Pisces New Moon: Dream Dream Dream

 

 

Today's New Moon in Pisces pulls us in two directions, with Neptune calling us into to the deep and Saturn urging us to stay focused and grounded.  The feelings of beauty, redemption and  grace recently activated by Venus and Neptune will be re-activated by both Sun and Moon over the next few weeks.   Yet Saturn in the background continues making things a bit heavy and ponderous. Equated with karma, time, endings, lessons, Saturn has the task of helping us incarnate into this 3-d world, and ensuring we find our footing here. It can be a harsh taskmaster, helping us build strength and fortitude by bringing us the blockages and obstacles that are a natural part of life on planet earth.

 

Pisces just wants to float away...  as the sun snuggles up with the Moon today in this most ethereal of signs, it will soften those hard edges and sweeten our dreams.  This sacred union of yin and yang, masculine and feminine calls to us to connect within, and find our innate creativity as we feel and ponder life’s deeper meaning.  And although the Moon  will have already separated and moved past the Sun by the time you read this...this energy will ripple out into the coming month. You can watch as the thin crescent Moon  appears in the sky over the next few days, where it will be joining Neptune (ruler of Pisces) and  then Venus in Aries. Ah sweet surrender. The sweetness of this Sun /Moon union will carry us forward on its waves of bliss and love.  

Then - the  Moon will  arrive in Aries - whose fiery energy will wake us up a bit, especially when the Moon joins Jupiter in a few days. And all of that leads us to March and a very interesting month. This  Sun/Moon joining  ~ called the 'conjunctio'  or 'sacred marriage' ~ is where we plant our seeds of intention for the coming month. What do you want to create in your life? What do you dream of?  Pisces best dream is a dream of peace. How about you?

 Have you ever heard of  'eudaemonism' ? "A theory that the highest ethical goal is happiness and personal well-being."  

 

 Sounds like a perfect Piscean word to me :) And when true inner peace and contentment fill your cup, it will automatically overflow onto  others.  As Pisces  calls deeply to our longing to merge with source, to go home ~  it brings out a part of us that can get tired of the trials and tribulations of life on planet earth. All I want to do is dream dream dream...

In the background, the acceleration has begun: January was slow, Feb began retracing steps and picking up steam, and in March, big changes will occur. All planets are direct and in March several (6) are going to change signs. Uranus - the awakener has been prominent every weekend since the New Moon in January, plus here are also majour solar flares occurring that can activate our nervous systems. Both of these are high frequency - many people I have spoken to are having trouble sleeping. Be open to downloads and energy upgrades. We are being tweaked!

 

If you're highly sensitive, take good care of yourself ~ lots of walks in nature and long soaks in the tub (or paddle in the ocean if you are so lucky).  Saturn's influence, though challenging,  can help to us stay grounded and support us as we begin to move forward step by step.  Use this time to fill your cup as you plan, vision, dream.

 

As this  New Moon  in Pisces activates our creativity,  compassion and empathy, we may feel extra sensitive to the suffering int the world (including our own) and there may be a bit of melancholy floating around.   I'm feeling such a strong urge to retreat and have down time. The fact that is has just snowed and the temperature where I live has dropped below zero again (- 35 Celsius by Friday eek!) is greatly contributing to that mood. Even my computer is about to crash.

 

 There is magic in the air; tap into your inner muse while creativity is high. Or  go sit in stillness and mediate. Just be aware that Pisces is the great avoider...  we can ride the waves of this drifty, dreamy Pisces energy and stay awake at the same time- by creating or enjoying art, music,  poetry. Our nervous system will be simultaneously calmed and   tingling. ~  let the muse wander as you tap  into the higher mind (Mercury linking to Uranus) Everything is vibration.  What a  feeling!  What a rush! 

And as you pause to enjoy this cornucopia of the ethereal, and breathe in all the colours, say a prayer of gratitude for all the gifts we have been given. The first gift is our breath,  in - out - in - out. To and fro goes the rhythm of life!   It will get real soon enough (when Saturn moves into Pisces) For now,  soak into your essence, raise your vibration and drink a toast to life.
