Happy New Moon in Pisces - Believe in Yourself!
This Friday, March 4th, the Sun and Moon came together,
at 3:45 PM EST, to create a New Moon in the beautiful water sign of Pisces.
Along with the Sun and Moon,
Mercury, Chiron, Mars, and Uranus are also still in the sign of Pisces.
Pisces is represented by two fish going in opposite directions.
One is swimming upstream, one is swimming downstream.
Below is the Glyph for Pisces. It looks like two mirrors being held together by a string.
Sometimes, it can feel like we are being split in two by our emotions.
In an older Blog on the New Moon in Pisces,
I wrote that, at this time of year,
I hear a great "AAAAAAhhhh" in the Universe,
like we are all taking a collective deep breath,
and releasing it like a huge sigh.
This could be a sigh of relief,
or a it could be a sigh of fear -
"AAGGGGHHH! - I can't take it anymore!"
So, Take a deep breath and let it out.... Let Go and Let God!
Pisces is a Yin, Feminine, Mutable, Water Sign and rules the Oceans -
it can sometimes bring up Oceans of Emotions.
It's statement is "I Believe" and it is connected with Spiritual Groups,
Ashrams, Retreats, and Monasteries.
In the Body, Pisces rules the Feet and the Blood, the Ocean in our Bodies.
Being the final sign of the Zodiac,
and ruling the 12th house of the subconscious mind, and dreams,
Pisces represents the end of the Sun's yearly cycle through the signs.
This is a time of going inside, just before the burst of new life
in the sign of Aries, which starts the Spring,
and the cycle of life starts all over again.
This is a great time to get in touch with the SILENCE -- to truly
"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
During this time of year, it is interesting that we have two very different Celebrations,
both relating to Pisces Issues - the Spirit -- and Spirits, (or Drugs and Alcohol).
One is a night of Spiritual worship, Mahashivaratri,
and the other is the world's most drunken party, Mardi Gras!
Being a mutable sign, Pisces has no boundaries,
so you can either lose yourself in God, or lose yourself in
some kind of addiction, such as Alcohol and Drugs.
Be careful with what you put into your blood at this time.
This last week, on March 2nd, was the
celebration of MAHASHIVARATRI,
the "Night of Shiva" --
a sacred time honoring SHIVA.
He is often seen with a tiny, crescent waxing or waning moon in his hair.
Shiva Nataraj, The Lord of the Dance
Shiva Nataraj (Dancing Shiva) expresses the 5 powers of God:
Creation, Sustenance, Dissolution, Concealment and Grace.
Every thought we have, every manifestation of life
goes through this cycle:
It is created, sustained, dissolved, then hidden,
and finally re-emerges as the Grace of enlightenment.
I have been using the OM NAMAH SHIVAYA mantra for many years.
OM NA-MAH SHI-VA-YA - is Sanskrit for "I Honor The Divinity Within All"
It is called the great 5 syllable mantra - OM plus NA MA SHI VA YA
Here is what Om Namah Shivaya looks like in Sanskrit :
This Mantra is amazing - It encompasses all the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space (Ethers).
OM = The Universal Sound which all sounds emanate from.
NA = Earth
MAH = Water
SHI = Fire
VA = Air
YA = Space - the Ethers
This Mantra truly helps still the Mind.
So, with so many planets in Pisces -
this is a great time for meditation!
The Sign of Pisces relates to Oceans,
whether they be the Oceans of the Earth,
or the Ocean of Consciousness, or GOD.
So, this is a great time to connect with the GOD of your understanding.
The next two weeks will be great for MEDITATION and doing VISION WORK.
Try to get near some bodies of water! Here is another one of my Favorite places :
Center Hill Lake, in Tennessee.
Being in Nature helps you to connect deeply with your Inner Self.
Pisces is connected with the subconscious mind, the Dream World,
Visions, Intuition, and Spiritual Communities such as Monasteries and Ashrams.
Pisces also has to do with imagination. Pisces and the 12th House
are also related to our Deepest Fears,
Addictions, Illusions and Deceptions of Human Consciousness.
Pisces and the 12th House ALSO reveals the Cures for these Dis-Eases -
Through 12-Step programs, Therapy and Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers.
If you cannot get to a waterfall, a lake, or the ocean, then take a hot bath, drink hot tea,
and lose yourself in a good movie. Pisces also relates to losing one's EGO self.
Clear out some clutter and do some Spring Cleaning!
Do rituals that bring you joy - Chant, Burn Incense, Meditate.

The Song I wish to offer for this Blog is based on
St Theresa of Avila's Prayer - "Let Nothing Afright Me" --
from an album my sister Rama and I did many years ago
while living in a meditation ashram, called "Lord, Show Me Your Face".
St. Theresa's Prayer
