Full Moon Meditation: Pisces 2019

Pisces Full Moon 2019

The Sun entered the sign of Pisces at 3:04 pm, (PST) on Monday, February 18th. The next day we celebrate another super full moon, as the moon is again at perigee, meaning very close to the earth. We can expect our feeling natures to be overly stimulated and highly sensitive with the moon this close to the Earth.

This month we are invited to balance the energies of the Pisces sun with the Virgo moon. Water and earth join in an attempt to move with the fluidity of water while still keeping our feet on Mother Earth. Pisces always envisions the mystical, the highest possibility, and the ideal manifestation. Virgo says, “That’s all good, but you also live in physical reality and must obey the laws of nature.” How do you engage with the earth energies to help you manifest your Piscean visions?

Pisces – Virgo Axis

People born with strong Pisces energy in their charts often live in a visionary, dream world that doesn’t always include the reality of life as it is. Because they seek the highest in all things, they don’t easily face a sober reality. They are saddled with the opposition of Spirit and Matter, the experience of duality, and find it difficult to unite them. This duality can be seen as the opposition between the Soul and the personality and is symbolized by the glyph for Pisces, two fishes, standing upright, joined by a connecting line.

Some descriptive words for Pisces are the dreamer, the mystic, the idealist, the martyr, the victim, the lost soul. At its highest expression, Pisces dreams of how she can serve. But expressing the lower octave of this energy, she can give her all in an attempt to save the world and thus martyr herself or begin to feel victimized by her sacrifices.

Virgo is the perfect balance for the Piscean energy as she brings the stability, the groundedness, and practicality that makes manifestation possible. When Virgo’s discerning mind meets Pisces feeling nature, heart and mind can connect in a balanced way.

Mars and Uranus

This full moon is highly charged with Mars and Uranus playing an important role. Uranus is in the 29th degree of Aries, and that can manifest as a sense of real urgency. Something needs to happen, and it needs to happen now. When we combine that with the impatient energy of Mars, we have a combination that could reach a boiling point around some issue. Mars is in the sign of Taurus, earth. Uranus is in the sign of Aries, fire.

When fire and earth meet, it can be likened to volcanic heat. Something that has been buried and hidden underground emerges with great fury and power. Are you aware of any issues that are present for you right now that might reach a boiling point for you in your own life? It could be something that you have tolerated to this point but can no longer contain. It may feel like somebody needs to take action. The question is: How can you take the required action and still come from a place of an open heart? Uranus always creates pressure for change. But what kind of change are you willing to make?

Holding the Energy

It always makes sense to stay optimistic about change, but we also need to face facts and keep our feet firmly on the ground. This full moon invites us to be courageous and willing to meet the lightning bolt of energy from Uranus. It also asks us to use our discerning minds to access what is manageable and realistic around schedules and time constraints. If we’ve been packing too much into our days and taking on too much responsibility, we may get a wakeup call from Uranus. Regardless of what changes may come our way we can stand solidly in our essence, joining heaven and earth within our bodies so that we may not waver as the lightning flashes around us.
