Full
Moon in Pisces: A Bridge Between Worlds
Moon
opposite Sun @ 6:53am on 8-26-18
This
week, in between Mercury’s Station (8-18) and this Full Corn Moon
(8-26), has been one of processing all the new information we just
gleaned from this Summer of Retrogrades and Eclipses. As we return
to the forward-thinking of the collective mind (Mercury Direct), we
are preparing ourselves for a few ‘third time’s the charm’
experiences (with Neptune Rx, Jupiter, and Pluto Rx). But first, a
Full Moon to illuminate the integration theme and transform the seeds
of the eclipsed New Moon in Leo to an abundant field of promise.
Mars, still retrograde until the following day, is stationed at
Capricorn 29 (Sabian Symbol: “a woman reading tea leaves”) this
weekend as well...so be aware of whether your actions are aligned
with your truest desires at this time, and what your intuitive
instincts are bringing into focus.
What
the Virgo-Pisces axis of this Full Moon brings to light is how we can
best be of service at this time. Virgo Sun illuminates the necessity
of getting down to brass tacks about what is essential, while Pisces
Moon boosts the empathic sense of where our love needs to flow. It’s
not meant to be an either/or issue...though many of us have been
conditioned to separate the two forms of service between the physical
and the metaphysical. At this Full Moon, it’s all about bridging
between worlds...clearing out the clutter so we can allow the
spiritual to manifest in the healthiest ways throughout our everyday
lives.
Moon
in Pisces 4: Heavy car traffic on a narrow isthmus linking two
seashore resorts
This
symbol has to do with convergence...bringing together what appears to
be separate. With this lunar influence, there is a pull toward
service that helps others create beneficial links...either to each
other or within their own experience...to keep them from feeling
alienated or to try to ease the heaviness within them. The
interchange of ideas and interplay of activity is something that
keeps us all interconnected. However, if we don’t keep things
balanced, confusion can ensue and traffic jams may result. Moon in
Pisces reminds us, ‘you can be the builder of bridges (or, better
yet, teach others how to build those bridges) without having to carry
the weight of being the bridge yourself.’ For many of us who
identify as healers, we may be called upon at this time to help
people with the clean-up work of ‘heavy traffic’ after the triple
eclipses and the integration of what Mercury’s Retrograde restored
in us. This is as much a reminder to myself as it is for the rest of
you: keep in mind that one of the themes this summer has been
self-care. For many of us, it helps us to help others...and that’s
a good thing, in moderation. Remember that losing yourself in the
process of helping others discover what they’re searching for can
result in the kind of energetic traffic jams that confuse
interactions and halt progress. Pisces can stir up confusion, or it
can provide a limitless flow of inspiration...it’s all in how you
use it.
Sun
in Virgo 4: Black and white children play together happily
This
symbol has to do with humanity. The true essence of humanity is in
our brotherhood, sisterhood, and the creative play we engage in
together that builds relationships with each other and with our
world. The many contrasts of our outward expression all come to our
unified essentials within...it is what we share with each other in
our interactions (a meeting of minds, hearts, and souls) that is most
important. So where the inspiration to come together is anchored in
the intuitive knowing of Piscean waters...the tangible manifestation
that earthy Virgo brings is one of joyful play.
Go
Fly a Kite
Okay,
maybe not literally (but you could, if weather permits). But this
Full Moon holds a harmonious opportunity within an aspect pattern
known as the Kite. This combines a strong Grand Earth Trine of
Uranus Rx in Taurus, Sun in Virgo, and Saturn Rx in Capricorn with
Moon sextiling both retrograde planets and opposite the Sun. All of
that creative potential stored within the Grand Earth Trine receives
a gentle push from the Pisces Moon to make something of it. An
opportunity may arise for each of us tomorrow to more fully engage in
the promise of this Full Moon. It may not be something you expect,
or even something very obvious...but it will be there, waiting for
you to rise to the occasion.
Mercury’s Post-Shadow Period: The Collective Integration of Leo Wisdom
About
13 hours after Mars stations direct on August 27th,
Mercury meets Jupiter for their third and final square…and we may
be ready to take action to change something that wasn’t previously
working toward our collective enlightenment.
Then
on the 29th,
Mercury meets Pluto Rx for their third and final inconjunct…and our
opportunity to integrate that final piece of soul wisdom occurs.
After
4 more days, on September 2nd,
Mercury returns to that ‘unkempt yogi’ degree and actualizes it
in a more substantial way. We may realize a more healthy
self-expression by focusing less on appearance and more on the Leo
way of shining our own medicine with heart and mind aligned.
Love
and Gratitude,
