The week begins under the illumination of a Pisces Full Moon, a time when we’re pulled to discover the healer within. We have at our disposal the ability to connect to the body (via earthy Virgo, the sign in which the Sun resides) and our intuition (via sensitive Pisces, the sign in which the Moon resides). If your health has been less than abundant, or you’re just looking to feel even more vital, taking the time to focus on how to enhance your wellness during this Full Moon may prove very productive.

 

Use your discerning, critical eye (represented by Virgo) to deduce how different physical and emotional factors may be combining to paint the current picture of your health. Then, sit quietly with these insights (in honor of Pisces), allowing conscious knowingness to emerge from a place deep within you and inform you on ways to proceed. 

 

Be aware, though, that during a Pisces Full Moon, we may be pulled toward feelings of melancholy, to sensing whispers of sorrow caused by disillusionment. After all, both Virgo and Pisces yield a desire for perfection and idealism, and “reality” oftentimes doesn’t match up to how we desire life to be. It’s especially important during this celestial event to remember to practice compassion—for yourself and others—and to accept that even in imperfection, beauty and grace reside.

 

It's a week of transition as Virgo Season ends and Libra Season begins; and with this, we greet the Autumnal Equinox and the advent of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s a moment marking balance, and in that we honor the harmony between the light and the dark. It also marks balance because the Sun enters Libra, the sign that signifies equality, fairness, and justice; for the next month, we may find ourself more inclined to put things on the proverbial scale so that we can weigh and measure different aspects in pursuit of harmony. We may also discover that after just having harvested the fruits of our labor that we are more ready to share these—as well as other newfound discoveries—with others as we embark upon a period where relationships reign and sociability feels sovereign.

 

And yet we may find ourselves not wanting to limit ourselves to the numerous patterns inherent in our partnerships this week. After all, with Venus opposing Uranus on Thursday, we could find ourselves wanting to shake things up. This could manifest numerous ways including desiring to spend more or less time than usual with certain people, feeling pulled to change up the activities that we usually do with others, or finding ourselves called to discuss topics that are oft not our go-to’s. Additionally, we may find ourselves surprised by others, or even ourselves, which can lead to a further understanding of what we believe to truly be valuable and worthwhile. It’s a good time to temporarily re-arrange the furniture—whether literally or figuratively—to see if new patterns and arrangements more fully suit your style and can lead you to living into a life that feels deeper, richer, and more beautiful.
