A super new moon makes a larger than life appearance in the sign of Pisces ramping up the energy with its close proximity to earth. This heralds a new beginning in matters centered on verbal and written communication, dissemination of information and links to those in the immediate environment. Spreading the message to a larger audience has the potential to heighten personal recognition in your surroundings or field of expertise. This is especially so for those with a proclivity for the intellectual and strengths that characterize one as an innovator, or someone gifted with ideas, words or rhythm.

Perhaps your role is to think outside of the box to introduce a new idea, radical thought or to actively seek the truth. Some will do this through teaching, writing or public speaking. The energy can showcase those with unusual psychic and occult abilities or stimulate a strong interest in advanced scientific fields, parapsychology, metaphysics and reincarnation. Persons involved in such matters usually know more than they seem to and may be associated with secretive work of some kind or things that go on behind the scenes. Events are likely to revolve around someone with strong Pisces (sun, moon, or rising sign) in the natal chart supported by those with significant Sagittarius placements.

Mercury, the planet of communication sits at the Aries point which suggests that events tied to paperwork, study, writing, travel or ways of gaining knowledge may come to the attention of the public or bring persons unknown into your affairs. This is a good cycle for intellectual activities and the emphasis is on seeking to know and understand, although not necessarily applying or testing the information acquired. You may be in the process of gathering information related to a project or particular field of interest.

Additionally, Mercury conjoins the Part of Increase which can mean an uptick in exchanges, a great deal of movement or gains that come as a result of information. For those who possess the ability to influence others, communication must be clear and concise. Negotiating skills are also paramount and the ability to make your point quickly, easily and clearly can give you an advantage when mediating a dispute or bargaining for what you want. With great strength and determination, the objective is to work from the strongest position that allows you to dominate your field or to support those in power to grow in strength.

Especially curious, your time may be spent reading, writing or studying. In some cases, learning is tedious and demands the recall and memorization of numerous details. If you’ve been hesitant in the past about advancing your education, now would be a good time. In fact, doing so may even bring academic honors or recognition.

Alternatively, your children may encounter opportunities through scholarship or award, or by placing themselves in position for recognition or advancement. They may also be an important means of defining your activities. Concerns may center on building your savings in anticipation of large expenses associated with educating or supporting children. In the positive, relationships with your children can improve at this time or they may require a greater amount of freedom due to school, college or camp or situations which could bring the end of a home or parental cycle.

Increased engagement with others will result in meeting new people, dealings with young people, group discussions and conversations, possible travel and more involvement with relatives and neighbors. The point is not necessarily to build long-lasting friendships, but rather new acquaintances. However, this can also mean constant distractions that prevent you from deep focus or delving beyond superficial information.

In some cases, news or paperwork may be related to situations involving tragedy or misfortune. In the broader scope or mundane, people are told that the end justifies the means, even when the innocent are sacrificed. On a more personal level, while compassionate, you may have little tolerance for weakness or laziness. Unfortunately, this also could signify the end of life–the ending of ones’ life cycle. 

Resurfacing memories can prompt major disclosures, realizations or the awareness that you’ve been lied to , especially when inconsistencies in what you’re told conflict with what you instinctively know to be true. The inability to reconcile the reality of situations may trigger negative emotions, obsessions, compulsions, phobias and extreme anger that defies rational control. In some cases, depression, stress or anxiety may negatively influence your thinking.

Much of the purpose of communication in this cycle Also serves to support financial stability. Putting in extra effort could bring extra income and earnings that have a direct correlation to how actively you’re focused on making money. Perhaps you’re considering a second stream of income through self-employment, or working on commission, in sales or an incentive program that depends on the amount of work you produce. For some, the consideration involves taking a pay cut or whether you’re charging enough for your services. Your decision may be motivated by the desire to have more flexible hours, more free time or because you’re waiting for the future viability of an enterprise.

A few may decide to leave a steady salary in order to pursue something else, especially if the goal is creative expansion. The freedom to express your authentic self holds greater significance and you’ll tend to seek out situations that offer greater latitude and fewer restrictions. The axis of fated events is activated and could signify the end of a professional career cycle due to dissatisfaction that may bring a major career change or a move to another home or class. It may also bring a windfall through its connection to “the millionaire’s degree.” If you’re artistic, creative pursuits provide the opportunity to produce work that is reflective of you, and this is the time to experiment with new techniques and media. For some working in a creative or artistic field, you’ll make more money than usual with your art or craft.

