Super Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 🐟 Sep 17, 2024

This particular full moon is called the Harvest Moon, Corn Moon or Barley Moon. It is not just a full moon but also a supermoon (number 2 in a series of 4) and also a partial lunar eclipse! The eclipse will be visible in the western hemisphere. The moon will rise at sunset, peak at midnight, and set at sunrise. As it arrives just before the Fall Equinox, this full moon will be the last moon phase of Virgo Season 2024.

Sun and Moon in total opposition between Virgo and Pisces: finite reality vs. infinite ether.

The Full Moon in Pisces comes each year in a hazy wave, muddling our vision. As the last sign in the zodiac, Pisces is an amalgamation of all. She can shape-shift into any archetype she pleases. Pisces endlessly confuses with fantasies and delusion. She takes us to the edge of insanity. This full moon also releases the spirit by connecting us to the earth. This is much needed as we work in Virgo’s domain, reflecting on purpose and meaning; health and service.

Let’s look at the ruling planets of Virgo and Pisces, Mercury and Neptune respectively. Mercury can’t slow down; he’s got so many ideas and words and tasks. Neptune, on the other hand, spends her entire existence in bottomless REM cycles which take her far, far away from reality. Why is the power of illusion so strong in Pisces’ world? Because she would rather die than confront what she has created.

I have compassion for Neptunian Pisces. In human form, she is a fish out of water. The Pisces soul yearns to go back to her otherworldly homeland where concepts of time and space remain unknown. Mercurial Virgo, however, is inextricably tied to terrestrial life.

Here we are, one foot on Virgo’s green earth and the other quickly turning translucent, pulled by an unseen force to the farthest narwhal star in the universe. What is the connection between earth and sky, between mundane and extraordinary?

Last year’s Full Moon in Pisces was grounding and stabilizing. This year’s is going to be a bit more spicy with a sextile to Uranus Retrograde in Taurus.
