The Moon swam into Pisces' cosmic ocean early this morning, while most of us were asleep and dreaming. We do dream, even when we don't remember. With the Pisces Moon, we can ask to connect in dreams with All-that-is, and to wake with remembering of who we are, even if the details of the dream dissolve into mist.

strong roots

Here, I am on the Pacific Ocean, on the Nosara peninsula, an ancient place of celebration. Ancient cliffs reach fingers out into the water, creating shallow bays of sand and rock, sting rays and scorpions, warm, salty, Piscen waters. And so today, we may encounter the warmth of gentle birth, or the sting of a scorpion, if we are unwary.

This Moon is a bit uncomfortable with the fiery arrows of Uranus and the Sun, preferring to bask in the healing waters of Chiron and the nuturing support of Jupiter. Later, though, we seek the scorpion: The Moon and Pluto flow together to create alchemical change.

Thursday, the Moon squares the Nodes of the Moon, walks in beauty with Pisces and opposes Mars. On this day, we remember something important we forgot, perhaps a long time ago--some piece of our larger selves we need to continue walking our path in this life. With Venus, we weave this piece back into the fabric of our lives, even as we ask Mars to wait. This is easy for Mars, actually, now he is retrograde. So, we reflect, we watch, we weave.

Thursday night's connection with Mars marks the last classical aspect of this Piscean Moon, creating a larger space for floating, for resting.

Friday, hmmmm... This day, the energies shift. Mercury in hard-nosed Capricorn challenges Saturn and Neptune. Perhaps we wake from our Piscean dreams with clear knowing of what to do. Today, we know what the next step is. With the Moon making awkward aspects to Saturn and Neptune, we feel a bit unsure, but today, we go with that mind and allow the intellect to speak.

Friday afternoon sparks into action. Mercury lights up in Aquarius, ready to innovate, communicate and electrify. The Moon ignites in Aries, first sign of the zodiac, the birth of Fire within and without.

During these days of the Pisces Moon, we incubate, we flow, we dream. Then, when rebirth comes, we are ready.
