Pisces Season, 2019

The Sun enters Pisces this evening (February 18th) at 6:03 pm EST. This is the season where nothing is defined and everything (or nothing) is possible. It all depends on how you work with the energy of transcendence, allowance, release and spirituality.

Pisces is an expansive influence because boundaries are dissolved. But it’s often difficult to place any values on what expands because this is not about material gain. More is possible, but only if you release control and expectations. This is very much about going with the flow and trusting that it will take you to the perfect place at the perfect time.

This energy can be soothing or confusing, healing or undermining. As the last sign, endings can occur as situations gently but relentlessly dissolve. You simply cannot hold onto what’s fading away. But if you remain open, something new can flow in just as easily.

This year, expansion is boosted thanks to a square from Jupiter in Sag. This is the “no limits” aspect, but we always have to use to caution with hard aspects to Jupiter – there will be exaggeration or overestimation.

Here are the aspects the Pisces Sun will make:

  • Feb 19th: Full Moon (0 deg Virgo)

  • Feb 23rd: square Juno in Gemini (4 deg)

  • Feb 27th: sextile Mars in Taurus (9 deg)

  • Feb 28th: square Ceres in Sagittarius (9 deg)

  • Mar 6th: New Moon (15 deg Pisces)

  • Mar 6th: conjunct Neptune (16 deg)

  • Mar 7th: conjunct Vesta (17 deg)

  • Mar 9th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

  • Mar 13th: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Mar 13th: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

  • Mar 14th: conjunct Mercury Rx (24 deg)

  • Mar 15th: trine the Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mar 17th: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (27 deg)

  • Mar 20th: Aries ingress

February 13th, 2019: Burning

  • Mercury in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Mercury in Pisces conjunct Vesta (5 deg)

  • Mars in Aries conjunct Uranus (29 deg)

  • Mars in Aries opposite Pallas in Libra (29 deg)

Mercury/Vesta

The Mercury/Vesta conjunction activates yesterday’s Vesta/Ceres square.

“Vesta in Pisces wants to withdraw and contemplate while Ceres in Sag wants to overwhelm with expansive care and protection. Vesta in Pisces is pure and spiritual (or magical) while Ceres in Sag can trample over sensitivities in the rush to nurture (and the rush to do what’s best).”

Mercury/Vesta indicates absolute focus on a spiritual idea or a dream – gazing at what can’t be fully seen or devoting yourself to a compassionate/ethereal concept. Meditating on the whisper. The square to Ceres suggests this information will clash with expansive (and loud) attempts at nurturing. Someone may be saying “No” to caring efforts or disagreeing with a philosophy of mothering. Basically, yesterday’s tension is put into words as the quiet voice disagrees with the bold proclamation of nurturing.

Mars/Uranus

The Mars/Uranus conjunction in the final degree of Aries indicates a last chance to break away, fight or escape. This volatile energy demands freedom to act but it’s easy to get carried away and take unwise risks.

Something needs to end (or be ignited) but remember that this energy can be accident-prone if mishandled. Impulse control is nonexistent. The opposition to Pallas suggests sudden actions will disrupt a social or relationship strategy. There may be impatience with the polite approach or a powerful desire to burn through the niceties and assert the truth/your will.

There’s potential for positive and negative here. Much depends on what’s being burnt away. Carefully consider what you’re asserting and why. Is it really necessary to burn that bridge? It might be, but know that what you set fire to will be gone for good – even if you’re igniting a new beginning, the fuel will be artifacts from the past.

Combined with Mercury/Vesta’s focus, we have an interesting mix of hot and cool. Calm and agitated. Actions are incendiary but thoughts and words can help you see beyond the heat or anger. Pay attention to the quiet voice – what’s it saying?

Mercury’s Transit of Pisces and Mercury Retrograde

by  •

Mercury enters Pisces on February 10th, and communication/thoughts become fluid. Logic is less important now than hint and imagination. Intuition is pronounced but so is delusion. The line between truth and lies is blurred.

Mercury in Pisces can open your mind to new possibilities, but whether they’re real or not remains to be seen. This can be a highly creative and empathetic transit – depending on how sensitive you are, you may have trouble differentiating between your thoughts and their thoughts. Strengthen your mental boundaries- if you already pick up on what others are thinking, this transit can emphasize that spongelike tendency.

The story will shift several times during this transit, especially since Mercury will station Rx at 29 deg Pisces. Mercury will make it all the way to the final degree and then reverse, suggesting that a conclusion will almost be reached. But then, you’ll have to look again, ask questions or look behind the veil. Mercury Rx in Pisces can be very slippery – details will be lost and decisions will not be concrete. If you can, wait until Mercury stations direct before you agree or sign. Much of what you first learn may be false or misleading.

Here are the aspects Mercury in Pisces will make:

  • Feb 13th: square Ceres in Sagittarius (5 deg)

  • Feb 13th: conjunct Vesta (6 deg)

  • Feb 19th: conjunct Neptune (15 deg)

  • Feb 19th: sextile Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Feb 22nd: square Jupiter in Sagittarius (21 deg)

  • Feb 23rd: sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Feb 26th: trine the Cancer North Node (25 deg)

  • Mar 5th: stations Rx (29 deg)

February 6th, 2019: Discordant Nurturing

by  • 

Mary Cassatt

Mary Cassatt

  • Moon in Pisces conjunct Vesta (2 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces sextile Venus in Capricorn (2 deg)

  • Moon in Pisces square Ceres in Sagittarius (3 deg)

The Moon emphasizes yesterday’s Venus/Vesta sextile:

“Venus in Capricorn is about strict and ambitious definitions for relationships, money or personal values. Vesta in Pisces focuses on transcendent or compassionate issues. When they harmonize, Vesta’s higher devotion loosens some of Venus’ rules – there can be more to what you want as judgements are released. “

Moon/Vesta suggests emotional devotion or focus on a specific issue that transcends reality. There’s a yearning for something higher. Venus adds a touch of practicality while keeping the energy calm and beautifully contained.

But the Moon/Ceres square suggests the above may be disrupted by discordant expressions of nurturing. Vague or spiritual needs are out of step with the belief about how care “should” be implemented. Although well-intentioned, Sag’s fiery enthusiasm can be too much for gentle Pisces. Nurturing may be too pushy.

Sag is about the belief of what’s true and right while Pisces simply “is.” If you’re attempting to nurture, consider what’s needed versus what you believe is best. If you’re the recipient of some pushy efforts, know that it’s ok to keep those boundaries in place.

February 5th, 2019: Venus in Capricorn Sextile Vesta

  • Venus in Capricorn sextile Vesta in Pisces (2 deg)

Venus in Capricorn is about strict and ambitious definitions for relationships, money or personal values. Vesta in Pisces focuses on transcendent or compassionate issues. When they harmonize, Vesta’s higher devotion loosens some of Venus’ rules – there can be more to what you want as judgements are released.

But the sextile is such a soft aspect that you won’t feel this unless you’re paying attention. Tune in to the whisper that suggests your love or values can be elevated. At the same time, consider how a difficult-to-grasp issue (perhaps involving an unattainable devotion) can be grounded by blending it with what you want in the earthly realm.

Vesta is about purity and Venus in Cap is quite disciplined, so the vibe is still a bit spartan, but it’s an interesting mix of material and spiritual.
