Get Ready for the Full Moon in Pisces Moon Circle! + September’s Astrological Forecast

Hold on to your crystals, folks, because September is about to get deep—in the best way possible! The stars are aligning for some seriously transformative, healing energy, and we’ve got a Full Moon in dreamy Pisces on September 16th that’s going to kick it all off. Whether you’re a seasoned moon enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the celestial waters, this Full Moon Circle is going to be one for the books.

But it’s not just the moon we’re talking about—oh no, this month’s astrological lineup is filled with powerful planetary moves, offering us opportunities for emotional release, transformation, and some much-needed clarity. Ready to dive in? Let’s break it down and see what the universe has in store!

Full Moon in Pisces: Where Dreams Meet Reality

First things first: the Full Moon in Pisces. If you’ve been feeling extra emotional, a little spacey, or like you’re living in a dream (or a nightmare depending on the day), you can thank Pisces. This Full Moon brings out our inner mystic and turns the volume up on our intuition and emotions. It’s the perfect time to reflect, let go of old wounds, and surrender to the flow of life. Seriously, if you’ve been holding onto any emotional baggage, now’s the time to let it float down the river.

Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusions, and higher consciousness, so if you’ve been having weird, vivid dreams (you know the ones), they’re probably trying to tell you something. Lean into that dream journal! And during our Moon Circle, we’ll be tapping into this energy with meditation, journaling, and a release ritual to help us all let go of what no longer serves us.

Lunar Eclipse in Pisces: A Cosmic Reset

Not only is this a Full Moon in Pisces, but it’s also a lunar eclipse—talk about an energetic powerhouse! Lunar eclipses are like full moons on steroids. They bring heightened emotional energy and often signal a time of big, unexpected shifts and revelations.

This eclipse in Pisces is asking us to let go of illusions, release old patterns, and embrace change, especially in areas we’ve been resisting. Think of it as a cosmic spotlight, showing us what we need to see, even if we’ve been trying to ignore it.

During the eclipse, you might find that sudden insights or changes arise, especially in areas of life ruled by Pisces: dreams, intuition, emotions, and spirituality. It’s a great time to trust your gut and let go of what’s been holding you back—because the universe isn’t giving you much choice!

Mars in Cancer: Moody, Uncomfortable, and Ready to Protect

Now, let’s talk about Mars—the planet of action and drive. Mars has made its cozy move into Cancer and will be hanging out there until November 3rd. But here’s the kicker: Mars is in Fall in Cancer, which basically means Mars is not loving this vibe. In astrological terms, a planet is in its "fall" when it’s in a sign where its usual energy doesn’t flow easily. Think of Mars as a warrior being asked to cozy up in a soft, emotional shell—yeah, it's not super comfortable!

Mars typically likes to act boldly, assertively, and even aggressively. But in Cancer, a sensitive water sign that’s all about emotions, home, and nurturing, Mars feels like it’s stuck in quicksand. This can make us feel moody, defensive, and like we’re not sure whether we want to fight or curl up on the couch with a blanket (probably both).

Cancers, you’re likely feeling this transit more than most. Mars in your sign can make you feel extra defensive and easily triggered—especially when it comes to home or family matters. You might find yourself wanting to protect your emotional space at all costs, even if it means snapping at someone who just, well, exists in your space. Don’t worry, it’s temporary, but remember: boundaries are key.

For those of us around Cancers, this Mars transit means you might notice your Cancer friends or family members getting a little more… intense. Be patient—they’re just navigating this uncomfortable energy. And hey, if you need to back off and give them some space, that might be the best move right now.

The opportunity here? While Mars may feel uncomfortable in Cancer, this is actually a great time to channel that energy into emotional protection and nurturing. Use Mars’ drive to create safe, cozy spaces for yourself and your loved ones. You don’t need to charge into battle—sometimes the bravest thing you can do is protect your emotional well-being.

Saturn and Mars in Water Signs: Emotional Waves Are Coming

Here’s where things get real: Both Saturn(in Pisces) and Mars (in Cancer) are currently in water signs, which means, yep, emotions are at an all-time high. If you’re a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, you’re probably feeling this extra hard. But before you start panic-Googling “how to survive emotional overload,” take a breath—this is an amazing opportunity for growth.

Saturn is the strict teacher of the zodiac, and while it’s in Pisces, it’s asking us to grow emotionally, set boundaries (even when it’s hard), and take responsibility for our spiritual and emotional well-being. Saturn and Mars together in water signs might feel like you’re swimming upstream, but the lessons here are all about maturing emotionally and learning how to flow with, rather than fight, the tides of life.

Pluto Retrograde at 29° Capricorn: The End of an Era

Now for the big one: Pluto. It’s currently retrograde at 29° Capricorn, and this is the last time Pluto will be in Capricorn in our lifetimes! Cue dramatic music. Pluto has been hanging out in Capricorn since 2008—remember that year? Yeah, the one with the global economic crash? That was Pluto, shaking things up and transforming structures worldwide.

Now, as Pluto prepares to finally leave Capricorn (for real this time), it’s asking us to reflect on the changes we’ve undergone since 2008, both personally and collectively. What old systems or ways of thinking are you ready to release? What outdated structures need to go to make way for the new? This is a time for deep transformation, so don’t be surprised if some big realizations start bubbling up.

Mercury in Virgo: Time to Get It Together

Feeling a bit disorganized lately? Don’t worry, Mercury is swooping in to save the day when it moves into Virgo on September 9th. This transit is like a cosmic spring-cleaning session for your brain. Virgo loves order, details, and efficiency, so if you’ve been procrastinating on your to-do list (we’ve all been there), this is the perfect time to get things done and tie up any loose ends.

Use this energy to organize your life—whether that means finally cleaning out your closet, sorting through emails, or just making a solid plan for the month ahead. Mercury in Virgo is also great for communication, so don’t be afraid to speak your mind, especially if it’s about something practical or detail-oriented.

Venus in Libra: Love, Harmony, and Relationships

Last but definitely not least, Venus is sliding into her home sign of Libra on September 23rd, bringing balance, beauty, and harmony into our relationships. Venus in Libra is all about partnership and fairness, so this is a wonderful time to smooth over any relationship rough patches, make peace with a friend, or just appreciate the beauty in the world around you.

Feeling romantic? Venus in Libra is also perfect for rekindling that spark, whether it’s with a partner or, let’s be honest, with yourself. Self-love counts too! Plus, Libra is ruled by Venus, so this transit is all about surrounding yourself with beauty, indulging in art, music, or anything that lights up your aesthetic side.
