revisiting the future: horoscopes for today's full moon in pisces
hallo bb,
this morning at 7:56 AM EST, the moon reached its brightest, fullest point.
a full moon in pisces.
this full moon should bring a salve, a bath, some relief.
some auspicious notes from the sky:
1. eclipse season is over - our reaching and our shedding has calmed.
2. mars is about to station direct in capricorn, its sign of exaltation- a sign that ready or not, we are ready to run (and run a marathon).
3. the sun in virgo is forming a beautiful earthy trine with uranus in taurus and saturn in capricorn. this energy asks us to synthesize in a grounded way. leo season was a firy review. now, we must cake ourselves with dirt. but don't worry, it washes off.
to get into the full moon in pisces specifically, I want to share something that I wrote almost (exactly) two years ago. I wrote these words about Pisces & full moons & the full moon in Pisces for the Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 16, 2016, for the OG moon missives e-zine, volume 7. at the time of writing, I was much earlier on my journey to understanding the symbols and the beautiful divine mathematics that is astrology (which is a practice and study that never ends). I did not quite understand how major or serious the vibes of a lunar eclipse are. I did not understand the shedding or the decay. But I still think what I wrote is beautiful, and I think you will too. I wrote this piece, in part, as a tribute to the life of my dear friend, Nora. There's beauty in that too. Pisces beauty. Eternal beauty.

After the musings,
there are horoscopes.
If you know your rising sign, please read for that.
If you want to read for your sun sign, please read for that.
If you also want to read for your moon sign (especially if you were born at night), go for it.
read all of them.
these are meant to be something to chew.
the horoscopes are meant to be found.

Pisces are not of this world!
They live here (for now), but they’ve been everywhere. They're mutable.
You might often hear a Pisces say things like "I'm a sponge" - they take in a lotttt, or "I'm a watering can"––a passionate, sensitive gardening tool dutifully caring for those they love which is everyone.
Pisces is a sign of duality. We often associate duality with fellow mutable sign, Gemini (the twins).
But Pisces are not just fish. they are twin fish.
the Pisces constellation is two fish swimming in opposite directions:
one of those fish is swimming toward our humble, earthly reality
And the other is swimming deep into another realm.
Pisces ACTUALLY contain multitudes.
But Pisces would never say they contain multitudes.
(famous self-proclaimed "container of multitudes" Walt Whitman was a Gemini of course)
They just do.
Pisces just are. They feel everything.
Pisces are true idealists, true dreamers: simultaneously impressionable students, and seasoned mentors, with limitless capacities to love, to forgive, and to share.
a full moon in Pisces asks us to use our psychic wisdom:
to take the part of us that is above it all,
beyond it all,
& has been through it all,
and use that wisdom not just to heal ourselves,
but to heal our world.
to use what we have always felt to be true, known to be true-
and use that to share, to grow, to improve.
a Pisces moon asks us to transform our private suffering into collective growth,
to pull answers from beyond to make sense of the present.
And to realize maybe that the present will never make sense,
but! we have the tools to survive in it, and to thrive,
whatever may come.
be strong, you have the strength,
just jump you already jumped.

