Moon into Pisces: Deep Space

Sunday morning through Tuesday evening

The Moon has now entered Pisces, sign of cosmic connections, clouds of confusion, or possibly both––it's tricky to tell where we are with Pisces, and never more so than when everything else seems to be changing.

The Moon nestles now between Neptune and Chiron, Neptune in late Aquarius and Chiron in early Pisces. Both Neptune and Chiron are retrograde, moving pack through territory covered earlier. The Moon, still bright in the first days after the Aquarian Full Moon, lights a path through this intense but foggy territory of dreams, visions, wounding and healing.

Sunday evening, the Moon sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, embracing the soul-deep transformations Pluto offers. In the early hours of Monday, the Moon sextiles Jupiter in Taurus on the other side, stepping into Jupiter's nurturing embrace.

This expansive contact with Jupiter in the Moon's last classical aspect in Pisces, leaving her with a long void-of-course time lasting until she burns into Aries on Tuesday just after 8pm EDT. So plan for the beginning of your week to include more wrapping up loose ends from old projects than beginning new ones, and taking time for reflection as Mercury continues retrograde.

The Moon will meet other planets during her void time: On Monday afternoon, a quincunx (the 150 degree angle that calls for active adjustments) with Saturn points to difficulties focusing and getting things done while the Moon is floating through Piscean waters. Tuesday morning brings a set of quincunxes (quincunxi?) with Mercury, the Sun and Venus traveling together in Leo––again emphasizing the energy it might take to express ourselves passionately and directly during this transit.

These next days, as the Moon swims through Pisces, create a space for sanctuary, write, dream, listen for intuitive messages carried in the wind, and look within.
