Mothers Day Martyr: Pisces Moon
“What is it, babe? You know I can’t get done what I need to get done if you’re hanging around mooning.”
–My Inner Bitch
The Moon is in Pisces for Mothers Day. My girls love to go to the mall and I abhor it. All week I’ve put them off and yesterday I said, “Look, I’ll take you tomorrow,” subtext, “Just get off my case about it!” Well it’s tomorrow and their patience is at an end. They let me sleep in, brought me milk and scones and let me finish my coffee but now they’re hanging around giving me scathing glances. I was deep in the middle of belting out the Tammi Terrell part of “You’re All I Need To Get By” when I was interrupted by “Are you ready to go?”
Of course I got all butt-hurt and I had to hide my internal “bird perch”, that lower-lippy pout. Then I thought, “Ah, is it Pisces Moon already?” Pisces Moon is sensitive, some would say oversensitive. It’s a martyr moon. Just like the Pisces fish it can be swimming one way then turn on a dime and go the other. Magical moods can turn painful, but the beauty here is that painful moods can turn magical. There’s pain but there’s also transcendence.
Today’s Pisces Moon sextiles Pluto and conjuncts Neptune and Chiron. A misstep can BOOM put you right back into a childhood wound. However, there’s plenty of support to transcend and swim the other way. Pisces Moon is prone to the emotional condition that precedes procrastination: it doesn’t feel good right now so you wish it away into the corn. However, it’s also great at getting back on track if one chooses to do so. The key is not to attach yourself, foster addiction, to negative emotions. Pisces Moon has the ability to create the mood they choose, so one must be careful to choose well.
What’s your mood today?

I’m with you on the mall-hatin’, Satori ! yech !
My mood ? I don’t really have one, as it’s being overshadowed by my not feeling well. I am grateful I wasn’t dragged off to a hellish retail labyrinth, though. ; )
Elsa bailed me out; the kids shopped, I walked and talked (on the phone). people stared. take a picture, it’ll last longer!!
Content with nature and the simple things, like coffee outside on the patio and a good book. I meditated and had long spiritual discussions. It was a good day.
I spent the day pulling broom on a neighbor’s hillside. She’s a little too old to be getting out and doing it, and it’s a fire hazard. Born with a Pisces moon, so it feels comfortable, but I know when I’m feeling a little down, doing something physical, that I know helps, helps me.
At our shelter (I’m a DV advocate) tonight a very strange spiritual thing happened, and I had read your post beforehand so I wanted to share this. There is a girl who lost an infant baby to SIDS only a year ago, and a woman whose mother is passing away. So we are sitting there talking about how wonderful mother is, and I realize we’re all phoning it in. I see that we’re all pretending, in an identical way, that we aren’t mad at our moms. So I finally say, “Well, my mom was too into her victimhood. I love the woman, don’t get me wrong, I’m made in her image, but she was definitely a controlling mother. She was opressive toward me, and while she did love me, I felt that it was abusive. She left me with scars that still trouble me a lot.” And we sat together and had an impromptu group about all the things we never said to our mothers, who it turned out all controlled their children through guilt and intimidation. It was a thrilling spiritual discussion, we were able to draw the parallels through almost all our hangups in life, it seemed. And we came together like children with a secret, our rebellion against mother and her insistant sadness and emotional repression.
Isn’t that funny, on mothers day? So they told me, “well, you mother us and you aren’t controlling.” and I said, “Well, you don’t treat your little ones like she treated you.” and by and by, we all came out together, realizing what wonderful mothers we grew up to be. And a little more willing to accept the unnecessary martyrdom that was all our own mothers undoing.
Argh. I went off the deep end yesterday for about an hour. Im still feeling the self-loathing that results..

virginiahensley, that was beautiful.
Amazingly, my mom (a natal Pisces Moon) actually was in a good mood on Mother’s Day and only started going off on an angry rant once…directed towards my dead dad for fucking up MD like 20 years ago
