Astrologically, the light of a Full Moon illuminates the area of our life symbolized by the zodiacal sign in which it falls. Affecting our emotional nature, and the deep watery realms of the subconscious, the charged energies of this Pisces Full Moon will attempt to awaken the dormant nature of our unconscious.
Pisces is the sign representing union – the unending quest of humankind to merge with divine. This Piscean search for union can permeate our dreaming and waking reality. When the Moon falls in the constellation of Pisces our waking world can become dreamy and surreal. The veils between the earthly and spirit realms become very thin, creating a desire to dream our reality into being.
Full Moons always occur when the Moon is in opposition to the Sun. The Sun will be in Virgo during this Full Moon emphasizing the Piscean-Virgo theme of healing. The Moon is also closely aligned with its ruling planet Neptune, as well as Chiron – the two planets associated with crises and healing. This close alignment to Neptune and Chiron can create emotional sensitivity to our own feelings of suffering as well as the plight and suffering of humankind. It is an especially opportunistic time to acknowledge and honor those areas in your life that are in need of healing and forgiveness.
Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury is retrograde during this Full Moon providing an opportunity to revisit the unresolved areas of our past. Mercury is the planet that rules our thought processes and while retrograde in Virgo, Mercury has the potential to cause mental stress and anxiety. We may find it challenging to stay focused on the present and find ourselves dwelling on past issues, and or, worrying about the future.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and therefore represents culmination in one or more areas of our life. With Saturn currently in Libra and in aspect to this Full Moon, we may find ourselves wanting to culminate that which is no longer in balance within our close relationships. This does not mean our relationships have to end, rather a culmination of the imbalance needs to occur, allowing the relationship to mature into a healthier dynamic.
Lastly, this Full Moon falls in the Astrological eleventh house representing hopes, wishes and dreams. What hopes, wishes and dreams do you wish to cultivate? This is a beneficial time to seek inner guidance and set intentions for your future. The luminous Pisces Full Moon is a great time to invoke insight through meditation, ceremony, dream symbolism, and your personal intuition.
