Consummation | A Pisces New Moon.

As the Earth begins to thaw, how can we use the energies of this New Moon to soften to possibility. This edition of Moon Missives features prompts for inward inquiry and simple practices.

Astrology is deeply rooted in seasonality, mirroring the natural cycles that shape life on Earth. The zodiac reflects the shifting seasons, each sign carrying its own energetic imprint. Far from arbitrary, astrology aligns us with these rhythms offering a way to navigate growth, rest, and renewal in harmony with the world around us. The energies portal to reflect on our Human Nature.

Pisces season arrives like a dissolving edge, blurring the boundaries between self and world, waking and dreaming, effort and ease, we understand it all as one. As winter loosens its grip here in the Midwest, the maple sap begins to flow and the Earth begins to thaw, we, too, find ourselves in a state of motion: uncertain, shifting, sensing before knowing. In a time of political and social instability, when reality itself feels fluid and narratives twist like tides, Pisces, the 12th and final sign of the zodiac, calls us to look beyond surface distractions, our attention called to the deeper currents shaping our world.

With Neptune, Pisces’ ruling planet, deep in its home sign, illusions are thick in the air. Yet Saturn’s presence urges us toward discernment, asking: What is real? What is worth building? Along with Venus Retrograde on March 1st and a Virgo Full Moon Eclipse on March 13th will cast light on what needs grounding, pushing us to weave the mystical into the practical not as escapism, but as a means of reshaping our path with intention.

This Pisces New Moon, the last of the astrological year, arrives on February 27th as a threshold, a liminal space between what has been and what is yet to come. This lunation is the opening siren call of eclipse season, a time of endings, reckonings, and reimaginings. In the face of uncertainty, this lunation reminds us that creativity is not just about art, but about survival, the quiet, daily acts of shaping a life, a future, a world where something new can take root.

“For roughly 40 days, the planet of love, unions, art, and aesthetics makes an underworld journey. During Venus’ subterranean descent, our relationship to beauty and pleasure comes up for review. It’s time to be discerning about the connections that amplify your courage and those that diminish your vitality. Instead of seeking approval from others, be bold about claiming your desires.” Chani Nicolas
