How the New Moon in Pisces of February 2023 Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign

If you’re having trouble concentrating on your to-do lists and feeling a lot sleepier than usual, then you’re more tuned in to the psychic realm than you may realize. After all, with the sun officially transiting through Pisces—the last sign in the zodiac wheel—the cosmos are encouraging you to rest, reflect and reconnect with spirit. That said, if you’re wondering how the new moon in Pisces of February 2023 will affect each zodiac sign, it’s important to consider the all-encompassing essence of Neptune & Jupiter-ruled Pisces, as the moon will be renewing itself via this mutable water sign.

Elusive and eternally mystifying, it doesn’t get more complex and enigmatic than the zodiac sign archetype that Pisces represents. Put it this way—in addition to being the last sign in the zodiac, its mutable modality comes to life through the ever-changing and constantly flowing element of water. Adaptable and emotionally fluid, it’s no wonder those born with Pisces placements are more than often celebrated for their brilliant artistry and intuitive awareness of the unseen energies that surround them. On the dark side of this zodiac sign is that Neptune’s ability to dissolve all boundaries between reality and the subconscious realm can be overwhelming at times, especially when all you’re trying to do is stay grounded.

The planet of spirit, dreams and universal love, Neptune can be equally as alluring as it is deceiving. For instance, similar to the way the scorching heat makes it appear as if there’s puddles of water on the road you’re driving on, this nebulous planet is also prone to creating illusions, and inspiring the images that are alive in our unconscious mind. And though harnessing the power of mystical Neptune can be the greatest muse of all-time, it’s important to keep your balance. Also, similar to the way sandcastles can wash away with the ocean tides, Pisces season is here to help us heal, forgive and transcend our physical reality.

In the event of coming back home to yourself, let’s take a closer look at February’s new moon, as it will renew itself via the *first* degree of this Neptune-ruled Pisces, on February 20 at 2:06 a.m. ET. Keep in mind, with Saturn activating this same degree three more times in 2023—March 20, October 3 and December 5—it’s important to pay attention to the energies that are coming up for review, given that they are bound to repeat themselves. Moreover, when considering the fertility stemming from this lunar phase, the influence of taskmaster Saturn will be sure to provide the discipline and stability needed to make your dreams a reality.

On another note, Saturn’s close proximity to this lunation is also confronting you with the question of commitment. For instance, how committed are you when it comes to pursuing your long-term goals and ultimate dreams? The same goes for those of you who have been holding onto a vision that isn’t realistic in the long term. Venus will be forming a harmonious sextile to powerhouse Pluto, and all while both of these planets transit through the last degree of their zodiac signs. This is a big deal, especially with Pluto just weeks away from concluding its journey through Capricorn, which suggests that this “purge” and new-moon release is more profound than we may realize.

On top of highlighting the foundation of our long-term goals and dreams, while transiting through the last degrees of Capricorn, Pluto is unveiling a karmic completion… and with Venus in the mix, it more than likely revolves around our money, relationships and value systems. What are you ready to surrender? Are you committed to your healing journey? With two outer planets—also known as generational planets, Saturn and Pluto—shifting signs… it’s safe to say, we are embarking on a whole new journey, both collectively and individually speaking.

If your sun sign, moon sign or rising sign falls under any of the following zodiac signs, the upcoming new moon will rock your world. Here’s why:

Aries

Inhale the good, exhale what you’re ready to release. Surrendering is always easier said than done, but everything about this new moon is supporting you, and your spiritual journey. And though you’re more prone to taking the lead and acting on your Marsy intuition, you’re being encouraged to take a step back for the time being. The new moon is touching down on your 12th house of rest and retreat, after all, but this could also help you discover an unconscious pattern you’ve been denying within yourself. Venus will also harmonize with Pluto, which continues to speak to your desire for control, generally or with regards to your sense of authority. There is a sense of finality either way, but it’s up to you to make peace with it.

Taurus

No one is meant to stay the same, so you can start by releasing the guilt that surrounds your desire for experimentation, and expansion. Have you been compromising your individual freedom, for the sake of keeping up with an old system? Luna will be renewing itself via your 11th house of associations, community affairs and future visions, but there’s more. Your celestial ruler, Venus, will also be in harmony with shadowy Pluto, which will likely bring emphasis to a karmic chapter that’s ready to come to a close. This could revolve around your traditions, philosophy, and long term trajectory. So, if you’ve been pursuing something that doesn’t resonate with your soul’s truth, then you know what to do.

This is especially significant with the moon renewing itself via your 10th house of authority, but this could also revolve around your connection with a prominent parent, if not a superior in the workplace. Keep in mind, Venus is also lighting up this area of your chart, but it will simultaneously harmonize with alchemical Pluto, via your eighth house of shared resources and intimate exchanges. You’re being encouraged to reflect on the value of your investments, so you can surrender what’s reached its expiration date, especially if it’s been getting in the way of you taking the lead in your personal life.

Venus will also harmonize with Pluto, via your third house of communication and early education, bringing emphasis to a purging and renewal. A shift in perspective reflects onto your heart’s desires.

At this time, you could come to terms with what needs to be restructured in this area of your life, while others of you commit to a long-lasting plan for the foundation you desire to create.
