Walking Through the Eclipse Corridor

14 - 20 SEPTEMBER 2025
We are walking the long corridor between eclipses, a space where the air feels charged yet strangely quiet, as though the Universe is holding its breath. The Pisces Blood Moon has washed through us, dissolving illusions and softening our grip on what was never meant to last. Its waves may have left us tender, a little raw, perhaps even unsure of who we are without the stories that just fell away. And yet, beneath the tenderness, a quiet clarity is stirring.
This week carries the feeling of expectancy, like standing on the shore before the tide turns. You may sense something brewing beneath the surface, a restlessness that mixes with hope. There’s an urge to simplify, to clear space, to tend gently to your body and your routines. These small, grounding actions are not distractions; they are sacred preparation.
The lesson of this corridor is patience. It asks us to sit in the pause without rushing to fill it, to trust the dissolving as much as the becoming. It teaches us that what has ended was necessary, and that what is coming needs space to form the deep roots it needs to thrive. The blessing hidden here is the gift of time; we have a moment to breathe, to begin to integrate, to align ourselves with the deeper truth of what we really want to carry forward into the next chapter of our lives.
Virgo’s steady wisdom is the hand guiding us through. It whispers that the sacred is found in the details in the way we nourish our bodies, in the way we keep our spaces clear, in the way we return to balance each day. It steadies us while the unseen shifts rearrange our future.
This week is not the rebirth yet, that comes with the Virgo Solar Eclipse and Equinox next week, but it is the holy pause before the new sunrise, the moment where we prepare to step into clarity, grounded, open, and ready.
Astrology Highlights
Sept 18 – Mercury enters Libra
A softer tone in communication arrives. You may feel drawn toward compromise, beauty, and creative expression in your conversations.
Sept 19 – Venus enters Virgo
Venus calls us back into the details of self-care. This is a time to refine your rituals, treat your body as sacred, and let love be expressed through simple, supportive actions.
Looking ahead — Sept 22: Virgo Solar Eclipse + Equinox
Next week is massive: the final eclipse of 2025 arrives, paired with the Equinox, a day of balance and renewal. Together, these energies mark a profound threshold of new beginnings grounded in clarity, health, and integrity.
How It Feels / What We're Learning
This week may feel: Expectant, restless beneath the surface, like you know change is near.
What we’re learning:
To prepare without pushing.
To honour the pause before the leap.
To trust that tending to the “small things” now (self-care, routines, grounding) will prepare us for the big shifts ahead.
The bigger picture: This week is the bridge. Next week, the door opens.
You are in the still point between tides. The old has been washed away, the new not yet formed. Trust this pause it is not stagnation, but sacred brewing. What you plant within yourself this week will be illuminated and rooted under the eclipse and equinox. Tend your ground. Prepare with love. The new is almost here.
Soul Guidance
Honour your body with rest, nourishment, and gentle movement.
Use this week to simplify, clear clutter, refine routines, and create space.
Write down intentions, but don’t act yet, save the planting for the eclipse window.
Allow yourself to feel anticipation without rushing.

✨ Affirmation of the Week
"I prepare with presence and patience. I trust the pause before the new story begins."
As this week draws to a close, we will find ourselves at the edge of something big, just around the corner, the Virgo Solar Eclipse and the Equinox are waiting, a double doorway of rebirth and balance.
You may feel the brewing of this moment in your body, in your breath, in the quiet between thoughts. It may feel like a storm building at sea, invisible but undeniable. This is the hum of destiny, the gathering of energy before it shifts into form. Do not fear the anticipation. Let it remind you that your higher self is at play, your choices are being woven into the next chapter.
The lesson of this week is to trust deeply, trust the pause, trust the process, trust the timing. The blessing is presence, the chance to stand fully awake at the threshold, to feel the stirrings of the new before it arrives without the need to act or react, just be.
When the Virgo Solar Eclipse rises on September 22, accompanied by the Equinox, you will cross into renewal. The seeds you plant will take root in soil that has been cleared, softened, and prepared by all that has come before.
So breathe deeply. Rest gently. Listen closely. This is the last quiet moment before the new story begins.
I love you,
Sarah
