Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Pisces from Saturday the 21st at 11:05pm EST / Sunday the 22nd at 4:05am UTC until Tuesday the 24th at 10:05am EST / 3:05pm UTC.
Moon in Pisces: Peregrine. Without any essential dignity, though not in her detriment of fall. The Moon continues to be somewhat unsteady, but this is an excellent day for emotional exploration and self-care. Free-form journaling, walks that have no specific destination in mind, and other practices or rituals that help you to get in touch with your own emotional center will be greatly supported here. Visions may also come to you, as Pisces is by far the zoidion which is most overtly connected to the other side.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Bicorporeal Water. Bicorporeality indicates activities and moods which are a mean between the extremes of tropicality (cardinality) and fixedness, not as erratic and changing as the former, but not as solid and steady as the latter. The water element emphasizes the emotional and inner life, and people tend to prioritize their own inner states and unconsciousness patterns. The atmosphere takes a very reflective tone.
Moon’s ruler: The Moon forms a sextile her ruler Jupiter. She therefore can ground her significations into actuality, and the work and activities done during this period have greater potential to turn into something positive and longer lasting. Jupiter-Moon sextiles in general bring support from teachers and authority figures. Emotional buoyancy will abound more so than usual.
Relationship to the Sun: Inferior Double-bodied Square to the Sun in Sagittarius. Obstacles and roadblocks will arise to thwart your intentions. Things may take longer than you expected, and the days may not look how you intended. You will find yourself engaged in many different activities throughout the day.
Aspects
Inferior Water Trine to Venus in Scorpio. Support from friends and allies, great amounts of harmony between friends and family, and interpersonal connections become easier to nurture. The arts flourish, and the muses speak more clearly. The water-trine will encourage you to explore your emotional depths with others.
Inferior Water Trine to Mercury in Scorpio. Great potential for communication and effective interactions with others on a verbal level. As with the last period, this will be most effective with a focus on the internal, intuitive, and spiritual, and less on the physical and practical, with the watery nature of this trine.
Inferior Sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. A touch of melancholy. You may find difficult experiences coming up that will thwart your agenda or sidetrack you, but you can transmute the difficult events or emotions that arise much more easily given the sextile. Whatever comes, it won’t be extraordinarily difficult.
Summary: Oftentimes we get our best work and accomplishes done when we stop trying to force our own agenda and simply go with the flow, adapting to whatever is coming our way. This Moon in Pisces period is one such time. With two trines and a sextile, including one from her ruler, you can expect a lot of help and support coming your way to accomplish your will. However, the watery nature of this Moon and the two water trines involved intimate quite strongly that success will not come through forcing your own agenda. The same goes for the Sun-Moon square - you can’t muscle your way through and expect the events and situations around you to follow suit.
Now is an excellent time to go inward, given that this is a watery, very introverted sign, and the aspect from Saturn and will be sure to bring stuff up. Explore your inner life, and you will be especially supported doing this with others, thanks to the aspects from Mercury and Venus. The Moon continues to receive ample support from the yin side of her ruler Jupiter to ensure that the mystical, spiritual dimensions both within and without can be explored successfully.
