FULL MOON IN PISCES
We'll be experiencing the Full Moon in Pisces at 28 degrees on the 20th/21st of September 2021.
My interpretation of this Full Moon highlights the process of release is incomplete without acceptance.
Bypassing is not synonymous to transformation. The way out is through, swimming parallel to shore.
The shadow of the New Moon in Virgo comes to light with this Full Moon in Pisces. We may recognise the extent of maladaptive coping techniques and narratives we hold at odds to the ways we strive for conscious balance: coating us in confusion as we sip on the sensitivities of ourselves and others.
This Moon invites us to activate our mysticism to illuminate both our dreams and our dogmas.
Where we can draw our swords of self-awareness to cut tangled, confused cords of empathy and enabling.
This energy will be most influential over the following fortnight until the New Moon in Libra, around October 6th 2021.

Before diving deep into the current cosmic configuration, if any intentions set around the New Moon in Pisces (March 2021) were seeded or set, I’d recommend checking in with ourselves or our personal records to take stock and interpret the journey thus far.
If you’d like to peruse the archives, you can check out my blog post here.
In a nutshell, March’s New Moon in Pisces was about the ways we could harness our empathy, our dreams and manifest the lives we wish to lead both internally and externally.
What has transpired since and has anything changed over the course of this time?
Are there any adjustments to make towards the gradient of rose tint which requires our attention?
What really captures our attention (or triggers our confusion) this Full Moon are the conjunctions and polarities at play between the Moon and Neptune in Pisces which is making an opposition to the Sun in the final degrees of Virgo and Mars in Libra - as seen in the chart above as the big ol’, back + forth red line across the middle of the chart.
Neptune is the planetary ruler of Pisces which leverages extra potency of its expression. Neptune rules mysticism, illusions, the ethereal, and the liminal.
Neptune’s conjunction to the Moon is like adding MSG to food. This additional influence can trick our tastes into delusions, confusions and escapism through substances for perceived support.
Seeking consolation via entertainment of outdated subconscious scripts. Chasing unhealthy yet destructively delicious ‘flavour’ when quite frankly we’re kind of already full AF.
Our bodies confused as we crave and cram our physical, emotional, intellectual and psychological palettes with we-aren’t-even-sure-what-anymore.
Crossing over to the Sun in Virgo and Mars in Libra: this influence, at odds with the collective Piscean disposition, expresses itself through conscious assertion and action.
When the Sun makes a conjunction to Mars, the fire of both of these planets ignites the flames within our being. It gives a powerful sense of drive, assertion and motivation towards what we desire.
It is best harnessed constructively as when expressed from shadow, this transit can have damaging consequences.
Mars rules the sister sign of Libra: Aries. So when Mars is in Libra it is considered to be at detriment, as the archetype of Mars expression is the total opposite of Libra. Rather than all guns blazing, confrontational drive towards conflict: Libra Mars ‘skrt-skrt’ mumble raps around any issues or tension in attempts to keep peace at the absolute cost of sense of self.
However, this detrimental Mars placement has the potential to be offset by Pluto’s power-play trine with the Sun in Virgo.
This cosmic configuration supports us to strengthen our self-awareness through the occult, bringing about deep and intense experiences. This facilitates the process of true transformation. Pluto energy is about deep excavation and could never be a shallow affair.
Pluto also rules elimination and purge which echoes the Virgoan archetype of cleanliness and order, supporting any endeavours towards a subconscious or habitual reset.
The Moon and Neptune sextile to Pluto Retrograde supports the pioneering spirit of evolution, transformation and change.
This strengthens the awareness around collective consciousness, navigating the upheaval and the unprecedented. It also strengthens how we navigate our emotions through the dismantling of outdated paradigms: political, social and cultural.
This transit shines a light on where to draw the line between Neptunian dreams and fantasies. We have the opportunity to dissect, discern and challenge our defences to deepen self-understanding, collectively.
Combining Pluto’s extraction qualities squaring off with Mercury in Libra, this energy can potentially expose dark dogmas held: taking our Mercurial communications and ways of thinking to absolute extremes, unafraid to convince and project these views towards others.
Think along the lines of conspiracy, aligned with some of the recent events that have been accumulating over the past 18 months.
Jupiter Retrograde’s expansive energy in Aquarius will be chiming in its influence as it trines to Mercury in Libra.
This aspect and expression of Jupiter amplifies Mercury in Libra: which is diplomatic and conscientious.
As we strengthen our collective awareness, Jupiter’s energy can provide the strength and support for Mercury’s expression to remain balanced and diplomatic.
In its shadow and the Plutonian square, we can also see this expression as fickle, indecisive and heightened by Neptunian confusion.
I mentioned in September’s Numerology and New Moon in Virgo blog themes of karmic flair that the vibration 14/5 holds as the Universal Month number.
We can see this activated with the Grand Air Trine between Mars in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius and the North Node in Gemini. The North Node represents the direction of the collective destiny. The expression of the North Node in Gemini strives for communication, discerning the details, fact-checking and governs short-distance travel.
With Saturn’s ‘Father Time’ flair, its rigid and ruling, boundary enforced restrictions paired with Mars’ drive currently expressed through diplomacy provides an interesting karmic backdrop to how any collective events can transpire moving forward.
How do we move through confusions, illusions and information overwhelm?
How do we connect and affirm with our core beliefs during unprecedented times and in what ways does this impact our relationship to the collective at large?
Saturn will also be making a square to Venus in Scorpio which is in opposition to Uranus in Taurus: a huge transit we’ve been experiencing throughout 2021.
This can manifest itself in delays, disruptions and the unexpected around Venusian values such as our interpersonal relationships, finances and our core values.
We may experience feeling additional stresses and abrupt changes around these areas of our lives: with the Moon and Neptune contributing towards surfacing any feelings of subconscious fears, criticisms and activated outdated scripts.
Collectively, this energy internalises the external: the individually expressed shared disruptions and upheaval we’ve been working through over the past 18 months.
This energy is best navigated with the ‘tried and true’, adopting a critical yet open minded approach towards research, examining our thoughts, communications and strengthening self-awareness in order to navigate global, muddy terrain.
I pulled some cards and created some journal prompts to reflect and further contemplate navigating these energies, so you can check that out below.
