New Moon in Pisces 19th March 01:23 GMT
Full Moon in Libra 2nd April
The New Moon is in Pisces, the last sign in the zodiac, which holds within it the memory of all that has come before. Every joy, every wound, every lesson gathered across the entire zodiac journey. A New Moon in this sign gives us an opportunity to lay it all gently down and to open up to the possibility of infinite potential. We are blessed by the sign of the fish, with a deep inner resilience. The strength of flexibility to cope with change and to find beauty even within the depths of loss and pain.
This New Moon represents a pivotal moment in our personal lives as well as in history. What was before is ready to be released. What comes after is ready to be re-imagined. The following day, the Sun enters Aries for the Vernal Equinox and the zodiac wheel turns anew. Mercury ends its retrograde period. A complicated untangling process now finds clarity and brings us a sense of peaceful relief. This New Moon promises renewal that surges from the power of release.
Like the crest of a waterfall there is an inevitability to what arrives through this lunation. Mercury has been retrograde in Pisces, helping us find deeper meaning. Whilst Saturn has just completed its three-year journey through Piscean waters and has brought lessons that are still resonating. A pool of wisdom reflects the truth of who we are back to us and a portal of possibility swirls into sight. This is not a moment for making plans and committing to intentions. It is a chance to set ourselves free. To take a dive into the potential of what could be when we allow ourselves to move in alignment with real empathy and to believe in our own resilience to endure bearing witness to the reality of the world we stand in.
The ability to hold opposites requires us to surrender to the truth. This feels particularly significant and poignant under this lunation as the conjoined Sun and Moon connect in a sextile aspect to both Uranus, the planet of great awakening, and Pluto, the planet of power and transformation. Uranus is in Taurus, offering us a sense of unexpected security during times of change. Pluto, in Aquarius, pushes taboo topics and the truth up to the surface to be aired. Old structures disintegrate. A skin that has become too restrictive is ready to be shed. Breakthroughs come easily. Freedom arrives through letting go of what cannot be controlled.
Venus in Aries squares Jupiter in Cancer bringing a tender complexity to our hearts and our relationships. Venus in Aries desires freedom, directness, the thrill of new beginnings in love and in life. Jupiter in Cancer expands our longing for a feeling of being at home. Our need for emotional security and nourishing connection is amplified. The tension between these two is not a conflict without resolution. It is an invitation to find the balance between independence and intimacy, between the self and the beloved. In love, as in life, true flourishing comes not from choosing one or the other, but from honouring both.
This New Moon in Pisces supports us to surrender to the flow of the universe. This lunation soothes us with the element of water. When we accept what is fluid, without trying to capture or change it, we allow it to move according to the current of transformation and in turn free ourselves from friction and frustration.
We are infinitely connected to one another and to the planet which sustains us. A powerful, ancient, invisible wisdom flows within all of us. This energy carries us, through instinct, to what needs to be healed. What is ready to be cleansed will be washed away. What needs to be nourished will be saturated and satisfied by the power of love.
Guided Meditation
Find a comfortable place where you feel at peace. Let yourself be still. Allow yourself to soften. Notice the tension and as you sense it within your body, imagine it being released with every breath you let go of. Your breath flows freely. Let it come and go however it needs to. Settle yourself to a place of deep safety. Thoughts wander for imagination to tell us the story we need to hear. This creativity within you is a gift. Let your mind go where it needs to now. Allow yourself to take steps into a world of your own creation. Your feet carry you, step by gentle step, to a place where you can feel truly accepted. Perhaps there is water in this world. Maybe it is calm and still but there is infinite movement even if it is subtle. Waves or ripples catch the light as they flow with your breath.
You are being invited to let yourself surrender to this energy. You don’t have to immerse yourself completely if you are not ready. Even dipping your toes into this source of power will infuse your being with energy of positive renewal. Let this water take what you no longer need to carry with you. Let yourself be healed by the softness of the waves.
You are becoming lighter. With each breath, each wave, every ripple of release, you become free. And in this space that is opening within you, something new begins to stir. A warm, encouraging sense of pure peace. A sense of possibility. A quiet, steady sense of self trust.
On the horizon before you, a faint light is beginning to glow, your future is taking shape. The current is taking you towards it but there is no rush. Be present now. Trust in the tide. You are being carried by a wave of love into a new beginning. You are loved. You are safe. You are ready for whatever comes.
