Pisces Full Moon @ 7 Degrees

August 30th 2023

The moon will be full and Super on this Full Moon in Pisces! The impact and influence of this full moon will not only allow us to release the deep emotional currents of our past relationships, but it will also allow us to full embrace who we truly are on a deep emotional and spiritual level! Transcending what we used to know and fully immersing in the unseen, the unknown of our relationships to others and ourselves.

Venus is exalted in Pisces. This means that Venus operates the best when it is in the sign of Pisces. This is a sign that this full moon will do its job as long as you do the inner work to support it! Your relationships will flourish, and you will flourish! With Venus currently retrograde in Leo, all of these experiences you are experiencing in your reality is a direct reflection of your inner needs and desires!

Pisces is all about being compassionate, forgiving, loving, and truly giving oneself to another. Forgiveness is the main topic of this full moon pairing itself with Venus, the planet of love and relationships, and the overall things you love to do!

Here are some shadow work questions to get you prepared and intentional about what you really want to release so you can move forward and develop more loving and deep connections. You will have thoughts about people from your past that have hurt you, or you may have hurt, to be forgiven.

The only way through, is through! You are strong enough to dive deep and release what no longer serves your present life. You deserve the happiness love and abundance the Universe is offering you. Learn to let go and accept what is.

Allow life to do what it is meant to do, change. Allow yourself to flow with it.

SHADOWWORK QUESTIONS:

Do you know person you are when you're having fun, being joyful, and energetic?

Do you have time for fun?

Are you being your true authentic self to yourself? Are you comfortable being this self around others?

How do you internally feel about standing out and being different?

What does having fun and play mean and look like to you?

If you have children, how can you develop your own inner child through your child/ren?

What type of relationships did you emotionally attach to in the past and why? What emotional need were they fulfilling that you couldn't give yourself?

What are your deepest desires out of life?

What relationships (romantic, familial, plactonic) from the past keep you from opening up and being your true authentic self now?

What fears keep you from being authentic?

What fears keep you from opening up and being the loving being you already are and sharing it with others?

Write these down or keep a mental note! Asking yourself these questions may pop answers into your reality to show you where you need the healing. Pay attention to social media posts, quotes, visual images, that evoke a sense of nostalgia from your past and pay attention to how you FEEL in these moments. Your emotions are signals for your true needs and a signal towards your wounds!

Acknowledging and accepting the past will only lead to internal freedom!

The Full Moon in Pisces is a week and a half to two week cycle before entering into the New Moon in Virgo. Allow yourself grace and compassion during this time as you are releasing and healing wounds you haven't addressed yet.

All love and peace!

Full Moon Ritual Ideas and Journal Prompts

Working with the Full Moon

During the full moon we have the chance to step back and reflect on all that’s been created during this past lunar cycle. It’s important to also take time to pause, reflect, and let go of what you no longer need.

The full moon is a time to embrace gratitude for what you have been given and what you have accomplished. Even if you’re not where you’d like to be, and even if you’ve had setbacks, you likely still have something you can find gratitude for and something you’ve done that you can be proud of. Appreciate your own resilience and strength.

The full moon is a time to:

Express gratitude

Reflect on what you’ve accomplished this past lunar cycle

Reflect on what has been illuminated for you this lunar cycle

Release what no longer serves you

Do your own tarot reading or get a tarot reading for the month ahead

Here are some ideas to try when putting together your own full moon ritual. You can mix and match, add or subtract to any of these. Just think of them as jumping off points for your own intuition and creativity!

1. Make a Sacred Space

For me, this is a vital step to get me into the right headspace for ritual. Surround yourself with things that taste, sound, smell, look and feel good to you and help you relax. I have certain incense and music that I only use during my moon rituals, just hearing that music or smelling that incense can instantly get me ready for ritual.

2. Ground Yourself

Grounding yourself can be done in lots of different ways, but my favorite is doing a simple body scan meditation where you feel into each part of your body one after another. Another great grounding technique is the 5-4-3-2-1 technique where you name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.

3. Journaling Prompts

After grounding myself I generally start my ritual with journaling. Journaling can be a great way to connect with your gratitude, challenges and make peace with what you need to release and let go of. Every full moon I create a sacred space (even if it’s just in my house!) and spend some time journaling, with some of the following prompts:

What am I grateful for right now?

What has happened in the past month that I feel most grateful for?

What do I appreciate about my own mind, body, and spirit?

What tiny miracles show up in my world?

What do I love most about my life right now?

What do I love most about myself right now?

What obstacles and challenges have taught me meaningful life lessons recently?

What’s one of my favorite memories from the past month? What’s one of the hardest?

How have your relationships changed and grown this past month?

Was there anything holding me back from reaching my goals this month?

What did I spend too little or too much time on this month?

What do you need to surrender to this month?

I choose to let go of the things I can’t control, including…

What secrets are you holding onto and what harm are they causing?

Which relationships in your life no longer serve you?

4. Tarot Card Reading

After journaling I like to give myself a tarot reading for the month ahead. You can see the spread I use to try on your own, or get a reading from me. Make sure to record your reading and your thoughts in your tarot journal to reference later!

5. Release

The last step of my full moon ritual is releasing what I no longer need. As we move towards the waning moon, this is a great time to let go of the old to make room for the new. The simplest version of this ritual is writing what you wish to release on a piece of paper and then burning or burying it. Adding sigils to your paper or burning it with banishing herbs is a great way to enhance this ritual.

6. Closing

After releasing I normally like to do something small to close my ritual. This will vary from month to month, but anoint myself with ritual oils, or take a ritual bath to cleanse and recharge myself until the New Moon.

I hope these full moon ritual ideas and journal prompts have given you some ideas for your own full moon ritual. Working with the full moon can be extremely powerful and rewarding! Let your intuition guide you!

Practical Things I Think Witches Should Research

Cultural Appropriation

Closed paths and practices

Cult warning signs

Spiritual Discernment

Herb interactions (i.e. how they interact with your medications, if they are poisonous, if you are allergic, can you ingest them, etc.)

Fire safety (for candles, smoke cleansing, incense, etc.)

Crystal Care (learn if your crystals will dissolve in water, if they can be in the sun, if they can be in the cold, etc.)

Pet Care (make sure herbs don't have poor interactions with your pets, make sure you know what to keep away from them, etc.)
