Powerful energies encourage compassion and intuition to deal with or transcend earthly tribulations by delving into spirituality and oneness. Yet, confusion and delusion may be experienced as well. A spiritual retreat or taking personal time to meditate or contemplate can be quite healing. Send out positive vibrations for peace.

If you wish upon the New Moon (within three days before or after), you have the possibility of fulfillment by the time of the Full Moon. Pisces New Moon wishes relate to: imagination, inner happiness, psychic sensitivity, trust/mystic awareness, spiritual healing, compassion, and releasing helplessness.

A soulful release and unraveling happens at this lunation, with the energies of oceanic Neptune leading the way. The Sun and Moon meet at 2 degrees Pisces, with Neptune nearby. It's truly a divine moment to surrender, when subtle currents soften and dissolve, what's been so seemingly rigid, unresolvable. It's a New Moon for miracles!
It comes in a year when the three biggies -- Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto -- work on us and all of society, through soul deep transformation. In her book, Mysteries of the Dark Moon, Demetra George matches the three to breakup (Uranus), dissolution (Neptune) and renewal (Pluto). On Neptune, God of the Oceans, she writes it's the stage when "cleansing purification and healing occur."
She adds a bit later, "The secret gift of the second stage of transformation symbolized by the Sea God Neptune is that of compassion (a broken heart is an open heart). In order to receive it we must recognize that we can dissolve the artificial boundaries that perpetuate our sense of separateness and heal our fear of isolation by entering into the awareness of the interconnectedness of all that exists."


The Sabian Symbol of the new Moon is Pisces 3: A Petrified Forest, An Eternal Record Of A Life Lived Long Ago. This is quite an evocative Symbol; it speaks of the disposable and the precious, the old and the new and the value of retaining those things that have helped to crystallize life into a shape and form that has meaning, a sense of relevance and longevity, and something that will last into the future. Science emerges from these realms, as these records are held in nature everywhere. As with the rings on a tree, our histories are written. It also relates to issues to do with age, and, no matter how old one is, whether one has 'matured' or 'ossified'.

‘A Petrified Forest’ brings to mind fossils, insects stuck in amber and other remnants of ages past. They are ‘Records’ that have long been around to remind us of how life was in the past, the recent past and perhaps ancient times. Likewise, the achievements of life do not necessarily disappear when we move on, or go through major change or the death of the old. Things continue to exist such as records, memories, art, literature, photographs, letters, emails, etc

.

There may be a need to retrieve, sort through, or go over ‘Records’ from the past in some way. This may be the time to look to these histories or to appreciate their value and relevance to life today.However, memories from the past can freeze up life in the present and hold us in an unmovable state. Sometimes difficult or painful memories from childhoodcan inhibit and stop the processes of new growth in the present. Is the past stopping you from growth or are worries about age freezing you?
