19th March 2026 – Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel
This New Moon is in the mutable water sign of Pisces. New moons are symbolic of the unconscious mind, mundane behaviours, instincts and of general mood. They also represent an initiating or incubating quality, whether conscious or not. The mutable mode indicates a changeable and sometimes unpredictable nature. The water element bring the sensitivities and issues of emotion, and Pisces is connected to the subconscious realm and dreamtime.
The ruling planet of Pisces, the Greater Benefic Jupiter, is exalted at 15 Cancer and is bringing auspicious gifts.
The New Moon is straddled on one side by Mercury retrograde, planet of communication and Mars, planet of a fighting energy, making a stellium in Pisces, and another stellium in Aries by glamourous Neptune, strict Saturn and beautiful, Venus.
The planetary ruler is offering Mercury retrograde support in its weakened position of detriment and fall in Pisces. The exalted benefic is also offering support albeit in a clashing square to Venus who is in detriment in Aries.
Saturn in fall is in the same challenging predicament with Neptune though now in Aries, which is part of a mini grand trine, in sextile to both chaotic Uranus in Taurus and deeply transforming Pluto in Aquarius, which are both in trine to each other. On a social level unpredicted changes are contributing to a deep undercurrent of renewal with a dissolving and illusionary quality of Neptune that even Saturn finds difficult to contain.
Moon, herbs and ritual
- Dark moon’s are good rest days and used for preparation work. Preparing pots, pot labels and soil, organise seeds and planting. Avoid harvesting until the moon is visible in 1-2 days time.
- A feminine water moon thus moist and fertile
- Support and tonify the feet, toes, lymphatics and immunity
- Herbs could include cleavers, horseradish, ground ivy and echinacea
- A simple dark moon ritual is to detox in a magnesium salt bath (or foot bath) with added fragrant herbs, essential oils or flower essences.
‘The stars incline, they do not compel, a trinity of testimonial’s is needed for certainty. With foresight and preparation, a certainty can be prepared for, helping to either enhance or negate, as needed.’
These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s, though otherwise they are general.
If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.
The safe use of herbs and other remedies will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.
