The New Moon in Pisces occurs on February 27 at 4:45 PM Pacific Time and 7:45 PM Eastern Time. As the second New Moon of 2025, the focus is shifting towards growing and expanding our lives. For the first time in months, no planets are retrograde during the lunar event, allowing us to relish in the positive energy that is coming our way. 

Jupiter in Gemini squares the New Moon, magnifying our sentiments and allowing us to expand our horizons. As a result of this lunation, so many opportunities will become available and abundant, enabling us to seek new ventures and projects. Don't hold yourself back. Let yourself swim to freedom, go with the flow, take a chance, and see where you land. The odds of greatness are in your favor. But you'll never know unless you try.

The same day, Mercury in Pisces harmonizes with Uranus in Taurus, encouraging us to embrace our uniqueness and individuality. We’ll want to forge our paths and be trailblazers. Most importantly, it dictates our fate and future. With Venus retrograde in Aries commencing in two days, we might lack the confidence to leap. However, it’s necessary to trust the process and enchant our lives to make the most of the New Moon.

At the time of the New Moon, five planets will be in the water sign Pisces, creating a stellium (a cluster of planets in the same sign): the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune. Since these planets focus on adhering to boundaries, intuition, and sentimentality, achieving a secure foundation in these areas of life might be challenging. Our emotions will be high, and we will find it hard to see past the illusions and fog, closing our eyes to reality. Staying grounded is essential, so keeping our feelings in check when the tides become rapturous is necessary. We may also be exhausted from absorbing the communal energy, which is why self-care is vital.

The fixed star Skat aligns with the New Moon, enhancing our visions and emotions. It gives us the strength and tenacity to overcome obstacles and roadblocks. Nothing can stop us from pursuing our destiny if we believe in our visions as our hearts will lead the way. 

New Moon Ritual

This is a magical time to manifest our dreams. Take a transformative bath to wash away uncertainty and doubt. It’ll enable us to transform our lives and bring in amazing energy. To do so, we’ll need to add 1 cup of Himalayan sea salt, water lily and orchid petals (they are the flower of Pisces), while burning frankincense incense. As you draw the bath and place ingredients in the water, create a sacred space with candles and music while stating the intentions you wish to bring to life.
