New Moon in Pisces

On March 18th, the New Moon in Pisces will arrive, inviting us into a deeply spiritual and reflective new beginning.

This is the beginning of the end, as New Moons mark the start of something new, but Pisces stands as the final sign of the Zodiac. Meaning, this New Moon in Pisces encourages us to release the past, surrender our control, and trust the unseen currents that are guiding us forward.

As the last New Moon before the Spring Equinox and the Astrological New Year, this New Moon carries the feeling of closing a chapter before a new one can begin. This is like a cosmic everything shower, encouraging us to wash away and release, before we begin again.

Under this New Moon, we’ll feel called to rest, heal, forgive, release what we cannot control, and allow space for faith and inspiration to lead the way. This time may feel emotionally overwhelming, as we’re flooded with memories of last year. Pisces gently washes away what no longer belongs with us as we prepare to step into a new beginning.

This New Moon in Pisces arrives on the last day of the Astrological Year, and encourages us to reflect on everything we’ve experienced over the past year. We can navigate this time by grounding ourselves, meditating, journaling, attuning to our intuition, and strengthening our emotional foundation. Doing so will help us renew our relationship with the mystery that life has planned for us.

What makes this New Moon especially powerful is the extraordinary concentration of energy in Pisces at the time of its arrival.

The Sun, Moon, Mercury Retrograde, Mars, Pallas, Vesta, and the North Node will all be traveling through Pisces, creating a powerful stellium that amplifies themes of healing, surrender, compassion, spirituality, and emotional awareness.

With so much Piscean energy, we’re encouraged to slow down, listen more than we speak, and connect with our intuitive wisdom. The invisible boundaries between the conscious and subconscious may feel thinner now, allowing us to receive insights from our dreams, memories, and emotions more easily than we usually can.

This New Moon in Pisces will form a conjunction with Neptune and a sextile with both Uranus and Juno.

The conjunction with Neptune in Aries helps awaken creative vision and a renewed sense of faith, inspiring us to pursue what resonates with our soul.

The sextile with Uranus in Taurus encourages meaningful opportunities for change, freedom from stagnation, & helps us embrace new ways to create stability, security, and self-worth within our lives.

The sextile with Juno in Capricorn highlights themes of commitment and long-term partnership, inspiring us to deepen our loyalty and dedication to our relationships, goals, and responsibilities that feel aligned with our values and long-term vision.

The New Moon in Pisces is ruled by both Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter in Cancer amplifies our need for comfort, security, belonging, and emotional protection. With Jupiter exalted, the emotional and intuitive currents surrounding this lunation heighten. Their relative trine helps us trust our emotional instincts, honor what brings us feelings of comfort, and support our internal growth during this time.

Again, Neptune in Aries adds a visionary quality to this time, encouraging us to follow our instincts, believe in the possibilities, and pursue spiritual or creative callings with courage.

Together, this New Moon inspires us to trust what we cannot yet fully see.

Mercury Retrograde doesn’t station direct until a few hours after this New Moon. Cosmically, and poetically, I feel this is intentional. The timing inspires us to keep the blindfold on just a little bit longer, listen to our intuition, trust our instincts, and allow emotions to flow freely.

Additionally, we officially close out our first Eclipse Season of the calendar year with this New Moon. Here, we release old versions of ourselves, let go of what we cannot control, and embrace the version of ourselves we are becoming.

Another layer that makes this New Moon especially meaningful is the degree at which it arrives.

Since October 2025, every single New Moon has occurred at 28°, a late, karmic degree that carries a sense of culmination and emotional gravity.

These lunations have been quietly unfolding an ongoing story in our lives that’s asked us to process, feel, and evolve the emotional personal experiences we’ve been surviving.

In degree theory, the 28° is ruled by Cancer. Meaning, these New Moons are all linked to themes of emotional stability, security, belonging, home, family, memory, and the ways we both protect and nurture ourselves.

The first in this sequence was the New Moon in Libra at 28°, which formed a square to Jupiter in Cancer. That moment most likely coincided with the start of the story that’s concluding soon. It would have been then, when emotional challenges or conflicts around relationships, boundaries, home life, or the balance between caring for ourselves and caring for others were introduced.

Since then, every sequential 28° New Moon has continued weaving a thread through that same emotional landscape. We’ve slowly been guided through the Cancerian themes that Jupiter has been expanding in our lives, through moments of realization & adjustment.

Now, this week’s New Moon in Pisces at 28° brings that cycle to a meaningful, healing, turning point. Rather than forming a square, this lunation will trine Jupiter in Cancer, creating a harmonious flow of emotional understanding, compassion, and growth.

What has been feeling tense, uncertain, or overwhelming since last October can finally start to feel understood and integrated.

In many ways, this New Moon acts like the closing chapter of a long emotional arc. The story that began with tension now arrives at a place of acceptance, wisdom, and emotional clarity.

It reminds us that the challenges we’ve been navigating weren’t random; they were part of a larger process.

We have been learning how to mature, care for, comfort, and nurture ourselves. We now want to protect what matters most and create a deeper sense of belonging in our lives. As this final 28° New Moon arrives in Pisces, we’re offered the chance to release the emotional weight of the past several months.

The key to navigating this time will be to trust that the healing, growth, & understanding we’ve gained will guide us into the next Astrological New Year with more emotional strength and compassion.
