Pisces 2020 New Moon!
Sunday February 23 New Moon at 7:32 AM, 4 Pisces 29!
Six months 4 degree sequence, Two Four Planets Stelliums, Rare Bundle Chart, Mars Key Planet! Fixed Star Fomalhaut!
Our New Moon in Pisces is in the last sign of the Zodiac. What it sees and believes is what guides us into the Zodiacal New Year March 19, Spring Equinox. Pisces calls us to follow the dreams, make music to share the feeling of wonder, inspire the greatest outcome. We ponder the failures, the losses, that leave us with what’s better. We leave certain addictions behind, embrace what has been held in denial. It’s like being born again in the best ways possible, a promise to hold close to our hearts. At maturity, we place the treasures of our perception in Aries’ hands, the first sign of the Zodiac, to take action, introduce them, potently get them started!
This New Moon chart happens to be the 2nd of three New Moons having those rare concentrated Bundle charts, this one having all the planets in only 119 degrees, a third of the Zodiac! The Aquarian New Moon had one, also with Mars/Uranus as defining planets! The Aries New Moon Bundle will be completely different, defined by Jupiter/Venus and have 6 planets between 0 and 6 degrees, very early degrees – very appropriate for the first sign of the Zodiac!
Aries’ planet Mars, the planet of new beginnings, is the engine at the beginning of the Bundle, keeping it moving, pushing it along. Since Bundle charts are so concentrated and focused, we become immersed in our projects and need someone to keep us aware of our surroundings, to push into new territory. Now in Capricorn, Mars leads from behind, working quickly to put things in place, recover from errors, is highly efficient! It takes that intensity to get a solid start with a strong foundation.
Uranus in Taurus is leading the way scanning ahead for safe and sensible openings to use going into new lands. He’s using a solidarity probe to find stable ground to support collective efforts that Moon & Sun and Mercury are dreaming of! They just passed a sextile, an opportunity aspect to him, bringing him up to date with the lastest news and visions of what prevails in the eyes of the collective Spirit.
They also just checked in with Chiron in Aries, and are inspired by new healing techniques, teaching new things in new ways, being out in front with clever business consulting that is impressively fast and easy to implement! Chiron in Aries expects us to heal ourselves, be able to be strong in our work and keep up with local happenings!
Stelliums are typical of Bundle Charts. Our New Moon has TWO 4 planet stelliums!
Mars is in Capricorn along with the THREE outer planets still in Capricorn anchoring and building a solid foundation! They are the mountaineers of Spirit! Jupiter is Sagittarius’s planet, big hearted teacher and traveler. Jupiter has a great window to the Universe, broadens our senses, lights the possibilities along the way that flourish with potential! Expansion exceeds expectations! Ideas are gathered worldwide, coordinated in a timely fashion with excellent results! Jupiter is now at the very degree and sign when Pluto conjuncted the Ecliptic Oct 30 2018! It will be exact Feb 26! There may be reminders of that time! Pluto releases debris and toxins, for deeper connections, intimacy and healing to be possible. Pluto handles financial support to protect and promote the greater good. Saturn, Capricorn’s own planet, is the professional builder, provides shelter and the qualities of dedication, determination. It achieves award winning inspiration. Mars will soon be upon them, adding spitfire energy, making quick fixes that work and make the outcome even better, even while everyone is holding their breath at the last minute!
The two 2020 4 planet stelliums not in Capricorn are 1) Feb 23 in Pisces, New Moon with Mercury and Neptune. 2) May 23 in Gemini with New Moon, Venus retrograde and Mercury.
