MOON ENTERS PISCES at 6:12am EDT on Thursday, March 15 and remains here until Saturday, March 17 at 9:12am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Conjunct Sun in Pisces. NEW MOON EXACT at 9:12am on Saturday at 26º Pisces. With this New Moon in Pisces, we arrive at the end of the zodiacal cycle - an interesting paradox since the New Moon is the time for New Beginnings. The paradox maintains the integrity of polarity and asserts the validity of both ends of the axis. It is the essence of astrology, our goal being to manifest the alchemical phenomenon of
conjunctio, or the Sacred Marriage of Opposites. Ruled by
Neptune, The Pisces/Neptune archetype carries what I like to call 'the urge to merge.' Neptune is the Great Dissolver, eliminating boundaries to
create what we imagine to be the Cosmic Sea of Consciousness or total
Unity. 'All is One and One is All' is his motto. This sense of
unification would be considered the most optimum expression of this
principle. As the Higher Resonance of Venus, it symbolizes a Higher
Divine Love; Art, Music, Poetry, Film, Photography. The least optimum
expression of this archetype would be Boundary Issues - no sense of
them; Illusion, Deception. The line between Reality and Illusion for
Pisces/Neptune is very thin. It represents the stuff of dreamscape: night visions and movies. This current Pisces New Moon offers the
opportunity for an experience of the Divine. It reflects the creative Visionary.
All art forms can offer us transcendent moments in which the shift of
perception might endure. Be cautious of the idealism and romantic
rose-colored glasses effect Neptune can reflect.
We can also experience Confusion. Where little delineation exists we might feel an amorphous sense of self - which can range from Bliss to Identity Crisis. If we get reality
checks before embarking on new projects or relationships and make our
boundaries and definitions as clear as possible, it's likely that actions initiated
during this Moon period - especially of the artistic and spiritual variety - will have EXCELLENT resolutions.
PISCES SCENE: Mulholland Drive, 2001; Director: David Lynch. Lynch, of Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks and The Elephant Man fame, is the master of the narrative bizarre; illusion and reality merge then seem to trade places. Naomi Watts (Betty) and Laura Harring (Rita) lead the cast as two beautiful young women walking through a dreamscape in LA. Betty is a starstruck new arrival to the city of angels and mysterious Rita has just escaped murder through car-accident on her way to Mulholland Drive. As a result of her trauma Rita develops amnesia. She encounters Betty by wandering onto the property where she's house-sitting and becomes dependent on her new friend to Nancy Drew her way to find her lost identity. The pair of sleuths begin as archetypally dark and light opposites but by the end of the second act, when Rita dons a blonde wig, the two seem to merge and begin to trade places. This is a Piscean piece of cinema beyond compare, and while we're not so sure how the story ends for the lead characters, the film itself has an excellent resolution! Indeed, the BBC has recently voted it the Best Film of the 21st Century.
