This month’s new moon in Pisces brings a dual purpose. The first invites us to go down the pleasure path, choose intuition over logic, and to celebrate dreamy, glittering experiences. (Think about the sun glittering on the ocean in
. As above, so is below.) And since yummy Venus and Neptune also meet up on this date, there is so much ooey gooey, lovey dovey vibing going on. Feel yourself!…and maybe your significant other or situationship. (Ahem.)
This is the perfect time to get into your feelings. Take a nap or meditate. Let your mind be free. Above all, nurture your creativity. Whether that means making a playlist to dance (or cry) to or getting out that old craft you started in the first quarantine and never finished, it’s a good time to get a little lost in all things expressive. Just let your intuition guide you — don’t force it.
But this new moon also calls for us to do some deep, emotional work. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. As such, it calls us to prepare to let go for the astrological new year and Spring Equinox. It’s been
a year, literally and figuratively. (You can say that again.) Reflect on the end of this journey and where the collective tide has taken us.
If you journal, this new moon is a great time to look back on this past year’s entries and see if any themes emerge. If you don’t keep a journal, allow yourself some soft space to reflect. Go on a walk, or, better yet, take a shower or bath to clear your mind and think back on the year that was. Once you identify something to let go, write it on a sheet of paper, submerge it in a bowl of water, surrendering what is written to the waves.
Ultimately, Neptune (the Piscean ruler) is calling you to surrender here and go with the flow. Don’t worry about the hows and ifs and whens. Embrace the floating sensation of knowing you’re wrapped in a bubble of cosmic protection.
If you’re so inclined, keep a dream journal of the days before and after this new moon. Your psychic receptivity will be keen, especially if you have strong Pisces placements. You just might have a spiritual breakthrough or be called to give to a favorite charity since Neptune is the planet of compassion.
Connect to spirit — no matter how you define it. This is a time to reflect and release, but also to dream and hope. What you manifest now will come to fruition near the Full Moon on September 20th.
A reading for your sun sign:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Clear your calendar, Ram. With the sun moving into your sign next week, you need all the self-care time you can get before the world turns its spotlight on you during your solar return. It can seem like your New Year’s Eve, so revisit what you wanted for 2021. Keep a notebook handy to write down anything that pops up — even if it doesn’t immediately make sense.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Venus calling! Your gorgeous ruler floats into dreamy Pisces. Expect to be carried away by lush fantasies and all the warm fuzzy feelings. Let yourself go and be true to your desires. (You’ve got lots of them.) This will be the time to call a BFF for a luxurious check-in or to dance around your kitchen as you whip up a culinary delight.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Don’t worry if you feel like you’re drowning this new moon. Gemini is an air sign and coasting on the waves doesn’t come easy for you. Try to breathe through this moody, dreamy new moon and focus on what you can bring to bear in your career sector over the next six months.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Sometimes things are too good to be true, so venture out of your shell this new moon, but retain a healthy dose of skepticism. Embrace the call of Piscean curiosity, little crab, and manifest where you want to be when the Full Moon comes around next September. You might find a new address for your shell to call home.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Make sure you have a fire extinguisher near by. This new moon is going to be H-O-T for you, Leo, as it lands in your 8th house of intimacy. This is a time to explore your fantasies and indulge in a little emotional (and, um, physical) release.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Don’t get swept out to sea, Virgo. With Venus exalted in Pisces, she’s in her fall with Virgo. Keep true to yourself and analyze if it’s infatuation or the real deal.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Shake things up this weekend and invite some new energy into your life. Since it’s hard to get out and about, focus on your home and its vibe. Your self-care routine will help you to tap into that luscious Venusian spirit, and keeping your routine consistent will light up your Libra soul.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
This new moon is super juicy for you, Scorpio. Creativity is the name of the game. You’ll have some of your best ideas in the week leading up to the new moon and a few days after. And whether you’re writing, recording a podcast, or getting a little creative in the sack, you are a fertile being. Sow your seeds wisely.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Focusing on home and family is your literal jam this new moon. It’s a sweet, sweet time. Lean on Venus to help beautify your space and contemplate what you want to bring to fruition on the Piscean full moon in September. It might feel awkward to dream since Sags are truth-seekers, but your natural optimism will guide you through.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Get ready for the dreams. They’re going to be wild. But with the new moon centering in your third house of communication, you’ll be able to translate those dreams into words. Your dreams might lead you to call someone special for an important conversation, or your dreams could be spelling out exactly how you need to proceed in your career or other vital area.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
It’s all about money, honey. The new moon in your second house invites you to dream big and manifest abundance and prosperity. Give yourself permission to be over-the-top with your desires. Write down some money mantras and say them aloud each morning and night. You’ll reap big rewards come September’s full moon in Pisces.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Dear Pisces, you are exalted in this new moon. Everything in the general overview will be multiplied for you. It might be overwhelming, but you’ve been here before. As you are both looking back on 2020 and into what is to come, be easy with yourself, little fishy. Release what you need to. There’s no need to manifest. What will be, will be. This is the beginning of a new cycle for you, so embrace your inner-self and revel in your joy.
