The Pisces New Moon on February 28th: Big Heart, Bigger Boundaries
The Pisces New Moon on February 28th is overflowing with empathy. It’s the kind of energy that makes you want to rescue stray animals, check in on old friends, or forgive someone you swore you were done with. But while the impulse to heal and help is strong, so is the need to ask: Is this mine to carry?
Emotional Currents: Caregiving, Parenting, and the Past
Pisces has a way of tuning into unspoken emotions, sometimes blurring the line between what’s theirs and what’s not. With asteroid Ceres—named after the Roman goddess of agriculture and mother of Proserpina, the daughter taken to the underworld—closely aligned with this new Moon, themes of emotional labour, caregiving, and parent-child dynamics take centre stage. If you’re a parent, you may feel extra attuned to your child’s emotions, sensing their moods before they even say a word. If you’re not, this lunation could stir up memories of your own upbringing; times when you felt nurtured or, just as powerfully, when you didn’t.
A New Moon, A New Approach to Healing
Since New Moons are about beginnings, this is an ideal time to start something that supports emotional healing, or working through grief and loss. That could mean therapy, energy work, journaling, or even something as simple as setting a boundary you’ve been avoiding. For example, if you’re the friend everyone leans on but no one checks in with, this might be your cue to recalibrate the balance.
Faith, Spirituality, and the Bigger Picture
Astrologically, Pisces is linked to faith, spirituality, and surrender. With Jupiter, Pisces’ traditional ruler, woven into the lunar backdrop, themes of belief systems, religion, and devotion may surface. This could show up in personal ways (questioning your spiritual path, returning to a forgotten practice) or through larger global events tied to religious or philosophical movements.
Who Will Feel This Most?
If you have strong Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius placements, you’ll likely feel this New Moon more intensely. But for everyone, the message is the same: Love and compassion are beautiful, but they shouldn’t come at the expense of your own well-being. This lunation reminds us that compassion isn’t just about giving—it’s also about trusting that others are capable of finding their own way, too.
