Full Moon Mystery Meditation in Pisces
# **Full Moon Mystery Meditation in Pisces**
Date of meeting: **Wed, March 4th, 2026 at 7:00 PM EST**
Join us in-person: Toronto Theosophical Society, 792 Glencairn Ave.,
Or, join us via Zoom: [https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6273280590](https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6273280590)
Field of Group Work: **The Mystery of the Holy Trinity**
Keynote: **“ I LEAVE THE FATHER’S HOME, AND TURNING BACK I SAVE”**
The theme for this field of activity represents the third aspect of divinity - bringing heaven to earth, embodying the mystery of incarnation and the salvation for all forms.
## **Major Themes of Pisces**
### **World Savior and Redemption**
Pisces embodies the Christ consciousness that descends into matter to redeem and save all forms, completing the zodiacal journey with sacrificial service
### **Death of the Separated Self**
The culmination of the spiritual path where the personality dies and the soul is released from captivity, ending the illusion of separation
### **Compassion and Sacrifice**
Profound sensitivity and self-sacrifice characterize Pisces, as the initiate willingly enters the depths of human suffering to serve and uplift humanity
## **Planetary Rulers**
**Exoteric Ruler (Personality): Jupiter -** The benevolent expander, bringing opportunity, growth, and the principle of fusion that unifies the pairs of opposites
**Esoteric Ruler (Soul): Pluto -** The death-dealer and initiator, transforming consciousness and revealing the power of the soul
**Hierarchical Ruler (Spiritual): Pluto -** Governing from the highest level, Pluto brings death to desire and the birth of spiritual will
***Note:* Neptune** focuses Pisces energy for mass humanity, conferring exquisite sensitivity, profound compassion, and complete merging in spiritual identification.
### **Positive Qualities**
* **Profound Sensitivity:** Deep sensitivity and compassion for all life and suffering.
* **Intuitive Understanding:** Psychic receptivity and intuitive perception beyond the rational mind.
* **Self-Sacrifice and Service:** The capacity to sacrifice personal desires for the service of humanity.
* **Mystical Vision:** Spiritual aspiration and the ability to perceive higher realities.
* **Mediating Power:** The power to mediate between heaven and earth, bridging spirit and matter.
### **Negative Qualities**
* **Excessive Emotionalism:** Overwhelming emotions and psychic confusion that cloud judgment and clarity.
* **Escapism and Delusion:** Tendency toward escapism, delusion, and self-deception to avoid facing reality.
* **Mediumistic Susceptibility:** Vulnerability to lower psychic influences and negative energies without discrimination.
* **Victim Consciousness:** Self-pity and victimhood consciousness that prevents empowerment and action.
* **Personality-Soul Conflict:** Indecision and wavering between the demands of the soul and the personality.
# **The Labour of Hercules \~*The Capture of the Red Cattle at Geryon***
In this final labor, Hercules must journey to the island of Erytheia to capture the red cattle of the three-bodied monster Geryon. This labor symbolizes the **gathering and salvaging of desire-nature and its transformation into** **aspiration**. The three bodies of Geryon represent the integrated personality (physical, emotional, mental), while the red cattle symbolize the lower desires that must be *rounded up and driven toward the light*.
Hercules accomplishes this task by slaying Geryon, demonstrating that **the disciple must overcome the illusion of separation.** Through this labor, Pisces learns that *all must be saved, nothing can be lost, and that service to the whole requires the redemption of matter itself*. It is the completion of the zodiacal journey—the death of the personal self and the birth of the World Savior.

**Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on [our website.](https://www.wildernessunion.com/adventures/hardy-winter-2026)**

We’ll start the day exploring Hardy Lake on a 10.5 km loop trail. This hike introduces you to Muskoka’s distinct scenery, around gorgeous lakes, the iconic granite outcrops of the Canadian Shield and an environment unmistakably shaped by beaver activity.

What to expect:
\- Snow\-dusted\, lakeside trails
\- Distinct Muskoka scenery
\- The iconic Lake Hardy wooden boardwalk
\- Rich biodiversity

**Highlights**

**About Wilderness Union**
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.
Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.
Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!

🦋🏛️ DANFORTH WALK, BUTTERFLY MURAL & GREEK LUNCH🏛️🦋
**DANFORTH WALK, BUTTERFLY MURAL & GREEK LUNCH️**
Street Culture, Public Art & A Proper Greek Feast
There’s something about the Danforth that feels like old-school Toronto in the best possible way — vibrant, layered, proudly local, and full of stories.
Join us for a social walk along one of the city’s most iconic stretches: **Danforth Avenue**. As we stroll west toward downtown, we’ll pass lively patios, long-standing family restaurants, cozy cafés, independent shops, and the everyday rhythm of a neighbourhood that has shaped Toronto’s cultural identity for generations.
This area is famously home to the annual **Taste of the Danforth**, one of the largest street festivals in the city — and historically, it was once home to the largest Greek community outside of Greece. You feel that history in the bakeries, the signage, the music drifting from open doors.
It’s not just a walk.
I
t’s a little slice of Toronto heritage — experienced together.

\*\*\*
The Butterfly Mural Stop
Along the way, we’ll stop at the Butterfly Mural, sponsored by the **David Suzuki Foundation** as part of The Great Canadian Butterflyway Project.
It’s bold, colourful, and rooted in environmental awareness — a reminder that even in the middle of the city, we are connected to something larger. We’ll pause, take photos, chat, and enjoy a little moment of art-meets-nature in urban Toronto.
\*\*\*
️ Greek Lunch at a Danforth Institution
After our walk, we’ll sit down for lunch at the historic **Astoria Shish Kebob House**, one of the most well-known Greek restaurants in the city.
Expect:
Classic souvlaki
Lemon potatoes
Fresh Greek salad
Big, generous comfort food energy
Menu: Click Here!
Nothing bonds people like sharing a table and passing the tzatziki.
\*\*\*
♂️ What to Expect

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.
David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants
