New moon in Pisces 2026
A new moon occurs when the moon is in conjunction with the sun, and thus it is no longer visible from our vantage point on Earth. As such, the new moon always falls in the same zodiac sign that the sun is moving through.
The new moon is a clean slate, turning over the fresh dirt of a month-long lunar cycle. The sky goes dark, and we go deep.
New moons are potent times for manifestation practices.
Because this is the last new moon before the spring equinox and falls in the sign of possibility, fantasy, and dreaming the proverbial dream, it’s an excellent time to go big with the wishing and hoping and allowing ourselves to believe that the impossible is possible.
Tarot card reader Kerry Ward spoke to The Post about what lies ahead and within under the dark skies of this powerful new moon.

Fire signs – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Five of Coins, Ace of Cups, Judgment
“If ever there was a time to create something beautiful, meaningful, and inspiring from sadness, loss, or regret, then it’s on this New Moon in Pisces,” said Ward.
She urges fire folks to reflect, grieve, and take something from their experience to gift to others.
“This is precious cargo. This is valuable insight that others will crave, need, and use. You might bring it forth in conversation, in a post, via a piece of art or writing… whatever it is, it’s time to recognise and share your wisdom,” she added.
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Five of Cups, Seven of Swords, Three of Cups
Ward asks earth signs to consider if something feels “off” among their inner circle and closest confidantes.
“You need to pay attention to this doubt and validate or dispel it. Maybe this is a shadow self calling out to you that it can see trouble ahead. Maybe this is a piece of baggage or suspicion you’ve been carrying for a long time and need to revisit. Maybe someone is up to no good. Find out,” she said.
Do your digging with the express purpose of pulling the hidden into the light and restoring harmony in your relationships despite, and because of, these revelations.
Air signs – Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
The Emperor, Seven of Wands, Four of Wands
In the transcedental spirit of Pisces, Ward challenges air signs to focus on sharpening their instincts and intuition during this New Moon.
“Maybe it’s time to dust off your tarot cards and start reading yourself, maybe take a class, listen to a witchy podcast, buy a spiritual journal or book. Explore your inner world, your connection to the divine, your ability to sense beyond the five senses,” Ward advised.
She assures that the dark skies of this new moon can illuminate the unseen.
“We all have a unique psychic fingerprint, and you’re ready to discover yours,” she added.
Water signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Two of Wands, The World, The Empress
Ward assures water folks that powerful forces are directing them into a new beginning during this New Moon.
“These beginnings could affect your family (growing?), home (moving?), career (changing?), or love life (restoring and renewing?).”
She shared that while this energy is both positive and progressive, it will come from an ending or conclusion.
“Something is reaching its natural point of closure, and you must recognize that in order to activate the next, new chapter. It will be a heartfelt, emotive shift fuelled by love and desire. You may have a choice to make and, if so, make it from your heart,” she shared.
