FULL MOON IN PISCES

Full Moon in Pisces

FULL ILLUMINATION August 30th 2023 at Approximately 9:35 PM EST

The full Moon in Pisces perfects on August 30th at approximately 9:35 PM EST. As the Sun and Moon are in exact opposition during a full Moon, this offers the opportunity for shadows to come to light. This full Moon in Pisces opposes the Sun in Virgo.

Routines of Life

Virgo seasons brings our focus to responsibility, routines and health. Under stress Virgo can get caught in the anxiety provoking cycle of feeling the pressure to be constantly doing. Pisces is far more whimsical and dreamy than the day-to-day routines of the Virgo architype. But, Saturn is sitting closely on the heels of this full Moon bringing more seriousness to this normally dreamy magic that Pisces can bring.

Saturn comes in to show us where we need to be taking more responsibility. Perhaps even early into this Virgo season you have found yourself caught up in the day-to-day routines or anxiety of feeling like you must be constantly doing something. Afterall, Virgo season is such a busy time. Summer is wrapping up and soon harvest season will be in full swing.

Father Saturn

Saturn places the responsibility spotlight on this full Moon in Pisces and shows us the shadow that needs illuminated. Perhaps the remedy for the anxiety of Virgo season is taking some time to review the feelings and “why” behind the need to constantly feel busy and productive. The Saturn full Moon connection invites you get real about your hopes, dreams and expectations. Are you inducing your own anxiety by staying busy with unnecessary tasks? Is your constant busyness in alignment with your highest good or coming from a feeling of obligation to constantly do for others?

Mercury RX

Mercury as the ruler of Virgo has been in Retrograde and is in a loose harmonious aspect with Jupiter, the ruler of Pisces. Mercury retrograde offers us the opportunity to re-assess perceptions and patterns which may have previously kept us stuck. Perhaps you have noticed “aha” moments or felt clarity on questions. Mercury and Jupiter in a harmonious aspect can help ease communication, shift perceptions and offer a feeling of expansion. During this full Moon, the Jupiter/Mercury aspect can help you get clear on your values and release unnecessary sources of anxiety.

I have kept this one brief as I myself am taking some time to release unnecessary stress. Sometimes a nice vacation is a great way to break up the normal routine! As always, I hope you take full advantage of these energies and release what is no longer serving. Take some time to journal, reflect, meditate or even vacation!

With Love and Gratitude,
