Now is a season of conserving, reserving and storing, a time of sending the energy to our roots to coil and preserve for the spring—a time of pinpointed focus and release of everything extraneous. So that when we come to the time of growing, producing and extroverting, we have that energy repleted and ready to send out into the world, and into our creative goals and projects.
Full moons are always oppositions, so the moon in Libra sits across the sky—staring down, and reflecting the light—from the sun in Aries. Libra, as the opposite sign from Aries, is deeply concerned with connection and relationship to others. Where Aries is “I am,” Libra is “I balance.” Libra’s focus is on finding balance through connection and compromise to the other. The Libra-Aries axis, then, is about finding balance and integration between an independent individualistic sense of self and a being integrated into an interdependent network.
Pisces is the end of the zodiac, the twelfth house, the final resting place where everything dissolves back into the cosmic ocean. It is the end of the astrological year, the close to the cycle. And Pisces is also the beginning. It is the grave and the womb, the place where energy separates and disintegrates and then recombines to give birth to spring, to the first house, the beginning of the cycle, to the I AM that is Aries season. Aries is our birth; Pisces is the womb that gives birth to us, the mother ocean, and also the place of our death, ego death or physical death. This new moon in Pisces reminds us that every ending is a beginning, every beginning contains an end.
Happy lovely new moon in Aquarius! After so much intense astrology (13 months, and more to come… Saturn/Uranus squares begin next week, whew), PLEASE enjoy the deep joyful breath of this new moon, sharing the day with a conjunction between the two most beneficial planets in the solar system—Venus and Jupiter.
