The Blood Moon Eclipse: Clearing the Old to Become Who You Are Meant to Be

Anne Van de Water Season 1 Episode 4

On September 7th, we step into a powerful cosmic gateway: a total lunar eclipse and Blood Moon in Pisces.

This isn’t just an astronomical event. It’s an energetic initiation. The eclipse invites you to release old patterns, dissolve outdated identities, and clear the debris of what no longer serves you so that you can step into deeper alignment with your true self.

In this episode, I share:

  • What makes this Pisces Blood Moon eclipse so significant
  • How to work with the energy rather than resist it
  • Why this eclipse corridor between now and the upcoming partial solar eclipse on September 21 is a once-in-a-year opportunity to release and realign
  • Guided prompts and practices to help you clear, reset, and prepare for what’s next

If you’ve been feeling the stirrings of change, endings, and new beginnings, this episode will guide you in navigating this threshold with clarity, trust, and grace.

Key Themes

  • Understanding the Pisces Blood Moon Eclipse and its deeper meaning
  • Working with this energy as a cosmic clean-out rather than resisting it
  • Using this period for emotional clearing, boundary-setting, and soul realignment
  • How this eclipse prepares you for quantum leaps and new creations during the solar eclipse on September 21
  • Journaling prompts and integration practices to support your transformation

