Hello everyone
Tonight we have a New Moon in Pisces at 8:35 PM ET.  Pisces is a water sign and the 12th sign of the zodiac signifying the Great “Cosmic Oneness” from which we all emerge and ultimately return. This 12th and final sign of the zodiac wheel is all about “perception” and seeing with our Third Eye…using our psychic senses to perceive the hidden and unseen realms…the subtle realms of the unconscious: dreams, telepathy, psychic phenomena, precognition, mysticism and inspiration. As we know, we are moving quickly from the density of the 3D world to a more enlightened and “en-Lifened” state of being. Pisces is the sign that provides the bridge from the third dimension to that of higher consciousness and altered states. It moves us from the physical plane into the astral worlds and beyond.  Like a radio receiver, we can attune to a myriad of “channels and frequencies”. Logic and reason dissolve in the world of the unconscious. Pisces has no sense of time (except the Dreamtime). There is no past, no future, and no separation. This is the sign of the “Christ Consciousness” of total Oneness and Compassion of the Heart. The challenging side of Pisces is that it dissolves the Ego and one can become “lost”, confused and very easily manipulated as Neptune is the watery ruler of Pisces. The flip side of Christ-consciousness is victimization and martyrdom. It is extremely important to create boundaries for yourself and remain grounded during Piscean transits (or if you have the sign of Pisces prominent in your chart.
Some may feel helpless in the waters of the unseen worlds. Fear of the unknown can produce the feeling of drowning or being overwhelmed by the collective tide pool of emotional drama/trauma. TRUST is the key to working out the Piscean code. Pisces is not the way of material security or absolute control; nor is it the way of the hapless victim. It is the gift of faith that connects us to a loving and bountiful Universe of Spirit and gives us a sense of inner security, even under the most chaotic of circumstances.
The lesson of our evolution from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius is about being spiritual beings in a material world. Our bodies are not escape vehicles. We are learning to move beyond dysfunctional behaviors, addictions and victimhood as we embrace more Light and replace Fear with Love. Pisces goes beyond dogma and the Law moving us into the realms of unconditional love and surrender to Spirit.
The New Moon, as we know, is a time of “seeding” and starting a new beginning for whatever is implied by the meaning of the sign it inhabits.
Pisces will rekindle our spiritual flame, open our hearts to magic and inspire our spirits to dream, soar, and create new realities over the next two weeks until Full Moon in Virgo on March 10th.
If you work in healing modalities of any kind, involved in metaphysics, and/or  are follow a spiritual path of any type, Pisces will help to reinforce your energy levels, as long as you stay open to your inner guidance and radiate your own truth. Pisces is about compassionate service, not servitude. If you are an artist, musician, poet, dancer (or open to your own creativity in any form) your “muse” will be awakened and aroused during this Piscean New Moon. Enjoy!
Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Chiron and Neptune are all still moving through the sign of Aquarius. Our psyches are tuned into innovative ideas and creative breakthroughs. Revelations and Revolutions will to continue to emerge full blown as Mercury conjoins Mars in Aquarius on March 1st and Neptune on March 5th. Think “Einstein’s Brain” and the Dalai Lama’s heart and you get the picture.
Venus turns retrograde on March 6th at 15 degrees Aries. As the symbol of beauty and harmony in the sign of the Warrior, Venus highlights the areas of love and finances. We have a chance to examine where we may have been overly aggressive in these areas and to make the necessary changes.
We may need to compromise in order to bring balance back into our relationships, or we may have to examine our priorities regarding security and money. Pisces asks: “Is there more to life than material needs”? What about our spiritual needs? Have we allowed our primary relationships to fall by the wayside, while we attend only to survival issues? Do we need to find more “heart” in the work that we do to earn our livings? Venus will turn direct once again on April 17th (at 29 degrees Pisces), and over the next few weeks we will have the opportunity to reorder our priorities and set new standards for ourselves, our communities, and our world.  This New Moon in Pisces gives us the “green light” to set our intentions for bringing more peace, harmony, and creativity into our lives. We are being impelled to dream a new dream and to create a New Earth!
Many Blessings and Sweet Dreams to All,
Mary