This time, we have 4 in Pisces, Moon, Sun, they close with Mercury Retrograde. Moon and Sun are moving forward while Mercury Rx is returning to share his findings with them, a mutual conjunction. Neptune, Pisces’ own planet is a bit further on, midway through Pisces now. Moon, Sun and Mercury Rx are in relationships with Mars, the planet of Aries, the next sign after Pisces. Aries is Initiation, first responders, leaders. He is passionate, crazy fearless, a rights fighters in behalf of the underdog. They are heroes against the odds! Mars in Capricorn, Moon‘s opposite sign, can be a little scary for her. But she feels he has good intent, would be a protector, fight for women and children, homelands. She has double quick intuition and can dodge his demands and queries if she needs to. She may see precisely how he does things and may mimic his courage. Mars and Sun are both fire planets, and even in when in the Pisces soft mode, Sun is tempted to give it a try! Mars in Capricorn is an astute guide, nimble and can get you there even when you feel blind or distracted. Mars with Mercury Rx is looking for the spark of attention Mercury is redirecting, making things better. Mercury may speak in his behalf, admiring his fortitude in times of distress when he keeps right on working, pressing for improvements. He may seem abrupt at times, but Mercury can understand that may be what’s needed to wake people up and get going.
Our New Moon at 4 degrees Pisces is the fifth of a SIX months sequence of New Moons all at 4 degrees! 2019 Oct, Nov, Dec and 2020 Jan, Feb, Mar New Moons are all at 4 degrees! The signs are Scorpio, Sag, Cap, AQ, Pisces and Aries. All these Moons are sequentially resonant to each other! If you have factors at 4 degrees or very close to that, let’s say up to 2 to 3 degrees, in your astrology chart, they will be activated over and over. Each Moon being in a different Sign, your chart will be activated from different angles each time, some more favorably than others. Assess your progress, plan out the last of these months with your goal strongly in mind.
Archangel Gabriel’s star Fomalhaut, watcher of the South, is less than a degree of the New Moon. This fixed star has been present in connection with all the 4° New Moons, but this time the same sign! The four Persian Royal stars, Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares, Fomalhaut, are the brightest stars in their constellations and among the 25–brightest stars in the night sky. The Persians considered these stars to be the four guardians of the heavens. In 3000 B.C., when as the Watcher of the South, Fomalhaut marked Winter Solstice. Fomalhaut is in constellation Piscis Austrinus (not Pisces) at the foot of Aquarius, at 3 Pisces 52. It is in service to Humanity. Dark Star Astrology says ‘Rather like Neptune, it can be magical and highly spiritual or just a no good, unscrupulous drunk. All the royal stars have the capability for glory, honor, riches, and fame, but they also have the greatest height to fall from. Their incredible power must be used wisely and with integrity.’
Back to Mars… Mars also squared Chiron and trined Uranus! With Chiron in Aries, Mars’ sign, the square is amplified and there is ambiguous harmony! If they disagree, if Mars is too pushy, there could be some hot moments. The healer/teacher may have you back off or banish you, oops. If Mars approaches with Capricorn respect, it is a whole nother story. They can work together. If Chiron admits there are some flaws in part of the new things he’s trying they can collaborate and, ok, let’s fix it. Uranus in Taurus is in harmony with companion earth sign Capricorn, and with fire fixer Mars! Uranus loves sudden flourishes that wake people up! Uranus wants change, and Mars loves new beginnings! Do it! Uranus holds Mars’ attention more than 5 minutes and Mars is thrilled to take several of his new friend’s ideas with him to the next foray!
So Mars is the key planet at 4 Capricorn. 1) It is the base of the Bundle chart and the Capricorn stellium. 2) It sextiles the New Moon and Sun. 3) It has squared Chiron in Aries, Mars’ sign and trined Uranus, the planet of Humanity. 4) It also sits at the Moon’s South Node, making sure we don’t forget how to lead the fray like we used to in past lives! Moon and Sun are sextle/trine the Moon’s nodal points, lending love, forgiveness, understanding and vision to the Mother/Father, home/career axis. Capricorn generally challenges Fire and Air signs, goes well with Earth and Water but not always Cancer, its opposite.
