This weekend’s New Moon in Pisces invites us to slow down amid the pre-Spring chaos and dive into the ocean within for attunement and inner guidance. It is a time to practise surrendering in trust to the Divine rhythms of the Universe, releasing any of our old beliefs and emotions which are no longer needed.

As we finally begin to approach the joys of Spring – sunshine! daffodils! maybe even rabbits! – the vast currents of Pisces season can threaten to overwhelm us. Simultaneously confusing, emotionally involving and distracting, the current skies can have you vacillating on crucial decisions and engagements and deeply questioning your purposes, your dreams and your gut instincts. 

That, or you might find yourself checking out completely in favour of escapism via binge-watching reality TV or playing video games. No judgement here! The point is that the desire for transcendence is strong.

This New Moon is a firm reality check: in the sense that it asks us to look at how we create our own reality through the stories we tell ourselves and what we believe we are capable of.

Consider the saying, ‘what you are seeking, is also seeking you’. How does it feel in your body when you believe you are unworthy of your dreams? Take a moment to sit with that feeling, and see if it changes as you focus on it. It probably will – emotions are energy and they like to move! 

Pisces is associated with the feet and with creativity, so a little moving meditation (see below), ecstatic dance or watercolour painting can be a beautiful way to release and express any stuck feelings.

Pisces is associated with water and is all about finding the balance between flowing with the emotional tides, and courageous deep-diving. But it is just as important to return to the surface. This moon provides fresh affirmation. It is a reminder that you are supported, not drifting out in the vast ocean alone, but always protected by your team of guides, your soul family, your ancestors and loved ones. 

Recognising the deep spirituality of practical actions such as calling a friend, attending a meeting or taking time for your yoga practice can strengthen your sense of being held by the Universe at this time.

Allow yourself to journey and connect to the Divine wisdom within. You will return to the surface with an abundance of treasure.  

How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you during this Pisces New Moon:

At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the lunar cycles and solar seasons teaches techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle.  This New Moon in Pisces is the perfect time to release old emotions, stories and beliefs, and connect to spiritual guidance.  

For many years I have used a mantra when I am walking. It is a powerful mantra to connect with the awesomeness that is life itself. 

In this meditation, we establish an inner flow by circulating the breath energy through the chakras and internally repeating the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. 

With this practice, we release deeply-held tension and allow our creative energy to flow. 

Tension includes anything that obstructs the flow of energy and creates resistance. It can be physical, emotional, or mental. 

We unknowingly build walls of stress, fear, and judgment that deny us access to our own hearts. Through this practice we can release these deeply held tensions and return to a state of flow, remembering the absolute abundance and unimaginable possibility that wants to be expressed through us. 

This walking meditation practice can support your grounded connection to the Earth through your feet at the Pisces New Moon. And also offers the opportunity to release old patterns and beliefs, dreaming new possibilities into creation from a grounded foundation. 

In love & flow,
