Full Moon in Pisces: A Bridge Between Worlds

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

(Excerpt from a previous post about our week ahead:) About 11 hours after the Full Moon on August 26^th, Mercury meets Neptune Rx for their third and final inconjunct…and our first opportunity for integration of Mercury’s medicine arises. 

About 13 hours after Mars stations direct on August 27^th, 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 29^th, 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 2^nd, 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,
