What brought this on? The full moon is now in Pisces.

Technically, yes. And for gardeners (et al) this observation will be most useful. The moon as a satellite, however, and her PARENT orb, the Earth ... are, together, in Virgo (3 days after full moon, waning toward 3rd quarter), just as our entire Solar System is, collectively & as a unit, in Aquarius.
For meditatative purposes, this consideration becomes important, along with the current phase of the moon. For several days prior to the actual full moon, and for several days after, the placement of our satellite is opposite the globe from the sun. This allows for an unimpeded Solar energy to reach our planet, bypassing the obstructing and negative influences of the moon.
Despite this arrangement, or rather, technically because of it, any person working in the ER, in the local police department or in similar such public service branches can testify, as many do, to what kinds of `lunacy' will always occur during the time of the full moon. This is accounted for simply:
There are such tremendous energies (again, solar in origin) playing directly - more directly - upon our astral body (individual and collective, or global) during this time. Those who are untrained to handle such a stimulus, including vast segments of our population, and especially those who have a difficult time of it anyway (emotionally speaking, or psychologically) ... are prone to overstimulation and excess during the time of the full moon.
There is certainly a great deal of glamour, distortion and mystique surrounding this phenomenon, when it comes to Hollywood and the popular imagination (just think of shows like Twilight, vampire and werewolf myths in general, etc.) ... yet the scientific basis is as obvious as going to the beach and observing high and low tide.
The benefit for the Esotericist at the time of the full moon cannot be overestimated. For those trained in individual and especially Group Meditation, the full moon affords several opportunities. In the personal life [of the disciple or aspirant] it becomes much easier to become en rapport with the instructing Master or Teacher and to receive council (concerning the life of Service). Likewise, and for the Group, there are extra-Planetary and even extra-Solar Agencies which can be contacted only at this time, while other Spiritual potencies are also more easy to access.
This makes the full moon an important time for the reception of those energies and that Guidance which Humanity is seeking, as the first responsibility for the disciple is the wise distribution of the energies and the Teachings which he contacts or has access to.
This is why the planting cycles, as according to where the moon falls in a lesser zodiac do not particularly affect the service life of the average disciple at all in the same way as the monthly lunar cycle, wherein the moon finds least influence and the Solar energies greatest ~ every 28 days, as for example on the `blue moon' of Virgo (full moon), Aug. 31.
And more properly we would say, "Earth in Virgo," yet I am not an astrologer so I forget that these things mean something different, or as my friend at work would observe ... where the moon is, in the lesser zodiac, indicates another entire `schedule of activities' in terms of the 12-house system than the solar zodiac.
For most of the folks I know, we are looking at which sign the Earth is in, while also paying attention to which sign the Sun is in ... such as Aquarius, having been in Pisces for 2100 or so years until the year 1900.
Another friend from work is a Hindu, familiar with Vedic astrology to a degree, and I remember him showing me a cycle broken down into each 20 minutes of the hour, thus with 72 segments across a 24-hr period, if I recall correctly. I noted that some of the names of the segments even correspond with the planets, as Shukra (Venus) and Brihaspati (Jupiter).
Of course, I might be getting that slightly wrong; it's been awhile since he showed me these things.
Anyway, thanks for the correction. To be honest, I had never paid much attention to the lunar cycle you're mentioning ... until I was peering through a gardeners' almanac.

At a full moon in Pisces, the Earth would be in Pisces with respect to the sun. The Sun is in Virgo with respect to the earth, using the adjusted tropic astrological system, where the vernal equinox is set at zero degrees Aries, instead of the actual star reading of around ω Pisces.
Actually, that would be in respect to the Earth's progression of the equinoxes.

You might have lost me ...
My point is, in short, that our Solar System (by definition) is a heliocentric one, not geocentric. If you stand on the moon, certainly the corresponding observation will be that revolution occurs around the Earth.
So, the Earth is in the House called Virgo, when considering a 12-House system with the Sun at the Center.
It helps to visualize it all, from whichever point of view you wish to consider. Given that I am neither a particularly visual person ... nor well-versed in astrology, I may be missing something here. Am I?
It takes about 360 degrees around the circle, each of twelves signs or houses being split into 30 degrees, for the EARTH to orbit the Sun once. Over time, the progression has slowed to require a little more than one day per degree. Still, there are 30 degrees in this circle, per sign or house, regardless as to the adjustment ...
Aries is marked by the date March 21st ... and since the moon will not *always* be full on this exact date, we simply celebrate the Vernal Equinox then, with our Earth globe farthest away from the Sun in its 360-degree, 365-day annual progression. About two weeks prior, the true NEW YEAR could be considered to begin, as this is the tail end of Pisces, the final sign of the old year, and the New Moon of Aries, the first sign of the NEW Year.
I will not get into this here, as I have posted many times (at Interfaith) on this matter elsewhere. DECEMBER is the TENTH-month ... November, the 9th-month (octo for 8th, sept for 7th), etc.
The moon is now "in Virgo," yet more properly stated, the MOON+EARTH are *together* passing through the 30 degrees which constitute that house, that sign. It is much more relevant, for most of us and for most purposes (the ongoing evolution of the personality as well as the Soul) ... than whether it is right to prune or transplant, to reap or to sew. [Although I will grant you, there are always correspondences; As above, so Below!]
I do not mean that everyone needs to know esoteric meditation, or much about astrology, although if the Christians knew their Zodiac as well as they did how to Scripture-pick and harp upon ONE face or presentation of the UNIVERSAL Savior [`Christ' in *every* house, or sign] ... we'd likely ALL be handling the Aquarian Call a good deal better, with less quibbling, less confusion over Grand Design.
Biblical history, as we currently study it, has roots farther back than the age of Taurus, yet this is where we usually pick up the tune, then through Aries, and of course PISCES in full chorus ...
