New Moon - Authentic Vision, Creative Imagination, Inspired Action

"This is a time to discover /rediscover our soul’s purpose
and orient toward realizing our ultimate dream."

~ Steve Nelson, Mythic Astrologer, 2/28/10

We're just 30 minutes or so past the new moon in Pisces, so entering a potent seed-planting time centered around authentic vision, creative imagination, and the inspired action that grows from the wellspring of Spirit within and around us.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the end of one journey, where the wisdom gained from our walk around the wheel informs and inspires the next cycle of activity. Pisces is associated with psychic and energetic sensitivity, the mystical awareness and experience, the rich guidance from the unseen realms, and the spiritual path. It is the archetypal well from which the waters of deep compassion are drawn. If we're operating from shadow, it can mean overly porous boundaries, illusion, and even addiction (to numb and avoid the sensitivity).

Working with the lunar cycles is one way we can ground and center ourselves in what otherwise can feel like a whirlwind. It's also one way to make sure 'time doesn't get by us' when it comes to our highest visions and deepest values. And Time does seem to have stepped on the accelerator!

At the new moon, we open to our higher wisdom (and Divine Guidance if we're so inclined) to receive the visions, insights, and intentions that we plant like seeds, tend, and watch grow to ripeness and harvest.

Each new moon has its archetypal energies, and with Pisces, just before the Spring Equinox, we open to more inspired, authentic vision, and work with the great gift of our creative imagination, to guide wise, soul-aligned action that is compassionate and dedicated towards the higher good (the Aquarian energy that precedes Pisces on the wheel).

"Support abounds for those with dedicated creative purpose.
We are getting ready to ride the tide of the imminent Spring thaw."

~ Caroline Casey, Visionary Activist, Coyote Network News

So, to what will you dedicate your 'creative purpose'? What small green shoots want to be tended in your Life-garden this year? The answer doesn't come from your mind; it's not a matter of intellect, which brings old  (albeit sometimes valuable) news. Yep, that's the kicker, isn't it?

The inspired vision and intentions you seek -- that will inform unfolding action -- comes from within, and through that deep center and its imaginal playground, a greater wisdom and genius than the mind can offer.

Starting this week as the new moon begins to show its crescent, and through this lunar month, ask for vision, dreams, insight, and guidance to illuminate the joyful way through this next year. The energy of Mars (March, and Aries' ruler) is building for release towards a higher, devotional cause (lest it be misspent in a youthful and reckless jaunt). What vision and wisdom will guide it? And towards what?

The next few weeks are perfectly timed and energized for this work of imagining, receiving vision, and shaping the intentions that will guide the energies of the coming months -- in a way that has a feeling of joy, heartfulness, and purpose for you.
