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.
