Pisces Full Moon: Idealism and Hope

Full Moon in Pisces, Sun in Virgo

It’s the second Full Moon in August. When there are two Full Moons in a month, the second is called a Blue Moon. “Once in a blue moon” as the saying goes: we see a reason to be filled with hope and joy.

I just finished two weddings in Vancouver this week. What a gift. To be fresh in love, to have the world in front of you with nothing but hope. An audience who wants to celebrate your love, and you get to kiss in public with a promise of forever. One of my dearest friends whose child was getting married was talking to me about grandkids and the beauty of this life – as we sat in front of the ocean, having just jumped into the cold Pacific that felt so alive.

I asked her: “What do you think about climate change and the future of your grandchildren?” Quickly she said: “Oh no, we aren’t going to talk about that to my kids. I know what’s coming but we do not go there.”

“Once in a blue moon” is a saying that really has left us flat. At this time in our history — alive for one million years, we have seen so much – there is a scary, underlying feeling that something is wrong. That we are going along waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us. We live with that feeling.

However, the Full Moon in Pisces carries a sliver of optimism. The idealistic dreamer in us has hope. It sees the positive possibilities and believes they can come true. Right? Pisces has the wisdom to see what is, and to hope for better, for the ideal. Part of that is acknowledging the good we have in our world – focusing on what does work, what is getting better. There are so many new and advanced things in our world:

1. We learn Astrology with a computer now – no more heavy math & chart drawing
2. We talk to anyone, anywhere with a camera, with the touch of a button
3. We can get food from any country with our phones, plus they will deliver the delectable meal within the hour
4. You no longer need recipe books, just a button to find all the goodies – push and voila
5. A new song appears on social media blowing up to 60 million views all in one month (or week or day) with no album or need to buy the record
6. We fly through the air in electronic tubes at 500 miles an hour and feel safe
7. Our psychic abilities and intuitive gifts are now sought out openly and worthy of attention
8. Women are Astrologers/Rabbis/Priestesses and play significant roles in government
9. Past lives and Akashic records are now discussed in many circles without fear
10. Where once Yoga was left to the Far East, it’s on every block of every town in North America
11. Bicycles have electric motors and can last for 50 miles without plugging in
12. Everyone carries a smartphone – even your grandfather

See what I mean? There are so many new, vital, positive things under the Sun. “Once in a blue moon” may be a dated phrase but the concept of seizing opportunities is not. The power of change, of living up to our ideals, is anything but dated.

This next month we are opening our doors to our Applied Astrology school for the last time this year. Can you imagine an Astrology school online with classes all week long that will allow you to become a practicing Astrologer and even better, a kinder person because we watch you fall in love with yourself? It’s pretty amazing and we feel so blessed to have this wonderful community of people who are shining their light in the world. “Once in a blue moon,” as the saying goes, you find something that speaks to your soul and you heed the call, changing your life in ways you never knew possible.

This Pisces Blue Moon has such newness – and yes, there are heavier conversations that will be had, but for now we’ll wait. They’re not going anywhere. There are too many reasons to stay positive while we can.