Takeaways

  • Eclipses are accelerators of evolution. What is dissolving is making way for what’s truly meant for you.
  • You’re being invited to release outdated patterns, roles, and attachments that no longer serve your highest path.
  • Now is the time to pause, reflect, and trust the deeper intelligence at work.
  • What clears now creates space for aligned action and luminous leadership in the coming weeks.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome back, my friends, to the True Self Mastery Podcast. I am Anne Vandywater, your guide on this sacred path. of remembering who you truly are and becoming all that you are meant to be. Today's episode is called the Blood Moon Eclipse, clearing the old to becoming who you are meant to be. Tomorrow, September 7th, 2025, we enter a portal of transformation unlike any other, a total lunar eclipse and a blood full moon in Pisces. These are rare moments when the cosmos hands us a mirror showing us what no longer belongs in our story and inviting us to step into deeper alignment with our truth. This isn't just about the moon. This is about you. It's about your patterns, your gifts, your calling and your sacred becoming. So today we're going to explore what this eclipse means for you, how to work with its energy rather than against it, and why this moment is one of the most powerful invitations of the year to release, recalibrate and realign with your true self. Tomorrow's eclipse is exactly around 11 11 a.m pacific standard time this is a total lunar eclipse meaning that the earth moves directly between the sun and the moon casting its shadow fully across the moon's surface during totality the moon will take on a deep red hue earning its name the blood moon while you may not see it directly in the united states states, which is where I am recording this podcast, the energy of the eclipse is felt everywhere. Think of it as a cosmic reset button. Eclipses are accelerators, gateways, quantum leaps. Where the full moon usually illuminates what's been hidden, a lunar eclipse does so with immense intensity, revealing truths you can no longer ignore. and dissolving illusions you've been carrying this isn't just about endings it's about liberation This eclipse is happening in Pisces, the sign of intuition, compassion, surrender, spiritual awakening, and illumination, enlightenment. Pisces invites us to soften, to dissolve old identities and to open to higher states of consciousness. But here's the thing. Eclipses don't always feel soft. They can feel like the ground shifting beneath your feet. The two weeks between tomorrow's lunar eclipse and the upcoming partial solar eclipse on September 21st form what's known as an eclipse corridor, or I like to call it an eclipse portal. It's a window of heightened intensity. During this time, you may feel emotional waves rising and falling like tides, sudden insights or intuitive downloads, old attachments or beliefs crumbling, relationships shifting, patterns breaking, foundations cracking. It can be a little confusing. It can be a little disorienting, but it's also deeply freeing. If you know who you are and you know why you're here and you know what matters most. For those of you who are naturally gifted, multi-passionate, highly sensitive, and tuned into unseen realms, this period may feel even more potent. You sense the invisible currents beneath the surface. You feel what others miss. That sensitivity is a gift And this eclipse amplifies it. I want you to imagine this eclipse energy as a flash flood. a powerful force rushing through your inner landscape, sweeping away dead wood, old debris and outdated identities. For those of us who went through or who were deeply impacted by the Montecito debris flow, Montecito mudslide, That's what this energy is like. It is a huge internal clearing of anything that is not rooted, grounded, stable, steady, and real and true in your life. And I really think it's all part of this huge shift that we're going through, that we talk a lot about in the human design community. We're moving into the era of the individual. And there is definitely a big clearing that's going on of any identities, any stories, any ways of being, any relationships with people, places, and things that are not aligned with your true authentic identity. And so this eclipse is a huge part of this huge shift that we're going through. Remember, this isn't happening to you. It's happening for you. The old roles, roles that you've outgrown, the identities you've tried to maintain, the patterns that once kept you safe, but now hold you back. This is the moment to let them go. And I'm going to put this out there. that when we don't let them go, sometimes life creates circumstances in which we have to let them go. So this is really about surrender to alignment. So ask yourself, where are you clinging to something that no longer serves you? Where have you been living by someone else's rules, expectations, or definitions? What would open up for you if you allowed the flood waters to clear away all of the not true self energy? Remember, your true self isn't fragile. It isn't going to go anywhere. What dissolves now is everything blocking your essence from shining fully. So as you may or may not know, one of the metaphors that I work with is what I call the tree of true self-mastery. When my childhood home was hit by by the Montecito mudslide. One thing that survived and is still there standing so strong is this thousand-year-old oak tree that is actually the elder to an entire forest of oak trees. And it was under six feet of mud. But its roots were so deep that it survived. And oak trees breathe through their bark. And so we had to pull all of the mud. We had to dig all of the mud away from the bark and get little chisels and chisel the mud out from the bark so that it could breathe. And it is... One of my core metaphors for times like these, when there's definitely sweeping energy, that if you are rooted and grounded in your purpose, in your values, in your message, in your vision, that you can go through some really big floods and mudslides and life, some really big clearings, and you will come out stronger, more rooted, grounded, stable, and steady. So this is the time to double down on your deep, deep connection to your true eternal self. Remember again, your true self isn't fragile. Your true self is eternal. And the only thing that is clearing now is everything that is blocking your true self from Full fruition. Eclipses are powerful teachers, but their guidance comes when we pause, listen, and allow. This isn't the moment to force, to push, or to manifest your desires into being. That will come with the solar eclipse on September 21st. For now, here are ways to align with tomorrow's energies. on September 7th, 2025. Create space for stillness. Sit with your journal. Breathe. Ask what's ready to be released and let your higher self speak through you. Be willing to witness. Emotions may rise. Memories may surface. And instead of resisting them, observe them like clouds passing through your sky. Honor your body. Honor your energy. Rest. Hydrate. Spend time in nature if you can. But if you are in a place in the world where the eclipse is at full throttle, then the shamans, the wise tribal elders, the spiritual masters suggest that you're not out looking directly at it because the energy is so potent. Let your nervous system soften so you can integrate these changes. Strengthen your boundaries. I'm going to say that one again. Strengthen your boundaries. This is a profound time to say no to what drains you and yes to what nourishes you. Protect your energy fiercely. So in human design, that means love yourself, love your design, follow your strategy, and trust your authority. Trust yourself. Lean into trust. Even when things feel uncertain, trust the deeper intelligence at work. Trust your intuition, your own unique authority. Trust your path. This eclipse is more than an astrological event. It's an initiation. It's inviting you to return home to your authentic self, to live from your gifts, to express your natural genius without apology or self-doubt. You are here to become what you are meant to be. And this is the heartbeat of the true self mastery path, clearing away the old stories, aligning with your authentic purpose, transforming your energy and consciously creating a life and your leadership and a legacy that feel like an extension of your soul. If you've been sensing that you're on the brink of something more, more freedom, more fulfillment, more truth. This eclipse is the cosmic green light.
