March’s New Moon in tropical Pisces arrives during a massive line-up of inner planets, asteroids, and the lunar North Node in Pisces. This builds on the Piscean flow from the previous Full Moon and lunar eclipse. This New Moon and lunation cycle also officially ends eclipse season, setting us on a more stable path.
This Pisces accumulation occurs alongside the Saturn-Neptune alignment in Aries, at the Aries Point during the equinox. This is a major world-transit event, shifting consciousness and the balance of world power, so stability is not a theme for these times generally. Pisces, in its shadow side, can create a sense of losing control and of being swept up by larger societal or cosmic forces.
With all this Piscean energy peaking, the Neptunian side of Saturn-Neptune alignment dominates consciousness and events. The result is an ambiguous, illusory view of things. Clarity is unlikely. Much remains obscured about many events and situations now.
However, the deeper lesson of this sign is trust in a larger divine plan or purpose in our lives and world, something that becomes harder to hold on to in the midst of crises or collective turmoil. Yet, that is what the North Node among this planetary cluster suggests, reaching for some higher vision, spiritual purpose, or moral standard and staying true to it no matter what. Though the ultimate paradox of all this is that it collectively begs the question: whose “divine plan” is really unfolding here?
At 28 degrees Pisces, this New Moon sits on the Aries Point axis and brings in the Saturn-Neptune alignment. It is a strong starting point for a spiritual or creative vision or practice. Yet, there can be a real sense of darkness before dawn, heightened by all that’s happening.
This New Moon marks a key turning point in many personal and collective journeys. An awakening is slowly gaining power and momentum, especially as it reflects a unification of energy and power. The dam will break next month as Pisces turns to Aries, giving more ability to act and take charge. For now, focus on your dream or vision and trust its direction.
