Full Moon in Pisces. September 10th
In the early hours of Saturday we are met by the Full Moon in Pisces that is going to turn the tide of our perceptions, it is going to reveal wounds of long forgotten past, but most importantly it is going to get us so much closer to the essence of our deep needs. The essence of our needs is often found in a space where our wounds are sleeping, buried underneath layers of the stories and concepts about how to be and who to be, just to be loved. Conditioned love is the most dangerous illusion that lives on the axis of Virgo and Pisces. We have built a dam made up of ideas and we have invested feelings and emotions to support this dam of illusionary ideas. Piscean waters are going to hit this dam really hard, we either allow it to fall or we feed it with more illusions and stories about love and value we convinced ourselves we have to work so hard for.
Square between this lunation and Mars in Gemini can be a place where our mind gets trapped in the old storylines, figuring out all the ways we can do more, be more, know more to be more deserving. This lunation is a time to create a flow of reminders in your space of the love and compassion that are non-negotiable, it’s time to cry-dance, to hold yourself with as much care as you know you hold others. The sextile to Uranus and North Node in Taurus is serving as a buzz of inspiration to let go, to drop the weight of the unmet needs of the past, to seek solace in the arms of nature and to create space that is not rushed to be filled with just anything.
Mercury turns retrograde in Libra just hours before the Full Moon. Wherever Mercury in Libra falls in your chart is where you will need to find balance, you might need to take a few steps back and look at your relationships from a distance. The Full Moon/Mercury retrograde dynamic speaks of looking at all the ways we perceive information coming from our partners and consider that maybe the balance needs to happen within the hidden parts of our psyche, before we take into the outer world dynamics.
The pendulum of our feelings and emotions is very sensitive to any external influences right now, grounding is essential during this lunation. Small wind can create quite an internal havoc, the perceptions are sharp, yet diluted in the Neptunian fog. Have compassion for the intensity you may feel right now, use it creatively, without trying to arrive somewhere.
The ruler of this lunation, Jupiter, is also retrograde in Aries. A lot of our inner, hidden currents have to do with authenticity and need to express one’s unique talents. We have an opportunity right now, to return to places within, where we keep those aspirations, that poetry, all those words and sounds and pictures, all that is reminding us that we are co-creators of this reality, and we must find a way to enjoy it. We just need to allow for the Piscean water to wash away all that is no longer serving us, but merely is a fear disguised as nostalgia. Happy Full Moon, Lovers.
