Today is Friday, Sept. 9, 2011. The Moon is in Aquarius until about 3:27 pm EDT tomorrow and in Pisces the rest of the weekend. It is coming up on its full phase at about 5:27 am EDT Monday. This is a powerful and very likely emotional Full Moon, opening up our receptivity to psychic energy while the Virgo Sun keeps us grounded.
If you’re especially empathetic, having the psychic floodgates open up this particular weekend might feel a little overwhelming. The 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 incident is the day before the Full Moon. This means a lot of the emotion that has been building all week, both in relation to the astrology we’ve been experiencing and in anticipation of this anniversary, will be culminating with an especially strong lunar boost. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself and others expressing this emotion more intensely than usual. This is nothing to be afraid of, but it is something to be aware of. Remember that Full Moons are polarizing events and we tend to externalize the relationships they symbolize. On top of that is layered the uncomfortable relationship Western culture has to grief, and the polarizing nature of the Sept. 11 tragedy itself plus current media coverage.
Carefully track any feelings of being pulled in opposite directions and any intuitive messages that may accompany that sense of pull. In fact, Full Moons are traditionally good for breaking deadlocks in life. Any impasse that is a good candidate for movement will be indicated by the signs involved. In the case of a Pisces Full Moon, it may be that you don’t even see there is a deadlock until the Full Moon brings it to light.
