On\u00a0Monday Sept. 20th, at 7:55pm EDT,<\/b>\u00a0the Sun opposes the Moon in 28 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>.<\/i>\u00a0The Moon in creative, free-flowing\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical\u00a0Virgo — the entrance of the\u00a0Moon into Pisces\u00a0on S<\/b>ept. 18th<\/strong>\u00a0starts the energetic build up towards this\u00a0Full Moon <\/b>— if you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject:\u00a0click here.<\/a><\/p>\nOn Sept. 20th<\/strong>, we can ask ourselves<\/strong>: How far have we come since the Sept. 6th New Moon? What can we see now that was not apparent then?<\/p>\n This Full Moon has six planets in Retrograde motion<\/i>: Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This indicates a strong need for inner processing and aligning ourselves with those planetary energies from within. It\u2019s a necessary phase of re-evaluation, restructuring, and letting go.<\/p>\n Things appear to slow down during a retrograde passage, as internal shifts must happen before we can progress; once a planet turns direct, we feel ready to move forward in that area of life.<\/p>\n Three of the six planets I mentioned above will start to go direct in October (Jupiter, Saturn & Pluto), and at that point, we will get the opportunity to bring all of our inner discoveries from the previous 4-5 months to the outside world.<\/p>\n For a more in-depth interpretation of your own chart<\/b>, in connection with Saturn\u2019s & Pluto\u2019s Station Direct phases<\/em>, join us live for the Forum on Sept. 17th<\/strong>,\u00a0or<\/i> get the mp4-video presentation of the live event. Either way, register here now<\/a>\u00a0(unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, you are automatically registered).<\/p>\n And if you are reading this on <\/b>or<\/i> after Sept. 17th<\/b>, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation of this webinar here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With this Full Moon, we are also dealing with two stationing planets<\/i> —\u00a0Mercury & Pluto — Mercury in Libra<\/b> is preparing to start its 3-week Retrograde phase on Sept. 27th, and is therefore exalted at the time of the Full Moon; Pluto in Capricorn<\/b> is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phase <\/b>on Oct. 6th, <\/b>and will be exalted until Oct. 21st.<\/p>\n We are getting ready to retrace our steps (Mercury in Libra<\/strong>), and are seeking empowerment when it comes to our long-term goals or social structures (Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Now let’s first address this Full Moon’s polarities<\/i>: The\u00a0Virgo\/Pisces polarity<\/b>\u00a0has to do with our ability to connect the head with the heart, logic with intuition, matter with spirit. So the question is: how do we integrate\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Virgo<\/b>?<\/p>\n This may seem a challenging question, given\u00a0Virgo’s<\/b>\u00a0leaning toward…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected — we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative).<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/b>:\u00a0What if nothing and no one were separate? Appearing to be different, yes, but not separate…<\/p>\n Virgo <\/b>(which is connected to our mental processes)\u00a0analyzes, whereas\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0(which is connected to our intuitive processes) feels, senses.<\/p>\n Virgo<\/b>\u00a0seeks physical wholeness, while\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0reminds us of a greater wholeness — a spiritual wholeness — our interconnectedness with all of life, the allowing of all\u00a0the mysteries of life.<\/p>\n To be at its best,\u00a0Virgo<\/b>\u00a0aims for practical applications and to be of service, while\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0learns to listen to inner\/intuitive guidance above all else, using its imagination to bring love and light into this world, to sprinkle mystery fairy dust,\u00a0and\u00a0to create Paradise on Earth.<\/p>\n When these two archetypes are balanced within, we discern without judgment, serve with an open heart, and improve our daily lives without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing\u00a0love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.<\/p>\n That said, let’s also talk about the shadow\u00a0side<\/i> of those signs, as we do with all Full Moons:<\/p>\n Virgo’s\u00a0<\/i><\/b>shadow side<\/i>\u00a0is self-deprecation and judgment; the latter creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0 What if I did 5% less “perfection” and 5% more “process improvement”? What if it were ok to not know everything 100%? Could I be of service to others while also improving my own understanding of things?<\/p>\n How\u00a0might “making mistakes” be beneficial to me? What if I celebrated “mistakes” as stepping stones to a better life?<\/p>\n Simply observe:<\/b>\u00a0Does my inner dialog observe and discern what is productive vs. what is unproductive (i.e. what works or what doesn’t)? Or do I label things as “good or bad”, “right or wrong”?<\/p>\n You could say that\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0is an antidote to judgment: in its lightest expression, it understands that we are all souls in various states of development, with different paths in the world — we are all love at our core, and everything is ultimately an expression or variation of love.<\/p>\n The shadow side of\u00a0<\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>is a lack of boundaries, getting lost in illusions, fantasies,\u00a0and\u00a0escapism of various sorts (this stems from being highly sensitive, feeling everything, and becoming overwhelmed).<\/p>\n As you may have guessed, the remedy for the\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0shadow lies in the lighter vibrations of\u00a0Virgo<\/b>; these include the ability to focus on what works (versus what doesn’t), to make practical choices, and to make the best use of our daily engagements while taking care of our physical wellbeing.<\/p>\n When the\u00a0Pisces<\/b>–\u00a0and\u00a0Virgo<\/b>-energies are integrated, we marry a clear, observant mind with a compassionate and loving heart — a mind in partnership with our intuitive sensing!<\/p>\n Ask yourself:\u00a0<\/b>What tools might shift my view of reality from either\/or, to both\/and? From the\u00a0mind-activity of “wanting to understand” and “know” to the heart-activity of true understanding?<\/p>\n Let’s look at some of the aspects of this Full Moon<\/i>:<\/p>\n The Moon in <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b> aligns with Neptune <\/i>(which is the ruler of Pisces<\/b>, and has been in its own sign since April 2011).<\/i>\u00a0This is a call to extend compassion, acceptance, or forgiveness to family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general (collectively and individually speaking). Unconditional love for our feeling-body and our responses towards the world is also very helpful right now.<\/p>\n We may feel more sensitive — more tuned-in to other people’s feelings or suffering — and this gives us the opportunity to experience the full range of all feelings as they arise, and to sense our interconnectedness with everything around us.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: <\/b>What would it look like if I allowed the flow of all feelings? If I allowed my heart to soften? Could I be 5% more open to the beauty all around me? How might nature be my teacher in all of this?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If I start to feel overwhelmed by what I am feeling or experiencing, could I simply give myself 10 minutes to connect to nature in some way?<\/p>\n Spiritual practices are also wonderful here, of course (such as meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, etc.); the same is true of spiritual\/energetic healing modalities like Reiki, “Access Consciousness Bars”, shiatsu, acupuncture, etc. These can all help us tap into the higher vibrations of\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0(and the Neptune-energy as well).<\/p>\n What else can help us experience our connection to \u201cthe all\u201d? The creative flow of dance, singing, music, sound, etc. — and of course, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion.<\/p>\n The Moon\/Neptune alignment in\u00a0<\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>\u00a0also sextiles Pluto in\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, and the Sun in\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0makes a\u00a0Trine to Pluto.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Let’s start with\u00a0the Sextile to Pluto in\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>: Surrendering our fears about our position in the world and our achievements gets a little easier; we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration,\u00a0and feel empowered about a project or task that might serve us long-term, or as a society.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears in connection to past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my face lately when it comes to such fears?<\/p>\n