To add a little more taste of Mars, Venus is in Aries, Mars’ sign! She, at 18°, is connected with Neptune at 17° and Jupiter at 18° Capricorn! Venus in Aries loves a good fair fight, a polite challenge. She cheers her champions, ties her ribbon on their arm. She commends them to others who would engage their services. She brings the best out of her Neptune savior sweetie. Neptune in Pisces spreads that kindness to the others in Pisces our New Moon sign. Neptune and Pisces take a bit more of a chance seeing that lil Venus do it! Old and powerful as Jupiter in Capricorn might be, Venus is usually prettier and in this rare instance Jupiter gets less press! Imagine that! Jupiter is 99% at the top, yet Venus has gotten away with some new thing, a stunt, he huffily says, and she’s doing super well with it. He could try to crush her, but he can see there may be repercussions. No matter, she will be gone soon. Maybe he just needs to take his turn being the student. In Aries she will be little inclined to cater to his feelings. She has things to do, take it or leave it. If he wants to get on with it, in on the good stuff, he may need to go to her, and quickly, before the window closes. If he’s smart, he will give her all the information he gained in his sextile with Neptune on the 20th, and let her run with it! Though her style is not their style, she has the get up and go that they don’t! Her beauty will capture the hearts of people and the message of Jupiter/Neptune will be glorified like they couldn’t do!
Jupiter and Neptune made their first sextile of three Feb 20! In general this New Moon carries their message forward! On a simple human basis I think of this aspect as ‘dreams come true!’ Jupiter is a super workhorse in Capricorn and Neptune in his own sign Pisces it the Dreamer of all Dreamers! The Capricorn stellium will put its efforts into building the bones and strengthening the dream. The Pisces stellium will feel the dream to the core so we don’t forget the wonderful promises we made. Jupiter Sextile Neptune
Pluto and Saturn are still tightly meshed, though their exact conjunction was Jan 12. They are still working as one and both are also moving on, Saturn faster… Pluto has done his best to remove obstacles, cleanse debris that collected, renovate what can be saved, resurrect to new promise. Saturn, powerfully in his own sign, has seen what can be done and is a dedicated assistant. He will carry his toolbox of wisdom forward, working skillfully toward sustainability, an exponential example for all to see. He will take charge and be a model of our times. He has a lot to do between now and his sign change into Aquarius March 21!
Some things are still in recovery from Saturn and Pluto’s grip. It has been and is an honorable time even when painful. We are humbled, learn to maintain our lives in better ways. We get good at it and in the long term it may literally save our lives…or someone else’s. Some of us have helped ourselves by asking for help. Others can have sensible tips for us. Knowing that support is out there makes us know we are not the only one or all alone. Someone cares for us, even if it is a stranger. Hat’s off to you! One day at a time and be proud of it. Pay it forward when you can.
Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus continue humming along in their semisextile. They are will be completing their 13 years long journey together in 2021. For now they are closely together in the background…a small but potent aspect. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.

Pisces, thank you for holding Spirit for us. Sometimes we forget just how important that is.
Pisces New Moon Astrology Chart!
Virgo – Pisces Full Worm SuperMoon, Mercury Direct!
Monday March 9 at 10:48 AM Pacific 19 Virgo – Pisces 37
Bucket Chart with Moon Virgo Handle, 4 Planets Capricorn Stellium! Jupiter/Neptune lives on! Fixed Star Castor is well positioned.
Bookworm Virgo adores reading and writing; Pisces fantasy IS Magic! What better than a Full Moon and candlelight to contemplate the possibilities?! Eldar, Scholar of Ohm by the magical Randal Spangler
This is the first Full Supermoon of 2020! Depending on who is looking, we’ll enjoy a “season” of 3 full moon supermoons March 9, April 8, and May 7, 2020, and then have a “season” of 3 new moon supermoons on September 17, October 16, and November 15, 2020.
A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee.
Often when there are Bundle and Bowl charts, a 1/3 or 1/2 of a chart having all the planets, when Moon (or another planet) strikes out on her own, being the fastest planet, she is what we call the ‘handle of the Bucket chart!‘ The rest of the planets are still clustered behind her. The Full Moon is a classic time, when she is 180 away from the rest. She is the Seeker. She scans for whatever concerns them. She receives information that she filters back to the main body of planets. She carries/sends their messages, information, from the ones she connects with by degrees at any given time, out to their surroundings. Others outside the chart are alerted to Moon and her entourage. Pretty cool that our first SuperMoon is so knowledgeable, and holds such an important position!
