Feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, extra-sensitive, dazed and confused, tired and wired?? Me too!
Welcome to the Pisces Lunar Eclipse, an uber-potent Full Moon that brings to the surface whatever has been hidden, repressed, denied or avoided. Emotional energy is running high, secrets are being revealed, and changes that have been developing behind the scenes are now catalyzed into action.
This Eclipse signifies a major completion, a release of what you’ve outgrown, a purging of the past to make space for a new dream to emerge. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the sign of spiritual surrender, where you dissolve back into the ocean of consciousness and know yourself as an infinite being, at one with all of life and with Source itself.
Amplifying the watery, sensitive and potentially confusing nature of this Eclipse, the Moon conjoins with Neptune, God/Goddess of the ocean, the modern ruler of Pisces. The higher potential of this Eclipse is to light up and dissolve any self-sabotaging patterns, to free you from the illusions and addictions that keep you stuck and small.
This Eclipse wants to open you to your BIG self, your soul self, to replenish and renew your connection with Source, your faith in the Mystery. From that spiritually-connected state, a new dream is emerging, a new vision for your future and the future of the world. Powerful insights and messages are available through your dreams and intuition. Quiet time in or near water can feel supportive and healing, and you may need more rest or downtime than usual.
Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, is in Gemini and forms a challenging square (90-degree angle) to this Eclipse. Jupiter in airy, mental Gemini wants to analyze and understand, get the facts and figure out the “right” path forward. But the Piscean deluge confounds the logical mind, and the more you try to “make sense” the more confused and anxious you’re likely to feel.
Better to lean into the higher expression of Gemini - the Witness or Observer. Take a deep breath, step back from the drama (Eclipses can be VERY dramatic), and observe the chaos. This too shall pass, and often what seems like a Big Deal during Eclipse season ends up being a nothing burger on the other side. Journaling your observations and revelations can be helpful.
Mercury, planet of the mind and the ruler of Gemini, is powerful in its other home sign of Virgo - also the sign of its exaltation. Mercury in Virgo advises getting grounded in the here-and-now, in your body and immediate environment, and leaning into the practices, routines and rituals that help calm your nervous system.
Mercury opposes Saturn, calling for focused attention, and setting limits on what you allow into your mind and environment. At this highly sensitive time, when your thoughts have more power to affect the collective dream, focus on what you want to create, your ideals, how you want to serve - rather than getting sucked into negative thought forms or pointless arguments about right and wrong.
Eclipses can serve as portals into new realities, and the way forward is through the Mystery, the fog of the unknown, the fertile darkness of infinite potential. “Feeling is healing” and there’s a lot to feel at this Eclipse. Instead of defaulting into the distorted or shadow expression of Pisces – escapism, addiction, denial… – trust that if you allow yourself to fully FEEL whatever arises, if you can ride the (tidal) wave of emotions, liberation is on the other side.
For more insight into what this Full Moon Eclipse means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 25° Pisces. The areas of life signified by that house are where events are coming to culmination, fruition or completion, and where you’re invited to:
let go of, grieve and dissolve the past;
become aware of and FEEL what you’ve been denying, repressing or avoiding;
break free from illusion;
open to guidance from your dreams, intuition and imagination;
reconnect with your spiritual source, expand into your infinite self, and receive an infusion of divine love;
surrender having to have all the answers or the perfect plan and trust the mysterious flow of life;
and allow for more acceptance, compassion and forgiveness.
