February 2023: New moon in Pisces
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol for this new moon.
The February 2023 new moon falls in the sign of Pisces. The Pisces archetype is highly intuitive and very open to the flow of creative imagination. This is the sign of creative dreamers and mystics and visionaries, which makes this full moon an excellent time to flex your intuitive and creative muscles.
This new moon also highlights our search for meaning and our desire to define or refine our life purpose. Which can sound very lofty – so instead of thinking about your “life purpose”, use this full moon to reflect on the things that you want to focus on in the coming months or year. And when you think of those things, try not to make it a beating-yourself-up goals list – make space for joy and beauty and delight.
Because life purpose? It usually is where you find the most joy…the thing that lights you up from within…where you lose track of time. Make sure that you’re making some space for that!
To throw some more light on the February new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Pisces new moon falls in decan 1, which is represented by the 8 of Cups. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Moon, which is associated with Pisces.
You’ll find the full astro-tarot forecast, tarot spread and journaling questions, as well as an exploration of the Sabian Symbol on the website.
