“For the progress of humanity, work alone is not adequate, but the work should be associated with love, compassion, right conduct, truthfulness and sympathy. Without the above qualities, selfless service cannot be performed.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
“Imagine for a moment your own version of a perfect future. See yourself in that future with everything you could wish for at this very moment fulfilled. Now take the memory of that future and bring it here into the present. Let it influence how you will behave from this moment on.” ~ Deepak Chopra
“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” ~ T.E. Lawrence

PISCES FULL MOON – Monday 12th September 05.27 EST / 02.27 PST
The last few months we have seen a slow breakdown of our current system, with global riots, food and oil prices rocketing, the financial system on the brink of collapse, while we are coerced to believe that business as usual is the way out of our mess. We are also ignoring the increasing natural disasters that are affecting us all globally, and putting great strain and pressure on the countries that are affected.
We are living in challenging times, which are providing us with a unique opportunity to start participating in life rather than standing on the sidelines, as passive observers. We are the ones we have been waiting for and if each one of us began to live our dreams we could change the trajectory we are going.
Fortunately, the Moon is here to support us on our paths and is helping us become more aligned with our true desires so we may be the change we want to see in the world. Over a full Moon we see our intentions reaching completion, and our dreams manifesting faster and more magically.
The full Moon energy is at its most potent, so when we are aligned with who we truly are, our dreams and visions, serving our needs and those of humanity and Mother Earth the Moon energy is a powerful ally. When we are in fear and denial, the Moon will shake us out of our fearful slumber, creating chaos and change which can often be emotional and challenging.
This Pisces full Moon is the one that will shake us up even more. The Pisces Moon is the most emotional, intuitive and challenging Moon of the year because it is the one that makes us face ourselves. It brings the focus back to our commitment to ourselves and humanity and shows us whether we are aligned with our dreams, serving ourselves and humanity for the greater good.
Pisces works on the deep spiritual and emotional level, digging deep and drawing out our true hidden inner desires. It illuminates our fear and shows us what needs to change so that we can create the vision of life that we really want.
Pisces Full Moon tells us:
“Now is the time to face who you truly are and what you have created in your life. I am here to show you what is no longer working in your life so you have the clarity and understanding to live your dreams and create a new reality. I am also here to help guide your visions, to show you the way, and connect you to the people that can help you.”
Pisces illuminates our worst fears and our greatest dreams and shows us exactly where we are on our paths. This is a powerful Moon for change as it illuminates the gaps in our lives where we feel unloved, unfulfilled and discontented. For those who have been in denial and fear and ignoring their intuition this Moon brings to the surface the fight between the ego and the heart.
Pisces is represented by two fishes swimming in opposite directions. This symbolises the internal fight between what we think we should be doing and what we really want and desire to be doing. We can no longer hide behind others or our work, this is the Moon that makes us really take a deep long look at whether we are serving and loving ourselves in the process.
For those who did the work during the Virgo Moon and got your house together, found clarity on the direction you are going and what you want to do, the Pisces Moon can serve you fully, by showing you the way, and bringing the people you need into your life to create your dreams into reality.
For those who are still stuck in the fear, the Pisces Moon will illuminate the desire to be more of who you are so that you can break through your fears and start following your intuition. We are much more intuitive over this Moon making it harder to ignore our deep inner desires. This can create confusion and heart ache as we realise the lives we are living are no longer fulfilling us.
We are not victims of life but co-creators of our reality. The Moons are here to guide us in creating the life we deserve to live. Don’t fall victim to the emotional turmoil of Pisces. Instead, utilise this Pisces Moon to help you on your journey by facing and embracing whatever comes up during this full Moon. When we can really accept where we are now right now, we become empowered by knowing we can change it any moment we choose.
I will end this Lunascope with the wise words of Phillip C McGraw:
“At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?”
Love and Blessings

PISCES FULL MOON RITUAL
This is a powerful ritual to hear the intuitive messages from your heart so you can reconnect with your true desires and dreams.
Stand under the full Moon light where you can see the Moon shining down on you. Plant your feet firmly on the ground and feel the soles of your feet connecting to the vibration of Mother Earth. Imagine the energy of the soles of your feet sinking deep down into Mother Earth, through the grass, mud, rock, stones, layers of molton lava, to the huge vibrating Pink Quartz Crystal at the core of the Planet. Now imagine the golden pink light of this great Crystal travelling back up the various different levels of the earth until it enters the soles of your feet and through your body filling your body with golden pink light.
Now imagine the top of your head opening and the silvery white light from the Moon travelling down and entering the top of your head. Feel the energy of the Pisces Moon flooding your body and mixing with the golden pink light of Mother Earth. Imagine you are a conduit for energies of the Moon and the Earth.
Now feel your heart chakra opening, the space between the breasts, and ask the Moon and the Earth for any messages you need to help you on your journey. Your intuition is strong now so the voice will be clear. Often when we cannot hear it, it is because we are afraid of what it is saying. Deep inside we already know what we need to do, so allow yourself to hear it and get clarity.
This is a time to receive the messages rather than set the intentions. The Pisces Moon is here to guide us to where we need to go and who we need to meet in order to fulfil our deepest desires. The more we can be in silence, getting out of our minds and into our bodies we can be hear what our hearts are really saying to us.
If you are ready to let go of something that is no longer serving you another beautiful ritual is to go to a river, stream and throw something into the flowing waters as a way of releasing it. As you let it go thank yourself for the situation you have found yourself in. Now you know what you DON’T want, you can manifest a new reality that is more aligned with where you are now. Just imagine your perfect future and bring it into your heart, into the present. Ask the Pisces Moon for guidance so you can create what you truly desire and deserve.
AUTUMN EQUINOX
We are also reaching Autumn Equinox, the cross quarter festival of the Harvest, when we begin to reap what we have sown over the last six months. Night and day are of equal length and for three days the sun remains static between light and dark before the days become shorter and the nights longer.
This is the celebration of the fruits of our labour, a festival of thanksgiving for the abundance that fills our lives. Where ever you are on your path this is the time to recognise just how far you have come and what you have achieved so far this year. If you are ready for change, this time is also regarded as the start of a New Year and a good opportunity to start something new.
This is a good time to invite family and friends to gather to share the abundance of the harvest crop. Ask everyone to bring a dish to share made from seasonal food. Don’t forget to acknowledge and celebrate the abundance of Gaia as you share her fruits.
Decorate your alter with autumn leaves, seed and nuts and burn orange, green and brown candles. If you have a garden, or even a window box, plant some spring bulbs, or seeds as a metaphor for what you wish to grow in your own life.
Some Info About Me….
This Lunascope is inspired to help us to become realigned with the Rhythm of the Planet, through flowing with the natural cycles of the year and the eight Ancient Festivals of celebration that mark and define our annual cycle. The more we live within the natural flow, the more magic and harmony we will experience in our lives.
We have been bamboozled by a corrupt calendar and even more corrupt concept of time. Through concepts like ‘time is money,’ we have gradually forgotten our symbiotic relationship with the Earth and natural environments. Indigenous communities, since time began had a higher vision for humanity and the Earth.
In 1998, while working in a hotel in Machu Picchu, Peru, things fell apart and I was called by a Shaman in a vision that he had the answers to why I was on this planet? So I flew to the Amazon and found the Shaman nestled in a tiny village deep in the Amazon Jungle. While living with him and his family and taking the Sacred Ayahuasca Medicine I experienced first-hand that we are a part of, not apart from, Mother Earth and all life forms and Nature is a symbiotic partner for our survival. By destroying our natural world, we are destroying ourselves, and quickly.
