the full moon in pisces occurs on september 12th at 2:27am pacific time, marking the midway point of the current lunar cycle we are in that began on august 28th with the very potent and powerful new moon in virgo. the full moon is a good time to check in about where we are at in relation to what we began at the last new moon. are we on track or are we slacking? full moons are fruition points- they can bring climaxes or endings depending on how we’ve been working with the lunar energy up till now.
in pisces this full moon is highlighting both the light and shadow of the last sign of the zodiac. idealism, compassion, selflessness and surrender, as well as delusion, denial, avoidance and escapism. the virgo counterpoint is all about attention to detail, discernment, organization and earthy groundedness, as well as perfectionism, criticalness and anal-retentiveness. where are we in our virgo/pisces balance? do we fall too far on either side of the spectrum?
the sun/moon opposition, which is what happens at every full moon, is square to the lunar nodes in sagittarius and gemini (north and south node respectively). whatever arises at this full moon has evolutionary ties and consequences. there can be a pull back to old karmic patterns and paradigms- but an equally compelling push towards evolution, growth and liberation. the thing is the old is what is easier to do and deal with, the new takes courage and fearlessness to go where we have never gone before. jupiter rules the north node in sagittarius and forms a grand earth trine with mercury, now invirgo, and pluto. this bodes well for being able to transform and evolve old mental patterns that keep us stuck in the past. there is a crisis point that is presented to us- one in which we can choose the high road or the low road. what will you choose?
the full moon is trine mars in cancer- and if you can recall last month we went through a lot of intensity with mars in cancer as he trigger the cardinal t-square (he squared uranus, opposed pluto and then squared saturn). now as he trines the full moon we have access to our will, drive and assertiveness in a new empowered way- particularly if we did the work he demanded of us in the last month or so. if there is any unexpressed emotion we need to find healthy outlets and ways to channel it. repressing it does not work- it makes things get stopped up and then an explosion will happen later on down the line. find ways to work with this energy NOW. do not procrastinate!
the moon in pisces is quincunx saturn in libra. there is tension and a need for adjustment between the tendency to wear rose colored glasses and only see the good and the need to have a healthy does of reality and discernment inrelationships. we need to see the Light AND the shadow in equal measure. any tendency to gloss over reality or avoid it can get exacerbated right now and will pull us back to old karmic patterns and situations that hopefully we are sick of by now and are ready to change. saturn is harmoniously aspecting the sun in virgo so if we can find ways to discipline ourselves, commit to our path and see things through we can access the wisdom of saturn and everything and everyone inour life can benefit.
the ruling planet of this full moon is neptune who is currently retrograde and doing his last dance in aquarius before he moves back into pisces and stays there for the next 14 years. neptune is conjunct chiron who is pisces- fusing spirituality with healing, mysticism with awareness. of course if we are not tapping into that virgoan discernment and earthy practicality that the new moon in virgo gave us then we can experience neptune/chiron as a fusing of delusions and wounding, escapsim and pain. of course we have a choice in the matter.
neptune, the ruler of the full moon, is still within orb to an opposition to merucry in virgo, the ruler of the sun and the newmoon that started this current lunar cycle. since chiron is conjunct neptune, he is also opposite mercury. the polarization of spirituality and thinking, healing and the mind is highlighted. conversation and communication can be both healing AND wounding. something new is trying to penetrate the mind but it requires that we see through the veil of our own illusions, delusions, suffering and pain. a new awareness wants to manifest- if we can let it through.
this full moon is quite dynamic, and on the heels of the recent new moon that was one of the best in a long time- we are still working what that lunar energy. use this full moon as a checkpoint. what did you intend at the new moon on august 28th and where are you at right now? are you on track? did you get lost along the way? are you using your virgoan discernment to see reality as it is and make the necessary self-adjustments? or are you swimming in piscean waters of surrender and avoidance? this full moon will bring things to Light- so make sure you are looking and seeing as well as feeling. the next two weeks close the recent lunar cycle and we want to be sure we tie up all the lose ends in satisfactory virgo fashion. what is begun and seen through right now has staying power. choose what you want to see stay in your life and what you want to see go- and get to it!
enjoy…
