Pisces New Moon, Mercury Retrograde & Winter Home Stretch

It's bitter cold here in South Portland, Maine today, but wherever you are can you sense and almost see the end of winter! We are four weeks from spring Equinox and so far here in New England, there are no major storms in sight. We really didn't have even one blizzard this winter, so I'm thinking there's March snow coming, which is common after all. Mercury is retrograde, and this is a time for going inward to feel the feelings and envision the future without needing to rush into anything major. Like the plants, we sleep and dream, ready to bloom and re-emerge in our own time. This Mercury retrograde may stir the subconscious and bring old feelings up for forgiveness and healing. On the other side, you feel renewed life force. Take it easy on yourself, and give others their time to process. No major decision making is recommended now, so if it can wait and there's not a pre-March 10th end date, give yourself the gift of time. Minds and emotions are changing and you just might do a complete 180 in your thinking. Maybe you actually do not yet have enough information to know what you want.

Yoga Nidra is enormously helpful  through emotional processes. I'll be at Greener Postures for Yoga Nidra tonight, February 21st 6-7 pm for Yoga Nidra (3rd Fridays at the South Portland studio).
Intro to Yoga Nidra is February 28th at Breathing Room in South Portland. Sign up in advance only.
Full Yoga Nidra Teacher Training will continue through the weekend there. Sign up is also on the website and advance sign up is necessary.

Happy New Moon! Here's your forecast.

Sunday: New Moon in Pisces 10:32 am EST. Pisces Moon time begins at 1:37 am EST and Mercury is retrograde in the sign of the fish as well. Mercury and the Moon combine forces for powerful thoughts and perhaps inspiration. Emotions and thoughts require equal attention. Mars is activating from Capricorn, encouraging 'doing', yet it's important not to act on impulse now, especially where other people are involved and with communication. Words could hurt or have a reverse effect if they're spoken impulsively during this strong Mercury retrograde New Moon. Venus squares Jupiter, raising significant questions about how to grow in relationship as well as how to design or redesign anything from your home to your garden. Take time with these things, and save big decisions for a few weeks out if possible. White is our New Moon color.

Monday: Pisces Moon aligns with Jupiter, softening some of yesterday's conflict whether inner or interpersonal. Work on vision, draw or write your plans, move mindfully. There's not a rush, remind yourself. Neptune meets the Moon to stir imagination and romantic feelings. The Sun aligns with Mars, energizing, and all this happens in Capricorn and Pisces, signs that complement each other in the earth/water elements. Connect to the earth and water around you. Visit beautiful, natural locations and bask in the features of water and land. Wear Blue.

Tuesday: Pisces Moon connects with Pluto and Saturn early, then moves void of course at 9:12 am EST. You may awaken with important priorities on your mind or calendar. A realistic and creative approach is called for. Buy time where you can. Tax stuff is on many minds, but personally I'd rather wait until after the retrograde. Try not to run from emotions or responsibilities this morning. They both need your consideration. Sun and Mercury meet for another VERY retrograde type day. One positive is that people are likely to reconnect, by chance or by plan, and get back in close touch or make amends. Aries Moon 1:47 pm EST can gently get things moving along or into flow. Keep it at a rolling slow retrograde pace. There may be pressure to give answers or decisions. As your astrologer I have to advise that you wait or leave lots of room to change your mind. Maybe is a good word to use these days. Even if it's a very hopeful maybe, it's better than a promise that can't be kept. Today's color is Red.

Wednesday: Aries Moon squares Mars in Capricorn. There's a lot of fire energy in the air, yet the stubborn blocks appear and can cause frustration. Systems and administrative issues, delays and stalemates are some likelihoods. Mercury retrograde aligns with Mars for a whirl of ideas, maybe too much going on in the mind, in some cases lots of excitement. Just go slow, slow, slow. You may be inspired and follow up with your best plans to date, but there's more ahead so keep things flexible and pencil in dates or leave room for edits of all kinds. Wear Yellow.

Thursday: Aries Moon squares 3 planets in methodical Capricorn and I suspect it's going to challenge our productivity, our fears, and our approaches to problems and projects. A lot of patience is required through these squares. Negotiations may be hard due to lack of listening and the urge to push an agenda through. That's just not what's working during Mercury retrograde. Long term rifts could be created. Take it easier. For your love life, Venus and the Moon meet and create excitement around new connections and romances. It's a spring fever feeling. Void Moon time starts 10:24 pm EST. Today's color is Black.

Friday: At 2:30 am the Moon enters Taurus, followed by a meeting with Uranus and sextile to Mercury retrograde. The results include going back to things, maybe by mistake or by surprise. Keep your feet on steady ground, even if you're taken aback this morning. Taurus composure may be required. The other aspects of today involve Uranus, Mercury retro and Mars, and there's activation and about faces, and potential conflict in the air. Save all work and make copies or make sure. Do nothing you suspect you'll regret. For example, don't take chances. In relationships, Venus in Aries favors the new or renewed and Venus squares Pluto so there may be some fears or other shadowy feelings about what's going on between you and another right now. I'm going with Black again as it's a color of protection and absorbs to dissolve. Wear your dark crystals like onyx, hematite and black tourmaline. Stay grounded and steady. Black is our color.

Saturday: Leap Day! Yes, an extra day of winter. Taurus Moon aligns with Neptune and Jupiter for creating, daydreaming, and dates. This can also be a day for abundance. See some rewards of your efforts and enjoy the pleasures of being alive. Green is today's color.
