So what was that yesterday? Was it Dory the clown fish from \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d chanting, \u201cJust keep swimming, just keep swimming?\u201d Or did it sound more like the theme song from \u201cJaws,\u201d echoing from a barely-remembered dream? Oh, wait \u2013 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\u2019s ocean may have felt like either of those two ends of the spectrum \u2013 or something even cooler.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Yep -- that New Moon really was right in the middle...<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As noted in the Daily Astrology posts this week, Neptune can be a wonderfully creative influence \u2013 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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in a condensed \u2018week of Pisces\u2019, currently midway between the Sun\u2019s ingress and conjunction to Neptune and the Sun\u2019s conjunction to Chiron. As we warm up to that capstone, we thought we\u2019d check in with our readers\u2019 experiences of this astrology. (Note: some comments have been lightly edited for punctuation and spelling.)<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cThe energy is so potent, portentous, I have no idea how to contain it all or direct it properly. The pitfalls are constant and thankfully, Mars in Virgo is relentlessly reminding me to walk the line, precisely.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cI am either a) delusional, floating on a narcotic cloud of optimism (but not every second!) or b) \u2026 must be a natural endorphin. How beautiful classical music sounds\u2026 the intent and joy. I hope it will sustain.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cTough New Moon for me, this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cI am tuned in and turned on, and have used the process of taking personal responsibility, inventory, and amends to overcome past trauma, drama, and life difficulties again and again. \u2026 So, I am using the current astrology to again \u2018get real\u2019 and look at wtf I am choosing and what the payoffs are, positive AND ookie [sic].\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some intense opportunities these past few days, for my own healing and expression \u2026 I am so grateful for this it\u2019s beyond words. Although, my work is partly in allowing adaptation to occur and to digest the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cFloating on a sea of knowing all the while observing my confidence expand whenever I see and encounter another\u2019s artistry and self assuredness. I cannot help but draw from their artistry and begin emulating it.<\/p>\n

And to quote one of the Eagles songs worming around in my thoughts: \u2018I\u2019ve got a peaceful easy feeling \u2026 \u2019cos I\u2019m already standing, on the ground\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been reading how difficult\/vague\/nebulous this new mini-age of Pisces is for many PW readers. I am wondering if any other Pisces (besides me) are having an easier time with this? I posted the other day about feeling supported and clear about my boundaries and intention — which I\u2019m sure for any other fishes out there, you understand how profound that is\u2026 It\u2019s been a long time coming, but I think things are finally on the up and up for those of us fish, so used to being last!\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Venus, Jupiter, Mars and rising in Sag, lots of Capricorn and a Moon in Gemini, I am finding this shift a bit jarring. With only Neptune in Scorpio to ease the way, it feels as if my \u2018fire\u2019 has been squelched and my earth is now mud. The last couple of days have been an effort in futility as far as getting anything done, almost like I\u2019m slogging through unfamiliar territory and haven\u2019t quite figured out how navigate it yet. Dreams have been similar to the other posts on the blog \u2013 mostly waking and feeling like I missed something really important and if I could just remember\u2026 I would have all the answers. I think. So \u2013 I suppose it\u2019s welcome to the wonderful world of Pisces!\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cNeptune is a strange energy indeed. Like trying to grasp and hold on to a bar of wet psychic soap. I am taking PW\u2019s earlier advice and writing things down. Thank goodness I have! It\u2019s all feeling very liminal. Subliminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cThe waves of feelings in the last week have been intense; contraction and expansion almost moment to moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 I definitely felt extremely poised and supported by the heavens as I cut off a long-term rocky relationship, which caused me a lot of psychological anguish over the past 3 1\/2 years. I was able to see the \u2018matrix\u2019 like Neo, and cut through a lot of BS, that I previously didn\u2019t have the discernment or full confidence to call out — at my compassionate Pisces stellium\u2019s expense.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Pisces is standing center on the middle of the teeter-totter at this time. It\u2019s pleasant here, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

“BUT \u2013 if my waking dream is any indication of current status, this moment is not meant to last, but is the time to break free of restraints that heretofore have appeared to be a safety net of sorts.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t remember the dream in whole, but the waking vision was stark and strong and returned to me even after falling back asleep and dreaming other dreams. Not usual to remember something I\u2019ve \u2018dreamed beyond\u2019 without writing it down.<\/p>\n

“It was simple \u2013 a vehicle of some sort (plane, rocket ship whatever) had emergency, we went down\/evacuated, the parachute on said vehicle brought it to safety \u2013 on a body of water (first it was a swimming pool but then it was an ocean) — but the safety device aka parachute was now the net \u2013 that is, as we came down into the water, it was laying itself down on the water\u2019s surface — with me under it — in order to \u2018survive\u2019 I would need to find my way out from under the parachute.<\/p>\n

Light from above was bright and strong coming through the white cloth of the parachute. But the cloth was large, and the water deep.<\/p>\n

“I woke while swimming; close to finding my way, but not yet free of the parachute.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
