May you find Worship where you Expected Pain
Pisces Full Moon Eclipse Blessings & A Poem
As someone born under a Pisces full moon at the karmic degree & my Virgo sun in the 12th house, as you might guess I have been feeling all the feels & praying all the prayers these last few days.
I enjoy getting into my own emotional world and staying a bit. I delight in the liminal spaces— in long weekends puttering about in my own world. This weekend I found myself altar tending, romancing myself while dancing about the house, praying for the Truth, lighting candles in ritual & writing poems in my notes app in the middle of the night…
While all the lore says that a Pisces moon contributes to delusion, fantasy and boundarylessness… (they aren’t wrong) I might also say that the flip side is the ability to dream up new worlds.
Worlds of deep empathy, compassion and oneness. Worlds of romance and spiritual connection and poetry.
Soul-merging worlds. Seeing-your-innate-goodness worlds.
Mystical worlds. Healing worlds. Intuitive and intimate worlds.
Worlds of wholeness & sensitivity.
Worlds of honoring endings & welcoming new beginnings.
That’s the energy of this moon to me.
“As above, so below. As within, so without,” as Hermes Trismegistus supposedly said. Whoever said it… I bet they had a Pisces moon.
If you’re not used to these Neptunian energies, they can feel like a tsunami, a mist, a fog. So if you’re “in it” today and feeling a tad much of your Muchness, you might:
tune into this podcast to understand the energies.
drink lots of mineralized water (just a pinch of sea salt will do the trick)
light a candle, take a salt bath, turn down the noise & pay attention to what you’re taking in— you’ve got to ground these energies, sensitive one.
write allll the poetry. Say a prayer. Ask for the Truth & nothing less.
feel for your center— if all the directions made an intersection inside your body, where would the center be?
dream up all you really desire. All you really require.
journal through the prompt: If I desired what was optimal, not familiar, what might I desire? If I chose what was optimal, not familiar, what might I choose?
May it be so. May it be so. <3
Below is a little poem I wrote in my notes app, no doubt influenced by this powerful Pisces Eclipse.
Their raging tsunami of sorrow Has always been ready to Subsume me. Looming in the night all my life Panic rushing towards Naturally I’d run. I approach the door of the unknown still terrified. On the ground, they weep Feel it, they say. Let grief have its way. Grace met my forehead and I stepped through the door— I find a meadow Rolling hills inside my chest Fields of green Is this the spot they warned All the pain must be? Go deeper, they say Keep searching. And I do— Down into the well All I can muster is Hallelujah What I found was worship.
May you be surprised and delighted by life.
May you find worship where you expected pain.
May your Muchness find a place to be fully expressed.
May this eclipse reveal to you all that is True.
May you have the courage to choose all that’s optimal for you.
Sending love while simmering in these ooey-gooey-good energies!

P.S. I shared a bit about my new offering Muchness right here. If you’re desiring soulful, spiritual & somatic support, this is where to find it. <3
