This morning at 6:58a PDT, the Moon went Full in Pisces opposite the Virgo Sun. Being the second Full Moon in the month of August 2012, this is known in folk lore as a “blue moon”.
Of course, this sparks all kinds of wonderful, dreamy wish-come-true fantasy, perfect for a Full Moon in Pisces. Pisces is known for its dreamy and idealistic qualities. In fact, Pisces’ imaginative presence can have us coming up with all kinds of fantastic notions about what could happen “once in a blue moon”.
However, as much as you may want to go completely into dreamland, you may find that today (and the next couple of days) is more about keeping your feet on the ground while your head is a bit more in the sky than usual. Being at the end of the Virgo 4 cycle we’ve been in for the last 9 days, there is an awareness that today is the last day for really planning the plans you’ve been planning in order to bring the dreams you’ve been dreaming into tangible and practical forms. As we move into Virgo 5 energy tomorrow, the changes we’ve been planning to make are likely to begin taking root.
Pisces energy is not only about idealism and fantasy. It is about compassion, unconditional love, forgiveness and alignment with our spiritual Truth. It is the giving of our attention and service to others as expression of those qualities through charity and philanthropy, growing and expanding our loving natures beyond ourselves as outwardly as possible. Pisces represents that which inspires us with a vision of an ideal world in which we all recognize our interconnection and have compassion for each other. It represents our Oneness with All-That-Is.
The Pisces Full Moon tries to bring us into greater awareness of this Oneness. It calls upon us to take a moment from our detailed planning and plotting to check in with ourselves emotionally, spiritually, and collectively. The following questions are at hand:
- How do the details of your plans look and especially feel in the Light of the Oneness? Do they feel good (as in loving and positive)? Do they help you feel peaceful and secure within yourself, or anxious and unsettled within yourself?
- In the face of All-That-Is and all that possibly can be, you may realize just how many options there are to manifest your dreams and intentions. Are your plans and intentions specific enough? Are they even big enough?
- Big plans and intentions require great faith. However, are your plans and intentions so far removed from the reality you are currently in that they might be considered rather delusional, unrealistic or “wishful thinking”? If so, what are more practical and realistic perceptions of your goals and intentions that will help you see the possibilities or steps available to you here and now to help you move toward actual manifestation of your goals?
- Are your plans and intentions compassionate, loving, and/or aligned with your inner spiritual Truth? Do you believe that you can fulfill your plans by taking actions that are also in alignment with your emotional and spiritual inner Truth?
Intuitively, you know the best course of action and intention for your plans to be implemented and your dreams to come true. The Full Moon in Pisces encourages you to TRUST YOURSELF! Trust your intuitions. Trust your insights. Trust your gut when it has you feeling a certain way (tense or relaxed) when you are thinking a thought or when an idea passes through your head. Tension is a ‘no’. Relaxed and peaceful is a ‘yes’.
And it is very possible that relaxed and peaceful feeling may surprise you or scare you if it doesn’t align with what you are thinking about the situation or circumstance. TRUST IT ANYWAY! If peace and ease come first, then that first answer is the correct answer. When it arises first, that inner peace and ease is your indicator that it’s the right choice – it’s the right path for you. Use your awareness of this energy to fine-tune your plans and intentions before you start implementing them over the next few weeks.
Who knows. By following those feelings of peace and ease as they first arise, you may find that “once in a blue moon” isn’t so far-fetched after all.
Keep your feet on the ground, your head to the sky, trust the peace and ease of your inner Truth…and enjoy the day!
~ Light, Love and blessings,
Grace
