New Moon in Pisces

Musings

As we cycle through the astrological year, planets change signs, move forwards, move backwards and create different patterns and clusters within the Zodiac. Now frequently they are just plonked about the chart willy nilly, but for the New Moon in February, we have a cluster of planets in Pisces. Today I’m particularly focusing on the New Moon in Pisces on February the 27th and have shown the chart for this set for Vancouver. And you will also notice that this is a bowl chart once more underlining the concentration vibe of this chart where all the planets are in within (less than) an opposition between Pluto and Mars. Although it’s not an opposition per se, it’s less than it’s an even tighter grouping in the bowl.

Pisces in My Life

Family

Personally, I don’t often come across Pisces people as friends, or clients, because their Sun is quincunx to my Sun. So there is always a slightly, dare I say irritating, energy between their Pisces Sun and my Leo Sun. However, my family had different ideas. 

In my household, both my mother and my father were Sun Pisces with birthdays on the 18th and 19th of March respectively. Additionally, my one and only sister is also a Pisces, born on February 26th. And one of my three daughters is a Pisces too and her birthday is on March the 5th. 

This just makes Pisces one of those signs that I tend to know quite a bit about because I’ve seen these people in action, close up and personal. And let me tell you, a lot of what goes on happens at the shoe shop. I thought it would be thought-provoking this week to discuss this high concentration of five planets, plus one point, in Pisces, which will really only happen for a swift day or two as the Moon transits the sign of the Fish.

A New Beginning

Mystical Waters

The New Moon on February 27, 2025, occurs at 9° Pisces, ushering in a fresh lunar cycle infused with intuition, dreams and emotional depth. While New Moons happen every month, marking a time of renewal and setting New Moon Wishing, this particular lunation is uniquely powerful due to an extraordinary planetary alignment in the sign of Pisces.

A Concentration of Pisces Energy

In astrology, we track the movement of ten celestial bodies, from the Sun to Pluto and sometimes include Chiron, a minor planet associated with healing. During this New Moon, a remarkable five of these planets will be in Pisces, making this a significant cosmic event. Pisces is the final sign of the Zodiac, symbolizing completion, surrender and spiritual awakening. When a cluster of planets gathers in one sign, their combined influence amplifies that sign’s themes. In this case, the watery, mutable and deeply intuitive nature of Pisces is emphasized, creating an atmosphere rich with creativity, mysticism and emotional sensitivity.

The Five Planets in Pisces

Quintet

At the moment of this New Moon, the following planets will be transiting Pisces:

• The Sun: Illuminating Pisces’ themes of imagination, spirituality and compassion.
• The Moon: Aligning our emotions with Piscean energies, enhancing intuition and inner reflection.
• Saturn: Bringing a structured or karmic element to this otherwise fluid and dreamy sign.
• Mercury: Encouraging intuitive communication and deep inner thinking.
• Neptune: The ruler of Pisces, heightening dreams, visions and spiritual awareness.

Concentration

This concentration of planetary energy in Pisces makes this an ideal time for creative pursuits, meditation, healing and emotional introspection. However, it can also bring sharp sensitivity, blurred boundaries and potential confusion, so grounding practices will be beneficial.

The North Node and Upcoming Eclipse

Eclipse

Adding another layer of significance, the North Node will be at 27° Pisces, aligning with this lunation in preparation for an upcoming Aries eclipse in March. The North Node represents destiny and soul growth, suggesting that this New Moon may set the stage for important shifts in collective consciousness and personal spiritual development. With such an intense Pisces influence, this period encourages us to trust our intuition, embrace our dreams and flow with the cosmic currents rather than resisting them.

Pisces Tenants

Let’s take a closer look at this concentration of Piscean energy.

The Sun in Pisces

Intuition

When the Sun is in Pisces, people are deeply intuitive, imaginative and compassionate. Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune, giving these people a dreamy, artistic and often mystical quality. They have a natural affinity for the spiritual, the unseen and the emotional depths of life.

