September Skies
September Skies: A Celestial Birthday Bash in 2025
By Your Celestial Guide, Rita
Hello, stargazers and dream-home seekers! As September dawns, the skies are throwing a cosmic party, and since it’s my birthday month, I’m diving into the celestial magic to celebrate! This September 2025, we’re gifted with a trifecta of sky events—plus a rare daytime meteor shower—that make this month feel like a personal gift from the universe. From a crimson Blood Moon to the autumn equinox, let’s explore these wonders and why they’re worth stepping outside for. Grab a blanket, find a cozy spot, and join me for a 4-minute cosmic journey!
September 7: The Blood Moon’s Crimson Glow
Kicking off the month, we’re treated to a total lunar eclipse on September 7—the longest since 2022, with 28 minutes of the Moon bathed in a haunting copper-red hue. This “Blood Moon” happens when Earth slips between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow that tints the lunar surface with refracted sunlight. Visible across parts of North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia (check local times in Central Florida!), it’s a breathtaking sight. No special gear needed—just head to an open spot away from city lights, perhaps near Lake Okeechobee, and watch the Moon transform. As a real estate pro, I love how this event reminds us to pause and appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. As one with a bit of a gothic soul, the Blood Moon’s eerie glow feels like a whispered tale from the cosmos, echoing the timeless allure of Gothic Dust Diaries.
September 21: Partial Solar Eclipse’s Subtle Dance
On September 21, the Moon takes a bite out of the Sun during a partial solar eclipse, visible across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Unfortunately, North America, including Central Florida, won’t see this one, but it’s still a global moment to celebrate. The Moon will partially cover the Sun, creating a crescent of light that’s a humbling reminder of our place in the cosmos. If you’re traveling or have friends abroad, remind them to use certified eclipse glasses for safe viewing. For us locals, it’s a chance to reflect on life’s cycles—much like finding the perfect home after a long search. Share your eclipse stories with me; I’d love to hear them!
September 22: Autumn Equinox, A Balance of Light
September 22 marks the autumn equinox, when day and night are nearly equal, ushering in fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Here in Central Florida, the cooling breeze and golden sunsets over the citrus groves create a perfect backdrop for this shift. The equinox is a moment of balance, a time to set intentions—perhaps for a new chapter in your Florida life, whether it’s a cozy townhouse or a fresh start. As someone who’s guided clients from New Jersey to Oregon to Florida, I see this as a metaphor for finding harmony in new beginnings. Celebrate with a sunset stroll along a local lake and soak in the equinox’s magic.
September 27: Daytime Meteor Shower Surprise
Closing out the month, September 27 brings a rare daytime meteor shower, the Sextantids. While trickier to spot since it peaks during daylight, early risers or dusk-watchers in Central Florida might catch a few bright streaks if conditions are right. Head to a quiet spot like Lake Kissimmee State Park, away from urban glow, and keep your eyes peeled just before dawn or after sunset. Meteors remind me of the fleeting opportunities in real estate or in life in general. This event is a cosmic cherry on top of a spectacular month.
Why It Matters (and How to Celebrate)
These sky events aren’t just astronomical—they’re a chance to connect with the world around us. As a real estate agent who’s navigated markets from New Jersey to Oregon to Central Florida, I know the value of pausing to appreciate life’s wonders, whether it’s a Blood Moon or a new home’s keys. To catch these events, find a dark, open spot, use eclipse glasses for solar events (even if you’re cheering from afar), and snap photos to share on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ritakrealtor). Let’s celebrate my September birthday by looking up and dreaming big—whether for a starry night or your next property adventure. Here’s to September’s skies and the homes we build beneath them!
