Pisces, February 2018

Love-and-money planet Venus clashes with one of your ruling planets, Jupiter, on February 4. Shortly afterwards, on February 10, the Sun also clashes with Jupiter, as does Mercury, on February 13. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and abundance, but also of exaggeration, so we can expect the energy to be over-the-top during these days. Big ideas will be shared—but don’t believe everything you hear, because Jupiter likes to embellish. If something sounds too good to be true, Pisces, it probably is.

Jupiter also trusts that things will just work out; when it's paired with luxurious Venus, a touch of laziness is likely. The Sun’s meeting with Jupiter means that confidence will be boosted, but so will egos. These are powerful occasions for you to connect with your intuitive abilities and to explore the meaning of your dreams. You’ll be in the mood to study spiritual concepts and different philosophies.

Venus enters your sign on February 10, putting you in a charismatic, flirtatious mood. You’ve been sort of shy over the last few weeks, but now that Venus is in your sign, you’ll be feeling extra cute. This is a wonderful time to go shopping and add some new items to your wardrobe. On a deeper, more emotional level, it's a great time to reflect on your relationship to all things Venusian: love, money, beauty, and what you find valuable. While Venus is in Pisces, themes like unconditional love and psychic connections within your relationships are going to be important to you.

February 15 is one of the most intense days of the month, with a new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius. A solar eclipse is basically a mega new moon. New beginnings will arrive, but the vibe will be way more dramatic, emotional, and exhausting than usual. Don’t overbook yourself during this time, as you’re going to need to get all the sleep you can get. Your dreams are going to be especially active, and in your waking life you’ll be exploring hidden places, having undercover meetings, and learning new secrets. As turbulent as eclipse energy can feel, there will be a fated feeling in the air. Eclipses are all about us getting back on the right path toward our destiny.

Mercury makes a harmonious connection with Uranus on the day of the eclipse, too, and Venus connects with Saturn, creating a helpful energy. Mercury and Uranus will inspire brilliant ideas and encourage people to think and talk about unusual things. Venus’s connection to Saturn will find people working together maturely and graciously to build a better future.

Action planet Mars clashes with your planetary ruler, Neptune, on February 17, bringing frustration to your professional goals. Mars is an energetic planet that wants to do, and it can get frustrated in Neptune’s hazy fog. Neptune is the planet of dreams, but also of delusions—watch out for laziness today as well as paranoia and jealousy.

Communication planet Mercury enters your sign on February 17, boosting your mental acuity, and the Sun follows February 18, officially kicking off Pisces season! It’s time for you to reconnect with your purpose and to get back up. The eclipse will have exhausted you, but now is not the time to rest!

Neptune is busy at the end of the month: Venus meets it on February 21, followed by Mercury on February 25. Venus’s connection to Neptune will be ultra-romantic, and you can expect to get swept off your feet (or fins, dear fish). But remember, when Neptune’s around, things aren’t always what they seem—have a great time, but don’t place any bets on the future.

As the month comes to a close, it’s a wonderful time to engage in spiritual activity, but probably not the best time to work out your taxes. This will be especially true when Mercury, the planet of the mind, meets Neptune—your psychic abilities are sure to be boosted, but it’s a day for writing poetry, not for anything that requires you to focus on details and specifics.

Good luck this month, Pisces! See you in March!
