New Moon in Pisces: the Abstract Made Solid

And not only is the abstract made solid, but it is malleable and mouldable before gaining structure - by you. You are the creator, director, and magician of this beautiful energy at the moment.

Pisces has always been significant to me as it is my Ascendant, and I don't remember a time I have felt the energy of the Pisces month so strongly. It is as if every hair on my body is an antenna for information and I am able to absorb it in abstract form and make some kind of structure with it. I know it won't last! But this energy feels like it will be with me for a year or two - it really feels that potent and connected to my soul purpose. For me, it's very much about paving a way forward. And it's incredibly important it's done in your (my) whole truth. It's about what the heart sees and using your heart's beat to forge that path. This can happen very naturally at the moment if you are in "the zone".

For anyone who does not have friendly conjunctions with Pisces, or does not feel the Piscean / Neptune influence at the moment, my advice is to go with the flow of your intuition. Trust in the abstract feelings and thoughts you are having that is creating a "gut instinct" within you. *Bitter herbs (to eat or drink) will help you ground that energy into your gut, too, and help it all flow better: Marigold Flowers (mildly bitter), Dandelion Root, Gentian, Vervain ... these will all help you bring higher consciousness into lower consciousness. This is how we change the world, guys :)

You are not trapped. You are not bound. You are limitless, and while many people don't like to feel limitless (and prefer the security of walls and structure), this Pisces month and New Moon tomorrow (Wednesday, 2nd March) is really pressing you to explore your limitlessness before setting new boundaries. Don't settle - fly. See the things you've always wanted to see and be the things you've always wanted to be. It doesn't matter if it lasts or not, what matters is that you did it and learnt from the experience. Experiences matter more than anything - they make you. And you use your experiences to create the "new you" all the time. This is how we evolve - through experiences.

In one of my recent posts, I talked about how the book The Healing Wisdom of Africa changed my life at the age of around 20. When I read that book, it stirred ancestral and/or past life memories within me. I can't prove that to you (and have no wish or need to), but when that kind of thing happens to you - when you feel it in your bones - you just know. I'm sure you can think of an example of something similar that happened to you.

This also happened with another book I read which came up in conversation today: Return of the Warriors -The Toltec Teachings, by Theun Mares. While I covered these teachings in my shamanic training, they really came alive for me when I read this book (which was recommended by my shamanic teacher). It's that "goosebump moment" when every paragraph you read makes you shiver in nostalgia of something you know, but have forgotten. (For context, I have read a lot of non-fiction books in my life about mysticism, spirituality, and esoterica, and I did not get that "I remember this" feeling with most of them, so it's not exactly common that I feel that way when I read a book.)

I mention these experiences because they are so perfectly portrayed by the Pisces influence: that "abstract knowing". Go into that and trust that the Unknown can, in fact, become known with changes in perspectives and acceptance of experience. Pisces says, these experiences are real for all experiences are real - they are the only thing that can truly influence a soul and change the world. And once you step into what you remember abstractly, you have the opportunity to ground it through you and make it solid - to remember it fully. This then become accessible to others, offering them the opportunity to also remember when they are ready.

I would be a huge mess if I had lived my life ignoring my gut instincts and abstract knowing - I have had so many such instances (most of them not through books). Fully accepting these instincts and knowing as real has allowed me to access parts of myself I would otherwise have locked out. And so I have grown into myself by following my inner guidance and trusting it. It's never led me wrong - it has certainly led me to gruelling challenges which have further tempered how I grow, but not ever led me wrong.

As you consciously acknowledge the New Moon in Pisces, please consider doing what you know is right, despite outside contradictions. It's about what's inside. What is inside will reflect on the outside, yet people see the outside without acknowledging the inside of that reflection - that stage. Why they see what they see in the specific way they see it. As above, so below (the perfect Pisces motto).

There is a commonly mistaken belief that to ground your energy and abstract knowing - your spiritual self - will somehow make it disappear. As if you will be tarnishing it in the harshness of the third dimensional world. This is not so. When you ground yourself and your higher self, you are pulling your higher aspect into the physical form. This then solidifies your worldview in the realm of action where physical things are built and changed. You are now a tool to create, and to manifest change.

So, happy creating and manifesting in this Pisces month and under the Pisces New Moon :)

Bright blessings,
