With open hands and warm empathy, Luna enters her Piscean journey selflessly absorbing Aphrodite’s struggle on the opposite side of the karmic wheel. Far from her exalted home and her desire for unity, Venus’s talents are left to comb the many drawers of convenience in the cabinet of Virgo. Joy no longer flows fluently in untamed abundance but instead must be carefully cultivated by paying attention to the smallest components of the sought-for whole. With focus, Venus learns a new love language as she discovers “the world in a grain of sand.”
Take the time to contemplate one area of your life that is hard to grasp and then tease out a single detail. Understanding even one small fractal can be the first step toward a greater awareness of the grand scheme.
Floating in Piscean waters, fishing for wisdom, Luna patiently awaits the height of her receptivity when she becomes completely engulfed by the solar light of sentience. On September 10 at 2:59 AM PT, the Moon will be full.
Shedding light on the intricacies of our great cosmic order, the Sun in Virgo lets the Moon translate this eternal hierarchy into a revelatory story. Notice how wordsmith Mercury, in the sign of the Scales, attempts to balance logic and reason with creative imagination. But alas, with Hermes no longer supported by his own agency and stationing retrograde, the mind leans toward a more wondrous and mystifying strand of comprehension.
Let the bizarre and unfathomable seep into the cracks in your worrying mind. Who knows what kind of tantalizing inner scapes are waiting to be uncovered?
These enlightening moments don’t present themselves without some scratches and scars, as Mars, who is gradually losing pace, has already made a zesty square to the Moon less than 11 hours before she reached the maximal height of her illumination. Carelessly spoken words may have a disturbing impact on our delicate equilibrium.
“… hurtful words are such that pierce the heart and weigh the soul.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich
Luna feels these poetic words and truly lives them, in Pisces. In this double-bodied sign, she remains pliable and forgiving although struggling against a tension between conflicting priorities as the Jupiterian fishes swim in opposite directions, forever caught in their liquid cycle. With the Sun and the Moon opposing one another, this Full Moon phase briefly highlights the Piscean inner turmoil.
For now, it is the Moon orchestrating the dance and centering the core significance around deeper truths. Upon meeting with Neptune, Luna’s silence in this muted sign of Pisces unfolds a vast space that can either inspire otherworldly creativity or lure us into a calming numbness where we get drunk on love.
