdestiny.
Right, we got this, we do, andactually maybe it'll feel kind
(19:20):
of good to get out of our brainsfor a little while.
We got this.
It's going to be a complicatedweek.
It may not be so much fun.
For some people.
It's not going to be any kindof fun.
Just keep telling yourself.
You know in your heart what theright thing to do is and you
(19:41):
trust that this is moving youtowards something better.
It is moving you toward yourdestiny.
I promise you it will getbetter, it will get better.
I hope the week is gentle foreveryone, as gentle as it can be
.
I hope that we all are just,you know, swimming in the
(20:01):
oceanic Piscean waters.
That's my wish waters that's mywish honestly.
I am hoping for gentle energythis week.
Take care of yourselves.
I'm really glad you're here.
I'm really grateful for all ofyou.
Book a session if you need asession.
(20:22):
Sometimes having somebody helpyou analyze this stuff in your
own chart can alleviate some ofthe fear and help you see with
clarity earlier.
So if you haven't done it yet,book a session.
All the links are in the shownotes and stuff like that.
Okay, come talk to me onSubstack.
Let me know if you want anepisode on the kite.
(20:42):
That's happening this week.
And yeah, that's all I gotUntil next week.
Go out and seize the energiesof the stars.
This is my wish for you always,and I will talk to you soon.
Bye.
