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.

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.
