Moon Magic—Full Moon and New Moon Tarot insights for September 2025
Welcome, and step into the moonlight with me. The moon’s rhythm offers us a sacred opportunity to pause, reflect, release, and begin again.
As we move through each phase, the energy around us shifts—and so do we. This month, two eclipses will bring amplified energy and even deeper transformation. The dreamy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces will stir your intuition and inspire you to release any emotional baggage. At the same time, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Virgo will help you to ground your visions with structure and intention.
Let’s explore what the moon—and your inner wisdom—wants to reveal this month.
Full Moon in Pisces—September 7, 2025 (Lunar Eclipse)
Pisces is a water sign, associated with the Moon card in tarot, and it embodies the energy of deep intuition, creativity, and dreaming big, as well as spiritual connection. Regardless of your sun sign, this full moon eclipse invites you to surrender control, trust your inner guidance, and reconnect with the unseen currents of your soul. It’s a time to let go of illusions and soften into the healing waters of your own truth.
The Full Moon marks the peak of the lunar cycle—where energy is at its most heightened, and this illumination brings clarity. With an eclipse amplifying the energy, this is a powerful moment of culmination and transformation. It’s a sacred time to release what no longer aligns with your emotional or spiritual path—outdated beliefs, hidden fears, and unconscious patterns. Think of it as an energetic exhale—a chance to shed emotional weight and make space for a deeper sense of peace and alignment.
Tarot Spread:
Card #1—Which cycle is ending? The Hanged Man— A sacrifice you’ve made or a new perspective you’ve adopted is about to pay off. It can be uncomfortable to shift your viewpoint and see the world from a different angle, but you are finding your balance now and releasing your fear.
Card #2 – What’s holding you back? The World— While some of your dreams may have manifested, beware of complacency. Your world is always expanding. Start envisioning the next step in your growth. It’s right outside your comfort zone. You create your world. What do you want it to look like?
Card #3 – Where to heal and transform. Knight of Swords—Swords represent the element of Air and symbolize our thoughts and ideas. Knights charge in with passion but often lack follow-through, and the Knight of Swords has many great ideas and no hesitation to follow his intuition. This full moon is inviting you to bring your idea to fruition by slowing down and plotting your course for success.
- Affirmation: “I release what clouds my intuition and trust the wisdom that flows from within.”
- Journaling Prompt: Where in my life am I being called to pause and gain a new perspective before I take bold, aligned action toward a greater purpose?
New Moon in Virgo—September 21, 2025 (Solar Eclipse)
This is our second Virgo New Moon in thirty days, and combining that earth energy with the solar eclipse makes this cycle the perfect time to focus on self-care and personal growth. Virgo’s introspective and analytical nature is reflected in The Hermit tarot card, calling us to shine a light within to seek answers. It’s time to organize your thoughts and plan for the path ahead with mindful precision.
With the New Moon symbolizing fresh starts and the Solar Eclipse amplifying its energy, this moment becomes a cosmic invitation to reset. Solar eclipses often bring hidden truths to light and accelerate transformation, making this the ideal time to set intentions that support long-term growth. Trust that the insights revealed now are paving the way for a more aligned and purposeful chapter.
Tarot Spread:
Card #1 – Details to notice. Ace of Pentacles—Pentacles represent the element of earth, symbolizing our material world, health, and finances, and the Ace is the beginning of a brand new cycle. This could be a new income stream or maybe a new self-care routine. Be present and alert when it comes to your self-care and money.
Card #2 – Where to put your effort. 10 of Cups— This card invites you to follow your heart and prioritize emotional fulfillment. Representing the element of water, the Cups cards speak to our feelings, relationships, and inner harmony. The Ten marks a cycle of completion and joy. As this new moon begins, reflect on your intentions. If something doesn’t align with your happiness or heart’s desire, this isn’t the time to invest your energy there.
Card #3 – Where to begin again. 10 of Pentacles— This card represents long-term abundance, stability, and the rewards of your efforts. While the Ace signals a fresh start, the Ten reminds you that your next beginning is rooted in everything you’ve already built. Use this Virgo New Moon to refocus your energy on the foundations that support your well-being, especially your health and finances. You are not starting from scratch; you are starting from strength. Trust in your worth and the value you bring to every endeavor.
- Affirmation: “I plant new seeds with intention, guided by joy and built on the strength.”
- Journaling Prompt: What small, intentional step can I take now that supports both my emotional well-being and long-term stability?
As September’s lunar energies move from the mystical waters of the Pisces Full Moon Eclipse to the focused earthiness of the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse, we’re offered a powerful opportunity to integrate emotion with intention. This is a time to honor your inner knowing while taking grounded steps toward growth and alignment.
These eclipses are inviting us to trust both our inner wisdom and our power to create lasting change. Let the tarot be your guide, the moon be your compass, and your intuition be the wisdom you return to again and again. This month’s celestial events are not just moments—they’re portals.
Step through them with clarity, care, and courage.
