Soul Astrology
New Moon in Pisces
15 March, '10

Using the New Moon moment as a birth chart for the following month, my comments are meant to provide an attitude that maximises our ease and growth during that time. Please don’t worry about understanding the astrology - just go for the drift.

Dear People,

A shorter version of this New Moon letter, with chart itself and the Contemplation, can be seen and heard - the quickest way in is to open my website www.soulastrology.com and click the green button which says ‘Margaret on youtube.com’. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Pisces, the boundless . . .

Pisces is not easy to define, because any definition states shape and boundary, and Pisces is that aspect of life that knows no boundaries. It’s like being in the middle of the ocean, way below the surface waves, but nowhere near the sea-bed, nor any shore. There is no reference point that would indicate you are moving, so the Pisces experience can feel like being stuck. But the current has us in hand, and moves us where it will. The Pisces’ current affects us on many levels of human sensitivity: water itself, blood and lymph; what is commonly called the psychic world with all the glamour of unseen causes; the emotions that make us teary, like grief, or tears of joy (as opposed to firey passions); and the spiritual planes where our soul’s journey is assured and assisted. Whatever it is for you, this month focuses on that.

Depending what planets or Houses are connected with Pisces in your chart, this is where you will be open to emotion within yourself and around you, probably not knowing quite how much of it is yours. We tend to experience any difficulties here as confusion and uncertainty, and there’s a tendency to martyr ourself in that area of life. Pisces’ ruler is Neptune, whose position in your chart may indicate the place where you are intuitive, have gut feelings or clairvoyance, feel devotion to ideals of service, or express artistic creativity.

This Pisces New Moon - emotional freedom

Uranus spends seven years in each Zodiac sign, and is now in its last year of Pisces since entering in March 2003. The House(s) in your birth chart where you have Pisces, shows the area of life where you will have been feeling Uranus energy in recent years, a process of developing through ways you had not foreseen. Surprises, flashes of intuition, new ideas and realisations, losses and un-looked-for gains, are all likely within the activities and relationships that particular House relates to.

This is important now, because this New Moon conjuncts Uranus – meaning that this month, any changes that have been waiting in the wings to manifest, will be coming to your attention, needing to be acknowledged. Being in Pisces, these changes could be in your attitudes and responses to emotional situations that crop up. Religious and spiritual understanding may get updated.

Upbeat energy restored

From 7 March (Venus entered Aries), you may have become aware that you have put others before your own needs. This new attitude could create misunderstandings or clashes around ‘selfishness’ (as Venus opposed Saturn and squared Pluto). Warmth, positivity and humour (Mars direct in Leo trining the New Moon) will ensure that the flow of communication is not stopped by what may have arisen. Personal wishes need to be incorporated, even if one can’t see at first how to do this. Without our human preferences we have no interface for relating to our world. The present Aquarian influence ensures that we learn to appreciate the preferences of others, as well as our own, recognising that we are not in a position to judge others’ life experience.

So the way to keep from arguments and upset will be humour and expression of friendship – kindness and respect, as always, work as a grounding for all relationships, and are emphasised this month (Mars in Leo in harmony with Saturn in Libra). Mars has just begun to move forwards again, so there will be much more energy available to achieve any desired or needed changes.

Tune in, and share what you get

We also have the opportunity to be fully aware of new ways that can be incorporated, and the changes we could make that would open up new possibilities (Mercury with the New Moon and Uranus). Meditation and contemplation around any problem issues may provide the conduit for new ideas, but they may just as easily come in while you’re reading a book or walking down the street. Last month, writing down your inspirations served as reminders for when they became relevant; this month, it will be valuable to sit and write as a way of opening the door for conscious inspiration to pour through. Initiating discussions would also help the flow of inspiration, but it is just as likely to bring a flow of stored emotional disclosures and reactions, which might be quite surprising!

This month we really could become aware of the Oneness working through all our differences, really see that basically we all want the same things – happiness, love, understanding, and to be effective in our movement towards achieving that. Within the arms of spirit (God/the Light/all that is forever the truth) there is no place where Love is not. When we don’t have that inner certainty, it is because we have pulled closed the door to it within ourselves. Uranus and Mercury on this New Moon in Pisces gives us the opportunity to open that door and feel, even if only for moments, the flood of joy that accompanies our merging with that all-encompassing Love.

True freedom

So let this be the month you open yourself on any level where you have felt stuck or trapped. Just relax and open to not knowing how things can sort themselves out. Be prepared to allow the stuff of life to flow away from you to make space for the next things to arrive. As far as you can manage, be without judgement, and without fear. But also be prepared to wait before acting on the new input – Uranus may bring and take away, but it doesn’t help us deal with the resulting situation! To use this influence, we need to maintain a measure of detachment from outcomes – and, to hold that attitude, a high level of trust is needed in the love of the spiritual current that is carrying us along.

True freedom is an inner state. Regardless of our personality pulling away from what it fears and towards what it desires, inner freedom is the ability to choose your action in the light of wisdom and service.

Contemplation for this New Moon in Pisces

Be truly quiet for a while . . .

gentleness,

the sweet harmony of breath and heart beat.

You are all.

You are a doorway

through which infinity passes,

like a rushing wind

through the stillness of a breath-less day.

You are nothing but a breath of air

passing this way and that,

in and out.

You are the gathering forces

that create, in every cell,

complexities beyond imagining.

You are the sunlit space

revealing eddies of dust and smoke,

of words and emotions, swirling

in the draught of your every move.

Where is the single word

that could describe you?

If you have wings,

to where could you fly

where you are not already,

waiting to be discovered?

Love yourself -

be in wonder and amazement.

Open your heart,

that vessel of liquid light,

letting light spill over all you conceive.

Creation bows to the quiet one

holding truth lightly in their hand,

while the pulsing music of life is stilled,

and silence wraps this

. . . emptiness . . .

in peace.
