Psychic downloads, seas of empathy and compassion, and good old fashioned cosmic weirdness are on tap with this moon, and if you play your cards right, you can make at least some of this your new … anti-normal.
Let this Piscean moon expand your consciousness and open your mind.
Pisces is associated with The Moon card in Tarot and its planetary ruler, Neptune, with The Hanged Man. Take a cue from the sixties and tune in, turn on, and drop out for a spell to get deep into the interior exploration and radically shifted perspective these cards offer. While these states are natural for Pisces, they can be very disoriented for those not well acquainted with the realm of the astrological fishes, so find a safe space and a good chuck of time to allow maximum integration of this energy.
What part of your Self needs to be seen and acknowledged by you? Is there a part of yourself you’ve neglected or turned away from because it doesn’t fit the mold of your life or society? Once you’ve travelled deep inside to find these answers, how can you forced a perspective shift on your external world? If this part of you has been suppressed due to its inability to conform with external standards, how can you break the standards to allow it to fit?
This ritual is designed to open your heart and mind to embrace the parts of you that don’t seem to fit with the life you are living. Whether you are a loud and proud weirdo with a secret reserved side, a neatly combed normie hiding a wild streak, or someone in between, there is room for you to move toward accepting more of yourself and rejecting more of the perceived standards of your world.
Use what you have on hand in your home. Work with what you have, both in terms of physical items and knowledge and experience. Be more concerned with doing what is authentic to you than with what is “correct”. The most correct thing is the thing the you truly connect with and evolve through. You have everything you need.
Gather what you have of the following:
CLEANSER: sage, palo santo, incense, energy cleansing spray, selenite wand, a bell – whatever you use to clear the energy of your space is great.
IMAGES: Print outs or drawings of The Ace of Cups, The Moon, and The Hanged Man (you’ll want to keep the actual cards in your deck to use for readings)
CANDLES: One 7-day ritual candle (the tall kind in glass) in any color but black (black is for clearing, new moons are for growing). If you don’t have ritual candles, you can use tea candles or simply follow the clearing, incantation, and visualization prompts.
CANDLE DRESSINGS: Myrrh oil and black pepper. If you are using a ritual candle and it is pre-dressed, leave it be.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS: A selection of crystals (whatever you are drawn to - blue kyanite, iolite and rose quartz are good options, moldavite if you wanna get real crazy) and mushrooms. You can decide what kind. If you don’t have these, feel free to improvise with what you have on hand.
PRACTICAL THINGS: matches, a pen, a napkin or paper towel to wipe oil from your finger
Perform the ritual:
STEP 1: Clear the energy of your space, then close your eyes and take 3 deep cleansing breaths to ground yourself in space and time.
STEP 2: Place the candle in the center of your altar area with the images of The Moon and The Hanged Man on either side and The Ace of Cups above (behind the candle). Place the crystals around the base of the candle.
STEP 3: Place a drop of myrrh oil on top of the candle and trace it around 3 times clockwise, then sprinkle a tiny bit of ground black pepper on top. Myrrh opens access to the world beyond the veil and black pepper clears away negative energies.
STEP 4: Light the candle and say “Every part of me belongs. Every part of me fits perfectly in my world. Every part of me is loved.”
STEP 5: Close your eyes and spend a few minutes listening to the sounds of your environment. If anything annoys you, gently sit with it until you can release that reaction. Repeat until you are at peace with your sonic environment exactly as it is. Then open your mind’s eye to a vision of yourself, exactly as you are right now, floating peacefully deep in outer space. The planets and stars you can see are none that exact in the known Universe. This is not the space of Earth, this is the space of YOU. See if the stars form any constellations. Do their symbols mean anything to you? Is there anything you see that you’d like to get closer to? Allow yourself the freedom to explore. This is yours. It is all a reflection of you. Enjoy it. Stay in this world as long as you like, then gently open your eyes. Repeat this visualization daily for 7 days. If you are using tea candles, dress and light a new one each day and repeat the incantation.
