Full Moon in Pisces

A full blue moon rises in the archetype of the mystic, dreamer, and visionary. Pisces’ evolutionary goal is to teach the heart to identify with its soul or consciousness rather than personality. It is through exploring the ocean of consciousness within through meditation, creating, envisioning, and spending time in solitude that Pisces connects with its boundless self.

As with all full moons, they sit opposite the sun. While Pisces (moon) represents all things ethereal, mystical, and spiritual, Virgo (sun) represents the practical and mundane such as our daily routines, habits, and skill sets. For Virgo, creating a daily flow that is orderly and streamlined is a meditative ritual. By implementing and following our daily rituals and routines, we can move through our day with clarity and precision, accomplish what we set out to do, and feel an overall sense of meaning and purpose in the process. This is Virgo’s domain.

Feeling like you’re a part of something that is greater than yourself is the thread that connects Virgo and Pisces. For Virgo, being of service in a way that is meaningful and impactful is life-giving, and for Pisces that realization comes when they begin to understand that they are not just the body they reside in but rather they are a part of something much greater, vast, and mysterious; — something that can’t be touched, but rather felt and experienced within.

This lunation is conjunct Saturn, which represents limitations, restrictions, and challenges. Saturn is symbolic of the next developmental stage. It’s about letting go of a certain way of being or doing and taking on a more mature way of doing things. Saturn can feel restricting because it challenges us to grow. At the root, Saturn challenges us to rise up to our true potential instead of bathing in comfort and familiarity. Saturn is the part of you that sees the greatness contained in you, but to get there, you have to put in the time and effort. That’s taskmaster Saturn.

So how do we bring our potential and visions to reality? The answer lies with earthly Virgo and Saturn. Virgo knows that our habits become us. So, ask yourself, what habits do you need to implement or do away with to grow into the person you envision yourself being? What self-care practices and rituals can you weave into your day that will allow room for rest, meditation, and rejuvenation, so that you can carry out your meaningful work? And can you commit to this process even when it feels difficult? Growth is often challenging, but “to transform into something beautiful takes work and faith. This is Pisces, Virgo, and Saturn working in unison through the process of envisioning (Pisces), implementing daily practices and rituals (Virgo), and staying disciplined and committed (Saturn).

With that said, during this full moon, remember to connect to the part of you (aka Pisces) that understands that you are more than what you perceive yourself to be. You are not your limitations. You are not your past. You are not your self-limiting beliefs. You are exactly who you envision yourself in your heart to be.
