Dear curious soul,

Welcome to the dreamy energies of the Full Moon in Pisces. This mystical lunar event graces us on September 17th, 2024, bringing with it a powerful wave of Pisces’ enigmatic energy. This Full Moon has its own unique ambiance as it is a lunar eclipse, which means the power of the Full Moon is amplified, and the emotions during this time will be even more intense than during a regular Full Moon.

Keep reading for guidance on how to prepare for this upcoming lunar cycle and how to harness its full potential for your highest good.

The Full Moon Energy

During the Full Moon, the Moon is at its brightest, fully visible in its beauty, shining light even in the darkest hours of the night. This bright light is said to be revealing and even ruthless, bringing to the surface truths and realizations that may have been hidden in the subconscious or unconscious. The potent energetic shift of the Full Moon creates a strong pull for real needs and desires to emerge in your current reality. It’s essential to pause and pay attention to these new revelations and realizations, aligning yourself with your most authentic life.

Full Moon time is another incredible opportunity, alongside the New Moon, for reflection and introspection. It’s a time to pause and think about your life, meant for raw honesty and openness. The Full Moon is here to illuminate the truth. This is not the time to live in illusions; those daydream bubbles need to be broken. Usually, during the brightest times of the night, those daydreams are turned into reality checks, whether you desire them or not. Full Moons are powerful moments for breakthroughs and profound insights.

In the revealing light of the Full Moon, you are called to reach for the most authentic solutions. This is the perfect moment to realign. Reflect on the intentions set during the New Moon and how they are unfolding for you. By now, if you have been aware and taking action toward your intentions set during the latest New Moon, you have a powerful chance to see some progress.

Pause to assess this progress. Are you heading in the direction you intended? Do you need to make changes to your intentions? What has really been happening in your life over the past two weeks? Are your current intentions fulfilling your deepest desires and needs? Are your life circumstances aligning with your intentions?

The Full Moon time is intense. The sign and energy of the Full Moon always appear in the opposite sign of the current Sun sign, causing a strong energetic pull between universal energies. Despite its intense, emotion-stirring effects, the Full Moon is also a time of celebration. It’s about recognizing the progress made since the latest New Moon, and even since the last New Moon in the same sign as the current Full Moon. During the Full Moon, think back to approximately six months prior. What have you learned, and how have you progressed toward your intentions during that period? Now is the time to pay attention, celebrate, and be grateful for your achievements.

With the Full Moon, it’s time to realize what is actually going on in your life right now. This is your moment to notice how your life is aligning with your intentions, purpose, and calling. Consider how your needs and desires are being met. Dare to be honest and listen to your inner wisdom.

What are your mind, body, and soul telling you right now? What makes you feel heavy? What doesn’t align with your purpose? What doesn’t serve your well-being or the well-being of those around you?

During the Full Moon, it’s essential to see the burdens and possibilities in your current situation. When you make realizations, you create room for new opportunities and changes to enter.

The Meaning of the September Full Moon (Harvest Moon)

The September Full Moon is called the Harvest Moon, and its name comes from its proximity to the Autumn Equinox. This Full Moon is traditionally associated with the harvest season, as it historically provided additional light for farmers to gather crops before the onset of winter.

The Harvest Full Moon symbolizes abundance, gratitude, completion, and the hard work done during the harvest. During the Harvest Moon, nature is in the transition phase from summer to autumn. This is why the Harvest Moon has typically been a time for celebrating the past summer with seasonal treats. The Harvest Moon is the time to be grateful and celebrate the fruition of all the efforts made during spring and summer. It’s also a time to reflect and let go of the summer’s activity, beginning to wind down for the more peaceful autumn and winter seasons.

The Harvest Moon highlights the need for letting go and transformation for us all, as the seasons naturally change. This is a time to make space for inner growth and renewal.

Connection to nature and the Earth is important during all Full Moons, but especially during Full Moons that happen during seasonal changes. This Pisces Harvest Full Moon is a time to truly reconnect with the cycles of nature and the earth. It is a period of earthly grounding. Grounding and nature connection can be enhanced through ceremonies, rituals, or personal meditation that honor the land, animals, and seasonal changes.

Other traditional names for the September Full Moon include Corn Moon, Wine Moon, Song Moon, and Barley Moon.

