We’re in the thick of eclipse season, folks, and for the next two weeks, nothing is as it seems, and stability is but a dream upon a dream. While all those with air in their lungs and blood in their veins will feel the effects of the lunar and solar eclipse, four signs in particular should be on the lookout for bottoming out.
An eclipse corridor refers to the period between a solar and a lunar eclipse. The eclipse corridor lasts two weeks – this fall the jaws of that mouth open from September 7 to September 21 – but we begin to feel the energy in the week before and after.
“This whole month is called eclipse season. Imagine a full moon or a new moon, then multiply the intensity by ten. Eclipse energy is intense; around eclipse corridors, significant events and new connections often begin and tend to stick, carrying long-term lessons,” Polina Arutiunian, an astrologer at spiritual guidance platform, Nebula, told The Post.
There is a fated, foreboding energy to eclipse season; it’s a bit of buckle up rather than resist the fray energy.
“Eclipses in general are considered an unfavourable energy,” astrologer Palmist Ankur told The Post.
“The period of eclipses inevitably brings about trouble for collectivities: accidents, disasters and sometimes even wars or the death of a king or other figurehead. These incidents happen throughout eclipse season.”
While eclipses tend to be hell on the collective, it’s not all fire and brimstone on the individual level, where the chaos can bring about sudden, but necessary change.
“If the eclipse is hitting some sensitive spot in your chart, then the result may not necessarily be bad: it could be the trigger that you need,” said Ankur.
The current eclipse cycle falls in the Virgo/Pisces axis, so those with strong Virgo or Pisces placements may feel this period more intensely than others.

Gemini folk will see eclipse season hit their tenth house of career and social standing and their fourth house of home.
“The main theme for Gemini is to release the past and your comfort zone and seize growth opportunities – even if that means changing your job, team, or even where you live. Events in this corridor can show Gemini the importance of moving forward, making long-term plans and thinking ten steps ahead. Don’t be afraid of new responsibilities or duties – they can lead to lasting results,” shared Arutiunian.
Virgos will experience the lunar eclipse in their seventh house of trusted partnerships.
“Events around the eclipse can show a new path in relationships. You may meet new people, enter new relationships, or reach a new status in a current relationship, and these events can clarify what you really want. In this eclipse cycle, your environment and partners act as a mirror, reflecting your own traits and behavior,” said Arutiunian.
She urges Virgos who are unhappy in their current relationships to consider how they can adjust their own behavior to align with what they want out of a partnership.
“Some Virgos may meet pivotal people who catalyze growth – say yes to invitations and new connections.”
For Sagittarius folk, the eclipse corridor draws attention to their fourth house of home and foundational patterning and invites them to emphasize their boundaries, limits and non-negotiables.
“This energy can bring insights or opportunities to work through old patterns, improve relationships with loved ones, find a new place to live, or resolve home and real-estate matters. This period can emphasize the importance of close relationships, family, home and your inner well-being. This eclipse invites you to release social expectations that aren’t truly yours; if something doesn’t feel aligned, don’t be afraid to say no,” shared Arutiunian.
For Pisces, the eclipse corridor amplifies their first house of initiatives, independence and selfhood.
“This eclipse cycle pushes you to work on yourself – personal growth, initiative, independence, or physical renewal. The South Node is in your 7th house of partnerships, so this period can reveal people around you who hold you back,” said Arutiunian.
She advises the people of the fish to be aware and wary of naysayers or those who downplay their accomplishments.
“Don’t be afraid to say goodbye to toxic people. This period can also affect relationships: issues with a partner may highlight areas where you lack perseverance or determination – the work is to learn to defend your interests. Many Pisces may receive new insights about personal projects and work – don’t miss the chance to start something bold that could lead to greatness.”
