The last full moon of the summer takes place on 09/10, illuminating the magic and mystery of the Virgo-Pisces axis. Known as the harvest moon, this full moon reflects the abundance that was planted and is now ripe, ready for picking. While the Virgo sun helps us to recognize all of the work we have put in and honour the present, the Pisces moon provides us with a wealth of clarity as the fog starts to clear up. As we receive answers to our pending questions, the planet of communication, perception and knowledge stations retrograde the night before. Since Mercury has entered its pre-shadow retrograde period, misunderstandings and delays have been taking place. These potential blockages can create distractions, slowing us down more than we were hoping. The pre-shadow period of Mercury began in Virgo, just before entering Libra (where Mercury currently sits now). Virgo is known for their critical eye, and ability to maintain strong focus. However sometimes the sharpness of Virgo can weigh on the mind, creating anxious thoughts and possibly stress. This full moon provides release in these areas, as our third eyes are stimulated to see the full picture.
With this moon conjunct to Neptune and creating a sextile to Uranus, some of the information we receive at this time may be delivered with shock value. The rose coloured sunglasses are off, the glamour magick is no more. This moon reflects the closing of many chapters, including the shedding of some of our own skin. While this can feel like a loss, the power and abundance we receive through healing is worth it. The earthly trine of Pluto, the Virgo sun and Uranus reflect the birth of a more evolved self.
