Tomorrow's New Moon in Pisces is surrounded by a mass of celestial points, which seems reminiscent of a crowd huddled together, waiting - for change, for a message, for the next shoe to drop, etc. In some circumstances, that is indeed all one can do, and we are often primed to consider the great acts that forge future epochs as beyond our reach.
Yet in among this large astrological grouping are markers* that indicate very lucidly our agency and power, and our ability to wield them - especially if we work together.
Where Aquarius represents the human collective as a finite resource bound by the laws of existence, Pisces takes the image a step further - into the realm of infinite possibilities. Here, we are no longer a discrete species of individuals clearly demarcated and confined to the limits we can see and understand. We are free to dissolve the boundaries separating us, look deeper, and discover that we are in fact formed from the same particles that make up everything in the universe, all inextricably connected with one another.
Our strength resides in the fact that no-one is truly insignificant, both because we can join forces and because each action of ours creates a ripple that, under the right conditions, escalates to a tidal wave. None of us knows what could be the final touch - perhaps as soft as a quiet breath - that changes the course of events and grants us success, expected or not.
We each have the capacity to distinguish plainly between right and wrong, truth and lies, compassion and cruelty. There lies within us an unerring sense, a hotline to the cosmos, a bullshit detector that cuts through the moral fog with which some seek to mar our vision. It's up to us to keep it sharp and refuse to give in to despair or apathy. However beset hope and justice may be right now by their assailants, hope will survive and justice triumph if enough of us strive to uphold them.
* One of these is the centaur Nessus, which represents the power to end repeating patterns of behaviour by taking responsibility and holding oneself accountable. Then there's Mercury over on the Aries Point, where individual meets collective, and the still-close conjunction between Chiron and the North Node, signifying the link between healing and soul growth.
