NEW MOON IN PISCES – FEBRUARY 28, 2025✨🌙♓
“In Heaven’’
This is the final lunar cycle of the astrological year, ushering in the first eclipses and opening one of the most transformative and healing gateways we have ever crossed.
With an extraordinary planetary gathering in Pisces and the fact that this will be the last New Moon in Pisces with Neptune, its ruler, still in its home sign, and the North Node sealing its significance, this lunar event becomes a rare initiation into the mysteries and alchemy of life. It marks the last revelation before the next step forward.
By the time this lunar cycle completes, we will no longer be the same. We will have understood that chaos, pain, and darkness are integral parts of our human experience, that light inevitably follows periods of darkness, and that nothing is truly fixed or permanent, everything is in constant flux, governed by the eternal law of opposites.
Under the alignment of planets and the upcoming eclipse, this sign of Pisces undergoes a profound recalibration. There is immense evolutionary pressure for progress, and anything that does not flow must come to completion.
In the area of your chart illuminated by this New Moon, you are allowed to transmute pain, overcome weaknesses, integrate your shadows, find forgiveness and redemption,and release obstacles that have been keeping you from your dreams. This marks the closing of a chapter so that a new beginning can emerge,one filled with renewed purpose, hope, and meaning.
In the abyss of this New Moon, occurring at 9°40’ Pisces on February 28 at 2:44 AM (Greece time), you are called to plant the seed of your intention with faith, nurture it, pray for it, and envision it as already blossomed.
This is the quintessence of Pisces. the power of boundless faith and unconditional love that allows us to trust, transcend, and manifest miracles, big or small. It is an energy that connects us to higher dimensions, inspires us, offers divine guidance, and reveals pathways through an ocean of infinite possibilities.
Everything is possible under this New Moon, especially if you have astrological placements between 6°–13° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces). And it will also support you if have placements in Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, and Scorpio within these degrees.
The key is to keep your heart open, listen to the voice of your intuition, and be willing to release old versions of yourself that keep you trapped in cycles of repetition. Only then can you align with the true path of your soul.
The seed planted now will undergo the transformative passage of the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14 2025 and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 2025,potentially yielding outcomes beyond your expectations and setting in motion long-term changes. Meanwhile these days until March 1, all planets are direct, providing a unique window of opportunity to move forward with greater ease, accelerating matters that were previously stagnant.
Despite the Neptunian influence, which may make you feel lost, exhausted, or uncertain, nothing in this lunar cycle is random. The events and people entering your life, the choices you make,all are part of a greater plan, guiding you exactly where you need to be.
Mars turns direct on February 24 and is slowly regaining speed after leaving its stationary degree at 17° Cancer. This signals a gradual return of motivation, action, and progress. However, with Mars currently out-of-bounds, its influence is particularly intense, making us more reactive, defensive, and protective of what we hold dear, our home, family, and sense of security. Since December 6, when Mars was in Leo, and especially from January 6 in Cancer, its retrograde motion has surfaced suppressed emotions, vulnerable wounds, and fateful events, prompting deep reflection on what truly matters and what needs strengthening and healing.
Now is the time to reposition ourselves, reconnect with our inner drives, and act with greater awareness and authenticity, honoring our desires with newfound confidence and clarity, especially as Mars harmonizes with Saturn.
The New Moon forms a square with Jupiter, its traditional ruler, creating a field of contradictions and uncertainty, heightening the struggle between mind and heart, faith and doubt.
Under Jupiter’s expansive touch, we may fall for illusions, set unrealistic expectations, or get lost in a labyrinth of choices and dilemmas that test our consciousness and lead to disappointment. However, an unexpected revelation may lift the veil of confusion. Meanwhile, Jupiter’s sextile to Venus in Aries keeps doors open for fresh experiences, fortunate encounters, and connections that bring renewal and growth. This aspect infuses optimism and acts as a catalyst for love, relationships, finances, and creative endeavors, especially benefiting those in the early degrees of fire and air signs.
Just before the New Moon, Mercury at 21° Pisces aligns with Saturn (February 25), bringing clarity and the certainty needed to recognize what is truly valuable and commit to it long-term. The Sabian symbol for this conjunction represents the purity and innocence within us, holding the greatest potential for a fresh start. At the time of the New Moon, Mercury will be at 25° Pisces, another degree emphasizing purification and renewal. Additionally, the degree of the upcoming Lunar Eclipse highlights themes of innocence and vulnerability, implying that issues concerning youth, children, and animals may come to the forefront, possibly needing attention and protection.
A fresh perspective, uplifting news, and innovative ideas inspire and bring solutions to arise as Mercury sextiles Uranus (February 27). As Mercury advances to its conjunction with Neptune at 29° Pisces (March 2), our access to higher truths expands, enabling us to see beyond the obvious and grasp subtle, deeper messages. The degree of this conjunction reminds us that there is not just one absolute truth—there are multiple perspectives through which reality can be understood.
The Sabian symbol for this New Moon, “An Aviator in the Clouds,” describes the ability to transcend limitations and expand our awareness while maintaining control over our journey. It is an invitation to soar to new heights, gain greater vision, and navigate life with clarity and mastery.
We are approaching the end of Neptune’s journey through Pisces, which began in 2011. As we near its transition into Aries, the waves of healing and care intensify. Like tides bringing hidden matters to the surface, we may witness global themes related to illness, substances, pharmaceuticals, addiction, and mental health. The waters of the Earth may also signal warnings. Yet within this time of vision and idealism, art and spirituality are reborn, guiding the soul toward new realms of inspiration and transformation. Humanity, too, is increasingly turning to alternative healing, psychological introspection, and solidarity.
In this lunar cycle, we are more sensitive, compassionate, and intuitive than ever before. We can perceive and feel everything on a deeper level. And in this awareness, we are reminded that we are not alone in facing uncertainty, chaos, pain, or loss. We are all swimming together in the great ocean of life, needing each other’s strength and support.
Now is the time to surrender to the flow of trust, plant new seeds of hope, and do our best, knowing that the Source, the heart of miracles, has always been within us.
Wishing you all a blessed New Moon!✨🌙🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
