August is over and we just entered Virgo season. Nature is in her process of shifting gears to get things in order in preparation of the Equinox and the coming fall. We too, are affected by the fluidity of the natural world and as the Moon rises bright and beautiful in the sign of Pisces, tenderheartedness expands, spilling over our edges.
Pisces, a water sign is compassionate, romantic, a dreamer fueled by fantasy, with a natural orientation to spirituality as well as psychic potential. Pisces energy seeks higher consciousness. Opposite the Full Moon in Pisces is the Sun in Virgo, an earth sign constantly pulled to reach for perfection and be of service. Analytical and very capable of excellence, Virgo has a love of offering to others something personally meaningful done extremely well.
This opposition brings our awareness to the spiritual and the physical, visionary and practical. There is great value in each, but when we integrate them, the gift is that they balance each other and work together beautifully.
Uranus retrograde in Taurus activates this Full Moon with a stimulating sextile and a flowing trine to the Sun signaling our heart that some type of change is necessary for emotional happiness and well being. Uranus is the Great Awakener, the catalyst that shakes things up, shifts our consciousness and spurs new levels of growth within and in our lives. In the sign of Taurus, the action of Uranus breaks down old ideas and systems to make way for innovation and authenticity in all facets of life including the ways we create and maintain security through our resources. Stable relationships, money, personal skills and possessions. With Uranus activating the Pisces Moon, there is a sensitive awareness of what needs to be released and creative visions of what comes next.
In the background, tensions exist from a T-square formed with an opposition between Venus in Cancer and Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn with Mars in Aries squaring and igniting them all. This configuration will stir up the reality of relationships, responsibilities and our sense of purpose. Creating an opportunity for thoughtful communication Mercury in Virgo trines Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and sextiles Venus in Cancer offering constructive strategies and solutions to new or long term problems.
Sensitive Pisces feels everything and at times can become overwhelmed in picking up surrounding sensory impressions from others including social media which can lead to Pisces shadow of apathy, drifting or numbing out. Be aware of this potential and make time for self-care. Unhook from media. Purposefully go within, in meditation, prayer, breath work, walking in nature or any creative endeavor. Find your personal flow.
During such powerful times of change, where people are struggling and hurting and the outer world becomes more loudly divisive; open your heart and feed your inner world with the message of this Full Moon in Pisces. Love, compassion and Divine connection is necessary more than ever as we navigate these times of upheaval and transformation. As we do our inner work for personal evolution and participate in the outer world revolutionary changes in whatever methods we feel called to, hold onto this thought. We are a spark of the Divine and there is a mystical life force that connects us all. In that, we are one.
