On August 30, 2023, we will experience a full moon at 7 degrees of Pisces. It will impact individuals with planets and positions between 2-22 degrees of this sign in their natal charts the most. But it will likewise influence individuals with planets in Cancer, Scorpio, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius at the same degrees. Full moon phases are a great time to conduct release rituals to let go of the old and make way for the new. They are also ideal for harnessing the moon’s power in other beneficial ways.
This full moon will definitely have us in our feelings as this sensitive luminary body teams up with equally sensitive Pisces. Full moon cycles bring things to culmination. And because this activity occurs only days after Uranus retrogrades in Taurus, many will be quite emotional.

Some may actually see their desires come to fruition at this time. This energy is very potent as Pisces is a visionary and helps us manifest our desires with depth and efficiency.

Emotional Healing
For many, this full moon will bring emotional healing, especially related to financial, romantic, or health-related trauma. You may find it easier to let go of things no longer serving you in these areas. But because Pisces is in the mix, it is very likely that you will be quite teary-eyed with so much water energy at play. Don’t be afraid to let go – crying is a great way to release pent-up emotional trauma. You can also journal, seek out a counselor or coach, or engage in meditation to help you get through this time.
Escapism
Pisces is also notorious for encouraging escapism behaviors like addictions, avoidance, etc. This typically happens when one isn’t ready to deal with their emotional wounds. Instead, they turn to alcohol, substances, work, sex, etc., to avoid their problems. Sadly, doing so only compounds them. With the full moon in Pisces in August 2023, you need to be extra careful with your vices.
Jupiter Quintile Saturn
On the same day as the full moon, Jupiter in Taurus will quintile Saturn in Pisces. This is a very harmonious aspect that can bring about creative inspiration and expansion in our physical world.

Jupiter Retrograde

Yet, this is introspective energy and retrograde periods often have us contemplating life changes. So, you will likely be deeply reflective about your financial situation since Jupiter will be visiting Taurus. However, I will cover the ins and outs of this activity in a separate post.Â
Last Quarter Moon in Gemini
This full moon cycle will wind down in the sign of Gemini on Sep 6, giving us a chance to settle into our emotions. Likewise, it will give us a break from unstable communication dynamics.

Pallas in Libra

As she stations in Libra, we can expect to achieve a bit of balance in these areas. You may find that your emotional sensibilities are more stabilized as you think about things from a more logical perspective.

Cancer’s focus is on the home in almost every respect. So, chances are your attention will be deeply rooted in your home life during this phase.
You may be in the process of purchasing a new home or making improvements to your current home. Or you could find yourself caring for one of your parents through old age or sickness. Whatever the case may be, household affairs will be of utmost importance to you during this period.
And with so much emphasis on the home and family sector over the next few weeks, you may be digging into your ancestral legacy.
