On March 13th, at 5:21am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 23 degrees of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle.
Feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject.
New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle, and are therefore an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon chart also has four planets in Pisces — including Venus. Due to Uranus’s transit through Taurus, Venus (as that sign’s depositor) has a lot to say about how we can more fully embrace our own unique value.
Venus in Pisces invites us to focus on our inner divinity, our ability to receive, our connection to intuition, and our desire to contribute to life from a heart-centered and grounded place.
Our emotional and physical bodies are giving us the information we need to better connect to ourselves and what we want to contribute out there in the world; if we listen carefully, we will also understand much better the best pace for accomplishing things without overwhelming ourselves.
Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces, Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, and Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius, so these three planets play an important role in this New Moon chart. We will talk a little bit about them in a moment, but first let’s talk about Pisces, to see what this New Moon is all about:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces…

At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.
Ask yourself: Am I (In other words, do I exist)? Could I let that be enough, just for right now? Keep repeating these questions until you feel completely relaxed and at peace.
Now, close your eyes, and ask yourself: Am I my body or am I more than that? Am I the sounds that I can hear inside and outside my head, or am I more than that? Am I the sensations that I feel and receive, or am I more than that? And, if I am more than those things, where do I begin? Where do I end?
Pisces is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.
At its densest expression however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.
Ask yourself: What is in the way of a connection to my inner divinity? What prevents me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance? What if I opened just 5% more to the perfection of life? What if I trusted 5% more to universal timing?
This New Moon squares the degree of December’s Solar Eclipse, signaling a potential turning point in our collective perceptions, expectations, and assumptions.
Ask yourself: What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might I see if I were looking at the bigger picture?
This New Moon aligns with Neptune and Venus in Pisces. This is a call to extend compassion, acceptance, or forgiveness to ourselves and others. Unconditional love for our feeling-body and our responses towards the world is also very helpful right now.
We may feel more sensitive — more tuned-in to other people’s feelings or suffering — and this gives us the opportunity to experience the full range of all feelings as they arise, and to sense our interconnectedness with everything around us. As best as you can, allow for the flow of all feelings, allow your heart to soften — open to the beauty in that connectedness to “all there is”.
Ask yourself: If I were to be totally honest with myself, what would I notice is draining, rather than inspiring me? Where do I seem to have a hard time discerning fact from fiction? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What might my dreams say to me? What message might my intuition have for me?
Is it at least possible that plenty of sleep, rest, or “going within” might serve my connection to the divine (aka “source”)? What else could show me my own divine nature?
Nature is a wonderful teacher for this — if you start to feel overwhelmed by what you are feeling or experiencing, connect with nature.
Spiritual practice is also wonderful here, of course (meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, etc.); the same is true of spiritual/energetic healing modalities like Reiki, “Access Consciousness Bars”, shiatsu, acupuncture, etc. These can all help us tap into the higher vibrations of Pisces (and the Neptune-energy as well), as can the creative flow of dance, singing, music, sound, etc. — and of course, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion.
What else can help us experience our connection to “the all”? Feel free to share about a spiritual practice that works for you and that you love in the comments section…
Ask yourself: What might cause my heart to expand 5% more than usual? What is already in my current environment that opens my heart? What might change for me if I knew for certain that everything is proceeding according to plan? What might reconnect me to a spiritual trust?
The New Moon also makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. We get an opportunity to be extra-present — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans — especially those you feel really passionate about.
Surrendering our fears about our position in the world and our achievements gets a little easier. We also have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration and feel empowered about a project or task that might serve us long-term.
Ask yourself: How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears connected with past disempowerment? What has been confronting me lately when it comes to such fears?
Is it at least possible that combining my imagination with trust in divine guidance would support me in effortlessly reaching my long-term goals? What might be possible if I also heeded subtle messages from my intuitive heart that stir me toward the kind of success that empowers me and others?
Allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature, your body, and your breath. Doing so will help you manifest more in less time — we don’t manifest more (or faster) by rushing things, but rather by getting and staying in tune with the creative process.
