Tip of the week

Already there are six and at the time of the New Moon on March 11 there will be seven planets in Pisces!

The Sun entered Pisces on February 18 at 4:02 a.m. PST.  Mars and Mercury were already there since February 1st and 5th, respectively. Neptune and Chiron have been in close alignment in Pisces since April 2011. Mercury turned retrograde in Pisces on the 23rd. By the time it finally enters Aries on April 13th it will have been in Pisces, generally a challenging sign position for Mercury, for 67 days. Venus enters Pisces six hours after the Full Moon on February 25, where it will remain until Spring Equinox. Mars will remain in Pisces until March 11, when it enters Aries, coinciding with the New Moon in Pisces!

This 12th Sign of the Zodiac is the most mysterious and mystical of all. Where Aries is the newborn infant and Aquarius is the elder, Pisces symbolizes the disembodied soul. The oceanic realms of the world, of the subconscious, of the cosmos and of the many levels of the Astral Dimensions are all symbolically linked to Pisces. No person manifests the fullness of an archetype, yet people who are strongly influenced by Pisces, Neptune and the 12th House, at best, tend to be at wise, mystical, poetic, psychic compassionate, and imaginative geniuses. At worst, those strongly influenced by Pisces tend to be repressed, depressed, oblivious and prone to hyper-sensitivity, self-pity, denial, escapism and addiction. As the teeter totters, most people tend to at least occasionally manifest all extremes of their dominant archetypes. Actively endeavoring to understand themselves and others, verses passively hoping to be understood, is a saving grace for ‘Piscean people’.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The urge to escape or hibernate until winter finally ends may be strong now. Some retreat periods can be productive but this one asks that all progress be of the inner spiritual sort. This may be contrary to your nature. Yet, swimming against the current is hardly practical. Intend to be more empathetic and compassionate and/or to retreat in preparation for spring.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Sharing ideas, visions, plans and dreams with friends is likely now. With Mercury retrograde, allow yourself to brainstorm without feeling the need to take deliberate action now. The drafting stage of projects often undergoes many revisions. Make this clear to yourself and others to avoid misunderstandings. What you say now may be remembered long after.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Getting a lot of exposure now may actually come easily. Yet, there are indications that you do and do not want it. Concerns about what others think are leading you to feel protective of your energy levels and your reputation. Silence is golden and though not typical of your sign, whether due to inner or outer chatter, now is a good time to practice it.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

A meditative, contemplative and philosophical mood continues. Profound experiences and insights are more available than usual. A heightened sensitivity to the details may produce sublime realizations. The key is to be in-tune and aware lest this deep and delicate state be misinterpreted as depression. Make extra efforts to speak less and listen more for the next while.

Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)

You may feel like you have arrived at a crossroads. Entering the unknown often produces anxiety. However, there is no turning back. Endings are ever followed by new beginnings. The key is to persevere with faith and will. You would like to have a clearer vision of the future, but it is not yet available. Exercise patience with outer activity while you recalibrate internally.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Many changes are occurring especially on relationship fronts. Yet, it may seem as though you have entered a thick fog and so are unable to clearly see what is happening. It may take until mid- March at least before the confusion clears and perhaps even until mid-April. The more you can humbly, respectfully and faithfully cooperate with this delay the better.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

We have all entered a delicate cycle. The currents are less predictable than ever, their directional flow uncertain. This could affect your health levels and overall lifestyle. It is extra important now that you be more deliberate to either preserve and ideally to increase the quality of your health. Fortify your immune system and sanitize your living environment….

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

This effulgence of Piscean influence may prove to be a boon for you more than many others. It signifies a very fertile imagination. As ever, how you use your free will to engage this energy pattern is important. For now it may prove most worthwhile to gather and accumulate ideas, insights and inspirations and to identify approaches worthy of your emulation.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

Many emotions are flowing through you now and affecting you at core levels of your psyche. These may simply be inspiring you to make changes close to home, to fix, clean, uplift and beautify your environment. This impulse may still be in its gestation phase but if you tune-in and bring attention to it, the ideas and strategies will materialize.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

It is ironic that sometimes our clearest visions and deepest insights come about when our conscious focus is diffused, like now. As though in a lucid dream, reality seems different somehow, yet you can take deliberate action. You are being offered the opportunity to step away from the norm. Whether you do so for a little while or forever, is for you to decide.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

Dreams of what might be are dancing in your mind. The challenge is to match these with your values, priorities and practical reality. The key now is that you assert a perceptual lead. This means the more you can perceive the possibilities the more you will be able to conceive them. So, you job now is to dream, visualize and imagine.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Many hopes, wishes, plans and ambitions are gestating in your mind. Next week’s New Moon in your sign will serve to activate these more fully into reality. Still, you may require some added assistance to actualize your intentions. Take the initiative to reach out to your key connections. Be ready and willing to cooperate and avoid trying to go it alone.