If money is a primary concern, Mars sitting in the house of income indicates you can just as well argue over shared resources and how money is spent. If financially dependent on someone else, you could argue over how funds are distributed. If unemployed, you may project expectations on to a partner resulting in conflicts over perceived mismanagement. With Mars’ propensity to burn (in this case, cash), unable to fulfill your own financial ambitions, the irresponsible impulse is to spend money faster than your provider can make it in order to exert negative financial control. The focus should be on gaining personal power over the choices you make concerning money. This also links to issues of self-worth and the acute awareness of whether you’re respected as you feel you deserve.

For a few, the increase in social activities stimulates the possibility for a love relationship. You may find it easier to take risks, especially in relation to love, fun and romance. Juno is in opposition to Saturn conflating any feelings of being hampered or restricted by a relationship with trouble being spontaneous with a partner. This particularly underscores relationships with people of a different age–you can be especially attracted to youthfulness or concerned about aging and preservation of the relationship. One of you may be conservative in dress, appearance and artistic preferences or overly concerned about what people will think about you based on your appearance. You may be drawn to persons who appear uninhibited and can help you to become free in new areas. Perhaps you consider this to be a spiritual connection and the relationship may or may not include sexual involvement. Nevertheless, you’ll be dealing with issues of monogamy or loyalty to one person. If you’re in a restrictive relationship, you may be seeking to escape with the aid of another.

However, there are secrets–possibly surrounding romance due to sexual projection or satisfaction motivated by ego-identification where over-inflated pride is linked to performance and fulfillment. Negatively, the gratification is fleeting, self-destructive. and negatively impacts self esteem through a sense of desperation.

Juno at odds with Saturn is to blame for the view of a partner as a responsibility, duty or limitation. Naturally, this can cause difficulty adjusting to the responsibilities and roles of a marriage if the tie that binds feels more like a rope around your neck. But the separative inclinations may come from the tendency to link love with inadequacy. In some cases, this is rooted in a lack of the father’s love or affection or the heavy impact of the father’s expression of love and value system.

On the other end of the spectrum is the kind of idealism, romanticism and unrealistic expectations that spell disillusionment in relationship. As a result of deceptions or pretenses, you may experience loneliness and a deep sense of loss in connection with marriage or partnership. Either of you may exhibit vindictive unreliability in response to unresolved issues. The relationship may operate on the expectation of pity and/or victim/savior roles where one of you poses as the victim of the spouse’s behavior and expects others to feel sorry.

The task is to address the need for self love and self acceptance in ways that empower you to rise above personal limitations or restrictive authority figures. This may also entail conscious awareness of decisions that affect mind and body and/or the difficulties of living with a physical or mental challenge. The need may be to cultivate feeling and empathy or face the health problems that develop through repression of feeling–water retention, high blood pressure or a generally low vitality. Until you resolve the problem, you can be too critical and judgmental or may attract people who initially seem optimistic and generous, but eventually start to tear you apart with relentless criticism.

Despite the immense energy of a stellium channeling through the sector of communication, an interception here creates blockages and delays through problems with communication and transportation. It can bring difficulties with education where fact and reason polarizes against philosophical or spiritual concepts and higher mind. For others, it’s the inability to use formal job training and courses of education in any but the most abstract way. Some may need to resolve issues surrounding the roles of siblings, in-laws and grandchildren.

You’re also learning to use restrictions and obligations as constructive tools for accomplishment by effectively using resources. This involves overcoming difficulty in discerning between achievable goals and total fantasy that lead to being easily deceived, by self as well as others. You’re now in a completion phase in preparation to reap the harvest of effort and gather riches and resources. You can’t be passive and must actively seek the outcome desired by using your gifts and building community. Faith and acceptance of guidance allows you to outmaneuver the obstacles, achieve the goal, and realize potential.

The keyword for this cycle is shielding which may suggest attempts at protecting self from unpleasant experiences or preventing others from accessing certain information. Alternatively, you may be using knowledge as a shield against danger, risk or vulnerability. Some are being protectively shielded by a higher power.
