Title: Sovereign Blood Moon
Read time 5-10 minutes.
How do you balance sovereignty with connection? How do you lead without carrying the weight of everyone else's stories?
On September 7–8, the Moon will slip into Earth’s shadow and rise as a crimson orb — the second Total Lunar Eclipse of 2025.
Visible across Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and even Alaska and Hawaii, this “Blood Moon” won’t be seen by most of us in the continental U.S.
But here is an energetic fact: you don’t have to see it to feel it. An eclipse is like the hum of a hive — its vibration moves through every chamber, even if you aren’t looking directly at it.
The Astrology: Leo ↔ Aquarius
This eclipse falls at 15° Aquarius (Moon) opposite 15° Leo (Sun).
Aquarius Moon: the collective, the stories we hold, the memory of the hive.
Leo Sun: the sovereign self, creativity, courage, and leadership.
Together, they ask: Where am I performing for approval? Where am I silencing my truth to stay in the swarm?
Eclipses close chapters and reset patterns. This one buzzes with the tension between individual sovereignty and collective belonging.
The Hive Within You
Even if you can’t see the eclipse, you might feel:
Sudden fatigue or buzzing thoughts
Emotional waves rising from nowhere
Old stories replaying, asking to be released
A pull between “doing more” and “needing rest”
Think of your astrological layer as a hive. Each house in your chart is a chamber. For me, this eclipse hums between my astrological 6th House (daily rhythm, service) and my 12th House (rest, retreat, subconscious). It’s asking me to refine the balance between what I give to the world and what I keep sacred for myself.
For you, it might show up in relationships, career, family, or creativity — depending on where Leo and Aquarius fall in your chart.
A Gentle Introduction to Human Design
You have probably heard a lot about astrology — sun signs (like Libra, Gemini, Taurus), rising and moon signs, and the language of planets, patterns, and cosmic possibility.
However, there’s another system I’ve been exploring for a while: Human Design—and I feel this is as good a time as any to begin incorporating it into my public practices.
In short, Human Design combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics, bringing them together to create a unique energetic blueprint of how your soul is designed to navigate the world.
Where astrology looks to the sky, Human Design listens to your circuitry — sort of the inner network of how you are wired to interact with others and your environment, everything from how you make decisions, rest, lead, work, and express your truth.
It isn’t about boxing you into another framework — it’s about returning you to your natural rhythm that you were always meant to follow.
It’s not the easiest system to learn, and I’m still absorbing the content myself. But I can already say: it’s deep, rich, and eerily accurate. It is similar to astrology, meaning you don’t have to understand every piece to start feeling its truth.
You will hear me reference “gates” and “channels” from time to time, which are simply ways of exploring the energetic themes flowing through you at a soul level. More on that soon- I promise.
For now, here’s the takeaway: Human Design is another key in the sovereignty toolkit. Not a rulebook — but a resonance that I describe as soul remembrance.
Adding the Human Design Layer to this Eclipse
In Human Design, this eclipse lights up Gate 7 (Leadership) and Gate 13 (The Listener).
Gate 7 asks: How do you lead?
Gate 13 asks: What stories are you carrying? Which ones still serve you, and which are weighing you down?
You may notice others bringing their pasts to you, hoping you’ll hold their stories. Or you may feel called to lead more visibly. The invitation here is gentle: Lead by embodying truth, not by force. Listen without taking on every burden.
Going Deeper
If you're feeling the hum of this eclipse and wondering how it threads through your Astrology or Human Design chart, I now offer personal Astro-Design Readings that combine the two. It is hard for me to explore one without referencing the other, so I am leaning into the flow of providing the best content for those who work with me.
Together, we will explore how planetary transitions influence your rhythm, your stories, and your next aligned chapter. If you are ready to step out of old cycles and into a new rhythm and you crave support that is soulful, practical, and transformative — this work is for you.
Reflection of the Full Blood Moon
As this red Moon rises — whether you see it or not — pause to listen to your own hive.
What chambers are buzzing?
Which stories are ready to be released?
Where are you being asked to shine differently?
Because sometimes, the most powerful eclipses aren’t the ones in the night sky, but the ones we feel shifting within.
Until next time, let your inner compass guide you. 🧭
