On Saturday, March 13, 2021 at 5:21AM EST the Pisces Moon meets the Pisces Sun giving us this month's New Moon - our annual New Moon in Pisces.
Happening conjunct Neptune (co-ruler of Pisces) and VENUS (exalted in Pisces) gives this one added oomph. Wait, not oomph. OOMPH. Is there anything that isn't possible here?! Happening at 23 degrees, yes, again, this is the FINAL 23 degree New Moon in a series that started back in October 2020.
Neptune/Pisces rules our collective 12th house where there is no separation between us and everything else. There is no time. There is no space. This is where we find God/spirit/the Universe.
The positive expressions of Piscean energy include - connection,
imagination, music, art, empathy, compassion, healing, spirituality,
transcendence of the physical world. The negative expressions of any
energy are really the positive expressions taken to an extreme. So
imagination becomes delusion/lies, empathy become martyrdom,
transcendence (lack of physical connection) becomes addiction,
escapism, mental illness. Pisces is the last house - it rules endings
and the things we do last. Because the 12th house is behind the 1st
house (our physical self) - it rules what is behind us, what is
done behind our back, what we have put away, our past, the things we
have forgotten, memory, our ancestors, sleep, charities, prisons,
hospitals, illness.
We operate through both positive and negative expressions of every
placement in our charts, but each placement and aspect was designed for a
specific purpose. It is perfect for that purpose and nothing else will
do. It also has less desirable side effects. Sometimes we get so
caught up in the side effects, which we usually label as problems, we
can't see the good stuff which comes most naturally to us.
Now let's unpack the chart and make sure we see the good stuff!
The Moon is conjunct the Sun at 23 degrees Pisces. They conjunct Pisces ruler Neptune (20 degrees) and Venus (19 degrees) exalted in Pisces. They semi-sextile, EXACT, Eris (in Aries) who is answering to Mars who is quintile the Moon/Sun and answering to Mercury (in Aquarius ands semi-sextile Pluto, so pulling in Cappy). Pisces co-ruler Jupiter (ancient) is in Aquarius and semi-sextile Venus, answering to Saturn in Aqua and Uranus in Taurus (so answering to Venus and then Neptune). We can see everyone is involved in this chart through rulership, disposition or an exact aspect! The Moon/Sun are also EXACTLY conjunct asteroid Wuhan (a proven significator for the virus) and asteroid Isis.
Having the Moon and Sun conjunct Neptune while they are answering to Neptune is not the same as having the Sun blow out a planet (in this case Neptune) by eclipsing him. Neptune is still strong here. I think we get the best of Neptune - the transcendence, without the mind-blowing bullsh*t. Our rose-colored glasses lose their rose-colored tinting while somehow still retaining their rose-coloring abilities. Does this make sense? An enlightened Neptune gets the solar light of the Sun. Illusions burned away. Clarity. Our big idealized dream is endorsed by the Sun - in the collective/physical world, look at Biden (the Sun, whose natal chart includes a stellium of 12th house planets) signing a massive stimulus bill (Neptune/Venus and also Pisces ancient ruler Jupiter in Aqua, since the benefit is to the collective) - which is an actual real thing the likes of which (in size and scope and showing what is valued now) has never happened before.
Toss an exalted Venus into the mix and we add in love, money, our values, beauty, women, self-esteem. Now, again, she is conjunct the Sun, but she isn't actually going to meet up with the Sun until they are both in Aries (fire!), and she is EXALTED, so not a fading beauty here, by any stretch of the imagination.
Whatever is started now, is really only limited by Pisces co-rulership of Jupiter, and this is actually good news, too. Yes, this pulls in Saturn (new rules, authority, responsibility) and unpredictable Uranus, but I feel better seeing them here. Aqua/Taurus - air and earth. The new/idealized stuff is smarter/more practical and forward leaning than it looks with all the Piscean lalaland.
The Moon/Sun's only EXACT aspect (we'll bypass Wuhan for a bit) is a semi-sextile to Eris. Now, we've had arguably better aspects with Eris than a semi-sextile over the last few months (all these 23 degree New Moons have been talking to this 'outsider/whistleblower' energy), but here I would read this something like - Pisces’ compassion can temper Aries warlike qualities, while Aries can provide the initiative to realize Pisces visions. This also adds some much needed fire to the chart. And it's EXACT and the final 23 New Moon interacting with Eris (next month both the Moon and Eris move to 22). There is a reason she is there - making sure everyone/every part of us - gets a seat at the table - or that table gets flipped. Think about Meghan Markle with Eris conjunct her midheaven and transiting Eris squaring her Pluto on an angle (post coming about that story and her incredible connections to Ann Boleyn).
