The Tamesis
After the eye-opening Total Lunar Eclipse on March 3, we will be entering a more peaceful and introspective time with the New Moon in Pisces on March 18. Astrologer Bérénice Delignat is here to guide us in understanding the energy of the New Moon and the emotional reset rituals we need to perform as we apply everything we learned last month.
What will the new moon bring?
Narrated by Deligner Fashion, “The New Moon in Pisces kicks off a cycle of deep introspection. Unlike lunar phases that push us to move quickly or make decisions, this new moon acts like a gentle tide, inviting us to slow down, feel and reconnect with something bigger than our hearts.”
The New Moon also occurs at a key time in the astrological calendar: the Sun enters Aries. This traditionally marks the start of the astrological year and is a time to connect with yourself. “The dominant energy of Pisces creates a more intuitive and emotional atmosphere,” she adds. “You may feel less analytical and more focused on how you feel.”
Uranus in Taurus is a real trigger for this, as it disrupts our relationship with security, habits, and the fear of scarcity. This destructive planet prompts us to let go of attachments that no longer serve us and start a new, freer cycle.
“There is a silent space within each of us that has been known. In this space, the soul remembers that life is not only about the things we have control over, but also about the things we choose to experience with confidence,” Deligna continued. “When we slow down and listen to the space, something calms down. We realize that we are not alone in carrying our lives, and that the Divine is also working through us, often in unseen places.”
The soul needs to be open, and sometimes the greatest wisdom lies in trusting the path that unfolds step by step.
Which zodiac signs are most affected?
“Water signs—Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio—will especially feel the emotional and intuitive intensity of this new moon,” Deligner says. “Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius may also experience important realizations as this energy disrupts their usual reference points and ways of controlling situations.”
What rituals should you perform to tap into these energies?
Deligner recommends taking a moment to journal about the things in your life that you’re still trying to control. Then, she says, “Ask yourself honestly, ‘Is it really protecting me, or is it holding me back?’ Close your eyes for a few minutes and imagine releasing those tensions into the water…and let them dissolve.”
Once that’s done, Delignat says, “write down this new cycle with a single intention: something simple, consistent, that will bring you closer to your inner truth,” because sometimes transformation comes from what we finally agree to let go of.
