Pisces New Moon 2025: Minor Planet Report

Basic details and main features

Pisces New Moon: 28th February 2025, 00:44 UTC, 9+ Pisces

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces symbolically represents the last stage in the journey from individual to collective, from mortal to divine; though in practice it is virtually never that simple. Multiple cycles must pass, numerous quests undertaken, before we susceptible humans are ready to shrug off our material attachments and don the cloak of eternal light and wisdom.

Like all the signs, Pisces contains its own supports and pitfalls. At its best, it facilitates our connection to the best of ourselves, of life, spirit and the sacred, putting aside the demands of ego to clear the path to enlightenment. In its less exalted forms, it can sow confusion, substituting the artificial and simplistic for the real and complex, lies for fundamental truths.

There is a large selection of bodies in Pisces at this lunation, which implies we need to take extra care when trying to discern what is real. As when Mercury is retrograde, now is likely a good time to double-check our information and keep the facts close at hand. This New Moon also occurs in a tight semi-square to Eris, reminding us that self-knowledge and following our inner truth may help clear up any mist in our line of vision. Meanwhile, Venus in Aries is perhaps a reminder that love and vulnerability too are forms of courage.

Pisces New Moon: Keeping the Dream Alive

Tomorrow's New Moon in Pisces is surrounded by a mass of celestial points, which seems reminiscent of a crowd huddled together, waiting - for change, for a message, for the next shoe to drop, etc. In some circumstances, that is indeed all one can do, and we are often primed to consider the great acts that forge future epochs as beyond our reach.

Yet in among this large astrological grouping are markers* that indicate very lucidly our agency and power, and our ability to wield them - especially if we work together.

 Whatever else can be said about Saturn, he definitely has ways of keeping us grounded. During the past five years, while the beautiful planet has travelled through his own domain of Capricorn and Aquarius, we've had a pretty solid dose of reality hit us on a variety of fronts. The effects of global warming are evident. Covid has provided a sharp reminder about the fragility of life. And despite the overabundance of misinformation online waiting to pounce on virtually every mouse click, the dark money machinations and tyrannical ambitions behind it are now much better understood. So it'll be interesting to see how matters shift once Saturn enters Pisces on 7th March.

It seems to me that, while we do not always use them to best effect, the gifts of the heavens unfailingly arrive in timely fashion. Certainly we needed that injection of realism following the chaos of 2016. I would suggest, however, that the ongoing journey of Saturn into new domains is also, at this moment, requisite.
