Pisces Full Moon Aug 31: Feelings are a Gift and Empowered Visions

Current Astrological Update from Kathryn Andren Mina

Pisces Full Moon is August 31, the second Full Moon this month! Pisces Full Moon illuminates an experience of boundlessness and Oneness.  This month’s Gemini Astrology Update is a combination of personal reflections related to Pisces with suggestions on how you can align with planetary patterns in the coming month.  Pisces, after all, dissolves boundaries.

In August, we were blessed with visits from family, friends and Brian and Jenny Lumb’s facilitation of an amazing program, Bloom.  Prior to Bloom, some of us had the opportunity experience the wild beauty of the island at Volcanoes National Park, and also swim with many spinner dolphins the morning of the
Bloom event. Participants gathered at Paleaku Peace Gardens from East and West Hawaii, North and South Kona, Oahu, New York and California.  Most of us born in the USA, with one from Japan and another from Australia; as a circle we covered half the globe!

Dr. Brian T. Lumb’s years of expertise in Network Spinal Care and Jenny Lumb’s heartfelt enthusiasm sharing NIA left us with a feeling of clarity, amazement and deep connection.  The Lumb’s are considering another BLOOM in Hawaii event next Spring, so stay tuned for registration details.

As professional Astrologers and Bodyworkers, both Joseph and I learned early in our careers the value of receiving and nurturing self. We understand the value of walking the talk, and that ‘replenishing the 'energetic well’ personally, supports us professionally in our dedication to healing service. All this and more are themes illuminating Pisces: ecstatic experiences of boundlessness, swimming with pods of wild spinner dolphins, and deepening connection to self and spirit.

Pisces, the water sign of the Fishes, is the last sign of the Zodiac symbolic of completions.  Consider how water moves in nature, rivers and rain returning to the sea. Pisces is poetic; music and meditation are modalities supportive to align with Pisces Full Moon time. We continue now below with my consideration of our current sky story.This Full Moon August 31 is at 8 degrees Pisces, close to Chiron at 7 degrees Pisces. These planets create a sweet sextile to powerful Pluto at 7 Capricorn and supported by Mars in early Scorpio. This suggests a time of going deep.  Dig in!  Remember this is 2012 and wow, the year is already half over!  2012 is the year that has been discussed in the collective consciousness for decades (and in some cultures, centuries).  Are you still wondering “what will happen?”,  it is us, we,  the humans that are happening!

Here's the Full Moon chart:
The Pisces Moon, exactly conjoining the healing point Chiron, may illuminate anytime in the past how you have been energetically wounded. I know I am preaching to the choir here, and maybe you are feeling "I am so over that already!"  As Brian Lumb reminded us in the Bloom program last weekend, our wounds are our gifts.  It’s not our wounding that makes us different, unique or special. It’s the wound from that trauma, sexual abuse, or accident that actually connects you to the rest of humanity.  I assure you everyone has some story of wounding.  In our healing practice, people trust us intimately with their stories daily. This Full Moon in Pisces with Chiron potentially reveals that what was once painful, traumatic or shameful are actually gifts.

Pluto and Mars add power and passion to this Full Moon vibration by creating a series of beneficial sextiles (60 degree angles) with the Moon/Chiron and Sun. These two planetary powerhouses of energy create an invitation to dig even deeper in your internal psyche.  How can I reveal myself even more (Pluto) and take assertive action (Mars) to empower my personal healing?

Jupiter in Gemini further pushes the edge for expansive expression, as it creates a T square (see diagram below) with Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon/Chiron.  T-square energy is like a "see-saw". The balance point or fulcrum in this instance is Jupiter. Its expansive quality injects an air of changeability into this Full Moon mix. In Gemini fashion, it expansively fuels the realm of communication adding, greater context to what is ripe for resolution and empowerment.

I experienced more of my growth edge last week. The day after Bloom, my friend Dana and I took a walk at one of our neighborhood power places, The City of Refuge. As we turned the corner of the sacred temple, Dana asked me, "so how do you feel about expressing your feelings?" HA! I laughed to myself internally and replied to her, that when she said that, my throat actually contracted. ( I was vehclempt!) Thanks to her expertise as a LMFT and a series of exercises called SRI, she facilitated a unique experience for me.  Here I got the ah-ha understanding when I feel my true feelings, my feelings are a gift to me, as well as for others around me.  To celebrate this event, I even wrote a rap poem entitled “My feelings are a Gift!”.

The water signs, related to emotion, are somewhat challenged by aspect in my own birth chart.  While I may feel others emotions easily, clearly expressing my personal feelings is still part of my growth edge. I was reminded this week, as I continue to deepen my own healing path, so too others around me are also healed. That is so Pisces. Pisces is the last water sign of the Zodiac and represents the totality of feeling. Remember, healing = wholeness.  It’s the ocean of abundance of empathy.

Are you in Denver for Transformational Gate September 1 and 2?  Meet Dana facilitating SRI, Brian, entraining participants, Jenny Lumb, and the Starman, Joseph Mina at the Network Gate! (I am here in Hawaii as the Sun this month in my chart fuels and anchors the 4th house of HOME.)

Finally, remember Neptune is the planetary ruler for Pisces. Neptune now currently resides in it’s home sign of Pisces. Starman discussed Neptune in Pisces in an earlier update.

Consider Neptune the creative muse.  It is compassion, creativity and connection to the presence of Spirit.  At this Pisces Full Moon, Neptune is at 1 degree Pisces, Chiron at 7 and Moon at 8 Pisces. These aspects offer potent power for healing through dreams.  What is your greatest vision?  What is the highest dream for your life, your family, humanity, the planet?

We invite you to look at your own astrology chart and observe where 1 to 8 degrees Pisces resides in your chart.  The house placement of 1 to 8 degrees Pisces offers clues where to focus and align your attention.  Do you have any personal planets in the Mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces?  If so, this is an especially powerful Full Moon for you!   For example Neptune at 1 Pisces is currently transiting the top of my chart, and Pisces Full Moon falls in my 10th house of career.  My homework, to walk the talk this weekend, is to focus on the creative vision for my work!
