New Moon in Pisces

The new moon in Pisces arrives on February 19 at 11:05 PM PT.

Each month the new moon arrives offering us a special opportunity for a new initiation or beginning to take root. This month, the new moon is at 1º of Pisces, and imbues the atmosphere with a particular ethereal quality. The climate is soft, poetic and otherworldly.

Saturn is closely aligned with this new moon, and Neptune, this new moon's ruler as it governs the sign of Pisces, is hand-in-hand with Venus. Truly a gorgeous combination for manifesting a dream (Neptune) into a reality (Saturn). Wow! 

Saturn gets a bad rap, but really, without Saturn nothing would get accomplished. Saturn offers us form and structure, and teaches us that with consistent effort over time we can make our once seemingly intangible dream a physical reality. 

Neptune and Venus in harmony provide a beautiful atmosphere that is ripe with opportunity for inspiration that you'll find useful when cultivating the vision of your dream in your mind's eye. It's incredibly creative and romantic!

Here are some ideas on how to use this new moon in Pisces:

• Create a vision board for your dream
• Go to a museum or the ballet
• Walk leisurely through a botanical garden
• Ask your crush out on a date
• Purchase a fresh bouquet of flowers to liven up your space
