Harvest Moon in Pisces ~ Uncomfortable Emotional Waters
Life began in water. We are made of 70% water, and astrologically water is the strongest element due to it’s nature of non-resistance. This full moon on Sept 13th, 2019 in Pisces is a very watery full moon indeed. Conjunct Neptune (which is still in retrograde) this moon carries a strong Neptunian flavor, and Neptune rules the oceans and the churning waves of our emotions. So this harvest moon will carry us to the world hidden from our view, a world we can only navigate through feeling.
The other aspects that this moon is making is an opposition to Mars and square to Jupiter, which in turn are square to each other. Both Mars and Jupiter are masculine planets and in the square position, they do tend to pose a rather explosive combination, and with elusive Neptune aspecting them, we are going to be face to face with some rather uncomfortable emotions. These emotions will probably include anger (Mars), but this is repressed anger or passive aggressiveness, which is evasive and tricky. The thing is, we will probably want to ignore these uncomfortable emotions or not deal with them (Neptune rules escapism). There might even be a desire to escape through the use of a drug of our choice, which can range from an actual substance to sex or even spirituality, to hide from what we are actually feeling and need to confront.
The Jupiter and Mars energy though, is almost demanding that we confront these difficult feelings though, because that is where the power lies. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars in Virgo, we might be tempted to use our mind and think our way out of our discomfort. But the realm of the mind is not enough to bring awareness to what we are afraid to look at. The mind will only play games of distractions that keep us in the very patterns we now have an opportunity to break.
The thing is, there is a reason for this discomfort, and that reason is a movement within our energy field. So if we allow ourselves to dive into the waters of emotional discomfort, what we will experience is transformation. And through this transformation we then have a chance at illuminating parts of us that are still in darkness.
So let the light of the full moon assist you in the creative process of your life. Let go of resistance and flow.
“Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.” ~ Bruce Lee
Under the full moon, you can use this Sound Healing Meditation as a ritual or tool. Find a comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. If you’re doing this at night, you may want to light a blue candle. This meditation is designed to help you work with the element of water within your psyche and your energy body. Create this space for yourself and let yourself heal.
