Blood Moon in September 2025: what to expect from the fateful full moon in Aquarius
In early September, Earth's inhabitants will be able to observe a rare astronomical event — a total lunar eclipse coinciding with the full moon. This phenomenon is popularly called the Corn Moon, in honor of the ancient traditions of the Native American peoples, for whom this period marked the end of the corn harvest. On the night of the eclipse, the Moon, located in the constellation Aquarius, will turn deep shades of red for several hours, which will give it an unusual, mystical appearance. From the point of view of astrology, this event is the starting point for global changes, emotional awakening and the unfolding of creative potential. The energy of the full moon is aimed at renewal, freedom and innovation, helps to reconsider life goals and inspires new beginnings. For more information about the timing and features of this unique astronomical phenomenon, see the Izvestia article.
Where and when will you see the lunar eclipse on September 7
Every month, the Moon goes through several phases, each of which is accompanied not only by visual changes, but also by energetic shifts.
In September 2025, the lunar periods will change according to the following schedule:
— The waxing Moon (September 1-6);
— Full moon and total lunar eclipse (September 7);
— Waning Moon (September 8-20);
— new moon (September 21);
— a new waxing Moon (September 22-30).
The nearest full moon will fall on the night of September 6-7. The peak will occur on Sunday, September 7, at 21:09 Moscow time (18:09 GMT). At this moment, the Earth's satellite will reach its maximum illumination in the constellation Aquarius. It will be possible to observe the Moon with the naked eye, it will look especially impressive at the time of sunrise and sunset — then its disk will visually appear larger and acquire a reddish hue.
Traditionally, the September full moon is called the Corn Moon, a name that has been cemented by the indigenous peoples of North America. For example, the Abenaki Indians called this lunar cycle the Moon of Ripe Corn, and the Zuni tribe called it the "Moon of the Creator of Corn," associating time with the completion of an important agricultural stage and gratitude for a bountiful harvest.
The main uniqueness of this full moon is its coincidence with a total lunar eclipse, when the moon turns an unusual red-orange color. Due to this phenomenon, astronomers call it the Blood Moon. The eclipse will enhance the energy effect, which will make the astronomical event vivid and memorable.
Why does the Moon turn "bloody"
The red color during a total lunar eclipse is caused by optical and physical processes in the Earth's atmosphere. The earth completely obscures the direct sunlight falling on the moon. However, the sun's rays, passing through the atmosphere, are refracted and scattered — the long-wavelength shades of red and orange pass further than the rest and illuminate the Earth's satellite from inside the "earth's cone of shadow." This effect is known as the "Rayleigh effect".
The shade of the color depends on the state of the earth's atmosphere: the concentration of dust, aerosols and volcanic ash enhances the color saturation. So, after major volcanic eruptions or dust storms, the Moon can become darker and more saturated, and sometimes acquire maroon, bronze and even crimson tones.
On September 7, 2025, the total eclipse will last from 18:28 to 23:55 Moscow time. The maximum phase with the most pronounced red color will be around 21:12. This spectacle will be clearly visible in Russia, most of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Total lunar eclipse in September 2025: how it will affect humans
The full moon is considered the most powerful phase of the Moon, when its influence is maximally reflected in the biorhythms and emotional state of a person. The coincidence with a total lunar eclipse further enhances this effect, which leads to increased sensitivity.
During this period, many may feel increased anxiety, outbursts of irritation, increased anxiety and emotional instability. Mood swings, increased conflict situations and exacerbation of chronic diseases are possible. It is important to pay attention to rest and taking care of yourself, avoiding unnecessary stress and overwork.
On the other hand, astrologers note that this period is favorable for creative inspiration, intuitive insights and rethinking of life goals. Aquarius energy helps to get rid of outdated habits and attitudes, stimulates the desire for renewal and out-of-the-box thinking.
Recommended practices include meditation, creative pursuits, spiritual practices, and planning new projects after the full moon period. However, it is better to take the first steps after the end of the energy "eclipse corridor" to minimize risks.
What not to do during the full moon on September 7th
On the day of the full moon, astrologers advise you to refrain from important beginnings and serious decisions — changing jobs, signing contracts, making major purchases or moving. The increased emotional instability and productive energy of the Moon increase the likelihood of mistakes and rash actions.
It is undesirable to aggravate conflict situations, start disputes or sort things out. It is also better to limit physical and psychological stress by taking time to recover and calm down.
According to popular beliefs, it is not recommended to cut your hair and nails at this time, so as not to "drain" your vitality. No need to go outside at night unnecessarily to avoid energy exhaustion and possible troubles. The best investment of energy is in spiritual and creative practices, cleaning the space from negativity, meditation and setting intentions.
Of particular importance to this full moon is the beginning of the so—called eclipse corridor, a period of time that covers the consecutive total lunar eclipse on September 7 and the subsequent solar eclipse on September 21, 2025. This corridor is about two weeks of high energy activity and drastic changes.
In astrology, the eclipse corridor is considered a phase when fateful events become especially likely, and personal and collective energy is greatly activated. At this time, unexpected circumstances may appear, transformation processes may accelerate, and internal conflicts may intensify. The boundaries between the past and the future are becoming more blurred, which gives a chance to radically change the course of life, but requires maximum care and awareness.
The energy of eclipses helps to cleanse from unnecessary things and allows you to let go of old fears, patterns and limiting beliefs. However, this is always a difficult process that requires patience and self-care.
