6 Questions To Journal On For The Pisces New Moon

Following the moon cycle is a great way to monitor change in your life and start a more cyclical way of being. By mirroring your inner worlds with the planet's patterns, you can push forward toward more transformation and healing. But it's not just saying "Yay New Moon!" every month. It's about acknowledging there is a deeper rhythm to life, that there is always something going on under the surface of the busyness, the Google cal, the phone notifications, and the to-do's. 

When I first started working with the cycles of the moon, it gave me permission to look beyond psychology and science on my path to a more fulfilling life. It was just me and the moon. At the beginning of a new cycle, I could sit on my meditation cushion or by my favorite tree and meditate on whatever "thing" I have been working on internally—check in with it, and give it a refresh for the new cycle. I could use the power of prayer, altar making, sacred bath making, art, dancing, singing, cooking—everything!—to bring awareness to the issue at hand, begin to accept it, and allow for a new story or pattern to emerge.

The Pisces new moon coming up on Wednesday, March 6, is a beautiful time to dive into the watery depths of your moon practice. Pisces is all about the emotions—my favorite place to play!

To prepare for a ritual that gets to the root of your innermost feelings and emotions, start by carving out a sacred space. Get your Marie Kondo on and create a clutter-free area to settle into. Use some incense to clear the space, and grab a bowl of water to use as your altar. You can also add a white candle, a blue stone, a tarot card that relates to emotions (like the suit of cups), or a photo of the ocean—all things Pisces!

Then sit and meditate on what you wrote. Write your one step on a separate piece of paper and come back to it next month to see what has shifted.
