Full Moon in Pisces, 8/31/12


Pay attention!  Summer is shifting into autumn right before your eyes.  It’s HARVEST SEASON, meaning it’s time to reap what you’ve sewn.  That said, I hope you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get down to business because playtime is coming to a close.

First, there was Mars moving from Libra into Scorpio on 8/23, thrusting you off the fence, & committing your efforts to your truest longings.

Next, on 8/30, the lunar nodes enter the Taurus/Scorpio axis, where they’ll be traveling for the next one & a half years.  This means it’s time to choose those pursuits that are rooted in your deepest understandings of Truth (yes, with a capitol T).  The temptation will be to worry about money, & to take the safe route, but know that during this transit the safe route is the low route.  The point of healing for the next year and a half will be to step more fully into your power, & to use that power with a commitment to the core of all truth, which ultimately can be boiled down to one, single thing:

LOVE.

Break it down.  Anything you care about ultimately stems from love.  Anything you fear also ultimately stems from love, but a love that’s caught in the hall of mirrors known as Attachment.

Hence your homework follows thusly:
What of my current involvements, relationships & skills are rooted in my deepest love?  How can I cleanly extricate myself from anything that is not rooted in my deepest love?  Where am I playing it safe, &/or making decisions based on financial & security-based fears?

And in order to expose any lack of personal integrity:
Am I using my power from a place of love or a place of fear?

Beware - that last question throws you right into your personal hall of mirrors that cannot be successfully navigated by the intellect.  You must access your heart to know that truth.  Please review the exercise in my previous posting to learn one technique of accessing your heart.  I will be sharing some other heart centering & opening techniques at a free event on Bainbridge Island on Thursday, September 13th, & in Seattle on Monday, September 17th.  Email me for details.

Do this work now, & you’ll have an easier time with Saturn’s two & a half years transit through Scorpio, which begins in early October.  It’s time to register for my Saturn & His Cycles workshop in Seattle on Monday, October 1st.

This nodal shift colors our Pisces full moon a deeper hue.  Normally, we’d be using this full moon to creatively connect with an ideally altruistic vision we want to bring into material reality in a practical way.  This particular full moon, however, is both extra yearningly idealistic, due to the influence of both Neptune & Chiron in Pisces, & forced into being realistic due to a tense relationship with the lunar nodes.  This puts that dreamy Pisces mentality to the test, & forces you to confront your fears.

The low road with this configuration is a desire to throw in the towel, to attach yourself to the idea that your big dream can’t work, that you’ll never get what you want, etc.  Even worse, you can get caught in thinking about how everyone other than you gets what they want.  All such thinking is a lie, designed to keep you safe from the risks & effort involved in making dreams come true.  Nothing is so difficult as translating ideas into actuality.  Nor is anything so rewarding as seeing what was once a glimmer transformed into some tangible experience.  When in doubt, remember that everything you see, hear, taste, feel & smell was once a dream.

Here are some leading questions to help you effectively navigate through the high road of this configuration:
How & why am I afraid of stepping into the fullness of my power?  How am I being overly idealistic?  (hint: dreams are necessarily different than their manifested reality)  What compromises do I need to make in order to make my dreams come true? 

Well, that ought to keep you busy for a couple of weeks.  In the meantime, you may enjoy visiting my etsy shop, where you can purchase postcards of the collages you see on this site.  If you need some help navigating these energetic shifts & jerks, contact me for some private astrological perspectives or energetic healing.

Thanks for reading, & have a wonderful couple of weeks!
