New Moon in Pisces: Dip Into Dreamtime

 

New Moon at 4°Pisces at 10:23 am EST February 23, 2020

begin again as a soulful seed who knows how to grow, as one who trusts and takes pleasure in the process

In a sky strong with Capricornian authority and practical acuity, this new moon in Pisces offers some delicious gentleness and mysticism to complement that shrewd earthy power. The lunar cycle begins afresh in the middle of Mercury’s retrograde through Pisces and just after an invigorating trine between Mars in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. There is an aliveness and reflective pause to this moment making it ideal for tuning in to some new melody life’s inviting us to learn, relearn or help co-create.

Pisces, like Sagittarius, is ruled in traditional astrology by Jupiter, the great expander. While Sagittarius’ fiery spirit of adventure expands ever outwards lighting the way to great truths and ideals, Pisces’ yin water expands ever inwards. Pisces’ capacity for receiving insights from the beyond is unparalleled by other signs in the zodiac. Akin to the vastness of the ocean, the essence of Pisces can and does hold the all-that-is, feeling all the love and all the suffering present in the collective unconscious.

For this reason, Pisces dearly needs and tends to offer some marvelous escapes from reality spanning the spectrum from healthy and virtuous to destructive and dangerous. Drugs, sex, rock ‘n’ roll, fanciful stories and arts of all kinds, merging completely with other beings from lovers to cats to otherworldly spirits, baths, meditation, poetry and selfless service to those in need are just a few of the ways Pisces might divert or soften the immensity of what they feel. At a time when there is ample pain at large, these dips into dreamtime increase in value. An ounce of restoration can see us through those long stony mountain paths remaining on the journey through the last degrees of Capricorn that await in 2020.

honor the need for regeneration,

soak in the sweetest of waters

At 4° of Pisces, the new moon connects by sextile (half a trine) to both Mars in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus, partaking of their flowing earth trine. This energizes the lunar influence dramatically, weaving sensual surprises and decisive physical potency into the lunation. There is a truly harmonious symphony being played between earth and water in which our connection to the spirit world becomes tangible and embodied as our material enterprises are lubricated with some good old Pisces fairy dust.
