The Pisces Full Moon occurs on August 24th, 2010 at 1°26′ Pisces-Virgo @ 1:04 pm EST, 5:04 pm UT.
With the Pisces Full Moon we are offered the opportunity to surrender that which ails us by allowing our ailments and hurts to be washed away and dissolved within the depths of the Piscean oceans.
Within the specifics for this event we find Mercury within his home sign and retrograde in Virgo as the ruler of the Sun while Neptune, the ruler of the Moon degree, is also closely conjunct the Moon and Chiron. Though Mercury does not aspect this lunation we should not overlook this particular for it may very well signify that the healing and purification we are seeking cannot be found through our attempting to use analytic approaches in identifying our ailment.
The Sun, in opposition to the Moon, Neptune and Chiron seeks to bring us to an awareness that we do have an ailment of some sort yet that has been causing us pain in some form and though it may appear to be only related to the emotional, mental, physical or spiritual body that is merely an illusion for a wound in any one body reflects through all bodies. Too, from this perspective of inter-relatedness we can view the Chiron-Neptune conjunction as being symbolic of how the wounds of one are the wounds of the collective. Maybe we find within this connection the reason our ailment eludes us is due to our being unable to correlate a personal event to pain that we are carrying. The best healing remedy may now be in the realization and acceptance that the solution is beyond our ordinary means of comprehension and that we must now surrender our ills to a Higher Power with full faith and trust that the remedy that shall be applied will be exactly what is needed and shall come forth from avenues that may require us to allow that which is greater than ourselves to steer us through this passage.
With Pluto in a flowing trine to the Sun and sextile to the Moon we find our connection for this event to the T-squares that have been of major influence within our lives during the recent past. These energies have shifted our foundations to such a degree as to uncover parts of ourselves that previous to now we may have been unaware of. This intensive internal shifting has caused a certain amount of debris within our personal and collective fields and though we have been working diligently to release and integrate what we must there has undeniably been for some a frustration apparent in not being able to identify the root(s) of maladies that have been achingly clear and yet all so elusive in nature.
*************
The Sabian Symbol for the Moon degree in Pisces offers: “A Squirrel Hiding From Hunters”.
Have you felt as if there is something there? An ill, a woe, a sorrow, an obstacle..something that for all of your diligence in self-work you just cannot identify?
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun degree in Virgo shares: “A Large White Cross Dominates the Landscape”.
Are we now ready to approach that powerful symbol and bring forth our needs for healing even though we may not even know what it is that needs healed? Can we trust that it is time to hang up our struggles to find release from our situations and allow ourselves to be aided by a presence of Light far greater than we?
The Symbol for the Pluto degree brings encouragement through: “A Human Soul in It’s Eagerness for Experience, seeks Embodiment”.
Are we now being asked to recognize that New Life is at hand and yet through our birthing processes that which once served as a beneficial in some manner for our experience must now be surrendered to allow for our fullest expression of our new Selves to come forth? Do we now need to purify ourselves of any by-product accumulated due to our birthing processes that will not be healthy for, and supportive of, our future expressions?
The opportunity now presents to heal that which is elusive if we are willing and able to open up to the possibility that even though we may not understand the dynamics of what causes our pain we are nonetheless worthy of the Grace of Divine healing by just trusting that it is the time to let go and Let God in whatever form you honor that to Be.
This is a point of surrender; of taking all of oneself into the Oceans of Pisces and immersing oneself entirely within the Waters of Purification through Release.
This is a point of allowing one’s intuition, one’s Highest Guidance, to lead the way and to follow that Guidance by not demanding that the solutions that present and/or occur follow a logical path..for if what ails could have been remedied by traditional means we would not now be standing with this “burden” at these crossroads.
Many Blessings and Love as You Bring Yourself forth for Healing Under this Piscean Moon~Kachina
A personal note: The past 2 weeks I have been central focused on my personal needs for healing that I have been unable to remedy and it has been an intensive period that has been requiring my full focus. Needing to place priority on my personal needs has led to my having to curtail substantially my interactions here and in many places I visit as well as in keeping up to date with email correspondence. With the support of a most gracious Hekat and this Full Moon I hope to be back on my game very soon and look forward to catching up with any one that I have been remiss in connecting with. A sincere thanks to all that generously share their support and kindness; I am abundantly blessed by your friendships and goodness!

