On September 7, 2025, the skies will gift us a breathtaking spectacle: a Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in the visionary sign of Aquarius. From Mallorca, the Moon will rise already touched by shadow, a celestial lantern half-veiled in crimson mystery.

But what does this mean, spiritually, for the modern mystic? And how can we align with its magick? Let’s journey into the depths of this cosmic threshold.

✦ What is a Blood Moon?

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth slides between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow across the lunar face. Instead of vanishing, the Moon glows a deep red or copper hue.

This crimson glow happens because sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere—scattering shorter blue wavelengths and bending only the longer red ones onto the lunar surface. The same effect that paints our sunsets fiery orange also cloaks the eclipsed Moon in blood-red radiance.

For ancient peoples, this omen was powerful and often fearsome. The term “Blood Moon” came to signify more than its appearance: it was a sign of endings, karmic revelations, and great transformations. Spiritually, eclipses symbolize the bleeding away of illusions, shadow work, and the death of the old self before rebirth.

✦ The Mystical Full Moon Eclipse in Aquarius

Full Moons illuminate. In Aquarius, the illumination falls upon:

Community & Humanity – Aquarius is the Water-Bearer, carrying visions of unity and collective healing.
Innovation & Liberation – It asks us to free ourselves from outdated patterns and embrace fresh, visionary pathways.
Detachment for Clarity – Aquarius grants us the gift of stepping back to see the bigger cosmic picture.

Under this eclipse, expect revelations around your role in community, your ideals, and the ways you express your authentic uniqueness.

Harness the lunar eclipse energy with these guiding stones:

Amethyst (Air/Spirit) – The Aquarian stone of intuition and higher consciousness.

Journaling Prompts
- What outdated patterns or beliefs am I ready to release into shadow?
- How can I align my unique gifts with the collective good?
- Where in my life am I called to break free and innovate?
- What truth about myself is being revealed under this eclipse?
Seal the Magick: Hold your sachet to your heart. Speak your affirmation aloud three times. Carry this amulet with you as the Moon completes her phase, during waning and then waxing back to fullness in the next full moon, keep the talisman of Aquarian vision and charge under each full moon.

✦ Spiritually, What Does This Eclipse Mean?

The Blood Moon in Aquarius is a liminal gateway: endings, revelations, karmic release. It strips away illusions, especially around social belonging and authenticity. It asks us to embrace change, release attachments, and embody the visionary self who can serve both personal truth and collective evolution. This moon phase is ruled by the goddess Hecate. It is an auspicious time to work with her if you seek healing through shadow work, divination practices, and radical change.

It is both shadow and light: a cosmic purge, and a rebirth into clarity.
