New moons are quiet— seeds, buried in the soil. I feel this one more than usual. Perhaps it’s because this new moon is in Pisces, the dreamiest of signs. Maybe because Mercury is still here as I write this, approaching Neptune. Whatever the reason, I want to fold in on myself. I want to stay dreaming, hidden in the dark.
This new moon feels looser, wilder than others. To understand the story we have to look at the aspects to the Moon. The aspects she’s separating from tell us what has happened. The aspects she’s about to make tell us what will happen next.
The Moon has been busy. She has gone from a practical, grounded check from Saturn and an electrifying jolt with Uranus. Just after the new moon, she moves toward a dreamy, boundless conjunction with Neptune. It feels like we have gone from an electric heaviness to a sweet slumber.
If there’s a new moon to let art do the talking, this is it. Hopefully, you too find the playlist passing the Pisces vibe check.
Dreams & Praying
These two songs have the heaviness of Saturn in Pisces. Separation, weight, but also accountability come up in both of these songs. Pisces is the sign of Venus’s exaltation: questions of romance and relationships become beautiful art.
If you’re coming into this new moon with a heaviness, I hope these songs can hold it for you.
Confessions Part II
The electricity and surprise of Uranus feels embodied in Usher’s song. After all, this song is sung from the perspective of already having confessed to his partner that he cheated. Uranus can feel like that: it’s the kind of change of that upends the table, or breaks it entirely.
Billie Jean
What’s truth? What’s fantasy? The question as we approach Saturn and Neptune conjunction feel real in this song through the potential paternity claim.
Friday I’m in Love
This song really embodies the romance and murkiness of Pisces. You can’t look deeply at this song to understand it. Pisces knows how to capture a feeling rather than logic. Who better to sing it than a Pisces rising like Phoebe Bridgers?
Whether you feel like cocooning like me or going out dancing, I hope you can enjoy this dreamy new moon.
P.S. Did you find the song that actually discusses a Pisces moon?
