New Moon in Pisces, March 11, 2013

The New Moon in Pisces occurs today, March 11 at 3:51 pm EST (7:51 pm GMT), at 21 degrees. New moons signify a new cycle, new beginnings, and rebirth.

This New Moon, along with the Sun (also in Pisces) will highlight the watery Piscean qualities of creativity, sensitivity, and intuition, as well as twelfth house themes of privacy and containment. This New Moon period is the perfect time to examine self-imposed limits you might have. Do you feel like you need to unleash your inner creativity, or perhaps rein it in? Perhaps you find yourself being ruled by your own emotions, and want to change. Because Pisces is also a sign of intuition, you may find yourself experiencing more “gut-feeling” moments, especially if you have planets in Pisces.

Keep in mind also that Mercury is retrograde for another week (until 3/17) and Saturn is retrograde until this summer, so you may find yourself being extra retrospective or reflective of where you’ve come from, where you are currently, and where you’d like to be in the future.
