Pisces season: February 18 to March 20, 2026
Mind, body, soul: How can you bring the three back into divine communion? When the Sun moves into compassionate Pisces on February 18 (10:52AM EDT), your deepest wells of empathy get stirred, your creativity and intuition get stoked. Tune in to your subconscious and turn that inner dialogue into music, art or healing words that help others.
But watch those porous boundaries! While your compassion runs deep, be mindful of pulling people onto your lifeboat who don’t want to be saved. Escapism will be tempting (and sweet!), but know your own limits to avoid falling down a slippery slope.
Key themes of Pisces season
The first Mercury retrograde of the year—in Pisces—colors Pisces season 2026!
Trust your intuition. With everyone’s sixth sense dialed up during Pisces season, your intuition may be more reliable a GPS than your Maps app. The only problem? Mercury is retrograde during this Pisces season (beginning February 26), so definitely fact check your hunches. This compassionate four-week cycle will help you cultivate meaningful connections instead of getting stuck in the superficial zone. Forget what the algorithms are serving and tune in to your own soul wisdom and follow the natural current of the universe.
Dare to ‘go there’ with your emotions: When the Sun casts its line in this watery realm every year, we can get flooded by empathy. While this might feel a tad unmooring at first, dare to sit with your uncomfortable emotions during this water sign cycle. Your empathy for others will expand in the process, and you might just turn those triggers into your own art.
What’s “reality,” anyway? When the winter Sun shimmers onto the waters of this ethereal sign, we’re all under the spell of this esoteric sea creature. Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte, who painted familiar objects in unexpected contexts (The Treachery of Images), once said: “Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.” That basically summarizes this solar cycle.
Do come up for air. While deep connection is on trend during wall-dissolving Pisces season, it can spin up codependence or lead to unneeded sacrifice. While it’s great to focus on people’s potential, you could fall in love with a fantasy version of them. Lean on a trusted friend or therapist if you need an alternate POV or reality check on something too good to be true.
Your faith may be tested while the Sun tours this elusive sign, since things may not be as they initially appear. Work to cultivate substantial connections rather than fleeting, surface-level interactions. Boundaries can get blurry, so take time to feel your way into situations, making sure they really do work for you before letting loose a “yes.”
Key aspects of love in Pisces season
Block some QT with your SO. Pisces season brings on the poetry, playlists and peak romantic experiences. Sweet escapes from reality are what make romance so rich. Just try not to lose sight of daily duties like, oh, showing up at work and returning important messages. In other words, make time for quality time, but don’t forget to check the time!
Since we all rock rose-colored glasses during Pisces season, be careful not to let them screen out red flags. Seeing the best in people is a noble quality, so long as you aren’t projecting imaginary traits onto people that they haven’t earned. Fall in love with who they are, not just their potential.
