New moon in Pisces of February 28, 2025: clarity to say goodbye
Although 2025 is generally a year dominated by air and fire energies (Saturn in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius), January and February have been the exception; with a strong emphasis on the water element that It has led us to deep, introspective emotional states that have probably left us more than drained. (Read more about the astrology of 2025 here).
In addition to this, we are coming out of an extensive retrograde of Mars in Cancer and Leo that began at the beginning of December last year, generating a period especially exhausting. In addition, we are still experiencing the effects of a Moonsitium that has already been added North Node entry into Pisces. It's been a lot of pent-up emotional energy.
In this context, the New Moon in Pisces on February 28 (that will occur in the grade 9°40' of the sign) arrives as the closing of this intense phase on an emotional level, prior to the energetic change that the eclipses and all the other transits we will experience throughout the year will bring, which will require a lot of emotional energy from us (yes, more).
The elements that define this lunation are:
- This New Moon The lunar cycle begins, during which the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo will occur on March 14..
- It will happen along with a huge stellium in Pisces: Moon, Sun, Saturn, Mercury, North Node and Neptune.
- It will be in square to Jupiter in Gemini (12°), traditional ruler of this lunation.
- Simultaneously with the New Moon, the North Node will be in conjunction with Neptune (modern ruler of this lunation).
- It occurs in conjunction to the fixed star Skat (8°52' of Pisces).
This lunation will affect us all, but Its impact will be greater if you have planets or angles between 7°- 11° of the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces).

Pisces: Surrendering to a Universe that Knows What It's Doing
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and in these first two months of the year its energy has been strongly emphasized, even more so with the North Node passing through here. As I mentioned in other entries, being the last sign (and therefore associated with endings) Piscean energy is linked to collapses, and that is indeed what we have been seeing in different places around the planet: Landslides, fires, power outages, earthquakes, structural failures and crises at different levelsWe live in a rapidly changing world, and this inevitably correlates with an internal change that we can no longer postpone.
Even though we know that change is necessary, The way is not to force or pressure itThe energy of Pisces It is neither active nor taxing; Their strength is not in fighting, but in receptivity. Open ourselves emotionally, accept, adapt is what allows us to create space for this process.Let us also remember that Mars just came out of its retrograde phase just three days ago, which adds to the Piscean influence and tells us that the action is still slow and that this is not a time to impose ourselves outside, but to allow things to settle in their own time.
Pisces dilutes, dissolves and teaches us the lesson of detachment, and although we still do not fully understand the reason for certain outcomes, everything is part of a greater order. Its true power is in not forcing anything, but in accept what is, in surrendering to transformation without resistance.
Stellium in Pisces: Fog, Emotion, Nostalgia
Yes, this all sounds rather bittersweet. On a personal level, this Piscean energy can feel like an emotional mess that's difficult to understand. Confusion, nostalgia, a sense of closure, unease, or even depression can be part of the climate these days. We may also struggle to focus, experience a kind of mental fog, or struggle to stay grounded. With so much Pisces energy in the air, it's normal to feel more distracted, more sensitive, or feel like we're floating in the middle of something we don't quite understand yet.
Square with Jupiter in Gemini, 12°: The Last Straw
This New Moon will be square to Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, and therefore the ruler of the lunation. That is, its position is quite important in it. A square always implies a tension that must be resolved, and in this case, that tension is the same. tension is related to expansionJupiter amplifies everything it touches, and being in Gemini, this expansion can manifest through communication, ideas, and the information we receive and believe (in mundane astrology, Gemini rules the borders Also). Here, conflicts can arise with narratives we have constructed, with agreements we take for granted, or even with information that is misleading. It's not a good energy for making important decisions that require mental clarity, such as signing a contract or committing to something that depends on the accuracy of the details, because the tendency to believe too much without verifying can be high.
On a personal level, this square may feel like the straw that breaks the camel's backIt is the moment when we are faced with something we can no longer ignore: This isn't right, this is hurting me, this can't go on like this. We may realize that we have been avoiding a situation, procrastinating on a problem, or holding onto a narrative that keeps us stuck. And this is where acceptance plays another role: accepting reality as it is, without filters or excuses. Recognizing that there is something we can no longer let go. And although it is not yet time to act with all our impetus, it is time to become aware.
