Pisces New Moon

   The Pisces New Moon culminates on Tuesday, March 2, 2022 at 12:35pm EST. This monthly alignment of the Sun and Moon are coming together in the last sign of the zodiac before the Spring Equinox in March. They align at 12°06" Pisces and are in a conjunction with expansive Jupiter at 14°16" Pisces. These three planetary archetypes of "The Hero"/Sun, "The Divine Feminine"/Moon and "The Great Benefic"/Jupiter, are creating a much bigger picture than the reclusive Pisces is used to, unless in a fantasy! This means we can use our ability to creatively visual the future we want to see.

   Pisces represents the mutability of water and has as its' task the distribution of Earth power generated by cardinal Capricorn and concentrated through fixed Aquarius. The compassion and understanding of the Piscean for all creatures and all of humanity is in effect for the next month. Yes, the Sun entered Pisces on February 18th, but it is the joining of the Sun and Moon at the New Moon that seeds these two energies, the inner and the outer, into a cohesive unit for growth and expansion. And Pisces wants to bring a new season of caring to planet Earth.

   The tendency for escapism in times of upheaval and challenge, is an automatic response mechanism that can lead to living in an unrealistic realm of fictional proportion, that may involve drugs, alcohol or fabrication of a fantasy world. On the more constructive side, the flexibility of feeling another's pain and not being absorbed by it, can lead to genuine acts of compassion and caring for those around us and our environment.

   It is the largess of Jupiter's expansive ability to go out into the world and gather information that colors this New Moon with possibility. It is of course this same predilection for growth that can feed addiction and illusionary beliefs. To truly connect with the power of Pisces, one ought to pause and reflect on one's own abilities and boundaries before trying them out on unsuspecting others. An alignment from Jupiter to Neptune, the traditional to the modern ruler, of Pisces allows space for a spiritual path of reconciliation that can foster development of practical answers in these trying times.

   We may know a thing is wrong, sad, dangerous, unfair, inequitable or unjust, but we really need to know ourselves and be clear of intention before setting off on a righteous crusade to save the world. Prayer, meditation, connecting with others of like-mind, spending time in nature and using our artistic gifts to create beauty in the world are all antidotes to crisis and change. Remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.
