Pisces, January 2018

Lately, you’ve been taking a cooler, more detached approach to life, attempting to be logical— which is great, unless you’ve been repressing yourself emotionally. During this full moon, it will become impossible for you to ignore your feelings. Let it all out, Pisces! You’re sensitive— and pretending otherwise doesn’t get you anywhere, except in a state of constant stress or trapped in a creative rut. If you’ve been stuck on a project, a burst of inspiration may arrive once you finally allow your emotions to flow out of you. Also, whatever’s been building up in your love life is sure to reach a climax during this time. (If you’re in a witchy mood, this is a fine occasion to cast a love spell!)

Early January is busy for your two ruling planets: lucky Jupiter and dreamy Neptune. On January 2, the Sun makes an easy connection with Neptune, boosting your creativity and finding you connecting with inspiring people. Venus also connects with Neptune on January 3, creating a whimsical, romantic vibe. On January 6, Mars meets Jupiter, and the Sun and Venus followed connect with Jupiter on January 8. Watch out for an exciting travel opportunity to come your way! This will also be an exciting moment for you if you’re in school or if you’re working on publishing something.

Communication planet Mercury enters Capricorn on January 11, activating the sector of your chart that rules your social life and your communities. A new moon in Capricorn follows soon after, on January 16, bringing you a fresh start within your friendships. Capricorn is an Earth sign, grounded and practical—you, dreamy Pisces, benefit from having these types of people around you. Are the people with whom you’re surrounding yourself supportive of you? Are they, as your parents would say, good influences? You’re easily affected by other people’s vibes, so it’s so important that you connect with friends who have their shit together.

Love-beauty-and-money planet Venus enters Aquarius on January 17, and Aquarius season officially starts on January 19. Aquarius is cool and aloof; while the Sun and Venus travel through this Air sign, you’ll likely feel the need to check out, spend some time alone, and unwind. Expect to feel compelled to explore hidden, mysterious places and to share some secrets. You’ll be in a more private mood about your love life, and you’re likely to feel a little shier than normal, too. That said, you won’t be a total loner mid-month, little fish: Chatty Mercury connects with Neptune on January 19 and with Jupiter on January 25, which are days you should circle in your calendar for networking.

Action planet Mars enters Sagittarius on January 26, igniting the sector of your chart that rules your career and your public image. This is an exciting occasion for you professionally. It can be hard for you to get motivated to move—you’re brilliantly creative and dream up fantastic ideas constantly, but actually doing something with them can be hard—but, with warrior Mars in energetic Sagittarius, you will actually be energized to get things done.

A lunar eclipse (which also happens to be a super moon!) lands in Leo on January 31. In addition, Mercury enters Aquarius on this date. You’re one of the most psychic signs in the zodiac, and with Mercury (the planet of the mind) in sharp Air sign Aquarius, your intuitive abilities even more impressive than usual. You’re going to be very sensitive to other people’s energy—so, again, during Aquarius season, you may want to catch up on time alone.

The dramatic lunar eclipse in Fire sign Leo will be major for your work life, Pisces. A massive schedule change is likely. You may dramatically change your to-do list, or you may find yourself leaving behind a gig that’s been a regular part of your schedule. Pisces people are not famous for their organizational skills, and shit’s going to really hit the fan during this eclipse if you can’t get it together. If there are some important tasks you need to complete this month, don’t save it all until the last minute.

This eclipse is also going to be a crucial time for you to check in with yourself about your self-care routine. Find ways to nourish yourself other than junk food and late night binge-watching. Go to the ocean! You’re one of the most creative signs in the zodiac—but when was the last time you showed off your work? You can be shy about displaying your talents; however, this eclipse is in Leo, a sign that adores the spotlight. Feed your heart and nourish your soul by sharing some of your art with your friends and community.

Make health and wellness your priority, and commit to dumping a bad habit. Full moons are times for letting go, and this is especially true during an eclipse. Good luck this month, Pisces, and see you in February!
