Pisces is a water sign; the water element relates to our emotional, feeling and sensitive nature.  It gives us the ability to sense and feel psychic energy currents. Some of the key words related to Piscean energy are as follows:  Functional expression:  Sensitive, compassionate, spiritual, psychic, ESP abilities, serene, gentle, calm, imaginative, artistic, faith, divinity, reflective, dreams, loves music, movies and being near or in water.  Dysfunctional: addictive, fantasy, illusion, deceit, victim, escape, martyry, sees world through ‘rose coloured glasses’; wants to merge with another, wants another to save them, places others on a pedestal, guru worship, unable to discriminate, suffers unnecessarily, mental confusion. Goes into overwhelm easily and wants to avoid/escape from the physical reality they have created. 

This New Moon has five planets in Pisces as Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Mercury (intellect) and Uranus (illumination/liberation). Wow!  This is a large package of Piscean energy wafting from the cosmos into the hearts, minds and feelings of humans.  What does it mean?  Four of the planets are within only one degree of separation from each other therefore their dance together is very alluring and enticing.  Because a New Moon offers the potential for a new beginning I feel this subtle energetic package offers the opportunity to see yourself and your life from a higher perspective.  There is an opportunity for you to fly into heights never before experienced. 

The old veils of illusion, confusion and delusion are likely to part enabling the activation of formerly hidden ESP faculties.  Your sensitivities will probably be heightened as well as your compassion.   You are likely to want to spend time alone, either on the beach, swimming, fishing, sailing or in your private sanctuary. You may find yourself on a movie or music binge. There could be much that is unveiled should you choose to meditate around the time of this New Moon.  Breathe deeply and slowly, calm and blank your mind and be still. Allow impressions to come to you without any form of mental control.   Relax.  Magic and mystical experiences can happen when you provide the appropriate space. It’s also a good time for spiritual healing, including distance healing.  

It is important for me to mention that some people may unconsciously choose to use this cosmic energy package dysfunctionally.  The energy simply is.  It is available for individuals to use consciously or unconsciously.  It is our personal responsibility and choice how we utilize the cosmic forces.   We feel these forces motivating us.  It is wise to pay attention and choose to become conscious. Because of the nature of Piscean energy those who have a tendency to addiction may go ‘over the top’ with it during this New Moon phase and this could cause havoc and chaos.   Therefore, will power will be needed to decide not to take this path of suffering, self-sabotage and escape from the reality and truth of feelings, emotions and physical reality.          

Because some of these planets connect harmoniously to Mars, the planet of dynamic action, you may feel like initiating new action to enhance and energize your life. Mars is now ready to fire ahead after spending a few months in retrograde motion.  He is ready for action and offers greater vitality and creativity to those who choose to act confidently and assertively on their creative impulses.   

It feels to me as if Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system and the one that enables our mind to open and experience of the presence of Spiritual Masters, is protecting the rest of the Piscean family.   There is an opportunity, through this line up, for great inspiration and the creation of magnificent works of art providing you allow faith to guide rather than fear and control. 

The opposing sign to Pisces is Virgo and the two co-exist.  They can act like an inner ‘tug-of’-war’. The challenge is to consciously balance these two inner opposing forces in order for peace and harmony to be experienced as a constant.  This can only be done through self-awareness.   By understanding the key words and themes associated with the two you will soon come to realize how you can create inner balance. Those people with an extra strong dose of Piscean energy need Virgo to help them establish order and an effective daily routine.   Those with strong Virgo in their charts need Pisces to create relief from the Virgo work ethic.  Each of the energies needs expression but if the strong Virgo ignores their true feelings, disallows compassion, sensitivities and faith to guide then blockages in the work arena will occur.

Virgo is an earth sign; earth meaning all that is material and solid in our bodies and world. Functional expression:  methodical, efficient, clean, pure, detailed, able to analyse and delegate, discriminatory, discerning, practical, grounded, orderly, problem solver, precise and effective; daily routine, health, healing, small animals and service.  In the dysfunctional: critical, judgemental, over-analytical, non-discriminatory, gullible, impractical, puritanical, perfectionist, hypochondriac, unable to delegate, collects useless things or information.

All dysfunctional behaviour patterns can be corrected once they are identified.  Loving acceptance based on self-understanding is the key.  Once the correction is consciously made, and it is permanent, everyone if your sphere of influence benefits,

Those readers who have planets or points in their birth chart around 26 degrees of  Pisces/ Virgo/Gemini/Sagittarius, all mutable signs, will feel the affects of this New Moon more so than others.   Why not check out your birth chart to find where your Pisces is placed and work out which area (house) will be highlighted by theme at this time. 

You will have the cosmic energy aiding you to begin anew both spiritually and creatively. Illuminating insights, lightning bolts of brilliance, inventive and innovative ideas can enter your consciousness, all designed to set you free from any self-imposed imprisonment you unconsciously created. Head and heart can easily align and you may become very clear of your truth.  Expect the unexpected and realize that any new beginnings could come from left field.
