🌕 Full Moon in Pisces 🌕

September begins with a Full Moon in Pisces on September 1st, 2020 at 10:22pm PDT. This will occur at 10 degrees so look at your birth chart for clarity on where this happens for you on a personal level. (Birth charts can be accessed for free at Astro.com or you can set up a Birth Chart Astrology Reading with me here to dive deeper.)

Pisces is the mutable water sign, with its archetype The Fish: changing, flexible, fluid. Water signs are connected to our emotions, and with the emotion-ruling Moon in Pisces, our emotions are amplified. The Moon Mood at this time will feel sensitive, dreamy, and imaginative, with an opportunity for great healing if you use the energies wisely.

Aspects:

Moon in Pisces opposes Sun in Virgo

Moon in Pisces sextile Uranus in Taurus

Uranus in Taurus trine Sun in Virgo

Uranus in Taurus opposes Mercury in Virgo

Mercury in Virgo trine Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn in Capricorn

Mars in Taurus square Pluto Jupiter, and Saturn in Capricorn

Mars in Taurus square Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn in Capricorn

There’s a lot going on at this lunation in terms of planetary relationships and the cosmic energy it brings forth.

The Sun in Virgo brings awareness to our wholeness and willingness to give and take care of others. With the Moon in Pisces opposing this, it asks us to also pay attention to our boundaries when giving of ourselves- make sure to be taking care of ourselves first.

Are you making sure your needs are getting met?

What can you let go of in order to care for yourself more?

Uranus in Taurus is sextile to the Moon and is shaking things up so we get out of our comfort zone. Sometimes we need to feel uncomfortable to be motivated to grow. Mercury, the planet ruling communication, might not be subtle about this but don’t shoot the messenger! Remember the messages that are coming through serve a purpose for your (and the collective) Highest Good.

Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter are conjunct in Capricorn, and are busy airing out the dirty laundry that the Patriarchy has tried to keep hidden. They highlight where we need to expand and reflect on our own individual responsibilities and how we fit into the current system that has been built on oppression.

Mercury trines this aspect here again to aid us in communication, connection, and collaboration so that real lasting and sustainable changes can be made. Mars in Taurus forms a square which is pushing us forward to DO SOMETHING. It can feel pushy, impulsive, and head-strong (think angry bull), so making sure that you remain grounded and pause to tune into your senses will help replenish yourself and avoid burn-out.

Lean into the energy of Venus in Cancer- the soft, nurturing, compassionate side of yourself and steer clear of the hate that is being spread like wildfire. Remember we are all in this together and this is not a short-term fight we are in for, rather a long revolution of evolution that has only just begun.

Ritual:

Place your crystals and divination tools on a windowsill to bask in the full moonlight and get cleansed and charged with the energy. Even if the actual moonbeams don’t shine down on them, the intention you set by placing them there and calling the energy down will harness the magic.

A ritual bath seems in order with the watery Pisces Full Moon. Light some candles, add some Epsom salt and essential oils or herbal body oils to the warm water and submerge yourself. While you soak, contemplate what is simply taking up space in your life and preventing you from being your best self.

What needs to be released?

Envision having that space freed up. What does that allow?

I invite you to create an affirmation to solidify this intention. I like to say something like “I release _____ and allow/open to _____.”

As you drain the bathtub, envision everything you have released being emptied along with the water.

Write down your intentions to refer back to throughout this lunar cycle and see how your manifestations are coming into reality, or to reflect and make any additional adjustments needed to get where you want to be.

As always, I am available for astrology readings and energy work including Reiki and so much more. I am only a phone call/email away so please reach out if I can support you. You can book an appointment directly here.

Wishing you clarity and ease during this Pisces Full Moon,
