The New Moon is the time to set your intentions for the month ahead. By getting clear on what you want, you will effectively be sending out arrows of desire that cannot help but start to manifest. For detailed tips on New Moon wishing you can read more by clicking on this link. The best time for your wish is within 8 hours afterwards the lunation, but anything within 48 hours is still charged with the New Moon energy.
PISCES is the spiritual, mysterious energy of the zodiac. It is the last sign in the 12 part wheel - the completion. It is the dreamer, the healer. The one which likes to connect to the most private self, the inner most layer.
When we think about new beginnings, first we have to close the chapter before. A bit like how I always say in class - start with an exhale, make room, and then inhale.
New Moon in PISCES is our chance to close the past year. The energy of this sign is inner peace, facing our biggest fears, surrendering, deep healing - both physical and emotional, saying no to things that harm us or keep us stuck and to connect to our spiritual side.
Focus on the areas that are connected to the New Moon in Pisces energy, as any wish connected to them will be extra supported:
anything to do with dreams, interpreting them, making them, sharing them
releasing, getting rid of secrets that are burdening you
taking a leap of faith believing in something that you always wanted to believe in, but were too afraid to put your trust in
accepting imperfections in yourself and in others as a different kind of “perfection”
starting a creative, imaginative project
giving up any self-sacrificing, self-undoing, martyr tendencies
consciously putting aside time for peaceful, rejuvenating activities these can include yoga and meditation, but can be as simple as an hour of 'me' time
practicing putting yourself into other people's shoes, and having compassion, letting some things go (such as judgments, annoyances, criticism)
connecting or re-connecting with a lover on a romantic level
heightening your intuition through meditation and spiritual practices
trusting your instincts
facing your hidden fears
professions supported by Pisces energy are the ones that demand sympathy, spirituality, willingness to help others and make sacrifices like spiritual advisers, charitable workers, religious duties, healers, naturopaths and the world of imaginary like theater, film or circus, art, music, poetry, photography and painting
releasing any kind of addiction
healing, spirituality
Pisces are connected to the feet and toes, so having a lovely Reflexology or Foot massage
connecting with the subconscious mind, Yoga Nidra is a wonderful Yogic tool for this (for further information read blog post on Yoga Nidra) or come to the Workshop mentioned above on Saturday
Yasmin Boland (Moonology) suggests the following action plans for the Pisces New Moon:
◗1. Dream…
Ah, the lovely dreamy place that is Pisces! This is the home of dreams, mystical matters and compassion. Think about what you’re thinking about. Think about what you’re dreaming about. Are you using your imagination for good – that means to attract all that you want? This is the New Moon when you can work on releasing fear.
◗2. Face your fears
The New Moon in Pisces is also about secrets, and sometimes about lies. It’s about the things we don’t want to admit to ourselves or anyone else. Do an inventory of your fears at the time of this New Moon and you could find yourself liberating yourself of some of your fears. These spineless little critters often run in the opposite direction when they’re confronted head on, and now is the time to do that.
◗3. Get cosmic!
Because of all the mystical energy around when the Pisces energy is so strong, it’s a wonderful time to work on your intuitive skills. Make a note of your hunches and see what transpires. Play around with Tarot or Archangel cards and test your results.
◗4. Heal
If you’re suffering emotionally or spiritually, note that there’s extra easy access to healing energies when the New Moon in Pisces takes place. The sign is strongly associated with Neptune, a planet that has the power to take ethereal shreds of an idea and turn them into daydreams – and as we all know, daydreams can come true, thanks to the Law of Attraction. If you need spiritual healing, seek out a healer. Ask friends for a recommendation. Also make a list of what ‘being healed’ would entail for you, and see it happening – then tick things off as they come to pass.
◗5. Surrender
Note that Pisces is about dreams, so write down your dreams this month. What do you want? What are your fantasies, sexual or otherwise? Seek bliss. Surrender to the Universe and trust that what you need is what’s happening. Practising yoga and other spiritual activities is highly recommended around the time of the Pisces New Moon (and beyond). This is the time to access your higher self: the part of you that knows you’re connected to all life everywhere.
The Pisces is the most spiritual and subtle sign of the Zodiac, time to believe in your dreams and to make them true!