Conjunction with Fixed Star Skat (8°)
This New Moon makes a conjunction with the fixed star Skat, located in the constellation of Aquarius but at the 8th degree of the zodiac sign Pisces. Skat, also known as δ Aquarii, is the third brightest star in this constellation and is located approximately 160 light-years from Earth. Its name comes from the Arabic "as-saq," meaning "leg" or "shin," reflecting its position in the figure of the water bearer.
Astrologically, Skat is considered a natural star. Jupiter-Saturn, suggesting a combination of expansion and discipline. This influence indicates that the Projects initiated under this conjunction have the potential for growth and success, as long as they are approached with responsibility and perseverance..
But Skat also has a social character. It reminds us that growth is not only individual, but is also strengthened by connection with others. In the midst of rapid change and personal challenges, it's easy to get caught up in our own worries and lose sight of what's happening around us. And yet, we are still part of an environment.
This conjunction invites us to look to the side, open up, share what we have to give. It may be an act of generosity, a gesture of support, or simply recognizing that we are not alone in this journey. The stability we seek is also built on collaboration. And in a time of so much uncertainty, that ability to support each other can make all the difference.
Neptune-North Node conjunction (28°)
Simultaneously with this New Moon in Pisces, there is a exact conjunction between Neptune and the North Node at 28° of Pisces. Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces, and its union with the North Node reinforces the call to connect with the intangible, with that which cannot be fully measured or explained. There is a strong component of intuition here, of destiny, of surrendering ourselves to a path that we may not yet fully understand. There may also be confusion, uncertainty, or a feeling of being adrift, but the meaning of this conjunction is not immediate clarity, but learn to trust the process and what is developing beyond what is visible.
Corresponding Sabian Symbol: Pisces 10, "An Aviator Flies Through Clouds That Obscure the Ground."
(Don't know what Sabian symbols are? Read the complete guide here)
The Sabian symbol for this New Moon is Pisces 10: “An aviator flies through clouds that obscure the ground”. A pilot does not get to fly by chance. It takes practice, discipline, mastery of a technique. And when the ground -that is to say, the tangible, the concrete, the appearances— is obscured, the only option is to rely on preparation, on the ability to navigate even when material reality does not offer clear answers.
This symbol is a metaphor for spiritual elevation, but also for the effort involved in maintaining clarity. It is not a spontaneous state nor something that just happens. You have to work at it, you have to be attentive, because if not, we'll get lost. Just as a pilot cannot be distracted in mid-flight, we cannot let our guard down when it comes to discerning what is real from what is an illusion.
And in this day and age, that's more difficult than ever. We live in a time where information is confusing, where lies are sold as truth, and where the ability to think for ourselves has been drastically reduced.We are becoming more and more idiotic with social media fantasies, with empty goals, with appearances that actually contribute nothing to our growth. It's becoming increasingly difficult to read, reflect, and sustain one's own thoughts without being swept away by superficial stimuli. Even simple things like paying attention are increasingly diminishing.
This symbol invites us to see what is clouding us. To recognize the distortions, the distractions, the things that keep us trapped in thought patterns that lead us nowhere. And above all, it reminds us that Clarity is something that must be sustained with effort. It's not enough to want to see it. You have to cultivate it.
Questions to Reflect On:
1. What situation in my life is already unsustainable and I need to change because it is being self-destructive?
Consider whether anything has become too widespread, out of control, or has begun to negatively affect you.
2. Am I really paying attention to what I'm doing or is my mind too scattered?
Keep track of your concentration levels. Do you often forget things? Do you struggle to focus on a single task without being distracted by external stimuli?
3. In what aspects of my life do I need more discipline?
Consider whether it's time to exercise your mind more, strengthen a more optimistic state of mind, or establish habits that help you maintain clarity amidst confusion.
4. In what area of my life do I need to create a necessary vacuum for what comes next?
Pisces speaks to us about closure. Reflect on whether there's something you're still holding onto that, if let go, would open up space for something new.
5. Am I attached to an outcome that is beyond my control?
Identify if there's something you're still expecting or forcing when, in reality, what you need is to accept the situation as it is.
6. Am I clearly seeing what is real or am I being led by an illusion?
Ask yourself if you're interpreting things objectively or if you're clinging to a narrative that ultimately isn't entirely true.
7. How much of my emotional energy is being wasted on meaningless distractions or goals?
Reflect on whether you're focusing on what truly nourishes you or whether you're falling prey to the noise of social media, appearances, and external expectations.
