Occurring exactly at 7:55pm EST, tonight’s full moon in compassionate Pisces dissolves our resistance to even the most dazzling, drastic change. All full moons are big releases, and while the sun is in caretaker Virgo, you count on an unusually soft landing as you let it go, let it go. 🎵
The key word is enchantment—ceremony in our collective psyche—so avoid mood-altering substances, as they’ll only block the bigger magic afoot. (There’s a reason “lunacy” derives from the Latin word for moon.) Instead, drink plenty of water, take a purifying salt bath or swim, and do some light stretches or dance to a favorite song, perhaps while dressed in something beautifully flowing. Caftans are ideal.
Because tonight closes a loop begun on March 13’s new moon in Pisces, take a moment to consider: What wishes planted then can now be harvested? What six-month cycle can draw to a close? Make sure to request guidance for any progress you can’t yet envision for yourself and, if you want, write all this on paper you subsequently burn as a symbolic act. Above all, consider what’s been too to scary to give up. Then give that exact thing to the moon herself. She’s always happy to help, especially if you agree to meet her halfway by writing down your dreams tomorrow.

In all my readings this week, I have been asked: How can I manifest positive change? It’s a beautifully September question, and it reminds me that sometimes the importance of shadow work is overlooked in manifestation practices.
To will something into being, we don’t have to tackle our shadows—our toxicity and trauma. Through affirmations, visualization, and white knuckles, we can summon nearly anything–marriages, money, even fame. But without self-reckoning, we project our shadows into whatever we manifest, ensuring we’ll encounter more problematic versions of them down the road.
I was just about to head upstairs to post about tonight’s new moon/year when I heard of Michael K. Williams’ death. Now I am writing this on my stoop–in the same neighborhood where he lived and died– with huge tears running down my face.
I saw the brilliant actor, activist, dancer, and choreographer around a lot–sometimes at film events, sometimes just drinking coffee in the park–and he was always unwaveringly gracious and kind. That such a radiant light only got 54 years is beyond painful. As Roy Wood Jr tweeted today: “All I want is for black entertainers to be able to grow old.”
