If new moons are a great time for release then a Pisces new moon is one of the biggest times for release as we prepare to renew. Pisces is the sign most commonly associated with endings before we start afresh. It’s also the sign most connected with the divine.

This new moon happens in the 1st degree of Pisces only a couple of days after the sun moves into Pisces officially marking the start of Pisces season. It’s also conjunct Saturn and so there is a bit of seriousness and sobriety to the tone, but also one of beautiful stillness. Allow yourself to be reflective during this time. Be still and allow some quiet time for letting go.

Joining the sun and moon in Pisces is Venus in the last degree of Pisces sextile to Pluto and still conjunct to Neptune, also in Pisces. It’s a Pisces party for sure and all things Pisces are in focus – dreams, spirituality, empathy, and the like.

Personal internal drives might be very hard to figure out at the time of this new moon. We will need to be looking for the higher purpose in things, connecting more with collective consciousness and less with our egos. Look beyond yourself and reach for the higher self that is you.

As you sit in this new moon energy you may find that random thoughts are triggered. Allow the shocking thoughts to happen but also look for the flash of insight that leads to a breakthrough. These thoughts are likely to be significant – so capture them somehow.

Ultimately Pisces is the sign connected with unconditional love. Let me emphasize UNCONDITIONAL, no conditions. If you’ve been looking for a reset, this is a great one. Forgive yourself and forgive everyone else in the mix.

Key takeaway: Allow the energy of the new moon to release anything trapped in your emotional body. By allowing yourself this release, you allow rejuvenation.

Happy New Moon!

As you’ve probably heard me say before, full moons are times of culmination when something shows up and we are enlightened in some way. This full moon in particular has the potential to bring magic into our everyday lives. It’s a Virgo full moon after all, and Virgo is all about practicality and usefulness.

Pisces energy is strong during the full moon with the Sun, mercury and Neptune all in Pisces and forming a conjunction with each other. Saturn will be joining the Pisces lineup an hour after the exact time of the full moon and adding to this energy as it starts its journey thru that sign for the next few years. It’s all about deep connection with source and being in the flow.

Mars in Gemini instigates a bit during this full moon by squaring the Sun and moon. This will create some tension as we work to integrate the energy and messages of the full moon. Honor the diversity of the perspectives that will come up and allow yourself to shift your mindset. Virgo is perfectionist energy and at its worst it can get stuck in overanalyzing things. I see this square as making sure that doesn’t happen.

Also worth noting is that during the full moon there is a major Aries theme. Jupiter has been in Aries off and on since last year and it completes its final stretch these next couple of months in that sign. At this full moon it is joined by Venus, Chiron and Vesta in Aries. To me this signifies a great opportunity to create a sacred space for yourself as you connect with the divine in your physical form. This is a great time to renew faith and value in yourself and know that you are supported by a benevolent universe in all that you do.

Key takeaway: See how you can bring heaven to earth with this full moon and find comfort in your own skin, knowing that you are a vessel of all that is divine.

Happy Full Moon!

Full Moon in Cancer, Friday January 6th, 6:08pm ET

Happy New Year! We’ve made it to 2023 and the first week in January starts off with an exciting full moon in Cancer, the sign of home and tribe. It’s Capricorn season which is all about work, but with a Cancer moon it’s about balancing public life (Capricorn) and private/family life (Cancer). How are you doing in this area?

Mercury is still retrograde during the full moon, asking us to seriously consider the work/life balance we are creating or not creating. Have you become a workaholic and you’re not tending to the domestic scene, or have you become too much of a homebody and are not getting out into public life to find your way? This full moon event highlights this polarity asking us to think of new ways to balance our lives as we dive into the new year. Be willing to do the work now before we get to far down the road.

Venus just moved into Aquarius this week and Aquarius holds the key to how we might go about doing this. Aquarius is all about innovation and breaking the mold. Are you willing to try something seemingly random and different to break out of your old ways? It’s worth the effort during this time.

With Mercury and Mars still in retrograde until the coming weeks, it’s ok to sit with these ideas for now, but start making plans, as by the end of the month, action will be the name of the game.

And by the way, it’s ok if you feel very naked and vulnerable in this process of balancing your life. Chiron in Aries, prompts us to be our own hero even if we don’t quite believe in ourselves. Just being willing to show up and do the work is important at this time. Lean into your vulnerability and address any gaps in your emotional and material wellbeing, so that you can launch into 2023 with a real sense of security and solidness.

Happy Full Moon!
