The new moon in Pisces arrives on the heels of some frictious energy over the weekend. On Saturday, March 9th, Mars in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. Later in the evening, Mercury kicks down the door into Aries. This is dynamic energy that has the potential to bring disruptions, heated exchanges, and breakdowns in communication. Because Uranus is involved - let’s keep the breakthrough on the table.
Before we get too deep, please remember that astrology is not catastrophic or fear based. There are no “good” or “bad” astrology transits, just like there are no “good” or “bad” emotions. Transits are energetic conditions, similar to weather patterns, that invite you into your individual growth.
Sometimes that growth is going to bring you to your edge and other times it will feel more subtle.
Scientifically, friction is the force felt between two objects or surfaces when they slide against one another. This action causes heat. That heat could exist energetically as anger, frustration, conflict, or passion. When there is conflict in a situation or relationship, it’s often labeled as “bad.” Conflict is an unavoidable aspect of life and to some degree creates opportunities for collaboration and problem solving (of course, there are extreme, unsafe conflicts - which we are not referencing here).
The repair that proceeds the conflict can serve as an opportunity to strengthen the connection or a lack of healthy repair can erode the trust of the bond over time. Not all conflict has to happen externally - this could also be an internal conflict you are navigating. If you are unfamiliar with relational repair, I recommend The Gottman Institute as a wonderful reference. Essentially, repair is our ability to return back to or realign within the relationship or yourself. Here’s the thing, sometimes a little friction is necessary to smooth out the rough edges of the surface. Imagine sandpaper shaving away the excess or removing a layer.
Enter the new moon in Pisces. On Sunday, March 10th, at 1:00 AM PT - the Pisces new moon brings a healing salve to any misunderstandings. It’s IV therapy for the soul. This is the final new moon before eclipse season and I highly recommend working with this lunation in your manifestation practices. My feeling is the experiences of this weekend are shaking off the debris to create space for new energy to emerge. Join me for the Pisces New Moon Circle, Sunday morning, at 10 AM PT for guided visualization, astrological discussion, and ritual.