Pisces Energies to Cherish on This Full Moon

During the Full Moon, it’s important to be aware of the energetic vibrations around you. These energies add a unique nuance to everything you do and provide powerful cues about the life themes that would most benefit your attention right now. The energies are particularly favorable for certain themes during this period.

This September, the Full Moon occurs in the sign of Pisces, and it is also a lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipse brings an especially powerful time for realizations, transformation, and healing.

Pisces is a mutable water sign, which brings forth dreamy energy that may usher you to live in your fantasies and illusions. Pisces energy is very mystical and not very straightforward. Pisces energy isn’t logical, but there’s magic in the mysterious. The Pisces Full Moon is a mesmerizing time of karmic reminders and miracles. Collectively, Pisces energy reminds us to be compassionate and forgiving.

Since Pisces energy encourages dreaming, this Full Moon is your time to dream big. Cherish romanticizing your life and make it as sweet as you could ever dream of. During the Pisces Full Moon, your ability to use your imagination is heightened to its peak, and you may even possess visionary capabilities. Do not limit yourself, but rather aim to surprise yourself.

Pisces energy is very sensitive, and it invites you to embrace the sensitivity within you. During this Full Moon, allow yourself and others to be vulnerable. Let the emotions flow, like a fish in the water, and flow with them. Be honest about your feelings. Cry if you feel like crying. Purge. Let go of pent-up emotions. Face your fears and demons. Get sentimental and grateful. Pisces energy truly invites you to deeply connect with what is within you—to connect with what is mysterious, what is hidden within the subconscious and unconscious. The Pisces Full Moon is the time to invite these mysteries to the surface, not to fear them but to accept and surrender to them.

As Pisces encourages you to dream, it also encourages you to pay attention to the dreams you have while sleeping. Aim to write these dreams down and reflect on their messages, as each dream contains powerful guidance about your deepest needs.

Pisces energy is deeply intuitive, almost on a psychic level. Full Moons are always emotionally charged, but during the Pisces Full Moon, emotions are felt even more deeply, and you may easily tune into the emotions of others. This may feel especially intense, and amplified by the lunar eclipse, you may feel overwhelmed. Just know that this intense energy will pass in a few days. Use your intuition to get in touch with what is needed for you and others, and adjust your life according to the insights you gain.

Pisces energy is very creative and artistic, in a way that is poetic, delicate, and sweet. During the Pisces Full Moon, you may soothe yourself by indulging in the arts. What form of art would you like to enjoy? Is it reading fiction novels or poetry, watching artistic films, or listening to emotion-evoking music? Perhaps you would like to create your own art and enter a flow state while honoring your creativity.

The Pisces Full Moon encourages you to connect with the water element. Spending time by a natural water source is the most efficient way to amplify Pisces Full Moon energy. While at your chosen water source, aim to appreciate the water in all its forms and with all your senses. At home, you may take a meditative, intuitive shower with your favorite essential oils and relaxing music.

Diving deep into spirituality has high potential during the heightened Pisces energy. On the Pisces Full Moon, you will truly benefit from incorporating meditation, affirmations, and mantras into the days surrounding the Full Moon. Meditation could involve mindful movement, such as yoga, or it could simply include awareness and stillness, sitting and watching flickering candlelight. You might also want to study spiritual practices and perhaps see what kind of new ritual you could adopt into your daily life.

Being full of spiritual and deep energy, the Pisces Full Moon is also an excellent time for strengthening your intuition. Truly pay attention to the messages your heart and soul want to convey during this time. This Full Moon is a potent time for deepening your inner wisdom and for growing and evolving.

During the Pisces Full Moon, it’s helpful to become aware of the forms of escapism you practice in your life. It’s surprisingly common to avoid facing hard situations, decisions, or emotions by engaging in activities or substances that allow you to “forget” the challenges for a while. However, to move forward in life in a way that is best for your well-being, facing these challenges is necessary. The Pisces Full Moon also highlights any addictions you may have. Reflect on how these addictions affect your mind, body, soul, and social connections. During this Full Moon, you also have a chance to reflect on your limiting beliefs. What is holding you back, and why do you have these limiting beliefs?

The Full Moon in Pisces inspires dreaming and visionary imagination to emerge. What new and different ideas or visions are you ready to bring to light right now?

