New Moon in Pisces

Spread the love

This Amabasya culminates on April 11th at 7:30 pm PST in the sign of Pisces and the lunar house of Revati.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and represents endings and completion.  It also represents our subconscious and the vast expanse of the imaginative and intuitive.  

For this New Moon, the Sun, the Moon and Mercury are all in Pisces in the last degrees in the lunar house of Revati.  Revati’s energy is also of transition, its deity Pushan is the one who carries souls from the land of the living to the land of the dead.  Revati is also connected with prosperity and safe travelling.  Also connected with nourishment, Revati reminds us to be aware of our diet and moderate our attachment to food.  New Moons are good days to fast for most people, so perhaps a fast is in order today.

Mercury is in its debilitation sign in Pisces, meaning it is weakened and Mercury’s nature of clear and intellectual communication is compromised.  Here we may tend to be verbose or express ourselves in a less linear way that lacks logical order.  In itself is it simply a more imaginative way of expression, but it can also tend to less clear speech and misunderstandings, especially when it is connected to this New Moon energy,  Remember that Moon and Mercury are our two planets of mind, and both have issues at the moment.

That being said, there is some astrological hopefulness in the air! 

On April 5th Jupiter moved out of its debilitation sign of Capricorn, where he was conjunct Saturn and aspected by Rahu.  Jupiter will stay in Aquarius until mid September, then briefly retrograde into Capricorn again from September 13-November 30th, after which he returns to Aquarius.  These dates are important because this September to November window can give us setbacks, but they should be brief.

Jupiter is our planet of the greatest blessings and was not able to deliver the goods in this placement in Capricorn and with this malefic influence over this past year.  In fact many world predictive astrologers mark this placement of Jupiter as one of the major factors in Covid, the other important planet being Saturn.  

In any case Jupiter in Aquarius can again feel expansive.  This is a good placement for wealth and achieving our goals.  As Jupiter is a planet of connectivity and Aquarius is associated with groups, we may feel this expansiveness helps us to return to connection with people again.  In person or online, it can be a very good time for networking.  Though this is essentially a positive transit, how positive it will be for you is of course dependent on your own chart.

In a few days Sun will move into Aries, marking the beginning of the new year in some calendars.  Sun is our most regular planet and many systems of time are based on Sun’s movement. 

This month’s New Moon marks the month of Chaitra, which begins the nine night spring Durga celebration, also known as Basant Navaratri. 

Chaitra is my birthday month according to the lunar calendar.  While our solar birthdays are fixed dates, our lunar birthdays will change up to a couple weeks according to the moon’s phase.  If you’re interested to know yours remember to ask me in your next session, or in your birthday month.  I always offer a discounted reading in your birthday month.  If you mention this message I’ll give you a discount through my birthday month of April as well!

Love and Blessings,

Mrinmoyee is in a long term love affair with Mother India, the land of her spiritual birth. She has lived primarily in India for the last 2 decades, and while she appreciates most all aspects of the culture, Vedic Astrology, Meditation, and Devotional pactices have been her primary focus.

Having grown up on the East coast of the United States, she deeply sees the need for the Vedic sciences in the modern Western life. She lived for 10 years in an Indian Buddhist spiritual community in North India where meditation and seva (service) were the foundations of her practice. Here she experienced the traditional teachings passed down through a lineage that is customary in India. As her interest in Vedic Astrology grew it took her to different regions and teachers of India and the US. She has studied Vedic Astrology for the last 10 years, and has given hundreds of readings to people all over the world in the last 5 years.

She offers introductory workshops on Vedic Astrology, and retreats in India. But the main focus of her work is personalized birth chart consultations. She has studied with both traditional and modern teachers, and gives a traditional analysis of the chart combined with a modern, applicable interpretation. While Vedic Astrology is Hindu in its origins, a person need not be following that path to benefit from her readings. Advice on career, relationships, finances, ideal living locations, and spirituality are just some of the areas of life that can be covered in a session.
