Star Struck Style

Today’s new moon in Pisces comes hot on the heels of a few other astrological events that I discussed in yesterday’s post: the sun’s ingress into my sixth house and transiting Mars’ conjunction with my natal Saturn. All three events are terrific for someone that fate has put into a position where it is necessary to cultivate some self-discipline.

Nevertheless, I haven’t had a Pisces new moon arrive in my sixth house for as long as I can remember. There is only a 3°20″ overlap of the two sections in my natal chart because I use the Placidus system of house division. That makes this occurrence seem quite significant. Perhaps that is why this passage from the daily stellar round-up on “Café Astrology” sticks out to me:

“We’re preparing for a new beginning and starting fresh. We awaken to the need for a spiritual vision or more magic in our lives.”

As I prepare for a few more weeks of recuperation from my surgery and the more self-disciplined lifestyle that is going to need to accompany that routine, I could use a little more “magic” in my life. I’m not sure where I’m going to find it, but I need to be sure that I do find it. I need to look for it everywhere I go.

The fact is that I already do look for it; I’m an astrologer, after all. Sometimes people question my intelligence and/or my sanity for possessing a belief system that challenges their own beliefs. I don’t allow that to worry me. I question those people who don’t believe in anything because I see magic everywhere I go. While I’ve got some free time on my hands, I need to continue to find magic in my own little world. It’s what keeps me sane when the world is going crazy. Discovering a sense of organization in the universe is like staring into a dahlia blossom and comprehending the Fibonacci sequence that is right there in front of you, or looking at a gem that takes on chatoyancy when it is polished . It makes perfect sense that everything lines up in order. It also makes sense that that order eventually breaks down.

During this new moon cycle, I need to make observing that magical process my distraction from the mundane realities of the sixth house. I can be disciplined and organized without losing my sense of wonder in the world around me.

So that’s what I’m going to do . . .
