The magical blue moon, the second one in August, falls in the Pisces sign on August 30, 2023.
Pisces is a sign known for intuition, spirituality, and creativity. During this full moon, you might sense déjà vu, trust your instincts, or have vivid dreams. Pisces is linked to Neptune and Jupiter, representing dreams, psychic insights, but also potential for deception and self-doubt.
As Pisces governs the 12th house, associated with endings and hidden matters, we might encounter various conclusions or tap into our subconscious. Psychic connections with others could strengthen, but Neptune’s influence might create confusion. It’s better to consciously move forward (guided by Saturn in Pisces) and stick to your ideals (influenced by Jupiter), rather than getting lost in confusion.
Neptune encourages creativity and compassion, but Pisces can also be prone to deception, lies, or unclear beliefs. It’s crucial not to be overly optimistic. Now isn’t the right time for new ventures or relationships that lack a firm basis in reality.
However, as this moon aligns with Saturn, it’s a moment to confront personal realities. Whether it’s for better or worse, Saturn prompts us to see things clearly. If we’ve been overly optimistic, it’s time to focus on reality with Saturn’s influence.
Sure! Mercury is in retrograde, causing delays. Moon-Saturn transits highlight responsibilities or obligations that need attention.
Let’s take a look at how the full moon in Pisces affects the zodiac signs.
Aries
As this moon shows up in your 12th house, you might feel like spending some time alone or end up in a situation where you feel a bit separated. The 12th house deals with places like hospitals and jails, along with secluded spots and things tucked away in our minds. No matter the situation, you’ll be focused on your own personal reality. Take a break, reflect, and ponder on what truly matters.
Taurus
This moon lands in your 11th house, related to friends, groups, hopes, and wishes. Your attention now revolves around your social circle or the company you’re part of. It’s crucial to understand the true nature of those close to you, giving you a deeper insight into shared experiences and revealing who you can rely on and who to take less seriously.
Gemini
The moon graces your 10th house, linked to your career and reputation. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself in the spotlight, getting a clearer picture of how others see you. Take a moment to reconsider your career path and whether it aligns with your growth aspirations. If not, it might be time for a change.
Cancer
The moon is in your ninth house, overseeing education, travel, and your personal perspective on the world. During this time, you might reflect on your spirituality, beliefs, morals, and philosophies. There could be a journey in the cards for you, or something or someone from a distance might grab your attention.
Leo
The full moon graces your eighth house, associated with change, transformation, finances, intimacy, and mortality. Whenever the full moon visits the 8th house, changes are likely happening, whether big or small. It’s a time to contemplate your feelings in your relationship, if you’re in one, and perhaps consider some shifts.
Virgo
This moon is positioned in your seventh house, which is all about ‘others.’ This includes your spouse, romantic partners, and those you encounter daily like co-workers and close friends. The focus now is on your connections with others. Are you content in your closest relationships? Are you getting what you desire, and are they? This moon prompts an evaluation of all the agreements, spoken or unspoken, you have with others.
Libra
The sixth house looks after work and health, as well as your everyday activities and routines that often slip under the radar because they’re so woven into daily life. Now is a good moment to ponder whether your daily routine and lifestyle are logical or if you’re open to making some significant changes. If you’ve delayed making improvements to your health or visiting the doctor, now is the opportune time to catch up in that department.
Scorpio
This full moon oversees your fifth house, which deals with children, friends, and romance. If you’re connected to kids, whether as a parent or a teacher, they might be your main focus now. Otherwise, seize this full moon to socialize with friends or partners and have a good time. Scorpio, more than others, should make the effort to enjoy some fun and make the most of the final full moon of the summer.
Sagittarius
This moon falls into your fourth house, which relates to home, family, and foundation. You might spend time at home or engage with family in some way. Alternatively, it’s a good time to question whether the fundamental aspects of your life, like your job, physical home, and family, are giving you the support you need. If the answer is no, now is the time to figure out how and where you can make changes that will benefit you the most.
Capricorn
This full moon appears in your third house, which relates to communication, immediate family, neighbors, and communication. You might spend time with any of these or notice a surge in mental activity during this moon phase. Are you content with your life as it is, or do you yearn for change? If the latter, now is the time to initiate it.
Aquarius
The full moon is situated in your second house, governing money, income, and possessions, drawing your attention to these matters and potential financial transactions. On a deeper level, the second house is linked to values and self-esteem. Do you tie ownership to your sense of self-worth? If so, it’s an opportune moment to sever this negative association.
Pisces
You, Pisces, take the spotlight as the moon graces your first house of self. When a full moon illuminates your first house, the focus is on you, and occasionally on your significant other if you’re in a relationship. You may sense a heightened connection with your true self, so embrace this enchanting lunar energy and feel the magic coursing through your veins. Being a Pisces, known for compassion and intuition, let your creativity and kindness radiate over the next few days and welcome a fresh perspective of yourself.
The Pisces full moon happening now is not just any full moon – it’s a rare blue moon and a supermoon.
It marks the last full moon of the summer and is dubbed a ‘blue moon’ because it’s the second full moon in the same month. The term ‘blue moon’ dates back to the 16th century when people used it to describe something considered impossible. On average, we only get a blue moon about once every 33 months or 41 times in a century.
This Pisces full moon is also tagged as a ‘supermoon.’ Supermoons appear closer to Earth and shine brighter. They’re linked to intense weather and earth-related events. For instance, the August 1, 2023 full moon, also a supermoon, led to severe issues in Hawaii and California, with some of the worst wildfires in a century and the first tropical storm hitting California’s coast in over 80 years.
When the moon is in perigee, its closest point to Earth, tides are notably affected. This particular full moon is the closest of the year. Another supermoon is on the horizon for September 29th, but this one is expected to be the brightest of them all.
