Pisces New Moon: Trusting Yourself, Breaking the Walls, and Embracing Your Intuition
The Pisces new moon invites us to slip into the deep waters of intuition, trust, and self empathy. It is a moon of reflection. Of sensing the walls we’ve built around ourselves and questioning whether they still serve us, or if they have become a cage.
When we were younger, we built defenses to protect ourselves. Maybe it was from judgment, rejection, or experiences that made us feel unseen. These walls may have been necessary at the time, an armor to carry us through, but if left unchecked, they can harden into barriers that keep us from stepping into our full power.
The Walls We Build: How Self Protection Can Become Self Limitation
It often starts in adolescence. The quiet ways we begin shrinking to avoid discomfort. Maybe we dull our opinions to be more likable. Maybe we downplay our skills so we don’t seem arrogant. Maybe we laugh along with jokes at our own expense, choosing acceptance over authenticity. These are survival strategies, not flaws. But if we never question them, if we never break them down when they no longer serve us, they become limitations we unconsciously carry into adulthood.
A girl who was told she was "too sensitive" may grow into a woman who dismisses her intuition, believing her feelings are a weakness instead of a guide.
A young woman who feared standing out may hide her talents, convincing herself she is “not ready” rather than facing the discomfort of being seen.
Someone who learned that asking for help led to rejection may struggle to receive support, mistaking self sufficiency for strength when true strength is knowing when to trust others.
These are not small things. These are the unseen barriers that hold us back from our own expansion.
Trusting Intuition: Breaking Free with Self Empathy
The energy of Pisces is deeply intuitive, reminding us that we already know what we need, but trusting that knowing is the work. Breaking down our walls does not mean leaving ourselves unprotected. It means recognizing the difference between wise discernment and fear based avoidance.
If something excites you but also terrifies you, ask yourself: Is this fear because I am not ready, or because I am stepping into something bigger than I’ve ever allowed myself to be?
If you dismiss a gut feeling, pause: Am I ignoring my intuition, or am I honoring it?
If you struggle to receive love, support, or success, reflect: What part of me still believes I am not worthy of this?
Pisces also brings self empathy. It reminds us that we are not failures for having walls. We built them for a reason. But we are also allowed to evolve beyond them. To acknowledge the part of ourselves that needed protection while choosing not to let that version of us make every decision.
