SPIRITUAL ENCHANTMENT: PISCES NEW MOON

Pisces is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac, and ruled by the planet Neptune.  

The New Moon on Monday, March 11th will fall in the spiritual, mystic, creative, and sensitive sign of Pisces, at 21 degrees, 3:51 pm, EDT and 12:51 pm, PDT.

This new moon will set us adrift in a dreamlike state upon the misty waters of Neptune, floating toward dream castles, fairy dust, and water lilies.

Let your imagination flow, and dive into parallel worlds of underwater fantasy, mystery, and the magic of illusion!

Meditate, daydream, storytelling, journal, sing, listen to soothing music, compose love letters, read or write poetry, watch fantasy films, perform magic tricks, cat nap, get a foot massage (Pisces rules the feet), take a dip in the ocean, swim with dolphins, enjoy your favorite beverage while floating in a luxurious hot bath of fragrant sea salts.

Reach into the mist of the inner journey, grasp the reigns of Neptune, and allow the waves of grace to inspire and transport you into the dream realm to manifest an outer world of new beginnings.

The Pisces New Moon falls on my MC in Pisces, at 24 degrees and 14 minutes.  This New Moon will enable me to gain public recognition for my efforts and achievements.  Perhaps a new career, position, promotion, or to use current skills to transform my creativity.

Where does the Pisces New Moon fall in your chart, and what does it mean for you?

The Moon card is affiliated with Pisces in the tarot.

Allow the magic and mystery of Pisces to generate seeds of gratitude, appreciation and faith.  Pay attention to your daily fantasies and nightly dreams.  Honor Neptune, ruler of the sea, music, dance, performing arts, films, writing, poetry, painting, and dreams.
