New Moon at 9 deg 40’ Pisces at 00.45 UT on 28th February 2025

In Europe, this New Moon occurs in the dark of the night, the silvery disc slipping quietly past the Sun without fuss or fanfare, to begin a hopeful new cycle.

This is a changeable, adaptable and sensitive New Moon full of dreams and imagination co-ruled by Neptune in Pisces and Jupiter in Gemini. 

This is a New Moon is about flow. About letting go and allowing ourselves to be guided by the universe. Everything is changing. Give yourself permission to change with it and to go where the spirit guides you.

Hopeful is a Pisces word. It’s not the carefree optimism of Sagittarius, or the belief that you can make it happen whatever, that comes with Aries. It’s a hopefulness that arises from a connection to all that has been all that is and all that will ever be. A quiet, spiritual hopefulness.

Jupiter in Gemini, now direct though moving slowly, is gathering information and making connections just off stage. 

He presents the challenge of finding faith in our troubled times, offering meaning in the stories we tell ourselves, the narratives we subscribe to. The Pisces/Gemini connection is changeable; both are mutable signs. But with Mercury also in Pisces, there is empathy and understanding between them.

So, with this New Moon we can write new stories. We’re not fixed or held by the Earth – indeed, there is no Earth in this chart and Pluto in Aquarius is isolated in his own realm.

This is the last lunation before eclipse season. The final New Moon of this astrological year in the last sign of the Zodiac. The winter is ending. This is a quiet time for planting seeds – real or metaphorical – to nurture and grow through the new year that is coming.

It’s a New Moon for releasing and dissolving old ways of being, old ideas and anything that is no longer serving us to make room for the promise of something new.

If you’re born on 28/29th February or 1st March then this new beginning will probably be in your Solar Return for this year. But check the chart, is your Sun on or after 9 deg 40’? If it’s before then you have the dark of the balsamic Moon letting you know that something is coming to a conclusion.

As she moves on the Moon joins Saturn to absorb duty and responsibility and put structure around our dreams.

So light your candles on the morning of 28th to welcome the Moon and make your wish and set your intentions when you see the crescent in the sky.
