After the great inner cleansing orchestrated by the full blood moon on March 3, which was also a lunar eclipse, the new moon on March 19 heralds greater emotional serenity. It closes the eclipse period and invites us to begin the process of integrating everything we’ve experienced in the previous month. It also marks the beginning of the new lunar cycle, inviting introspection. Astrologer Bérénice Delignat guides us through its energies, as well as the rituals we can use to perform an emotional reset.. What will the new moon of March 19 bring?. “The new moon in Pisces opens a deeply inner cycle. Unlike lunations that push us to act or decide quickly, this one acts as a gentle tide, inviting us to slow down, feel and reconnect to something larger than the mind,” Delignat says. It also comes at a pivotal moment in the astrological calendar: a new moon just before the sun enters Aries, which traditionally marks the beginning of the astrological year. “It’s a time of gestation, an invitation to connect with oneself before the movement accelerates in the following weeks,” Delignat explains. “The dominant energy of Pisces makes the climate more intuitive and emotional. You may feel less analytical and more in touch with your feelings, as if you understand things in a way other than just mentally.”. At the same time, Uranus in Taurus acts as a real trigger. This planet of rupture upsets our relationship to security and habits. Uranus acts as a liberator, pushing us to leave behind attachments that no longer really secure us in order to open up a new, freer cycle. “There’s a silent space within each of us that remembers that life is not just about what we control, but also about what we choose to move through with confidence,” Delignat says. When we slow down enough to listen to this space, something calms. We realise that we’re not alone in carrying our lives, that the divine also works through us, often in the unseen. “The soul doesn’t need certainty; it needs openness. And sometimes, the greatest wisdom consists simply in trusting the path that emerges step by step.”. Which astrological signs will be most impacted by this new moon?. “Water signs Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio will particularly feel the emotional and intuitive intensity of this lunation. Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius could also experience important realisations, as this energy upsets their usual reference points and their way of controlling situations,” Delignat says.. What ritual should you put in place to take advantage of these energies?. “In a quiet moment, take a sheet of paper and write down what you’re still trying to control in your life. Then ask yourself honestly: is it really protecting me, or is it holding me back? Close your eyes for a few minutes and imagine releasing these tensions into the water, which is the symbol of Pisces. Let them dissolve.” Delignat recommends writing down a single intention for this new cycle: something simpl
