Pisces New Moon: InSight
Pick up a thing and hold it close
until you learn its secret name
and say 'thank you'. Do this over
and over with each thing you touch,
until the day you discover
its only one thing,
with a thousand different faces,
teaching you to love.

invites us to detach
from worldly commitments and concerns
to tend the garden within, opening ourselves
to the magical and mysterious
beauty that permeates life -
that so easily can slide out
of our awareness
when we are caught up in daily life.

Our feeling nature is accentuated and we become more sensitive and vulnerable. We are encouraged to be soft with ourselves. In time spent away from the business of life, realizations offer fresh perspective on what is growing, changing, and moving within us. Insight is found through the lens of compassion for ourselves and acceptance of what is.
We are encouraged to empty out and be quiet within ourselves so we can hear the beating of our heart. In this space, we are integrating experiences and learnings of recent months and re-establishing our connection to what matters most in the eternal scheme of things.
We may feel grief for what has been lost. We let go of what we cannot control. We come present and find the still point between what has been and what will be. We feel what is rising within us, like the sap ready to rise with spring. Something dormant in ux is stirring as our focus is given to nurtuing and growing seeds of love, compassion, kindness and creativity.
We feel the pull to enter a realm outside of time where all things emerge and return - a realm beyond judgment, beyond right and wrong, beyond success and failure, where we can attune to the symphony of life and how the song of our life is threaded into the vast tapestry of creation that is eternally unfolding, everchanging. We feel the gift and miracle of life and the magnificence of how we are interconnected with all creation. Time spent in this realm brings insights that we need to be quiet to receive.
