From the “Moon Lovers” series
by Dana Gerhardt

Knowing the Pisces Moon requires sensitivity. Or a moon-wise friend: this one’s in her garden, wearing a lavender skirt, flowing scarves, and painting a swirl of watercolors against a large canvas. Operatic arias pour from her living room stereo. A lilac bush is swaying with the sound. A vibrant pink rose is looking at you with great interest. “I should know better than to paint on a Pisces moon. The canvas will never dry—but I can’t help myself.” She stops to listen to the tenor’s high note, long and sad. Her eyes tear up. They travel far away, then come back again. “It’s the day for gardening. Whatever you plant now will soak up life force like a sponge. Can’t you tell how juicy and porous the plants are?” She winks. “We’re the same. The smart ones launch their advertising campaigns for we absorb everything. Have a party and we’ll all be drunk in minutes.” She continues painting. You recline in the grass and find yourself meditating effortlessly. You take off your shoes and massage your feet, lovingly, exploring the zones of reflexology. Boundaries dissolve. Just for today: all is one. Every Pisces moon find the rabbit hole that will take you here.

Daily Planner for Today’s Pisces Moon

by April Elliott Kent

Today’s Mood: It’s all good, bro.

Today’s Question: “Where is the love?”

Today’s Gods: Jupiter, the God of Thunder and pretty much the boss of all the other gods. (This explains why Pisces are not really as meek as they’re made out to be.) Also Neptune, the god of the ocean, representing Pisces’ primordial connection with all other beings.

Today’s Guides: fish and fishermen; mystics and priests; poets, painters, and musicmakers; drunks and addicts; your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, the homeless tempest-tossed.

Today’s Wardrobe: Think Stevie Nicks and any male rock singer who wears a feather boa. Lots of gauzy fabrics, velvet, lace, possibly feathers.

Today’s assignments: Just to love, and be loved in return. Oh and maybe some meditation, a nap, a little swimming, some music, and a comforting visit or phone call to a friend in need.

More Pisces Strategies

by Simone Butler

Pisces Moon days are dreamy and emotional. You may feel quite creative, but your imagination can also run away with you. Getting lost in fantasies can be fun – like watching a stirring movie. But try to keep your feet on the ground with important decisions such as making big purchases or choosing a new partner. Today’s mystical states and awareness of subtle energies can sharpen your perceptions and enhance your spiritual powers. For more lunar wisdom, see Simone’s book, Moon Power: Lunar Rituals for Connecting with your Inner Goddess.

 

Are you touching the Moon?

It’s one thing to read about the Moon, but another to tune into her with energetic sensitivity. The first method is mental; the second is sensuous and intuitive (which is of course the preferred way to grasp the Moon). Lunar intuition is a natural ability that can be developed with practice. Developing mine, I was inspired by a friend’s report of spending an idyllic summer in the forest. Nestled in nature, without the chaos of the competing mechanical rhythms, her sensitivity became so refined, she felt it whenever the Moon changed signs.

Nature is everywhere. Even in our concrete and cyber jungles, we can sense her influence. At least once with the Moon in this sign, give yourself a 15-minute luxury of stillness. Quiet your thoughts. Observe the energy—how are things moving? Tune into the texture of the atmosphere floating around you.  Feel its sensation on your skin. Describe what you feel, even if it’s so subtle you think you’re making it up. Over time your sensitivity and discernment will increase. In a month, you sense this sign again.

A water sign Moon, key qualities for Pisces are cool and moist.  Think of cool mist.  Imagine being surrounded by it; it’s drawing into your pores and sinking into the earth, nourishing the roots of all growing things. Train your senses on water’s life-sustaining force.  If there’s ever a time to take a long, luxurious scented bath, it’s during a water sign Moon.  Water can be far more soothing and nourishing now, in ways your senses will slowly start to name.  Touch the leaves of your camellia bush—can you feel how supple they are?  Is your skin softer today?  Water days can help to open intuition; too much water and we might drown in self-indulgence or apathy.

Lunar Reading for Today’s Pisces Moon

moonsigns“Pisces Moon: “A spacey, dreamy time, when people are prone to overindulge in alcohol or drugs. Not good for making decisions or clear thinking, but instead for creativity, music, inspiration, and meditation. Emotions and sentiments run high, as well as concern and empathy for others. Wonderful for ocean visits, swimming, dancing, praying, or wallowing in self-pity.” ~ Donna Cunningham

Astrologers use a variety of house systems, or methods of dividing up the sky into twelve sections. I use the Porphyry house system; another popular house system is Placidus (this is the default on https://astro.com). If the chart I send you looks different from what you are used to seeing, then likely a system other than Porphyry was used. Whole signs, Equal House, Regiomantus, and Campanus are examples of other systems. If you find all of this confusing, do not worry. It is likely not critical to your report.

m  Conjunction:  Like peas in a pod, planets in conjunction tend to come from the same place. They act together, but it’s also hard to tell them apart. This aspect can increase talent, focus, and intensity (“two are better than one”). Or one planet can disappear as the other dominates. Their connection feels so natural, it’s easy to think everyone blends these planetary energies just as you do—but mostly, they don’t!.

p  Sextile:  Planets in sextile are compatible, though without any fireworks. This aspect doesn’t demand your attention. It quietly presents an opportunity. You can join these archetypal forces. Donna Cunningham has called this the “Oh, that!” aspect, because that’s generally what her clients say when she describes their benefits.  To get the most from sextiles you need to actively work them.

q  Square:  Squares are wild and wonderful—but difficult too. The power struggle between these planets was likely defined in your youth, when they were impossibly challenging. People are usually aware of their squares. They force the issues that make you to grow. And that’s their gift. They ensure you learn your lessons. When you rise to the occasion, they bless you with energy, action, and success.

r  Trine:  Michael Munkasey has dubbed this the “goddess aspect” because it’s so lovely. Identifying talents you may have perfected in a previous life, trines can bring you joy. There’s a nice flow of energy between planets in trine. They support and reinforce each another. But without any struggle, you might take them for granted—neither using nor developing their gifts. An unattended trine can sometimes trick you into negative behaviors.

t  Inconjunct/Quincunx:  Your quincunx planets are innately incompatible. Bringing them into harmonious expression requires constant adjustments. This can be stressful, also motivating. You’ve got to keep changing your process, opinions or attitude—which promotes highly creative solutions.

u  Opposition:  They say opposites attract—and planets in opposition are never far from each other, though they’re constantly bickering. You may be triggered into awareness of this aspect by other people who seem to resist or undermine you.  An opposition can make you feel uncertain, insecure, or discontent, until you can accept and see yourself in both energies. Typically people find it easier to identify with one side and project the other onto unsuspecting others in the outer world.
