Pisces
(Born Between: March 12 – April 18)
The New Moon begins in your sign, Pisces, alongside Chiron conjunct. Those born between April 10th to 18th will feel this energy most strongly. It is dynamic and powerful, stirring compassion, empathy, and deep emotions. While some may feel re-energised, others could feel slightly off balance, as psychic awareness heightens; but so can paranoia. That said, there is great potential here for creative intelligence and healing abilities to emerge.
For those born between March 12th to 25th, a new stellium forming with Saturn and Neptune in your sign may bring mental overwhelm or a sense of being too caught up in your thoughts. Many may feel stuck or unable to move forward. Releasing stagnant energy will be important; grounding practices such as walking barefoot on the earth or placing your hands on a cool concrete surface may help restore balance.
Aries
(Born Between: April 19 – May 14)
You tend to find comfort in what feels familiar, Aries; even if it isn’t necessarily ideal. It’s a case of “better the devil you know.” However, this New Moon cycle brings strong potential for growth and acceptance, provided you are willing to maintain the discipline required.
There may also be relationship or financial pressures, particularly for those born between May 9th to 14th, which need attention. This is not a time for rushed decisions, patience will serve you far better than impulsive action.
Guided meditations focused on clearing negative energy from yourself and your environment will be especially beneficial.
Taurus
(Born Between: May 14 – June 20)
Long-held belief systems or ingrained routines are undergoing transformation, Taurus. You are known for holding firmly to what is familiar and comfortable, especially regarding your spiritual values and creative expression.
Relationships or finances may have been under review and could still require attention. Overall, you are beginning to settle into new ways of being. While some aspects of life will remain unchanged, your outlook and sense of responsibility are shifting into something more individual and authentic. It doesn’t matter if others don’t fully understand; what matters is that it works for you and those directly involved.
Be mindful of ego clashes or moments of self-doubt.
Gemini
(Born Between: June 21 – July 19)
As the New Moon cycle begins, things are starting to flow more smoothly for you, Gemini. This comes as a welcome relief after recent confusion and indecision. You are regaining confidence and are ready to embrace opportunities as they arise.
A sense of abundance and optimism supports you now, helping you move forward with faith and self-assurance. Even as circumstances continue to shift, you are able to navigate them with ease. As one of the most adaptable signs of the zodiac, change comes naturally to you.
Practising deep breathing techniques will help you stay focused and aligned.
Cancer
(Born Between: July 20 – August 10)
Although sensitivity is still present, you are now able to view situations with greater clarity and rationality. Some healing is still required, but you are more aware of this now that the feeling of overwhelm has begun to ease.
For those already on a healing path, this is a time to begin integrating what you’ve learned into the outer world. Your greatest strength lies in your wisdom, Cancer. Once your sensitivity is balanced with emotional strength, you become one of the most insightful signs of the zodiac.
Alternative healing practices may be especially relevant for you during this New Moon cycle.
Leo
(Born Between: August 10 – September 15)
Leo, you’ve been navigating some challenging karmic lessons. Progress is being made, even if it doesn’t feel that way yet, as lingering issues from the past still require attention.
Those with greater maturity may already recognise this growth, while others may struggle with self-discipline or fail to see certain blind spots. You are naturally courageous and willing to confront anything that challenges your authority, but sometimes growth comes from learning when to bend the rules rather than break them.
Be mindful of conflicts with authority figures.
Virgo
(Born Between: September 15 – October 30)
Things are beginning to quieten down for you, Virgo. However, partnerships, whether business or personal, may experience conflicting interests. You might feel hesitant to express your thoughts, especially if they are guided more by intuition than concrete evidence.
Your creativity is heightened, and it’s best directed toward those who share your wavelength. The positive aspect is that you are now able to see the bigger picture, rather than getting caught in minor details.
While this may not be the ideal time to act, it is a good time to reflect, make notes, and revisit your ideas later. Creative expression will be especially beneficial.
Libra
(Born Between: October 31 – November 22)
Black Moon Lilith has moved back into your sign, Libra. Those born between November 15th to 23rd may feel this influence most strongly, particularly in relation to relationships or finances that require healing or resolution.
For many, soul growth remains the central theme, often playing out within committed partnerships. At times, it’s necessary to look beyond the physical and elevate your perspective mentally and spiritually, as the mind can often be the main barrier to reaching your full potential.
Take time during this New Moon to reconnect with your inner centre and manifest a more balanced, content version of yourself.
Scorpio
(Born Between: November 23 – November 29)
The pressure may feel intense, Scorpio, but you are well equipped to handle it. You naturally navigate challenging situations with depth and precision. Your investigative instincts are heightened, allowing you to uncover truths and solutions beneath the surface.
Whether this applies to your own situation or someone close to you, your approach remains the same. Matters within family or committed relationships may require transformation to restore balance and fairness.
Be mindful of tendencies toward possessiveness or power struggles.
Ophiuchus
(Born Between: November 30 – December 17)
Is someone around you being particularly stubborn, Ophiuchus? Or perhaps you’re observing someone blinded by their own ego. Either way, this New Moon places you in a position to handle the situation with tact, possibly through indirect approaches.
Your tolerance levels may feel slightly off balance, but you can channel this energy into physical activity to release built-up tension. Overall, emotional pressure may be present during this phase, and you may find yourself stepping in as a mediator or de-escalating situations.
Salt baths or foot soaks will help restore balance.
Sagittarius
(Born Between: December 18 – January 18)
You’re back on track, Sagittarius, and feeling lighter than you have in some time. There is a strong spiritual influence surrounding you, placing you in an ideal position to explore or expand your personal niche.
Connection is key during this New Moon cycle, whether through broadening your horizons or joining like-minded, humanitarian groups. There may also be a romantic interest where either you or the other person feels somewhat inhibited, creating an opportunity for mutual growth.
While things are improving, be mindful of sudden mental shifts, as your ruling planet Jupiter remains in Gemini, which can bring moments of impulsiveness. Still, the overall energy is far more supportive than before.
Capricorn
(Born Between: January 19 – February 15)
Changes surrounding your commitments are still unfolding, Capricorn, but you are now on firmer ground and beginning to see progress. This transition still requires adjustment, along with space to breathe and recalibrate.
There is a stronger sense of flow in your vision and long-term outlook, and things may turn out better than expected. However, as circumstances continue to shift, patience remains essential before this cycle fully resolves.
Despite ongoing highs and lows, there is a clear light at the end of the tunnel. Be sure to rest and avoid overworking yourself; take time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Nature walks will help restore your energy and sense of purpose.
Aquarius
(Born Between: February 16 – March 11)
There has been significant growth in your perspective on life and humanity, Aquarius. However, misunderstandings may arise, as expressing emotions doesn’t always come naturally to you.
Some may need to break free from old behavioural patterns, turning to calming practices such as herbal teas or flower essences to quiet the mind and reconnect with their inner voice. For others, this is a time to engage more deeply in humanitarian efforts alongside like-minded individuals.
Many Aquarians are approaching the end of a cycle, likely within the home or family environment. While change is necessary, it’s important not to go to extremes; balance transformation with stability, keeping what already works in place.
