Full Moon in Pisces

There is a Full Moon today in Pisces at 17:03 Universal Time.

A Pisces Full Moon presents an opportunity to let go, to give into situations that have built up and relax - to realise that nothing good will come from holding on to fear.  Ultimately it means letting go of our ego selves and merging with a greater spirit - namely compassion, universal consciousness and hope.

The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon reads "A squirrel hiding from hunters".  This rather implies that this might not prove easy.  The squirrel is rather a dextrous and anxious figure - very sensitive and aware that at any moment danger lurks around the corner.  He is surrounded by 'hunters' and therefore has to be stealthy.  The symbol also shows that because of the stress around him he hides and retreats - it is an image of great sensitivity, easily hurt and damaged, knows this, and hence chooses to hide - to turn away.

The Sun is now in Virgo and its dispositor Mercury is retrograde.  There is perhaps a requirement at the moment to let go a little and retreat - to gather nuts in the nest as a squirrel does.  If stressful situations have built up so much that anxiety has become a problem then this active passivity may be a good option for you - try not to see it as giving up and surrendering, rather as stockpiling energy for future transmission.

Lynda Hill (author of 360 degrees of wisdom) in her Sabian Symbol blog talks of humour being a good release at this Full Moon.  The dispositor of the Pisces Moon is Jupiter in Aries which currently reads "A comedian entertaining a group of friends".  Humour is a nice release of tension and anxiety and I like Lynda's approach that this is a positive way of harnessing the current stresses.  Indulging in creativity is another good option for release with Venus and Mars still conjunct in Libra.  Good Luck!
