Moon-light
In this section, I spend more time diving into the cosmic tonality of this rare moon and what it might manifest on your way across the next two to four weeks.
The Moon is currently bathing in deep still waters so whatever you currently FEEL is likely to get incredibly enhanced during the next few days and possibly weeks.
For some, this will be a beautiful full moon, inviting us to bring the final touches to our plans and relax a little indulging into either silence, music or poetry for a moment of deep reconnection.
Happening at the equinox, when nights and days are exactly equal, the invitation in the Virgo-Pisces axis is obviously to BALANCE DOING AND NON-DOING. Something we are likely to find easier to say than to practice.
For most however, this Full Moon might have a totally different flavor. Especially the 3rd decan of Mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces and Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
This full moon will heighten our sensitivity, might dissolve one too many boundaries, get us to change mood very quickly and either literally send us on cloud nine or create a very confusing and potentially toxic environment.
WHETHER OUR PLANS HAVE BEEN BUILT ON DREAMS OR NIGHTMARES, THEY ARE STILL LIKELY TO BE FAR FROM COMPLETION OR ABSOLUTE CLARITY BUT THE URGE TO ACT WILL NOW GROW MORE OPPRESSING.
Mars started to join the Sun and Moon dance during the last new moon on Sep 7 and will be bringing his feisty fire energy up to the beginning of November for the New Moon in Scorpio, a sign traditionally ruled by the God of War and encouraging us to act, whatever the dangers.
Its power will culminate around the next new moon in Libra (Oct 7) when Sun, Moon and Mars will all be conjunct to strengthen our resolve to see peace, justice and harmony emerge into our lives.
But our hero’s journey will certainly be paved with a few necessary freedom fights around the two flanking full moons: this moon and the Full Moon in Aries (Oct 22), also ruled by Mars.
As our deepest desires are becoming clearer, our passions are getting stronger, our fighting spirit, ambitions and impatience are also growing sharper.
Any obstacle on our way will become harder to accept, generating more and more frustration. As Mars has just moved into Libra, ANY INJUSTICE IS LIKELY TO BRING RESENTMENT TO THE SURFACE and if left unexpressed could turn into anger and bring violent outbursts if the energy is not properly channeled into healthy competitive activities.
This Full Moon is in Pisces, so WE ARE LIKELY TO INTERNALIZE THIS ANGER, SACRIFICE OURSELVES, TRY TO BE OF SERVICE SO THAT PEACE AND HARMONY CAN BE MAINTAINED…
This might not however be the best strategy… If you haven’t regularly purged, channeled, exhausted or vented this very instinctual energy all along the period, the Full Moon in Aries is likely to see it burst in a very aggressive fashion.
For now, the Moon is opposite Mars, our personal desires will be very strong but their chance to be fulfilled rather low, especially if they are of a self-centric nature. Prone to be short tempered, the cosmic mix for this full moon is rather explosive and as the Pluto – Eris square will be activated by Mercury in Libra, we are likely to see first occurrences of domestic violence and abuse pop up as the manifestation of either an incapacity to express one’s emotional desire strongly enough or the adoption of a submissive stance for the sake of maintaining harmony at all costs.
Remember that this is only the 1st chapter… of a play in 3 acts which will pivot around the New Moon in Libra and the Mercury retrograde.
As always, you are invited to be mindful of how this energy will build up for you in the previous couple of days.
If you see irritation and frustration emerging, your energy will be best channeled into either a competitive activity or a community effort.
If you start picking up on others’ energy, you might want to isolate yourself during this new moon.
The above might be hard to implement so you will do well to remember the following:
Up to the end of the month, we will be particularly PARTICULARLY BLESSED WITH EXTREMELY STRONG MENTAL CAPABILITIES SUPPORTIVE OF OUR PERSONAL SUCCESS, EMANCIPATION EFFORTS AND LONG-TERM PLANS.
The biggest risk with this type of configuration is that we waste it in rather anecdotal conversations and fail to channel it into truly constructive activities.
Also note that the energy of the full moon will be rather slow to build and unfold. The Mercury retrograde that will kick off on Sep 25 and last up to Oct 19 in the sign of Libra will further complicate matters in our current relationships and partnerships.
How we relate might require a little update or drastic upgrade.
Confusing situations, delays, technical glitches might point you out to the need to push the pause button and ponder on it. You might have to deal with a situation completely different than the one you expected. Truly NOT the time to make any kind of decision. Until this retrograde is over, all the cards won’t have been dealt.
Finding balance between the urge to change, our impatience to start with our new path and delaying our decision on the final action plan might well be the real challenge of this full moon in its many nervous triggers.
Our success is likely to depend on the space we will have managed to create between our own conflicting thoughts and emotions, others’ negative vibrations and a place of silence and rest, as well as on the controlled release of this fighting spirit into healthier channels.
May the light of wisdom and awakenings shine on your path to evolution
With compassion
