New Moon in Pisces Ritual + Writing Prompt—Dream Weaving

Pisces is the end of the zodiac, the twelfth house, the final resting place where everything dissolves back into the cosmic ocean. It is the end of the astrological year, the close to the cycle. And Pisces is also the beginning. It is the grave and the womb, the place where energy separates and disintegrates and then recombines to give birth to spring, to the first house, the beginning of the cycle, to the I AM that is Aries season. Aries is our birth; Pisces is the womb that gives birth to us, the mother ocean, and also the place of our death, ego death or physical death. This new moon in Pisces reminds us that every ending is a beginning, every beginning contains an end.

This season and this weather asks us to tune inward, to consume more and output less. This doesn’t mean we can’t be productive… this means honoring the role of input and holding, of nurturing and germinating the seed beneath the soil, in the process of production.
