Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

Eclipses often act like catalysts in one or two areas of your life. This lunar eclipse on August 28 in Pisces on a Full Moon will heighten your emotions. Since mystical Neptune rules Pisces, your psychic abilities and spiritual interests will be at their peak. Neptune also rules creativity whether in music, art or writing so this eclipse will be a fertile time for projects you’ve longed to bring to light.

However, if you’ve hidden your creative gifts or spiritual nature, your true self will begin to emerge. This can be unsettling, especially if you’ve tried to keep all this expressiveness under control. Yet in the end, it will lead you to living more fully.

This Pisces moon rises during the season of earthy, no-nonsense Virgo. This means that your creativity must be directed and channeled. Pisces energy can sometimes dissipate itself by over-commitment to too many projects. Fortunately, Virgo will help you focus, to commit and to begin to bring those heaven-inspired dreams down to earth.

Every Full Moon in the monthly cycle is a time for culmination. It always indicates a shift in matters at hand, and this eclipse in particular marks a transition into an exciting new chapter. Here is how the eclipse will affect each sign:

Aries
You may have been rushing headlong through your summer, but now you are inspired to slow down and envision your true purpose.
