This Monday, September 15th, 2008, at approxmately 3:30 am, the Sun, which is currently in the sign of Virgo,
will be directly opposite the Moon in Pisces, creating a Full Moon.   



This particular Full Moon is called the Harvest Moon, and is used by many Indigenous Cultures for Youthing Ceremonies.   My Shaman Teacher, Starr Fuentes, from Hot Springs, Arkansas, is very involved with these ceremonies.  You can learn more about them, and her workshops that will be taking place here in Nashville
at the end of September, on her website, www.starrfuentes.com   

Right now, the Sun is in Virgo - the sign of the Virgin.  Virgos are born late August - through mid-September, and are Earth signs related to Autumn - Apple Picking and Harvest time.  It is the only sign in the Zodiac represented by a Woman.  



Virgo really likes order and cleanliness, and is very attentive to details of life.  She can be meticulous and neat, but can also be overly critical.

Virgo is the sign related to all kinds of Service - which sometimes manifests in professions of Nursing, and Office Work.  She really prefers behind the scenes work, rather than being on stage, like Leo!
 




So the Full Moon in Pisces - Opposite to Virgo - is sometimes called the "Serve Or Suffer" Axis.

It is ironic that Virgo likes order, and yet this Full Moon is bringing so much chaos and suffering with the recent Hurricanes.

As you know, Full Moons happen every month, and the Full Moon in Pisces happens every year at this time, but this Full Moon in Pisces is especially significant, because it is so close to the planet Uranus in Astrological terms.

Pisces is related to the Oceans, and Uranus is the planet related to Chaos. 

Get the Picture?

When Uranus went into the sign of Pisces a few years ago, it began stirring up the the Ocean (related to Pisces) and caused huge disasters, such as the Tsunamis in India, as well as hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and now Gustav and Ike.

Yes, I know we have had Hurricanes every year, but the increase of Huge Disasters from Oceanic events seems greater since Uranus went into the sign of Pisces. 

This Full Moon in the Water sign of Pisces is also causing a Flood of Emotions.  (Moon is related to our emotions.) 

Pisces is also the sign related to charities and compassion, and our hearts seems to flood open when we see such great suffering around the world. 

And you may think storms only happen on earth --- but look at how storms are happening all over the universe -- even in the galaxies!   The photo below is of two galaxies colliding.




Pisces is represented by two fish going in opposite directions.  One is swimming upstream, one is swimming downstream. 



This is the symbol for Pisces.  It looks like two mirrors held together by string.  Feels like we are being split in two, perhaps?





With the Full Moon in Pisces, there is a temptation to get lost in addiction, drugs, alcohol and illusion.

But Pisces is also related to Spirituality, Monasteries, Ashrams, and Twelve Step Programs, where people seek the help of a Higher Power, a Power Greater than themselves.

So, the lesson of this Full Moon, is once again - "Go Inside" -
Prayer and Meditation are very important when the outside world seems to be falling apart.

This is a time of great inner transformation.

More Will Be Revealed!

Love,

Christina
