Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, this New Moon is an important time to begin focusing on dreams, intuition, feelings of nostalgia, and possible psychic influences.  This is an important time to work on the brow and crown chakras.  Doing so will enhance clearer insights while making connections to neutral realms.  Be open to seeing things from a different perspective.

Feeling charitable?  Now is the time to act on  your philanthropic efforts to yield optimal success.  Donate to your time. Donate your efforts.  Donate money.  Do something.  

Pisces is represented by the element Water & ruled by Planet Neptune.  
If possible, spend time near the Ocean or connect with a natural body of water.  


If you are unable to get in touch with water, consider taking action to protect the water.

New Moon in Pisces

I give you this reading a few days early because the Pisces New Moon is a powerful time for manifesting intentions for inward growth, especially regarding acceptance.  

I want to give you an overview and some suggestions to prepare yourself to make the most out of this Moon energy.  With that said…...Now is an important time to start connecting to the neutral realms through your crown chakra and also enhance sight through the third eye, or brow chakra.  It is important be consciously aware of the thoughts that enter your mind.  Thoughts play a powerful role in health and well-being, therefore establishing a positive attitude will bring endless benefits.  Meditation and daydreaming is suggested to expand the mind.  One possible topic to meditate on includes the afterlife.    


Under this New Moon it is important to implement a practice of acceptance.  This can be done by welcoming the unexpected into your life.  In welcoming the unknown without bias or judgment, you begin to learn to surrender and release that which no longer serves your greater good.   Practice in mindfulness meditation is suggested to aid this experience.  


Physical disturbances to be cautious of during this time: digestion issues and the lower stomach.  


Affirmations

I release which no longer serves my higher path.

I open to guidance, insight, assistance from my guides, inner teachings, and Angels.

I ask to be shown my part in helping and assisting others.

I unconditionally love myself and others.

Suggestions:

Whether it be sitting on the boardwalk, on the sand, or feet in the Ocean-find a way to connect with the water this weekend.  I stress the Ocean because Neptune is God of the Sea, but any fresh water will do just fine.  Treat yourself to foods from fresh water, preferably local, under the Pisces New Moon. Albacore tuna, salmon, oysters, sardines, trout, and seaweeds are just a few seafood options to consider when planning your meals for the next few days.   

If at the Ocean, find a few minutes to meditate with the waves.  For every thought that enters your mind, welcome it as the wave crashes on land.  Just as quickly as it enters your mind and the shoreline, watch as the wave retracts back to sea.  In that moment let your thoughts leave your mind and retract back to sea with the waves.  The Ocean needs your thoughts, your worries, your concerns.  The Ocean is always there to take your burdens and wash away what no longer serves your higher purpose.  The sea serves as a reminder that it is okay to let go into the unknown.  You can use this practice at home while envisioning the waves reflective of your thoughts.