This is the 3rd of 5, mid chart of 5 Full Moons that are Bucket charts. Each chart’s Moon is the Handle planet, Cancer, Leo, now Virgo, finishing with Libra and Scorpio! We start and end with a Water sign. Virgo is the only Earth sign. Very briefly, Cancer is home, family, women and children. Leo is Heart and Light, teacher. Virgo is caretaker in every way possible, healer, spiritual midwife and organizer. Libra makes social connections, negotiates, collaborates and partners. Scorpio tends the finances, saves lives, shares deep intimacy. This is a special sequence about relationships, deep caring for each other from birthing to dying.
In that planet cluster behind Mother Moon, there still the same four planets stellium in Capricorn as were at the New Moon! Mars has closed up the gap and so close to Jupiter that big old Jupiter can feel the burn! It’s getting exciting and Jupiter feels a bit rushed at this point! Capricorn has deadlines and duties, commitments to keep. Jupiter is super close to Pluto now and we’re feeling a bit obsessed, even compulsive. How to learn as much as possible in the shortest time ever?!?! There are deals to be made and Souls to be healed! And don’t forget, places to go!!!
Jupiter sextiled Neptune Feb 20 and they are still less than 3 degrees apart. Special dreams are alive and well! Jupiter is approaching Pluto and The Sun is just past Neptune by a day. Mother Moon trines Jupiter and has just left opposition with Neptune. Sun and Moon have left sextile and trine with hardworking Mars, but Mars will maintain the action when it sextiles Neptune March 14th, then conjuncts Jupiter March 20th, a month later! So the Jupiter/Neptune connection powerfully lives on in and through the energy of our Full Moon! See more about Jupiter/Neptune!
This strong connection between these 5 planets empowers the long Jupiter conjunct Pluto March 12 to July 30. That can be a make you or break you kind of an aspect. We will need all the strength we have to do it well. It starts right after Mercury retrograde turns forward out of retrograde March 9. The Mercury Rx will stir the brew in Aquarius/Pisces. We will be ready for change and living in behalf of our brethren. Venus starts her Retrograde CYCLE April 9 and doesn’t complete the entire cycle until July 28, so most of her process will be during the Jupiter conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. Her retrograde will be in Gemini, finding grace in communications. Jupiter wants Truth while Pluto opts for privacy. There will be some challenging delicate moments. Venus love will make all the difference.
Jupiter sextile Neptune, with us for the first of three times in 2020, wants the best possible for every Soul. Planning must include integrity, trust, beliefs to live by. The Sun, with Neptune and sextile Jupiter, identifies with this purpose, awareness of the needs of all Beings, giving his heart to this purpose to bring Light. Jupiter is dedicated in Capricorn, feels Mars coming up behind him, soon to stand at his side, then take that knowledge Jupiter offers on to Pluto, a tough customer! It will take a strong Mars to stand up to Pluto, pierce his armor. Mars in Capricorn is smart and practical, no time waster, and realistic. Pluto may not agree at first, but Mars has his respect. Pluto will mull it over. Saturn already went by Jan 12, so has already instilled a sense of urgency. Mars has upped the amps by saying NOW!
Mother Moon in Virgo, the organizer, is on spot with Mars, will trine Jupiter and Pluto, then Saturn in less than 14 hours! She will offer her services, healing support, emphasize how to get started. She has been sweetened by Neptune’s compassion, gifted by his insights. Sun brightened her Spirit, so she still has a bit of a glow! They know she is sensible, knows her stuff. She is the perfect addition to the project. Moon will back up Jupiter’s plans with fascinating details that make the process smooth! Moon will sense Pluto’s deepest desires, offer her sorts of healing that he may feel safe to pull from his most powerful core knowledge, his Kundalini Fire within! Moon is Saturn’s natural opposite planet, his ‘reflection.’ She is Mother to his Father. He takes on mega commitments and needs sustaining care and feeding that only she can provide. Mercury, Virgo’s planet, is retrograde in Aquarius, a brilliant sign, at the same degree as Saturn! Saturn is earned Wisdom, is an exemplary Chief. Mercury offers him his best.
