Astrotoolkit™:
Moon sextile Pluto - magic powers toolbelt, where there’s a will there’s a way, sexual muscle memory, silent but deadly
Moon quincunx Mercury- difficulty expressing your feelings, feeling weird and not knowing how to articulate it, writing about loss
Moon quincunx Jupiter - never-ending summer, not wanting to leave the party
Moon trine Neptune - wild dreams, fantasy that becomes reality, animated conversations with non-living things, a rush of blood to a numb limb
Your mind is wide open to the spirits that move in the wilderness tonight. For the next two weeks, the Harvest Moon is activating a strange, creepy energy—it’s a liminal space between seasons, before the next eclipse, before you have to finalize the mutable. There’s stuff out there right now that isn’t usually there and with Pisces opening the screen to the void, it’s not all good. Protect your energy. You are being lead through a dark passage and down to a well with no exit. What you find down there after your inner eye adjusts, is both your worst fears and your dreams come true. You keep waking up but into another dream.
Do not let anyone discourage you from exploring your whims or trick you into ignoring red flags right now. In that same token, don’t dismiss everything that sounds a little off either because it’s likely leading you in a direction that you would not normally take and this new path may benefit you. You may not understand what’s coming out of the ether but you sure know exactly how it makes you feel. Let that guide you and listen to the low whispers and dim lights that are suddenly visible to you. Were they there all along? Or are you just more sensitive? This Virgo season is accessing the natural form of everything to the extent that it’s…supernatural. Your intuition and your willingness to bend to the strange twists you encounter will be your most essential skills as you master hyperreality™.
First step of Pisces Full Moon: figure out what folktale you’re in. With Pluto in positive aspect, it’s likely a hero’s tale about survival, with a bit of the ineffable thrown in for good measure. Think about your favorite stories, characters, talismans. You may want this to be a good dream, with Neptune in trine, but it may start a bit like a nightmare until you get your footing. You’re strong enough to find the way and smart enough to figure out what you need to do. You will feel pulled in a direction that seems to beckon to you without knowing why. This will be your dark passage.
Like a Midsummer Night’s Dream, you are entering a universe where people don't play by the rules of the same reality as you. There is a complex Venn diagram with Neptune in trine aspect to the Moon and in its natural ruler Pisces and there are millions of overlapping pockets of the infinite universe that you can share with one person. So many, in fact, that you can feel like you’re sharing the same reality. Don’t get it twisted: that’s always been an illusion. The impressionistic focus of Neptune illuminates the threads that stitch time together. An unseen hand has pulled and loosened them for you—your story is bumping into others told by the collective unconscious. With an abundance of quincunxes, expect the focus of your tale to be on endings, culminations and the grasping that accompanies love in human form. You’re playing Musical Chairs: the music stops and you are miles away from your body.
Your tolerance may change in terms of what you can comfortably drink, smoke, or watch right now. You may find it takes more or less to subdue or overpower your mind. Like Alice in the Looking Glass, you expand and contract according to your will, even if it seems attributable to substances and circumstances. You are challenged to rise to the occasion at this Full Moon, because there are all manner of evil spirits to vanquish, old lovers to conjure, ancestors to cavort with into the night. It’s as if you’ve been given access to a neverending party that requires every attendee to be telepathic. The boundary lines on the dream will widen to accommodate a broader version of who you are and open your connection to other people. You are being pulled in and out of time. Your impressions may seem too trippy to trust and too ephemeral to bear your weight. Have patience as your lucid dreams solidify with the very real elements you wanted and at the pace that you are able to trust it. You are not ready to devour the entire dream but you have entered its weightless antechamber, where supernatural elements encroach on daily life.
