This morning’s New Moon in Pisces sets in motion the annual rebirth of our spiritual life. The lunar cycle is one that we experience most predominantly, and it is what shapes the evolution of our emotional body and how we process everything we experience. When we collectively undergo the monthly renewal in this maturation process, we are, however subtly, developing a deeper understanding of ourselves, each other, and how much we need to be there for each other through the unfolding of civilization, society, and humanity. 

Our connection to all that is on the subtle etheric plane of existence is ultimately what we are seeking to immerse ourselves in, even though many of us resist it. How are we breaking down the walls that divide, separate, and imprison us into believing we are in this world alone? The windows of the world not only show us what is out there, they open enough for us to climb out and venture off to discover so much more than we can simply see through them from the inside.

We spend our days anxious, anticipating, expecting, and, more often than not, eventually disappointed that life did not unfold how we had hoped or wanted it to. This is a result of our attachment to desires and fears. For some of us, it is very hard to let go of the control we feel we need to maintain stability, routine, and reliability. And while we must exercise control to maintain some semblance of structure and responsibility in order to survive and thrive, we also must make time to put those frameworks down so we can slip into the everlasting bliss that calls out to us. This is not to endorse escapism through unhealthy means, but quietly removing ourselves from the fray of entanglement and anxiety requires dedication to reconnecting our awareness to the life force that emanates from all existence, starting within our own bodies and through the quintessence of inspiration.

The eventual ingress of Moon into Aries today helps see us off into the wilderness of our individual rebirth and enlightenment. As Moon joins Mercury to sextile Pluto, we are discovering how vast our landscape is when we take our life into our own hands by thinking independently and not codependently. Where exactly do WE want to go, and what exactly do WE want to do? And how exactly do WE want our future to unfold? 

We need to be cautious when proceeding with our journey of rebirth and redemption, however. As is always the case throughout life, there is a need for balance in all we do. On one hand we have the wind at our backs and filling our sails to bless our voyage of individuation, while on the other hand we have a shortsightedness of the impact such a glorious embarkment can have upon our partner or other loved ones who cherish our commitment and dedication to those relationships. How do we balance this dichotomy? With as much grace, communication, transparency, compassion, and faith as possible. We can all do what we love and still love one another. Just temper the flaring potentials indicative of Moon and Mercury in Aries.

As we are making our way through the fold of whatever new beginnings have sprung into our lives, that letting go must encompass our relationships in some way or another. It never hurts to step back to objectively analyze our relationships for any codependency, manipulation, gaslighting, or any other subliminal abuse. Even if we only discover a trace amount of any of these, that is something we would be better off letting go of. In letting go, we can regain a more authentic and sincere sense of faith in the force that pervades. Once we establish this faith, our relationships can liberate us and allow us to better honor and respect each other’s individuality and uniqueness. 

The winds are calling us from multiple directions while we swim in the Piscean seas and sprint across the mesas to wherever it is we are going. There seems to be a pull to let go and escape to the wilderness and a push to strap up our boots and get focused on our destiny that lies ahead. Embracing the power of spirit’s wisdom and poetics with the fierce and zesty wherewithal to take meaningful action is the song and dance of the day.

The firebox is full and ready for full steam ahead down the tracks to where we want to go in life. There can be hints of angst and frustration today, agitating our resolve to take significant action regarding our deepest passions and desires. First, however, we must consider the implications our passions have upon our loved ones, as well as how aligned those passions are with our values and other commitments in life. Is there an important sacrifice we forgot to make? Is there someplace we forgot we needed to go that requires a deep introspective cleansing of our shortcomings and secrets?

Perhaps we should inquire about these things with our vulnerable inner child. Perhaps we should come clean with those especially close to us before we carry on. It’s hard to run with the weight of that pain and suffering, which will only follow us everywhere we go. We can run, but we cannot hide. So, we must scour our attic and basement for anything that will keep us from truly liberating our spirits as we click and clack down the railroad tracks.

The ambiance and beauty of the wilderness is unparalleled. What has more innate purpose and enticing mystery imbued throughout? Today, our foundations are called into focus again. Foundations, by definition, are the underlying principles behind everything we stand for and do in our lives, therefore they dovetail succinctly with our values and all we cherish. It should be no surprise if these principles and values take center stage under the spotlight today. What are we rooting for? What do we stand for? Who do we respect and honor in our lifetime? What are their principles? Are ours the same? How are they different and why?

So much of what we need to establish before building something we love is purpose. What will be the purpose of what we are embarking upon? What is the purpose of its inclusion in the river of life? What is our purpose within that purpose? In the end, our principles, values, beliefs, and resolve are what define the tack we choose to take in life. These are hard truths that must be nurtured if we wish to see any growth and evolution on our voyage.

As we continue to wrestle with our sack full of principles and values, someone just might show up in our driveway, honk their horn, and drive off leaving a stuffed bag of new principles and values for us to think about. It is exciting to change our minds, look at things in completely new ways, and totally redefine the world in which we exist. There are challenges along the way that can unexpectedly spur us toward any of these inclinations, even if those challenges are nearly impossible to overcome. Perhaps the purpose of those challenges is to reframe our outlook and perception.

Though changing our perspective is all well and good, and may even occur this morning in one way or another, we are more likely facing a barrage of stubborn resistance. This resistance, however, could very well be one of those challenges that forces us to stare down our own stubbornness for the sake of awakening to it. Where are we undeniably stuck, even if we resist admitting it? What are we adamantly unwilling to let go of, change, or begin? Perhaps if we harken back to a moment in our past when we made a big change in our lives we just might remember how incredibly rewarding and exhilarating experiences like that can be.

Now that we have established our most valued principles and become more aware of our greatest resistance, we can begin to develop a course of action to apply these awakenings to our lives. This requires, more than anything else, strategic planning, useful information that can help us on our way, and perhaps most importantly advice from those who have come before us through the ice fields of uncertainty. 

Today’s Gemini Moon makes a few hard-hitting aspects that can test our fickleness against our resolve. Do we have the will power? Did we forget to incorporate the values of our loved ones, our friends, our family? Is there a power play going on within our partnership that we are becoming privy to? Might we just throw all caution to the wind and take the giant leap off the cliff? Whatever we determine is strategically best for the implementation of all we love and wish to see happen, we are sure to come face to face with someone or something that holds us back. And while I might normally advise going for it anyway, instead we need to respect that person or event so we can understand what we forgot to do or what we are missing. Trust me, there is a reason for the setback.

The release of tension in today’s aspects allows their very active components to play out significantly. Our thinking becomes more attuned to our pursuit of mastery, and our inspiration to discover new ways of perceiving things is keenly enhanced. The resistance we felt on Thursday has evaporated into purified, intoxicating gumption. We just have to understand that if they come our way, handling feelings today is not going to be easy. We just want to turn that oven off and go out to meet the breeze on our cheeks. 

The mind is fertile and active, our excitement is mounting for the dreams and goals we have established, and what gets in our way can seem more out of our way than not today. We would do well to take advantage of anything that needs figured out, analyzed, planned, implemented, or even advanced and enhanced for the betterment of all. Once we scope out our Saturday for all it could possibly bestow upon us, we can put our jetpacks on and make like Wile E. Coyote. Just watch out for cliffs and roadrunners!
