Horoscope & Affirmations: Pisces Full Moon, September 2022

When I think of the Virgo-Pisces axis, I see an hour glass. On the Virgo side of things, the sand gets almost pixelated, so clear you can see every detail on every piece of sand.

On the Pisces side of things, the sand turns to mist, almost disappearing, making it unclear where it starts and stops.

Mars in Gemini has me thinking about the dual nature of this world we live in. Gemini in general is about the relationship between things, and often reminds us we’re more alike than we are different… that two conflicting truths can be true at the very same time.

This Full Moon is your invitation to be present for both sides. Notice and acknowledge it all. Understand we all have a part to play. Understand you can’t have good without bad, hot without cold, Virgo without Pisces.

Saturday's Full Moon in Pisces happens just hours after Mercury, the planet ruling your mind and communication, stations retrograde in Libra.

The invitation of this Full Moon is staying present & open in your daily routines and your relationships.

The Sun and Venus in Virgo want refinement, the details ironed out, discernment and embodiment.

The Moon, Juno, and Neptune are reflecting the light of the Virgo Sun in Pisces, asking to release attachments, control and to acknowledge that we are all connected to something larger.

So where can you meet in the middle?

Mars in Gemini squaring off with both the Sun and Moon remind you that both are necessary simultaneously. These energies are more alike than they are different. So how do you meet the needs of both?

Being present. Embodiment of your sacred vessel.

Being present allows you to be open to receive the many possible experiences available to you while also being able to notice and take pleasure in the smaller details of your day.

Mercury retrograde in Libra, along with Venus in Virgo, and Juno in Pisces highlight refinements needed to your relationships, attachments, and expectations.

Staying present and open-minded in the evolution of your relationships is key. Release the need to judge. Be open to different outcomes.

Full Moon Affirmations for each sign:

Aries/Aries rising:

"Taking time for myself is as productive and valuable as completing my daily tasks."

With the Full Moon happening in the area of your chart that deals with finding the spiritual in the mundane, it's important to remember to fill your cup, Aries! A Pisces Full Moon can feel draining as well, and everyday tasks may just feel a bit harder than normal. Give yourself permission to rest and know that it's just as valuable as checking things off your to-do list.

Taurus/Taurus rising:

"I am an instrument by which creativity flows. I am attracting people and experiences that inspire and sustain me."

This Full Moon is illuminating your creative spark, Taurus! It's also calling attention to how your creativity and joy impacts your community and friend group. Don't hide that shine! Mercury will be retrograding in the area of your chart that relates to routines, health, and daily tasks. Be sure to bring some of your creativity and presence to this part of your life.

Gemini/Gemini rising:

"I am not defined by societal standards. I am not defined by my past. I own my power."

This Full Moon lights up the area of your life that relates to your career and public persona... but don't feel pressure to be a certain way! You get to determine what defines your character and what you want to be in the world. Your family life and past may be a part of your identity, but it by no means defines it.

Cancer/cancer rising:

"I have the power to move beyond my comfort zone. I have a deep well of inner strength to pull from."

You may not realize it right now, Cancer, but you have an unshakable strength within you. If you're struggling to get out of your comfort zone, or feel stuck, this Full Moon is a great opportunity to lean into what you need to release to become unstuck. Have compassion for yourself and notice the ways in which you may stunt your own growth. With Mercury retrograding in your 4th house of home life, there may be changes that need to be made. What needs to shift?

Leo/Leo rising:

"I don’t need to be perfect to be respected by my peers. I know my value runs deeper."

You bring immense value to all your relationships and commitments, Leo. You shine bright! This Full Moon illuminates your self-worth. You don't need to be perfect, you just need to show up. With Mercury retrograding in your 3rd house of communication, be sure to watch out for miscommunications... all the more reason to not pretend to be anything but yourself!

Virgo/Virgo Rising:

"I’m proud of who I am becoming. My strong sense of self allows me show up better in my relationships and my work in the world."

It's still your season, Virgo... which means this Full Moon is all about letting go of things that don't serve your highest and greatest good. You've been working hard on yourself and it's okay to show it. Confidence does not equal cockiness! Your ruling planet Mercury is now retrograde, so we know there's more work to be done. Embrace it as a journey. If anyone can make improvements, it's you!

Libra/Libra Rising:

"My value does not come from my productivity. I am connected to a higher power and a higher perspective."

With Mercury retrograde in your sign, it's bound to make you feel unbalanced, Libra! This Full Moon lights up the area of your chart that deals with daily tasks, routines and productivity... but remember to balance that by filling your own cup and taking time for the spiritual side of life. This year is all about releasing old stories you tell yourself about your self-worth, so take this Mercury retrograde as an opportunity to work through these feelings and come out the other side refreshed.

Scorpio/Scorpio rising:

"I will not compare myself to others. My unique gifts have a place and a purpose."

It can be easy to judge your own creativity or joy against others in your community, but try not to! You have a unique gift that has a place and purpose... it doesn't matter if people don't get it! This Mercury retrograde period is a great time to go within, take time for yourself, and be in solitude. It will likely make your creativity soar!

Sagittarius/Sagittarius rising:

"I release the need to show up as anything but my authentic, genuine self."

You are the release point to this Full Moon T-square, Sagittarius, which could feel intense. With Mars opposite your sign and the Sun at the top of your chart, you could feel pressure to be or act a certain way. Mercury will retrograde in your house of community and friendship, so showing up as anything but authentic could foster the wrong types of community and relationships.

Capricorn/Capricorn Rising:

"I’m adopting a beginners mindset. I am open to learning new things and meeting new people."

Capricorn, I know it's not easy being a beginner at something, especially for someone as capable as you! Putting myself out there, meeting new people, and learning new things brings inspiration to your daily routine and work. Don't get complacent. You're not done growing!

Aquarius/Aquarius Rising:

"I share my joy and creativity freely. It caries value beyond what other people think."

It's important you don't let others dull your shine, Aquarius... it's contagious! This Full Moon could make you feel like you can't shine as brightly for fear of what others thinks, but the truth is, shining your light only brings you closer to things that are truly meant for you. You're motivated to create... don't hide this!

Pisces/Pisces Rising:

"My identity is shaped by my relationship and life experiences, but is not defined by it."

This is your Full Moon, Pisces... and you're probably feeling emotional and perhaps overwhelmed. Your relationships and life experiences shape who you are today, but that doesn't mean you can't evolve or learn from them... after all that's what they're meant to do! Own your power.
