March 2024: Tarot spread for the new moon in Pisces

Plus an astro-tarot forecast, journaling questions and an exploration of the Sabian symbol for the new moon in Pisces.

The March 2024 new moon falls in the sign of Pisces. The Pisces archetype is highly intuitive and very open to the flow of creative imagination. This is the sign of creative dreamers and mystics and visionaries, which makes this full moon an excellent time to flex your intuitive and creative muscles.

Spiritually, the Pisces archetype teaches the principle of unity, of recognizing the divinity within you. One way to understand this principle is by looking at creation – the creator {God, Universe, Source, however you wish to name it} created this earth, the rivers and seas, the trees, birds, insects, animals, man. Similarly, man has the ability to create – and to create consciously. It is this ability that points to the spiritual truth of Pisces, that we are spiritual beings having a human experience {with the emphasis on our humanness in all its frailty and beauty}. It is by accepting responsibility for consciously creating – which isn’t always easy – that you connect most deeply with the creator. Needless to say, empathy and compassion are the cornerstones of the Pisces archetype.

This new moon can also usher in a cycle of change, encouraging us to release old patterns, blocks, and goals that may be going nowhere. What is holding you back? What needs to be released? These are some of the questions that this new moon highlights. Look to what excites you…what feels vital and juicy at this time. Focus on that, letting anything that is holding you back from following those clues fall away to the wayside.

This new moon is also a good time to refresh our rituals. Our small daily rituals can anchor us, providing touchstones on which we structure our days. But it’s all too easy to skip these little rituals when things become chaotic, or for our rituals to start feeling stale. How can you refresh your daily rituals? How can you invite moments of daily magic into your days? Recommit to your daily rituals, or design new ones during this new moon cycle.

Astro-tarot influences for the March 2024 new moon in Pisces

To throw some more light on the March new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Pisces new moon falls in decan 3, which is represented by the Ten of Cups. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Moon, which is associated with Pisces.

The 10 of Cups exudes contentment — a moment in time when everything is right in our world. It can feel rare, it’s often fleeting, but when we are in that moment, we wish it could stretch out forever.

Contentment often gets a bad rap, equated with complacency and to being in a comfort zone. But contentment and complacency are two subtly but wildly different things. And comfort zones can be, well, comfortable, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with wanting to be comfortable. Except that when we are comfortable, we aren’t chasing every new shiny thing, which makes the capitalist machine very unhappy. So is it any surprise, then, that the over culture has convinced us that the only way to “personal growth” and to achieving anything “meaningful” is to keep breaking through our comfort zones?

This new moon can help us see through the illusions of the over culture, to recognise the lies that keep us feeling trapped and unhappy.

With visionary Neptune, structured Saturn, and mercurial Mercury all making a conjunction with the Moon, we have some phenomenal astrology to work with during this moon cycle.

Pay attention to your dreams — sleeping dreams and day dreams both. Be alert for secret messages, signs, and synchronicity. Be mindful of the words and intentions you put out into the ethers at this time. Your words, after all, are spells. And take concrete action on your intentions and new moon wishes. The things you set into motion during this lunation have a very good chance of taking root, as Uranus, the planet of change, makes a sextile with the moon.

Chiron, the wounded healer, is also active during this lunation, lending it a gentle, healing quality before we head into eclipse season.

Sabian Symbol for the March 2024 new moon

The Sabian Symbol for Pisces 20 degrees is A Little White Lamb, A Child And A Servant.

There’s something very comforting about this symbol, isn’t there? A child with a little lamb to hold close to her heart and someone to take care of her needs and provide her with care and comfort.

Maybe you see yourself as the little child who is surrounded by softness or as the one who is providing safety and comfort to those around you.

There’s a certain sense of security associated with this symbol. Of being protected and sheltered; loved and cared for; and extending that protection and love to those around you.
