Alright moon lovers, stargazers and cosmic fans – mark your calendars because on 7th September 2025, we’re getting treated to a Blood Moon. That’s right. A full-on, glowing red, slightly eerie, totally mesmerising lunar eclipse that’ll have the night sky looking like something straight out of a fantasy novel.
But don’t worry, there’s no doom and gloom here. It’s not the end of the world, it’s just a celestial show with a bit of spiritual spice. So, let’s dive into what it is, when to catch it and how you can tap into its juicy energy with a few spiritual goodies along the way.
First things first – what is a Blood Moon?
A Blood Moon happens during a total lunar eclipse, when the Earth slips right between the Sun and the Moon. Instead of going totally dark, the Moon picks up a reddish tint thanks to sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere. Think of it as nature’s moody Instagram filter.
This one’s extra special too, because it’s happening just after moonrise in the UK. So if the weather plays nice, we’ll get to see it creeping over the horizon, already bathed in that deep red glow.
When to watch in the UK
Date: Sunday, 7th September 2025
Best time: From about 6:30pm GMT, as the Moon rises already in eclipse
Where to look: East, low on the horizon
Top tip: Head somewhere with a clear view of the eastern sky. Hills, parks or beaches are your best bet. Bring snacks and maybe a blanket.
Why’s everyone so hyped about this one?
Aside from being visually stunning, Blood Moons are seen as spiritually powerful. They tend to stir up big emotions, help us let go of old baggage and invite transformation. Basically, it’s the lunar version of a good spring clean for your soul.
And as this eclipse is happening during Pitru Paksha (a sacred time in Hindu tradition for honouring ancestors), the vibes are even more reflective and spiritual. Whether you’re into astrology, energy work or just love a good full moon moment, this is one to sit with.

How to work with the energy
Don’t stress about doing anything too “out there”. Just slowing down, watching the Moon rise and checking in with yourself can be powerful enough. But if you fancy doing a bit more, here are a few ideas:
- Journal it out: What are you ready to let go of? What needs a fresh start?
- Light a candle: Set an intention or offer a little gratitude.
- Sit in stillness: Watch the Moon and simply be.
Blood Moons can feel intense so if emotions come up – let them. Cry it out, laugh it off or dance it through. The key is not to bottle it up.
Final thoughts
The 2025 Blood Moon is a beautiful excuse to step outside, look up and reconnect with yourself, with nature or with the mystery of it all. Whether you’re meditating with crystals, lighting incense or just enjoying the view with a cuppa, there’s no wrong way to experience it.
So grab your blanket, your favourite spiritual bits (or your best mates), and get ready for a magical night under the stars.