Hi Kachina
Have been feeling out of sorts the last few days and can’t even really describe it. Just noted though that this full moon will conjunct my natal saturn at 4 deg Pis and also note that transiting south node is conjuncting my natal sun at 11 deg Can. Could that explain the aching, dull bordering on depressed feeling i can’t seem to shake? It feels so deep and there are points i want to burst into tears! Is this deep inner stuff wanting to come out or what? Sorry for sounding like a downer!!
Love and light x

No worries in the downer part..wish everything were cheerful and delightful in life..yet it is not..equal measures of sun and rain and both must be honored. 🙂
“Is this deep inner stuff wanting to come out or what?”..good question.
Saturn in Pisces or 12th is like feeling responsibility for the state of the Universe. I have personal friends with this placement and they measure their every move on the “big picture”..a lot of them don’t know it..but they do it nonetheless. I often see them creating distractions by trying to save everyone and thing so that they don’t have to tend to their own well-being. Always another damsel to rescue or village dragon to slay..and yet they feel resentful to those they help even though they went looking to conquer..that sort of thing.
That may or may not be your situation..just tossing it out for consideration.
Too..Virgo-Pisces is an axis that can feel heavy and depressing when active. Afterall…Virgo is the natural house of ‘slavery’ and Pisces is ‘endings”. You may just be highly tuned in to that theme right now and it is a big issue in the collective in many different forms.
Hope that dull aching lifts soon! xxx

Hi There, Kachina,
This Full Moon feels significant to me as the 6th/12th Axis is 1/2 of my Grand Cross and I have a Yod (Moon) in the 12th. It feels as if I am finally nailing down the meaning of that Axis and my Yod, FINALLY. I get it now. The Pisces/Virgo thing, I get it! Too much 12th house stuff and we have chaos and a lack of boundries, lack of focus; too much 6th house stuff and we have an obsessive, overly controlled environment or way of thinking. Habits and rituals are really on both sides, I guess. This is teaching us balance. I see a teeter-totter here right on this Full Moon Axis of Pisces and Virgo. It seems simple enough from a detached point of view, but we need to zoom in and apply it to our personal lives. The healing! That’s the major thing here. Loved Eric’s “River Of Tears”. It does make me cry as well, Morvah. I want to nail down what I am healing, acknowledge what it is, LET IT GO; let it fall off one end of the teeter-totter that it’s weighting down and go away forever and move on to build anew. Create a new balance, if you will.
Kachina, when I read that you were hurting and needed healing in some manner, I actually felt emotional pain for you. I love you. You are a wonderful healer. Healers have a truck-load of wounds themselves. They have earned more than a Doctorate in Healing from the School of Hard Knocks or some such other unkind place. How else could they become so deep, wise and compassionate? Like a diamond, you will soon polish up, sparkle with the stars and share your treasured knowledge again with those in pain and perplexity. Sending you light, love and healing vibrations, Kachina. Take real good care.
Love,
Jan

Yes..take the burdens that arise in the 6th and release them through the 12th, take the wisdom born in the 12th and apply it in the 6th..teeter back and forth until you get just the right mix. Still working mine..but it get’s better with each teeter.{{wink}}

Thank you for this entry! It brought clarity to the strangeness I’ve been feeling this month.
Yesterday, I decided to return to my 12-step group so I could feel like I’m standing on my feet again (as opposed to recovering from some whopper or another!). I also found an online meeting since there aren’t any nearby.
The difference between my past experiences with what I’ll do now is to do it from a stance of loving and helping myself, and using positive reinforcement instead of rubbing my face in whatever mistakes I’ve made. After all, wasn’t the 4th step about making a moral inventory, and the next few steps about admitting things and making amends?

