Pisces Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse Friday 28th August 2026
The Pisces Sturgeon Moon illuminates the sky on Friday 28th August, and we’ll also be blessed with a partial lunar eclipse, where Earth casts a shadow on the moon. This is a time to sensitively tune into our emotion and intuition, express ourselves, and may be a time of heightened feeling with important emotional messages and events.
The Pisces Full Moon doesn’t only illuminate the sky, but our psychic abilities. Pisces detects a fascinatingly wide range of emotions and our sensitivity, perceptiveness and intuition are heightened during the Pisces Full Moon. We are more alert and open to energetic influence and it is crucial that we listen to and embody the messages we receive through sense and emotion at this time as well as pay attention to signs, symbols and our dreams. We must also balance all this heightened feeling with some discernment. Take time to feel everything sensationally and emotionally in the moment and then later, when the initial feeling is settled, reflect on their meaning. Be totally present in the feeling and your intuition as well as in your ability to decipher.
Pisces is a water sign that is particularly artistic, emotionally intuitive and sensitive, mirroring faculties of the sacral chakra with which Pisces shares a relation to water. A vortex of divine feminine energy, the sacral chakra is our seat of creativity, fluidity, sensitivity and sensuality. Now is a time to express with more than just words. Express your feelings, express yourself artistically, express your sensuality and express sensually - in tune with your primal intuition in your body. None of it has to look good, it just has to feel expressive.
This could be a time for big emotional events. It’s no secret that the Full Moon often stirs our emotional tides and brings much to light, and the lunar eclipse makes this effect even more potent and lasting. You may encounter epiphanies and new levels or awareness that ask you to make big changes, you may find you need to express yourself, or you may find that areas of your life holding a lot of emotion shift or even come to a head. Remember that just as water flows and adapts with grace and beauty, water spreads to whatever shape holds it. Let yourself flow but also remember to contain your energy, don’t spread yourself too thin or let your emotions spiral away from you beyond your control.
Interestingly, the Sturgeon Moon was given it’s name due to heightened amount of sturgeon in Canadian lakes in August that provided plentiful fish for native tribes - just like the fish sign of pisces. What a beautiful reminder of how our Earthly lives and the Celestial realms align!