Aries
the mundane & the beyond are not the same.
but will always be anchored to each other.
you feel this acutely today.
but with a nice anesthetic salve to take off the edge.
the numbness will bring you back to reality, as you depart.
yr public image has become a pinpoint (some kind of formal geometry- perhaps not as small as a pinpoint, but), and you are earning in new and better ways.
trust the growth you've felt since december in the harder aspects of life and allow yrself a moment to give into the divine.
Taurus
follow a friend through a portal or a trap door today.
put yr phone on airplane mode and navigate like you are in a foreign city with spotty wifi.
Don't resist the 90's.
Let the simplicity relax you.
You have strengthened yr community through leaving it. through looking at yrself with a different and better lens.
find joy in all you can achieve without so much external effort.
which friends feel like a balm? which dreams do?
trust them without the field work or the hard evidence. what you love passes the test.
Gemini
making something of yrself has been a long and tedious process.
finding yr light, doing yr time.
but today, let the shapes fall into place around you & like the cream you'll rise to the top.
as you struggle with systems & powers,
as you do the endless work of finding specificity in the eternal,
remember to trust who carries you.
remember that systems control, but also do work behind the scenes so that you don't have to.
there's balance in boundaries.
trust what's concealed and reach for the sky.
Cancer
you are dealing with some big visions & lofty realities today.
you want to propel yourself across the ocean.
distance is hard & distance is bliss.
so much to unpack between the lines.
yr carving away the tangles around yr heart to really let someone sit with you,
while also realizing you are nothing without yr wider net of friends- gold & new (or simultaneously both).
the sun lights up the local truth,
the moon lets you float away.
be grateful for both.
don't get too carried away.
Leo
perhaps you have found yourself in the sand of someone else's domain. it is not a bad spot. a good view. a nice vibe. a sweet retreat. you could stay here forever & have what you need. there is running water and snacks. how others see you is changing because you are changing. yr work ethic & commitment to professionalism is the anchor, but don't get lost in labor alone. let the world take care of you. take a picture of yourself WITH yr bounty rather than AGAINST IT.
Virgo
who is holding their arms outstretched to you find comfort in embrace. let yourself fly away.
keep in touch with this tangible escape.
you have been creating a bouquet for some time - of yr most treasured flowers - from the gardens of sweethearts.
that bouquet should sit in a vase and delight whoever you invite to dinner.
get lost in the other's eyes. dive into their depths to release yr own.
be grateful for the bowls in yr life.
it is magical to be contained.
Libra
you have worked hard. extremely hard.
with no reward. and you must continue.
be proud of all you have accomplished.
you started somewhere and have moved somewhere else.
and the sculpture is becoming clear - layers shed away.
you have collected many friends from the war.
battle friends are yr friends for life, but also consider who you really want to share yr resources.
who gets an invitation to the real eternity?
as you follow yr heart to yr real home, make a list of who you'd like to invite inside.
not for a party, for good.
Scorpio
escape into what brings you pleasure today. you deserve it.
a sip of cold beer on a roof, a whole roast chicken and a spoonful of the fat poured over the greens, some fennel.
notice who you're trying to be seen with and how you're trying to be seen. communicate that to them.
over and over.
the cycle will continue.
and you will get more and more bounty over time.
what completes you seems to be changing, but actually, it isn't changing.
the truth of what has always completed you is being revealed.
take it slow & listen.
Sagittarius
today & in the coming days offer a chance for you to escape into yr nest or connect with yr roots.
dig into yr foundation (yr temple of saturn, where you go to anchor focus, exalt privacy).
consider all the ways you have bene learning to serve, the ways you are an exemplary employee (or a difficult one), the ways that yr values are becoming clear. let these things feed yr reputation. take them out into public. but also let yr public image fuel what is below the horizon. we are so much more than what they see.
Capricorn
escape into yr cycles today. yr lunar escapades. take a firy trip around the world. or go into the pool with a fling (the love of yr life, again). these quick moves,
the ability to dive into fantasy,
will only strengthen your sense of self.
give you fuel for yr creative pursuits or yr tennis match (tennis is a game of L O V E).
don't completely forget yr longer hauls while celebration the whims.
or languishing in the whims even.
they are whims!
your imagination has always been delightfully repetitive.
but you're still GOING somewhere.
Aquarius
some strange news about yr finances or yr material blessings could leave you confused.
lean into this unknowing.
let this confusion aid you as you dig your new cave of privacy.
rely on the resources of others.
even if it feels "more difficult" to do so.
that's because it is.
but that is why it could REALLY benefit you.
deciphering yr out of focus yearnings an only bring so much daily satisfaction.
let uncertainty be yr guide.
learn to share better.
Pisces
today and the upcoming days will leave you in a dreamy haze.
you must sort all you know about others, the world, the flowers, society, humanity.
you must sort everything and contain these things.
display them & nourish them, delicately.
but you also must make the choice to put yourself first.
for a minute,
forget the specificity of yr friend and let them come into their own focus.
meet the sea of yr own moods and moons.
the waves never stop and the water continues to be salty.
contain & let go.
contain & let go.
