The Full moon in Pisces is exact on September 10th at 2:59 am PDT (5:59 am EDT) this Saturday. The full moon in Pisces is at 17 degrees 41 minutes. The moon recently was square with Mars in Gemini (the last aspect) which translates light (Mars/Gemini) now separating as it moves to this full moon opposite the Sun in Virgo and then applies to a conjunction with Neptune at 24 degrees. Hard angles (squares) make for challenges for us all to navigate. From communication breakdowns or confusion, perhaps feeling overwhelmed with a lot of disruption or interruption in the daily routines. It can be accidents too (anything with travel). It may even be a simple re-direction on a planned agenda. It can be a major meeting is canceled and may or may not be rebooked. A pause on the path that a group or an individual was headed. Mercury retrograde sets up the first pause. The eclipse season and Mars retrograde in late October will be the next step of re-evaluation and redirection. Use a pencil if you have a physical day planner for the next few months.
As I finish the edits on this post I am reading the news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed, truly an epic day in history for our friends in the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in their history, so it really is a unique historical day. Even though I live in the United States I know our countries have long been allies and her passing will be mourned around the world. Interestingly, I was just thinking about her a few days ago relative to the upcoming eclipses in October as I recalled her chart for an example.
Mercury is stationing at this full moon intensifying perceptions. If you have planets around 5-10 degrees Libra (or the cardinal signs Aries/Cancer/Libra/Capricorn) you’ll experience Mercury’s stationing with greater intensity. Feedback is really important at this Mercury stationing.
Mercury opposes Jupiter in Aries within about a 3-degree orb. This opposition can set up separations based on a Jupiter figure making an abrupt decision that impacts another, and there is often a breakdown in communication or there was lack of understanding. It may feel like an authority figure that is not equipped to listen or even a willingness to listen, it is a broken frame for quality communication. Only in the review will this perhaps be remedied.
There is a trine of earth energy between the Sun in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn, and Uranus in Taurus. Venus in Virgo is part of this trine in the last two weeks of September. Uranus in Taurus is also conjunct within 2 degrees of the North Node. There is an opportunity to energize your intentions, grounding and bringing your dreams into your reality. It is an opening with energy that is mostly available through the outer planets of change (Uranus) and transformation (Pluto).
The challenge is realizing that you as an individual may have experiences with the outer planets as quite personal and life-changing, but outer planets are transpersonal, you cannot engage your will exactly in whatever thing to change something relative to the outer planets. It is perhaps better to align with the understanding that you “signed up” as a soul for living in this time and place. You are engaging with everything in life for your own unique evolutionary intentions, and you do this with other souls who also have their own evolutionary intentions. Fascinating, right!?
When you understand this, it is easier to acknowledge the uniqueness of your life and also to have eyes of wonder again, as you will see how others and their work-in-progress life pieces fit with yours. For this Pisces Full Moon, I encourage you to feel and remember your childlike wonder and how the mysterious cosmos offers us all such a stage for evolving our consciousness, the remembering of our divinity.
One challenge is Mars squares (widely) this full moon, so there is a chance for disruption or conflict to navigate, but that should not deter you from striving toward your dreams, your vision for a life you wish to live. Another reminder for us all that our response is often the most important thing for what flows from any experience.
The second challenge is Saturn in Aquarius at 20 degrees is square within 2 degrees with Uranus and the North Node in Taurus, and square the South Node in Scorpio. Saturn will present as our committed discipline to some idea or an authority figure (bigger than ourselves such as a group project towards something or group consciousness), and especially so connected with other humans in a community. Saturn gives a structure and way for whatever idea so it has a structure on this 3D dimension plane, it could not be otherwise. Your discipline and your focus create. Often though we do not realize how strong ideas (conditioning and habits) are from our past that present problems for us to overcome, to break through, to realize something new for us. Uranus does offer us a breakthrough of energy, it is the primary outer planet that brings in change almost instantaneously – whereas Neptune and Pluto have a quality of time in how we experience the change of something fading out or dissolving or wipe out and the longer process Pluto presents that takes away the past and we are forever changed, but there is slow transformation with Pluto mostly as it is working more from deeper wells of our being. I find it fascinating that Pisces, a sign of imagination, a mutable water sign, the culmination of the signs is the archetype of where we have the zone that is the cauldron of our creativity.
Being “in the zone” is where we are in flow, where what we create feels tapped in from our divine channel, the frequency divinely set just for us. Do you know how to be in your zone? This Pisces full moon is good for finding a place where we are creating something we enjoy with great passion, and when creating the notion of time just evaporates. Most of us need to be well rested, for the focus that unfolds while in the zone, and we also need our simple nutrition needs met with fuel for our bodies. Sometimes our ability to be in the zone also has a lot (hello, moms I see you) to do with what we are responsible for and our environment. We need to establish hard and sound boundaries to create the space that opens us to our presence in the zone.
Be prepared. (Virgo) Be organized. (Virgo) Make a plan (Virgo). And fewer interruptions for your creativity in the zone will occur. Pisces full immersion often (not always) requires plenty of Virgo for the fullest experience.
At this full moon know that your unique life is precious and take the courage to move towards your dreams. Your dreams are a part of the world we all live in, and in pursuing your dreams you will come to know yourself and awaken to your soul and the evolutionary path will come into view, sometimes we come to it through astrology or the tarot, sometimes through the kindness of a stranger, sometimes through the losses that force us to reorganize our lives and rebuild wherever we are. The promise I see from the beingness of Pisces is, we are so much more than our earthly minds know. It takes something outside of time, from beyond the physical plane that we experience that touches us so deeply and profoundly that we realize the magnitude of the mysterious. I think that is simply sublime. Namaste. Bless this moment.
