Today, or, actually, this evening, we welcome the Full Moon in Pisces. The Full moon arrives every 28 days, and each in is in a different sign. The September 8th Full moon is exact at 6:38 PT/ 9:38 ET at 16 degrees of Pisces.
Always –the Full moon is in the sign opposite the Sun. You can observe this by looking at the sun setting in the west – and at full moon, you will see the moon rising in the east at exactly the same time. I find this fascinating, and if you can learn this one simple concept – you are on your way to becoming an astrology wiz.
Because the Sun is in Virgo now, using the information presented above, you know that this full moon is in Pisces, the sign of Universal compassion and surrender. Think of this time as being sanctioned by Kuan Yin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy.
The origin of her name is translated as a being who ‘hears the cries of the world’. One of the several stories surrounding Kuan Yin is that as a human, through great love and sacrifice during life, she had earned the right to enter Nirvana after death.
However, while standing before the gates of Paradise she heard a cry of anguish from the earth below. Turning back, she renounced her reward of bliss eternal but in its place found immortality in the hearts of the suffering. Similar to my Oracle card for the Part of Fortune, Kuan Yin was born of a lotus flower, and she is one of the many multi-armed goddesses. Each of her arms and hands has a purpose.
These mythological stories teach universal messages, regardless of whether they stem from Buddhism, or western astrology. Perhaps Kuan Yin will join you in your Full Moon meditations.
Define; Surrender; Release
The Virgo/Pisces axis is one of the most spiritual orientations of the zodiac. Symbolically, through Pisces, the sign of Great Water, you must set sail into the ocean – a place that is unknowable and unpredictable.
For a human being, this means that there is a quality of surrendering to the phrase ‘Thy will be done’.
Spirituality, compassion, and retreat are all in the realm of Pisces. This lunation is also called the Harvest moon – and that is what you must do ; collect all that is good in your life, and release what is no longer of value.
The Pisces/Virgo axis is also the most sensitive. It’s time to evaluate your health and also your overall energy. Pisces is also a sign of emanation – make your energy reveal your glow, your vitality, and your state of mind. At this full moon – get in touch with your innermost energy and motivations.
