So what was that yesterday? Was it Dory the clown fish from “Finding Nemo” chanting, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming?” Or did it sound more like the theme song from “Jaws,” echoing from a barely-remembered dream? Oh, wait – it was just the New Moon in Pisces, midway between Neptune and Chiron. In all seriousness though, depending on your personal astrology and how your life has unfolded thus far, this conjunction of Sun and Moon at the midpoint of two such powerful planets in the zodiac’s ocean may have felt like either of those two ends of the spectrum – or something even cooler.
As noted in the Daily Astrology posts this week, Neptune can be a wonderfully creative influence – or it can represent all manner of illusion and delusion. Chiron, in bringing things into sharp focus, can feel like illumination on the way to healing – or you may find yourself thrown into a crisis as a means to the same end, if previous messages have gone unheeded. For some, all of this activity in Pisces spells rich creativity, spiritual contact and sexual depth all flowing together like a warm bath. For others, the fluidity, inherent contradictions and changeability can be quite stressful.
We’re in a condensed ‘week of Pisces’, currently midway between the Sun’s ingress and conjunction to Neptune and the Sun’s conjunction to Chiron. As we warm up to that capstone, we thought we’d check in with our readers’ experiences of this astrology. (Note: some comments have been lightly edited for punctuation and spelling.)
