The Moon is in Aries as I am writing this, just having separated from the Sun after their marriage in a New Moon last Tuesday evening. It happens each and every month, and along with knowing what planets are retrograding, like Mars, that we have been speaking about, it is useful information to have on hand. Why? Because at the New Moon we have the opportunity for a new start.
The coming together of the two luminaries, the Sun representing our purpose and goals meets the Moon, representing our emotional body, which is responsible for the interactions that bring the new purpose into fruition. The new beginning this month was in the sign Pisces. I think one of the problems with people not understanding astrology is that the language we use is not correct. The Sun and Moon are not "in" anything actually.
From our perspective, that is the Earth's, the Moon's orbit around us comes to a position in front of the Sun, which, again from our perspective, is in front of the section of the band of the ecliptic where the constellation Pisces is. (And actually this is no longer astronomically correct-it is no wonder astrologers have such a difficult time convincing people of its validity!!)
Anyway, whatever department of life, or "house" as the Greeks called them, that is governed by the sign Pisces is where the new beginning will be for you. This new beginning reaches culmination at the Full Moon 2 weeks later and then gets integrated into your life and winds down, ready for the next new beginning in the next sign along the ecliptic 2 weeks after that (which will be Aries).
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the wisest and most spiritual of all signs, because it encompasses all the others. It is where we want either to escape to the paradise of our choice, or where we want to help all our suffering fellowmen. Its symbol is the two fishes, representing our dual natures human and divine, held together by a silver cord. Listening to music, composing poetry, doing yoga, swimming in the ocean, meditating, cultivating compassion, philanthropy, getting visions for the future are all appropriate activities now.
We spoke about Pisces a few weeks ago as Neptune has just entered it. So this New Moon has an extra dose of Neptune in it-letting go and letting God is one of the ways I like to think about this time period, especially as Mars is retrograding. And one more bit of advice..do not think that you have missed the boat if you did not start something on Tuesday. In fact it is always best to let the Moon move a little away from the Sun before acting. You have these 2 weeks as the Moon is increasing in light to begin-as the Moon is gaining light each night we humans too are gaining momentum, this month in our spiritual life.
