New Moon in Paris (Pisces) Horoscopes
‘Cause anywhere with you feels right
Anywhere with you feels like
Paris in the rain
Paris in the rain
In Lauv’s song Paris in the Rain, he sings about how he feels perfect when he’s with the woman he loves: Anywhere and everywhere with her feels like Paris in the rain. She seems to take him away to this Utopian universe — no matter where he really is. If we think about it, she just really makes him feel good, despite everything else.
On Feb. 23, 2020, the New Moon in Pisces invites us to enjoy Paris in the rain i.e., feeling good, despite everything else.
New Moons symbolize the end of one cycle and the beginning of another for 28 days. New Moons give us a fresh page in which we can write a new story. This makes the New Moon an excellent time for hitting “reset” on ourselves and our lives. Even more so now with Mercury Retrograde until March 9 (and in its shadow period until March 29), this new moon can help us change habits, behaviors, and beliefs as we create for ourselves rich, rewarding lives with the right combination of things to make us well and happy. Get a head-start on creating an amazing spring for yourself today!
To make the most of this New Moon, venture into imaginative Pisces territory: If there’s something that you want (more love, money, happiness) use your imagination to contemplate what it would feel like to have it, and stay in that state often. In maintaining the state of having what is desired, irrespective of the actual reality, we broadcast that energy out to the universe and attract back to ourselves similar energy. This is how the Law of Attraction works.
This New Moon, give up the struggle but don’t give up the love. Become one with your desire. Lose yourself in the feeling of having what you want. Care, but don’t care too much. In this state of surrender, you’ll allow things to unfold in miraculous, magical ways. Who could ask for more on a Pisces New Moon?

ARIES: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Twelfth House of the Subconscious, and Mercury will be retrograding there, too! Use the next 28 days to take it down a notch and get in touch with your inner being: reflecting, meditating, and implementing positive subconscious beliefs will be time well spent!
This is an important transit for you, Aries, as it’s the precursor to your next birthday year. Just as a diver steadies himself before taking the plunge, you too should take the next few weeks to poise yourself and be subconsciously prepared. We get what we subconsciously believe we are, so use this time to empower your inner dialogue. That’s what the universe hears — your inner conversations with yourself.
In addition to resting and reflecting, reconsider how you want your life to be and what you’d like it to look like. Tap into the feelings you want to experience, using your imagination to visualize having what you want…perfect health, a surplus of money, an amazing mate, etc. The subconscious can’t differentiate between what’s being imagined and what’s actually happening, so in doing this, you’ll be aligning your vibration with your desires for your next birthday year. While moving through life from that place of fulfillment, take inspired, actionable steps toward the goal. You’re a powerhouse, Aries: Shortcut your manifestations by feeling relief and embodying/surrendering to the dream. Everything you want wants you, too.
TAURUS: The Pisces New Moon will transit your Eleventh House of Hopes, Dreams, Wishes and Friends, and Mercury is retrograding here, too: Over the next 28 days, take time to reconsider your greatest hopes, dreams, wishes and ideals. With radical Uranus in your sign, anything can happen! Remember, the 11th House is the house of “why not?” Why not give yourself permission to go after your big dreams? Help along the way will be your friends or groups of like-minded people also inspired about life and all it has to offer.
Because Mercury’s retrograding through this area of your chart, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with people from the past. You’ll get a chance to revive old friendships, old flames, and old professional relationships — networking now with people from the past could be game-changing.
As always, first tap into your DESERVABILITY and WORTHINESS and then take actionable steps to materialize your goals. Even if a specific strategy doesn’t yield the results you desire, remember that the energy you put forth doesn’t just evaporate — it’s put toward your end-game in ways unbeknownst to you.
Make sure to stay clear over the next 28 days, keeping up with diet, exercise, and rest so the power of universe can easily run through you to help you manifest your miracles. All miracles are based on love, and the more friends, dreams and communities you can let love you now, the better!
GEMINI: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Tenth House of Career, and Retrograde Mercury will be hanging out there, too! Because you’re Mercury ruled, you’re much better at communicating than most of us, but when the winged messenger retrogrades, you can also take quite the hit!
