Pisces New Moon
The Moon enters Pisces tonight at 11:58pm EST and joins with the Sun overnight for the New Moon at 2:06am Monday. A new cycle begins at the start of another Lunar rebirth, a time for new beginnings. Although the Moon can't actually be seen for a day or so, it is the planting of seeds that can now happen. Make sure you prepare the soil for new growth by releasing or letting go of the old first! Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac after all and therefore reminds us of endings for new beginnings!
The last lunar cycle is finished and the current one begins with it's focus on all things Piscean, like caring, escapism and nostalgia. Feeling impressionable or vulnerable, sensitive and/or low is common and something to watch out for in yourself or others because there can be a tendency to indulge in alcohol or drugs to escape reality. The antidote for this is being of service, or expressing your feelings in a safe environment of loving and supportive people.
The chart for this New Moon shows both the Sun and Moon separating from a conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius, calling for self-discipline and the need to build your self esteem. Saturn tends to either tell you that your feelings don't matter or they're not important enough, when all you feel like doing is crawling back under the covers and hiding. Allow yourself to feel whatever sadness, grief, or sense of loss that you're experiencing and if necessary, to share it with a close friend or family member. Keep in mind that it might be better to consult with an emotionally unattached third party, such a counselor, who can listen without judgement or a personal agenda.
In the more upbeat, good news area of Piscean beginnings, this could be your time for some R & R to reflect on the creative urges you've been having. Start writing those song lyrics, or that book of poetry... get out the paintbrushes or the camera and focus your mind's eye on all the beauty around you. Nature is a wonderful companion for lifting spirits, especially if you share your walks by the water, or under the stars with a close friend or loved one.
