Today's New Moon in Pisces, culminating at 10:31am EST, brings our awareness to our dreams, subconscious feelings and sensitivity. It is important that we take time to explore these more subtle aspects of ourselves and the world around us during this lunar cycle, in order to become cognizant of what it is that our higher selves are helping us to realize.
The Messenger of the Gods, Mercury, is standing very close to the Sun and Moon, giving us an opportunity for this knowledge to come into the conscious realm and assist us as individuals and for humanity. Yes, Mercury is still retrograde... and what better time to reflect on recent events, behaviors or thoughts that no longer serve us. With these three archetypes in Neptune's realm of the unseen, we are asked to have faith, and challenged not to dive into fantasies based on unreachable or unobtainable expectations. I've said it before (quoting an old advertisement)... "is it real, or is it memorex?"
The enthusiasm of this New Moon chart can be carried through the month ahead if we take our new-found enthusiasm and self-assurance and apply it to actual steps forward. Being assertive is necessary now in order to use the ingenuity of the ideas we've been presented with. We just need to realize that we're in a preparation mode that requires deep inner connection and release of old patterns, thought-forms and habits before jumping blindly into the fray! Otherwise, we have the possibility of sabotaging ourselves and our goals in the future.
Moderation is key to succeeding with our desires at this point. While we don't have to allow authority figures to tell us what to do every step of the way, becoming our own authority involves a mindful approach to others, especially those who are our allies and partners. Compromise in working within organizations and large groups is crucial now. The empathy we want others to have for us, has to reciprocated!
What can you do in the weeks ahead to be in touch with your inner muse? Start with turning off the TV or radio and listening to the sounds around you. Walk by the ocean and hear the waves lapping on the shore, or take a hike through the woods and fields and hear the birds chirping in the trees. In other words, you can quiet your mind and all the chatter so that your intuition and/or subconscious can express itself and you'll actually be cognizant of the messages.
While you are enjoying this lunar cycle of reflection and restoration, remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Leo Full Moon
The Moon has been in sunny Leo since Friday night and will catch up to the Sun at 22 degrees of Leo early Sunday morning, making this an exceptional weekend of fun, love and creative self-expression. After the week we've had, some enjoyment is well deserved!
The full Moon likes to go big, and in Fixed Leo the dramatic factor is enhanced. Leo is ruled by the most powerful planet in our Solar system - the Sun, which gives this Fire sign it's dignity, determination and strength. The drive for recognition or admiration can be quite noticeable and some egos may be more emboldened than others. For everyone to have a good time, egos must be checked at the door!
Where do you have this degree of Leo in your chart? That's where you can shine and perhaps get the recognition for your efforts that haven't really been acknowledged. However, don't be doing something just to be noticed, do it because it feels good to express yourself in a way that includes others.
The Moon is contacting her own node points which makes this feel somewhat fated, especially around home and family. If you recognize the scenario as it's playing out, remember that a lesson learned doesn't have to be repeated. Maybe this is a turning point in a close relationship that allows the love to come through. Venus and Chiron, known as the wounded healer, come together in Aries, making this an excellent time to mend fences. Painful experiences from the past don't need to define you. If your efforts aren't reciprocated, perhaps it's time to move on.
Leo Moon interacts with active Mars in Aries, another Fire sign, bringing self-confidence to higher levels and helping one to step up to the challenge they're facing. It's a great time to enjoying planning for the future, looking at higher education or making travel plans for that exciting trip you've always wanted to take.
Before you take off for distant shores, whether metaphorically or in reality, remember, while keeping your head in the stars, to keep your feet firmly on the ground!
