Surrender to the call of spirit with the Pisces New Moon.

The Foundation

Pisces is a very transcendent energy. It’s known for being very transpersonal, fluid and receptive in nature. Pisces is highly compassionate and capable of deep emotion. Pisces symbolically represents the vast ocean of consciousness where everything is one. It’s the space where our individual ego is surrendered for connection with spirit.

Pisces is associated with spirituality, intuition, and expansive imagination. It’s more aware of interconnection and less concerned with individual needs or pursuits. It’s driven by ideals and creativity. Pisces is a sign and energy that is boundaryless. Pisces individuals tend to absorb and reflect back the energy and people that are around them. They can be non-discriminatory and impressionable because they are so receptive.

This Pisces new moon is supporting you as you surrender to the call of your spirit. It’s not asking you to initiate anything brand new, but instead to align your spirit with the actions you’ve been initiating this year. It invites you to integrate your heart and imagination into your future visions. This new moon wants to water your dreams with magic.

The energy of this new moon is actually very familiar because we’ve had all of the personal planets in Pisces over the past month - Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. This stellium has helped us to become more self-compassionate and receptive to the inevitable change ahead for each of us individually and collectively. It’s helping us to feel into the next steps. Intuition is currently more heightened and more reliable than logic.

Additionally, we’ve experienced significant Pisces energy over the past few years via transits of the nodes, Saturn, and Neptune. Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac. It holds all the lessons we gather through the transits of the sun and other planets. Because of this final position and the extended engagement we’ve had with Pisces, and the degree this moon is at in Pisces - the very end- this new moon carries the energy of a new beginning that is based in a profound ending.

It’s similar to when you leave your family home for college or your own apartment/job. It’s a very significant new beginning that you trust and know you have to take, but it's also intimately tied with an ending or profound shift of what has been. We won’t have this much Pisces energy again for at least a couple of decades, so this transition is soul-level. This new moon is encouraging you to trust the whispers of your spirit and have faith that the path will open.
