“You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float. And this is exactly the situation of faith.” ~ Alan Watts

The tides of change and upheaval continue to ebb and flow in and out of our waking, daily lives now.

Some swift waves of collapse come in to clear away debris of old, and others trickle in more gently, nudging us to surrender our gripping hands of sand and release the sediment of decayed soil. We are swimming now in the waters of deep soul purification and transformation.

Eclipse season is well underway and uncertainty and change are the name of the cosmic game. We can show up in fear and paralysis of what we can’t see just yet, the new vision forming, projecting our stories of what could go wrong, or perhaps, choose the higher road, and see things from soul vantage point of how things could go better than we even imagined. The new dream seeds have been planted. Gestating in the darkness, awaiting their time to bloom. May we remember that nature never rushes and is always right on time for its divinely designed appointment with life. And that we are of that same makeup and God consciousness. Only in mind’s pushing and controlling eye did we forget we are that. May we remember to have unwavering faith in the dreams and visions of soul. That just because we don’t know the how’s and nitty gritty details just yet, it doesn’t mean we aren’t already co-creating with the universe.

So we must keep reorienting back to love and faith. Repattern and release programs and adaptations of ancestral fear. Remember that we are here to hold the frequency of love now and create heaven on earth. And a little bit of delusion and belief in that reality goes a long way. That we can truly recreate the world from the ground up, inside out now. To shift the timelines of fear, darkness, doom, and destruction back into hope, love, and possibility of remembering our divine blueprint and bringing those soul truths back online.

We are straddling now between the old worlds we are shedding and the new worlds we are birthing. Each time we choose faith in the face of fear. Hope in the face of doom. New life in the face of death. It takes great courage to exist at this time in a human body and not collapse with the old systems crumbling but rise like the phoenix into the new architecture of humanity we are building in mind’s eye vision still, yet to take root in the 3D tangible form. We are the dreamers, mystics, weavers of possibility, and the bringers of unknown into form. This is the Virgo/Pisces axis of which we are all walking and heeding the evolutionary lessons until August 2026. And this will be the energy of the eclipse season, beginning with the lunar eclipse and full moon in Pisces on September 7 at 2:08 p.m. EST and at 18 degrees of the mutable water sign. The second of three Pisces lunar eclipses, with the final culminating the Pisces journey in August 2026. Eclipse season brings the snow-globe-shaking upside down factor. A time of great change, unexpected plot twists, new developments forming, and new timelines and dreams activating as we are asked to courageously release the old karmic weight.

The Virgo/Pisces axis brings body and soul energy. Reminding us that we are in a body (Virgo) as a soul (Pisces) for just a little while and it is our divine mission (Pisces) to bridge the higher frequencies and consciousness deeper now into the form (Virgo). We need both after all to exist here on this planet. Pisces is the Ha (meaning sacred breath in Hawaiian) and without breath, we would not exist. These bodies would cease to exist. And pass from one form on into the next form of u’hani, or spirit (Pisces). These precious kinos (bodies) are the vessels for the mana (the power of nature) to flow in unison with the universal life energy. As souls, we chose this sacred mission to be alive in these human bodies and to bring higher states of consciousness and love into the lower unconscious spaces of fear and separation. This is the journey home we all are on, whether we know it to be true or not. All at different stages and points of awakening. The Pisces energy reminds us of this truth and to have compassion for all souls no matter where they are at on their own spiritual journey or life quest. To release the judgment and forgive the self when we habitually go into states of judgment.

We are in Virgo season now, as the sun makes its annual transit through the grounded, detail-oriented, practically focused, health- and service-oriented sign. A time to refocus and shift our daily routines to better be in service of our energy. To recognize patterns of over-giving and step back from deeper travel into states of depletion and burnout. To better modulate our energy usage on a daily basis. Tending to the health of the body and mind becomes crucial. Knowing that the two are intimately interwoven and interconnected. Only in Western medicine’s model of separation and brokenness, did we learn that they were not connected and that symptoms were a problem to be fixed and remediated. Symptom management became the default rather than root-based healing. Perceiving the body as a problem to be fixed, a system to be controlled, and a mysterious entity wreaking havoc on us when things go awry. Our culture and society has perpetuated a model of disconnect from the body. Add in to that foundation a little trauma and you have a whole host of dismembered, disembodied, disassociated individuals walking around with their heads attached to a body unfelt and unintegrated let alone even sensed or felt.