The themes of this Full Moon in Pisces are:

• Dreaming
• Vulnerability
• Illusions
• Intuition
• Flow

I invite you to let these themes gently guide your reflections and actions during this Full Moon.

Living Intentionally During This Lunar Cycle

This Full Moon invites you to take time for mindful reflection on your life. It’s an opportunity to consider where you are right now and where you desire and need to head next. The lunar cycles are always brimming with potential, each bringing a unique, potent vibration of energy to guide your focus and growth during this time. Every lunar cycle encourages you to tap into self-awareness, learning, and attunement with your higher self and purpose. These cycles invite you to nourish your soul connection, as well as your connections to everything around you. This is your time to see where you want to evolve and focus on cultivating that growth.

During the lunar cycle, it’s essential to take mindful moments to reflect on whether you are progressing toward the intentions you set during prior moon phases. It’s easy to lose track in a world full of demands and distractions. However, the intentions you have set are meaningful to you, and they deserve to be cherished and acted upon.

You can choose to set aside a moment for yourself and your intentions daily, a few times a week, or at least weekly. This is your time to sit down in peace and quiet and check in on your journey through this lunar cycle. You might ask yourself:

• How does this lunar cycle feel to me so far? What makes me feel this way?
  Emotions reflect how your actions align with your inner needs and desires.
• Do I feel like I’m on the right path?
  You will feel calm and trusting if you are on the right path.
• Are there any changes I need to make right now?
  If you have mixed feelings or uncertainty about something, it’s a call to rethink and make adjustments. If something doesn’t align with your intentions, it’s time to realign your actions and surroundings.
• What is the next step I can take toward my intentions?
  Look for the next small step you can take. Be mindful of the signals around you that might guide your next move.

Remember, it’s okay to change the course of your actions. If something feels off, it might not be meant for you. Take this time to revisit, rethink, and redo your intentions. This Pisces Full Moon, highlighted by the energies of lunar eclipse, has a very potent energy that might be even overwhelming. Be prepared to take time for self-care and stillness. I encourage you to approach this lunar eclipse energy with courage and curiosity. There is a very powerful potential for heightened awareness and realizations that might even surprise you. These revelations and realizations are here to guide you toward the path that is truly meant for you. Take your time to digest the messages you receive and use them for your guidance.

Pisces Full Moon Rituals

As mentioned above, Pisces energy invites you to dive into deep waters. This is a time when emotional and psychic energy are at their highest. Pisces energy sometimes lures people into trance-like states of illusions, fantasies, and deep fascination. In all its dreaminess, Pisces energy can be somewhat overwhelming. Grounding may seem more difficult, but at the same time, grounding and self-care during the Full Moon are essential. This is why grounding rituals are warmly recommended during the Pisces Full Moon.

These are the best rituals for amplifying Pisces potential:

• Freewrite about your dreams and set intentions based on your writing.
• Keep a dream journal during the Full Moon and the two weeks following. Intuitively interpret the meanings and messages of your dreams.
• Take mindful, peaceful time for dreaming and imagination, using the essential oils and crystal recommended above.
• During this emotionally intense time, enjoy your favorite self-care routine, whether it’s a serene walk in nature, a bath with essential oils, or drinking a calming tea blend.
• Enjoy art in multiple forms and get creative.
• Journal about what fills your energetic cup, and express gratitude for it.

The New Moon in Libra

The Full Moon starts the cycle of the waning Moon. The Moon begins to darken little by little as we approach the last quarter phase. This also means shedding and letting go of unnecessary aspects of your life. After the revelations and decisions made during the Full Moon, it’s time to release what no longer serves you. During the Full Moon, you recognize the factors you no longer need in your life. During the waning Moon, you mindfully detach yourself, preparing for the next New Moon cycle.

Bear in mind that the waning Moon cycle is not the time for high action. It’s a time for rest and recovery. The revelations of the Full Moon are meant to bring clarity and, eventually, harmony and peace of mind. You are encouraged to embrace this newfound clarity and harmony during the two weeks following the Full Moon. Mindfully and intentionally, begin to slow down your pace of action and take more time for rest and recovery until the New Moon in Libra on October 2nd.

Your mantra for this Pisces Full Moon

I dare to dream, and there is no limit to my imagination.

Wishing you an insightful Full Moon, filled with remarkable dreams and revelations for your greater life,

Mimi 🌙
