On September 17, 2024, we have a Super Full Moon in the astrological sign of Pisces.
But this is not just any New Moon, it’s a Partial Lunar Eclipse.
Eclipse energy is that game-changer energy where memorable moments in life are made.
It’s intense, yes, so we can get antsy during this time but truthfully there’s not much you can do to stop whatever the eclipse brings with it so this is a time to surrender.
This is the time to find the silver lining that thing to be grateful for and to trust that if something is coming to an end, if we find we are suddenly having to move homes, change jobs, losing relationships with loved ones, that the darkness we’re experiencing is not an end, rather we are being planted for something even greater. Something we may not be able to comprehend yet.
And I’m saying this to you as much as I’m saying this to myself – this is a period where it’s important to keep the faith. To find a sense of safety and center in ourselves absent any material items. To allow ourselves to explore new ways of thinking, being, creating, showing up for ourselves and others because we may find that what used to work for us or what used to be available for us is no longer.
All About Pisces
Pisces is a mutable water sign, a feminine yin energy, and the natural ruler of the 12th house of spirituality. So it’s a very ethereal, loving, magical, artistic, dreamy energy.
When empowered, Pisces energy is incredibly creative and artistic. People who have strong PIsces energy tend to dress colorfully, they love to live in this fairytale-like state of mind where magic and dreams and fairies all exist. And because I have my Venus in Pisces I have that Piscean hopeless romantic energy in my DNA. So it makes sense that I do believe in fairies and mermaids and magic and I LOVE to talk about dreams and analyze different dreams I’ve had as well as the dreams of my friends, family and even colleagues.
Pisces is a water sign, like Cancer and Scorpio, but unlike Cancer and Scorpio who try to keep a calm outer appearance and let their emotions flow underneath more privately, Pisces energy is not afraid to display feelings. So Pisces sometimes gets made fun of as being a cry baby in a sense because Pisces energy is not afraid to show emotions. But Pisces can be mistaken or led astray, let’s say, by rose colored glasses; for believing that things are good and pure even when they are not.
The shadow side of Pisces energy is very addictive and unstable. And like I said, it’s that energy that keeps you stuck in an addiction even when you know it’s bad for you; that’s the shadow side of Pisces.
And it makes sense because Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and Neptune that addictions would be a shadow effect here, because both planets are expansive. Jupiter is a lucky planet that expands luck or positive rewards in an area of our life. And Neptune similarly expands things, earlier this year, Neptune’s transiting position was actually triggering inflation related to currency. For me, that was just another check mark in the column of reasons to pay attention to astrology.
Pisces has two ruling planets in a sense because Neptune rules Pisces and Jupiter is the old ruler of Pisces
Neptune is linked to lies, deceit, things not appearing as they seem. Jupiter can expand the lie, it can ignore boundaries but it can also expose and reveal deceits, especially those that caused illusions and delusions. Neptune is also connected to pharmaceutical drugs and toxicity, pollution.
Jupiter on the other hand is very future oriented – all about big dreams. Dreaming bigger than you’ve ever dreamed before.

HOROSCOPES
If you are an: Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, and/or Capricorn Rising or Sun: You are likely to enjoy this Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Super Moon in Pisces the most, as you have natal planets and angles forming harmonious aspects. Take advantage of this positive momentum and set a powerful intention in this area of your life.
If you are a: Aries, Libra, Aquarius, and/or Leo Rising or Sun: This is not the most powerful astrological event for you, as your natal planets are not really activated during the Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Super Moon in Pisces. But remember this energy is a build up of energy from the past so something may bubble up. However, keep in mind that eclipse energy doesn’t always affect us greatly. If it did it would be quite exhausting.
If you are a: Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and/or Sagittarius Rising or Sun: You are likely to find this time around the Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Super Moon in Pisces a bit more turbulent as there are challenging angles with your natal planets. Remember challenges are good for our growth. And before we can welcome new things, we have to get rid of the old energy.
