Happy Pisces Full Moon! The Virgo/Pisces axis is considered one of the most challenging and karmic axes in astrology, next to Saturn/Capricorn signatures. People with planets in Virgo/Pisces signs, or associated houses 6/12, have their work cut out for them. They deal with addictions, illusions/delusions, mental/emotional disorders, lack of confidence, lack of acknowledgement, lack of motivation or overwork, health issues, sensitivities, and carry the weight of lifetimes of karmic debt upon them. Suffering is often associated with Pisces; their thin boundaries allow them access to the emotional turmoil of the entire planet, the people, the plants, the animals, and timelines beyond the present. Didn’t mean to start this write-up out on such a somber tone, but this is the struggle and pain of collective field right now. It’s doubled up with the Full Moon Conjunct Neptune and the addition of 4 planets (soon to be 2) in Virgo. 

I’ve focused a lot on the challenges of this Full Moon, because the reality is that this isn’t an easy one. The beauty of it is that we have the potential to heal considerable amounts of baggage because our emotions are so accessible.

On a brighter note, the beauty of Pisces is expansive, connected, compassionate, empathic, creative, intuitive, and caring. Pisces gives us access to the unseen worlds in which healing and regeneration occurs. It allows us to be still within the oneness of the cosmos, and remember that we are more than just physical beings. We come from a place of love and beauty and will return to that when our time here in physical form is complete. Pisces reminds us to slow down, take time for ourself, meditate, rejuvenate, and heal from any emotional or physical challenges we’ve experienced. 

Our unconscious is surfacing during this Full Moon, with a strong urge to deal with the emotional fallout of situations that we may be avoiding. If we don’t have the tools to deal with the emotional content, we may find ourself in denial or exhibiting addictive behaviors. The pain and grief of what’s arising is our teacher and our way out of unhealthy patterns. We may get clear about the projections or illusions we had about a person or situation, and be faced with disappointment, hopelessness, and frustration. Whatever or whoever we are pointing at and blaming, we need to look in the mirror and see how we’ve contributed to our current situations. Perhaps more than we’d like to admit. 

The polarity of Virgo/Pisces is about balancing order (Virgo) and chaos (Pisces). From disorganization to organization, we are seeking some kind of stability within the rise and fall of the emotional waves. And not only is the Sun in Virgo, but Mars, Mercury, and Venus are anchored into this sign. Hopefully by now we’ve been working through our perfectionist and critical ways, and have come out the other side with compassion and curiosity. Mercury and Venus also happen to be in the last degree of Virgo, which can create tension and amplification of the sign. Any unresolved Virgo themes begin to expand, possibly to the point of overwhelm, are asking for resolution.

Another strong influence right now is Mars in Virgo in Opposition this Full Moon Ruler Pisces, and Mars Square Neptune. Amidst the Pisces and Virgo themes, Mars brings in a quality of impatience, frustration, confusion of our needs and actions, and low energy in general. The spark, fight, and direction that we normally find with fiery Mars has been dampened and exhausted by Neptune. We may also be reviewing past actions and finally coming to a place of forgiveness for ourself and others. The Mars/Neptune T-square with Jupiter in Sagittarius gives us a desire for independence but our efforts may feel thwarted by something outside of our control or something deeply held within our subconscious manifests as self-sabotage. This increases frustrations, anxieties, and feelings of helplessness.

I’ve focused a lot on the challenges of this Full Moon, because the reality is that this isn’t an easy one. The beauty of it is that we have the potential to heal considerable amounts of baggage because our emotions are so accessible. This is on a personal and collective level. We may see the suffering of those less fortunate than us and in impossible situations, and desire to help in whatever way we can. Grief, guilt, shame and anger are important emotions that inspire radical change in current situations. 

We also have the potential to create works of art and self express using our emotions as fuel for the creative fire. Remember I talked about bringing order into Chaos. Bringing the ineffability of our emotions, meditative journeys, and experiences with higher self and states of consciousness, into some physical representation through music, dance, art, etc, is a blessing with this Full Moon. Getting lost in emotions can be overwhelming without tools, or an outlet and way to transform and process them. 

Lastly and not the least, is Saturn Stationing Direct, and will be exact on September 18th. This strong influence is amplifying the heaviness and karmic magnitude of this giving this full moon. The undercurrent is one of a reality check to the Piscean state of bliss and illusion. We are facing loss, abandonment, and encouraged to take responsibility for ourself. Pisces is the last stop before we are born anew in Aries. Saturn helps remind us that all growth requires a level of maturity and responsibility. These next two weeks we’ll be facing our fears and challenges around these Saturn/Capricorn issues. Dreams we had or continue to have may need to be revised and reviewed, but aren’t lost. Pisces will make sure of that.

Most importantly during the full moon is taking time to rest and not push yourself. It’s about listening to your intuition, focusing - realistically- on your dreams and goals, and caring for yourself. Create new habits that support the manifestation of your dreams. Go out in Nature, because here we get to see and experience with wonder of life and Source’s perfect creation. Remember that you are also a manifestation of this perfection and interconnected with it all.
