We're just a few days away from the official beginning of fall but the sun is still beating down on us, dragging out the last few weeks of summer as best as it can before a chill hits the air. To usher in this new season, we have another full moon, one urging us to all slow down a bit as the colder months approach.
Full moons give us a chance to wipe the slate clean and start anew just before a new month begins. The upcoming Full Harvest Moon, which also happens to be a lunar eclipse, happening on September 17th in the sign of Pisces, asks us to reflect on all the growing we've been doing over the year and what those changes mean for our future.

This month's full moon is a powerful one, not just because of its own properties, but because it also happens to be a lunar eclipse.
While full moons are meant to cleanse our souls so we can go forward with clarity, eclipses add another layer to that, turning our focus inward to deal with the thoughts, frustrations, and worries we harbor inside. Let your mind flow freely during this time, it will be guided to the topics you need to address, like the ones listed here for each astrological sign.
You may notice big changes within yourself when you least expect them, Aries. Take time to reflect on how your mindset, emotions, and reactions have shifted over the past several months. You might have started handling familiar stress and challenges in healthier ways without even realizing it.
Healing isn't always straightforward, but you've made significant progress as of late. Around this eclipse, be mindful of the people and situations that influence you, especially during the days just before and after. They may test your growth, encouraging you to recognize how far you've come in your personal journey. Keep an open mind to the lessons that emerge.
How can you tell if someone is a true friend, Taurus? This eclipse may reveal people's true intentions and feelings, good or bad. Consider who's come closer and who's drifted away over the past few months. You might have a stronger connection to some people you didn't expect, while others you thought were close may seem more distant.
Friendships shift naturally as life changes. There's no amount of grasping and desperation that'll stop this inevitable change. Instead, you can choose to accept it. This eclipse will show you who fits into your life as it is now. Focus on building up those relationships rather than clinging to the old ones that no longer serve you.
What kind of mark do you want to leave on the world, Gemini? Think about the progress you've made over the last few months. Are you happy with what you’ve achieved? Do you feel like these accomplishments reflect the person you want to be remembered as? Your answers to these questions can reveal a lot about the life you're shaping.
This eclipse can help you build a legacy that really reflects who you are and what you want to leave behind. It’s a powerful time to reassess your goals and direction, giving you the chance to realign your path with your deeper purpose. Know that an even more authentic version of yourself is waiting for you in the future.
Life will guide you to where you need to be, Cancer. Trust the process. Over the past few months, you may have learned to focus more on the present rather than where you're headed, which has brought a lot of peace to your soul. Living in the moment can bring more fulfillment than you expected.
You may have also explored new ways of thinking, gaining insight into your beliefs and values. Lessons may have come from unexpected places, offering wisdom when you needed it most. As the eclipse approaches, you're feeling more grounded in your understanding of the world, encouraging you to embrace the peace that comes from accepting where life has brought you so far.
Are you satisfied with your financial situation, Leo? You'll soon start to see the results of the choices you’ve made in the past several months. This period may have given you a better sense of control over your finances. You might feel more confident in your spending choices, or perhaps you've learned valuable lessons about managing your money.
On the other hand, there may have been missteps along the way, but that's to be expected. This eclipse is a chance to reflect and understand what still needs attention. Use this moment to focus on what can help you feel more secure about your financial future moving forward.
Virgo, you've recently put a lot of focus on making sure the right people are in your life, and this eclipse will put those relationships to the test. Whether they’re romantic, platonic, family, or work-related, now’s a good time to think about which connections you want to keep working on.
This eclipse will grant you some clarity regarding which relationships in your life are causing you stress and which just feel right, urging you to either let them go or dig deeper into them respectively. The choice is yours, and it all depends on what you truly want from the people in your life moving forward.
Is it time to refocus, Libra? Over the past few months, you may have strayed from your goals or routines, whether in work, health, or personal matters. On the other hand, you might have found new habits that better support you. Try to keep your work/life balance even and healthy.
This eclipse will highlight the outcome of what you've been working on, or not working on, in your daily life. Whether you've stayed consistent in your habits or let things slide a bit, this is an opportunity to get back on track. Use this eclipse to realign with the professional, personal, or wellness goals that matter most to you.
Give yourself the space to create something meaningful, Scorpio. You've been struggling to find time for yourself over the past few months, with responsibilities pulling you in all directions. You may have put your hobbies, creative projects, or other personal pursuits aside in order to deal with them. It's practical, sure, but it has left a hole in your heart.
As the eclipse nears, take a moment to reflect on what makes you happy and how you can keep nurturing that feeling. Whether it's returning to old passions or embracing new ones, find ways to keep that sense of joy alive in your life. You still need time for yourself, even when important things are happening.
Don't dwell on the past, Sagittarius. Over the year thus far, you've been deeply focused on your personal life, possibly spending more time with family or retreating inward to reflect and recharge. It's been all about you for a change.
As the eclipse season begins, you’ll likely feel ready to step out of this more private period. It's a chance to reengage with the world and let go of anything holding you back. You have a bad habit of focusing too much on the past, on things that have already happened, but now's the time to change that. Keep your sights set forward while appreciating every moment that passes.
There are no coincidences, Capricorn. Over the past few months, you've become more aware of your surroundings, really honing in on the present. Paying careful attention to every moment can reveal that the Universe often sends you messages through everyday happenings, messages you're now better at recognizing.
You might have seen signs or symbols in your daily life, such as certain patterns or unexpected encounters. As the eclipse nears, really trust your intuition. The answers you're seeking might be closer than you realize. Keep an open mind and stay alert to the small signs around you, they could hold important clues for your journey.
Aquarius, you have to commit to nourishing your soul over this full moon. Your views regarding identity have been changing a lot lately as you reevaluate how you present yourself to the world. What really makes you, you? What makes you unique? What do you value? How can you express those values and meet like-minded people?
This lunar cycle may have also encouraged you to think more deeply about your attachment to material things. As the eclipse approaches, you’ll start to see the results of these changes. Reflect on how your approach to your possessions has evolved, and be ready to let go of some things you no longer need.
Discovering who you are can be challenging, Pisces. You've gone through (or at least considered) a change in perspective regarding your appearance, attitude, or first impressions. You may have felt a strong burst of motivation regarding self-improvement and healing.
No matter how this change came about, you've already grown in many ways. By the time of the eclipse, you may notice a significant shift in how you present yourself or a change in your goals. It's important to appreciate your past self while making room for the new person you're becoming. Embrace both who you were and who you’re evolving into as you continue on your journey.
