~NEW MOON IN PISCES~
Hello my loves,
Welcome to the New Moon in Pisces, ushering in Pisces season. I have noticed the energies of this moon already and leading into the season as very fluid, very calm, very soothing, taking us out of heady Aquarius and flowing back into our bodies. There is an emphasis on feeling through pure emotion and somatic connection to our-selves and the world around us. I recently went to a dance class run by a beloved friend and there was one dance we did where we expressed our dreams through movement, and my gosh, was it powerful.It awoke something in me so visceral and transformative, which came through like a giant ocean wave. No words were needed to feel into the dreams of those I danced with or my own for that matter, it is a sensation I will never forget...
Piscean dreaming is what I put as the title of this new moon blog, and I feel this season is encouraging just that; reconnecting with our inner dreamscapes which hold all of our desires. Our dreamscape is the place we go for refuge away from the chaos of the external world, but it is also the portal to the dark waters of our unconscious minds, where we store our shadows, trauma and where the spirits of un-healed wounds reside. You may find that some of these past wounds are starting to bubble up to the surface now or make themselves known, allow them to be held and healed by the energy of this moon. Water is healing, soothing, compassionate, regenerative and so we invoke the Piscean spirit to transform these past hurts into sources of inspiration, empowerment and creativity, allowing the pain to be felt and then flow back into the waters of spirit and earth.
This may sound woo-woo enough, but this concept of dreaming and healing goes right back to the time of antiquity! Recently during my studies I read about the Healing temples of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, and how his priest doctors would tend to the mind, body and souls of their patients by inducing them into a dream state where they would receive insights within the dream about what medicine to use to heal their ailments. To me this speaks to the powerful healing that can occurs when we allow ourselves to be submerged into the healing waters of our spiritual subconscious, our innate wisdom to know how to heal ourselves through trusting our intuition and the magick of utilising dreams as a means of guidance for every aspect of our lives.
There is a desire to plunge deep with the Dark Moon in Pisces, to uncover our deepest hidden treasures of our dreamscapes past, much like diving for a lost civilisation of the ancient world. As we undergo this 'deep-sea exploration' we may find ourselves searching for relics that gift us with insights for the path ahead. This may exhibit in our external world as returning back to places we once knew, reconnecting with old friends or participating activities or work we once did, and this might not even be intentional! We are being guided to revisit these things I feel to determine whether they still hold meaning for us and have a place in the new Dreamscape we are visualising.
Lately, I have been feeling rather un-inspired, doubt filled, lost and disconnected from my sense of purpose. This may just be my personal experience but maybe you can relate? Our dreams are calling yet it feels impossible to obtain them, moving two steps forward and ten steps back.In the context of logical Aquarius season this may have caused much frustration, where primary driver of purpose is dictated by how efficiently we can achieve goals and be in service to others. However, the energy of Pisces, is teaching us how to be in flow; feeling into the push and pull of the tidal waves to allow our marine body to again sense the flow of the currents. This is the wisdom of the Pisces New Moon. Safe to say I no longer feel uninspired, in-fact these energies are teaching me how to recognise when something feels aligned with my visions and dreams through following the flow with-out holding a specific expectation of the outcome will unfold.
The sensation of my dreaming has become a guiding force to how I walk my path, and a modality of healing my mind, body and soul. We are being encouraged to fully tap into what our dreamscape looks like at this time and to feel it in your body; perhaps even expressing them physically through song or dance and creative endeavors. How it is channelled for you, take this feeling into your everyday life and allow it to create flow. Ride it like the sea creatures glide along the ocean currents, like the fish in the rivers, the spirits of Pisces along cosmic tides. If you come up against barriers or blocks or times of lull, just remember Water does not mind the objects which fall into the stream, it simply acknowledges it as an element of the journey and flows around it and onwards.
A beautiful practice which might prove insightful for you is to do some Dream Seeding. This is where on goes to bed at night and either with the aid of herbal allies, crystals and petitions or simply by holding an intention in mind, asks spirit to convey through dreams answers for one's own personal journey. You might like to petition like the Priests of Asclepius did, for medicines to help you on your healing journey or simply tap into the somatic expression of your own dreaming through gifted visions. What-ever your intention may be, be sure to have a Dream journal handy for when you wake so you can record all you experience. You might like to do this over the three days the moon moves through Pisces, shifting from Dark to New.
May your dreamscapes flow as the moon flows with the beautiful, serene energies of Pisces.
