‘Now (Pisces new moon / season) is the time to tune into the incoming Neptunian frequency. All the planets are direct, nudging you to move forward with faith.’
Lorna Bevan, Hare in the Moon Astrology.
I spent much of this week holding strategy and clarity sessions, where a collective theme emerged among my clients around it being the right time for them to show up on social media in a new way. So as I sat with the energies of what I want to share with you this new moon, this idea of moving forward with faith really stood out to me.
In astrology, the sign of Pisces and the planet Neptune are often associated with heightened intuition, psychic abilities, and a connection to the spiritual realm. This energy is said to be more fluid, receptive, and dreamy compared to other signs, with Neptune also linked to creative expression, inspiration, and the imagination.
The energetic side of social media is a favourite topic of mine, as my work brings together the practical aspects of social media strategy and management with a Neptunian styled, spiritual and energetic approach. With almost twenty years working in this space, I have more case studies than I can question, and in my experience, faith plays a bigger part than many may imagine.
Faith sure is a subjective experience, but I hope that by sharing my experience of how I have seen it impact outcomes inspires and helps you to dive in with faith too.
I have seen faith give someone the motivation, focus, and resilience that helped them overcome many of the challenges posed by social media. For example, you are far more likely to take actions that align with your vision and goals, and stay consistent even when starting out with next to no followers or low engagement on posts, when you have faith in your mission, faith in yourself and faith in using social media as a platform to share your message. You show up for it in a different way.
I have often referred to this as having a Strategy of Love.
‘Remembering that fear is an energy that contracts (e.g. the social media vortex of doom) and love is an energy that expands, it is logical that having a strategy of love for your social media is going to help you to expand your message, your community and much more.
‘As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral... As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.” – Sara Paddison (author of The Hidden Power of the Heart: Discovering an Unlimited Source of Intelligence)
For the more sensitive amongst us, we can FEEL when content is coming from a place of fear or from the heart. Speaking to this, I’m very blessed that best-selling author Lisa Lister
is not only my friend, but editor of this book, and she sends me little updates on what’s working for her on social media... This text popped in a few weeks back:‘Reporting in, when I only post things on social media that feel fun + fill me up + are in alignment with my message (women, we’re cyclic + powerful and a reflection of mumma nature + the cosmos) I post WITH love + nourishment + it’s received that way too. Hurrah!’
But there have been times when I am working with clients and there is a need, or an expectation for a launch to go well, or to make a certain amount of money, which sends them into a fear dynamic. This fear energy then gets transmuted into the content they create, and you can sense this in the posts.

How do you keep the faith when it feels like you are posting into the abyss? By staying focused on your purpose, setting realistic expectations, engaging with your audience, experimenting with different types of content, and taking breaks when needed. Keep reminding yourself that it is a marathon and not a sprint, and TRUST in the divine timing of seeing your visions come to fruition. Have faith in the journey and the different seasons of your life, offline and on.
The frequency of faith works when you understand how we exchange information, ideas, and emotions, which online create an energetic resonance or vibration with our friends, followers and connections. I talk all the time about how research has proved that emotional and energetic contagion can influence others through social media, from the sender’s emotional state and the receiver’s susceptibility to emotional and energetic cues all having an impact. Feelings and frequencies are therefore transmitted and felt on differing conscious/unconscious levels throughout all content posted online.
Is it possible to have big numbers and still remember that it is real people on the other side of your screen, on the other side of your marketing? Of course it is. I see clients managing the dance of this very well when they use a strategy of love.
It can be as simple as having that reminder, the conscious awareness, that it is a real human being, a spirit, a soul who is receiving your information, your transmission, your content, your advert, your email, your blog, your posts.

Exploring and understanding this under a super new moon in Pisces could be a game changer for how you approach your social media content creation, the kind of online space you create and how you interact with others online.
It is really important that we understand this more deeply as we swim around as both givers and receivers in an ocean of information, this fluid and watery digital space. If you think about a body of water, things merge, dissolve and spread very easily. This is true of social media too. It truly is a sea SPACE, an energetic soup, a dimension which we enter in and out of throughout our day, and where the energies, emotions and frequencies we swim in have a much bigger impact on us individually and collectively than we realise.
This can be used for good – think ripple effect here – and yet we also know that it is being used for not-so-good – think fact checkers, nudge units and persuasive design. The digital wellbeing of self and society will only grow in importance over the coming years and as we deepen our understanding of how this all energetically affects us. Developing our intuition, our ability to read energy, to feel and share frequencies, amongst this booming artificial intelligence wave, the energy of Pisces calls on us to develop our emotional intelligence as a golden key in co-creating a new age.
As astrologer Francesca Oddie shares above about this new moon:
‘Don’t forget the power and importance of emotional energy for manifesting. If you give your dreams energy, if you stick to your visions and apply persistent routine, what could happen?’
