What it means

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, so a New Moon here mixes beginnings with endings. It favours rest, creative work, spiritual practice and compassion — for others and for yourself.

Pisces intentions work best when they are felt, not forced. Sleep, music, water, quiet and art help; so does letting go of a goal that no longer means anything to you.

A New Moon happens when the Moon and Sun meet in the same degree. The Moon is dark, and in astrology it marks the start of a monthly cycle: a quiet moment to choose a direction, set an intention or start something small. Results build over the next two weeks, up to the Full Moon in the same half of the zodiac's story. You do not need a ritual — a clear sentence about what you want to grow is enough.

The sky around this New Moon

A friendly angle to Uranus brings fresh ideas and welcome change. Neptune joins the lunation, making it dreamy and intuitive — and harder to see clearly. Saturn sits on this lunation, making it serious and practical: commitments, limits and long-term plans.

Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, is at 15°11′ Cancer at the moment of the New Moon. The house it falls in for you is where this lunation turns practical — see "by rising sign" below.

Nearby stations: Jupiter turns direct on March 10 at 15°05′ Cancer and Mercury turns direct on March 20 at 8°29′ Pisces. A planet standing still close to a lunation tends to make its themes louder for a few days.

Retrograde at this New Moon: Mercury. Their topics favour review and repair over brand-new launches.

Lunations in the same sign come in pairs about six months apart. What you start at this New Moon reaches its peak at the Full Moon in Pisces on August 28, 2026, at 4°54′ Pisces — a natural checkpoint for whatever you set in motion now.