The Moon/Sun are conjunct asteroid Isis. A bit of a challenge to me to feel/find her 'story' without filtering her through "daughter of", "wife of", mother of", so I am going to work with that. Choose to see that here. Remember what you are reading is this chart through my eyes/experience/knowledge - it can be interpreted myriad ways.
We are all daughters/sons of someone. We are all the mother of or mothering someone/something. We are all the wife of/partner of/collaborator with someone/something. It's always been interesting to me how gravestones/the final markers of our lives - will refer to us in relation to our relations. In Pisces, the final sign and ruling our connection back through time - our past lives/ancestors/familial gifts and curses - the conjunction of Isis with the Sun/Moon, speaks to me of the power of the New Moon to break the 'spell' very old, and often unspoken, family rules have over us.
We are all vulnerable to loneliness, guilt, escapism, addiction, martyrdom and manipulation, since we all have Neptune in our chart/blueprint and no one has a perfect childhood/perfect family. The fear of being outcast is painful to all of (some more than others). But if we truly believe we are meant to be, and I should think you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't believe that and truly one of 2020's primary lessons has been to figure out THAT WE MATTER - and so we can choose to believe that challenging the unconscious familial/collective system does not make us bad or need to result in our starvation within the tribal structure, then we can make efforts to retain/obtain positive relationships with family members while still preserving our own independent values and path in life. This is all, in different ways, reinforced by Eris's placement and Juno's separating square
(which we talked about HERE and happening at the New Moon could mean 'the new' might challenge a relationship/contract).
So, this Moon, closing out the New Moons of the astrological year of 2020, coming at a time when many people have been separated both physically and psychically from family/these karmic inheritances, long enough to maybe feel their way into a new connection with them and maybe see this stuff for the gift it is. Not to break ties, although sometimes, yes, ties will be broken, but to move toward something more authentic and NOW. I hope this makes sense.
The final aspect I see is a quintile to Mars (in Gemini). The ''gift/our talent/genius" (quintile, which is a 72 degree aspect) of the Moon coming through that Mars in Gemini. Taking action. Maybe multiple actions or on pairs of things. Talking. Communicating. Signing documents. Commerce. Writing. Teaching. Gathering. Our community. Our siblings. Think of Biden (what you think of him personally doesn't matter) signing the stimulus bill. Think of Meghan (what you think of her personally doesn't matter) talking/giving that interview.
Keep in mind Piscean power comes from its transcendent/connective nature. That's where the magic lies. This is the rising tide that lifts all ships. Our ancestors are holding our hands, coaxing us forward. If you don't know what to do with this, and this is Pisces, so we might NOT, just keep this in mind. The skies are dark - WE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW. God/life knows what to do with us. Your Pisces natal house is offering you a great gift and although Pisces is mostly not up to us, it can be useful to have your voice heard now (that Mars in Gemini and look at Mercury semi-sextile transformative Pluto EXACT). This is an excellent month to set your verbal/written intentions. DREAM BIG people.
This is an excellent time for energetic support to make changes with things ruled by Pisces (and your Pisces natal house theme!)
including our imagination, art, music, the past, compassion, releasing
our victim stories, releasing self-sabotage, healing our ancestral
wounds, healing addictions, spiritual healing, sensitivity, trust,
escapism, our lymphatic system, colds, our feet, toxicity, illness, viruses.
AFFIRMATION TIPS: Get into a positive frame of mind - meaning both happy
and certain - a quiet and clean space where you can be alone is best. Write your
affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud. Then let's
release your attention from these things knowing that your intention is
known.
You have cast your S-P-E-L-L. Know these things are already yours.
xo all
Just realized I skipped asteroid Wuhan, and let's not do that since he is exact here on the Moon/Sun. At first I was thinking, of no whoa when I saw him there, but after unpacking the Moon, I think his connection to this idealistic New Moon is a GOOD thing. Maybe more light will be shined on the virus's origin story. Maybe, over the next six months, as this New Moon grows into her fully idealized self - we will see the continued dissolve of this virus and the awakening of a more sociable period. The dream is alive in this New Moon. Let's imagine things turning out very, very well for everyone. Let's bring our powerful collective focus to that.
