The New Moon in Pisces

As the last step on the continuum of the creative process, Pisces works on several levels -- to bring completion and closure, to tie up loose ends and make way for new beginnings.
It takes spiritual wisdom and emotional depth ... and communicates through art things mere words cannot contain. It speaks the language of the heart and soul. It takes desolation and despair -- the wounds of the spirit, as well as the injuries of emotional and physical havoc ... and restores wholeness and health.
Medicine is the province of Pisces, as is psychotherapy, as are dreams, as is salvation, as are forgiveness and unconditional love. Pisces listens, counsels, accepts, and embraces. In its purest form, Pisces energy is non-judgmental, non-resistant, responsive, vulnerable, accommodating, and undefended.
Pisces is a complex, emotional Water Sign.

It understands a myriad of paradoxes: that life cannot act against itself -- for being immortal, it cannot die; that nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists; that endings are only beginnings in disguise; that change is constant -- and therefore nothing is ever what it seems.
It even contains its own paradox: In its fashion it is the strongest, most resilient of the Zodiac signs -- and yet, in a mundane sense, it can be too fragile for the harshness and brutality of the real world.

Pisces lives in the world of inner sensations, intuition, metaphor, symbolism, greater meaning, fantasy, impression, illusion, essence, and subliminal images. All are valid sources of knowledge carried on the subtle vibrations of thought and "being-ness" ... and yet as present in the "atmosphere" as anything that can be seen, smelled, tasted, heard, or touched.
It works through art forms, meditation, contemplation, visualization, "journeying," dialogues with itself, and dialogues with spirit ... otherwise known as prayer.
It focuses inward, into the channels of the subconscious mind -- where phenomenal amounts of power reside -- but contained in a reality that much of the world, or at least much of our society, would prefer to dismiss as unimportant to non-existent.

It thrives in seclusion and isolation that would be unthinkable for the more social signs. It values privacy. It keeps confidences. It treats life with the tender reverence it deserves. It viscerally understands concepts like Fate and Cosmic Justice -- otherwise known as Karma. It can be selfless to the point of self-sabotage ... and self-destruction, if such a thing were possible.
It dreams -- sometimes to the point of hallucination and psychosis. It preaches tolerance -- and offers it, too. But the balance in Pisces between coherence and chaos is always precarious -- and it can tune into altered states of conscious so completely, it leaves the world of physical reality behind.
If you've always known there was more to Astrology than Sun Sign material and the three line daily horoscope in the newspaper, climb aboard and follow this blog. You'll find a world of wisdom detailing how you were designed to work with life ... and why you are the way you are -- all in quick-to-read, easy-to-digest-and-remember, written-in-plain-English essays that offer plenty of food for thought.
Little by little, I'm doing a set of articles that talks about all the elements in your horoscope and what they have to say about you. If you "know something" about Astrology -- or know something about your chart placements, that will help you get more from this material.
If you don't ... well, this is one place you can learn. We all have to start somewhere ... because we aren't born knowing this stuff. Meanwhile, if you've never seen your horoscope ... and don't have a clue how to work with it, maybe it's time to find out. There are lots of "chart services" on the internet -- some of whom produce decent, readable charts "for free" and some are so awful and confusing that even I can't read them easily -- and I've worked with charts for decades.
One extremely user-friendly chart site is here: AstroLabe. I recommend them if you want a simple, easy-to-read chart. I think they even give a reasonable little interpretive reading of your horoscope as part of the package. You'll need to know your birth information -- day, month, year, time and geographical place. Without all that your chart will have limited accuracy.
Or, if you want to get serious and really talk about this, upvote this post and start a conversation in the comments section sometime in the next six days from the time of publication. We'll go from there depending on what you want to know.
Questions about any of this? -- Upvote this post and talk to me in comments. It's a terrific way to build value for yourself and the community ... and it will give me ideas of what to write about in future posts. Believe me there is lots to say about the way The Sun, The Moon -- and all the other elements in a horoscope, all the other components of Astrology -- work together to interpret you and your story -- and what it all means to the person you've become.
Although sometimes the background pictures in our visual essays support the topic and text, they don't always. Sometimes the connection is clear. Sometimes it's symbolic and subtle. Sometimes, there's no connection at all.
The scenes depict landscapes and natural features, buildings and wildlife. They were chosen because they show something lovely or interesting ... or simply because the photo appealed to me.
Our spectacular and remarkable planet is changing at astonishing speed. Rarely are these changes for the better. Few people seem to know ... or care ... or have the will and power to do anything about this. It may not be long before the world humans have known and lived in for centuries is forever lost. We certainly won't be able to make repairs as fast as we destroyed it.
So a few years ago I began collecting pictures of the way things were ... and still are for now, a record of the beauty we have while it is still ours to love and honor.
The photos here are part of that collection, with sincere thanks to the artists who saw these moments ... and with their cameras ... preserved them. All of us at Enchanted Spirit are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and skill ... and for the added grace, depth and dimension their art brings to ours.

Hi - I enjoyed your writing on Pisces - pretty darn accurate. I was born on the 2nd of March in 1946, so I have had some years during which to observe my Pisces differences. I'm going to go and read Part 1. Thanks - love finding great content. Momz
Interesting. My grandmother's name for herself-- for the grandkids at least -- was Mom-z ... pronounced Momsie. But Mom-z is how I used to write it when I was little. (Not granny or grandma or nana. Momsie.) Her birthday was March 5 -- 1899. I've been thinking about her a lot this month. Your arrival here seems significant somehow. Thank you for stopping by.
That's really cool - glad to have reminded you of her!
I have a nice collection of nature photos. Not related to preserving how things looked as much as to enjoy beautiful things I have seen. Sometimes the change can be good, but mostly it is not. Hopefully we can reduce our impact in intelligent ways.
I have found myself running towards meditation and altered states of mind more frequently, like I need a break from the real world, just for a moment, just to recharge. Thank you for another great review of what is going on 💚
