New Moon in Pisces (Uttara Bhādrapada) – Lunar New Year

This New Moon on March 19 at 01.23 UT marks the Lunar New Year in the Vedic calendar, signalling an important reset for 2026 and setting the tone until the next New Moon in Pisces in April 2027.The New Moon falls in Uttara Bhādrapadā, 'the latter auspicious steps', a lunar mansion in the heart of sidereal Pisces. This brings emotional depth and moral gravity, but also a necessary slowness — especially with Saturn and Neptune moving deliberately through the sign.Uttara Bhādrapadā is empathetic and virtuous, capable of carrying collective feeling, yet it can also require withdrawal and solitude to process the bigger changes. A New Moon naturally calls for retreat, and this Lunar New Year marks a particularly meaningful pause and reset.Be patient with the changes unfolding now. They are slow by necessity, laying the groundwork for changes that are real, enduring, and deeply rooted.
