Full Moon in Pisces September 2019

In order to reach the magical layer of the Full Moon in Pisces, clear past the delusions, confusion, the emotional haze with trust.

The other day, my friends and I had an on-going debate about posting videos and the importance of consent from others participating in the video. My Virgo friend continually defended boundaries and privacy. On the other side, another friend was about accepting the outcome, whatever that may be, he accepted it as his experience. Spoken like a true Pisces rising.

The energy of of the Pisces ascendent should be similar to how we respond to the powerful Full Moon. Yet, it also helps to understand where we stand, just as the Virgo side championed.

In one or two areas of your life, you might have already started to feel the influence of the Pisces Lunar light, being shrouded in a choking cloud of emotions, or confused by a certain situation. As we get closer to the full phase, the Moon will be within the orbital force of dreamy Neptune, amplifying the haze into possible stagnation, an inability to escape, feeling as if hypnosis has set in. We may start to feel helpless under so much uncertainty and weight. There can be a tendency to withdraw, deceive ourselves, as well as others. This can become exacerbated with the opposition to Mars and the Sun in Virgo, as it tests our own vitality, goals, identity, by defusing our motivational juice.

Use the determination of the warrior planet Mars(the warrior in you) and put action into faith and surrender. The outside planets are always a force to reckon with. Neptune in Pisces, as a mysterious influence to the Full Moon, is about yielding, while it raises our intuition is at high voltage. The Sun in Virgo can shine faith in our selves to analyze the problem while we step back. It’s about being creative in a situation and trusting the experience.

But like anything cloaked in mystery, we can find ourselves drifting further into an abyss.

This whole year, in at least one area of life, we have, more or less, been in a room of smoke and mirrors, thanks to the  Jupiter in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces. Where wisdom or abundance may have been distorted or inflated by a grand illusion, dream or belief. How we’ve dealt with this tension will determine the labyrinth of rooms we have wandered into. However, whether or not we’ve reacted in abandonment or been able to steady ourself in clear thinking and action, on the 21st of September, will be their final dance.

Fortunately, there is comfort in their last tense movements, as Saturn gives his grounding hand when he starts to go direct a few days before the exact square happens.

To give you an example, the Full Moon is happening in my career house of the 10th, it will square my ascendent in Gemini, tugging at how I want to mobile plans, obstructing missions I’ve set out, causing doubt and illusions in both my 9th house of journey’s, philosophy and how I want to be seen to the world(Pisces sits in my 9th and 10th house). I’ve contemplated on leaving my everyday responsibilities, my routine for extended travel. This has been a dream of mine for years now. Since the two planets can be deceptive in nature(it is a square!)I knew better than to act on it without proper grounded plans and organization. However, thanks to strong intuition, a practical outlook and of course the guidance of other astrologers, I knew that planning smart was the only way to make my dream a way of life, as oppose to, an escape that would side-track me from my goals, eventually losing sight—likely becoming discouraged—of the mission I had in place before the beginning of 2019. What has kept me in reality and what I have been working on since Saturn turned retrograde in April was relationships (Saturn transit 7th house) and the kind of work I want to establish as an astrology writer and my presence on a social platform—my natal Saturn is in my 3rd house.(seeing tangible results) I can say that the work I’ve done behind the scenes has cut through much of the confusion that Neptune and the Full Moon in Pisces has dropped on us.

At the moment, we are in high fickle energy, with seven planets in mutable signs. In other words, decisions, thoughts, actions and foresight can change with mutable influence. A confirmation to be adaptable, to stay flexible and to go with it, at least until Saturn has gone direct and the square energy between the two abstract planets have started thinning in influence.

Pluto in Capricorn will also be involved in this deceptive configuration. We will be able to use our penetrative and regenerative powers, to see where we can heal and change things for the better. My natal Pluto sits in my 4th house and is transiting my 8th house of resources and empowerment, reminding me I can get through this with the arsenal that I have built deep within. For others, his support can come from other areas of life, depending where he transits and sits natally in a personal chart.

The Full Moon in Pisces can be plagued by emotional burdens, uncertainties, distorting an area of life in affect. If we allow intuition and patience to guide us, while placing faith on the practical, we can then be in the magic of the experience, leading us to where we’re meant to be.