Use the next few weeks to rest, replenish and reconsider that email before you click “send!” With the New Moon and Mercury transiting the career sector of your chart, this is a game-changing time, but it’s not a race! Reconsider your career goals over the next 28 days, and don’t make any sudden moves unless they’ve been in the works for some time. You’re in an advantageous position now professionally, but — to make the best use of Mercury Retrograde — go after endeavors that had been started before, as opposed to brand-spanking one that have “come up out of the blue.”
While using the New Moon’s energy to manifest, it never hurts to keep things general. How you want to feel is not likely to change: You probably want to feel more appreciated career-wise…rewarded, esteemed, respected, applauded. How about just focusing on these emotions you want to experience for the time being, and see what comes up? Sure, take inspired action — even under retrograde — just make sure what you do is not risky business.
Additionally, former VIPs (think CEOs, bosses, etc.) could be important for you now. Though the retrograde is not great for brand new relationships, it’s great for those that were established before. If you still hold a torch for someone and you believe they’re for your greatest good, why not reach out if so inclined? Further, if you’re looking for a recommendation, referral, or a business opportunity, go through LinkedIn or your Rolodex and see whose name pops out to you. Cheers to your career, Gemini! Just take it slow and know that all that glitters may not be gold and that silence can be golden.
CANCER: The Pisces New Moon will transit your Ninth House of Expansion, and Mercury Retrograde will be in this area of your chart, too! Though it’s not the best time to launch a new project (unless it’s been started before), it’s a great time for planning one!
Same thing with long-distance travels. You may have itchy feet over the next 28 days, wanting to bust out of the familiar. Though planning a trip now is better than actually going on one, if that doesn’t relieve you, consider returning someplace you had been before (a little Mercury Retrograde trick to avoid snafus!).
Since this transit in your chart also rules publishing and getting your message out, this is a great time to dust off that old manuscript and revise it! Same thing with old blog posts, résumés, and other marketing collateral: Revise what’s been done instead of starting from scratch. This New Moon is all about expansion, but because it’s retrograde, it’ll be easiest to expand through stuff that had been started before.
If you’re looking to light up your brain, reviewing old notebooks or reading books you’ve read before will be very helpful — you’ll grasp concepts in a much better way and gain a deeper sense of appreciation. Most important, use this period to consider where you want to go in the world — literally and figuratively. Embrace your limitless potential and start planning for Spring. If you can perceive it, you can achieve it — just get comfortable with the idea of being outside of your comfort zone so it feels good when you’re actually there.
LEO: The Pisces New Moon will transit your Eighth House of Rebirth, and Mercury will be retrograding through this area of your chart, too. The only constant in the universe is change; change, therefore, is stability and this is the theme for you now.
So, Leo — what’s your pleasure? Do you want a brand new life? Or just some adjustments to the one you have now? The point of this transit is empowerment through transformation. Because of the retrograde, it may be best to not make any sudden moves; however, if something’s been in the works and it’s organic and natural — why not?
Take this time to tap into the type of person you want to be or — even better — an aspect of yourself you had played up more before. Consider when you were most happy — what were you doing? Whether it was when you were in relationship, working at a particular job, or wrapped up in a passion, why not return to such a state again?
Since this transit also pertains to boundaries, it may also behoove you to know which doors you should keep shut! The Retrograde tends to bring back people from the past, so let’s remember our lessons about leopards and their spots! The theme of letting go is also strong over the next 28 days, as that’s another way to empower yourself. Even if your transition pertains to a significant gain, there’s still a need to mourn and fully release the past for a fresh, new start.
VIRGO: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Seventh House of Partnerships, and Mercury will be retrograding through this area of your chart, too. Over the next 28 days, you’ll have an opportunity to strengthen the partnerships you’re in and revitalize some old alliances, should you feel that’s a good idea.
In fact, people from the past may be popping up through March 9 (and in the Retrograde’s shadow period, until the 29th) due to the retrograde; therefore, it’s with people from the past now with whom you can make the most gains. Take it slow with new relationships that come about, as it is retrograde, and that Prince/Princess charming may not be what they seem! Keep in mind your old lessons in relationships, as you may be tested.
Further, try to hold off on signing any contracts; if you have to sign, make sure you go through the legalese with a fine-tooth comb or — even better — have a lawyer take a look.
