We have quite a lineup in Pisces for this new moon: the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, and Neptune. The universe is asking us to trust our mystical awareness and ask for spiritual healing. These energies are generous, expansive, and visionary. Your psychic awareness and sensitivity will be off the charts. Trust in your ability to dream your life into being. Over the years, I have had so many experiences in my day-to-day life of deja vu, when I realize that I’ve dreamed about what I’m doing before. It could be very mundane for example, the other day it was just a Zoom meeting. Sometimes it’s more dramatic, like dreaming about someone before I’ve met them. These experiences have informed how I think about time; what if there are these parallel waves of the different moments in our lives that we can access when we sleep? And what if at any moment we have access to many possible futures depending on what we do? This is all to say that for this new moon, it’s important to feel into your experience of time and the vision you hold for yourself, as well as how you perceive the nature of the universe. Know that your mystical awareness is calling you to expand your consciousness and to explore other ways of knowing beyond what you can taste, touch, see, and hear. Saturn joins Mercury in Aquarius for this new moon, which means you are feeling the need to think through what you want to communicate. With the visionary, dreamy energy afoot, it may be difficult to articulate what you are feeling and desiring. Like sand running through your fingers, trying to clasp onto an idea or dream can easily end up with it slipping through your consciousness. Saturn and mercury on their own are pragmatic and determined, allowing for a focus on the practical. If your mind becomes too hard-charging, you could inadvertently cut yourself off from the visionary inspiration afoot. Build in some time to dream and go non-linear. Get outside in nature and close to a body of water if you can.
Pisces superpower is compassion. Compassion for yourself, those you love, and those you don’t even know. As an example of this, in her memoir, Composed, Roseanne Cash relates a wonderful story about June Carter Cash. June got a phone call while Roseanne was visiting, and became engrossed. Roseanne assumed it was an old friend. She left the room and came back 10 minutes later, June was still engaged on the call. Finally, 10 minutes later, June hung up the phone. When Roseanne asked her who had called, she replied, “Oh, honey that was just a wrong number. I had such a great conversation with this woman about her life.” Can you imagine, especially in this day and age, taking such an avid interest in a stranger that you would talk to them for 20 minutes? We’ve lost some of that curiosity as a culture. And we’ve lost many if not most opportunities to even interact with people we don’t know due to the pandemic. The strange other is labeled politically and judged before we’ve even met them. However, shutting the door on others is equal to shutting down parts of ourselves that are untamed and that disagree with our current status quo. Consider the “other” whether it’s inside yourself or in your environment, as a beautiful stranger. One who has good reason for feeling and acting the way they do. You might not understand it, but that’s why it’s “other.” The point is to get curious and approach it from a more mystical awareness versus your logical mind. When you can practice this level of compassion with yourself and others, healing transformation can accelerate. If lovingkindness is part of your spiritual practice, this is a great new moon to practice it. Here’s a great guided lovingkindness(metta) meditation by Tara Brach.
Intentions: I release judgments and opinions and replace them with kindness towards myself and others. I have faith in my ability to experience mystical compassion towards all beings.
