Beyond the visual spectacle, eclipses represent portals of closure and rebirthideal for reflecting, letting go of what we no longer need, opening ourselves to new opportunities, thinking about our future and what we think about. Coinciding with the arrival of autumn equinoxthis event becomes even more intense and with more energy, inviting us to balance our emotions and sow many manifestations (intentions) for the coming months.

What is a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is placed between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on our planet and obscuring, partially or completely, sunlight. This phenomenon, which has fascinated ancient civilizations for centuries, has always been surrounded by symbolism. While science describes it as an astronomical event, in the spiritual realm it is considered a powerful moment of transformation, introspection and closing of cycles.
Solar eclipses are often associated with necessary endings and unexpected beginnings. They are a kind of “energy portal” that invites us to rethink what no longer serves our lives and make room for the new.
When and where can I see the September 2025 eclipse?
The next September 21, 2025 We will witness the last solar eclipse of the year. It is a partial solar eclipse which will reach up to 86% darkening. The phenomenon will begin at 5:29 p.m. in the Pacific Ocean, will reach its greatest splendor at 7:41 p.m. over the Antarctic Ocean, and will end at approximately 9:53 p.m.
Although It will not be visible from Mexico or much of Latin Americait can be seen in regions such as New Zealand, Australia and Antarctica.
Its proximity to september equinoxwhich occurs a day later, makes it an even more special phenomenon, as it marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere and spring in the south, stages of balance, rebirth and transformation.

Rituals to take advantage of the eclipse September 21
Even if you don’t see it directly in the sky, the energy of the eclipse can be felt and worked from any corner of the planet. Here are some simple and powerful rituals to channel its strength:
Energy cleansing with fire or incense
Turn on one white candle or sandalwood incense. As you do, visualize what your blocks, fears, or emotional burdens look like that you no longer want to carry with you.
Write and drop
Take a sheet and write down everything you want to leave behind: fears, habits, thoughts, relationships or situations that do not allow you to move forward or think about your future. Then burn the paper in a safe place as a symbol of liberation.
Meditation
During the eclipse, take a few minutes to meditate in silence. Imagine that a golden light from the sun enters you and that the Moon, when it intervenes, cleanses everything you don’t need. When you finish, thank you.
Use your crystals and quartz
Place quartz like amethyst and a white quartz close to you. These crystals help amplify protective energy in your favor.
water ritual
Fill a glass or bowl with water and leave it near a window while the eclipse occurs. This water is charged with the energy of the phenomenon and you can use it later to clean your hands, your face or to water your plants, symbolizing a new beginning.
