Overview

• The total lunar eclipse on September 7–8 turns the full moon a coppery red and favors viewers across Asia, Africa, Australia and parts of Europe, with most of the United States out of view.
• The moon appears red because Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light and refracts longer red wavelengths into Earth’s shadow.
• Several outlets publish differing local times for totality, so readers are advised to confirm exact viewing schedules with authoritative astronomical sources or official livestreams.
• Astrology coverage frames the Pisces eclipse as accelerating endings and insights in relationships and personal purpose, with mutable signs such as Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces highlighted.
• Practices recommended by astrologers include journaling dreams, meditation and detoxing, alongside cautions that some may face breakups, contract changes or career shifts.
