According to astrologers, the Moon during this period will have an impact on mood and health, as well as open up new prospects in love and career.

New Moon in February – 2025: date and exact time of occurrence
The moon goes through four main phases during its one lunar cycle, which lasts approximately 29.5 days. The Earth's natural satellite may be in the phase of a new moon, a waxing moon, a full moon, and a waning moon. Their change is caused by a change in the relative position of the Earth, Moon and Sun. Therefore, in each of the phases, the illumination of the visible part of the lunar disk changes.
The new moon occurs at the moment when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. During this period, the Earth's satellite is not visible in the night sky. Astrologically, the new moon is considered the time of the beginning of a new cycle, suitable for planning and thinking about the future.
The waxing Moon occurs about a week after the new moon. At this moment, half of the moon's disk is illuminated, so the moon is partially visible in the evening. This phase symbolizes growth and development, encouraging active actions and the implementation of planned plans.
A full moon occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and the entire visible lunar disk is fully illuminated. During this period, the satellite becomes the brightest and most energetically active.The full moon is associated with the culmination of processes, emotional uplift, and completion of work that has begun.
The waning moon appears in the sky immediately after the full moon. During these few days, the illumination of the Earth's natural satellite gradually decreases until the Moon finally disappears from view. This phase symbolizes completion, analysis of the work done and preparation for a new cycle.
On February 28, 2025, at 03:47 Moscow time, the new moon in the sign of Pisces will come. At this point, the moon will be completely hidden from the observer. The moon's visibility will be 0%, and it will be indistinguishable in the night sky even in clear weather. The first lunar day will last only a few hours — until 07:42 Moscow time, after which the next lunar day will begin. A special feature of this new moon is its position in the Pisces water sign, which enhances intuition, emotionality and a tendency to daydream. After the new moon, the Earth's satellite will enter the phase of the growing Moon, which will last from March 1 to March 13.
