Dear Friend and Reader:

Saturday, March 1, is the Pisces New Moon, exact at 3:00 am EST — right between Mercury stationing direct and Mars stationing direct and Mars stationing retrograde, at a kind of potent still point or moment of suspension. (View full chart here.) It’s an unusual and perfect moment for some deep Pisces work.

Genevieve Hathaway has interpreted this lunation for each of the 12 Moon signs in her horoscopes below.

To read Genevieve’s horoscopes, it helps to know your Moon sign (where the Moon was at the moment of your birth), which you can find out by entering your birth data into Serennu.com. Often you can still get accurate Moon sign info even if you lack your exact birth time. You can also read these horoscopes for your Sun and rising signs for additional insight.

This Pisces New Moon puts the Sun and Moon right between Neptune and Chiron, conjunct them both (though slightly closer to Chiron). This placement offers some beautiful potential: your conscious awareness and intuition in harmony with each other and able to draw on both the creative, visionary potential of Neptune and the focusing, healing capabilities of Chiron.

True, you might feel instead like you’re ‘operating under the influence’ of Neptune’s less helpful qualities (delusion, denial, dishonesty) — in which case, Chiron’s ‘wake-up call’ could be a rude one. The thing to remember about Chiron, however, is that in any healing crisis it initiates, the emphasis is always on the ‘healing’ part. And in Pisces we’re swimming in an ocean big enough and deep enough to accept whatever emotional runoff you need to release.

Pisces is also a sign marked by deeply creative, spiritual and intuitive energy. New Moons in Pisces are particularly fertile events for creative visioning as you take spiritual stock of the past astrological year and prepare your inner self for the next one (which begins with Aries).

This New Moon is also exactly trine retrograde Jupiter in Cancer (which stations direct less than a week later). Sun and Moon trine Jupiter are all about receiving blessings, success and good health, and faith in yourself. It may be that you feel these things internally more than you experience them externally, but sometimes that’s all we need to turn a corner in life and set something new — and really good — in motion for ourselves.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

