Lunations and Long-term Aspects

The Full Moon on February 7 is in Leo, your 6th house of work, health, service and pets, suggesting a culmination of something in that part of your life.  This could be an ending or perhaps a shift to a new phase of operation.  The Sun is in Aquarius, your 12th house of angels and demons, which is familiar territory for Pisces which rules the zodiacal 12th house.  If you're confused about these different ways of looking at houses, read the "Houses" section.  The 12th includes dreams, fantasies, enlightenment, inspiration and transcendence on the positive side and deception, delusions, and self-undoing on the negative side.  Such things as hospitals, prisons, confinement and seclusion reside there as well.  As the Sun transited Aquarius you would have noticed some of these things being highlighted.

Venus is in Pisces until February 9 which should have brought some good things your way.  Pisces is the sign of her exaltation, where she can express the very best she has to offer.  If your birthday is within a day of March 20 the love goddess will be conjunct your natal Sun for this lunation, which bodes nicely.  Venus is quincunx Saturn in Libra, your 8th house of transformations, and Saturn is also in the sign of his exaltation.  This has the potential of bringing a very positive experience you way which will change how you see the world.  Saturn is often viewed as a malefic planet but in exaltation his positive side is emphasized, such as organization, discipline and responsibility.  Note that Uranus is in your 2nd house of income and possessions which may bring some upsets or sudden changes to that part of your life.

Your sign ruler, Neptune, has recently entered your sign which is likely to have a noticeable effect, especially if your birthday is right around February 19.  If so, Neptune will be parked on your natal Sun which will essential make you a Pisces on steroids.  You are already connected strongly with other dimensions and this ability will be greatly enhanced.  If you already possess psychic powers they will increase substantially.  This can certainly be a good thing, but be wary of becoming so enchanted with this dream world that you become a veritable space cadet.  You may have a very difficult time staying in touch with reality, which could cause a variety of problems.  Recognize that you'll want to indulge this energy which can take you places you've never been before and open new doors of spiritual discovery, which is a good thing.  However, you still need to keep at least one foot on the ground or you may be swept away to places that aren't necessarily beneficial.  In other words, if you indulge yourself too much, you may find yourself on the shore of some desert island with the King of the Deep laughing at your delusions of being able to escape all responsibility.

Mars is retrograde in Virgo, your polar sign and 7th house which comprises close relationships such as your significant other, close friends and relative, business partners and business professionals with whom you interact on a one on one basis, such as your tax advisor or attorney.  Mars rules your 2nd house of possessions, income and finances, so this implies possible issues with this part of your life.  Progress is likely to stall or you may simply find you couldn't care less.  Mars is what drives us forward and provides us with energy and while he is retrograde complacency often takes its place.  This, of course, can be quite the combination with all that dreaminess.  Mars RX in your 7th may also indicate relationship matters which need attention.  If you have suppressed feelings due to problems in this part of your life they will build up pressure during this time.  You may tend to be more passive than usual or you may feel more frustration.  This will be most noticeable if your birthday is right around March 12.

The New Moon on February 21 is in Pisces and right on your natal Sun if that happens to be your birthday.  If so, this lunation will be part of your solar return and thus with you the entire year.  Venus and Uranus are both in your 2nd house of income and possessions which overall should have a favorable effect but expect a variety of ups and downs and various surprises.  Mars is RX in your 7th, indicating continued lack of progress with regard to relationships.    Mars RX can also provide a total lack of interest on your part, which may have negative implications.  You may be inclined to lose yourself in your own little world only to find yourself very much alone at some point.  You may need to make some directed effort to include those close to you in your fantasies.  Be very cautious with such things as alcohol or drugs, which may have more appeal than usual during this time as an escape mechanism.  Escape in healthier ways, whether its through some form of fiction, meditation, or possibly sports, provided they aren't inherently dangerous.  Many Pisces enjoy extreme sports because they thrive on thrills, but don't be disillusioned into thinking your abilities are more than they are.

Pluto is in Capricorn, your 11th house of friends, groups, networking, organizations and goals, for the long haul.  If your birthday is within a day or so of February 27 you are likely to have the opportunity to do some serious dredging in this part of your life, whether it involves deep insights and discovering secrets about individuals who fit in this category or perhaps doing a major renovation on your goals.  Combined with Neptune in your 1st house this Plutonian energy can deliver all sorts of interesting information, particularly as it applies to others' motivations.  Use it to expand your own awareness and understanding of human nature.  With Jupiter, your traditional sign ruler, in your 3rd house of thoughts, ideas, neighbors, siblings and local travel, expansion in this part of your life is indicated.  This can be a very productive time for getting to know yourself better and also expanding your local horizons within your neighborhood or interacting with your siblings.  This month contains a lot of potential for Pisces which you would do well to harness and use to your advantage.  Do so in a conscious manner by purposely tuning into all the information coming your way from the cosmos which will take your intuition to significant new heights.
