For parents, this is a time to help kids and youth process their emotions, develop self-care tools, and trust their intuition. Here’s how you can support them through this magical lunar phase.


Understanding the Pisces New Moon Energy for Kids & Teens

🌑 New Moons are new beginnings – a time to set intentions and dream big. Pisces is a water sign, making this lunation one of deep emotions, imagination, and reflection.

✨ What this means for kids & teens:

  • More sensitivity and strong emotions (they may feel overwhelmed or extra dreamy).
  • Increased creativity and imagination – a perfect time for art, music, and storytelling.
  • More daydreaming and escapism – they may need gentle grounding.
  • heightened sense of empathy – emotions from others can easily affect them.

💡 How parents can help:
✔ Validate their emotions – Let them know it’s okay to feel deeply.
✔ Encourage creative outlets – Art, writing, music, or even quiet daydreaming can be soothing.
✔ Provide a safe space to talk – Listen without judgment, especially if they feel uncertain or overwhelmed.
✔ Introduce grounding activities – Simple breathing exercises, nature walks, or mindfulness can help balance emotions.


Ceres Conjunct the New Moon: The Need for Nurturing & Self-Care

🌱 Ceres represents the nurturer – the way we give and receive care, feel safe, and nourish ourselves. With Ceres conjunct the New Moon, children and teens may crave extra comfort, security, and reassurance.

💡 How parents can support this energy:
✅ Offer extra hugs, cuddles, and physical reassurance.
✅ Create a comforting nighttime routine – warm tea, soft blankets, or reading together.
✅ Encourage self-care – even small things like deep breaths, a warm bath, or a cozy space can help them feel safe.
✅ Teach them about emotional boundaries – help them recognize their own emotions vs. those of others.

🌿 Affirmation for Kids & Teens:
“I am safe, loved, and supported. My feelings matter, and I honor them.”


Mars in Cancer Trine the New Moon: Gentle Action & Emotional Strength

🔥 Mars recently stationed direct in Cancer on February 23, making this New Moon a time to start moving forwardwhile honoring emotional needs.

How this energy may show up in kids & teens:

  • A mix of restlessness and emotional release – they may feel torn between action and staying in their comfort zone.
  • A need for emotional expression through movement – dancing, sports, or outdoor play can help.
  • A desire to protect loved ones – they may feel extra attached or want to “caretake” for siblings or pets.

💡 How parents can encourage healthy action:
✔ Let them express emotions through movement – jumping, stretching, or even a dance party!
✔ Teach them to channel energy into something creative – building, painting, crafting, or playing an instrument.
✔ Encourage them to set small, achievable goals – it’s a great time to introduce a new routine or project.

🌟 Affirmation for Kids & Teens:
“I move forward with love and confidence. My emotions guide me, and I trust myself.”


Kapha Season & Grounding Practices for Balance

In Ayurveda, we are in Kapha season, which is associated with cool, heavy, and slow-moving energy. This, combined with the Pisces New Moon’s dreamy nature, can make kids feel extra sleepy, sluggish, or unmotivated.

💡 Ways to balance Kapha energy:
🌞 Encourage movement – morning stretches, dancing, or nature walks.
🍵 Offer warm, nourishing foods – herbal teas, soups, and warm breakfasts can bring comfort.
📖 Create space for quiet reflection – journaling, storytelling, or reading can help kids process their emotions.


New Moon Ritual for Families: Setting Intentions Together

New Moons are a perfect time to set intentions. Here’s a simple family-friendly ritual:

🌙 New Moon Wish Jar ✨
What you need:

  • Small jar or box
  • Pieces of paper
  • Pens, crayons, or markers

Steps:
1️⃣ Talk about the New Moon – Explain that this is a time to dream big and set new goals.
2️⃣ Have each family member write or draw their wishes – This can be a word, phrase, or picture.
3️⃣ Place them in the jar and say an affirmation like:
“May our dreams grow and bloom just like the Moon!”
4️⃣ Keep the jar in a special place and check back next New Moon.

💖 This simple ritual helps children feel empowered in setting goals and believing in their own magic.
