The Powerful Energies of Pisces New Moon & Spring Equinox: Release, Reflect & Step Into What’s Next

This Isn’t Just a Reset - It’s the Closing of One Chapter and the Ignition of the Next

There are moments in your life where things feel clear, grounded, and like they’re moving forward…And then there are moments like this. Where things feel uncertain, a little unsteady… like something is shifting beneath the surface, but it hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.

This is one of those moments.

Not because something is wrong… but because you’re standing at a threshold of a whole new era.

What’s Actually Happening Right Now

Right now, we’re moving through the New Moon in Pisces, with Mercury Retrograde also in Pisces, just as we approach the Spring Equinox - the Astrological New Year in Aries.

That’s not just one energy… that’s layers.

Pisces energy is closing cycles. Mercury Retrograde is making you revisit them. And Aries is preparing you to begin again.

Why This Feels So Unclear

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces doesn’t bring neat, logical clarity.

It brings reflection, emotional processing, and things resurfacing that you may have thought were already dealt with.

So while part of you is ready to move forward… another part of you is being asked to slow down and feel what’s still there, including what you thought you had already released.

This is why you might feel foggy, emotional, or unsure.

Not because you’re off track, but because you’re in the middle of clearing space.

The Three Ways This Energy Is Showing Up Right Now

Depending on where you are in this spiral ascension in life, and within your current cycle of growth, this energy will feel different for everyone.

There is no right or wrong way to experience this.

You may notice yourself moving between these:

  1. The Pause
    A slowing down. Lower energy. A need for rest or space. Note this is sometimes combined with number 3.
    This isn’t you being stuck - this is integration.

  2. The Stirring
    A quiet sense that something is shifting, even if you can’t fully explain it yet. You may feel like you know something is going on but can't put your finger on what it is.
    This is your intuition picking up what’s beginning to unfold.

  3. The Edge of Momentum
    Moments of clarity, energy, or the urge to move forward… but not fully consistent yet.
    This is the next cycle starting to come online. Like you're about to be catapulted forward!

The Crystals I’m Working With for This Shift

Depending on how you’re feeling right now: whether you’re in The Pause, The Stirring, or The Edge of Momentum - crystals are supportive tools that can help you move through this energy with more ease, clarity, and support.

Here are the crystals I'm working with for this powerful combination of the Pisces New Moon, Mercury Retrograde, and Spring Equinox:

Black Moonstone – My go-to for every New Moon. It aligns you with the Feminine Divine and the goddess within, protects your energy, and helps you reflect and align your intentions each cycle.

Labradorite – A powerhouse for protection and connection. It opens the door to engaging with your intuition in all its multifaceted ways, helping you receive guidance from your highest self and beyond.

Amethyst – The master healer. Calming and clarifying, it supports the completion of old wounds that Mercury Retrograde may be exposing, allowing you to root out, transmute, and release what no longer serves you — creating space for the new.

Carnelian – Ignites a spark within while supporting your worthiness. It reminds you that you are worth this work and fuels the courage to step into aligned action as the new cycle begins.

Fire Quartz – Brings energy and balance simultaneously - exactly what we need right now. It helps us feel energized without feeling scattered, supporting both reflection and forward movement during this powerful transitional period.

Tip: I love using these stones together to honor the duality of this moment - release and forward movement, reflection and action, endings and beginnings all at once..

Stay tuned I will be posting a video with crystal close ups of these beauties on my socials and on youtube.

Endings and Beginnings… At the Same Time

With the New Moon in Pisces closing out emotional cycles, and the Spring Equinox marking the Astrological New Year in Aries, it can be a real push-pull kind of feeling.

Pisces asks you to release what’s complete. Aries asks you to step into what’s next.

The Equinox is also about balance and that is the saving grace that's helping to stabilize these intense energies just a little bit!

Not choosing one or the other… but allowing the ending and the beginning to exist at the same time.

The Bigger Energy at Play

The Year of the Fire Horse and the Spring Equinox are 2 of the "new years" we have available to us but this year I feel like they really are working together.

We are already in the energy of the Fire Horse, which carries themes of independence, momentum, and bold forward movement.

And when you layer that with the Astrological New Year in Aries, there is a very real sense of forward motion building.

But movement that isn’t aligned won’t last - which is why this phase of reflection and release matters so much.

What You’re Meant to Do With This

This isn’t the time to force clarity or rush decisions. Right now, the Universe is asking you to move with the energy you’re feeling, not against it. Depending on which of the three ways this energy is showing up for you, here’s how to flow with it:

If you’re in The Pause:
Take space. Rest. Give yourself permission to step back from decisions, conversations, or action.
This is integration time - the quiet before the momentum fully hits. Use it to reflect, journal, or simply breathe. The work you do in the stillness now sets the stage for a powerful forward movement.

If you’re in The Stirring:
Notice what’s rising within you: intuitions, nudges, or subtle shifts in your thoughts or feelings.
This is your signal to pay attention. Meditate, connect with your inner guidance, or gently explore what wants to emerge without trying to fix it. You’re feeling the beginnings of the next chapter forming.

If you’re at The Edge of Momentum:
You may feel bursts of clarity or energy, ready to take action.
This is your cue to start moving - but mindfully. Channel this energy into aligned steps, planning, or small actions that reflect what you want to step into, rather than pushing before you’re fully ready.

No matter which place you are in today, the goal is the same: clear the old, honor the present, and create space for what’s next.

You’re not stuck - you’re navigating the space between who you were and who you’re becoming.

And if you’re feeling like you need support moving through this space - this is exactly the work I do. Helping you clear what’s coming up so you can move forward with clarity instead of confusion.
