Pisces season arrives today and not a moment too soon. The abundance of Capricorn planets in the sky right now feels like a giant boulder tipping the scales of balance in our lives. We feel like there’s so much work to be done and we know that we’ve just barely scratched the surface. the Capricorn story is about going after what you’ve always dreamed of. Digging up the bones and doing the work. Blood, sweat, and tears all while trying to keep it looking composed on the surface.
That’s where Pisces season comes into play for a touch of relief against the rocky backdrop. it’s like submerging yourself in a warm bath after a long and arduous hike that you forgot to pack snacks for. soothing, healing, all-encompassing- pisces season refreshes the spirit and prepares us for the coming astrological new year. in this bath- grit washes off, muscles relax, and your mind and feelings can wander freely without having to consider your survival. it’s time to simply feel, to acknowledge, and to release.
.There’s a heavy dose of cardinal energy in the sky, with Venus trekking through me-first Aries and Mars moving through ambitious Capricorn. we can get unreasonably irritable and frustrated if we feel like we’re not achieving the forward movement in our lives we so crave. Venus in Aries wants what she wants and she wants it now, while Mars in Capricorn believes that the only way out is through. Yet, Pisces is a transitory sign, one that coincides with a period of change in our lives and is more clearly reflected through our seasons. It’s not a time for initiation or maintenance- it’s time for altering, dissolving, to change and destroy.
Give yourself and others room. Let things fall away. Dreams, journaling, music, dance are all especially healing under Pisces enchanting influence. Don’t expect your voice or your thoughts to be clear. Rationale doesn’t live here. Ancient, unresolved emotions are resurfacing for all of us during this retrograde- and our feelings need just as much nourishment just as our ambitions.
