Pisces by Johannes Hevelius, 1687 (stars are heightened in gold) The last new moon before Nowruz and the spring equinox... occurs in the midst of a mega stellium with no less than nine 'bodies' (the Sun, Moon, five planets and two asteroids) in Pisces... with Mercury still retrograde,  and the Sun.Moon conjunction forming two major aspects: a trine with the Nodes a T-square with Lilith, Ceres and Vesta on one side and the Galactic Center on the other. This unusual stellium with a mass of planets in Pisces, is actually simpler to interpret than most planetary configurations. The planets are blurring each other's specific function; their activities dissolve and merge into one sole electromagnetic wave. What really stands out is the Piscean vibration, which results in a disintegration of the personality as a separate entity.

Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”  ~ Genesis 3:16-19 on 31 August 2012 at 13hr58 GMT the full moon is conjunct Chiron and Neptune in Pisces, trine Mars in Scorpio

A brief look at the last New Moon of this solar year.. Many layers of significance are to be found in the depths of the Pisces alignment of this New Moon.
