FULL CORN MOON

There will be a dreamy full moon in the watery, ethereal sign of Pisces today. Also known as 'Corn Moon' to indicate the season of the corn harvest, this is the last full moon of the summer and it is set to pull at our collective heart strings.

Pisces is ruled by the astrological 12th house of dreams, secrets, and all that exists but cannot be seen. Indeed, this house is often known as the 'unseen realm' and natives with strong Pisces and 12th house placements are said to be gifted with incredible intuition and even psychic powers

Pisces are life's empaths and are able to tune into other people's emotions and energy almost effortlessly - for better and for worse. Indeed, these tender souls absorb others pain and suffering like a cosmic sponge, although some are able to channel their pain into their art.

Take for example Pisces icons, Kurt Cobain who once declared, 'thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art' and Johnny Cash who when asked why he always wore black, replied, 'I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town'. Indeed, these natives make for some of the world's greatest artists and they will go to great lengths to ease the burden of others.

As the moon will sextile Uranus, planet of rebellion and unexpected events, it is safe to say that this lunar event will bring about change into our lives. The advice here is to be like the fish and allow the natural ebb and flow of life's tides to wash over us. Full moons are an emotional time and coupled with the energy of Pisces, one of zodiac's more emotional signs, there is the potential to let our feelings get the better of us, especially as Venus, the planet of love will square off with Mars, the warrior planet.

However, this is the perfect time to get in touch with your spiritual side and tap into your powers of intuitiveness, (pay attention to your dreams, especially). Mindfulness is also favoured under the influence of this reflective full moon, so meditation, yoga, or any sort of healing work would all be beneficial.

The Pisces full moon is here to remind us that the only way to work through our feelings is to feel them, so don't be afraid to take the plunge and dive deep, you may be surprised at what treasures you find.
