A very floaty and watery New Moon of Pisces pushes us to be open and receptive to our spiritual world. We are more sensitive than usual under the Pisces New Moon as we navigate its watery energy. This is the time to be gentle with ourselves and make time to go within. Creating a stronger energy allows us to plant seeds and set intentions for the month ahead.
This is also our last lunar cycle before the start of a new astrological year, which arrives next month on the equinox. Pisces captures a collective consciousness that unites us all. The truth is, we share the same sunlight and breathe the same air. The common denominators that make us who we are as living beings help us realize that our differences, our individualities, are temporary. The integration of personal will into the collective consciousness is powerful.
One of the most important aspects of this month is the March Full Moon, which occurs on March 14th, in the earthy and detail-oriented sign of Virgo. This Full Moon, known for its grounding energy, combines with a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, adding an extra layer of intensity. This all coincides with the holiday of Purim. Lunar eclipses are a time of culmination, revealing truths, and pushing us to let go of what no longer serves us. The energy of this eclipse is perfect for reflecting on old patterns, making room for new growth, and aligning with your highest self.
Sometimes, to move forward, we need to take action (Mars), even when it challenges our existing beliefs. Jupiter in Gemini helps us move beyond our perceived reality to understand things more deeply. The day after the Full Moon, Mercury retrograde begins, creating a period of reflection and re-evaluation. Mercury Retrogrades are often associated with delays, miscommunications, and technology hiccups, but it’s also a time to revisit old ideas and strengthen your foundation. Use this energy to realign your goals before taking major action. We must be held accountable to higher spiritual standards. Find the spiritual teacher within and without.