Virgo energy reminds us that it is a gift and privilege to be in these bodies. And, sometimes we may not understand the language or messaging of them when imbalances are being mirrored back to us through the language of the body. The mind may want to take over and control and manipulate the body to “behave.” All a symptom of a disembodied society. We need not shame ourselves for digesting and assimilating these patterns of survival. We did what we had to do to survive in a society bent on separation and fear and distrust of the body, of the consciousness of God, forgetting that there is deep wisdom and healing held in these bodies. That the body is constantly trying to seek homeostasis and healing. Cut your leg and what happens? The white blood cells rush to the scene of injury to eat debris and kill bacteria, a phagocytosis process that just naturally happens without us intervening at all. Blood cells clump together and clot to protect the wound. A period of inflammation follows before the final stages of remodeling of new cells. What a freaking miracle! We are truly walking miracles in bodies. We only forget because we’ve been programmed to believe the body and its symptoms are against us. This is the crux of our Virgo healing journey. To remember that the body is always on our side and speaking messages to us. That sometimes physical healing can only truly begin when we address the nervous system, the energetics, or the trauma and emotions underneath.

Virgo energy rules the digestive system, of which many of us in westernized cultures with poisons, toxins, and repressed trauma have just sort of gotten “used to” regular digestive disturbances as “normal.” Virgo energy reminds us to cleanse and purify our bodies but also to purify our toxic thoughts and beliefs too. That perhaps the fear is the true toxin. When we’ve been overly focused on cleanses and detoxes, we can be unconsciously signaling to the body this belief in brokenness and a felt sense of not being safe in our world and environment. Virgo energy reminds us that digestion begins in the mind and nervous system. In Ayurvedic medicine, digestion is not only related to what we are eating but how we are eating and what else we are consuming: sight, auditory noise, emotions, life experiences. The state of our digestion expands to how we are digesting and assimilating (or not) our emotions.

With the sun in Virgo, we are reminded that routine and consistency matter. But to not get fixated or bogged down in the heaviness of all we must do in a day. The never ending to-do lists can paralyze us and keep us trapped. The shadow of Virgo energy can be spinning into a tizzy of anxiety, or the overly self-critical, perfectionist, constantly doing and never resting, overly controlling energy. The light side of Virgo is here to remind us of the sacredness of our bodies, our daily rituals, and our service to the world and others. Ruled by Mercury, Virgo energy can be rampant with mental energy to boot. We must be careful to not drift off into worry, anxiety, overthinking, and analysis paralysis. How to channel the anxiety better or ground deeper into stillness and the earth when we are spinning off is key here.

We had a new moon in Virgo on August 23, at 0 degrees, kicking off our eclipse season portal. With the sun and moon both square to Uranus newly in Gemini, and for the first time in 80 years, our minds were getting a quick jolt and makeover. Uranus is the awakener. Awakening the mind to more possibility and truth existing outside the fabric of this reality. Opening ourselves up to information beyond this realm. Shaking up our routines that have become stagnant and stifled.

This full moon in Pisces will continue this journey of release and letting go, on a a deep soul level, as it will be conjunct the north node in Pisces at 15 degrees. This energy offers up the invitation to close out a major cycle of growth and to open to what truly is elevating our frequency now. We are in this void and liminal space of what is leaving and what has not yet come into form. Pisces energy is all about the formless. The unseen realms. The realm of spirit. Ruled by Neptune, our dreams become activated here. And, so too, can delusions, escapism, and illusion ensnare us in their tantalizing grip. The overwhelm can be amplified here and patterns and habits of escapism and numbing out through substances or behavior can be illuminated. Having compassion with the self is first and foremost—reminding ourselves that we are still loved and safe, and that we aren’t here to judge and condemn ourselves into change anymore.

As we are working closely with the north node in Pisces, the soul path calls us forward. Where are we ready to awaken even more to our soul gifts and mission in this lifetime? Many of us have taken or will be taking soul pilgrimage journeys with this Pisces north node energy. Taking trips to sacred places of spiritual calling to activate us, to meet our fears and alchemize them back into light. Soul quests are activating for many of us on the path of soul already and our intuition is our guide to where and when we must go. Pisces energy is of our intuition and spiritual knowing, our inner guidance system that knows what we know without knowing how we know it always. Reminding us to trust what we feel even if the logical mind (Virgo) wants to know all the details of how it will come together. Pisces reminds us that it is enough to trust our intuition and spiritual guidance system. This is what we are releasing as the Virgo south node moves its way through the collective. Releasing the overuse of our logical minds to trust what we know and feel intuitively. To continue to unwind patterns of gripping, control, distrust, overthinking, and fixation on perfecting the details. Pisces reminds us to see the bigger picture unfolding, the higher spiritual perspective of life when we get mired in the monotony or heaviness of karma clearing.