8. Am I willing to sustain clarity with effort, even when the environment is confusing?
The truth isn't always obvious or easy to hold. Ask yourself if you're doing the inner work to maintain your discernment or if you're just going with the flow.
This Moon New is the Right Time to:
• Notice.
Before acting, before making decisions, simply look at what is happening inside and outside of us.
• Hear.
To others, to our own internal dialogue, to what is really happening and not just what we want to believe.
• Reflect.
It's not about reacting immediately, but rather calmly and deeply analyzing what this lunation is bringing to the surface.
• Eliminate the superfluous.
Whether it's Objects, responsibilities, unnecessary commitments, or stimuli that overwhelm us. Often, distraction isn't a lack of willpower, but rather an excess of mental noise.
• Reduce stimuli to improve concentration.
If you have trouble focusing, look at How many things you're processing at once. Opening twenty browser tabs while scrolling through social media, responding to messages, and other tasks isn't productivity; it's self-sabotage. This New Moon invites us to simplify, to focus on the essentials.
• Question what we take for granted.
It's not a conspiracy theory to say that the powers that be don't want us to think. Large corporations, governments, and powerful figures design systems that encourage distraction, passivity, and unquestioning acceptance. They force us to accept terms and conditions without reading anything, changes without protesting, restrictions without analyzing them. This is the time to ask ourselves how we can adopt a more proactive attitude.
• Strengthen mental clarity.
In a world designed to confuse us, thinking clearly is an act of self-care. How can we develop a more lucid mind, less reactive, and better able to discern between what is real and what is manipulated? This New Moon is the starting point for that.

House 1: Beginnings, Identity and Personal Appearance
This New Moon marks a key point in how you perceive yourself and how others see you. Something in your identity is changing, even though you may not be able to put it into words yet. It may feel like a transitional period where You're not the same person you were before, but you're not entirely sure where you're going either.
The square with Jupiter in the 4th house can generate tensions between who you are now and what you have been carrying with you from your personal history, your home or your family. Perhaps there are patterns you learned in childhood that continue to influence how you present yourself to the world, or you may be facing conflicts between the person you're developing and what your past expects of you. Are you defining yourself based on what you really want or are you reacting to what you learned in your environment?
This is not the time to make radical changes to your image or the way you project yourself, but to observe what no longer fits and prepare to leave it behind. If you feel you are in a period of increased sensitivity or introspection, it is natural. Sometimes redefining who we are means going through some confusion before clarity arrives.
House 2: Self-esteem, Values, Sense of Stability, Finances
This New Moon opens a process of redefinition in your relationship with stability, personal value, and resources. Something in your perception of security—whether emotional, material, or financial—is changing. You may be in a period of uncertainty about what truly sustains you or searching for new ways to create stability.
The square with Jupiter in the 5th house can bring about a clash between your sense of security and the way you enjoy life. Are you giving yourself enough space for pleasure, or do you feel like you have to justify everything in terms of productivity? There may also be a tendency to overspend on entertainment, creative projects, or child-related matters, without evaluating whether it is sustainable in the long term.
On an internal level, this lunation invites you to ask yourself what defines your self-esteem. Do you feel that your worth depends on what you possess, what you achieve, what you can offer to others? Pisces in this house reminds us that true stability at the end of the day is not material. It may be time to let go of rigid ideas about success or abundance and allow yourself to see what truly gives you security.
House 3: Communication and Learning
This New Moon can bring a period of greater introspection in the way you communicate and process information. Pisces in this house tends to generate a more intuitive mind, but also a more scattered one. You may feel that words are not enough to express what you think or that you have difficulty organizing ideas clearly.
The square with Jupiter in the 6th house indicates that mental saturation may be affecting your routine and well-being. Are you experiencing too many stimuli at once? Is your attention scattered among a thousand things? If you've been having trouble concentrating or remembering information lately, check out how many distractions you have around you. Excessive multitasking, news bombardment, or the habit of being constantly exposed to information may be draining your ability to focus.
This is a good time to simplify, to filter what truly adds value to your mind, and to let go of unnecessary noise. It can also be an opportunity to review how you communicate with those around you, to see if you feel understood or if there's anything you need to express more clearly.
House 4: Home, Past and Family
This New Moon marks a key point in your relationship with your home, your personal history, and your roots. It may be a period of heightened sensitivity, where emotions from the past resurface or you feel the need to rethink what emotional stability means to you.
