Full Moon in Pisces - August 31st

It's definitely an advantage to live our lives with the knowledge that we are made up of energy and that everything around us is also made of energy.....and we need to remember that our emotions are also just energy!
E-motions (energy in motion) come and go and they can also be affected by what is going on around us energetically. 
The full moon is one of those things that can greatly affect our energy/emotions as the fuller the moon, the greater the pull on the water in our body (just like the moon pulls the tides) and guess where our energy vibrations are most active? Within the water in our bodies! 
We are made up of around 60% water so there can be a lot of emotional shifts going on during the lunar phases which are of course heightened when the moon is at it's fullest. Just ask teachers, nurses and doctors how their shifts go around the full moon!
And depending on what time of the year it is and where the moon is in the sky, it can have an extra layer of specific energy that we can harness and use for our benefit.
You don't have to be a Piscean to make use of this full moon energy as it affects all star signs, although those born under the Pisces sign may feel this energy a little more than others.

So what's happening energetically for us this full moon?
This month's full moon occurs in Pisces on August 31st here in Australia at 11.35am AEST. This is another supermoon (appearing larger as it's closer to the Earth) and our second supermoon for the month...which also makes this full moon a blue moon! This is where we get the saying 'once in a blue moon' because 2 x full moons (let alone supermoons!) in the same calendar month is a bit of a rarity.

Full moons are always a time of powerful manifesting, achieving our goals and releasing energy that we no longer want or need to carry over to the next month. And just as the full moon marks a completion or an ending to something....it is also the start of something new as the cycle begins again.
This full moon in Pisces energy:
  • Is quite intense emotionally...being a supermoon (so we feel those emotions being tugged a little stronger) as well as in a watery emotional sign like Pisces...this means our intuition and sensitivities are heightened and our emotions are feeling BIG

  • And with Pisces being the last sign in the zodiac there is also an energy of chapters closing, plans being wrapped up or finalised and our old favourite...letting go!

  •  We might be feeling the pull to be our own advocate at the moment and claim some more personal responsibility for where our own boundaries lie with others and others expectations of us. Protecting your energy will be really important through this because others around you will also be feeling this push and pull between wanting to protect boundaries while also wanting to assert their rights. Choose your words and times to talk through anything wisely and be really gentle with others and yourself

  • Frustrations might be higher in everyone right now so do your very best to view everyone through a compassionate lens...we never know what anyone else is really going through and being as understanding and sympathetic as possible right now will help everyone so much. And judging others less will also help you be less judgemental of yourself too...which is even more important right now as self doubt may surface more than usual. 

  • Please remember during this time that your internal dialogue needs to be watched carefully. With heightened emotions and feelings, this of course transfers to powerful thoughts so make them positive. Catch any negative thinking about yourself and others and spin it on it's head as soon as you become aware. The power of our internal dialogue and what it drives into reality should never be ignored especially while our thoughts are this strong. Our emotional well being and confidence in ourselves is reliant on our thoughts and we have the power to choose which ones we want to entertain.
  • With Mercury currently in retrograde, we also need to be mindful of being gentle with any mistakes being made by ourselves or others. With feelings so raw and big, support and understanding should take higher precedence over corrections and instructions. Can you just be there as a soft place to land for yourself and others instead of fixing anything just now?

  • Bonding with our loved ones will feel easier at the moment as our feelings are being pulled from us. Removing any 'conditions' in our relationships will help during this period giving you the chance to just flop into those loved up feels. I guess what I'm saying is put heart above head at the moment and enjoy what the heart wants while silencing the pesky brain!

    Support for Kids

Your kids will be needing you right now whether they appear to or not. Younger kids might be a bit clingier as they feel their emotions and feelings a little more keenly and older kids may appear uncertain or even moodier as they don't quite know how to deal with the intensity of their emotions right now. Even though you are feeling this way too, just keep in mind that you are their soft place to land and be all about the hugs and listening rather than any advice giving at the moment.

That push/pull energy of wanting to stand up for yourself while also not wanting to create waves might feel confusing for our kiddos and you might see siblings fluctuate between getting along nicely and then all of a sudden have a power stand off and then back again! Just let the pendulum energy of this keep swaying back and forth as they settle into what feels right for them in this moment.

Older kids might be beating themselves up for past and current mistakes right now without verbalising this to you. So their sullenness and moodiness could be because of an internal war being raged so again, your gentle approach and coming from the heart and not the head will be such a help to them. And little ones might find their mistakes in learning a lot harder right now so if tears and tantrums are erupting as they get frustrated with their tasks, again just be their with the hugs and the reminders that everyone makes mistakes and that without mistakes, we would never learn properly!

As much family time right now will help everyone especially as you have a cosmic energetic ticket for more bonding at the moment! And even though everyone's feelings might be A LOT, feeling safe in your family unit to feel these together is always a good thing.
