Got Allergies? You Definitely Should Wash Your Pillow Way More Often—Here’s the Best Way To Do It

You can rest easy knowing you’ve put the germs to bed. The astrology of March ushers in the start of Aries season, which aligns with the spring equinox and the astrological new year. This year, the month also brings us into the throws of eclipse season, adding some drama to the mix. But fortunately, there’s calm before the storm thanks to the new moon in Pisces on March 10, 2024, at 4:59 a.m. EDT.

As the final zodiac sign, Pisces has profound lessons to share. Ruled by expansive Jupiter, the sign is able to see the big-picture view, and how our individual wants and needs, joys and sorrows, are all interconnected. In turn, a new moon in Pisces encourages us to show compassion and dignity toward ourselves and others.

Given that Pisces is associated with the 12th house of the inner psyche, the sign also reminds us that we need to feel our feelings in order to process and heal them. This is the time for facing the wounds or tough emotions you’ve been keeping on lock.

It’s an ideal moment for considering what is no longer working in your life and clearing the clutter before the new cycle begins in Aries season.

Under this new moon in Pisces, you may also have a heightened awareness over your subconscious mind or a stronger sense of intuition. It’s an ideal moment for considering what is no longer working in your life and clearing the clutter before the new cycle begins in Aries season. Ask yourself: What (or whom) have I outgrown, and how can I let it go?

When is the new moon in Pisces?

The new moon in Pisces perfects at 4:59 a.m. EDT on March 10, 2024. But we’ll be able to feel the Piscean energy in the air during the hours just before and after its arrival, which also comes right after the clocks will “spring forward” for daylight saving time.

What is the astrological meaning of a new moon?

A new moon happens when the sun and the moon line up in the same zodiac sign, with the moon right between the Earth and the sun. The moon itself appears darkened in the night sky, barely visible beneath the Earth’s shadow.

This moon phase starts the monthly lunar cycle, which is why, in astrology, it symbolizes a time of releasing all that which has reached its expiration date in your life, and starting fresh. In turn, new moons are considered lucky periods for setting intentions and goals.

What can you expect from the new moon in Pisces in March 2024?

This year’s new moon in Pisces encourages you to dream big and consider what you might’ve once told yourself was impossible. It sits in close conjunction with Neptune, the modern-day planetary ruler of Pisces and a planet associated with creativity, imagination, spirituality, compassion, and illusion. There is an otherworldly quality to this lunation that can fill you with both inspiration and big feelings. This is beautiful energy for exploring your fantasies and desires, and mining your imagination for your next creative urge.

There is an otherworldly quality to this lunation that can fill you with both inspiration and big feelings.

While Neptune’s energy can be easy to romanticize, note that it can also lead to cloudy thinking and paranoia. This isn’t the best energy for solidifying anything, whether it’s a work contract or a new relationship. It’s best to be curious about topics and conversations that hold your attention today, but wait to make important decisions until the next few days, when the moon gains more light (if possible).

After all, there’s also a tinge of unpredictable energy in the air as the new moon arrives; the day before, Mars in Aquarius clashes with Uranus in Taurus. You may feel tempted to act rashly—but you can harness this energy to embark down a new path instead.

Fittingly, the new moon in Pisces in March 2024 will also mingle with innovator Uranus in Taurus, generating inspiration or welcome surprises when you least expect it. This energy is lively and encouraging, but will require you to make choices that are outside of your norm or comfort zone to find healing, growth, or solutions to problems.

On the same day as the new moon in Pisces, Mercury in Aries also syncs up with Pluto in Aquarius, adding a layer of depth and vulnerability to your conversations. This is a powerful planetary combo for transmuting past pain and for feeling empowered and proud of how far you’ve come.

To get a clearer picture of how this healing energy will affect you, read on for your sun, moon, and rising signs. Then, pick up a unique self-care practice to help you move through the March 2024 new moon in Pisces with more balance.

You might feel like you’ve temporarily lost your tether to reality, Aries, as the new moon lands in your 12th astrological house of subconsciousness, closure, and healing. Perhaps you’re called to nurture your relationship with your intuition, or you experience an aha moment in one of your dreams.

Big feelings may also emerge as you explore what’s been left unsaid and reflect on people, situations, or behaviors that you’re ready to release. It takes courage to process your past, and ultimately, your willingness to do so will foster a deeper sense of confidence and security from within.

Your new moon self-care practice: Take it slow today. How can you pamper yourself? Engaging in self care and spending time alone can recharge you. Resist any FOMO that pops up, and choose your well-being first.