As a Libra rising, Cap Sun, Sag moon, I’ve been going through, especially lately, some serious events physical/emotional/spiritual, of course it’s all always connected. I feel like your guidance can help me begin the healing and move into a better place for me on a lot of levels.

Thank you for your blessings of healing! I am slowly getting back to some kind of ‘normal’..lol..not real sure there is a normal after 40 years of searching for it..but my version any way.
Hekat and Chiron..I did not share in my post but this Full Moon had the Sun conjunct my natal Hekat and transiting Hekat was conjunct my natal Chiron..so very personal for me. I actually knew nothing of Hekat being represented in the zodiac until the morning I wrote this..though she presented to me a few days before I wrote this. And yes..I believe she is very present now for those that are welcoming of her assistance.

I feel amazingly blessed by the quality of those that share here..that is no little thing to be taken for granted. Seems nearly everywhere you go on the net there is so much discord and just plain meanness in many places..and yet here and in the astro community at large there really is something special and unique at this time. Those that gather are trying..really trying..to do and be better and more and striving to be of support to one another where and however they can..and that is astounding when measured against the current conditions of our local and global environment.
Maybe a “Pretty Cool!”..is just the best way to sum it up?! xoxo

Hi Kachina,
I don’t have the knowledge/skill you do to figure the astrology of things, though I do read a general daily caste written for all with my sun sign, and I do know the affects of the planets, the magnetic pull between all things is very real. We’re energetic entities of molecules dancing around each other. I do know Pluto has been pulling the veil off of many things for most of us all year, and for me especially intensely recently. I think Hecate as the triple goddess can do much the same for us, making us look at Who we really are as women, the true powerful feminine aspect, which much of society, men and women, don’t want to acknowledge. If we want to become clear within ourselves, to remember who we really are, she will help us.
I agree, “Pretty Cool” says it best! Being able to see and experience the support we are all willing to give each other is heartwarming. I think this is our deepest human nature. The other side is given too much press for sensationalism, so it appears more prevalent. And, dark actions by some stimulate supportive human reactions from others.
Feel the love out there,
Vicky

In regards to your daily caste for your Sun sign…the way most astrologers prepare their forecasts you can read for your Ascendant too and combine the flavors with your Sun forecast to hone in a little more. Works great! 🙂

Your writing and insights always inspire me Kachina, so many thanks.
Like you, I’ve recently found myself struggling with issues related to my own healing, and a big part of the process has involved releasing false expectations of how things should go. Surrender is always difficult for me, so this latest flare-up of physical symptoms has presented yet another opportunity for me to learn to trust God while making the necessary adjustments, both physically and spiritually. Not surprisingly, this last Full Moon has set off my 9th house Mars/12th house Pluto square.
Wishing you love and blessings Kachina; may you feel the presence of the Divine with you every step of the way. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

Our Mars-Pluto squares make it VERY difficult to surrender. Mine is part of my T-square with my Moon and with that being very active this past year I had to deal with a lot of rage and anger I didn’t even know I was holding for the ultimate Mother-Father. Very profound process when it surfaced. I truly hadn’t realized how my experiences with my parents were a doorway to this much deeper and primal hurt/anger I was carrying.
“issues related to my own healing, and a big part of the process has involved releasing false expectations of how things should go”….no, healing is not always about being ‘cured’ of what ails you. More often it’s about finding meaning and peace within our circumstances..whatever they may be.
I’m glad you came by to share. Love and Blessings to You also. xxx

Hi Kachina,
Thanks for the advice to check my rising as well as my sun sign caste. So often, I seem to have a tug of war between my 3 aspects, libra, cap, sag, when trying to make choices.
Thanks also for your reply to LB – wow, eye opening! I think this must be a lot of my struggle, too. When I try to surrender and find the meaning and peace in my circumstances, a part of me feels I’m being too passive, another part feels abandoned. Eventually, I’m able to remind myself how my Creator/Source has supported me through all my challenges, but always the first response is to feel alone, abandoned, on my own, and after the crisis is over, often not really where I need to be. Connecting to my Source and feeling and believing that love is there seems to be what I need to work on.
Thanks,
Vicky
