Following the striking total lunar eclipse on March 3, a more serene and reflective moment arrives with the new moon in Pisces on March 18. As we integrate the lessons of the past month, astrologer Bérénice Delignat guides us through the energies of this new moon and the ritual we can use for an emotional reset.
What will the new moon bring?
“The new moon in Pisces opens a deeply introspective cycle,” Delignat tells Vogue. “Unlike lunations that urge quick action or decisions, this one acts like a gentle tide, inviting us to slow down, feel, and reconnect with something greater than the mind.”
This new moon also arrives at a key point in the astrological calendar: the sun’s entry into Aries. This traditionally marks the start of the astrological year and is a time for self-connection. “The dominant energy of Pisces creates a more intuitive and emotional atmosphere,” she adds. “You may feel less analytical and more in touch with your feelings.”
Uranus in Taurus acts as a catalyst here, unsettling our relationship with security, habits, and fear of scarcity. This disruptive planet pushes us to release attachments that no longer serve us, opening a new and freer cycle.
“There’s a silent space within each of us that already knows,” Delignat continues. “A place where the soul remembers that life isn’t just about what we control, but also about what we choose to move through with confidence. When we slow down enough to listen to this space, something calms. We realize we’re not alone in carrying our lives—that the divine also works through us, often in unseen ways.”
The soul needs openness, and sometimes the greatest wisdom lies in simply trusting the path that unfolds step by step.
Which astrological signs will be impacted the most?
“The water signs—Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio—will particularly feel the emotional and intuitive intensity of this lunation,” says Delignat. “Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius could also experience important realizations, as this energy disrupts their usual reference points and their way of controlling situations.”
What ritual should you put in place to take advantage of these energies?
Delignat recommends taking time to journal about what you’re still trying to control in your life. Then, “Ask yourself honestly, ‘Is this really protecting me, or is it holding me back?’ Close your eyes for a few minutes and imagine releasing these tensions into water… let them dissolve.”
Once that’s done, “Write down a single intention for this new cycle: something simple and aligned that brings you closer to your inner truth,” she advises, because sometimes transformation comes from what we finally choose to release.
