The April 15 New Moon at 26°02′ Aries Sign falls within Pisces Constellation (17° Pisces to 2° Taurus). Ruled by Neptune, this Constellation gives spirituality, idealism, empathy, intuition and dreaming; but also illusion, deception, weakness, confusion and vagueness. It rules mirrors, film, fog, mist, gases, anesthetics, drugs, altered states of consciousness, poison, hypnotism, socialism, welfare and communism.

In mundane astrology, Constellation Pisces portends events concerning the sea, especially those that affect the destiny of kings and large numbers of mankind. [1]

Fixed star Al Pherg at 27°03′ Aries Sign is the only star in Pisces Constellation used in astrology. Robson said it gives preparedness, steadiness, determination and final success. [2] This is a terrific star to have with a new moon. It means your fresh start or new project has a great chance of succeeding.

In medical astrology, fixed star Al Pherg rules the pineal gland. It makes sense then, that Dr. Morse said this is a star of mysteries to be revealed to us, about ourselves, our distant origins and our Creator. It gives ready access to, and understanding of, what the Church loves to call ‘The Mysteries’. [3]