Pisces New Moon Moonshine Horoscopes | By Genevieve Hathaway

Aries (March 20-April 19) — You are connecting the dots between how your structured routines and habits have helped you maintain an emotionally grounded internal state, even when your external world seemed turbulent and unpredictable. I propose that this process of using organization, structure and planned actions to stay emotionally centered is a skill that will benefit many people around you. For you these are natural habits, but for others they take practice and work to integrate into daily life. Notice when someone around you is struggling or feeling off-center emotionally. This is an invitation to share your knowledge. Your use of habits and patterns is something you can teach to those around you — helping them learn this useful technique to build structures and patterns in their own lives that support a balanced emotional center. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — You are re-evaluating who and what is in your life — specifically the groups and individuals that comprise your larger network. This inquiry may come with sensations of uncertainty or a pullback from those activities and individuals to whom you give your time. I suggest moving with the energy and taking time to reflect on which groups you are a part of and why. As you consider changes to your larger network I suggest viewing your dynamic with groups as a two-way street. It’s not just what they do for you, but what you are able to do for them. How you contribute is an important component for you to feel connected to people and the groups you are part of. Look for symbiotic relationships where you can make a difference, and in turn that difference will help you feel a large sense of meaningful existence. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Information is shaking loose regarding an overall picture of your career trajectory over the past few years. What you are gaining insight into are the ways in which you have found solutions for a number of important, quickly changing work situations. You have drawn on your personal resources and skills to move with these changes, creatively working and reworking what arose to develop unique solutions. You created a back door to slip through that not everyone around you saw as possible. As a few situations in your work life seem delayed or off-track, you have everything you need at your disposal to reach the end result you desire. I suggest taking a page from your old playbook and again look to create an unusual, creative solution. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Lately, it may seem like a lively debate is going on inside of you — like a room of professors are discussing a variety of ideas. At times many of these concepts feel quite foreign to you. This may come with the feeling like there is a cacophony of noise inside of you rather than a clear, focused mental and emotional state. Many of these different voices are the concepts that have been passed down through your family line. This week’s New Moon is cutting through that noise like a laser beam, focusing on your authentic inner voice. Take note of the new beliefs that come to the forefront of your consciousness and how they resonate in alignment with your internal self. They are laying the framework for a belief system that is based on you and your authentic needs, desires and values. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — You are working through a reassessment of how you approach other people’s resources to which you have access — including other people’s time, money, network and personal property. Think of this inner block in terms of the feelings it brings — guilt, shame, doubt. In the past, an emotional block may have made it difficult for you to ask for these resources. I suggest working from the position that by asking for what you want and need you are opening up space for others to form a deeper connection with you by participating through sharing resources. I suggest not giving the ‘yes or no’ for the other person, rather state what you need and let them respond. Many people around you are looking to participate further in your life; trust that they will show up and share what they can. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — This week’s New Moon takes place in Pisces, opposite your Moon sign, highlighting your close relationships. You are in a moment that may feel like a blank slate, as though space has opened up for you to build new patterns in terms of the dynamic between you and your partner. These patterns start with you and how you respond within the context of the partnership. As you consider how you wish to restructure your relationships, I suggest reviewing how you’ve engaged in the past with close partners — looking for patterns and habits that were unconscious responses. Recognizing them will help you make conscious decisions to do things differently, starting now. These conscious decisions over time build new patterns based on awareness and authentic desire. Ultimately, you are moving closer to relationships that support both you and your partners. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Your dreams are helping you work through much inner material. Dreams are a tool for our psyche to process and heal emotional material. They provide a door into your internal realm, a chance to walk through your inner landscape in a manner that provides a perspective different from when you are awake. Your dreams are particularly potent now, containing much in the way of useful information surrounding deep emotional material. What you are accessing does not just apply to your current lifetime, but goes back many generations. You are working through this material and integrating the healing into your emotional framework. If this process seems to take more of your energy, I suggest giving yourself the time for extra sleep and rest. Ultimately, you are healing to a place of greater emotional wellbeing and grounding. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — A particular doubt may be arising as to your ability to access your creativity fully. A certain problem or challenge has presented regarding an important project, raising questions as to whether you have the creative resources at your disposal to find an innovative solution. Your creativity is a vast, renewable resource. Accessing creativity is only part of a solution; the other part involves a practical strategy and the flexibility to shift and evolve with the changing situation. You know innately how to proceed with this project. As you take the next steps, move forward with intention and a steady vision. Remember, one of your largest resources is your intuition; trust your inner guidance. Part of your living authentically is letting your intuition and your calculated risk-taking help guide you through challenging and complex projects and situations. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — During this Pisces New Moon, I suggest creating a metaphorical room inside of you — a place you can go where you can be completely honest with yourself. It’s an inner space that no one else can access; a place where you can tell yourself your deepest or darkest thoughts, fears, desires and needs. An inner space that is safe to be completely you and to experiment with this concept. There is no denial, doubt or fear in this internal area, just acceptance, curiosity and love. Through what you explore in this sacred space, you are learning a lot about old family patterns that have influenced how it feels to be you. Notice the family themes that present themselves. You are in a position to rewrite these messages, building new emotional patterns based on strong feelings of self-love and acceptance. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — I suggest paying extra attention to what information comes out over the next few weeks, especially the role your environment plays in your feeling centered and balanced on a daily basis. Be honest with yourself about the effect certain aspects of your environment have on you. Only you dictate what is truly around you. Take time to add to your personal space more of what nourishes you, and remove those situations and elements that are distracting or draining. Go as far as making sure you have plenty of creative elements and tools at your disposal. Even if you aren’t a ‘good’ musician, painter or photographer, if you are drawn to a particular art, fill your personal spaces with aspects of that activity. Ultimately, providing plenty of creative avenues that nourish you will build spaces in your environment that provide an authentic feeling of home. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — At times, the feeling of grounded strength in who you are may have felt too slippery to orient on, like it was there one moment and gone the next. This week’s Pisces New Moon is connecting you with a more solid sense of what it means to be ‘you’. Much of the growth work you’ve done over the past few years has helped you get to know parts of yourself in new ways — especially your resilience and dedication to your healing. Note how you felt as you explored new parts of yourself, especially the aspects of yourself that you’ve liked and been proud of. This new shift you’ve experienced is connecting you with feelings of fully owning your existence — you can also think of this as a solid sense of self-worth. — by Genevieve Hathaway

 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Much of your focus has been on your internal experience of life — your focus and energy has been driven inward. At times, this may have brought feelings of being disconnected, or not fully present in your external world. This has been an important process to clear out old material you’ve been healing and create new emotional patterns. The focus on you and your journey has not allowed you to apply your energy to your close personal relationships. This week’s Pisces New Moon is illuminating a bridge from this intense inner focus to your external relationships. It’s opening a door you may not have seen before — a way to involve your relationships as part of your intense inward journey. Ultimately you are making contacting with your holistic nature and finding a creative method to balance all aspects of your life. — by Genevieve Hathaway
