New Moon in Pisces 2025

 


New Moon in Pisces 

The Lesson 

To embrace compassion, and trust in the flow of your spiritual and emotional journey.

The Affirmation 

I embrace the flow of my intuition and allow my dreams to gently guide me toward compassionate and creative expression.

Interpretation 

When the moon is brand new and in the sign of Pisces, it's a time for fresh starts related to your imagination and inner world. You might feel extra creative, dreamy, and inspired. People tend to turn inward during this time. They're more likely to focus on their gut feelings, their imaginations, and what they truly want deep down. You might find yourself thinking deeply about things, or you might want to do things that connect you to your spiritual side. This could mean writing in a journal, setting goals, meditating, exploring things like tarot cards, letting go of old hurts, or simply expressing yourself creatively.

Aspects 

While the New Moon occurs in Pisces, Neptune is conjunct the North Node in Pisces AND opposite the South Node in Virgo. This transit encourages letting go of rigid control and embracing a more spiritual, compassionate, and imaginative life, moving away from perfectionism and over-analysis.

The Power of Eclipses in Your Astrology: A Deeper Look



Solar Eclipse in Aries 

A solar eclipse isn't just a celestial spectacle – in astrology, it signifies a potent moment for fresh starts and significant transformations. But how does this cosmic event translate to your own life?  Let's delve deeper and explore how a solar eclipse can impact you based on your unique astrological blueprint – your natal chart.

Pinpointing the Zone of Change: Natal Chart Placement

Imagine your natal chart as a map of your inherent traits and life path. When a solar eclipse occurs, it lands on a specific degree and sign within this map. This pinpoint location offers valuable clues about the area of your life most likely to be influenced by the eclipse energy.

For example, if the eclipse falls in your 5th house (associated with creativity, love, and self-expression), you might experience a burst of inspiration, a shift in your romantic life, or exciting developments related to children.

The Dance of Planets: Aspects and Their Impact

Now, let's consider the dynamic interactions between the eclipse and other planets and sensitive points in your chart. These interactions, called aspects, reveal the nature of the changes you might face.  Think of them as plot twists in the grand story of your eclipse experience.

Favorable aspects, like trines and sextiles, often usher in opportunities for growth and positive change. Perhaps you receive an unexpected creative spark or find yourself drawn to a new love interest. On the other hand, challenging aspects like squares and oppositions can create tension or roadblocks.  These might involve overcoming creative hurdles, navigating relationship conflicts, or facing challenges related to starting a family.

The Bigger Picture: Understanding the Eclipse Series

Solar eclipses don't occur in isolation. They unfold within a grander scheme known as the Saros series. Each series stretches over centuries and carries recurring themes. By understanding the themes associated with the current Saros series, you gain a broader perspective on the potential long-term effects of the eclipse on your life.

Charting Your Evolution: The Progressed Chart

For an even deeper understanding, consider consulting your progressed chart. This chart reflects the subtle shifts and developments in your natal chart over time. Analyzing how the eclipse aligns with your progressed chart can shed light on how it fits into your ongoing personal growth and evolving life path.

By delving into these layers of astrological interpretation, you can gain a richer understanding of how a solar eclipse might impact your life.  Remember, astrology isn't about predictions set in stone; it's about harnessing cosmic energy for self-awareness and navigating your journey with greater clarity.

The Twelve Houses of Life 

  1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
  2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
  3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
  4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
  5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance.

The New moon in your 11th house also your annual wishing moon

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, are another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. In my own chart, the New Moon at 25° Virgo is separating a conjunction to my Natal Sun. When the New Moon makes a conjunction to your Natal Sun, this is a good time to adopt a new attitude or a new outlook on life. You might want to re-evaluate your relationships now and consider if they are worth continuing or releasing. If they are worth continuing, how might you improve them? Who you are on the inside now more closely resembles who you are on the outside. 

Where does the New Moon in Virgo fall in your natal chart and how will it manifest for you?

New Moon in Gemini 2020





New Moon in Gemini 
5/22/20  10:38 AM (Pacific) 
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon both occupy the same degree of the same sign of the zodiac at the same time. As you can see from the above image the Sun and Moon are in 2° Gemini making this a New Moon. When the moon is in Gemini people feel more like talking about their emotions. They may feel restless, indecisive, and flighty. People are more reflective, though they may have trouble sticking to one subject for any length of time. They are more open to change and they are open-minded about the form such change may take place, but again they will find it difficult to pin things down in a decisive manner. 
The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Gemini to play out. Since the May New Moon occurs in 2° Gemini, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 2° Gemini occurs.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

  1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
  2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
  3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
  4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
  5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance.

  9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
  10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father

Chart Emphasis 

If you look at the chart above you'll notice that all of the planets occupy the left or Eastern side of the chart (in astrology the compass points are reversed). When a majority of planets are in the Eastern side of the chart when can expect people to be more proactive. They are ambitious go getters and self-starters who are self-motivated and prepared to take any risks necessary in order to obtain their goals. People will not wait around for opportunities to come to them but rather they will make their own opportunities and run with them. 

A Practical Example 

New Moon + Gemini + 8th House 
Using our keyword system the new moon in Gemini and the 8th house can translate to I feel the urge to communicate about / I am curious about deep transformation in the area of sex, and shared resources.  With the New Moon in the 8th house you may feel the need to change something about your sex life such as attracting a new lover. You may feel restless and sexually frustrated and go back and fourth about doing anything to find satisfaction. You may waffle on what it is that you want in a lover or if you really want one anyway. 

In addition let us suppose that you have Pluto at 3° Libra in your birth chart, this would mean that the New Moon in 2° Gemini is making a Trine to your Natal Pluto. A trine is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is supportive of the energy or urge of another planet. When the Moon makes a trine to Pluto you feel more powerful, confident, and mysterious. People are attracted to your mystique and you have more sway over them.

You may feel confident about your ability to attract a new relationship (business or personal), though you are not likely to go out on a limb to make it happen for yourself. 

Aspects 

Let us suppose that you have Saturn at 3° Cancer, that would mean that the new Moon is forming a conjunction to your Natal Saturn. A square is a type of hard (difficult) aspect in which the urge of one planet is at odds with the urge of another planet creating tension between them. 

Transit Moon + Square + Natal Saturn 



I Feel + squares off against + I feel 

When the transit Moon squares natal Saturn you feel more vulnerable and are more easily upset, especially regarding any perceived criticism or effort to get you to be more diciplined. Doing anything simply out of a sense of pleasure isn't usually possible during this transit, but it only last few a few days. At any rate you can expect to experience a certain amount of irritability.
