New Moon in Pisces — March 18, 2026

A Turning Point of Faith, Healing, and Inspired New Beginnings

By Guiding Light Astrology

Let what's possible flow to you now.

Why New Moons Matter

A New Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon meet at the same degree of the zodiac, aligning light (conscious awareness) with emotion (inner needs). Astronomically, the Moon is invisible in the sky; astrologically, this darkness represents a fertile reset point. New Moons are ideal for planting intentions, initiating inner change, and aligning with what wants to grow quietly before becoming visible. On March 18th at 6:23 pm MST we see a new moon in the area where we just saw Saturn and Neptune show us how to connect to our dreams.

New Moons are not about immediate action—they are about alignment, intention, and subtle redirection that unfolds over the following lunar cycle. With what he have learned from the Saturn and Neptune transit through Pisces we are ready to plant the seeds that will grow our dreams into our reality.

What a New Moon in Pisces Brings

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, associated with surrender, compassion, intuition, spiritual connection, imagination, and healing. New Moons in Pisces invite us to dissolve old narratives, soften rigid expectations, and listen more deeply to what our soul is asking for.

Rather than logic or force, Pisces New Moons work through faith, feeling, and trust. Intentions set now are strongest when they involve emotional healing, creative inspiration, forgiveness, spiritual practice, or releasing control.

Historical Themes of Pisces New Moons

Historically, Pisces New Moons often coincide with:

• Shifts in collective compassion or humanitarian awareness

• Artistic or spiritual movements gaining momentum

• Moments where illusion is exposed, requiring discernment

• Emotional or spiritual “endings” that quietly prepare the ground for rebirth

They are less about headlines and more about inner turning points that later shape outer reality.

Sextile Uranus in Taurus: Inspired Change with Stability

This New Moon forms a supportive sextile to Uranus in Taurus, introducing innovation without chaos. Uranus brings awakening and breakthroughs, while Taurus grounds change into tangible values, resources, and self-worth.

This aspect supports:

• New financial or material approaches rooted in intuition

• Innovative healing methods

• Breaking old comfort patterns in sustainable ways

• Aligning spiritual values with real-world structures

Change is available—but it doesn’t require burning everything down to get there.

Neptune and Saturn Conjunct in Aries: Spiritual Responsibility

Pisces’ modern ruler Neptune is now in Aries and conjunct Saturn, creating one of the most significant backdrops to this New Moon. This pairing blends vision with discipline, spirituality with accountability.

Collectively and personally, this asks:

• Where must faith be paired with action?

• What dreams are ready to be built—not just imagined?

• Where have boundaries been missing around energy, time, or belief?

This New Moon is not about escapism. It is about choosing a spiritual path that requires courage and commitment.

Mercury Retrograde + North Node in Pisces

Mercury retrograde in Pisces, conjunct the North Node, suggests that clarity comes through reflection, intuition, and revisiting spiritual lessons from the past. Conversations, insights, and realizations may feel foggy—but they are meaningful.

This is a karmic New Moon for:

• Re-aligning with soul contracts

• Rewriting internal narratives

• Reconnecting with intuitive guidance you once ignored

Trust what resurfaces—it’s pointing you forward.

Mars in Pisces Opposing the South Node in Virgo

Mars in Pisces asks for inspired, compassionate action, while the South Node in Virgo highlights old habits of over-analysis, control, and self-criticism. This opposition challenges us to release perfectionism and embrace flow.

The lesson: You don’t need to fix everything to move forward.