The square with Jupiter in the 7th house suggests that family dynamics may be interfering with your close relationships. Maybe you're projecting onto other patterns learned at home, or there are tensions between what you need emotionally and what your relationships demand of you. It may also be that a particular relationship is causing you to rethink what you consider a secure medium.
On a practical level, this transit can manifest as changes in your home or family environment. It may be a good time to do some deep cleaning, close unfinished chapters, or simply allow yourself to process whatever remains unresolved in your personal story. Pisces in the 4th house reminds us that stability has little to do with externals; more important is how we feel about ourselves.
House 5: Children, Creativity, Romance and Pleasure
This New Moon opens a cycle in which Your relationship with pleasure, creativity and personal expression is under review. You may feel the need to connect with something that inspires you, but at the same time, there may be a feeling of dispersion or lack of clarity about what truly motivates you. Are you genuinely enjoying yourself or just following an idea of what “should” be fun or satisfying?
The square with Jupiter in the 8th house suggests that tensions may arise between the desire to enjoy and certain deep emotions or internal crises that do not allow you to fully surrender. Maybe there's something you need to process before you can fully connect with pleasure or a relationship. It can also manifest itself as a tendency to over-idealizing a love story, a creative project, or even the relationship with a child.
This is a good time to ask yourself What space do you give to inspiration in your life, what motivates you to create or express yourself and if you are doing it from an authentic place. Pisces in the 5th house speaks to us of a creativity that arises from the emotional, from intuition, but also of the need to sustain it with a certain discipline so that it doesn't dilute into fantasies or unrealistic expectations.
House 6: Health, Connection with the Body and Daily Routines
This New Moon marks a turning point in your relationship with your body, your daily habits, and your well-being. A stellium in Pisces transiting through your 6th house can bring a feeling of exhaustion, lack of structure, or dispersion in your routine. You may notice that your energy fluctuates more than usual or that you have difficulty staying focused on everyday tasks.
The square with Jupiter in the 9th house suggests that certain unrealistic beliefs or expectations may be interfering with your well-being. Maybe you've been pushing yourself too hard or expecting immediate results without considering what your body really needs. There may also be a tendency to disconnect from the physical, avoiding symptoms or putting off self-care because there are “more important” things to think about.
This is a good time to ask yourself how is your connection with your body. Are you getting enough rest? Are you eating well? Does your routine allow for moments of calm, or are you overloaded with stimuli? Sometimes, a lack of concentration or a feeling of being mentally distracted simply comes from too much external noise. Reducing unnecessary stimuli, establishing small, sustainable habits, and giving yourself space for rest can be key during this period.
House 7: One-to-One Relationships
This New Moon marks a key point in your way of relating to others. Pisces in this house can bring a sense of heightened sensitivity in relationships, but also some confusion about boundaries. You may feel that something in your relationships needs to be redefined or that there is a situation you can no longer ignore.
The square with Jupiter in the 10th house suggests that there may be tensions between what you want in your relationships and external expectations, public image, or even the influence of authority figures. Maybe you're feeling like a part of you is being lost in a relationship, or that certain dynamics aren't being equitable.
This is a good time to ask yourself What role do you play in your relationships and whether you are truly establishing relationships from a place of authenticity or from a need to fit into an image of what a relationship “should” be. It can also be an opportunity to clear up misunderstandings or recognize if you've been overly idealizing someone without viewing the situation objectively.
House 8: Transformation and Shared Resources
This New Moon confronts us with what we have avoided seeing, to internal processes that need to be recognized and transformed. It can bring about a period of greater introspection, where deep emotions, memories, or situations emerge that require resolution before a new beginning. This isn't about forcing change, but rather accepting what can no longer remain the same.
The square with Jupiter in the 11th house can generate tensions between this internal transformation and long-term goals, sense of belonging, and the groups you identify with. Maybe you're reevaluating which social spaces truly resonate with you, or you're realizing that certain collective ideals no longer fit your personal process. Do the people you surround yourself with reflect the growth you're seeking? Or are they keeping you tied to something that no longer suits you?
On a practical level, this lunation can also bring changes in shared resources, investments or financial agreements with other people. It may be time to review financial dependencies or unclear situations that require greater transparency. The key here is to differentiate what is truly part of your evolution and what is simply an external distraction.