Saturn is on the brink of entering Aquarius March 21! Saturn senses the importance of Mercury’s Aquarian information. He is finishing up his 2+ years in Capricorn, as best he can, work he feels is crucial. This set of connections brings Saturn’s work to maturity and prepares him for solidarity entering a sign that is not the easiest for him to be in. It will be a bit shocking to conservative Saturn at first. Gonna take a bit of time to steady.
Carrying the Starlight is Fixed Star Castor of Castor & Pollux. Castor is at 20 Cancer. Moon is Sextile; Sun is Trine! Excellent aspects. Jupiter is just past opposition at 21 Capricorn.
The mythology is Castor is one of the two rival brothers of the constellation (not sign) Gemini, Castor mortal, Pollux immortal. Robson says ‘Castor, the mortal one of the twins, is famous for his skill in taming and managing horses. Sometimes called Apollo [Sun god], and symbolically named A Ruler yet to Come. Has an interest in the occult. Dr Eric Morse: Castor is also noted in natal astrology for proneness to mental breakdowns and neurotic distress. People with this star prominent and well aspected are exceptionally gifted intellectually. Where these geniuses often need help is in not letting their concern for others go ‘over the top’. And modern researcher Elsbeth Ebertin…Linked with the Moon or Mercury, it has the effect of such people being blessed with a good nature and fine morals. It is also supposed to convey refined manners. See more by UK astrologer Deborah Houlding. She says it’s all about the ‘quest for divine immortality!’
Castor seems quite fitting to this Full Moon chart. Pisces and its planet Neptune are concerned with matters of the immortal Soul. The Moon, the Bucket handle, is considered to hold memories of past lifetimes. Jupiter has to do with longevity, akin to immortality!
Chiron and Uranus are still at 4 degrees, echoing our New Moon. Venus has just stayed at the Farm with Uranus in Taurus. He reminds her how good it is to be alive, walk barefooted, wear comfy clothes. He might surprise her with a hang glider ride or take her on a glider plane to survey the world. His incredible ideas refresh her body and Spirit! She remembers precious values, things she had always wanted. They chatted and he showed her how they are possible now, perhaps in even better ways than what used to be. Chiron is sizzling in Aries in the background daring her to go for it. Chiron is a good business person as well as a healer/teacher. They in turn are in league with Moon’s North Node in Cancer! See what the family can do, put their name on! Women and children may become an important part of the enterprise. She is intrigued and feels that little chill go up her spine when something special has happened!
Chiron in Aries & Uranus in Taurus continue humming along in their semisextile. They will be completing their 13 years long journey together in 2021. For now they are closely together in the background…a small but potent aspect. Uranus is becoming more Shamanic. Chiron is acquiring a more humanistic range of healing and teaching.

► After the 10:48 AM Pacific Full SuperMoon, Mercury Retrograde turns Direct, forward at 8:49 PM! Mercury holds Station at each turn, the retrogrades and the directs. At this one he stands still from March 6 until Friday the 13th, 8 days at 28 Aquarius. Mercury is back at the deepest degree of its retrograde cycle, the position it started at. It reminds us of the reason for our intelligence, our Soul’s purpose, our own unique way of applying our consciousness. We have several days to consider what matters right now. Focus, be steady, take it in. Aquarius is the great sign of friendship, the connectedness of Humanity, what we can do together. SuperMoon and Sun have reached their widest capacity. Mercury has been collecting energy, is about to release it. If you have chart factors at or very close to 28 degrees, make this time count. It’s a sacred passage.
It can’t be all work! Sun/Neptune might as well head to the spa, rent the vacation condo at the resort, getaway. Start the day with a seaside sunrise breakfast…the rest will happen!
