Echoing the famous sentiments of Bruce Lee, this deep blue new moon in Pisces says: "be like water." The new moon asks how we might have more compassion for ourselves. What old stories do you hold on to and why? What are you protecting? So often we are afraid of releasing what causes us harm because of dilapidated loyalties, or because we do not know who we will be on the other side of change. This New Moon, with compassion and mercy as deep as the ocean, offers us the ability to restore and repair from our foundation - from our very core. How can we consciously and lovingly work with our pain instead of struggling against it? During this time, let's make a sacred pact with ourselves to create new paths towards our own mending. We can be the cure we've been waiting for.

In order to heal, it is essential to allow flow. Pisces is a master of natural motion, from cute and casual salty laps to terrifying torrential waves. We indeed contain multitudes, all of which deserves own own acknowledgement and understanding. Pisces asks us to loosen our rigid ways of viewing the world, and especially of viewing ourselves. Limberness and gentle ripples of change will allow for powerful energetic shifts and much needed growth, from one phase to the next. Even if it's uncomfortable, it's good news. 

For some at-home new moon magic, try this ritual clearing with a luscious salt soak. Fill you tub, or a foot-soak basin with hot water. As it fills, imagine your own body and spirit being filled with the naturally cleansing energy of water. Ruminate on its divine mystery, remembering that your body itself is mostly made up of this holy substance. Once the water has filled your basin or tub, add a dash of your favorite bath salt. Some of the herbs associated with Pisces are sage and lemon balm (parts of this and this salt blend), which you could include in your tub as either whole herbs or essential oils. As you soak, explore the many corners of your mind, and find what needs to be rightly let go of. As the tub drains, know that the water has captured it all, draining it back to the earths energy to use fresh again.
