Waxing Moon in Pisces

Friday morning through Sunday afternoon

Hexagram 51: thunder over thunder

The Moon swam into Pisces early this morning, flowing energy in sextile with Venus who marched into Capricorn late yesterday, and the North Node, also at 0 Capricorn. So, if you woke with dreams about where your relationships and creative life should be going, write them down and make time to work with them. Capricorn rewards work!

A Pisces Moon is generally a dreamy, unfocused time but not this one. Six planets and asteroids in Aquarius, including a Sun-Mars conjunction, are continuing the intense New Moon buzz.

CJ Wright links this New Moon to the I Ching hexagram thunder over thunder, which made me think of the thunder snow reported as part of the recent massive winter storm ... Aquarius is always unusual and unexpected.

This afternoon, the Moon flows energy in sextile with Pluto the transformer, another indication that this is no ordinary Moon transit we're dealing with. We're in the Year of the Rabbit now, but as the first comment to CJ Wright's blog post noted, this is no ordinary bunneh!

With this amount of Aquarian eccentricity and humor around, maybe our intense transformations won't seen quite as difficult. Tomorrow (Saturday), Mercury in Aquarius sextiles Jupiter in Aries, and the Aquarian Sun trines Saturn in Libra ... yes, there's work to be done, but also a tremendous amount of energy to do it, and a willingness to laugh and enjoy the process.

Sunday morning, Aquarian Mars will sextile Saturn, continuing the emphasis on work, leaping ahead, and the unexpected. The Moon will reach the last degrees of Pisces early Sunday afternoon, forming edgy semisextiles to Neptune and Chiron, while joining Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, just before entering her void of course time. 

The Moon strides into Aries at 5:45pm EST Sunday, ready to take on the world.

So, not so much of the dreamy, laid back Pisces Moon this time. Instead, we're in a tremendously energized New Moon phase where seeds are sprouting and bursting into new growth. We remember that life began in the oceans, and experience this Pisces Moon as the matrix from which our new Aquarian selves will rise.