As Saturn has newly made its way back into Pisces during its retrograde motion staying there until February 2026 for the final time this cycle, we are asked to keep releasing and clearing the karmic energy. Trusting that we are truly done with certain energies and cycles in our lives and ready to surrender them once and for all. Neptune will be joining Saturn in its own retrograde return to Pisces in October and stay until January, before it officially enters Aries as well. Neptune here reminds us that something must end so we can begin anew and step out into that new adventure of life. With these two outer planets shifting back into Pisces, we can anticipate some extreme weather events happening in the next few months (as if we haven’t already had some) related to ocean and land changes.

Pisces energy governs the lymphatic system, the feet, and the immune system. With Virgo sun energy in the mix for this eclipse, we are reminded to tend to the waters within. To tend to our health and also to trust if and when we get sick, knowing that the body is already working to release and detox some energy unseen by us. Pisces energy connects us deeper to the waters of our creativity. To channel our creator energy into our divinely inspired creations. To bring our dreams to life. To tap into our creativity as our fuel source and life source in times of great chaos, change, and uncertainty. To tune into the higher frequencies of soul when fear, anxiety or heaviness seeks to derail and capsize us out to sea. To reestablish a healthier work and rest life balance. To know that constant productivity and producing is not sustainable. And that we need rest in order to truly be of service and light in the world and to ourselves.

This full moon in Pisces brings in other planetary support and aspects to support us on the soul path reclamation and realignment. With the sun conjunct Mercury, also in Virgo (and at home here), our mind and consciousness are awakening to the details of the next steps we need to practically take. Our inner and outer communication is focused on making plans and bringing things into reality. Our minds could be extra active here too, so must heed the times when we need to pause and let the mind rest and find stillness. With the moon opposite to Mercury, we may feel and sense intuitively some withheld truth we need to express and communicate to self or other. We may feel extra sensitive here around our communication with others, so tread lightly and kindly. Saturn conjunct Neptune both in Pisces brings the continued breakdown and dissolving of old outdated structures so we can birth a new world built on spiritual truth and purpose. Both Saturn and Uranus sextile Pluto in Aquarius, remind us that opportunities for change and transformation are at our fingertips if we have the courage to release the old and be open to the unexpected.

Just two weeks after this Pisces full moon, we will have the second of the eclipses in Virgo, for the new moon and solar eclipse on September 21 and at 29 degrees of the earth sign. Big endings to come still for many of us. Eclipse season is chock-full of it and we must continue to surrender to the higher wisdom and soul path, or else be dragged kicking and screaming to release the old karmic weight. We have creative choice now. To choose the new path for ourselves rather than be forced to do so. These energies are truly here to support us taking that active co-creator role.

Let this full moon and lunar eclipse break down what isn’t meant to come with you. Let the breakdown be the breakthrough to more. More you. More truth. More soul. More purpose. We’ve tasted the possibility of the dream and now can’t go back to sleep. We can no longer sleep on our dreams. We can sense them, taste them, feel them. We are remembering how to activate our dormant dreams again from past lifetimes even where true harmony and abundance did once exist in these realms. Though we’ve existed in an asleep system for eons now it feels like, many souls are remembering and awakening to lifetimes where we were free, where abundance and vitality were our natural state. We are awakening to the truth of these energies on the soul plane and bringing them now into this reality. We must keep the faith and keep walking one step forward and then the next on the path. Get too far ahead and we lose our footing and traction.

Let this full moon remind you to take the soul journey one step at a time. Breathe and pause. Reconnect to higher purpose and guidance when you forget where you are going and why you are going there. Allow this full moon to stir your compassionate heart for self and others on the soul quest. Let the waters of this full moon and eclipse bathe you in permission to soften and let go. Surrender to the becoming of your own soul. That the earth is here to support us and we are in partnership with the elements to bring to life our visions and dreams. Allow this full moon to cleanse and detox you of fear that was never even yours to begin with. Let love seep in the cracks and crevasses and fill you up whole again. Let the light and darkness swim and merge in sacred duality of co-existing realities. Breathe. In. The. Life. Force. Of. Your. Sacred. Wellspring. Surrender. To. The. Soul. Call. Remember. You. Are. Creator. In. Form. Formlessness. Finding. Form. Through. You. Just. As. You. Are. Enough. Sacred. Soul. Let. The. Soul. Magic. Remind. You. How. To. Dream. Big. Cast. Your. Net. Wider. Now. Into. Love. This. Love. That. You. Are. Aho. Amen. And so it is.
