Taking a look at what other astrologers have to say about this full Moon:

Jeff Jawer at stariq.com in his full Moon report:

The narrow path of order and control set by stern Saturn at the New Moon in Virgo is about to be washed away by the Full Moon in boundless Pisces. These oceanic tides are far from gentle as chaotic Uranus joins the Moon to bring waves of dramatic events and feelings crashing on the shore. It is a time to liberate ourselves from rigid patterns and outmoded rules to ride the wild surf of freedom and self-discovery. The human form is changing and you can choose the despair of holding onto the past or the excitement of creating the future.

Neith at realAstrologers.com gives us a thorough and thoughtful delineation of this full Moon:

The Full Moon next Monday promises to be a real zinger at 22°54′ Pisces, with Uranus conjoining it and Pluto in Sagittarius forming a T-square. It's "batten down the hatches" time!

By the time the Moon is full, both Jupiter and Pluto will have returned direct and started to pick up speed. Sagittarius and Scorpio folk in particular may be getting hints that matters held in stasis over the past few months are beginning to see movement, as Jupiter and Pluto rule those signs, respectively. Adding to the movement is the continuing trine from Saturn in Virgo, so look where Jupiter is currently falling in your chart to see what's breaking loose for you. It's entirely possible that things will fall into place smoothly and easily under the influence of the trine. Let's hope so, anyway.

Pluto is another matter. The T-square with the Sun, Moon, and Uranus is more likely to create some dramatic effects, because any time Uranus is on the playing field, he electrifies events. Pluto asks us to let go of what is dead or dying in our lives, and if we have not been paying attention up to this point, we will have far less choice in the matter now. For some reason, the thought popping into my mind about this pattern has to do with accepting loss. In doing so, we ultimately gain, but there will be a price (mostly because human beings tend to undervalue freely given gifts). If we allow ourselves to let go gracefully in an open-handed manner and forgive ourselves for holding on so tightly in the first place, we will navigate through this fine.

The Moon-Uranus conjunction in Pisces is closely semi-sextile Neptune in Aquarius, emphasizing the mutual reception between Uranus and Neptune. The Moon provides access to our emotions and unconscious motivations, and at this time we may be better able to tap into the archetypes represented by Uranus and Neptune. Service to others with compassion and appreciation for what makes each of us unique is a good starting point. Taking time to consider how we may be of service is never a waste of time.

On a more mundane level, we have a nice tight stellium in Libra of Venus, Mercury, and Mars. It sure doesn't hurt to have sympathetic Neptune, the higher octave expression of Venus, trine to this stellium. This is the perfect time to find the right words to heal the atmosphere of divisiveness possibly brought about by Mars in Libra's tendency to use words like weapons and take the other side of a disagreement just because it can. Mars is not comfortable in Libra, the sign of his detriment. But don't worry, because on October 4, he will enter Scorpio, the sign he co-rules with Pluto. ...

We are standing on the threshold of a period of profound change brought about by Saturn opposing Uranus, and this Full Moon on the Virgo-Pisces axis gives us an opportunity to glimpse how this opposition may affect us personally. It is also a great time to remind ourselves that practicing kindness and behaving in a thoughtful manner to all we encounter is no bad thing, because Uranus is the biggest pot-stirrer there is!

My take..
   »on the full Moon

For the most part Neith has covered the elements of this full Moon thoroughly.

I do see an opposition between Juno in Sagittarius and Pallas Athena in Gemini. Both form a T-square with Saturn in Virgo. It looks like deciding what's worth fighting (see reference below) for vs. maintaining an established, perhaps static, relationship. The square from Saturn could slow things down, maybe even cause it to seem like all is done and over. But the old saying goes: "The mills (think mill stones) of the gods grind exceedingly slow, but they grind exceedingly fine." Most of the fighting here is probably verbal.

For an interesting approach to interpreting Pallas Athena, take a look at Sherpa's entry at astronuts.tribe.net, titled "What is worth fighting for?"

   »on the full Moon as it relates to the U.S. natal chart

The full Moon is almost exactly opposite natal Neptune and conjunct transiting Uranus, adding an emotional tone to the interplay between Uranus and Neptune discussed in my last post: "changes in social and political structures due to new ideals and dreams of the future" vs. "movements which diminish the power or authority of the nation's leadership or police systems."

The "nice tight stellium in Libra of Venus, Mercury, and Mars" described by Neith conjuncts a natal group of Saturn and Juno also in Libra. The Saturn-Juno conjunct suggests establishing or staying in a relationship due to the "half a loaf is better than none" rationale. The presence of the transiting planets here may activate some soul-searching, some discussion, may not. Is half a loaf better than none?
