Full Moon ~19° Pisces~ Monday 12th September {10.27am BST}

When considering creative expression, there is a soulful component which automatically comes into play. Children are naturally soulful, expressive and uninhibited and will continue to be so as long as they are not suppressed. They will draw with confidence, love with abandon, dance with glee and speak in absolutes. Doubt is taught to them, their behaviour is questioned, their ideas quashed, their expression muted.


Obviously children need to be taught not to pull the cat’s tail, or run into the road; not to grab at the handle of the boiling pan or grasp a shard of glass. An education can also be wonderful; can enhance communication, increase awareness and encourage diversity however there is a point at which almost all children at some point become suppressed, confined and disappointed by the world ~sometimes not until puberty, often many years before.

There remains within each of us the untouched child spirit, it never dies and is linked to our soul expression. In the astrological chart this is represented by the 5th House and links also to Neptune and/or Pisces. This Pisces Full Moon falls in the 5th House of the chart and asks us to look within at our inherent creative, child-like spirit and try to get in touch with this natural and expressive part of ourselves.

We all have a creative element to us but so few of us find the time to allow it to flourish, develop and be nourished. This part of us can be so deep and vulnerable; so easily hurt by criticism, so swayed by popular culture, so dampened by dismissal. In order to express ourselves truly we must find the indomitable, inextinguishable flame of our inner child once more.

Pisces is perhaps the most naturally soulful sign in the zodiac and yet Pisces can be so easily controlled, pinned down and uninspired.

Creative expression is not about success, but those who we remember most for their craft are those who shone out an absolute and indelible manifestation of themselves. It is those who know how to uniquely express their truth; that touch us the most deeply. So many of the most memorable singers are not known for their talent but their distinguishable and recognisable qualities and the same goes for the writers, artists, musicians, designers, actors…. ad infinitum. It is the truth of the soul which makes us stop and stare! Reminds us of what it is within us which we connect to in others~~~~

I can’t help a sad recognition to Amy Winehouse on this note. A very talented singer who developed a style of performing which was not her soul expression, her financial potential was her downfall. Pushed to fill a niche in the market, she lived to a caricature of her talent and having to live beyond your true spirit is one of the most difficult paths anybody can attempt to follow. Ironically she would have had a successful career doing what she loved had she not been bought and sold by the corporation.

Most of us have to ‘sell out‘ to some extent ~ we all need to survive and some of us have a family to raise, commitments to adhere to, or other pressures which loom too ominously to ignore. The important thing is that we DO keep something of ourselves~ for ourselves. That we do remember the small child within who wishes to play~ that at some point in our routines we make time for fun and creativity.

There is something so purifying about expressing the self; like drinking the spring water gushing from the mountain, or the smell of dew evaporating on a hot Summer morning~ all of our senses have a clarity about them that may be indulged and be beneficial to our overall health also.

This Full Moon asks us to find our own truths, the truths which liberate our souls. It also encourages a direct approach to communication, the appreciation of the power of friendship and above all encourages us to find some FUN in life. Let’s forget the recession, how much money we have {or don’t!}, whether we are obliged to be here or there and embrace the spirit of living in a body, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the friendships we share with those we love.

♥ ~~ wishing the spirit of joy to all~~ ♥
