Pisces New Moon - Surrender and Acceptance

Here in London we are being treated to beautiful morning mists which give way to gorgeous late winter sunshine. It's perfect weather for the season and for being in nature. Signs of spring are on their way. A bunch of pink crocuses have come up in my garden, their petals opening and closing with the sun. A single snowdrop has joined them.

Just over a year ago I adopted a very gentle cat. His name is Misty and yes, he loves the morning mist. His name came to me in a dream and then I was guided to my local cat shelter. A week later we brought Misty home. It was meant to be and together we have healed each other - him from the trauma of losing his former home and me from the grief of losing my beloved cat Milton.

I've been on a very Piscean journey these last few years, with several years of Neptune in Pisces transits to my mutable planets and points. There has been much loss and a long illness, but also a complete re-set of my life and my purpose. As a Capricorn Sun, letting go of the need to be productive and hard working, to control outcomes and to have a plan, was difficult. In the end the universe gave me no choice but to surrender to and accept what is, with the side effect of letting go of a lot of the grief, fear and anger I was barely aware I was holding. 

Eventually, a strong sense began to come through that divine guidance has been supporting me all along and trying to point me in the right direction. Which is not to say I am in any way special, because this is available to all of us. In my case, I just wasn't listening for a long time, or perhaps didn't given myself the space to hear it. 

It became easier when my secondary progressed Sun moved into Pisces, closely followed by my secondary progressed Moon in Pisces, my progressed New Moon. Which brings me to the upcoming Pisces New Moon on February 20. Perhaps part of the message of this New Moon is to look for where we might need more acceptance in our life, to accept that we can't control everything and might be better to go with the flow for a while.

A couple of weeks ago, I got together with the AOAUK team and we discussed the Pisces New Moon as well as the current transits around it. The link is below.

Very recently, I was guided towards healing modalities and I listened, after hearing the message a number of times. I was attuned to Reiki level II in 2007, and Reiki level I around a year before that. It was finally time for me to take the next step and I recently completed level III and am now a certified Usui/Holy Fire Reiki® Master. It was such a wonderful, life and spirit enhancing experience. I will shortly be offering Reiki treatments and distance healing, so watch this space.

In the meantime, I have some exciting new astrology consultation offerings, with opening discounts and special bonuses. See here for details: Astrology Consultations with Mandi Lockley
