Lunar Eclipse in Pisces - Good News Disguised as Bad News

 On Sunday September 07 we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees of Pisces. Eclipses happen twice a year, about six months apart. The last pair of eclipses was in March earlier this year. Eclipses happen in pairs with a Lunar and Solar Eclipse occurring within two weeks of each other and are in opposite signs. This month we have a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces and a Solar Eclipse on September 21 in Virgo. The week before the first eclipse to the week after the last eclipse is sometimes referred to as "eclipse season" and is a time of change and disruption.

Lunar eclipses often bring to light things that are hidden like secrets and scandals. Anything that has been hidden from the light tends to get exposed under a lunar eclipse. This particular lunar eclipse is in Pisces, a sign that is about spirituality, dreams, the subconscious, creativity and the collective. Lunar eclipses in Pisces can reveal hidden mental or emotional health issues, reveal spiritual truths to us or make us more psychically aware. While these truths may initially be upsetting or disruptive, they are trying to help us to grow and heal. I often find that eclipses are trying to get us to course correct, so if we are off the path a little we receive a little nudge from the Universe. However if we have gotten way off course, then the message will be more dramatic.

This Lunar Eclipse is opposite Mercury in Virgo and trine Jupiter in Cancer. Oppositions often manifest as an event in the outside world, in this case a message, as indicated by Mercury who rules communication and travel. Virgo rules over routines, work, physical health and even pets. Expect to hear news in one of these areas that confronts your sense of spirituality, mental health or creativity. It could be that we may have to adjust our routine, make health adjustments, or there are changes at work that may affect our sense of well being and ask us to find a better balance. We are being helped by the trine of Jupiter in Cancer, as the planet of luck and expansion tells us that these changes are ultimately for the best. The changes we make will allow us to grow in the areas of home, family and creativity. 

The Sabian Symbol for this Lunar Eclipse is "The Flow of Inspiration". This symbol is connected to our spirit guides and angels and how the Universe is bringing us messages if only we would stop, slow down and listen. This Full Moon we are being asked to pay attention to the messages and follow the guidance we are given. While the information we receive may not be what we want to hear initially, it does turn out to be helpful in the long run. If you can this week slow down, step back and take note of what is happening around you. The inspiration you receive will be worth it.
