The astrological calendar is going crazy this September. It feels like we need to just surrender to the universe and see where things take us, because the stars are holding all the answers and we’re just waiting to find out what happens next! But we don’t have to take a backseat in our own lives-even though the universe is going to take us for a wild ride, we can still be proactive. And when we feel the effects of the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 16, we’ll realize why we can’t afford to be passive.
Sounds like a lot of take in, right? Here’s what to expect and how to take it all in stride:
- Learn to let go with grace.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, and it can represent endings. And since an eclipse generally also signals endings and new beginnings…be on the look out for signs that things are about to change in a major way. Letting go doesn’t have to be painful. Not everything is meant to stay in our lives forever, and transitional periods like this can be beautiful if you embrace it.
- Be realistic-where do you need to make changes in your life?
Sometimes, the universe will send us down a new path even if we don’t actively choose it. Other times, we need to harness that energy to make a positive change. It’s the perfect time to do a little reflecting-what do you NEED to let go of? What is preventing you from pursuing your true purpose in life? Answer these questions honestly, and begin to take action-the energy of the eclipse will help guide you.
- Trust your intuition…
Some say that Neptune, the planet that rules Pisces, can send us into a spiritual “fog”-but if we listen to the universe, Neptune really provides clarity, not confusion. Neptune’s energy will be extremely high during this eclipse, so it’s important not to get lost in the “fog.” Listen to your heart and let it be your guide. Don’t overthink, don’t overanalyze. You already know the truth-let this eclipse help you accept it and take action. You may want to turn to meditation or yoga to practice mindfulness and thinking more clearly. These are powerful tools during this eclipse.
- …but be skeptical of those who want something from you.
Some people unconsciously take advantage of this time. They sense a sort of disturbance in the general atmosphere and realize that they are able to trick and manipulate others. Do not immediately trust those who seek to gain something from you. Be especially wary of political media.
- Don’t be afraid to start dreaming big.
2016 has been a difficult year, and recent astrological events have probably left you feeling drained and tired-both emotionally and physically. Use this eclipse as a time to not only let go of negativity, but begin again with positive changes. Start dreaming big, and then start doing-you never know where those dreams will take you.
