Full Moon in Pisces: September 10th, 2022
How to Use This Blog
I create horoscopes because they can be used as a tool for introspection and reflection. When observing the outside world from a general perspective, I recognize that we receive very little encouragement from working on developing and understanding our inner world. Use the information provided in this blog for material to prompt guided introspection.
Background Information
When using Astrology as a tool for healing and introspection (within the realm of Natal Astrology), the planets can be viewed as energies representing different parts of our nature or frequencies that resonate with and influence different parts of our nature. They show us that we are comprised of many parts that make a whole. The zodiac signs can be viewed as the atmospheres through which the different parts of our nature (the planets) express themselves. Lastly, the astrological houses can be considered as the various life areas that make up our lives. From this viewpoint, interpreting horoscopes can be easier to digest and more practical for immediate implementation.
Reminder: The study of Astrology is from the perspective of the Earth looking out towards the cosmos. In other words, Astrology is an Earth-based natural science. Having this piece of context at the back of the mind can be a helpful best practice when discussing anything related to the study of Astrology.
Full Moon and New Moon 101
Full Moons are always in the opposite sign of the Sun. For example, on May 16th, 2022, there was a total lunar eclipse in the sign Scorpio, and the Sun was in the sign Taurus. Scorpio and Taurus are opposites signs. On the other hand, New Moons always occur within the same sign, the Sun. For example, On July 28th the Sun was in the sign Leo, along with the new Moon.
What You Came For
On Saturday, September 10th, 2022, there will be a full Moon in the water sign Pisces. It aligns with the planet Neptune retrograde (the modern ruler of Pisces) in the sign Pisces. While the atmosphere of Pisces is commonly known for fantasy, enchantment, and escape, the Neptune retrograde reveals the opposite. Expect the veil to be raised in situations that feel confusing or ambiguous.
Pisces 101
The atmosphere of the sign Pisces teaches us how to use faith and trust to our advantage when we do not have concrete evidence of achieving our desires. Our intuition is heightened under this influence and is the best tool for navigation. On the contrary, when we cannot recognize the alignment needed to connect with our intuition, we become susceptible to fall for illusions and delusions created out of our ideals. Acceptance is the primary key here. Accepting that life is the way it is, that you are the way you are and that those around you are the way they are will destroy the environment for delusion and allow you to exist in reality.
Neptune 101
The planet Neptune personifies the energy of spirituality, transcendence, refinement and purification. When this planet is in a prograde motion, determining whether the themes above are present requires the use of our intuition and the tools provided within the atmosphere of Pisces. When this planet is in retrograde motion, however, recognizing the above themes requires our ability to see what is present before us in plain sight. The veil that separates the unseen and seen worlds lifts, and the rose-coloured glasses come off. Accepting the truths that reveal themselves during this period can feel groundbreaking and challenging to stomach; for this reason, many will pretend to be blind, silently contributing to their suffering. When Neptune is retrograde, trust what you see.
Horoscope
It is time to accept the truth that you have been avoiding. Running away from your feelings does not make them go away; it only delays your ability to feel them. Remember that your feelings are a form of information, and attempting to use the faculties of the mind to process information designed for the heart will only lead to misunderstanding. Deep emotions will be revealed to you under this full Moon in Pisces if you surrender to the release of outdated delusions you have been carrying concerning your self-worth. Whenever our self-worth becomes a focus, it can be hard to process those feelings. However, they are present to show you something worth knowing, so allow yourself to be open to receive their insight.

Conclusion

Understand that your feelings are valuable pieces of information that can not only assist you in developing your connection with your intuition but can also help you accept the realities that appear before you, whether it is a person, place or situation. Using the mind to process your feelings will lead to the surfacing of heavy emotions, which can be avoided if you open your heart and use it as a tool for understanding. The ability to feel is not a weakness; avoiding it is.
