new moon in pisces | march 2, 2022 - a lucky and liberating beginning, real changes to the order of things, reality checks, karmic endings, the new dream, watering our own roots

 

What a chart! Look at all the planets/energies TOGETHER (no wonder life on planet Earth is so intense!) - all the inner/personal planets are in conjunctions, connected tightly with other planets/energies and three are EXACT TODAY. 

 

Have I seen this before? NO. Conjunctions bring results and also start new cycles, so although today is a New Moon monthly cycle (Moon/Sun) it ALSO kicks off other new cycles - a Mars/Pluto cycle, a Venus/Pluto cycle, a Mercury/Saturn cycle and we have a Sun/Jupiter new cycle starting on Saturday and Venus/Mars on Sunday! What magic is this, folks?!

 

On Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - the Pisces Moon meets the Pisces Sun at 12 degrees giving us this month's New Moon, the final New Moon of our astrological year - our annual New Moon in Pisces.

 

Pisces is a mutable sign. The mutable signs prepare us for the change into the next season and this Moon really has her work cut out for her! New Moons are the time to set new intentions and working with Pisces themes (and the theme of your Pisces natal house) NOW allow the natural energies to flow with us.
 

All beginnings are endings, too, and since Pisces collectively rules our 12th house of endings, Pisces new beginnings sometimes have more to do with the ending. Maybe something needs to be forgiven/dissolved/discarded/fully grieved. And something wants to START. Think seeds into the ground. A new chapter.  

 

Time to dream BIG!
 

As the Moon naturally waxes (grows) over the next two weeks, and over the next 6 months until the Pisces Full Moon, so does whatever our intentions have set into motion - thoughts becoming things/our words energetically lining us up with what we are seeking, which is, of course, as Rumi said, "seeking us right back".
 

Besides the monthly lunar energy of "new beginnings" this particular Moon has its own relationship with the other players in the heavens based on its position. That is where the real juice of any particular New Moon can be found. 

 
Now let's unpack the chart!

 

The Moon is conjunct the Sun at 12 degrees Pisces. The Moon/Sun conjuncts Jupiter (who is conjunct asteroid Nessus) - this aspect is applying and STRONG. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces making this aspect even stronger/more Piscean. Pisces modern ruler Neptune is also in Pisces - so Pisces is where the buck stops for this one. The New Moon is sextile (opportunity) Uranus in Taurus. 

At the same Mercury is conjunct Saturn EXACT and we can see that powerful EXACT lineup in powerful Capricorn - Mars, Venus, Pluto and asteroid Amycus. Uranus is squaring Juno and Juno is sextiling Chiron. 

The sextile to Uranus speaks of liberating opportunities through change. The future is reaching back to meet us.

The conjunction to Jupiter speaks of expansion, hope, luck. What makes Jupiter lucky? Well, believing we are lucky for one thing. Optimism. Confidence. Believing in something bigger than ourselves. Having faith. Taking something further. Going out on a limb. Jupiter tells us we can't be playing small with whatever we are starting here. We need to be playing a bigger game to get the most from this energy. We need to RISE to the occasion.

 

The fly in the ointment with Jupiter, and this is amplified in Pisces, is taking things too far, thinking things are too good/too big. What's the difference between 'big' and 'too big' - well, that's the part we need to figure out! Delusions, exaggerations are possible, so we need to keep one foot on the ground now. Asteroid Nessus on Jupiter might also bring a warning of relying on or trusting untrustworthy people/situations.

 

Luckily for us, and this isn't usually what we would call a 'lucky' aspect, we have Mercury's annual powwow with Saturn going on RIGHT NOW. 

Foot to the ground needed? Well here is that nail through our sneaker (I hope you are wearing some old shoes for this one). 

 

After Mercury's back and forth through Cappy, here he is with daddy Saturn, ready to 'seal the deal'. This is a REALITY CHECK. Limit. Responsibility. Commitment. Maybe we have to say "no" or hear a "no". News can be challenging. Saturn conjunctions can bring endings/results - we talked about how Pisces New Moons can be more about the 'ending' and this is kind of doubling down on this. So, maybe this is speaking of something that has gotten too big or elusive/escapist and at this Mercury/Saturn there is a need to face reality/trim it back. 

Or maybe we are taking on a new responsibility/making a commitment we are ready for. In this case, the Jupertarian New Moon can really bring in luck/expansion. 

 

Juno has just sextiled Chiron - a healing through giving our relationships/contracts a little more space and now she squares Uranus EXACT. This speaks of a curve ball tossed into our relationships/contracts. The Moon's sextile to Uranus will help integrate changes, show us the opportunity here.

 

FOR EXAMPLE - let's say you are a SCORPIO RISING with a 5th house Pisces - the NEW is coming into your house of creativity, self-expression, children, romance, fun. The change, that will likely connect to this new beginning is coming through your 7th house - other people, a partner. The reality check is coming to your 4th house of home and family, this is likely connected in some way to the changes with/through a partner, open enemy or contract, but may not be. Or let's say you are a VIRGO RISING with a 7th house Pisces - the NEW is coming into your house of partners, partnerships, contract - something here is starting. The change, that will likely connect to this new beginning is coming through your 9th house - growth, expansion, stepping outside your comfort zone, foreign people/situations, travel, education, legal issues, religion. The reality check is coming to your 6th house of your daily routine/obligations, your health, your work. This is likely all connected, but sometimes speaks of different things.

 

The lineup in Capricorn is bringing intensity to our relationships and finances and our careers. Maybe our attention to authority, father figures, world events. Our actions are sober/serious/goal oriented. With Venus/Mars on Pluto, and Pluto not only being Pluto, but also ruling the South Node now (what we are releasing) there is the opportunity through this New Moon energy to UNLOAD very old ancestral/past life/childhood karmic baggage regarding the way we value ourselves and other people. The way we do relationships/mirror. The way we work with resources and money. The way we show up in the world. 

 

At the same time this Cappy stellium is bringing real changes to the order of things collectively and personally. This is all part of our progress into the Age of Aquarius/the unraveling of the Age of Pisces.

 

Avoid intoxicants because life will be intoxicating enough this week. Get enough rest. Our nighttime dreams can be intense, too. A Pisces New Moon will often be tinged with release/nostalgia. 

 

The Moon's most  important and tight aspect is that conjunction to expansive Jupiter. Something is wanting to GROW. Someone is going to get lucky. And with Pisces, this can all work backwards too. Change we set into motion now impacts our past, past lives and previous generations.

 

Can we water our own roots with a little Jupiter/Neptune magic? Damn right, we can!

 

 

NEW MOON INTENTIONS 

 

This is an excellent time for energetic support to make changes with things ruled by Pisces (and our 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, spirituality, meditation, sensitivity, trust, escapism, our lymphatic system, colds, our feet, toxicity.

AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a positive frame of mind - meaning both happy and certain - a quiet, clean space where you can be alone - write your affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud - then let's release our attention from these things knowing that your intention is known. 

Know these things are already yours.

 

 

xo all

For the first time in a long time, I am not going to set any intentions this month. Time to shut up for me I think. I am just going to do my normal clean my space/not use too many words the day of the New Moon/burn a white candle and just ask life/my higher self/my ancestors/God to guide my journey this cycle. It's my Jupiter return, too, so we'll see where all this goes ....
