Before spring arrives on March 20, and Mercury retrograde descends on March 22, the Pisces new moon March 17 ushers in opportunities for a much-needed fresh start. If you're wondering what this celestial trifecta means for you, March 2018 new moon astrology predictions focus on what The Moon Woman calls the dark feminine. "It is a time of going deep within to acknowledge the core wounds [and] beliefs that drive our outer behavior," she writes. "It is a time of communion, truth [and] honesty with ourselves. It is the most challenging time of the monthly emotional cycle."

Personally, I've already been feeling the effects of Saturday's forthcoming new moon, which happens to arrive on St. Patrick's Day. According to The Moon Woman's website, "Pisces evokes the archetypal wise woman," and the main message for every sign during the March 2018 new moon is that it's OK to ask for help. "If you’ve been challenged in the lead up to this new moon, remember you don’t need to suffer by trying to solve your challenge alone." What's more, Astrology King noted on their website that the new moon is closely aligned with the minor planet Chiron, known as the wounded healer.

"The March 2018 new moon makes aspects to Mars and Uranus that form an aspect pattern called a Medium Learning Triangle," Astrology King explained. "A conflict or crisis will add salt to your exposed wound but new discoveries and higher self-awareness will lead to rapid healing." Just how will the March 2018 new moon affect you directly? This is what the March 17 new moon means for every sign.