What’s great about this period is that you’ll have the chance to really examine your relationships — what and how you contribute and what you’d like to get back.
Make sure to be extra clear in your communications with partners now, and don’t jump to conclusions as things may not be as they seem! While you can double-down on your commitment to your partner now, if you’re not in a relationship, use the next four weeks to get clear on what you want in one.
Think back to your past loves and what you loved about each one; this may help you create a “composite sketch” that clarifies exactly what you’re looking for. Some purposeful reflection about all your partnerships — past, present and the ones you want in the future — will be a brilliant way to for you to spend Pisces New Moon Mercury Retrograde in your Seventh House if you’re on/in the market for a one and only.
LIBRA: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Sixth House of Lifestyle, and this area of your chart will also be affected by Mercury Retrograde. This transit is typically about “health” and “work” — what we do day-in, day-out. Thus, you’re in the perfect position to really improve your daily goings-on.
Reflect on what you want your life to be like. If it’s a new job you’re looking for, consider companies/clients with whom you have a history, as that would be most advantageous under the retrograde. For instance, a job you had thought about before, had applied to in the past, or even held down previously. And if you’ve started your job search already and want a brand new one, no worries: Mercury Retrograde won’t thwart efforts already begun (although you’ll still have to consider the fine print!).
Likewise, the next 28 days is great for fine-tuning your health and fitness regime. Consider returning to a regimen you had results with in the past, as opposed to starting a completely different one. Consider what adjustments will make your body feel as perfect as possible. Essentially, you can use this cycle to get your body running like a well-oiled machine.
And while you are, reflect on the combination of things that would make you feel well and happy: What work would you do, how would your body feel, what recreational activities would you enjoy? With the right balance of things in place, you’ll find everything supports everything else.
SCORPIO: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Fifth House of Pleasure, and Mercury Retrograde will be affecting this area of your life, too! Now this “pleasure” may not be the deep, transformational kind your sign may be used to; instead, it’s less intense, more about fun, joy — those things that really light you up. This could be romance, for sure, but it’s a time to play and enjoy your inner child more than anything else.
With Mercury’s retrograde, you may find old passions from the past coming up; for instance, old lovers and other things you used to like to do, like hobbies, games and sports (Tennis, anyone?). In fact, this is a great time to revitalize any old passion you have, like writing, painting, etc.
If an ex love should come back into your life, it could be good, if previously it was a “right-person-wrong-time” scenario. If you’ve been on the hunt for new love, you’ll get to double-down on your efforts now, even if it’s retrograde because your search had been started before. Still, take new love connections now with a grain of salt, as things may not be as they seem under the retrograde!
Most important over the next 28 days is to reflect on what gives your heart joy. This is a great time to re-experience stuff that you really enjoyed before, so think about about the good times you’ve had and do those things again!
The energetic field around your heart is way more powerful than your brain, so the more you make your heart happy, the better you’ll be able to generate energy and create your best life. Use this cycle to rediscover what lights you up and you’ll experience life more fully come spring!
SAGITTARIUS: The Pisces New Moon will transit your Fourth House of Emotional Security, and Mercury Retrograde will be affecting this area of your chart, too. Now’s the time to find your “happy place” — i.e., what makes you feel yummy inside and emotionally at peace.
Though this transit can pertain to your physical home, your true “home” you take around with you wherever you go. Thus, take some time over the next 28 days to really nurture yourself and understand what self-care does you the most good.
If you’re looking to move and have already started house-hunting process, continue — just take an extra look to ensure it’s the right place for you, and read the paperwork thoroughly before signing. If you haven’t started your search for a new home yet, now’s great for reflecting on what you want it to be like. Mercury Retrograde is also ideal for researching, so you may find lots of information that will help your search.
Finally, family may be important this cycle, and those you haven’t heard from in awhile may come back around. This is a great period to re-establish deep connections. In fact, this is the perfect time for a reunion: Under retrograde, you can pick up right where you had left off with people from the past, as if it was just yesterday you were all hanging out!
All in all, this transit is about you getting a better understanding of what makes you feel good. In deepening your understanding of what you need emotionally, you’ll have an emotional foundation on which your best, most amazing life can be built.
