MONTHLY
OVERVIEW:
Pisces, you’ve been such a trooper. 2009 was a complete rollercoaster,
thanks to Jupiter’s station in Aquarius, your twelfth house
of endings, release and illusion. It was like trying to run a marathon
through dense fog, with lots of stumbling, guessing and disorientation.
On January 17th, Jupiter moved into Pisces, where it will spend
most of 2010.The turnaround is underway,
and many Fish have taken that first tentative step toward believing
that the universe is conspiring in your favor once again.
However, February has one last round of spiritual testing. The Sun is in Aquarius until the 18th, pushing you to let go of any toxic ’09 baggage you’ve dragged into the new year. Hard as it is, you must loosen your grip. If you’ve pinned your hopes to one job, person, location, opportunity…well, that was probably done in the spirit of scarcity. Be willing to believe that something much bigger awaits you, even if you have no tangible evidence. It’s all about divine timing. As someone recently said, just because the tide is out, doesn’t mean there’s less water in the ocean.
You’ll realize this come February 18th, when the Sun enters Pisces, flooding you with energy and abundance. Toward the end of the month, the Sun and expansive Jupiter make contact, changing your worldview from narrow focus to wide-angle. The Virgo full moon jumps in on the 28th, bringing exciting opportunities to collaborate. Use the early part of February to clear the decks in preparation for a fabulous new decade.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
Have a little faith, Pisces. The first two weeks are a time to let
go—of the past, of inhibitions, of rigid boundaries. Venus
is in your twelfth house of endings until February 12th, bringing
a fantasy element to your love life. Are you ready to get swept away?
If not, that’s because there are energetic blocks like resentment,
false hope or old sadness in your space. Perhaps you haven’t
fully grieved the loss of an ex-love. Or, you may be acting the martyr,
carrying more than your share instead of insisting on equal investment
from your mate.
Whatever the case, it doesn’t serve you to bottle these emotions up—nor to keep replaying a story of hurt that casts you as the victim. Check out Colin Tipping’s book Radical Forgiveness if you need help letting go. You’ll be glad you did come Valentine’s Day. The moon, romantic Venus and lucky Jupiter are all in Pisces, making you Cupid’s number-one target. On the 28th, the Virgo full moon turns its high-beams on your relationship sector. This could really take your partnerships to the next level.
There’s one caveat: the full moon will oppose Jupiter in Pisces, indicating that you may need to be a little “selfish” around this date. In other words, it’s time to stand up for what YOU want in life, and ask your partner’s total, unwavering support. That doesn’t mean you demand everything on your terms. But for goodness sake, if you want to go to grad school, open a business, have a baby, or some other dream deferred—this is your year to do it.
MONEY & CAREER:
Motivation is in short supply, so give yourself a break. Ambitious
Mars is retrograde (backward) in Leo until March 10th, leaving you
feeling a bit disorganized. You may spend much of February sorting
through papers, tossing out old files, and doing an overall purge.
It’s the perfect way to create space for new opportunity, especially
when the Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th. This solar shot of vitamin-A
(assertiveness) and -B (ballsy-ness) will invite all kinds of new
opportunities. You’re just so attractive when you believe in
yourself!
A partnership offer could arrive near the Virgo full moon on February 28th. Are you ready to shake hands and make it official? Really review the terms. Make sure you’re getting what you deserve, and that you won’t be expected to do more than you’ll be fairly compensated for, Pisces. A startup business or a company with an inspiration mission sounds exciting, especially if you have a chance to help shape the organization. Be sure you’ll receive due credit for your work (a title, stock options, etc.). Create a win-win scenario and this could be a lasting success.
HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Book a few extra hours of shuteye, Pisces. It’s your annual time
of rest, at least while the Sun is in Aquarius until the 18th. Hard
as it is, you’ll need to set boundaries with a difficult or manipulative
person who sucks away your energy. Your subconscious is cleansing itself
while you sleep, and you don’t want to shortchange the healing
cycle. A spiritual or serendipitous moment arrives at the February
13th Aquarius new moon. This moon will join with your ruling planet
Neptune, starting you on a gentle six-month path of emotional and soul
healing.
