Journaling with the Moon: New Moon in Pisces
A Soul Journaling Ritual for the New Moon in Pisces
Welcome back to the Journaling with the Moon series! These Soul Journaling Sessions are intended to help us honor the Tarot Card of 2025, the Hermit, and the secondary card of the year, the Moon, as well as the energies behind the current moon phase. These sessions bring us into deep self-reflection and help us hear our Soul’s wisdom.
Below you will find a summary of the big themes of this New Moon, a message for the New Moon, and a Soul Journaling Ritual that includes a visualization/activation, a direct question for the Soul, and journal prompts that speak to the themes of this New Moon. You can choose to do as much or as little of this ritual as you like. All that is required is your presence and intention.
New Moon in Pisces Themes
The New Moon in Pisces arrives on February 27 at 7:44 PM ET. You may find yourself:
Feeling big emotions as this Astrological year comes to a close (Pisces is the last sign of the Zodiac wheel), so be kind to yourself and let yourself feel into them in a safe space
Naturally wrapping things up and creating closure as you integrate all the lessons you’ve learned from the previous Zodiac seasons
Feeling hopeful and optimistic about your dreams and/or having the urge to dream big as you begin to see the bright side of things and all you’ve learned
Getting clear on what matters to you in this life and naturally wanting to assess whether everything around you or that you’re doing is in alignment, then deciding to release or bring to an end what isn’t
Surrendering to the natural ebb and flow of life’s up and downs and putting your trust into divine timing and guidance
Having heightened intuition and developing a stronger connection to the Spirit World, so watch for any signs or symbols from your Spirit Team
(My sources for many things Astrology and Moon related are the Seasons of the Zodiac: Love, Magick, and Manifestation Throughout the Astrological Year by Stephanie Campos and the Moonology 2025 Diary by Yasmin Boland. I also found this post from Forever Conscious helpful.)
Your Soul Journaling Ritual for the New Moon in Pisces
Before sitting down to journal, set up a nice, cozy space. In addition to your favorite journaling materials, you could bring out a candle to light, set up some essential oils to diffuse, set out your favorite crystals, and display the Tarot cards you might want to work with for this New Moon. You could also bring out an Oracle deck.
For Tarot, here’s what I suggest having nearby or on your altar this New Moon:
The Hermit (Card for 2025, which reminds us of the importance of going within and letting our inner wisdom guide us)
The Moon (Secondary card for 2025 and also the Major Arcana card associated with Pisces, which reminds us of the importance of deep, honest reflection so we can see ourselves clearly. You can read more about Pisces and the Moon, and journal on the themes, in my recent post.)
Your Tarot card(s) of the year (If you don’t know what it is yet, discover it here.)
Your message from the Hermit and the Moon (x2):
Respect your inner wisdom. Respect your intuition.
Go make your beautiful dream your reality.
Once you’ve gathered the materials you’d like, settle in to do the Soul Journaling Session below, which includes a visualization and activation and a Soul Prompt. The prompt is written as a direct question to your Soul, and this is the prompt we use for every New Moon. The recording of me leading you through this is below, as well as a written out version for you to follow along with.
If you’d like to go deeper and you have more time, you’ll find prompts specifically speaking to the themes of this New Moon in Pisces immediately following the Soul Journaling Session.
After taking a couple deep breaths to settle, follow the visualization below, and say silently to yourself or aloud the statements in italics.
Ground yourself.
Imagine there are roots growing from beneath you. These roots travel deep down, connecting you to the center of the Earth. Perhaps there is a glowing ball of light or even a crystal at the center of the Earth that you are connecting to.
Thank you, Mother Earth and Ancestors for being with me today, and helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Connect to the Universe/Divine or the Moon
Imagine now that there is a beautiful rose gold light flowing down like a waterfall from the sky/the Universe, above you. Perhaps the light is coming directly from the Moon. Choose the source that is speaking to you most today.
Thank you, Spirit Team, for protecting and guiding me today. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Thank you, Moon, for guiding me as I go deep within to reflect. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Focus on the light now as it illuminates the crown of your head. This beautiful, warm light activates your inner wisdom, connecting you to your Higher Self.
The light then travels to your third eye. Your intuition is activated.
The light settles in your heart space. Here, you feel and connect to your soul.
Thank you, Higher Self, for guiding me and allowing me to hear my intuition and inner wisdom.
Thank you, Soul, for speaking your story through me, and allowing me to hear your wisdom.
The light continues to flow. It moves down your whole body, washing away and releasing anything you do not need to bring with you into this practice.
Thank you, Higher Self, Soul, and Spirit team for helping me release what doesn’t serve me or this practice today.
Focus again on that light within your heart, and take a deep breath in.
Exhale, sigh it out, letting that light shine outward, opening communication with your soul.
Perhaps you even see this light reach your hands as you prepare to write, the wisdom it carries ready to flow through you and your writing.
When you are ready, gently return to your space, blink your eyes a couple times, and then gather your journaling materials.
Question for the Soul
The question for your Soul on the New Moon is:
Soul, where are you leading me this New Moon? What intention would you like for me to set for this new cycle?
Sit, listen, and feel into a response for however long you need to. Write down whatever comes up in whatever form it comes in. Perhaps you just write words or even sketch something you see.
If you want extra support or additional insight, pull a Tarot or Oracle card and use this as a jumping off point. Do whatever feels right in the moment.
Your New Moon in Pisces Journal Prompts
Feel free to play sound healing or comforting music in the background while you meditate and journal. I’ve included a track created by my husband below.
If I view the last year of my life as a story, what were the big themes? What themes am I ready to bring to resolution, and what would I like to carry forward?
What big dreams have I been holding within my heart, and why am I capable of achieving these dreams?
How can my experiences and lessons learned in this past year help me bring me closer to realizing my dreams?
What might be revealed—and what might be possible—if I were to fully surrender and trust in divine timing?
Where am I ready to dream even bigger? How can tapping into intuition and divine guidance help me with this?

Wow, thanks for this!
Wow! I know as a cancer I shouldn’t really be surprised that this was deep, but it still gets me every time how things align so beautifully ✨. It was a special day. Thank you for this!
