The Moon is Full at 4º of Pisces Tues. Aug. 28th at 3:36 AM PDT / 10:36 AM GMT

Dear Moonsurfers,
Get ready for an emotionally disruptive Full Moon!

A total lunar eclipse pops the tail end of a farewell to old self-sabotaging habits and patterns... and an extremely challenging planetary set-up is divinely designed to trigger that transition. It all tells you that you've arrived at a radical turning point and change is a must.

You've undoubtedly felt the tense high-strung energies building up for the past couple of weeks. I know I sure have. The Sun in Virgo and Moon in Pisces respectively call for a balance between inspiration and perspiration... between your dreams and the way you stay positively focused on what's really essential.

Four planets in mutable signs (read change, change, change, change) challenge each other asking you to reflect on the thoughts, beliefs, habits, and feelings that you put your energy towards so you can turn a major corner or two... or four. Which ones support a world of unity and a life of inner peace and which keep you disconnected and back-pedaling away from the life you really want? What you focus on will definitely expand now.

The normal flow is being disrupted so old patterns can be broken up once and for all. Remember that lunar eclipses are emotional and internal, so that's where the biggest changes have to take place now.

I've been so grateful for my lunar journal this month as it's kept me on a heart-centered path and reminded me of the power of play and creativity as these energies wound up. You'll find clues to what this dynamic energy is asking you to recognize and release by looking back in your lunar journal to March 18th when a New Moon in Pisces rocked your world with a Solar Eclipse. You put forth intentions then to say goodbye to undermining emotions, escapist habits, and limiting beliefs so you could focus positively and create an all-'round healthier life. This is your wake up call regarding how well you've done.

Now look all the way back to August 27, 1988. Revisit what was important then and ask yourself what's calling you now. You'll become aware of what you've got to complete, where more faith and focus is needed and what still gets in your way. Focus on what your heart tells you is true for you now. Flexibility, deep full breaths, compassion and empathy are important tools to guarantee sanity. This is a very stressful set up and nerves could be tightly wound, so patience and flexibility are definite virtues.

If you've been working with your lunar journal, then you know what's up... and if not... this is an excellent time to begin. A monster solar eclipse will pop major stuff and a brand new beginning at the time of the next New Moon on 9/11, so don't wait... be prepared to make the most positive use of this awesome energy by joining our worldwide lunar journaling circle today.

Even though this is an undeniably challenging Full Moon, I always look at eclipses as cosmic opportunities, so remember that this disruption and revelation of old emotional patterns and habits actually collapses time and space for the length of the eclipse opening a portal. Significant breakthroughs are promised, but you're the one who has to step through.

Those of you with Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius energy predominant in your chart will feel this most keenly, but all of our lives are being shaken up and prepared for a giant leap in more than one area. Use this eclipse time to your best advantage with a personal reading.

If you're feeling exceptionally frazzled... nerves stretched to the max... don't panic. Even with all the tension and challenges, if you're ready to surrender to your greater plan, release worry, focus, and put a practical plan under your dreams, then this should be a good eclipse... even though it will require you to say goodbye to some things. Emotional upheaval or breakthroughs... both are possible.

While I've been writing this, my computer has crashed again and again and the file seemed to be lost an equal number of times. Repeated surrender to Spirit was key and that's also what eases your path at the time of this Full Moon. So don't let all this energy make you have a heart attack... open your heart, surrender your mind and nervous system to spirit and really get in touch with what's essential in your life.

Spirit does have a plan for you, but you've got to tune in. Intuition is exceptionally high now, so keep your intuitive antennae turned up, take time to reflect and be receptive and the messages you need will come flowing through.

Remember that you're being asked to take a giant leap of faith and radically depart from the past in some way. So employ radical compassion, forgiveness, patience, flexibility, and accept change.

As T.S. Eliot said... "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one
can go."

With Lots of Love and Many Full Moon Eclipse Blessings,
Claudia
