New Moon 'Scope
Pisces New Moon Blessing: Be Still Even the bravest client will shiver if an astrologer says "changes" are on the way. This is especially true with Uranus transits. Uranus conjoins this Pisces New Moon. Perhaps that’s why "the squirrel is hiding from hunters" in this month’s Sabian Symbol. Change is natural in the flow of life. And the expectation of change is appropriate now, just a cycle away from Spring. In Spring your hunting self will want to act on your desires—maybe try the thrill of hang-gliding, or make that push for a higher paying job, or finally end a toxic relationship. Whatever you’re dreaming of doing, remember there’s a proper order to things. The necessity this month is to calm your inner squirrel. You can do this by raising your faith. Realize that subtle but powerful help is just a psychic phone call way. Pisces is a mystical, but also porous and vulnerable sign. In Pisces, unexpected events may overwhelm us. Negative people can confuse us. Anxiety can drain precious energy and produce nothing useful in return. Haste now might bring carelessness or wasted effort. Addictions can grow in power. You can let yourself be drawn into all this psychic negativity, but why? With grace, beauty, and a quiet joy, Pisces teaches there’s great strength in serenity. When you stay calm, you stay in control. When you’re calm, you’re more creative. When you’re calm, you realize the challenges ahead are probably much less dire than the imaginative ones you fear. When you’re calm, you understand the best way to predict the future is to invent it! What should you grow this cycle? The Tibetan calendar says this is a "100,000 multiplying month" – which means the good you practice this cycle will be worth extra points on the karmic ledger. But exactly what should your good practice be? Astrology typically answers "what" questions by looking at houses. Look to the house of your birth chart where the New Moon falls: this is where you usually "do Pisces." Every year at this time, you engage subtly or wholeheartedly in the Mystic’s path. Quiet, focused attunement to matters in this house will help to spiritualize your approach for the rest of the year. This house is where you’re routinely dissolved of your sense of self and been asked to consider the whole. During this New Moon cycle, you have a unique opportunity here… but you must tune in. If you have a meditation practice that’s faltering, then this is the month to dust it off (without guilt) and tune into the higher planes. If Pisces is in your Seventh House of partners, as it is in mine, this is the month to see your "others" with unusually compassionate eyes! If you’d like to explore this is greater depth, you may enjoy my seasonal/new moon workshop, Twelve Moons. ©

"At this New Moon, as Sun and Moon clasp hands and plunge into the sign of the Fishes, we too are invited to descend from the clear air of the Aquarian heights and swim back toward the source of all that we are and all that we know. Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, carried the year’s distilled experience and wisdom in his jar; Pisces will pour out the contents for the healing and restoration of the world....." (New Moon Meditations) " Pisces and the last month of winter are upon us. Ice packs begin their melting down the long flow into the sea. The Sun is slowly getting higher in the sky. Ready gardeners emerge from hibernation to grab the few hours of extra warmth each day, working to cleanse away debris and rotting leaves, eager to find out what the gods of dark and cold have allowed to survive through the long winter. Imbolc, the Celtic celebration that honors the growing power of light, has come and gone, as a check point to ask: "What are we manifesting? Are we on the best path to fulfillment of this new year?" ..." Season Teachings
