When patterns rise to the surface, they can finally be seen and dissolved. The September solar eclipse opens a threshold where karma is accelerated and our potential awakened. Creating pressure to make a decision and choose a direction.
Eclipses are polarizing events. Rahu and Ketu, themselves, are symbols of agitation, rebirth and polarity. They usher in important shifts and breakthroughs. Our Karma burns faster under their activation. We are pushed into moments of reckoning where important breakthroughs become possible.
Saturn’s Gaze
At the peak of the eclipse, Saturn stands opposite at a near-exact degree. Saturn, the planet of measurement and restriction, looks directly into the eclipse with its full weight. An open view of what has expired. Where you may have felt blocked or held back. Old commitments/decisions questioned. What you could not put together becomes clear.
Saturn’s intensity brings the possibility of lasting change, a call to focus deliberately on what truly matters. Power, responsibility, and endurance come into sharper view.

Relationships and Reflection
The eclipse falls in Uttara Phalguni, the star of union now darkened. Venus with Ketu 12th from the eclipse indicates possible hidden desires intertwined with karmic release. A moment of realisation within a connection. Drawing attention to challenges within relationships. Themes of commitment and agreements, old wounds may surface, triggering hard discussions to be had.
Mercury, also present in the eclipse, is quite powerful and skilled in his own sign. Helping to make sense of the chaos.
The Past vs. The Present
This eclipse coincides with the last day of Pitru Paksha, the honouring of our ancestors. A deep symbol of reckoning with our lineage, our past, and the karmas we carry. How the past shaped us, and in turn, how we choose to shape what comes next.
The Rebirth of the Goddess
From this closing comes renewal. The eclipse is immediately followed by Navratri, the nine nights of the Goddess. On September 22nd. The moon, having disappeared into the Sun, begins to re-emerge. With its return, so too does the power of manifestation, the re-awakening of the feminine force, the promise of new creation.
As the equinox balances the scales of light and dark, the eclipse clears the way. In this act of purification, we make more space. A door opens. Something new begins.
Each eclipse is a threshold, a powerful opening that stirs us deeply while pointing the way ahead. Book A Reading to discover where these changes are leading and how to align with the energy they awaken.
