Full Moon in Pisces — 7 September 2025
Doubting the Past to Make Room for the Future
On 7 September, the Full Moon rises in Pisces, directly opposite the Sun in Virgo. This polarity is always about dissolution versus discernment: Pisces seeks to dissolve boundaries, while Virgo defines and refines them.
Looking more closely at the exact degree (15°22'), the Moon in Pisces peaks at the degree of doubt (Gate 63.5), while the Sun in Virgo sits in the degree of confusion (Gate 64.5). The Nodes are also nearby, with the South Node in Virgo and the North Node in Pisces, setting the backdrop for this Full Moon.
This is a moment that speaks of transforming memory into something more graceful — a confrontation with the past through doubt.
The Full Moon in Pisces and the Nodes
The Moon brings the pressure to question our current position as we move into the future, while the Sun highlights the initial confusion and imagery that arise before we make sense of the past. The South Node activates the degree of actualization (Gate 47.2), marking a period when the collective is drawn to frame past experiences in a more coherent way.
You may find yourself revisiting values or behaviors you once discarded. As a different person now, it is worth reconsidering whether these aspects can serve you from a higher perspective. In this way, the past aligns itself with the future.
Confusion, though often viewed negatively, plays a vital role. All information begins as confusion: it signals contact with something new. In this state, the mind is flexible enough to create new neural pathways. This Full Moon offers a period when we are free to re-arrange our perspective on the past and see it differently. As long as we remain in confusion, there is still room to play with possibilities.
Doubt and confusion will naturally stir, making space for what lies ahead: the North Node in Pisces in the degree of openness (Gate 22.2). Here, the collective movement points toward emotional openness, a readiness to receive and transmit grace. The actualization of our memories provides the necessary foundation for this. Whether we reach it fully is not guaranteed, but it is the direction in which we are headed.
Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts
This Full Moon reminds us that Virgo and Pisces are not only opposites but complements. Virgo dissects the parts; Pisces dissolves them into the whole. Their union is not balance for balance's sake, but a pattern greater than the sum of its parts.
- Doubt (Pisces) dissolves and questions the logic of the future.
- Confusion (Virgo) dissects and questions impressions of the past.
- The Nodes set the direction: the South Node presses us to make sense of the past, while the North Node ultimately says it is for us to embody grace.
Closing Reflection
On 7 September 2025, the Full Moon in Pisces does not ask you to cling to the past or rush blindly into the future. It asks you to doubt what you have been repeating, to let confusion soften certainty, and to trust that what remains will open the way forward. With the collective mind activated, the temptation is to over-explain. But the true path is to let the mind work without pressure to act, allowing clarity to emerge in its own time.
