Full Moon in Pisces | Tuesday Sept 1 at 10:22 pm PST

"Dwell on the beauty of life.Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

~Marcus Aurelius

"We grow sensitive, permeable, empathic, and imaginative;

Let’s be gentle with one another.Tears flow easily. Our energy level varies;We swim in spirit, bathe in dreams,Paint the night away, or just take a good long soak."

The Full Moon in Pisces arrives Tuesday Sept 1 at 10:22 pm PST | This Full Moon is a time to feel your connection to everything and allow yourself to expand into your full potential. Release any barriers that block you from stepping into your dreams and become the creator of your reality with this Full Moon. ~Spirit Daughter

This Moon is like an initiation...it offers us opportunities to examine our hardest feelings—our regret and our grief, our fear and our anxiety—without letting them sink us. Moving from such heavy energy to such a sense of freedom is so beautiful. We can navigate these waters and emerge on the other shore unburdened and ready not only to face the future but to welcome it. @oakmoontarot

Many of us are still experiencing the ripple effects of all of the events that have been taking place this year - from being in quarantine, to BLM, to all of the political and social upheaval taking place all around the globe. The kind of healing that is being done is deep, ancestral work. It's uncomfortable. Great & necessary changes have been on the horizon for quite some time, and now they have finally laid their groundwork. As we move forward into September, we are already embracing Virgo season head on. Virgo is the earthy, mutable sign that always supports us through a gentle transition from Summer to Fall (or in the southern hemisphere, Winter to Spring).Virgo is here to support us as we fine tune our goals, wrap up any last minute tasks that we had started earlier on in the year, and prepare to get grounded. This full moon is like a beacon of light before embracing some massive transformative energies that will close out this very complex year. @mindulmagickmethod

Pisces Full Moon is here and we are all riding the tide with these two fish. This cosmic tide is a big one & couldn't come at a more apt time, given what is happening across our planet right now. Pisces energy brings with it the power that can break everything down, leaving everyone & everything feeling a little vulnerable & wondering where to go next. Working with the strong impulse of Duality and Unity Consciousness, the two fish reflecting to us the way in which duality can work as opposing forces or in coming together as one. We are in the midst of worldwide separation. A time in which we are divided (and being divided) as people, as well as feeling this on an internal level too. The dreamy, artistic, compassionate and forward sighted Pisces offers us some choices: Do we come together, acknowledging each others differences, or polarise further? Do we allow ourselves to be swept away in the current and become lost, or do we center ourselves and rebuild in a new way? For us there have been some big household conversations around what the future holds. It has made us dig deep to uncover our fears, intuitions, what we want for the future and how we can positively work and influence others through our thoughts and our actions. It has been a deep and long process and sometimes we take ourselves by surprise! A word of warning! Whilst some might find the dissolving and somewhat destructive or cleansing nature of Pisces a fresh start or perhaps even freeing, the duality of the fish also allows for uncertainty and confusion. So For all our brothers and sisters who are in difficult times, in isolation or lock-down, be mindful to stick with the upstream swimming fish. Keep your mind sharp with clear thoughts. Keep breathing and connecting inwardly to yourself and upwardly to spirit. Keep yourself in a creative space, whilst still being aware of the other fish swimming down below.

We hope you all ride the tides of this Full Moon into a bright and peaceful future... and we will see you there.

Sand becomes embedded in Selenite blades, while additions of water overtime help form the signature “rosette” formation.This mineral activates our root, crown, and sacral chakras that assist in mental clarity and focus, manifestation, and self-expression, and unlocking our divine will. It's the perfect stone to place at your bedside, workspace, or meditation room as it helps cleanse one's aura and environment.

"The Pisces symbol depicts two fish swimming in seemingly opposite directions, permanently connected by a cord.The fish, swimming head to tail, are a sign of duality and yet the cord that joins them is a reminder that we are never separate—There is always a bond, a thread of some kind that connects us all.⁠"
