PISCES NEW MOON HOROSCOPES- 2/20/2023
Updated: Mar 30
Turn your dreams into schemes.
It's time for your monthly 'New Moon Numen'. What is numen?
nu·men- the spirit or divine power presiding over a thing or place.
These horoscopes are designed with the astrological spirit/essence of the Moon in mind. It's not just a horoscope, but also a guide on how to best use the Moon's numen. New Moons are a time for manifesting, planting, and beginning. The Moon is at her darkest, and that darkness acts as rich humus that we can scatter the seeds of our desires in. New Moons also feel special due to the Moon being conjunct the Sun. The luminaries are together, floating in unison if only for the briefest moment. During that moment when the Sun and Moon are aligned we receive a spark, that if used wisely, can turn into a magnificent blaze.
Each horoscope will be a blend of two parts: The astrology, and how to focus that energy. The astrology portion is simply explaining what we're looking at and its influences. House placement, sign, and strong aspects (an orb of 2°) will be taken into consideration when assessing the Moon's numen. The focus portion is meant to further hone in and guide you using real life examples of how the energy could play out. It may not be the exact situation you're experiencing, but it will be in the same realm. Also take your natal placements into account when assessing the energy of this Moon. If you have a natal planet making a major aspect to the Moon, especially a conjunction, then the Moon will express as a blended energy for you.
The Moon's Numen
The Moon isn't making any major aspects other than the conjunction with the Sun. Does this mean that this New Moon isn't as potent? Not at all. It simply means that the Sun and the Moon are totally engaged with one another, and that no other planets are involved in their conversation. The luminaries will be conjoining in the sign of Pisces. Pisces is mutable Water. It's a sign often known for living in a dream world. People with an abundance of Pisces energy often seem otherworldly or like their mind and body are not often in the same place at the same time. Vettius Valens, a 2nd century Hellenistic astrologer, describes the sign of Pisces as "in conflict with itself because one Fish is northern, the other southern." This speaks to the mutable nature of Pisces, one foot in reality, one foot in the dream realm.
What does this Pisces energy mean for our New Moon experience? Since we don't have any aspects to glean information from, we're going to look at the bounds and decan that this New Moon will be occurring in.
