New Moon in Pisces

The new moon in Pisces corresponds with events involving health, drugs, alcohol, prisons, water and marine activity. Pisces also symbolizes covert activity as well as philanthropy, charity and volunteerism.

Here are some events in the news that reflect the Pisces symbolism.

So far, the most dramatic events symbolized by the new moon in Pisces was Pres. Bush's veto of a bill which was to prohibit waterboarding, a technique in which restrained prisoners are threatened with drowning.

And findings that drinking water in the US (and apparently New York in particular) is contaminated by pharmaceuticals. As well as American soldiers in Iraq becoming sick from the drinking water.

Other Piscean events were:

Japanese whalers and anti-whaling activists clashed in the waters near Antarctica on Friday, with each side offering conflicting accounts of the confrontation.

Margaret Thatcher was hospitalized, Patrick Swayze's illness was in the news and Marion Jones was jailed but from what I could see, the lunation did not contact their horoscopes. (Well, it was on the antiscia of Swayze's Saturn.)

The new moon was conjunct Uranus in Pisces. Covert events involving technology are common with this contact and on Friday MTV issued a statement that computer files with confidential data on about 5,000 employees were breached after an Internet connection in an employee’s computer was compromised.

A female will become Korea's first astronaut, selected in a last minute switch after the Russian space authorities accused the man who was initially chosen for the mission of breaking training rules by taking training manuals without permission.

And combining technology and health care needs: a high-technology, focused blood drive is being launched by Facebook.
