Pisces 2022 Moonth

This new moon offers up an opportunity to either observe and learn or get tossed by the waves. The moon is conjunct Mercury adding to the potential for great confusion during this time. When Mercury (the mind) is combust (behind the Sun) our ego tends to drown out our logic and communication. This moonth I would strongly urge everyone to observe, just take everything in, without jumping to conclusions. Both dispositors (rulers of Pisces)—Jupiter and Neptune—are conjunct in Pisces this new moon. This will increase everyone’s level of empathy and will encourage a desire to sacrifice oneself for each other. Be wary of this, do not be taken advantage of during this time by taking action before understanding all of the facts.

The first quarter moon on April 9th brings a challenge in Gemini which represents our communication, exchange, and things we take for granted. With a grand trine to Jupiter with Neptune and the South Node, the challenge will make it easy to reflect upon the past and will remind us of our empathy for others. Make sure to remember that this cycle is about observation and reflection, not necessarily action.

The full moon on April 16th in Virgo prompts a status check on our intentions for the month. Look to any harvests, or lack thereof, that you see in this area. This is the second full moon in a row that is in Virgo. When this happens, we get a second chance to catch up on things that have fallen by the wayside. This full moon should illuminate those things for you. Keep it in context. Should you act on these things, or just collect the information?

The last quarter moon on April 23rd in Capricorn will show us the long road we have ahead. Now that we have spent this time in observation, collecting information, the reality of it all is beginning to emerge. There is a loose conjunction here with Pluto in Sagittarius, once again highlighting a collective change of perspective. What are you letting go of this moonth? Take the balsamic phase for integration. We have a lot of work ahead of us.

The long term cycle of this new moon will culminate in early October with the full moon in Pisces. Set any long term goals with this in mind. It will provide another opportunity to look to your harvest. What has changed in your life as a result of the observations you collected?
