Pisces New Moon: Parallel Worlds

By Simone Butler

When I was a kid, we played a storytelling game. “Once there was a girl with blue hair who lived on Mars…” Back and forth a friend and I went. My heroine inevitably ended up at the bottom of the ocean swimming with dolphins and mermaids.

Now that the Sun is in the dreamy, undersea world of Pisces, along with Mars, Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Chiron, again I’m diving into parallel worlds. I’m immersing myself in the steamy realm of magical realism that was 1850s New Orleans, as I conjure a screenplay featuring voodoo priestess Marie Laveau.

Quantum physics has theoretically proven that every possible outcome to every event exists in its own dimension. This means there are huge, perhaps infinite, numbers of universes and alternate realities. So right now, in some other dimension, I could be receiving my Oscar for best original screenplay.

Burt Goldman is a great believer in the power of tapping into the energy of these alternate selves. The 85-year-old spiritual entrepreneur has employed what he calls “quantum jumping” to become a celebrated artist and writer in his golden years. He tells some intriguing stories of people who have visited their parallel selves and come away with inspiration that changed their lives.

One woman cleaned houses for a living, but dreamed of decorating them. Using Goldman’s technique, she went into a meditative state and asked her successful interior decorator self how to make the leap. “Dress up houses for sale,” she was told. She built a mega-business by following that advice—spiffing up bedraggled homes to make them more appealing to buyers.

With so much visionary Pisces energy now afoot, including retrograde Mercury helping us salvage buried dreams and talents, the March 11 Pisces New Moon (12:51 pm PST), is a great time to visit a parallel self and ask for help with manifesting your ideal life. Ask this parallel self for the next step toward creating happiness, wealth or love. You can visit several alternate selves, and see how it feels to be each one. You may discover that the life of a successful urban entrepreneur isn’t all you’d imagined, but that moving to Tahiti to grow exotic fruits really does set your soul free.

Mars charges into Aries the day after the New Moon, soon to be followed by the Sun and Venus on March 20-21. Also, Mercury turns direct on March 17th before dashing into Aries mid-April. We’ll soon have ample opportunity to harness the active, warrior energy and go after our goals in the outer world. Let’s use this inward Pisces New Moon to dream, vision and make sure that where we’re headed is where we really want to go!

Here’s a ritual from my book, Astro Feng Shui: Making Magic in Your Home and Life, to help you tap into your subconscious mind and get a better sense of what feels right for you.

    How Juicy! Marie Laveau is a deliciously intriguing woman. In fact, I have a dear folklorist friend who has published some scholarly work on her. If you have an interest, I can make the connection for you. ( she also treated me to my first astrological reading many decades ago)

      I have a book called Voodoo Queen by Martha Ward, in which she thoroughly researched the life and times of Marie Laveau. That is proving a wealth of info and I think I’ll stick with it right now. But thanks so much for the offer! Cheers, Simone

    Thanks for sharing the story of Burt Goldman. I love the idea of visiting alternate realities and “trying them on”. You have reminded me what I can do with all this Picsean energy that surrounds me, much more useful than feeling like I am drowning in a sea of sorrow.

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.
