We’ve reached the culmination of a powerful journey. This weekend, we are about to experience the final lunar event of the Astrological Year. While the calendar year officially ended on December 31st, in astrology, the true year begins on March 18th, known as the Spring Equinox 2024. For astrologers, pagans, and witches, this marks the actual beginning of the year, as it coincides with the Sun’s entrance into the sign of Aries. And now, with the New Moon in Pisces, we not only welcome the new season of Spring but also the first eclipse season of 2024!
The Power of the New Moon in Pisces
Taking place on Sunday, March 10th at 1:00 a.m., the New Moon in Pisces harnesses the potent energies of Neptune, the Planet of Magic and Fantasy. It’s nearly impossible to resist the enchanting allure of this lunar event – after all, Neptune has a profound influence on our psyche. This means that not everything we perceive as real truly is, reminding us to exercise discernment in both our communication and actions. On the brighter side, the watery and absorbent nature of this New Moon offers an ideal opportunity for releasing what no longer serves us. If you harbor any fears, illusions, or resentments, this ritual is designed to help you let go.
New Moon in Pisces Ritual
To perform this powerful ritual, gather purple or pink flowers, an image of Neptune (or Poseidon), and a source of water such as a river, pond, lake, or bowl of water.
-
Find a suitable space for your ritual and create a sacred circle by arranging your flowers in a circular formation. As you walk around the circle in a clockwise or circular motion, envision a protective blue bubble cleansing your energy, washing away any negative influences.
-
Once inside the circle, sit in the center and take a few moments to breathe deeply and cleanse your mind.
-
Hold the image of Neptune in your hands and repeat the following mantra: “Neptune, Water God, I offer you the fears and illusions that no longer serve me. I pray you take them away and dissolve them before the new astrological year begins.”
-
One by one, take each flower and infuse it with the energy of what you wish to let go of. Then, cast the flowers into the water as a symbolic act of releasing those burdens.
-
Conclude the ritual with a moment of silence and gratitude, basking in the renewed sense of lightness and clarity that comes from letting go.
Through this ritual, you can embrace the transformative power of the New Moon in Pisces and invite positive change into your life. Allow the energy of Neptune to dissolve your fears and illusions, making space for new beginnings with the arrival of the astrological new year.
Remember, rituals like these offer a chance to connect with deeper meanings and tap into the magic of the universe. So, take this opportunity to release what no longer serves you and embrace the fresh start that awaits us all.
