September 1, 2020 — The Pisces Full Moon arrives on Tuesday, at 10:22pm Pacific Time, sparking us to release our clinging and solid ego identities, and to embrace our grief, heartbreak, and uncertainty. Neptune is in wide conjunction to the Moon, and his lessons are never easy, particularly if we resist. He dissolves boundaries and forces us to surrender to the tides. We have no choice but to trust the Universe and our unfolding, even if it makes no sense to us now. Faith is key—faith in the basic goodness of all beings and the unfurling of our paths, even if we’re now experiencing tremendous fear or loss.

With Venus opposite to Saturn and Pluto, matters of the heart could be both explosive and painful, and we may feel anxiety or depression seeping in. With Mars in Aries preparing to station retrograde, old anger and triggers could also surface. The idea is to rally our warriorship and return to center and ground, knowing deeply within our hearts that all feelings pass like weather and leave wisdom in their wake, if we first embrace the storm.

Luckily, Uranus is trining the Sun and sextiling the Moon, which means that positive breakthrough is likely. We only need to relax, remember our highest dreams, and allow the waves to wash away all that we need to let go—all that’s dividing us and keeping us in hatred and separation. We might also need to release or adjust relationships that aren’t reflecting back our profound worthiness and dignity. Deeper love and heart expansion are now possible, but they require a healthy dose of Virgoan realism, boundaries, and respect.

What are our highest dreams? What do we need to let go of in order to align more fully with our ideals, both personally and collectively? How have we been unconsciously or consciously sabotaging our visions of the future? 

These are not easy times. The Virgo Sun is reminding us to help each other, and to reach out if we need the support. We can look to people who feel stronger than us now to hold us if we’re losing hope. And if we feel strong, it’s now time to reach out to those around us to offer our support, life rafts, and resources, so we can keep our fellow warriors afloat. 

Even if our hearts are experiencing obscuration, we can remember that our true essence is to love each other, and that our highest selves always do. Ultimately, we don’t just love, we are love. And if we’re able to surrender, Neptune is here to plunge us into the memory of our primordial loving essence.

In the stormy seas of change, uncertainty, and heartbreak, may we surrender to the tides, trusting them to lead us to better waters. May we embrace ourselves and each other, offering support through these challenges of being human, while remaining whole and remembering our inherent oneness.
