Overview
On the evening of Sept. 17, a captivating celestial event will light up our sky. Not only will the full harvest moon cast its glow upon us, but we will also witness a remarkable lunar eclipse. This full moon and eclipse will occur in the dreamy sign of Pisces, a phenomenon not seen since September 2016. As the Sun resides in Virgo and the Moon aligns into Pisces during this eclipse, we are encouraged to examine how our daily routines and tasks impact our mental health and unconscious well-being. Full moons present a perfect opportunity for reflection, and this week invites us to contemplate the journey we've taken over the past eight years and the path it has forged for us.