Ask yourself: Where am I headed? If everything is energy, and everything is always in perfect alignment on an energetic level, how could I get more in tune with my own energy-body? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could then be in more perfect alignment with my goals? What would trusting the unfolding of my goals look like to me?
Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, is currently in Aquarius; it aligns with Mercury, and trines the North Node in Gemini.
The Alignment to Mercury in Aquarius shows us that we have the ability to see the bigger picture. We feel optimistic (sometimes maybe too optimistic) — and that helps us think big and far into the future.
Anything that expands our perspective is of interest; spiritual or mental journeys can definitely flourish, especially those connected with like-minded people or communities. If we don’t channel this energy into something that elevates our mind and soul, we may become a little restless or anxious.
Ask yourself: Might stepping outside of my daily routines bring me to a place where I can see my friendships and networks (or humanity’s future) from a new vantage point? What are my beliefs around groups and like-minded people? What might I see if I looked for a vision from that new vantage point?
Jupiter’s Trine to the North Node in Gemini shows us that collaboration, tolerance, and equality can be achieved in our communities if we stay open-minded and bring a good dose of curiosity to our interactions.
Ask yourself: What questions could I ask myself or others, that might help me expand my perspective on the future? What about my perspective about a group of people with whom I disagree?
The North Node represents our collective Soul’s Journey at this time. In Gemini, we are asked to make an effort when connecting with others, by staying open-minded, curious, sharing our perspectives, and listening to understand someone else’s.
Ask yourself: What if I communicated with 5% more clarity and open-mindedness? Might listening 5% more attentively help to expand my various networks? How about seeing my assumptions about a particular group of people more clearly?
Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius — and is currently in that sign, which it co-rules with Uranus — where it trines Mars in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and of course still squares Uranus in Taurus. Let’s unpack that…
Saturn’s Trine to Mars in Gemini: this allows for solid and realistic ideas and concepts —that serve us long-term — to flow, be shared, and contemplated. Commitments made right now with like-minded people might well develop into something lasting.
Ask yourself: What might I share with my tribe if I wanted to manifest something that would last and be sustainable for all involved? What might “responsible sharing” look like? What could I teach or learn that could make an impact long-term for me and my communities?
In that spirit, I also wanted to mention some Interviews that I will be doing…
One with my Dear friend D’Angelo for the show: Beauty + Gratitude on Soulivity TV on April 2nd at 8pm ET, and the other one with Sasha from Venus Wisdom, for a weekend event called: Re-Dream the World Astro Retreat on March 19th.
I will be sending out more details via email about those events. So stay tuned for more soon…
Saturn’s Sextile to Chiron in Aries presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring progress in our various communities — maybe even world-wide.
We are more powerful than we realize, especially when we come together; so ask yourself: Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?
Saturn’s Square to Uranus in Taurus has been discussed in earlier videos, my Weekly Forecast on Feb. 17th, and more deeply in my latest webinar: “Saturn-Uranus Squares in 2021″ — in connection with our own birth charts.
Feel free to click on the various links above for more about this aspect.
To sum it all up: We can tap into the divinity within through meditation, being in nature, music, dance, energy healing, dream work, creative writing, art, or being with our intuition. In the silence, we feel the oneness with all there is, and the unconditional love the Universe provides.
The next 28 days are an opportunity to tap into our intuitive and imaginative abilities, then focus anew on what’s important for us — again, without rushing it.
Many of us are exhausted, as much is shifting, collectively and individually. Inner work takes as much energy as physical work (sometimes more), so take extra care of your body.
Follow your inner guidance. Release, recharge, and remember that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience!
As best as you can, unplug, and listen deeply to your heart and soul; allow yourself to be with what is, without needing to change or fix anything. Then — and only then — take action!
If nothing else, do your best to take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can. Use them to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). Ask yourself: What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I became just 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what “is” to “just be”, just for this very moment?
Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 21-25 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 5:21am and 11:38am on March 13th, and then again from 6:44pm on March 13th until 5:21am on March 15th (New York-time).
