Full Moon in Pisces

September 15th, 5:13 am (EST)

Pisces is a mutable (changeable) water sign. It affects womyn’s need to commit to a dream or ideal and work towards its realization. Ruled by Neptune, it influences the capacity to transcend the finite self through feeling unity with a greater whole and emphasizes devotion to higher ideals and spiritual values, social service, a collective soul, and overcoming debts from the past. Pisces is a dreamer, loving, sensitive, gentle and nurturing, who connects with higher dimensions of the self. The empathetic, intuitive emotional nature motivates connection with others in a profound way and transforms negativity into something beneficial. The urge for selfless service can be overwhelmed by confused emotional boundaries, which need to be defined to be effective. When the strength of compassionate understanding is found, it becomes a powerful healer in the world.

The full moon in Pisces influences the perception of good in everything and everyone. It increases compassion and faith in the universe and encourages the ability to materialize the ideas and images found in dreams and fantasies. Dreams of self and others are easier to value; intuitive and psychic abilities and empathetic feelings for others are stronger. It’s sometimes difficult to see reality, focusing instead on possibilities or the way things could be.

Experiment with adding teal to your home or wardrobe. Show compassion and be empathetic to yourself and others. Let free-floating emotions arise and dissipate. Express your kindness and gentleness; revere your sensitivity; see the good in yourself and others. Become one with the universe; listen to your dreams; follow psychic impressions; challenge reality; fantasize; sleep. Create something from your imagination. Do a guided visualization. Help someone in need. Stop doing and start being.

Ideas for personal or group ritual

Keep a record of your dreams and/or psychic experiences during the month before the full moon, and record any previous psychic or intuitive experiences you remember. Bring them with you to ritual along with a small personal item sealed in a plain letter-size white envelope and wrapped to make it unable to be identified by feel. You will need one timer, and paper and pencils for each womon. If alone you may wish to journal any insights from your dreams.

Alone or in a group purify the space and/or cast a circle. Place a lighted candle and symbols of the elements in each direction: east—air; south—fire; west—water; north—earth; center—spirit. Consecrate them by stating the ritual intent: I express and honor my womon’s intuition, psychic power and dreams. Walking deosil, call the elements from the properties they share with Pisces: east—the inspiration of imagination; south—the power of passion; west—the intuition of dreams; north—the strength of love; center—the soul’s connection to spirit.

In a group stand and join hands in a circle and sing a song such as “Ancient Mother” (Pagan Songbook, p. 94). Sitting down, each womon shares her dreams and/or psychic or intuitive experiences with the group. Number the envelopes and pass them out around the circle. Each womon then has a minute to write down her impressions of what she feels from the envelope she’s holding. It’s important to just write down whatever words or phrases come first without thinking about them. When the timer dings, pass the envelopes until all have gone around the group. If a minute isn’t long enough, set the timer for two minutes, but no longer. After all feel the envelopes, starting with #1, each womon shares what she wrote down; then the #1 envelope is opened. Continue until all the written impressions have been shared and envelopes opened. After opening each envelope, discuss what was written, emphasizing where impressions matched items, if only in one way, such as color. Close by singing “We Are A Circle” (Songs For Earthlings, p. 113). Walk widdershins and dismiss and thank the elements and spirit. Keep your notes to remind you to honor your intuition and psychic skills.
