Lunar Vibes: New Moon in Pisces

By: Lavene Gass

We’re officially in Pisces’ season. On Sunday, February 23, the radiant Moon will be stationed in the constellation of Pisces as it enters the first lunar phase: The New Moon Phase. As the Moon orbits, it goes through eight unique and symbolic phases and passes through each zodiac sign – lasting in each sign for approximately 2 – 2 ½ days. As the glorious Moon gracefully glides through the night’s sky, it has the propensity to adapt to each zodiac sign’s energy.  You too may feel this as well.

Since the New Moon will transit in Pisces on this Sunday, you might notice a spike in intuition and creativity; these are a few of Pisces’ traits. Take advantage of this energy.  

 What is a New Moon?
It’s the first lunar phase, in which the Moon is situated between the Earth and the Sun – making the illuminated side of the Moon not face Earth. Symbolically, a New Moon phase represents new beginnings. To coincide with this, it’s a great time to start a new project, set goals, and or set intentions.

What do you want? Be very specific and create a strategic plan to manifest whatever your heart desires. If you’re into vision boards, this is a great time to get those goals in order by creating a vision board.

Need to clear out your space, get some sage and sage away. This is a time for new beginnings - so clear the air - literally & figuratively.

Remember, Mercury is still in retrograde. Mindfulness is key: pay attention to communication, travel and technology to avoid accidents and/or snafus.

Pisces is a water element and mutable sign (adaptable and associated with transitions). As we approach this New Moon energy, what transitions, if any, are you going through? Or, perhaps, this is a time where you need to transition...
