Moon in Pisces

FIND YOUR MOON SIGN

Pisces is the last of the Water signs and the final sign of the zodiac. It is mysterious, sensitive, deep and profoundly intuitive by nature. It is magical and enigmatic, difficult to understand but very pleasant to be with.
The Pisces Moon plays the role of wizard, sage or hermit in the cosmic court because it embodies knowledge and the highest secret truths offered in the service of others. Almost every culture has its mystical wizard or high priest who symbolizes wisdom incarnate, and invariably their role is to protect truth and propa­gate knowledge. Merlin is a good example of a sage who is com­ passionate but also detached from the world he tries to help - so characteristic of the wise man's ability to be in the world, but not of it. Here but not here, involved but detached, feeling but aloof - the Pisces Moon in a paradoxical nutshell.

The Sensitive Mystic

It takes some time to understand the Pisces Moon. They tend to resist easy labelling, although a little experience will quite easily help you pick one out from the crowd. They are a wonder all of their own and have a special allure that seems to invite your inves­tigation into who they are - a journey that is almost as endless as they are deep.

Layer by successive layer you will find that the Pisces Moon holds many secrets and possesses many subtle qualities. They are one of the most sensitive of the zodiac signs, and are often known
for their strong intuition and psychic talents. Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, known in Sanskrit as Guru, and thus Pisces Moons are philosophical and appreciate life's deeper mysteries. They are given to deep thought and are usually content contemplating in their own quiet privacy. They can reflect on a subject for a long

time, and sometimes need prodding with external stimuli to come back to normal consciousness. They have an insatiable curiosity, which frequently  lands them into trouble, and are always seeking new levels of meaning and understanding, even in the most simple events of the day. It is difficult for a non-Piscean Moon to comprehend, but they are naturals at meditation and easily slip into daydreaming, reveries and fantasies. This gives them a strong creative quotient and a vivid imagination that can capti­vate you if you are able to get the shy Piscean to open up and reveal their inner secrets.

Pisces Moons are generous and thoughtful, non-judgemental and usually like to reflect on all sides of on issue before they draw a conclusion. When they do, they like to think that it is a wise judgement, but they are not usually too worried about being wrong or admitting a fault. They can be quite  philosophical about life.

Pisces Moons are attractive personalities that are likeable for their easy-going nature. People gravitate to them, especially when they feel a need for comfort or understanding, which come natu­ rally from a Pisces Moon. They often have a healing spirit about them and are able to intuit the needs, wants and hurts of others. This is not always apparent to the casual observer, but that is because the Pisces Moon has its own heart language, a special vocabulary of emotion that tends to work beneath the surface, quietly and gently.

In a sense, Pisces symbolizes the final stage of evolutionary soul development. This can make Pisces Moons uninterested in mundane subjects and material possessions, and keen adherents of esoteric knowledge or spiritual values. They are strongly intu­itive, which often gives them psychic abilities and premonitions. This may be most easily noticed in their childhood, when their capacity for fantasy hos not been dulled by the imposition of social norms. In this freer state, they are more open to receive the subtle influences which give psychic impressions and they are more likely to reveal them if they find a person genuinely willing to listen to them. In their early stage of life, their rich inner world is a source of wonder and inspiration and its influence tends to last long into adulthood, inspiring the more creative and original side to their nature.

The Creative Romantic

The creative element to their character  is strong and in some cases will actually manifest as artistic ability. Painters whose Moon was in Pisces include Braque, Dali, Warhol and Renoir, each of whom demonstrated, in their own way, the romantic and fantastical elements of Pisces. The Piscean romantic shades, poetic depth and philosophical insight into human nature are found in the charts of Chekhov, Pasternak, Tagore and Twain. If your Pisces partner is not endowed with such august talent, you will nevertheless still find an original, expressive and eccentric cre­ative spirit that loves to indulge in decorative, playful and inspired living spaces. Pisces Moons love social gatherings and if there is anywhere they can let their hair down, it's at a party or dancing in a club. They tend to have a unique sense of style, enjoying fine clothes and ornaments. Even when they dress simply, they do so with a panache that sets them apart from the crowd - which is one of the more extrovert tendencies of the Pisces Moon.

The love of home and a penchant for displaying fine objects are strong elements in the Pisces Moon, although it may take some time before you get used to the love of clutter, which they prefer to describe as 'ordered chaos'. An interesting side of their personality is their lack of interest in objects which don't live up to their standards - they have the ability to do without rather than lower their standards. In terms of daily living, it is important for them to retreat to their 'hermitage', to pull away from the hustle and bustle of life, in order to stay in touch with the inner world that strengthens and supports them.

They are more fond of ideas than details, which they tend to discount as troublesome and irrelevant. It's as though the minu­tiae of life will ground them down and keep them from the plea­ sure of their inner creative world. In short, the nitty-gritty is boring to them and without sufficient reason to be 'in the world' they can easily float off to a dreamy contentment all their own. They there­ fore do well with an Earth sign, such as the perfectionist Virgo Moon or the practical Taurus Moon, who can draw them back down to earth while celebrating and enjoying the Piscean other­ worldliness.
The Pisces Moon is more emotional than logical; in fact they have their own 'feeling-logic', which, at least to them, explains the dynamics of emotions and is self-justifying in its own right. It is a rare soul who can get them to express the rules of this logic. The Pisces Moon does not express itself easily in words . They are usually taciturn, shy and retiring. It is very unusual to find an extrovert Pisces Moon and even when you do, they almost cer­tainly will not reveal their inner secrets. If for some reason they do let you into their emotional world, it will be a treat and a privilege, and this in itself suggests that they hold you in high esteem.

If this doesn't happen, then be patient, because the challenge with the Pisces Moon is to get them to understand what is hap­pening inside them. Their tendency to introversion can make them more inward-looking than most, and this can make them appear eccentric and absent-minded. There is every chance that they are distracted or disconnected from what is happening around them. Where this would worry another person, a Pisces Moon will be quite content at letting 'the little boring details' pass them by.

To communicate with them, you will probably be more successful by sitting down and meditating, visualizing them and sending them a psychic message, than trying to get them to understand something by talking. This may seem like on exagger­ation, but for many Pisces Moons it is not far from the truth, as they tend to be sensitive, keenly aware and often in tune with the subtlety of nature and their surroundings. They are accommodat­ing and can be quite fluid in their approach to life, with a flexibility that lets them bend with the wind like no other Moon sign. They can find it difficult when  it comes to toking charge and having it their way. They have to make an extra effort to exert their will, otherwise it is much too easy for them to go with the flow and end up in a place or relationship where they don't wont to be.

The sign of Pisces is the essence of giving and self-sacrifice, and the Pisces Moon is one of the most naturally compassionate signs. It is not just a matter of a mental or intellectual view of suf­fering, but rather something they feel as personal, almost physical in themselves; they have the ability to actually feel the pain and discomfort of others. This is another side to their mystical nature and allows them to truly place themselves in another's shoes. This can apply not only to people but almost any living thing, and thus the Pisces Moon represents not only self-sacrifice but a tendency to non-violence. It is rare to find that a Pisces Moon will actually be aggressive or hurtful, except in cases where the rest of the chart strongly counters their exceptional compassion.
