🌕♓ Full Moon in Pisces ✨

The Full Moon in Pisces invites us to slow down, tune into our intuition and trust where life is leading us.

Pisces is the dreamer of the zodiac, reminding us that not everything needs to be figured out with logic. Sometimes, the answers come when we pause, reflect and listen to our inner voice.

This Full Moon encourages you to:

💙 Release what no longer serves you
🌊 Go with the flow instead of resisting change
✨ Trust your intuition
💜 Show compassion to yourself and others
🌙 Dream big and believe in new possibilities

With Mercury now moving direct, communication begins to flow more easily and plans can start moving forward again.

Meanwhile, Jupiter in Leo reminds you not to hide your gifts. Believe in yourself, embrace your creativity and let your light shine.

If Saturn retrograde has encouraged you to slow down and reflect, this Full Moon offers the opportunity to let go of old fears and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

🌕 Tonight is a wonderful time to:

🕯️ Journal your thoughts
🧘 Take a few quiet moments to reflect
💫 Release anything that's weighing you down
🌟 Set intentions for the weeks ahead

Trust the timing. Trust yourself. The next chapter is already unfolding.

What are you ready to release under this Full Moon in Pisces? 🌕♓

🤗 Jack Russells Bonnie and Jess are on the hunt for a house where they can toddle about and lead a nice calm life together.

They are 12-years-young and, while Bonnie is blind, this doesn’t affect her wonderful and affectionate personality, which is shared by Jess.

They just want a comfy retirement home where they are the centre of attention so no other pets and older children.

They are available to see in our viewing kennels or do pop up and chat to our dog staff about this adorable pair.