CAPRICORN: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Third House of Communication; this is also the area Mercury will be retrograding through your chart. Because Mercury rules communication, and communication is your theme now, you’ll have to be extra cognizant of Miranda — of Miranda Rights Fame — knows: When in doubt, leave it out! Likewise, read your emails over before you send and take time to ensure all your ducks are in their respective rows.
Still, you’re a human being and need to express yourself. Do what you can to release bent-up energy in productive, wise ways. Even amping up your fitness regimen to release your frustrations could be a good idea.
Still, this is a New Moon and you’ll have the opportunity to improve your communication skills and your social life. The most important communications you have, of course, are with yourself, so make sure no matter how busy you are, you’re talking to yourself like you’re your greatest friend.
Also give yourself some buffer room for the next few weeks —leave early, as traffic can be gnarly under the retrograde; pad your deadlines while you’re at it, as all things under the retrograde tend to take longer than they should.
Your social life should be abuzz, too; just know that events probably won’t turn out the way you had expected — they could turn out even better, but still, manage your expectations. If possible, aim to attend gatherings and places you’ve been to before, as that will lessen the likelihood of events going awry.
This is a great 28-day cycle to clarify the things you like to do socially, and some events under the retrograde are actually “destined,” so don’t hide under the covers. All in all, use the next 28 days to slow down and be clear in the message that you want to convey. Then convey that message.
AQUARIUS: The New Moon in Pisces will transit your Second House of Self-Worth and Finance, and this is also where Mercury is retrograding in your chart. New Moons pertain to new beginnings, but because Mercury’s retrograde, there’s a better chance for successful new beginnings with anything that’s been started before.
Consider the states of flow you’ve experienced before, as this transit is about creating more abundance in your life. Reflect back to when you were expressing yourself most fully, felt physically most amazing, or were flourishing financially. If you can’t recall such times, pull from your imagination of what you’d imagine what having what you want would feel like. Do this often enough, and you’ll be creating a framework for the things you want to flow into your life.
Now that you’ve grown wiser, you know better what you want, what you can do to get it, and hold onto it; another aspect of the 2nd House is staying true to your values, which will allow you to flow more value into the universe.
Over the next 28 days, you’ll have the opportunity to ground yourself to what feels right. Start with the throat chakra, as your power center this new moon is your voice, and expressing the energy in your throat will be what allows your goals to materialize. In doing this, you may come to certain conclusions about your self-worth, and how you might be disenfranchising yourself.
When you start expressing yourself and opening up the throat chakra, you’ll come to conclusions, so express yourself: Create art, speak openly with others, or even just write out what you have to “get off your chest” so that your heart is open; with an open heart, you can flow with who you are, and what you need to feel abundant will flow as well.
PISCES: This is a very powerful New Moon for you, as it transits your First House of Identity; this is the area that Mercury is retrograding through your chart, too. Lately, you may be feeling like you want to experience something different from what you’ve been experiencing. But what is it? What is it?
This confusing period now is a rite of passage. Soon, as you feel your way through life, you may start to sense things click — “Yes, this is it, this is what I want!” you say. In experiencing your highest excitement, you know you’re on the right track and most in touch with who you really are.
Being so fluid, you don’t have to work hard to achieve more happiness this New Moon. Just as when water enters a cup, it becomes the cup, as you experience the emotions you want to experience more of, you become the embodiment of those emotions — the personification of them — which will result in attracting the correlating experiences.
With Mercury Retrograde, you may get a glimpse of what in past had helped shape who you are. Even better, with more perspective now, in looking back, you can “cherry pick” and conceive what feelings and experiences you’d like to experience again — but this time in a much more full, rich and informed way now, helping you avoid repeating past mistakes.
Know that stuff from the past may come up over the next few weeks: People from the past, songs from the past, movies you loved, creative expression you enjoyed. This is all happening so you can clarify what you want to now include in your life for a new normal. Reflect on those things that had made you happy in the past; reacquaint yourself with them and discover if they may make you happy again or not.
In terms of manifesting what you want this new moon, it’s a no-brainer for you. “I would feel overjoyed if this happened!” you say. Well, then, feel overjoyed! Think about when you had felt overjoyed before or imagine what it will feel like to be overjoyed when you get what you desire. This journey to your highest joy, your most exalted self, will help you invent a new self that you and others will fall in love with all over again.
