Use the astrology now through April to align with your core values and desires, chart a path forward, and set a firm foundation of personal truths and beliefs (that means cleaning up limiting beliefs, thought and feeling habits, and behaviors and raising vibration to align with where you are going) because you will need it for the second half of this year. As of last Saturday 2/19, when the sun entered Pisces, we are in Pisces season until it moves into Aries at equinox on 3/20. The sun in Pisces means our conscious focus is submerged in the deep waters of this mutable water sign known for inspiration, hidden realms, spirituality, creativity, empathy, and compassion. This is the last sign of the zodiac - the sun's final journey before beginning anew in Aries at equinox. Expect this month to feel extra dreamy, inspirational, and even romantic. This is a time for envisioning and getting inspired - not for making any solid decisions or moves (that comes later). Plus with the sun transiting Pisces (and soon on 3/9 Mercury), we will be picking up on the vibes of Jupiter in Pisces moving towards it's 4/12 conjunction with Neptune (an idealistic new beginning that only occurs once every 16 years) - this is when we want to be tuning into the inspiration and guidance coming through. The key? It's going to be especially important to stay grounded and at the same time connected to higher guidance. To take advantage of the inspiration available during Pisces season and especially with the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, we need to be heart-centered, following our intuition and inner guidance, and grounded - otherwise there is a danger of being deceived or deceiving ourselves, buying into something "too good to be true," or getting lost in fantasy and/or escapism. Use the astrology now to set your foundation for the 2nd half of the year. The astrology hits a big change point with the first eclipse portal, the first half of May, and then by mid-summer we are into the challenging second half of the year that is going to be reviews and the kind of pressure that forces growth due to challenging planetary aspects popping up all over during the retrogrades. This eclipse portal is our first on the Taurus/Scorpio axis since the lunar nodes shifted signs in mid-January. Since mid-2020, our appetite and direction of growth collectively was focused in Gemini, the sign of information and communication. Now it is in Taurus until mid-2023. This first eclipse portal of the year in May, just 2 weeks after the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces, is opening us up to our hunger for enjoying the pleasures of life and feeling secure, and it's no surprise after the past couple of years of setbacks, restrictions, upheaval, fear, and loss with the pandemic. At the beginning of August, Mars will meet up with both Uranus, the change-bringer, and the north node, the point of increase, appetite, and desires, in Taurus. This is a big turning point in the year that is going to add major fuel to this fire and lock in our course for the 2nd half of the year. It "sparks things off," so to speak. Mars ups the desire factor and impatience, and Uranus can bring rebellion. These combining with the north node, point of destiny, suggests a major change in direction for the collective, and taking into account the challenging astrology of the 2nd half of the year, it's going to be a bumpy ride for a bit. This is why it is so important to connect with the inspiration and higher guidance we can access during Pisces season and through the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in mid-April starting now (and especially with the 3/2 Pisces new moon conjunct Jupiter and the 3/4 Mars-Venus-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn). We need to align with our ideal vision for the future now, and really focus on weeding out limiting beliefs and thought/behavior habits and start cultivating the energy (beliefs, thoughts, emotions, behavior) that supports this. We are going to need to be locked in solidly to our unshakable personal truths about ourselves, life, and the world, when the storm hits mid-summer. Mindset matters - vibe is everything. Here are some notes about this Pisces Season:
Looking beyond Pisces Season into Aries Season.... March 20th is equinox - when the sun enters Aries. But what Venus started with Uranus right as Pisces season ended is setting the stage for what's to come in Aries season. Mars will follow in Venus' footsteps 3/21 - 3/23 squaring Uranus - easy does it - this one can be truly volatile. Watch out for angry outbursts. Take and give space. Healthy boundaries all the way. Mercury meets up with Jupiter and then Neptune, and then sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, before moving into Aries on 3/27 - this will again give us info about the upcoming conjunction between the two in mid-April - this time maybe inspired ideas? Through all of this we are moving towards a significant point along our journey - 3/28 and 3/29 - Venus conjunct Saturn. This is another conjunction, so yet another beginning of a cycle, and this time it is in Aquarius, between the Venus, planet of love, money, and self-worth, and Saturn, the mentor and Lord of Karma. But Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, where Venus and Mars just made their big conjunction with Pluto, and it also is strong in Aquarius, the sign it traditionally rules. Aquarius is the innovative and humanitarian sign of the future and thinking outside the box, and also a big fan of freedom and spontaneity. Take note of what kind of new beginnings are becoming solidified now, how they tie into the 3/4 Venus-Mars-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn, and compare notes with what came up as sun and Mercury made conjunctions with both Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces in recent weeks to get an idea of where all of this is going. The last half of this year, and particularly September and October is marked by layers of retrogrades on top of each other and difficult aspects - right now we are being given the support, information, and guidance (if we are paying attention) to set our course and get solid on our foundation of personal truths and beliefs to weather the coming waves with grace and ease.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
