Full Moon in Pisces and Lunar Eclipse
Full Moon in Pisces and Lunar Eclipse
The full moon is in Pisces tonight. This is an especially powerful moon, affecting emotions, understanding and insights. This is a time for release and for creativity.
It’s at its fullest around 10 PM tonight, (or early Saturday 12:18 am EST if you are on the east coast) The partial lunar eclipse that begins around 10:34 PM and reaches its maximum point at 12:13 AM ET Friday, according to EarthSky.
I often feel strong emotions and energies around the full moon, (waking up in the middle of the night is pretty common,) but this one has been extra strong. I’ve not slept much in the last 2 nights. While awake, my mind is reeling with thoughts, emotions and ideas. I feel a strong pull to let go of so much baggage holding me down, old ideas and beliefs, relationships that drain my energy, and stuff I no longer need. And at the same time, I feel drawn to explore new ideas and new directions, distilling things down to an even more focussed path.
If you are feeling this too, here is an exercises to play with tonight as the full moon rises.
Full Moon in Pisces: Let go and Create
Water is an important element of the Pisces Moon, so we will be using it as a tool. Get some water, 2 sheets of paper and a pen. You may want to choose 2 markers, one water based and one sharpie or permanent ink.
On one sheet of paper, write down things you want to release (in water based ink.)
These may include:
Old beliefs that no longer serve you (fear, scarcity thinking, perfectionism)
Relationships that drain your energy or block your growth
Habits or routines that keep you stuck (procrastination, people-pleasing, self-criticism)
Past hurts, resentments, and grudges
Expectations—of yourself, others, or outcomes
Limiting identities (I’m not creative, I’m not worthy, I’m not enough)
Overcommitments that leave you depleted
Fears about failure, success, change, or rejection
Toxic environments or possessions that clutter your life
Stories you tell about what’s possible for you.
On the other sheet:
Write down things you want to create (in permanent ink.)
These may include:
New beliefs that support you (I am capable of…)
The healthy, nourishing relationships you want to build.
Decide on some daily habits to boost your wellbeing (movement, rest, creative time, journaling)
Things that bring you joy.
Ways to cultivate a sense of play.
A career or work to pursue that aligns with your values and gifts.
Ways to build a supportive community or chosen family.
Building a peaceful, safe and cozy living space.
Financial stability and freedom.
A creative practice or project you’re excited about
New stories about what’s possible—bold, creative and true to your values.
If you are not sure what to write, consider this:
What feels heavy or repetitive in my life right now? Put it on the release sheet.
What lights me up, even a little? Put it on the create sheet.
What would make my days kinder and clearer? Add it to create.
What do I keep explaining away or tolerating? Add it to release.
When you finish writing:
Take the release sheet and pour some water over it, or submerge it in the water, whatever feels right for you. The water is washing away the things you no do not need or want in your life anymore. Dispose of this page when you are finished, it is no longer needed.
Take the create sheet and sprinkle some water across the writing. You are watering the things you want to grow. You may take this paper and place it in sunny spot where you can see it often, or bury this sheet in the garden, under some flowers or plants, which will remind you of the things you are growing.
The Full Moon in Pisces
The Full Moon in Pisces heightens intuition, emotion, and the world of dreams. This phase dissolves barriers between conscious and unconscious, inviting a gentle surrender to what the heart and imagination reveal.
Themes to expect
Intuition & psychic insight: Dreams, gut feelings, and subtle synchronicities become clearer. Pay attention to symbols and recurring images.
Emotional release & compassion: Old feelings may surface for healing. This is a compassionate time to forgive yourself and others.
Creativity & spiritual practice: Artistic inspiration and mystical experiences are amplified. Meditation, dreamwork, and creative play are favored.
Boundaries & discernment: Pisces’ dissolving quality can blur limits. Notice where you need healthy boundaries versus where surrender serves you.
Practical guidance
Journal your dreams and feelings for insights that emerge now.
Do a gentle emotional cleanse: breathe, bathe, or do a short ritual to let go of what no longer serves.
Create: paint, write, or play music to channel Piscean energy into forms you can hold.
Set compassionate boundaries: practice saying no kindly when you feel overwhelmed.
Practice grounding: walk barefoot, do simple yoga, or focus on the breath to stay anchored.
