Full
Moon in Pisces: Dreaming into Being
Moon
opposite Sun- 9/13/19 @ 11:32pm CDT
This
is the Harvest season in our Northern Hemisphere, and Springtime in
the South. The lead up to what we call the Harvest Moon here brings
in a strong desire for necessary change. Of course, not everyone
desires the same kind of change...and some desires are strongly
opposed to others. On the grand scale, we’re still dealing with
the same old oppositions...exacerbated now by an acceleration of
long-running issues coming to call on humanity’s conscience.
If
we’re listening to the balance between the luminaries right now,
what we’ll hear is the Virgo-Pisces message of being in service to
something greater than ourselves. It has been echoed by the Virgo
Stellium’s opposition to Neptune this month...strengthened now as
Virgo Mars exacts this opposition at the beginning of another Synodic
Journey (“New Mars” initiated on September 2nd). We’re
dreaming something into being, and the Virgo energy wants us to be
lucid enough to guide the flow of that Neptunian dream to a healthy
place for our planet.
Pluto,
the planet of Group Alteration, assists us in transforming the dream
through beneficial aspects to the luminaries. The Lunar Nodes help
us tap into the opportunities to align with the collective soul path
through a beneficial pattern with Mars-Neptune called a Mystic
Rectangle. This pattern can often create an aperture for creativity
or blessings to flow, especially if we put some effort into working
with others for mutual benefit.
But
it is the more dynamic aspects this month that have continually
inclined us to push ourselves toward meaningful change. The planet
of action (Mars), the energy within us that provides the impetus for
change, is now in an active balance with the planet of extrasensory
wisdom (Neptune), our mystic connection to the Higher Heart within.
And both are channeling the hard work of this balance into dynamic
squares with the planet of expansion (Jupiter), our inner Guru.
At
this Full Moon, our Luminaries in conjunction with the Mars-Neptune
opposition illuminate a key lesson in this balance that Jupiter is
amplifying and Pluto is supporting: inspired action,
beyond belief, is necessary for collective transformation.
And
with Moon so close to her apogee (farthest from Earth in her orbit),
we might feel a bit small, like we don’t have much impact. We
might feel a bit distant from the crux of what brought our world to
such turmoil, even if we know we are part of the problem. But,
distant as she is, the Moon reminds us we are also part of the
solution. Pisces Moon sings of oneness...and of fusing together all
the disparate parts of the whole.
But
how do we fix things? Not an uncommon question, these days,
especially lately with so many planets in Virgo. We see disparate
parts seemingly scattered in every direction we look. In the
transition from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, separation
is a prevalent theme. But if we look closer...if we allow ourselves
to peer beyond what we’ve learned of duality and right into the
heart of what’s happening, we can catch a glimpse of the illusion
that separation is. And it echoes something we often hear: We are
all one. The question is...can we allow ourselves to move beyond the
illusions we see enough to believe in unity?
One
way you can see it is that a reflection of what’s happening on the
outside is happening on the inside. On the individual level, we’ve
all got our own version of this call for necessary change...some
version of being out-of-alignment that makes it difficult to ignore
within us. The scale of that change that is demanding attention
within us may be a few relatively subtle tweaks to our individual
business-as-usual lives...or, more likely, it may be something more
drastic...even a total upheaval from what we’ve become used to.
Just going through the motions to get by isn’t cutting it now.
There’s an activation stirring in the collective, and a Full Moon
in Pisces heightens our ability to pick up on these unseen
vibrations.
Every
one of us is in need of a change that will bring some re-alignment.
Even every small change can have a big impact. Change absolutely has
a ripple effect. So whatever it is for you that this Virgo Stellium
has been calling for from you (and for some, Virgo might sound more
like a nagging demand this month)...know that the intent behind the
call serves a greater remedy. Because without each one of us
operating at a more efficient level than where we have been...we
won’t be well prepared for the greater changes to come.
Essentially,
the Virgo-Pisces call for service is a symbiotic flow that reaches
into the microcosms within our physical bodies and out into the
collective macrocosms beyond our spheres of awareness. The vibration
of these energies in alignment is a finely-tuned sound healing that
can be heard over any din. Imagine the effect if more of us sung our
most powerful note. Perhaps you’ve already noticed that Mother
Nature holds this frequency.

'Drawing Down the Moon'
by Lobel Riche |
How
can we harvest the gifts that this Harvest Moon brings us now (or
plant new beginnings in the Southern Hemisphere)? The Mother Moon is
not as distant as she may seem. Moon is conjunct Neptune Retrograde
on this Friday the 13th (a powerful day for Mama
Luna)...and when Neptune is opposite Sun, this out-of-sight planet is
closer to us than usual. So our Moon also reflects the closeness of
what is unknown. This can show us that objects in the mirror (or
goals in sight) are closer than they appear. It can also heighten
our awareness of any illusions we’ve been under.
Gratitude
for our earthly gifts, as well as sharing them with others, is an
integral interaction with any Harvest. We can ‘draw down the Moon’
with that same Harvest Medicine. Thank her for the light she
reflects through the lengthening nights here in the North. Invite
her to illuminate you from within. Share her wisdom through your
interaction with life on Earth. For some, it is a ritual we know
well. For others, perhaps a more foreign concept. But it can be as
subtle or as powerful as you need it to be.
You
might ask this Full Moon, “How can I change as you do?”

In
drawing down the Moon’s wisdom for our world in need of change, it
will take some effort from each of us. Some of us may have to go to
a place that is far removed from what we know. Many of us carrying
her light will face the challenge of integrating that message of
unified change into humanity’s awareness through our own example.
No matter how clear we each are with the piece of her wisdom we
receive, there is always the potential for it to get lost in
translation. So it is important to live it by example more than to
simply proclaim it as truth.

Hogwarts Coat of Arms
Motto: "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon" |
A
coat of arms is part of a system of hereditary symbols that dates
back to early medieval Europe. Initially, such heraldry was to
establish identity in battle. Later, arms evolved to denote family
decent, alliance, ownership, and even profession. In modern day,
even a company logo has elements of such symbolism. With the Sun
here, this symbol speaks of carrying something of value from one’s
ancestors or others who have passed on a certain legacy to you. What
is illuminated here is a responsibility to live up to higher
standards for ourselves and be an example of integrity for others,
especially our next generations. Perhaps it’s your ancestors
supporting you in being the best version of yourself, or perhaps it
is your family or company that wants you to set a good example.
Perhaps, for all of us, it is every being who ever lived before us
raising our awareness of this crucial time we’re coming to in our
lifetime. Whatever it is, there is a noble cause within each of us
that is coming to light...and we are being encouraged to shine.
Both
of these luminary symbols during this Full Moon hold these higher
frequencies. However, there are some difficult energies involved
that can muddle the meaning and incline people toward acting on
exaggerated emotions, unhealthy belief systems, over-inflated
egos, or overwhelming confusion. A growing to-do list might have your head swimming, feeling
the weight of obligations. Forcing others to abide by unfair rules
may overshadow the underlying need for a change. Self-importance may
get in the way of leadership that serves the whole. We may see some
socio-political issues get worse before they get better...because
there has been a subtle opportunity opening for mutual benefit this week,
but such things often get disregarded by those who are drunk with
power.
But
if we, leading up to the Full Moon, shift our perspective to that
opportunity for shared benefit through internal
transformation...we’ll be better able to receive the Harvest with
gratitude. No matter the hemisphere you live in, abundance is
coming. So where our attention goes is where that abundance flows.
Better to pool your energy into something you actually want to
amplify than on the illusions of separation that are running rampant lately.
Love
and Gratitude,
