-♡-♡-♡- READING SUMMARY -♡-♡-♡-

We started this Pisces full moon/lunar eclipse reading with The World in reverse. This card has been coming up a lot throughout my recent collectives, pointing towards an area in our lives where we have been struggling to close out a cycle. There has been a lingering area in our life that we have been clinging to by the threads. The 4 of Cups reversed at the bottom of the deck points to new opportunities that have been trying to make their way into our lives, yet we’ve been looking the other way and not feeling quite ready to accept this new endeavor. This is likely showing up in our relationships, business endeavors, and our personal beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. We may really be struggling to close out this cycle and move towards this new cup, potentially out of fear of making the wrong choice, or just feeling “addicted” to the cycle we are currently in.

We may be stuck in some confusion right now, having the energy and inspiration building in us, but not having the trust to take that leap yet. I feel we are in a period of examining our emotions, and how we have been feeling overall lately and what has been contributing to those feelings. The desire to move forward is there, but we are a bit burnt out from the recent situations in our lives. I do believe this energy is a great time to slow down and meditate on where we are emotionally, and how this has been affecting our decisions. I heard 12 years at this part, so there may be something that has been a longstanding cycle to be examined. Part of this is going to be recognizing the people in our lives that have been more critical to us and our dreams, and deciding what kind of relationship we really want to have with this kind of person.

With Saturn retrograde happening in Pisces alongside of this moon, we may feel pushed to examine our structures and what has and hasn’t been working for us. Consider the past 1-2 years as Saturn has been moving through Pisces; where have you been struggling to gain structure? Has it been your mental health, your money, your addictions? We may get a burst of insight regarding these struggles that will help us figure out how to move forward.

The 10 of Cups came out, a welcome energy of love and fulfillment. However I do feel this card is coming to remind us to take a well-rounded review of where we’ve had our focus: have we been obsessively working on our mental health while neglecting our physical health? Where is balance needed to really feel this overall fulfillment? I feel for most people there is a need to focus more on physical health and make sure we are getting enough rest and movement. With all this energy building in us, we need to ensure we have proper outlets for it. 

10 of cups

We are very close to ending this cycle though, soooo close to really moving into this 10 of cups energy. This is something you’ve dreamed of, that you’ve wished for, and the Virgo New moon we had 2 weeks ago was a nudge to remind you that your dreams are YOUR responsibility. Only YOU can make them happen. 

I feel there is conflict we’ve been navigating in our close connections. Someone who has been nitpicking us, criticizing the way we are moving, speaking pessimistically on our goals. This is a sign to LET THIS PERSON GO, or at the very least, set some boundaries and limit their influence on you! They are not you, they may mean well deep down, but their criticism is not helping anyone.

When asking what we need to know with this full moon, we had The Lovers reversed. Again we are reminded that it is time to make a choice, we’ve been sitting at this fork in the road for awhile now, hoping that the choice will make itself for us, but that just isn’t happening. This is especially prominent in how we are spending (our time, money, energy).

I can see we’ve been trying so hard to progress and move forward, but we keep feeling thrown backward. There is something here we’ve been neglecting, likely the choice you’re afraid to make. Avoiding addressing this situation will not make anything change and we will continue to move in circles until we make a choice. For those that this is about a relationship, this is a good time to examine where our limits are and what we are willing to compromise. We are in a 4 of Pentacles energy, brick walling any new connection and opportunities. Strength comes out to remind us that we can be strong and face these indecisive parts of us so we can move towards that 10 of Cups energy again. 

4 of pentacles

Rest is very important here as well. There’s a feeling that you’ve been on go-go-go mode and burning yourself out so that even though you want to make a decision, you have no energy left to consider what choice to make. So this is your reminder to TAKE BREAKS. SLEEP! 

The 3 of Pentacles came back to remind us that it is okay to let go of the negative critical people and welcome in the people who are here to give you support and constructive criticism. There is also a lot of wisdom within you that you have been ignoring and looking to external validation instead. You may have been subconsciously seeking someone to give you the answers that you’ve been looking for. This is your reminder that these answers and within YOU. Take the time to find them. Don’t force it though, you can just have fun being creative, and the insight will emerge. Your intuition works best when you give it opportunities to come through (when you’re relaxed/ in a flow state).

The 7 of Cups comes out to confirm that this is a confusing time, and that there are situations that aren’t what they seem. I feel this is a situation that you KNOW isn’t what it seems. This may be someone who lacks integrity, and keeps trying to sweet talk us that they will change, but their actions don’t back up their words. This person may have broken promises over and over, but we keep wanting to forgive them because they say “they’ll try harder next time.” Is there evidence to back this claim up beyond words?

7 of cups

It is time to make a choice, even if you don’t know what the “right” choice is. We are allowed to make mistakes, and either way things will be illuminated and we will be more informed. The 9 of Swords shows we are really anxious, possibly losing sleep over this situation. Your anxiety is not a fact, it is trying to protect you from painful experiences, but what it’s really doing is stressing you out before anything even happens, and causing you to avoid making things better out of fear of doing the “wrong thing.”

We are all human, we all make mistakes and choices we wish we could change. That is okay. It is okay if you make a decision today and then realize you want to shift course down the line. You are not stuck being committed to one path. It is time to really look deep and see where your soul has been pulling you.

The oracle themes we had for this reading were the Integrity, Compassion, and Awaken cards. Integrity has been coming up for almost every moon reading I’ve done for the past few months, really pushing that need to align with our values, and to examine who in our life is moving with integrity.

Compassion is needed for us first and foremost, to realize we are human and deserve love and compassion even when we make mistakes or move out of our own integrity, and we can also hold compassion for other people (but we do NOT need to accept their behavior, we can empathize though.)

Lastly, we have Awaken. This really points to the intense energy that eclipses bring, and the impactful realizations to be had during this time. This Pisces lunar eclipse is a preview to themes we will be dealing with collectively starting in January when the nodes shift.

The New Chapter card was at the bottom of the deck, pointing to the fresh start that is on the horizon. That 10 of Cups is almost here. It is within reach, but we need to make moves to welcome it in. Shadow work will be prominent here as well, which means looking at the things about ourselves that we’ve stuffed down and ignored. Not just “negative” qualities either: this could be suppressed talents and “positive” qualities. It is time to Awaken to the power you hold. Awaken to the potential you are sitting on. 

We have a lot of good on the horizon, we just gotta get through the muck and hard decisions. Such is the way of life. Remember the Virgo new moon: only YOU can make your dreams come true. Follow your dreams and your passions. They are there for a reason.

THEMES: Integrity, Compassion, Awaken

-♡-♡-♡-

As always I like to mention the previous new/full moon of the current moon sign so that we can look back and see if these themes have been present and reoccurring for us. The last NEW moon in Pisces was March 10 2024. The last FULL moon in Pisces was August 30 2023. Check your journals or your camera roll to help jog your memory.

I hope you have an insightful full moon & Lunar eclipse ♡
