Working with the Full Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces 28th August 2026 05.18 BST

The Full Moon is the time for reflection, assessment and gratitude. Here are some questions to ask yourself and help you make a deep assessment.

● Assess your progress on your goals and plans, are you keeping to the plan? 

● How much progress and improvement did the week of Increase that came with the 1st Quarter Moon achieve? 

● How have you handled any setbacks or problems? 

● What is your emotional state, is it up, down or variable?

● What is your mental state, are you stressed or stable? 

● What can you truly feel grateful for in your life, achievements and progress?

The Lunar Eclipse deepens the work for this Full Moon, which is covered by the shadow of the Earth. This is a partial Eclipse so not all the Moon is obscured. This is the time to look at;

• What in your outer, material world is obscuring your deepest dreams, hopes and nature

• What is out of balance in your life

• Whether your heart and head are in alignment or working against each other.

• What you are doing for others that is impacting on what you should actually be doing for yourself.

Pisces is the 12th and last sign of the Zodiac and is the sign of soul growth, karma and the inner journeys of self development  -  I BELIEVE

The symbol for Pisces is two fishes swimming in opposite directions. It is one of the Dual signs and shows that Pisces has the ability to change direction when necessary, can see both sides of a situation and the inner and outer workings of people and happenings. It can also show someone who is not in balance and jumps from one thing to another without thinking clearly of the consequences, living purely on emotion without logic and facts to balance their behaviour.

When the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse is in Pisces your focus is on bringing a better balance to your life, taking account of your emotions, but not letting them rule your behaviour. 

It’s time to look deeply at what you truly want from life and whether you are on track to achieve it or are letting other’s expectations and demands drown out your own desires.  

 Reflect and assess on these points, they will assist you in future planning and setting priorities. 

● What you need to transform 

● What situations, habits or relationships you need to end or change

● What you need to regenerate, bring back or work harder on.

When you have asked yourself questions, seen what is good, what needs to change and what you need to bring in it is time for some Gratitude practice. Look at these areas and give thanks for what you see. 

● Your life - home, family, friends etc 

● Your work 

● Your goals and the plans you have set up to achieve them

● Your personal growth 

● What lessons you have learnt through this process 

The Tarot Card that is associated with Pisces is The Moon. It shows the soul’s journey through life.

There is a crayfish which represents the new soul climbing out of the water - the deep, creation, birth. It will need to pass between the two animals that represent the animal nature we all possess, meaning we learn discipline and inner strength.

The walls represent the persona, life and attitudes we build around ourselves to support and protect ourselves through our lives.

It is our task to travel the path that we see between these and make our way through life standing firm on the earth and doing what we can or have to for our physical and social growth whilst keeping our hearts and deepest selves strong under the light and guidance of the Moon.

This card is therefore asking us to keep the balance between our hearts and minds, our inner and outer selves and our dreams and actions.
