Blesséd Full Moon in Pisces & Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse, Shining Souls! ⚪️ ♓️

“The lunar eclipse is essentially a supercharged full moon. Similar to a standard full moon, you can expect a series of ah-ha moments, hard truths, and reality checks that ask you to make a decision one way or another. Some sort of conflict or tension is coming to a head, and through this peak intensity you’ll be able to better understand what path will lead you to resolution.

However, remember that the energy here is supercharged. While you might normally be able to do a cleansing ritual, make a game plan, and move at your own pace during a regular full moon, an eclipse throws caution to the wind and forces you to accept the harsh reality of what you are experiencing. Don’t stress, you still have free will and the ability to control your reactions. Just remember that a lunar eclipse takes whatever has been sitting in your subconscious and forces it to the surface so you can no longer evade it. . . .

The August 28 lunar eclipse is in Pisces, which makes the need to trust in the unknown even more necessary. Pisces lunations bring on spiritual awakenings and a heightened sensitivity. There might not be a dry eye in the room by the time the eclipse hits its peak, but a good cry could be exactly what you need to realize you've been holding on too tight; it's time to let go.

Pisces' ultimate lesson is surrender-letting go of control and a need for specificity. At the moment, the sun is in Virgo, so all we can think about is controlling the narrative and following a regimen. Our mission is to find acceptance within the unknown, to learn how to roll with the punches rather than forcing our way down a rigid path.
Understand what needs to happen for closure to occur. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, so whether we are ready for it or not, this is the end of a cycle.”

27 August:

Communicate with others thoughtfully, never absentmindedly. Do things that are uplifting; don’t merely pass the time. For time is an inheritance: However little or much has been allotted to you, spend it wisely, or it will be frittered away.

26 August -
Devote less time to passive entertainment, such as watching television, and more to understanding things for yourself. Passivity is to creativity what floating on water is to swimming.

“Therefore go for refuge to the Supreme Mother without delay, with sincere hearts. She will accomplish what you want.” ~ Verse 1.19 (The Devi Gita)



Breathe. Chant. Meditate. Turn to Her. Seek refuge in the Great Goddess. Take up residence there. Allow Her to work through you. Experience Her eternal presence in your heart.
