The Equinox (September 22) feels like a forced restart for our systems this week, highlighting where we need to find more balance and compromise in our lives. But before we get there, the full moon in Pisces (September 20) promises one last crescendo before Virgo season ends.
Practising self-compassion and forgiveness is the prescription of the full moon. Explore how it would feel to say, “thank you” instead of “not good enough!” to yourself and your body. Full moons are always emotional, and this one could feel extra intense. Rather than flailing around madly, let yourself surrender to the surrealness of it all. Keep expectations low when it comes to productivity and instead, focus on what (or who) you’re ready to forgive – even if it’s just yourself.
