Manifesting With The New Moon in Pisces

New Moons are a time of planting fresh seeds and initiating new cycles. A New Moon in Pisces is an especially good one for allowing your dreams to lead the way and tap into your intuition.

Whether you are seeking to start a small habit over the course of one lunar cycle (28 days) or a longer-term goal over 6 months until the corresponding Full Moon in Pisces during Virgo Season, working with the magic of the Moon allows for a deepening of connection to yourself and the cosmos.

What is a New Moon, spiritually?

New Moons are when the Sun and Moon visually align in the sky in the same Zodiac Sign, “conjunct“ by exact degree (e.g. both at 4º Pisces). It occurs in the Zodiac Season of that Sign (i.e. in this case, 4 days into Pisces Season, between the end of February and March).

As this is final Season of the Astrological Year before we begin afresh in with the Spring Equinox and Aries Season, it can be a useful time to shed and release anything you wish to let go of from the previous cycle and begin looking ahead to the new.

While the Zodiac Seasons occur at roughly the same time each year as the Sun moves about 1º per day, the exact date of the New Moon (or corresponding Full Moon in the opposing Zodiac Sign Season more or less six months later) will vary.

As the Sun and Moon are aligned on a New Moon, it is the start of a cycle— a yin period of introspection and planting of seeds. When there appears to be no Moon in the sky and the night is dark, it is time to turn within for our light.

-> When they square each other, at a 90º angle, roughly a week later, is the time for taking first major action on the intentions we set now!

This part of the lunar cycle would be the equivalent of Winter seasonally. In lunar farming, according to the wonderful Magic of I., gravity from the Moon is stronger now and pulls up water which aids in germination. It would thus be a time of planting plants that produce seeds outside of the fruit.

New Moon in Pisces

A New Moon in Pisces is the perfect time to really turn within to your inner realms and simply float with the tides there. Drift with your emotions, visions, and imagination— let yourself daydream and see where your wanderings take you.

Archetypal Pisces is the mystic and dreamer of the Zodiac, deeply in touch with its emotions, intuition, and energy all around it, feeling its way through. A highly empathetic Sign, it seeks to ease the suffering of the world and easily connects with others on a soul level. In this, it can easily get overwhelmed and can be prone to subsequent avoidance and escapism (as well as gullibility, delusion, idealisation, romanticisation, and fantastical thinking). Thus, boundaries are also essential wherever Pisces is in your Chart!

Jupiter, the ruler, is the Planet of hope, faith, and belief. In Pisces it has easy access to its sense of spirituality and generosity, as well as morals and penchant for substances! Whatever the drug of choice may be— alcohol, music, art, movies, gaming, fantasy novels, sex, scrolling, shopping, actual drugs or simply zoning out— a form of disassociation is favourited.

New Moon in Pisces Rituals

New Moon rituals focus on intention-setting for the upcoming cycle (either over the following two weeks until it peaks to fruition in the Full Moon phase; until the next cycle begins again with the following New Moon four weeks later; or until the corresponding Full Moon in the opposing Zodiac Season six months later— in this case, the Full Moon in Pisces during Virgo Season).

Here is the basis for all my New Moon rituals:

Cleanse your space - You can ring a bell, spray an aura mist (I make a crystal and Reiki-infused Moon water with essential oils); open the windows and smoke cleanse; throw salt in the corners and sweep it out anti-clockwise; or mop with a herbal wash.
Set up an elemental circle - Many rituals may begin by calling in the elements for grounding and protection. I put incense in the East for Air; a candle in the South for Fire; a bowl of water in the West for Water; and crystals in the North for Earth.
Centre + ground yourself - I do some breathwork followed by a rooting visualisation meditation. Simple deep breaths will do.
Journal on your intentions - Write down what you wish to call in using positive affirmations or mantras, you can finish with “so it is” and sign/date it. Often I pull Tarot cards after to see what other messages come up for me (especially powerful now during Pisces Season)!
Plant your seeds - Read your intention out loud three times to call it in, fold the paper three times clockwise and plant it in soil outside or in a plant pot. You can also add seeds, coins, crystals, a key— anything that resonates with your goal.
Water your plant - Thank Mother Nature and the Spirit of Water and Earth for their assistance. Take a moment to visualise your seeds blossoming. Snuff out the candle and let the incense burn down as an offering. Thank the rest of the elements.
BONUS: Dream journalling - Pisces is deeply connected to the ethers and other realms, during this Season it can be beneficial to pay extra attention to your dreams, as well as general signs, symbols, and omens. Bodies of water are also especially healing now (baths, the ocean, tea etc.).

When you create your New Moon ritual, apart from the basics listed above, tailored to the corresponding Zodiac Sign and your own preferences— you can also align it with the place in your Natal Chart it’s occurring, i.e. the House it’s falling in. Read on for how:
