The Moon enters Pisces overnight tonight, in the wee hours of Monday, and will join Neptune about dawn. This night of visionary dreaming opens a Moon transit through this last sign of the zodiac in which we're likely to experience Pisces energy in intense ways, rather like one last slow dive before we touch bottom, turn, and push upwards to the surface.

dreams and reverie

On Monday, the Moon will also conjunct Chiron, the wounded teacher who leads toward healing.

There's also a sextile to Pluto the alchemist, determined to remake anything within us that is not yet gold.

Meanwhile, there are edgy and challenging aspects to the Fire and Air planets: Uranus, the North Node and Venus in Gemini. This Piscean Moon needs time for meditation and reverie, and is uncomfortable with rushing.

Mercury enters fiery Aries Monday afternoon, a signal that the energies of the cosmos are shifting into a higher gear. Still, this Moon will not be hurried. We're in the last days of the waning Moon.

Tuesday, the only aspect is a flowing trine between the Pisces Moon and Jupiter in slow and peaceful Taurus. This is the Moon's last classical aspect in Pisces and opens a long void of course time that extends into Wednesday. Again, the Moon says: Soon, but not yet, not yet.

Wednesday morning brings edgy connections between the Moon and Saturn, and the Moon and the Sun. Then, just before noon, the Moon enters Aries and the tide turns. I've included the rest of Wednesday's aspects, to show the dramatic shift in energy as the Moon joins Mercury and later Uranus, setting the world aflame.

With this Pisces Moon, we reflect, dream, meditate, perhaps drift a bit. We can already feel the coming shift and revel in these last days of floating in Pisces' ocean.
