THE NEW MOON IN PISCES
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The new moon in Pisces occurs on March 10th at 2:00 AM Pacific Standard Time and 5:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. This is the last new moon of winter and occurs right before the upcoming eclipse season begins on March 17th during the first quarter moon in Gemini (the lunar eclipse occurs on March 25th and the solar eclipse occurs on April 8th). The new moon will propel us into the last days of the season before the Astrological New Year, and Spring Equinox commences on March 19th.
What makes this new moon unique is that it is a supermoon, meaning that it is closer to our planet than other lunations, and being that this is the biggest supermoon of 2024, our feelings will be felt on a deeper level than ever when the moon is in perigee to earth.
This new moon connects with the planet Uranus in Taurus, as well as Black Moon Lilith in Virgo and the asteroid Vesta who's currently in Gemini. The convergence of these cosmic forces will compel us to break free from old habits and embrace new perspectives. We are transforming our lives, unapologetically expressing our truest emotions and thoughts. Though others may not understand our drive to break free from the chains that bind us, it is crucial to accept ourselves and become the people we were destined to be.
On the same day, Mercury in Aries will harmonize with Pluto, who is currently in Aquarius. This planetary alignment provides an opportunity for us to connect with our intentions during this new moon phase and propel them forward. As we move forward, our manifestations will gain strength and lead us towards our next vision. Words hold immense power, so it's essential to be mindful of what we think and feel to set our desires and dreams into motion.
Since Venus is at the late degree of Aquarius, the planet of love, beauty, and confidence will enter Pisces the next day. It's important to focus on ourselves rather than others, and not to feel as though we have to push things forward immediately. Be mindful that growth comes in steps, and today is a moment in which we can move forward and plant the seeds for the future.
