New Moon in Pisces 26 Pisces 53

6:11 a.m. Pacific Time
17 March 2018

As with all New Moons; both the Sun and Moon are in the same sign, Pisces. So, both the Sun and Moon conjunct Chiron also in Pisces. This casts a very healing energy infused with lots of lavender!! Dreams may be more significant, music and art more easily produced. It can make you more prone to daydreaming and a little sleepy too. Those working on new healing methods may find great inspiration. Remember that Chiron will enter Aries 17 April 2018 providing you with energy to pioneer those new healing methods and blaze a new path. Mars enters Capricorn on this day, joining Saturn and Pluto already there. Look to where Capricorn is in your chart, this house(s) could become quite activated. From a mundane standpoint, initiatives to put new transformation rules and regulations in place to replace those that are antiquated and not serving the public.

Mercury conjunct Venus around this time. News about money or love that gives us some impetus to act. For astronomers, look to the Crescent Moon and look for two bright stars close by it…this is Mercury & Venus (2). Mercury (exactly) and Venus also trine the North Nodes, currently in Leo. News of money or the decision (thought process) to instill new values that help us on our path of destiny (Leo North Nodes). Perhaps some creative venture involving women or beauty that open the path for the collective to move forward on our collective path of destiny. The following weekend 25/26 March we have Venus squaring Pluto. Ouch! Mamma may not be happy! Some secrets (Pluto) in love (Venus) could come to light. But, Venus will also sextile Jupiter (retrograde) at the same time. Fateful meetings of the heart for sure! Or, leaving one love situation and having another more suited turn up as an opportunity – perhaps someone from our past as Jupiter is retrograde in Scorpio (and, the Venus retrograde in November “is” in Scorpio). But could also be an investment made that yields short and long – term results.

Jupiter continues it’s retrograde back through Scorpio. All Scorpios will have to review where they’ve been examining things in there lives from the psychological, sexual and money standpoints. July 10 is when Jupiter will go forward once again. Use this time to consciously make decisions of what needs to go, change and stay. Check to see where Scorpio falls in your chart; it is this area of your life that you’ll continue dredging up what stuff has been stuck for a long time. This is especially relevant to those that have any planets or angles around 13 degrees Scorpio; this is the degree point Jupiter will go forward in July.

Venus will conjunct Uranus 29 March 2018 coloring the Full Moon in Libra on 31 March; can we say “Fireworks”? I’ll talk more about that next time.

Sabian Symbol for 27 degrees Pisces

The Harvest Moon illumines a clear Autumn sky

It’s interesting that the Sabian Symbol talks about the Full Moon and it is the symbolism for this “New” Moon in Pisces. This portends a culmination or ending as all Full Moons do. But, remember endings could just as well be an ending of an unwelcome situation. Autumn suggests the harvest and reaping the crop you planted earlier in the year. Or, your chickens come home to roost!
