I have been studying astrology lately, and have been very interested in understanding my moon in Pisces. All my life I have been “an Aries”, which fit but also didn’t, especially around what helped me fill up and feel energized in life. Understanding my moon has validated my tendency to take time to myself on the weekends; to love my friends, but relish time to myself; as well as my insatiable curiosity about the deep and liminal experiences of life.

As we head into Pisces season and Mercury goes into retrograde as well, I feel invited into a ‘trust fall’ into the arms of my inner world and the depths of my own feelings, an invitation to take this time to raise up above all else my relationship with my inner Self, my Heart, my inner Children, my Soul.

For me this means taking pressure off of myself to move forward and instead to lean into the healing waters of Pisces. It means taking care of my body, my energy, and the truth that lives deep inside of me.

This is a time for letting the moon lead us, for facing fears and letting go. This is a time for self-forgiveness. This is a time for leaning into our knowledge and trusting. As I’m writing, I’m reminded of the feeling of being gently moved through water while being held by someone else, so that the water is swirling around but you are held and safe.

What are the things in your life that steady you, help you feel nourished and calm?

How can you be more honoring of your deepest truths, not by taking action but by being with yourself no matter what?

What parts of your life journey do you want to discard because you feel shame or simply want to forget them? How can you accept and honor everywhere you have been so that you can be free for where you are going?
