The Harvest Full Moon in Pisces

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A FULL MOON?

The Sun and Moon oppose each other in the sky, while the Earth resides in between the two planets. The juxtaposition and position of the planets create a glowing effect on the Moon that makes it look brighter than ever from the Earth’s perspective. Being that July 13 brings a Supermoon (the most major one of the year), it brings the Moon closer to Earth which will make the lunation appear bigger and more vibrant than ever. 

WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT?

The full moon represents the culmination of the 30-day lunar cycle. All of the projects that we’ve been working on for the past month reach an ending or hit a pivotal turning point. Change and growth have happened. Now is the time to reflect and enjoy the fruits of our labors.

WHEN DOES SEPTEMBER’S FULL MOON IN PISCES OCCUR?

The full moon peaks on September 10 at 2:59 a.m. PT and 5:59 a.m. ET. 

HERE'S WHERE THE HARVEST MOON GETS ITS NICKNAME.

The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon that occurs the closest to the Fall Equinox (which is on September 22). It marks a time when we are flowing in abundance because the harvest commences. 

WHAT DOES THE FULL MOON IN PISCES  MEAN, ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING?

The presence of the action planet Mars, who is in Gemini, creates a T-Square with the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Pisces, who oppose each other in the sky. Idealistic Uranus, who is retrograde in Taurus, and the Nodes of Destiny are in cosmic play as well. This means that we will be making fated emotional decisions about our intimate relationships during the Harvest Moon. If others cannot accept us for who we truly are, then the Uranunian energy will come out and push us to let go and align with people who love us unconditionally. 

WHAT RITUALS SHOULD YOU DO DURING THE FULL MOON?

• Stand outside or by a window. Practice your breathwork under the gaze of the Full Moon to breathe in the potency of the lunation. This will amplify the energy centers of the body and boost your vitality.

• Take a healing bath under the Pisces Full Moon with Epsom salt, a few drops of Juniper Berry essential oil to clear away the negative energy with amethyst crystals. 

• Most importantly, give yourself a moment to connect with yourself. The cosmic energy is frenetic and intense. You need a little time to relax and be present. Give yourself a break now — for at least 15 minutes if not more. 

THE FULL MOON HAS A MESSAGE FOR EACH ZODIAC SIGN.

Aries: Trust the messages that the universe is showing you and the psychic downloads you’re experiencing. You’ll be surprised by how much insight you already have. 

Taurus: Not being able to attain your goals doesn’t make you a failure — but not trying to isn’t acceptable. Believe in yourself to make sure your aspirations and dreams come to fruition. 

Gemini: Finding your place in the world is hard. As long as you have a good head on your shoulders you’ll be confident and secure in your footing.

Cancer: Higher-minded pursuits can illuminate your mind. Be open to igniting your comprehension of the universe through a new methodology. 

Leo: It’s ok to take a step back from the limelight and focus on yourself. Take time to heal, rest, and bring forth the positive attributes that you’re known for. 

Virgo: Intimate relationships feel like a lot of work, mostly because you have to give others 100% of your attention in order to make them feel seen by you. 

Libra: Being on top of mundane and day-to-day activities may feel like a chore now. But, the more you pay attention to them, the easier it’ll be to organize the other parts of your life. 

Scorpio: You’re always one to take calculated risks when it comes to love. Now, you’re wanting to dive into romantic matters head first — do as you wish as long as you’re happy. 

Sagittarius: Connect your brood by asking questions about your hand sisters. This is a great time to investigate your heritage and culture with your family.

Capricorn: if you’ve been extremely busy, this Full Moon is asking you to take a moment and rest. The gentler you are on your body, the easier it’ll be to tackle projects with care.

Aquarius: It’s important for you to understand your boundaries. Also, note how you can uphold the structure and limits with others that you designate in relationships.

Pisces: Allow yourself to feel your emotions during this Full Moon. Don’t hesitate in having a good cry that will release all of the tensions that lie within you.
