Pisces’ evolutionary goal is to decouple consciousness from personality, to understand that we are more than our characteristics, traits, or the state of our internal landscape, to see beyond what makes us human (our identity/self-image) and identify with our larger self or soul;
The Full Moon is opposite the Sun in Virgo. While Virgo prides itself on excellence and perfecting their skills to be of service to the world, Pisces knows that we are more than what we do or create. For Pisces, identifying with the soul is where growth and transcendence is found.
Pisces serves as the healing balm to Virgo’s internal doubts and self-criticism by offering a generous dose of compassion, which invites the question: can you offer yourself more compassion and love as you move through your daily routine, the practice of perfecting your craft or the process of self-growth?
Though Virgo and Pisces are in polarity to one another, they balance each other out. While Virgo is focused on refining and enhancing all aspects of their life (daily rituals, skills, health) to reach their ultimate potential, Pisces brings the process of surrendering to the equation. Some things are beyond our control and can’t be molded by our very hands. Here is where Pisces comes in and surrenders to the unknown — trusting that sometimes we need to step away from “doing” and just be — letting certain things unfold as they may.
Virgo is logic and reason while Pisces is our inner knowing that defies logic and what is tangible. Virgo is our analytical and logical mind while Pisces is our higher consciousness. Mercury which rules Virgo represents our analytical mind while Neptune which rules Pisces represents our higher consciousness. It encompasses our inner knowing, our inner truth, what we sense and know to be true within that comes from beyond our mind.
This lunation is conjunct Neptune, the planet of consciousness, which highlights where we may need to step back, surrender, and allow things to take shape in their own timing. While we play a part in shaping and diligently working towards our goals, divine timing plays a part in the process too. The moon is also sextile to Uranus, the planet of individuation, which invites us to pause and feel into whether what we’re striving for or creating is being molded by the external or whether it’s a reflection of our true self.
Reflections:
Where do you need to release your grip, take a breath, and be still? Answers come to us in moments of stillness .
Can you press pause on endlessly “doing” and just be? Can you quiet your mind, if only for a few moments, and be present with the whispers of your soul?
Are you over identifying with what you have to offer/your accomplishments rather than being in connection with the totality of your being/soul? Know that you are more than what you have to offer.
Are your dreams or what you’re working towards in alignment with your true self or have they been shaped by external expectations and pressures?
