The Pisces New Moon brings with it a sense of mysticism and divine magic. Pisces is the sign that reminds us that there is another dimension to our existence beyond what we normally consider.
The energy of Pisces teaches us to open our hearts to a wider understanding of the universe. This is where we learn expansive love and human compassion. At the Pisces New Moon, we feel the intangible infinite flow of life connecting us to each other and the entire cosmos.
At 2:05 AM ET, we reach the Pisces New Moon. At each New Moon, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, thus we see no reflected light. The idea of what is coming and what is possible is felt in an intuitive and subjective manner.
At each New Moon plant a metaphorical seed of intent. The seed you plant germinates in the dark reflecting an important development as you move forward. The illumination of this cycle and the growth of the seed you plant now will come into focus at the Virgo Full Moon on March 7th. The longer cycle brings us to the Pisces Full Moon on August 30, 2023. The seed planted now will be illuminated fully at that time. Plant a seed to connect you to the divine within yourself and others.

VENUS ENTERS ARIES – GO AFTER YOUR DESIRES
Since January 26th Venus has been dreamy and content traveling through Pisces. Today at 2:55 AM ET, she enters Aries. Venus is the planet of our values and directs our ability to connect with others and understand what is of value to us. With the shift into Aries, our values awaken and we are ready to take direct action to acquire that which we desire.
With Venus in Aries, we are not interested in what has gone before, it is time to move forward NOW. In the arena of desire, Aries loves the chase and the conquest. Aries is blunt, spontaneous, and direct with a no-nonsense approach. It is time to go after love, money, or whatever it is that seems of the most important to you at this time.

DEEP EMOTIONS – ACTIVATED MIND
Tuesday, February 21, 2023
The Moon continues through the mutable water sign of Pisces today. Take time to work with imagination in a positive manner. Poetry, art, and music are all great outlets for the type of sensitivity that Pisces brings. In relationships with others, engage compassion and allow yourself to model the power of vulnerability.
At 5:22 PM ET, a powerful square aspect is formed between Mercury and Uranus. You may feel a crackling of anxiety and/ or excitement within your mind or in your conversations with others.
You may be restless and it may be difficult to concentrate. Your thoughts move quickly without pausing to develop a deep understanding. The erratic quick flow of unusual or unexpected information may leave you feeling agitated and annoyed. Keep your ears open for new information that can shift the direction of your thoughts.
Focus on intellectual engagement for your activated mind. It may be challenging to keep up with fast-moving innovative and unusual thoughts. Do your best to remain connected to your body. This will keep anxiety at bay.

EXPRESS ENTHUSIASM AND COURAGE
Wednesday, February 22, 2023
By the time you wake this morning, the Moon has left the passive sign of Pisces behind and entered Mars’ favorite sign of Aries. Action is the name of the game. There is a strong desire to start something new and a great deal of strength and courage to proceed into unfamiliar territory.
Aries is the cardinal fire sign, ruled by Mars. With the moon in Aries, our emotions tend to be daring, hot-headed, courageous, and in a hurry.
You may want to try new things and you certainly don’t want anyone getting in the way of whatever you want to do. Spend time on your own today doing physical things like hiking, biking, running, climbing, or dancing. Excess energy is best spent on physical movement.
Due to the moon’s positive conversations with both Venus and Jupiter, we should experience the most positive side of Aries. Seek out ways to be a leader, pioneer, or hero. Each of these archetypes channels enthusiasm, bravery, and physicality. Express enthusiasm and strength.

FACE STRESS – DEVELOP COURAGE
Thursday, February 23, 2023
The moon continues through Aries. The Aries moon provides strong motivation to take whatever actions are needed to push yourself forward.
When we talk about Aries it is important to remember the connection between this cardinal fire sign and stress! The job of Aries is to develop courage. In order to do so we must face stress head-on and without hesitation.
Without a certain about of stress, we may simply sit on the couch with Taurus. Stress forces us to develop the courage necessary to push our lives forward and start something new.
Aries is direct and dynamic. With the moon here you will have plenty of energy to take quick action. It is often a good idea to plan for alone time when the Moon is in Aries. You likely have a short fuse and little patience with others.

LOOK FOR CONTENTMENT & BEAUTY
Friday, February 24, 2023
The Moon enters Taurus at 3:29 AM ET. This shift will change your emotional environment completely. The quick actions and sudden movement of Aries give way to a deep desire for peace, comfort, and serenity. These are the gifts of the fixed earth sign Taurus.
Over the next few days, allow life to slow down as you focus on a search for contentment and simplicity. Attachment to the beauty and comfort of material possessions may take center stage. Remember that true contentment and beauty come from within. Don’t put too much focus on money or materialism.
While the moon passes through this stubborn sign you may find yourself and others resistant to change. It is hard to see things shaken up when you simply want to relax and enjoy the sensual pleasures of life. Make sure you have fresh flowers nearby. Put clean sheets on the bed and create a space of calm beauty. Look for satisfaction in creature comforts and inner calm.

KEEP LIFE SIMPLE
Saturday, February 25, 2023
With the moon in Taurus, your focus rests on creating beauty and opulence in your environment and in your heart. Of all the signs, Taurus holds domain over the body and the senses. Taurus understands the sense of reverence in a walk in the forest, the sound of birds, the wind in the trees, and the crunch of snow underfoot.
When the moon is in Taurus we have the opportunity to deepen our understanding of sensuality, calm, and stability. Create art and fill your house with flowers and beauty. The message is clear: do your best to keep life simple today. Don’t engage in activities that bring stress or complications. Simplicity and beauty are the focus of Taurus’s true desire. Taurus asks that we move slowly and pay attention to sensuality and comfort.
The moon joins with Uranus at 7:24 AM ET, this may offer an unwanted shake-up or stress. Don’t let it derail you. It will pass quickly and you can get about your day.

MAKE IT A FUN AND SOCIAL DAY
Sunday, February 26, 2023
Today begins with the moon still in laidback Taurus forming a square aspect to Saturn at 8:45 AM. If you feel lazy, restricted by others, or simply too tired to make a play, don’t worry, it will pass. Perhaps you are even tired of the need for calm over the past few days. I have heard it said that Taurus is the only sign that can bore itself. There is only so much we can stand of focusing on stability before our minds get anxious. Don’t fret, that story ends this today.
At 10:47 AM ET, the Moon gratefully enters the active and curious sign of Gemini where she is ready to explore light-hearted, chatty, and friendly connections with others. With the Moon in Gemini, gathering information settles your emotions and keeps you feeling connected to others.
