Super Blue Moon in Pisces

The Biggest and brightest (Blue) Moon of the year is almost here, the next time will only be seen in 2037. The term Blue Moon is most commonly used when we have two full Moons in a single month. On Wednesday, August 30, the Full Moon will peak at  9:36 P.M. 

During this Super Full Blue Moon on the 30th August, the Sun moved into Virgo, Mercury stationing retrograde in Virgo, and the presence of other planets like Mars and Pallas in Virgo, related to the potential effects on self-care, healing, and personal development.

In astrology, Virgo and Pisces are two signs with distinct qualities and energies, and their interaction during these times is often interpreted in certain ways. Here’s a breakdown of the elements:

1. Virgo Season: Virgo is associated with qualities such as practicality, attention to detail, organization, and a focus on health and service. During Virgo season, which typically occurs from late August to late September, these energies are thought to be amplified.
2. Full Moon in Pisces: A full moon occurs when the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, resulting in its fully illuminated appearance. Pisces is associated with creativity, intuition, compassion, and a connection to the spiritual and emotional realms.

The contrast between Virgo’s analytical and practical nature and Pisces’ dreamy and emotional qualities creates an interesting dynamic.

• Opening Minds and Emotions: Virgo’s analytical nature encourages us to focus on details, logic, and practical matters. However, the full moon in Pisces challenges us to broaden our perspective, consider the bigger picture, and connect with our emotions on a deeper level.
• Balancing Practicality and Intuition: During this time, the challenge could be to find a balance between the grounded and practical approach of Virgo and the intuitive and emotional approach of Pisces. It’s about recognizing the value of both perspectives and integrating them.
• Self-Care and Emotional Well-Being: The energies of this full moon may encourage us to pay attention to our emotional well-being and engage in self-care practices. While Virgo season might prompt us to focus on external tasks, the Pisces full moon reminds us to take care of our inner world as well.
• Reflecting and Releasing: Full moons are often seen as a time for reflection, releasing what no longer serves us, and embracing change. Pisces’ intuitive energy could aid in letting go of emotional baggage or embracing new insights.

The astrological dynamics surrounding the full moon in Pisces, highlighting the influence of Saturn’s presence in Pisces and its opposition to the sun in Virgo.

1. Serious Air Amidst Whimsy: The contrast between Pisces’ dreamy and boundless nature and Saturn’s influence of boundaries and responsibility is highlighted. This could create a tension between the usual whimsical and carefree vibe of a full moon in Pisces and the more serious and structured energy brought in by Saturn.
2. Expectation and Limitlessness: The opposition between the moon in Pisces and the sun in Virgo can result in a clash between Pisces’ desire for limitlessness and Virgo’s focus on practicality and rules. Expectations and routines might be challenged during this time.
3. Saturn’s Influence: Saturn’s role as the planet of boundaries and responsibilities adds a layer of structure and maturity to the full moon’s energies. This could lead to a heightened awareness of duties and tasks, potentially dampening the usual free-spiritedness of Pisces.
4. Balancing Imagination and Reality: The full moon in Pisces encourages engagement with imagination and emotions. However, Saturn’s presence calls for grounding and keeping a connection to reality. Finding a balance between these two aspects is suggested.
5. Emotional Expression: The full moon in Pisces often brings about emotional intensity, where people might express their feelings, fears, and fantasies. Saturn’s influence could temper this emotional expression, encouraging a more balanced and mature approach.
6. Balance Between Emotion and Practicality: The overall theme seems to center around finding a middle ground between emotional authenticity and practical responsibilities. This involves acknowledging emotions without being overwhelmed by them and integrating imaginative pursuits with real-world duties.

More to look at:

1. Venus Retrograde and Jupiter Square: The connection between Venus retrograde in Leo and its square to Jupiter in Taurus suggests a potential period of rebalancing after a dramatic situation. This could involve themes of indulgence versus abstinence, with moderation being crucial to resolving issues. Venus retrograde prompts a reassessment of values and desires, particularly regarding loyalty and commitment.
2. Discernment and Focus: The square between Venus and Jupiter underscores the need for discernment in managing commitments, time, and energy. The suggestion is to prioritize and commit to what truly matters, rather than spreading oneself too thin.
3. Decision-Making and Grand Gestures: Venus retrograde’s influence implies decision-making about where to invest loyalty and focus. A grand gesture could be an outcome of this process.
4. Mercury Retrograde and Jupiter Alignment: The alignment of Mercury retrograde with Jupiter in Taurus is significant during this full moon. As Mercury rules Virgo and Jupiter rules Pisces, their trine alignment suggests a beneficial aspect for communication, learning, and expansion. This alignment may lead to the discovery of previously overlooked details or information.
5. Ease in Communication and Expansion: The Mercury-Jupiter trine indicates favorable conditions for communication, learning, and understanding. It might provide an opportunity to gain insights or knowledge that uplift and expand one’s perspective.
6. Lucky and Uplifting Influences: The alignment between Mercury and Jupiter during the full moon implies positive and fortunate influences. Learning something new or gaining a broader perspective may have an uplifting effect.

Finally, full moons are periods of release, making this a powerful time to say goodbyes, end old habits, and change our patterns. As we assess what we want to hold on to, we might get lost examining all the pros and cons of what should stay and what should go. Virgo season can find us zeroing in on details, but between the full moon in expansive Pisces and Mercury’s alignment with Jupiter, new perspectives could bring us into better balance with ourselves emotionally and with each other as a community.
