Wednesday, MARCH 6

A New Moon occurs today in the sign of Pisces, and we are inspired to take a leap of faith, choose to carve out time for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and entertain or share a dream. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This New Moon is extraordinarily creative and imaginative with its conjunction to Neptune, square to Jupiter, and sextile to Mars. We are likely to feel very inspired, but we also check in with reality with Saturn’s sextile to the lunation. Because Mercury just stationed and turned retrograde yesterday, and Uranus changes signs today, there can be some instability or lack of clear judgment with these shifts. It helps that this lunation occurs at the midpoint of Mars and Saturn. Although we may also feel a little stuck, this configuration can help ground us and may give us a sense that we can turn our dreams into reality.

Also today, Uranus enters Taurus. It first entered the sign on May 15th, 2018, and spent less than six months in Taurus before retreating into Aries on November 6th. Now with Uranus in Taurus until 2025-2026, there can be changes to how we enjoy ourselves, what we own, and how we arrange our things. We may be approaching money and personal possessions in a new, exciting way. We’re more financially savvy and progressive in business and practical matters. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable are likely to emerge during this long-term cycle. There may be less inhibition about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Feminist movements grow and metamorphose. Our values may lean more towards the unconventional, or we’re challenging what we previously valued. Potential problems can include seeking freedom and independence by focusing on materialistic pursuits which can be distracting and reactive when it would be more desirable to detach ourselves from some of our attachments to things and seek freedom through so doing.

As well today, the Sun’s annual alignment with Neptune occurs, and we’re extremely sensitive to the moods and undercurrents around us. We make judgments intuitively and instinctually. We may have a hard time defining our actions and our goals, and instead, we seek out other ways of connecting with our dreams. Our morals may be flexible now, as we tend to stretch our usual boundaries. This transit stimulates and enhances spiritual awareness.
