New Moon in Pisces and What It Means for You


The Pisces New Moon is on March 1st, at 3:00 am EDT, or 8:00 am GMT.
Pisces' ruler Neptune is also making waves, and is close enough in orb to amplify the dreamlike energies of the New Moon.
Keep it simple, with simple rituals. If you swim against the tide, you'll only exhaust yourself.  Being with the Muse, pottering, lollygagging and daydreaming is favored.
Miracle Grow
Let's look at Pisces and Neptune with fresh eyes, and the mood it creates in this moment in time.  Pisces is the very last sign of the Zodiac.  That makes Pisces season the Dark Moon of the solar cycle.  It's the rhythm of being suspended between two states of being.
Liminality is a word for the threshold, where the magic -- a change of form -- happens.  
Looking at the Pisces New Moon chart, there's the planet of leaps of faith, Jupiter, in an exact trine (harmony).  Jupiter is also in a water sign, Cancer, at 10 degrees.  Jupiter is known as the light-bringer, so spend time with what's full of Light for you.  
Since Jupiter is in Cancer, the sign that takes us home, to what feels emotionally nourishing, that's a way to spot he inspired path.  Your reservoir of feelings, memories and vivid impressions is a well to draw from.  What moves you? 
Mars in Play (Rx)
Mercury turns direct the day before (Feb 28th);  meanwhile, Mars begins its retrograde (March 1st to May 20th).  Mercury is in Aquarius, and will cross direct shadow degrees to March 21st, at 3 Pisces.  Be curious about what's in the air, but hold off on drawing final conclusions.
Have you heard about the Big One -- the cardinal grand cross on/around April 23rd?  Now that Mars is roving backwards, the players are coming into their cardinal corners.  The scene involves Uranus (Aries), Jupiter (Cancer), Mars (Libra) and Pluto (Capricorn).
I was considering this event, and the cardinal word initiating came to mind.  And I thought of the associated word -- Initiation.  These energies are already popping here and there, Mars will simply take it up a notch, with an urgent charge.
For example, Jupiter is square (provoking angle) to Uranus (Aries) -- exact on Feb 25th).  There can be dramatic events, that arouse extremely intense big feelings.  A tip is to seek ways to courageously move into new creative ground.  And you go far when you're acting on what moves you (Jupiter Cancer) and is an organic unfoldment from who you are deep down. 
Pisces-Neptune During the Initiation
There are many thresholds, for whole countries and for those going through epic personal changes.  This Pisces New Moon is a rest stop for the soul.  It's a space in-between, to see beyond the crises of the moment.
It's a chance to draw from the magic of the void, something that's needed to push through -- maybe it's not even something you can put into words. 
Pisces-Neptune takes us beyond the grind, to that knowing that there's more.  The atmosphere is comforting, because it's a scene where baggage is laid down, ties and cords cut, and the garb of old roles discarded. 
If you're in the middle of a big initiation, as many are, Pisces-Neptune encourages letting go, and experiencing the eternal self in any struggle. 
Pisces reminds you that :
  • We’re all connected in some mysterious way.
  • You have allies dropping hints to guide you.
  • The imagination is a place that can feel as real as “reality.
  • Your dreams are meaningful, and the dream dimension is a place.
  • Things are not always as they seem.
  • There is a lot of illusion and delusion in the world.
  • We all wear masks, but it’s not who we really are.
  • Life is fluid, and can be changed.
  • You don’t need to fear dying, since your spirit goes on to the next adventure.
The Luminaries in Pisces The Sun-Moon are at 11 degrees (rounded up) Pisces.  Being familiar with your inner terrain aids you when everything externally is so chaotic. Everything is changing, and it’s not going back to the way it was. We’re in totally unfamiliar ground. It’s easy to feel lost, to be despairing or hopeless, if you’re focusing on what’s dying or breaking down.
Initiations
  • A rip in the matrix showing that “reality” is up for grabs.
  • People losing it in a public way.
  • Social programming starts to break down, bringing freedom and uncertainty.
  • Messages of compassion that wake people up.
  • More get flashes of genius.
  • Exciting technological breakthroughs for humanity.
Some ideas:
  • Read inspiring poems or sayings of wise spiritual leaders.
  • Learn to read Tarot cards or divine the moment in another way.
  • Ask for help when you need it, and then watch for signs.
  • Be specific in your prayers, about healing or releasing unconscious patterns.
  • Trust that the light will triumph over darkness.
  • Commit to shining your light, instead of “cursing the darkness.”
  • Ask for protection when you feel overrun with bad vibes.
  • Establish a ritual (like pulling a medicine card every day.)
  • Give yourself some quiet time.

Being a Sun-sign Pisces, I've been feeling these Neptunian vibes coming for awhile. The watery, psychic, metaphysical realm is where I live all the time so it'll be nice to have others becoming more understanding about my usual sphere of influence...

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer

Venus in Aquarius: What to Expect

What's Up:   Take note, Venus is in Aquarius from March 5th to April 5th in 2014.  The fresh air whirls around in love and friendship, with Venus in this air sign.  This follows a long, 'heavy' time with Venus in Capricorn (early Nov 2013 to March 5th).  The 2014 March forecast features Venusian behavior, with aspects that free relationships from deeply ingrained patterns.  A key word is freedom, to update our social lives, to align with who we've become and are becoming.  Social Buzz Venus has been under the influence of Saturn, the planet of responsibility while in Capricorn.  Now the love planet has some  breathing room  in this air sign--  what's favored is meeting others in a friendly, detached way. The Venus Aquarius  natives  are restless, and ready to break with convention.  The same tired way of engaging, stilted etiquette and the habits of being  politically correct  are blown apart.  Aquarius is the sign of scrambling the same ole, w

The Sun Signs and Friendship

Friendship is an essential part of our lives and sometimes friends matter more than our immediate family and its members. It is said that even the Devil has his own friends. In astrology the 11th house is said to rule friends and their relationships. Astrology gives much importance to relationships like spouses, partners or lovers but friendship related issues are usually shooed off. But in this age where divorce rates are going over the roof friendship is what makes people to remain glued together come what may. Apart from the 11th house, the 4th, 5th and the 7th houses also have their say in friendship. Some astrologers say that the 11th house is a social house. The 3rd-house friendships are with neighbors, the 4th house rules friends with whom we live and are part of the our family, 5th-house friendships are with people we go out and have fun with, 7th-house friends are particularly close and in a partnership, and 9th-house friendships are those we form in educational situatio
