PIsces Full Moon - Dream Sequence

Every year before the Sun sets into Autumn we have a Pisces Full Moon, a time of sensitivity, dreaming and illusion which counter-balances the Sun's progress through Virgo the sign of analysis, discrimination and detail. It's the mutation of late Summer into Fall and a soft, reflective time to give attention to our inner worlds and the imaginal realm for a moment.

Pisces is a mutable water sign and the most elusive sign being the final act in the 12-fold process of the Zodiac. Pisces and the 12th house contain with it the accumulated experience of all preceding signs making it a kind of iridescent, vortexing cloud. The fullness of it is paradoxically a zen-like emptiness and Piscean types can be labeled as "air heads" or "space cadets". While there is some truth to this it would be a mistake to assume there is nothing going on in those minds. Often there is a great deal going on but it is visual and emotive rather than words and concepts.

Mutability is changeability and the process of mutation from one thing into another. Water is the emotional, intuitive and reflective quality in life and together they are constantly changing, shifting and shimmering. This quality brings with it great imagination and a kind of glamour or  charisma but the shadow is delusion and escapism which often ends in addiction. At it's best Pisces is about divine inspiration, unconditional love and compassion that comes from having experienced the other signs and completed a circuit in the circle of life.


This Opposition of the Sun in Virgo with Moon in Pisces is reflected  by the planetary rulers of Virgo & Pisces in a Square aspect occurring at the same time. It underscores the balance needed between big ideas and the detailed steps that make it possible to bring them into reality. Expect some kind of resistance or issue to resolve. Mercury (Virgo) is details and Jupiter (Pisces) is the big picture. When the two square off there can be problems with minding details or getting impatient with the small stuff.

It's punctuated by the rare alignment of Venus, North node and Saturn in the sign of Scorpio just a few degrees shy of the upcoming Solar Eclipse in November. Take note of events at this time as they could become more important later...

Serious Love : Venus - Saturn - Node conjunction

From the Virgo New Moon report: 

 Just before the Full Moon a rare conjunction alignment of Venus, Saturn and the North Node will occur. Both the node and Saturn take over 28 years to cycle through the zodiac so it's not common that they meet up at the same time. Those who are personally aspected by this alignment may experience significant turns in their life regarding relationships, females and art/beauty.

In aspect to other planets the Nodes indicate unions with others, often with some sort of connection that is serendipitous, 'karmic' or familial. They are also seen with turning points, forks in the road and critical events in our lives. When the Node and Saturn combine there can sometimes be a binding (or separating) of an important relationship with an elder or a long-term commitment is made or broken. Remember Saturn binds and severs things. It doesn't expand them, sweeten them or inflame. It binds, supports, stabilizes or hacks it off at the wrist.

Adding Venus into the mix blends the theme of Love and money or things related to socializing, luxury, gifts, decorations, art, beauty, ect. While things may be social or beauty related, they won't necessarily be playful and fun. Saturn is official and austere so if there is a party it will have some measure of repression and the small talk will be work-related. No one will get too drunk and if there is dancing it will likewise reflect the old-fashioned and dour nature of Saturn.

The alignment becomes exact Sep 17-18 which is a Tuesday-Wednesday. The Moon in Piscses makes a Trine aspect to the alignment around 8-9pm Tuesday night and may soften and relax the pairing and could be enough softness to make it bearable. For those that are easily bored or uncomfortable with formality, this could be a bit awkward. Others will really enjoy the classiness of the period.
