Just when you thought 2025 couldn’t get any more mental, the cosmos has decided to throw us a super blue moon in Pisces. Because clearly, what we all needed right now was an emotionally turbulent celestial event to match the absolute state of everything else.
For those keeping score at home (and frankly, who has time for that when the weekly shop costs more than a small mortgage), a super blue moon is basically when our lunar friend decides to show off by appearing both larger and doing an encore performance in the same month. It’s like the moon’s having its own little tantrum - rather fitting, really, considering the general mood of the nation.
So there I was relaxing after a nice little baked potato and cheesy beans supper when there is a tap on the narrow boat door. It was a passerby saying my bean bag was now getting blown downstream… bleep…double bleep….okay.
It was floating in the reed beds on the opposite side of the canal.
Bleep! (Us English swear….it’s our language we are going to use all of it, get over it! )
So I have a little rubber dingy which I tow behind the boat used to stow the rubbish sacks that I don’t have room to store on the boat. So I pulled the sacks out and pumped up the sides a little more and the next thing I know I was paddling my dingy down the canal to get my bean bag.
How the bleep does this life feel real to anyone?
Answer, it doesn’t. With a Super blue moon going on in Pisces everything is a probable illusion and nothing is real. Time to tune the world out for a bit and listen to some mellowed out tunes or whatever…for the next 3 days.
What Does Pisces Have to Do with Anything?
Ah, Pisces. The zodiac’s official drama queen, ruled by Neptune - the planet of illusion, confusion, and things that make about as much sense as current government policy. When the moon parks itself in Pisces, we’re all supposed to become more intuitive, emotional, and spiritually connected.
Brilliant. Just what we needed when half the country is already crying into their cornflakes over energy bills that would make Scrooge McDuck weep.
The astrologers are having an absolute field day, of course. They’re telling us this is a time for “emotional healing” and “spiritual awakening.” Right, because nothing says spiritual enlightenment quite like wondering whether to get the car filled with petrol or eat this week.
The Perfect Storm of Cosmic Comedy
The timing is absolutely chef’s kiss perfect. Here we are, with a government that changes direction more often than a weather vane in a hurricane, and stirring up more trouble than Elon Musk and the universe decides to amplify our emotions with a super-sized moon in the most feelings-heavy sign of the zodiac.
Pisces energy is all about going with the flow, which is rather ironic considering most of us are currently drowning in the flow of bills, inflation, and the general sense that somewhere along the way, someone lost the instruction manual for running a country….incompetence or deliberate, that is getting to be scary question?
The super blue moon is meant to be a time of heightened intuition. Well, my intuition is telling me that paying £8 for a pint is taking the absolute piss, but I’m not sure that’s the cosmic wisdom they’re on about.
Swimming Upstream (Like Everything Else)
Pisces is symbolised by two fish swimming in opposite directions, which feels remarkably appropriate for where we find ourselves. One fish is desperately trying to swim toward financial stability, while the other is being swept away by the current of “what fresh hell is this now?”
The mystical types will tell you this super blue moon is perfect for manifestation and setting intentions. Lovely. I’m manifesting a government that doesn’t treat the economy like a game of Jenga played by toddlers, but somehow I suspect even lunar magic has its limitations.
The Silver Lining (Because There’s Always One, Apparently)
Look, despite the cosmic chaos and earthly shambles, there is something rather poetic about a super blue moon lighting up our soggy little island. It’s a reminder that even when everything’s going tits up, the universe still puts on a decent show.
Plus, Pisces energy does encourage compassion and empathy - qualities we could all use a bit more of, especially when dealing with politicians who seem to think “out of touch” is a desirable character trait.
So tonight, when you look up at that oversized, overachieving moon, remember: it’s been witnessing human nonsense for millennia, and it’s still showing up to work every night. If that’s not inspirational, I don’t know what is.
The Bottom Line
Whether you believe in astrology or think it’s all cosmic codswallop, one thing’s certain: we could all use a bit of magic right about now. Even if that magic is just the simple act of looking up at the sky and remembering that some things are still beautiful, still reliable, and still free to enjoy.
Well, free for now, anyway. Give it time - they’ll probably find a way to tax moonlight next.
Stay delirious and doolally … I know I am
