About seven-and-a-half hours or so after Uranus changes signs today, there will be a New Moon in Pisces. If you’ve been feeling on edge lately, or like you’re waiting for something to crest or emerge but you’re not sure what, Uranus finally making its move may offer the shift you’ve been needing. That said, it could still come with a surprise that calls for some flexibility; which, in turn, might be easier to exercise if you can give yourself a little space to feel what’s going on, and to see all your response options.

When the Sun and Moon conjoin in Pisces for the New Moon, they’re also conjunct Neptune and the asteroid Vesta. On one level, this is a reminder of the need to hold space for yourself, and for whatever emerges into your awareness through conscious means (such as external things you encounter) or through your dreams and intuition. What does it mean to “hold space for yourself”? It can be as literal as just giving yourself some dedicated time alone, without distractions (such as your phone), and noticing what thoughts and emotions are present. It might mean something more structured like meditation or a ritual. You can also think of it more figuratively: such as practicing not judging yourself for whatever you’re going through right now.

This could prove especially helpful if you’re feeling the building square between Pluto in Capricorn and Eris in Aries. Yes, it’s necessary to respond to deep, foundational changes — especially the internal kind — with some kind of action. However, creating total chaos is not your only option. Staying in communication with those closest to you about what’s going on should help in that regard. Just be aware that with Mercury retrograde in Pisces (as of yesterday), the emotional tone, energy, or general impression of how you say what you say might convey even more than your words do.

Work patiently toward your next breakthrough. You will get there. What you’re striving to accomplish isn’t the sort of endeavor that can be completed in a week, because it’s the type that’s hard-won and built to endure, rare and precious, and well worth the effort. Along the way, you are re-creating yourself, gaining strength and depth, and growing into the next phase of your life. Keep going.

Written In The Planets

Mercury stations retrograde today in the last degree of Pisces — which is also the final degree of the entire zodiac. All retrogrades tend to imply a phase of review; this Mercury retrograde highlights that theme particularly strongly. There’s an inward emphasis on past emotions and beliefs, and the thought processes and decisions influenced by those emotions and beliefs. The question is: in this busy, hyper-digital, social-media-saturated (and therefore externalized) world, do you remember how to give yourself the time and space to reflect deeply?

Neptune’s conjunction to the asteroid Vesta today (which will also be conjunct tomorrow’s Pisces New Moon) underlines this idea of holding space for yourself, and the beliefs you might have about that. (For example, do you believe you have a right to give that to yourself and set some boundaries around it? Do you believe doing so has value and purpose? Do you feel a sense of purpose in holding space for others to be introspective?) With Uranus entering Taurus tomorrow — and the New Moon a few hours later — giving yourself room to notice what’s new, unusual or compelling could prove especially informative now. Taking your time today — even with basic tasks like writing your to-do list, leaving the house, or driving to work — should help keep hiccups to a minimum, and allow you to make corrections with less stress.
