Pisces New Moon

This new moon is relatively mild as it makes no significant aspects to the outer planets, unlike the past few Lunations however it is potentiated by 5 planets joined in Pisces underscoring it's "softness" but increasing the possibility to mislead or be mislead by illusion or fantasy. Mars is still nearby and Sextiles Pluto giving potential for claiming available power for spiritual pursuits or working behind the scenes. Mars is katabolic energy which breaks down as does Pluto, the higher octave of mars. Pluto in Capricorn is especially related to breaking down structures too rigid or unbending to the winds of fate. Together there is an opportunity to cleans and purify through surrender and perceive the unity behind the multiplicity of polarity consciousness. seeing the forest for the trees is easier now and staying grounded is more important as it is more easy to float away towards castles built in the air.


Neptune, ruler of Pisces is still in Aquarius and this new moon may herald insights into Neptune's passage into his oceanic home in April. Insights had now, through dream or revelation, may be a preview of what is to come later in the year.

This, and Neptune's transit of Pisces, will be a time where people will turn away from materiality and surrender to a higher form of being, which may be a form of religious devotion, mystical exploration or involvement with compassionate service of those who suffer. This will mark a turning point where technology and scientific discovery, along with enviromental/economic collapse pushes us to examine the big questions in life.

The stellium (collection of planets in the same sign) in Pisces make this a very watery lunation. Emotions and feelings may well trump intellect. With Saturn square venus aspecting the lunation by quincunx, there could be tensions between ideals and expectations that are challenging to incorperate with our deep feelings at the time and ideals (Pisces) may not mesh with expectations and duties (Venus, Saturn).
