We can observe the phases of the moon with the naked eye, making them among the most fascinating astronomical behaviors. Astrology finds them to be deeply rich sources of thought and interpretation. Among the 9 phases – New, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter Half, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter Half, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic – the New and Full Moons capture most of the attention.
This article will look at the current Pisces New Moon. It includes a “creation activity” associated with the sign of this New Moon. The idea originates from Jan Spiller’s book: New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.
Pisces New Moon – Let’s Start Something!
The Pisces New Moon will occur on March 18th at 28 degrees and 27 minutes. In my Eastern Standard Time zone, it will happen at 9:23 pm.
It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.
The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.
The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.

New Moon in Pisces
During the New Moon in Pisces, intuition, imagination, and emotional insight take center stage. This lunation inspires compassion and encourages you to dream beyond ordinary limits. It’s an ideal time to set intentions around empathy, creativity, and spiritual growth. Focus on inner reflection, connection with your intuition, and acts of kindness. Moreover, nurture openness and imagination to attract opportunities that align with your soul. By listening to your inner guidance and embracing subtle wisdom, this New Moon supports inspired beginnings rooted in emotional clarity.
This New Moon will occur at 28d27m of Pisces, making its Sabian symbol 29 Pisces, “A prism.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of the world’s stability, and of the refusal of nature to change any aspect of herself unnecessarily. The reliability of normal processes and the consistency of true intelligence are the foundation of a common knowledge which man has been expanding through the centuries, and his continuance of the control he has gained over his environment is promise of much more wonderful achievement ahead. He is able to take any convenient facet of the reality at his hand and fashion it into an effective instrument for a measure of the whole potential.” The key word is: VALIDATION.
The Numbers of This New Moon
This New Moon occurs on 03/18/2026, which totals 31, reducing to 4. The number 4 emphasizes structure, stability, and practical foundation. In Pisces, this energy blends grounded action with imagination, helping dreams take tangible form. It encourages patience, disciplined effort, and building systems that support long-term growth. This period asks you to honor intuition and practicality, taking steady steps toward meaningful progress while nurturing your inner guidance.
The Numerology of the Number 4 in Tarot
The tarot cards linked to 4 deepen this theme. The Emperor (4) reinforces authority, planning, and solid leadership, showing how structure supports vision. Meanwhile, Death (13) emphasizes transformation, release, and endings that clear space for renewal. Together, these archetypes invite you to combine discipline with surrender, allowing profound shifts to manifest in a grounded, purposeful way.
Because this New Moon falls on the 18th, its energy blends 9 and 9’s themes of completion, release, and transformation. Nine encourages letting go of what no longer serves, creating space for new beginnings and deeper alignment with your purpose. With Aquarius’ forward-thinking, inventive energy, this lunation supports visionary insights while asking you to release outdated patterns, ideas, or attachments. This cycle invites reflection, forgiveness, and conscious closure, allowing breakthroughs to emerge. By honoring endings, you create space for inspired growth, fresh opportunities, and meaningful progress in personal and collective realms.
Pisces New Moon Wishing
I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 24 hours after it becomes new.
Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual. Spiller advises crafting 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and your life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.

Wishes/Intentions
Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.
During this Pisces New Moon, a time for intuition, emotional clarity, and spiritual insight, consider setting these intentions:
I wish to trust my inner guidance, releasing fears and patterns that block my flow.
I want to deepen empathy and connection, nurturing relationships that honor authenticity and emotional truth.
I wish to embrace imagination and creativity, allowing inspiration to guide practical action.
I want to balance surrender with discernment, listening to intuition while making grounded choices.
I wish to cultivate a spiritually aligned, inspired life, letting compassion, insight, and clarity shape my path.
After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place to keep them and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.
Happy New Moon Wishing!
