New Moon in Pisces

 

The New Moon on the 17th of March at 26 degrees Pisces invites us to reconnect our relationship with our subconscious and understand our deepest truth of who we are. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, where we dissolve back into the ocean of consciousness and return to source. The Pisces season washes clean the closing astrological year, a time for rest, healing, reflection, and spiritual replenishment. Pisces is mutable water, and this New Moon supports soul-level shifts that help us to realign with the flow of life. When we let go of resistance and judgment we bring forth our compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance.

We access the power of this New Moon by taking a time-out from habitual busyness and relaxing into a state of simply being. The New Moon conjoins Chiron, the Wounded Healer who guides us through our deepest pain to access our greatest gifts.  Chiron will move into Aries on April 17. This Chiron-infused New Moon is an opportunity to reflect on our healing journey over the past seven years and anchor the shifts we’ve made. Chiron will retrograde back into Pisces on September 25, and will be in Aries again from February 2019 until 2027. We may connect more to our spiritual selves, our intuition, our subconscious minds, and to the subtle energies all around us. We can focus on our inner mystics, and work to heal ourselves and others.  Connecting to our spiritual selves can also be beneficial for helping us to heal, and we may need to address past issues or something that has been hidden from us that becomes revealed.

 Mars at the last degree of Sagittarius squares the New Moon and Chiron, potentially stirring up restlessness and impatience. We might be tempted into conflict that arises from a sense of righteousness or judgment. The New Moon points to a path of healing by moving Jupiter, traditional ruler of both Sagittarius and Pisces, is now retrograde in Scorpio, urging us to look within ourselves to get to the root of any external conflict.

Jupiter forms a harmonious trine to the Sun, Moon, and Chiron, amplifying the imaginative powers of the New Moon and inviting us to dream big and visualize our dreams coming true. We may feel like we're at the end of some cycle, and can clean up, clear out, let go, and get ready for the new
