PISCES NEW MOON - 10 March 2024
This is a
magical Moon that could help us to plant some beautiful seeds that will
hopefully blossom and bloom into magnificent flowers! It is the very last New
Moon of the astrological year – a time for tying up loose ends, letting go of
whatever no longer serves us and surrendering to the flow of life. Pisces
reminds us that ultimately, we are not in control, rather we are in the hands
of forces much larger than us. Pisces season does bring the potential for
feeling somewhat overwhelmed, and for feeling a bit like a leaf being tossed
around in the wind, which is all the more reason to simply let go, accept and
allow ourselves to be guided to wherever we need to be. However, letting go of
the need for control can be quite scary and disconcerting!
Pisces is
the part of us that can dream ourselves into another reality, so this Moon
invites us to turn inward and contemplate what we would ideally like to
manifest into our lives and then just let it go, surrendering our wishes to
divine providence. Pisces helps us to imagine our ideal scenario and then we
can allow Spirit to take care of the rest, if it is right for us, that is. It
is important to be mindful of what we wish for, because our wishes and
intentions can be taken quite literally! Pisces remind us to keep an eye out
for the subtle cues, signs and omens that help lead us along the path of life,
and to pay attention to our dreams. We are all powerful manifestors, it is just
a question of tuning in and trusting.
Pisces is a
gentle, sensitive, impressionable, compassionate and empathetic sign that has
high ideals and can sometimes struggle with the harsh realities of life. With
the Sun, Moon, Saturn and Neptune all in Pisces right now and Venus not far
behind, we could feel more fragile, emotional, tender and tired than usual and
could also find life a bit more overwhelming than at other times. We are in the
dark of the last Moon of the astrological year, so we are invited to release
and surrender anything that no longer has a place in our lives so that we can
be reborn and renewed when the Sun moves into Aries on the Vernal Equinox at
3.06am on 20 March in the UK. What needs to pass away right now – what beliefs,
patterns, situations or habits? It is time to simply let go and allow the river
of life to guide us to the next phase.
Uranus is
forming a helpful, supportive sextile to the Sun and Moon, which could help us
to make whatever changes feel necessary and right for us at the moment. Uranus
helps bring clarity and insight so that we can see more clearly what needs to
change and why. It can also bring a curveball that helps to put us back on the
right path and bring a greater sense of awareness. It is an exciting,
enlivening energy that can surprise us and help us to see ourselves and our
situation from a higher perspective. Uranus invites us to discover our true,
authentic self and can help us to recognise anything that might be shrouding
it, weighing us down or blocking us from growth.
Uranus is
the ruler of Aquarius, the sign that powerful, transforming Pluto has just
moved into, bringing a big shift for all of us as we shed the layers of the
past that have been weighing us down. Pluto’s energy can bring about a dark
night of the soul, stripping away self-deceit and anything that might be
preventing us from evolving on a deep soul level. This is especially so for
anyone with personal planets or angles around 1° of a sign, especially the
fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
With Pluto,
Venus and Mars all in Aquarius right now, we are invited to find our tribe,
connect with like-minded people, and to discover a greater sense of community.
These are exciting times, as we are being prompted to rediscover our true,
initial spark and remember who we really are, outside of who we thought we
“should” be. Change can be unsettling, however, and transformation can be
painful, as Pluto can make us feel as if we are being compelled by powerful
forces from deep within. This is the planet of death and rebirth, after all,
and many of us have experienced a big shift of energy as it has moved from
Capricorn into progressive, humanitarian, community-minded Aquarius, a sign
that demands authenticity and freedom.
The only
jarring energy involved in this Moon is a challenging, dynamic square between
Uranus and Mars, exact a few hours before the New Moon. It is interesting that
Mars is also in Aquarius, Uranus’s sign, which doubles the potential for
rebellious acts, acting out of character and challenging the rules and
authority. However, we may be challenging our own rules! Uranus is a very
“sudden” energy, so bursts of anger and irritation are possible, as are
unexpected disruptions and aggressive acts that are quite shocking in nature.
However, we can use this energy to step out of our comfort zone and breathe
fresh air into our lives, as it could give us the courage and motivation to do
things differently and act in a way that is true to ourselves. Those of us with
personal planets or angles around 19° of a sign, especially the fixed signs,
will feel the energy of this square most acutely.
The Sabian
symbol for this Moon is beautiful, at 21° Pisces: “Under the watchful and kind
eye of a Chinese servant, a girl fondles a little white lamb” which Dane Rudyar
describes as “Growth in consciousness in its earlier tactile awareness of the
wonders of unsophisticated living. According to the occult tradition, the
original Chinese race was an extension of the humanity (or “Root Race”)
preceding ours – thus the stress upon the biological factors of family and
ancestors, and also on the dualism of Yang and Yin interplay. The “Chinese
Servant” represents the past, as a servant of the new evolution. (The “white
lamb” suggests the sign of all beginnings, Aries.) This new evolution is just
about to begin during the late Pisces phase of the year cycle. It is as yet an
ideal, a white loveliness. The girl discovers the new feeling of the touch of
wool and of animal warmth. This symbol brings together past and future, an
overlapping of levels. The Chinese kindly watching the white girl fondling the
white lamb. There is charm and ingenuousness in the scene – a vision of WHITE
HOPE, a hope for a future that can only be felt, almost naively.”
This Moon
does seem to offer hope. We are approaching some powerful Eclipses which
include the Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Taurus on 21 April, which is starting
to build now. This Moon invites us to turn inward, tune in and listen. There is
magic possible here, and if we listen to our dreams, pay attention to the
signs, omens and synchronicities, we will be shown the way, even if it seems
unclear. Help is at hand if we are open to it and paying attention. It is
important to recognise where there is flow and to choose the path of least
resistance. This is a time of rest, reflection, release and renewal as we
prepare to spring into action with Aries season and its two Eclipses.
Ultimately, we are not in control, so we may as well just relax, let go and
surrender to the flow of the river. It will take us where we need to go.
Much Love
