New Moon in Pisces

New Moon February 26th

As with all New Moon this symbolizes the planting of new seeds new intentions, this new moon will be in the zodiac sun sign of pisces (it is also a SOLAR ECLIPSE) - 

Through journeying to Mama quilla/ BiBi Karaya (grand mother moon) and mam cocha / Atabey (mother of the waters) they have shared with me that the significance of this new moon is to deepen our spiritual and inner practice. As you know the symbol for pisces is two fish, this represents duality the internal and external, the light and dark, the dual aspect humanity chooses to accept, finding peace and connecting these two sides of self creates peace in our day to day experiences. 
March 1st in christianity is the beginning of Lent a 40 day period used to sacrifice some aspect of our lives in search of a stronger connection to spirit, this new moon assists the energy of Lent but not to sacrifice or give up, but to deepen our practice as Jesus deepened his practice in the wilderness before being tested. The pisces is the last of the zodiac signs and with that in mind it urges us to review the energy of all the signs that came before it, as we prepare our self for the budding and blossoming desires / intentions of spring (vernal equinox March 20th).

This new Moon ceremony instructions below is to help you for the upcoming full moon (march 12/13th Full Crow Moon, those of us in Jamaica have already seen the black birds all over heralding the approach of spring) and the energy that will follow  .

The ceremony is as follows:

1. OPEN SACRED SPACE you can use a prayer or simply set your intentions asking for your higher self/ creator to enter your space and allow all that will be done to work towards the benefit of yourself firstly and all around you.

2. get a bowl with water and a candle or anything that represents Fire Energy

3.place one hand in the bowl and the other above the candle (just to feel the warmth you can also be near a fire or fire place)

Repeat the following words focusing on the water :Atabey / Mama Cocha mother of the waters teach me to ride the waves of life, accepting the lessons in every experience as they groom me towards your glory.

Repeat the following words focusing on the fire: Yocah /InTi- titi great sun (son), spark my passions within me, show me the trail I am to follow shinning my light for all to see.

4.Repeat the following focusing on your heart; Great spirit, may the fire of my passions, the eb and flow of my emotions, and the guidance from great spirit unite all aspects of my being, light and dark, mind and emotions, inward and outward.

5.Focus on your heart and visualise the water and the fire encircling each other within  you, always close but never touching finding your center your peace.

while visualising speak aloud all the things you desire whether they seem contradictory or not, trust that grand mother moon will hear your request and lead you towards a practice that will strengthen your health, love life, clarity and abundance.

6.When you are finished ask Atabey /mama quilla for a word that will help you to tap into the energy of your becoming the healed you...

7.after the ceremony out the fire but keep the water in a jar or cup have it by your bedside while you sleep (cover it if you feel led) each morning until the 12th (full moon) repeat the word you received from Atabey /mama quilla dip a finger in the water and place on your forehead then heart.

New Moon In Pisces Solar Eclipse

March 8th New Moon in Pisces / Solar Eclipse

From Molly's Astrology.com

The New Moon is the beginning of the waxing phase of the Lunar cycle, or the two weeks when the Moon increases in light. We can use the energy of the increasing light of the Moon to plant seeds, both literally and figuratively. We start new projects, buy new things, make new contacts. Things we start in the world outside during this time tend to grow. Farmers use this time to plant above-ground crops.

A Solar eclipse is a very special New Moon. Things that are begun between the eclipse and the next Full Moon (about 2 weeks), seeds we plant, projects we undertake, contacts we make, and intentions we set, take on added significance 6 months down the road.

With the New Moon being in Pisces, this may also represent a sensitive period to the spiritual world. According to Stars Like You:

When the Moon is found in Pisces, your emotions are likely to be pronounced. Pisces is the final sign of The Zodiac, and has much to do with sensitivity – to oneself, to other people, and to the mysterious, unseen forces that shape our world. With the Moon in Pisces, you are likely to be strongly influenced by the compassionate, creative, imaginative, romantic and idealistic aspects of life.

On an instinctive level, you may have a natural affinity with the abstract or intuitive. This affinity can be a blessing, or a curse. The quality of your journey will have much to do with how prepared you are to recognize these sensitivities, and give them the respect that they deserve. You are likely to be able to sense the hidden or energetic levels of life, soaking up atmospheres as if you were a sponge. Your feelings about people and situations are likely to be immediate, accurate and intense. Understanding that your feelings provide valuable information, but can lead you astray sometimes, means that you will need to learn to recognize the difference between an intuitive response to something, and an emotional reaction that is based on your opinion of whatever is going on.

There is also good news, however, according to Crystal B. Astrology, this is a SUPER-super charged New Moon - so follow the emotions as the blessing, not the curse. Focus on what you want...if you ask, you shall receive. However, if you simply just wait/wonder/lament about the things you don't have, the cycle will continue, and more of what you don't want will come to fruition.
