Pisces Moon

PISCES MOON

Here is another one of those double-whammy Moons, since Pisces is a Water Sign and already significantly emotional. Feelings will be deep and sometimes visceral, moving the person in ways unknown to Earth, Fire and Air Signs. They are very likely to be moved to tears by such things as a sentimental song or even a tragic news story. In the case of the latter, they are very likely to want to help in some way to relieve any human suffering. No thanks to Neptune, they can be easily duped so must be careful not to fall too easily for "hard luck" stories or the pleadings of televangelists.

Since this placement magnifies the emotions, it also can predispose a person to escapism if life becomes too painful. They should be careful to avoid drugs and alcohol, particularly when under stress, and realize they could suffer adverse side effects to medically necessary drugs as well. Other coping mechanisms should be sought as well as healthy outlets for stress.

Since these individuals are so sensitive to emotional pain themselves, they will generally do everything possible to spare others from being hurt. Unfortunately, this makes it easy for them to justify lying which they can do very easily with fabrications and untruths generated effortlessly and convincingly. They can also deceive themselves in an effort to avoid unpleasant and/or painful situations.

It is important to find suitable outlets for all this emotional energy. Creative efforts can serve well in this area, since they are usually enhanced when imbued with emotion. The most moving music, artwork and writing, whether prose or poetry, always has a strong emotional element which these folks can certainly provide.

Individuals with Water Sign Moons need to be especially cautious in relationships. Due to their empathic and caring nature, they are easily taken advantage of and the scars of such can run deep. They need to be certain that they know what they are getting into and that they can trust anyone they're involved in, whether in a personal or business sense. Their instincts are generally quite strong and they need to be able to read them and when required separate them from what is purely an emotional reaction. That pitiful looking beggar may well deserve his sorry situation and not be helped by an easy way out.

Conversely, since their entire existence is afloat in a sea of emotion, they also know how to use others' feelings to their own advantage by using guilt, pity or other ploys to get what they want. A sense of entitlement is commonly found with Pisceans and they have no problem asking for a favor. Remember as well that the Grand Canyon was formed by water and in a similar manner Water Signs have quite the knack for wearing down people and their resistance until they get what they want.

Speaking of which, the path of least resistance is usually the chosen way. Determination and drive require logic and drive that do not come naturally with this placement, unless the Sun Sign and other aspects have strong Earth and Fire Elements. Nonetheless, if a career is properly chosen where they can help people and relieve suffering, such as in charitable or healthcare work, it will provide a great deal of satisfaction as well as a positive emotional channel.

A Progressed Pisces Moon is often a less than pleasant surprise. There is some continuity from the Aquarius benevolence, but the emotional involvement is entirely new. If the person has never had any Water Sign experience before it is likely to be a considerable shock and they will wonder why they are suddenly so emotional about everything. The lack of control will be daunting and possibly embarrassing. It's important to realize what the cause is and that there is really nothing wrong with them at all. If anything, for a person who has previously been very logical and controlled, it provides a strong lesson in how others can feel and will build empathy. This progression is a good time to get involved with family members on an emotional level and build relationships that may have been lacking previously. If there is an interest or talent in a creative area it will be enhanced and also serve as a positive means of expression.
