The sun has entered the enchanting sign of Pisces, and it’s as if the universe is asking us to pause and reflect on everything we’ve experienced—what we’ve learned, what we’ve outgrown, and what we are ready to release. This celestial season invites us to dive into the depths of our emotions, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to reconnect with our spirituality.
A time for healing and returning to ourselves, open your heart to the magic of this mutable water season, as it is here to cleanse your spirit.
On Feb. 27, at exactly 7:45 p.m. ET, a new moon arrives just in time for a much-needed reset. Renewing itself at 9 degrees of this mystical water sign, this lunation marks the perfect moment for reflection, release, and renewal. It also happens to be the last new moon before the astrological new year.
The new moon phase marks the beginning of a brand-new lunar cycle, setting the stage for a fresh chapter of spiritual awakening and personal transformation. This is a time to pause, take a deep breath, and allow ourselves the sacred space to reflect on all we've moved through over the past twelve months.
The last sign of the zodiac, Pisces’ archetype is deeply emotional, intuitive, and spiritual—reminding us that sometimes, we need to let go of what no longer serves us in order to make room for what truly aligns with our soul's path.
This lunation is no different, as it invites us to return to our essence, connect with the divine within, and gently surrender the burdens and baggage we've been carrying around. It's a call to clear away the energetic clutter from our mind, heart and spirit so that we can step into a space of peace and potential.
In addition to its innate mysticism, the essence of Pisces offers us the opportunity to embrace our own vulnerability, our deepest feelings, and our innermost desires. During this time, we are called to listen to our intuition with kindness and to hold space for ourselves as we gently move away from what no longer resonates with our soul's frequency.
As we surrender the old, we create space for new beginnings that will unfold once Aries season arrives, as this fiery energy catapults into a new phase of our journey.

Moreover, with the beginning of eclipse season just around the corner, this new moon serves as a prelude to the Virgo lunar eclipse that will occur two weeks from now. That said, the energy we begin to cultivate will come into greater focus during the eclipse (and the six months that follow), revealing the deeper layers of clarity and culmination we’ve been seeking.
A magical Pisces stellium—Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node—amplifies this new moon energy, making it a powerful time to reassess our spiritual path, clear away old emotional baggage, and prepare ourselves for the changes that are coming. (...Because, trust me when I say, big changes are afoot!)
This new moon isn’t just about what we’re releasing but also about tuning into the energies of forgiveness, compassion, and trust. It’s a reminder to have faith in the mysteries of the universe and the future that we can’t yet comprehend.
Transiting the final degrees of this water sign, Neptune in Pisces encourages us to trust the unknown and surrender to the ebb and flow of the universe. Sometimes, we don't have all the answers, and that's okay. This is a time to embrace the void and honor the pauses between the moments, for it is in these void-like spaces that our intuition and healing can ultimately flourish.
During this lunation, Mars (officially direct in Cancer, finally!) will harmonize with Saturn in Pisces, offering us a stabilizing force to help calm the emotional waves we have to navigate. This supportive synergy beckons us to face the emotions we've been repressing, to nurture ourselves as we release old patterns, and to find grounding amidst any uncertainty we may feel in the process.
What have you outgrown? What is ready to be released in order to make space for the dreams that are yearning to be born? This new moon is your invitation to align with your soul’s highest purpose, to forgive the past, and to trust the magic of what lies ahead. Let this be a time of surrender and openness as you prepare for the powerful shifts that await you in the next phase of your journey.
Read on for what the new moon in Pisces has in store for you — along with a new moon affirmation — according to your zodiac sign.

You may feel an urge to retreat or pull back a bit as you process all that’s been stirring beneath the surface. This is a time for deep reflection—perfect for journaling, meditating, or allowing your intuitive insights to flow. Maybe you’ve been grappling with an old wound or emotional story that’s ready to be released. It’s time to surrender it to the divine. New Moon Affirmation: I trust the whispers of my soul; I trust that each step forward is illuminated by the light of my inner knowing.

This is a great time for spiritual expansion—consider meditation, reading sacred texts, or even planning a journey that takes you outside of your comfort zone.

This new moon asks you to let go of old thought patterns or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from true self-expression. Whether it’s a habit of overthinking or feeling misunderstood, now is the time to clear the air. Perhaps it’s time to start that new project or open yourself up to new ways of connecting with others.

Aquarius
What have you outgrown, Aquarius? Are there old financial habits or material attachments that no longer resonate with your soul’s path?

This is a time for healing your relationship with money and learning to trust that what you need will always be provided when you’re in alignment with your highest self. Luna invites you to let go of old attachments and make space for new values that support your personal growth. New Moon Affirmation: I am supplied for today and all of my tomorrows; I release the beliefs around money and possessions that no longer serve me.
