Known as the Corn Moon, September’s Full Moon in Pisces arrives on Sunday, September 7 – but how much do you really know about the upcoming astrological event?
With the help of celebrity astrologer Inbaal Honigman, interactive tarot and psychic reading platform Tarotoo lifts the lid on the meaning behind the event, which also marks a total Lunar Eclipse, where the Earth’s shadow hides the Moon.
Known for symbolising a time of peaks and successes, Inbaal explores the lasting impact the New Moon could have on different areas of life, as well as the star signs most likely to be affected.
She also reveals how this cosmic turning point may leave you feeling exhausted in the days that follow.
What is the Full Moon in Pisces?
“The Full Moon in Pisces, also known as the Corn Moon, will appear in the sky on September 7th. Pisces is a romantic and sensitive water sign. When the moon is in this sign, it means that here on Earth, we would be feeling more attentive to our partner’s needs, more inclined to add love into our lives, and more dreamy in general.
“The Full Moon is a time of peaks and successes, and since Pisces is such an intuitive sign, we could be seeing visions of our future goals realised. It is a time to close our eyes and imagine what life would be like when all our desires become reality.
“The Corn Moon is also named the Harvest Moon by Native American tribes, as this is the time of gathering the grains. This September Full Moon is also known as the Ricing Moon, again referencing mature crops. Other names are the Black Cherries Moon or the Mountain Shadows Moon.”
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
“This Full Moon in Pisces will also see a total Lunar Eclipse. This happens when the Earth’s shadow hides the moon, so the sun’s light can’t be reflected from it. In astrology, the Lunar Eclipse stands for extreme endings, deep emotional realisations, and inevitable growth. The eclipse brings to the forefront emotional patterns and situations that are better off left behind.”
How will it affect your sleep?
“Pisces is a dreamy sign, and so this Full Moon in Pisces, especially during an eclipse, would be a time of vivid dreams and even lucid dreaming. Whether sleep is long or short, you’re likely to wake up exhausted, with a brain full of question marks. Lengthy dreams with drawn-out plotlines may make you feel as if you didn’t get a moment’s rest while you were sleeping.”
How will it affect relationships?
“Pisces is a romantic daydreamer, therefore the time of the Pisces Full Moon will be a time for love and relationships. If you have a crush on someone, make your move by fascinating them with your creative gifts and musical tastes.”
How will it affect friendships?
“Pisces is a sign that forgives but never forgets. Old friendships can be reestablished during this time, but mistakes from the past will be discussed. If a friend promises to do better, you will believe them.”
What are the star signs most affected?
Cancer: “The ruler of the sign of Cancer is the moon, and therefore all full moons impact this sign, especially if they’re eclipses. This romantic full moon together with an eclipse will help Cancer put a full stop at the end of a bad relationship, and gain the emotional courage to start a new one.”
Virgo: “During Virgo season this year, we will have a Lunar Eclipse and a Solar Eclipse. This Full Moon will knock you out of your hyper-organised habits and will allow you to fantasise a bit. By the time the Solar Eclipse rolls around, you’ll have gotten all the daydreams out of your system and you’ll feel excited to be planning and organising again.”
Pisces: “The Tarot card that represents Pisces is the Moon, and your relationship to the moon is not surprising. Just like the moon you are fond of fantasies, dreams and illusions. The time of the Pisces full moon is just right for setting some unrealistic goals and doing your best to achieve them. Anything is possible when the moon is round.”
