On September 16th
2016, the moon will enter the sign of Pisces. The Harvest moon is the last moon of the summer,
just prior to Autumnal Equinox. On top of the Full Moon in Pisces, We will
experience a Lunar Eclipse. This Eclipse, a Penumbral, is the shadow of Earth the
passing across the surface of moon, giving it a reddish tinge. It will not be
visible for us in America as it will occur at 9:54amPDT/12:54amEDT While not
the last lunar eclipse it will be the last Penumbral one until 2024.
Lunar Eclipses, in astrology, provides greater insight into that
part of the consciousness of the planet that’s being eclipse. For example, the
lunar eclipses may make you very aware of some concern or issue, in this case
with regard to your needs.
Pisces is a mutable water sign that is both spiritual and intuitive.
It is seeks to unify the realms of the unconscious states and spiritual concerns
with consensus reality and day to day living. With the Moon’s emphasis upon needs (food, security,
and emotional support), the Full Moon in Pisces seeks to bring spiritual yearning
in alignment to ones practical needs. What will feed your body and your soul? Full Moons will give rise to such concerns,
often through the devices of fantasy and dreams at this time.
The difficult part of this next three days is that so much
will be occurring during this transit. Mercury retrograde is still in effect
and will hamper efforts at communication and plans. The Retrograde will
directly oppose the moon so expect conflicts between what you actually need and
what you think you need. Then Jupiter will be in direct opposition to the moon,
enhancing the type of choice one needs to sort through. Neptune, Pisces ruling
planet will also be involved, with its mystery and mystical powers further complicating
matters.
The proverbial silver lining in that Jupiter tends to lend a easy going, mellow energy to whatever
planet it interacts with, taking away
some of the more agitated aspect from the proceedings. And, with Jupiter in the
sign Libra, a balancing, sociable energy should help round out the transit.
Because Pisces can be a very sensitive and emotional sign, the
next few days may touch upon a variety feelings related to your needs. Because
the moon will be in conjunction with Neptune in Pisces, it will strengthen those
feeling even more. Neptune, which is the planet that creates Pisces, in conjunction
with the Moon in Pisces, will affect an almost super Pisces energy, making for
a more intense time than we normally get from a standard Full Moon.
While Full Moons are often incredibly productive times to most
endeavors, this Full Moon may prove a little tricky. The combination of the mystifying,
confusing influence of Neptune, the instability of lunar eclipse and the chaotic
energy of Mercury in retrograde may make September 16th-18th somewhat
crazy. Focus upon ongoing endeavors and, where possible, involve yourself into
matters that offer a chance at personal restoration or repairs to some area of
your life. Grounding physical activities could prove helpful also. Again, do
not seek to initiate new project if you can help it as you’ll encounter
resistance from the current retrograde.
This particular Full Moon is good time with regard to
divination and spiritual practices. Pisces is known for its strong intuitive
forces and coupled with the Moon, the planet that governs psychic and psychic phenomena,
the insights and esoteric knowledge to be obtain at this time may prove supremely
help. Neptune also governs healing, mystical and spiritual experiences, so such
workings might prove quite productive.
Pisces, these next three days may provide revelations’ on
matters that could improve your quality of life and state of mind. The flood of information may at times prove
overwhelm and considerable, but if you dwell upon those matters true to your
needs, you may find this period very rewarding.
Virgo, this an auspicious time to touch base with yourself and
determine what you really need. Make the most of this period to do a little internal
exploration. Because this moon is has a strong intuitive bent, let allow yourself
be guided to the fulfillment of those needs rather than actively pursuing them.
Don’t be surprised if you are already on
a the path to answering such questions.
Gemini’s and Sagittarians, This Moon may bring up many
emotions for you, some that might be at odds with one another. Your task at
this time is not to dwell upon any specific one but to consider the ones that
are most reoccurring. They will be the indication of what needs you may
possibly have ignored and should be addressing, especially after the retrograde,
which ends on Sept 21/22nd
The Harvest Moon, with its reddish hue may offer many ways
to help you get your needs met. As you peer into the Pisces Moon, consider the
ways to secure and attain that which feeds you.