House 9: Expansion and Philosophy of Life
This New Moon opens a process of questioning about your worldview, your beliefs, and what you trust as truth. It can bring a sense of intellectual or spiritual restlessness, where you begin to realize that certain ideas you once took for granted no longer fit the person you are becoming. Do you still hold a vision of life that truly resonates with you, or are you simply repeating inherited or imposed beliefs?
The square with Jupiter in the 12th house can amplify this feeling of uncertainty, causing you to question not only your ideas, but also what is hidden behind them. Doubts may arise about belief systems, religious, political, or philosophical institutions that you previously considered unquestionable. There may also be a feeling of confusion or loss of external references, as if suddenly nothing is completely reliable.
At this point, the key is not to look for definitive answers, but allow you to explore without clinging to a single version of reality. If you feel the urge to learn, travel, or expose yourself to new perspectives, do so with an open mind. But also with discernment, because this square can generate a tendency to believe in idealized narratives or to get lost in unfounded theories.
On a more internal level, this lunation can also bring a period of deep spiritual reflection. It can be a good time to reconnect with a practice that helps you find meaning, but without falling into dogmas or absolute truths. Pisces in the 9th house reminds us that expansion isn't just about accumulating knowledge, but about knowing how to filter what truly nourishes our evolution.
House 10: Career, Ambitions, Reputation, Vision of Success
This New Moon opens a period of redefinition in your professional path, your public image, and the way you project your success. You may feel uncertain about what you really want to achieve or where you are heading in your career. You may realize that certain goals no longer hold the same meaning or that the role you've been playing socially doesn't fully reflect who you are now.
The square with Jupiter in the 1st house It can bring a feeling of wanting to expand in many directions simultaneously but not knowing which one to delve into. You may feel torn between what others expect of you and what you truly desire for your personal growth. It can also lead to a tendency to idealize certain achievements or set unrealistic goals without considering whether they truly align with your current identity.
This is a time to ask yourself what success means to you at this point in your life. Are you still pursuing an idea that comes from external standards, or are you building a more authentic vision of what you want to achieve? It can also be a period where you question your authority, your place in society, or how you relate to power structures.
If you feel confused about the next step, this is not the time to force an immediate answer. But it is important to start observing what kinds of achievements would make you feel truly at peace with your path and which ones are just imposed expectations.
House 11: Groups, Community, and Long-Term Goals
This New Moon marks a turning point in your relationship with your future aspirations, the groups you identify with, and your sense of belonging in a community. You may be rethinking whether the goals you once set for yourself still make sense or if you need to adjust your vision to something more aligned with your present. It can also bring up questions about the people you surround yourself with: Do you still connect with the environment you move in or do you feel like you are in a space that no longer represents you?
The square with Jupiter in the 2nd house can make you reflect on if your resources and values are in line with the goals you pursue. You may realize that certain goals need a stronger foundation to be achieved or that the ideals of a particular group clash with what you truly value. There may also be excessive optimism surrounding collective projects or investments within a community, so it's worth evaluating whether what seems promising is actually justified.
This is a good time to ask yourself if the path you are building long-term continues to resonate with you. You may feel that there are goals you need to rethink or that certain social connections are no longer providing you with what they once did. This lunation invites you to reevaluate where you're going and who you want to walk that path with.
House 12: Spirituality, Subconscious, Closures, Privacy
This New Moon marks a process of deep introspection, where the following can be activated: emotions that have been in the background, processes that require closure or the need to withdraw a little from external noise. You may feel more tired than usual, find it difficult to keep up with your daily routine, or notice increased sensitivity without any apparent cause. stellium of Pisces transiting through this house amplifies the connection with the intangible, but also the feeling of being in a period of transition that has yet to be fully defined.
The square with Jupiter in the 3rd house It can lead to mental overload, where excess information or dispersion in thoughts and conversations hinders your internal clarity. Maybe you feel like you need more silence, more space to process what you're experiencing without so many external distractions. It can also manifest as a tendency to avoid facing certain thoughts or emotions, filling your mind with noise so as not to delve into what really matters.
This is a good time to ask yourself What you need to leave behind on an internal level, what cycle is asking to be closed, and how you can make space for your inner world. This isn't a time to seek immediate answers, but rather to allow yourself to connect with what you're feeling without pressuring yourself to find a solution now. Clarity will come in due time, but for now, the work is internal.
Don't feel guilty for wanting to rest more, for not showing so many things outside. It's a time to regenerate yourself emotionally.
