New Moon in Pisces: Water and
Earth Support to Clear the Path
Moon conjunct Sun- 2/23/2020 @
9:32am CST
The Storm Moon cycle begins just
two days before the Pisces Sun-Mercury Interior Conjunction and Capricorn Mars-South
Lunar Node Conjunction. And though New
Moons always hold a vibration of seeding your intentions to start the lunar
cycle…this one is also working with forces that are working diligently to clear
away the past. In these Dark Moon days
before the waxing crescent appears, the call is for thoughtful action as we
release what blocks us from taking an unexplored path.
Supporting each other through
harmonious aspects in a pattern known as a Cradle (or a Trapeze), Capricorn
Mars-South Node, Pisces Moon-Sun-Mercury, Taurus Uranus, and Cancer North Node
are all working with Earth and Water elements.
This is a feminine, receptive cradle…where the action arises from the
opposition between the Nodal Axis and Out-of-Bounds, Exalted Mars stirring
things up at the South Node. And though
there are easy aspects supporting him, Mars is not likely to go easy on cutting
away at what needs to go. With such a
strong and unconventional Mars at the South Node, it is more likely that many
of us will be feeling the heightened urge to purge whatever has been gumming up
the works on our Soul Path. This is
happening collectively, but it also inclines us to individually say ‘Time’s Up’
to something in our lives. The releases
within this time are necessary for the new ideas to come in.
With such emphasis on the
elements of Water and Earth now, we are working through the emotional realm as
well as the material realm. But with the
nodes involved in the action, it is guided by our Collective Soul needs. Here’s a list of all these forces at play in
this New Moon Cradle:
Water:
North Lunar Node in Cancer- What
the Collective Soul needs to take in to evolve…a need for compassionate care,
emotional bonding, and intuitive response.
Moon-Sun in Pisces- The
Collective Intent to bring disparate parts into wholeness.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces-
The Collective Mind releasing past dreams of an old cycle to shift perspective
to new neural pathways.
Earth:
Mars-South Lunar Node in
Capricorn- the increased desire to release what the Collective Soul no longer
needs…a powerful severance from past patriarchal actions of constriction and supremacy
over Earth.
Uranus in Taurus- Revelations
and innovations in the material realm…bringing the Higher Mind down to Earth to
make sudden and revolutionary changes in our relationship with Earth and her
resources.
So all together, the activity
of this New Storm Moon may feel a bit unsettling, rebellious, precarious, or
even dangerous…there is a safety net from the Pisces-Taurus sextile. It allows us to be creative and innovative in
our approach. All of the planets
involved, after all, currently have an air of going against the grain of what
we’re used to. This is an excellent time
to try something new and say goodbye to some old ways of thinking and acting.
The Sabian Symbol highlighted
by our luminaries is Pisces 5: ‘a church bazaar’. The Way of Pisces is one of integration and
fusion. As mentioned above, this mutable
water sign inclines the fusing together of seemingly different things to create
a rather mystical cohesion. Like the
boundless sea, Pisces is the energy of ‘All is One’. In this degree the group comes together, in a
spirit of support and exchange, to find some meaning in a collection of varied
items. We see in this image the water/earth
combination of bonding through the material experience. There is a social element in this New Moon,
as there often is when sextile aspects are predominant. It is about establishing good rapport with
helpful others…and making new associations that you might otherwise not take
the opportunity to meet.
Love and Gratitude,
