Full Moon
Full Moon in Pisces
A Full Moon in Pisces is when the Moon in Pisces opposes the Sun in Virgo, bringing the tension between surrender and order to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Pisces, opposite the Sun in Virgo, it lights up the pull between letting go and keeping things in order. A feeling you have been holding, a need for rest, or a quiet longing of the spirit tends to rise to the surface now and ask to be felt. It is a soft, reflective time to release what you have been carrying and to let your imagination breathe, as long as you do not drift so far that you lose touch with what still needs tending.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
The When two planets sit directly across the zodiac from each other, about 180 degrees apart. It creates tension, awareness, and a pull between two sides that need balancing. of the lights, the Moon in Pisces against the Sun in Virgo, was read as a moment of fullness and visibility. The Jupiter-ruled Moon set against the Mercury-ruled Sun marks the old tension between dissolution and order coming to its peak, a time of culmination and, often, of release.