Empathetic

People with the Sun in Pisces are empathetic and tend to absorb the energy of those around them, this makes them sensitive to their environment. They often have a strong creative streak, excelling in music, poetry, art and storytelling. However, their emotional depth can sometimes make them prone to escapism, as they seek refuge in fantasies, daydreams, ghosting or even unhealthy habits.

Spiritual

At their best, they are healers, visionaries and artists who bring beauty and compassion to the world. Sun in Pisces people’s challenge is to set healthy boundaries and stay grounded while embracing their deep emotional and spiritual nature.

The Moon in Pisces

Sensitivity

The Moon represents emotions, instincts and inner needs and when placed in Pisces, it enhances sensitivity, intuition and emotional depth. People with this placement feel everything on a profound level and may have psychic or intuitive abilities.

Absorbing

Their emotions are fluid, often changing like the tides and they can easily pick up on the moods of others. This makes Moon in Pisces people highly compassionate and nurturing but also they cab be susceptible to emotional overwhelm. Lunar Pisceans may need alone time to recharge, as they can absorb too much from their surroundings.

Meditation

This placement is excellent for artistic expression, as they channel their emotions into music, poetry, painting, or other creative outlets. However, Lunar Fish folk must be mindful of avoiding escapism through substances, fantasy, or emotional withdrawal. Meditation, spiritual practices and grounding techniques are likely to help them maintain emotional balance.

Saturn in Pisces

Reality vs Imagination

Saturn represents structure, discipline and responsibility, when Saturn is in Pisces is a dreamy and fluid sign. This combination brings a lesson in balancing reality with imagination. People with Saturn in Pisces may struggle with self-doubt, fears of the unknown, or feeling disconnected from reality.

The Call to Serve

This placement often leads to a deep sense of responsibility toward spiritual, artistic, or healing pursuits. These people may feel a strong duty to serve others, but they perhaps need to learn to set boundaries to avoid becoming easily overwhelmed. They might also experience challenges in trusting their intuition or in clearly defining their personal and professional goals.

Practical Spirituality

Over time, Saturn in Pisces teaches the importance of structure within creativity and spirituality. When mastered, this placement allows for disciplined artistic expression, practical spirituality and their ability to bring their dreams into reality in a tangible way.

Mercury in Pisces

Abstract Thoughts

Mercury governs communication, thinking and perception and while it is Pisces it is intuitive, imaginative and dreamy. People with Mercury in Pisces think in patterns, symbols, emotions and abstract concepts rather than rigid logic. Their communication style is poetic, expressive and often deeply emotional.

Storytelling and Fairy Tales

Mercurial Pisceans may be excellent storytellers, musicians, or visual artists, as they can convey deep emotions through their chosen medium. Yet, their thought processes can sometimes be scattered and they may struggle with the details or analytical tasks.  They tend to rely on gut feelings rather than logic, which can make decision-making perplexing.

Spiritual Messages

Mercury in Pisces people thrive in creative and spiritual fields but may need to work on grounding their thoughts and being clear in communication, as they can sometimes be vague, confused or misunderstood. Writing, journaling and meditation will most likely help to bring them clarity to their thoughts.

Neptune in Pisces

Dignified

Neptune is the modern ruling planet of Pisces (Jupiter is the traditional ruler) and when it is in its home sign, its influence is super strong. This placement enhances intuition, spirituality, creativity and compassion on a collective level.

What Goes Unsaid

People born with Neptune in Pisces are deeply connected to the mystical and unseen realms. They may have natural psychic abilities, clairvoyance or a strong interest in spiritual practices like meditation, crystal ball reading, or energy healing. Their imagination is vast, making them gifted artists, musicians and visionaries.

Seek Grounding

However, the placement of Neptune in Pisces also brings trials surrounding illusions, deception and escapism. It can blur the lines between reality and fantasy, making it easy to become lost in daydreams or unhealthy habits. Developing discernment and grounding practices is crucial for those with Neptune in Pisces.

Collective Healing

On a global scale, Neptune in Pisces influences artistic and spiritual awakenings, inspiring movements focused on compassion, unity and collective healing.

Overarch

It’s not every month that we come across a group of planets which is almost half of the plants available in one sign, but when you do it does add an overarching theme to the period.
