The Moon catches up with the Sun at 9°41′ Pisces on 28 February 2025, 00:46 UTC. Both bodies stand at the same degree, which is what a new moon is: the Moon is between us and the Sun, its lit face turned away, invisible from the ground.
Traditionally this is the start of a cycle rather than the end of one — the point at which something is begun quietly and without much evidence it will work. The water quality of Pisces colours what is being started: the beginning is felt rather than decided, and it will make sense emotionally long before it makes sense on paper.
Because Pisces is mutable, the cycle it opens tends to change shape several times before settling into whatever it was actually for.
Times are UTC, computed from the ephemeris rather than transcribed. Positions are geocentric and tropical.
