SUPER BLUE FULL MOON IN PISCES

the full moon is a cosmic climax. we can experience this energy as a burst of motivation, spark of inspiration, or wellspring of emotion. in the sign of pisces, this full moon shows that our feelings run deep. 

this pisces full moon is a special one: a super blue full moon. a super moon, as it appears closer in the sky than usual; and a blue moon, as it is the second full moon that falls in a single month. 

the presence of the super blue moon in august illustrates just how eventful and high energy the month has been. between the venus rx cazimi, mercury and uranus stationing retrograde, and the grand entrance of virgo season, there’s been a lot going on.

the pisces full moon marks the need for a deep exhale, giving way to rest and peace. pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, representing undoing, endings, and transition. these may be some of the general themes coming up during this time.

saturn in pisces accompanies this full moon, reminding us to surrender. trusting the process means believing in the things that we can’t see, believing that there is work being done behind the scenes. saturn’s time in pisces addresses our crisis of faith. we’re being called to believe in ourselves, in each other, in the universe. 

wherever pisces lands in our chart shows where we may struggle to “let go and let god”. the full moon is illuminating this struggle. saturn is teaching us that accepting our lack of knowledge and control in the present moment is not a personal failure, but an opportunity to slow down and rest. saturn is currently retrograde. results will come later. now is a time to simply float.

mutable pisces is a nostalgic water sign. still in the depths of venus retrograde, the past may be heavy on our minds. the current astrology illustrates how the past (pisces) casts a shadow (saturn) on the present.

when we talk about endings and undoing as pisces themes, we cannot skim over the fact that these topics also include death, metaphorical and literal. pisces represents the intangible, the things that we have lost. the memories of loved ones who have passed on or relationships that we left behind in the past could be bubbling up to the surface. 

pisces is the sign of dreams. the full moon in pisces illuminates our dreams — the ones we whisper to ourselves, the ones we’re building behind the scenes, and the ones that we have outgrown.

this full moon could shed light on the dreams that have not yet been fulfilled. some of them may never come to pass. some of them may take a great deal of linear time before they manifest. whatever the case may be, we may feel the pang of grief at the fact that some of our dreams have not come into our physical reality (yet) — and that some of our dreams never will come true.  we may need to grieve versions of ourselves that we need to lay to rest.

the magic of pisces is as above, so below. as within, so without.

the sign of the two fish demonstrates the duality, contradiction, and wholeness of the human experience. pisces shows us when a cycle is complete. 

this is a potent full moon to release grief, longing, and desire, as much as it is a powerful moment to cast spells, wishes, and manifestations. 

under this full moon, i invite you to have a good cry.

under this full moon, i invite you to imagine what you have deemed impossible.

under this full moon, i invite you to bury the person you thought you were.

under this full moon, i invite you to realize that you have grown beyond the things you thought you’d never leave behind.
