New Moon Intentions
Pisces – Invoking Unity
Watery Pisces is often called the sign of mysticism and spirituality. While its underlying message of unity and cosmic belonging can be found in experiences of spirit, we enter the realm of Pisces wherever we find an opportunity to transcend our individual labels and ego. Co-ruled by Jupiter and Neptune, Pisces needs dreams, music, and faith; it prefers poetry and feelings over facts. The energy of the New Moon on March 15th can bring idealism and profound vision to an area of our lives that has been weighted down by negativity or cynicism. It can also help us understand our individual suffering from a broader viewpoint. This moon wants us to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others in order to identify with an underlying unity of life. Listen to this part of you to release attachments to illusion and to dream new dreams. Where do you need more reverie in your life?
To tap into the energy of this New Moon, you can create a ritual of writing out intentions and burning them with herbs as offerings, or hanging them on a wall as a reminder throughout the next lunar cycle.
This New Moon, we ask for help and set intentions in the following areas ruled by Pisces:
· Healing for addictions.
· Finding forgiveness for past wounds.
· Releasing tendencies to take on the role of the victim/martyr in relationships.
· Releasing negative thinking.
· Beginning or deepening one’s spiritual practice, such as meditation.
· Inviting in a fresh relationship with the Divine, finding new spiritual awareness.
· Developing acceptance and compassion for self and others.
· Creating time for stress relief, quiet reflection and “down time.”
· Cultivating the imagination, dreams, and psychic abilities.
· Shedding self-delusion, confusion, and damaging fantasies about self and others.
· Healing for feet, lymphatic system or sleep disorders.
Sabian Symbol for 25-26 Pisces: Watching the very thin moon crescent appearing at sunset, different people realize that the time has come to go ahead with their projects. A keen appreciation of the value of individualized responses to any challenge in life. (Dane Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala.)
