September's Full Moon: Equinox & Pisces - Meaning & Energy

This will be the full moon on Monday, September 20 at 10:55 pm PDT.

It will be aligned with the constellation Pisces. Pisces is a very intuitive, visionary and emotional sign, very sensitive to energies. It is also the last sign of the zodiac. Old emotions can come up to be released, let go. Neptune near the Moon makes us very idealistic and mystical. This is the time to hold on to the vision of the world we want to see manifested!

The moon will be in the lunar mansion called Uttara Bhadrapada in Vedic astrology (Pegasus). Its deity is Ahir Budniya, the dragon of the deep, Ananta, the serpent of Vishnu and his first servant, who maintains the whole universe. He is linked to the kundalini and enables us to dive very deeply into ourselves. This is the time to practice meditation and Bhakti yoga!

Mars is very close to the Sun in the coming days, which can make us irritable, impatient, and impulsive. However, this is favorable for taking action.

Venus is very happy at home in Libra until October 2 and this is a time to be creative, surround yourself with beauty and open your heart to unconditional love!

Six planets are retrograde, three of which are important until October 18 (Jupiter, Saturn and, from September 27, Mercury). This slows us down in the manifestation of our projects or brings delays. In addition, Jupiter, planet of expansion, has just retrograded into Capricorn with Saturn until November 21 and we can expect further restrictions and confinements.

This full moon also marks, according to Vedic astrology, the Pitru Paksha, until the new moon on October 6. This is a time to honor our ancestors and break down family and ancestral karma. It is said that the veil between us and them is thinner during this time.

The autumnal equinox is on the 22nd at 12:20 pm. It is best not to do anything important, such as starting a new project or making an important decision, the day before, the day of and the day after the equinox, as this is a time of transition. Happy Full Moon and Happy Equinox!
