PISCES HOROSCOPE

Not only will the Mars/Neptune conjunction on April 13th be enervating, but it can also make you feel lost at sea. The trick to surviving it is not to give up. If anything, you want to lean into the Mars energy and keep going. It doesn't matter if you're hopelessly behind and haven't a chance of catching up; it's important that you cross the finish line. People who don't finish what they start are left in limbo, while those who complete the task know that, even if they didn't do well, they still gave it their best shot and are free to move on to something else.

You thought you were headed for a financial disaster, but a Mars/Uranus sextile on April 8th shows you walking away from it. Now, Uranus isn't a planet typically associated with good fortune (that's the sole province of ruling planet Jupiter); however, Uranus does rule over last-minute changes in plan, and that's what will save you. This might be the result of a shift in policy or the unexpected reversal of an official position. In any case, you're being shown the way out of a tight corner. Follow through on the steps you need to take to salvage your situation, and things will work out splendidly.

In the past, you would have asked someone to fly to your rescue at the first sign of trouble, but Jupiter in Cancer has emboldened you. Not only are you willing to tackle life's challenges, you're able. You've learned to call upon strengths you didn't know you had, talents that were previously underutilized, and an imagination that helps you to navigate the here and now rather than distract you with escapist fantasies. Perhaps the best realization to come out of all this is that the world is a deeper and richer place than you gave it credit for and that you have a place in it.

Are you familiar with repotting? It's a good way to think about finances with regard to the Saturn/Pluto sextile on March 28th. You've gone as far as you can in your current situation, but this doesn't mean that you've reached a dead-end; it means you've outgrown it. Whether it's a source of revenue that's not delivering like it used to, investments that require some rethinking, or an opportunity to expand your business—you need to move into a bigger space so that you can flourish. It may seem like a lot of work, but in the weeks to come you'll be glad you did it.

Pisces people often have a problem with the way their prayers are answered. Something always gets lost in the translation. Maybe the lover isn't as romantic as you'd hoped, the job isn't the great career move it was supposed to be, or the money you were promised comes through but still doesn't cover expenses. The good news about the Mars/Jupiter trine on March 21st is that you'll get something you want and you won't find it wanting. It's one of the few occasions when you'll be delighted with what the Universe delivers. This should tide you over until the next time you wish upon a star.

The next 3 ½ months are all about reconnecting to the things that bring you joy in life. These won’t be fly-by-night pursuits, but rather experiences, people, and activities that fulfill you emotionally and spiritually. A top priority will be to create a home environment that feels like a safe haven. You could move as a result of this, remodel, or simply clear out all the hangers-on in your life so that you’re only surrounded by the loved ones and friends who truly get you. After months (years maybe?) of feeling at sea, you will finally be on course to finding true happiness.

That opportunity to move or relocate looks increasingly likely with each passing day. You yearn for something new and different, and the Stars are signaling a fresh start. However, there’s a faith factor that keeps getting in the way and stopping you short. You’ve experienced too many episodes where you pinned your hopes on a Hollywood ending only to be left with an Ingmar Bergman outcome that leaves you bereft and asking stark philosophical questions. The good news is that this won’t happen this time. Your Ruling Planet Jupiter in Cancer aligned with the lunar eclipse in Virgo ensures that things should work out nicely.

There's nothing wrong with thinking better of it. It's a Pisces prerogative. Besides, it's probably a good idea given that Mercury, planet of the mind, will be turning retrograde in your zodiac sign on February 26th. This is when certain apprehensions resurface, causing you to stop dead in your tracks. Not only will you be haunted by feelings of something being off, but you'll receive strong prompts to reverse course or do an about-face. And you would be wise to follow them. It may not make sense in the moment, but trust that all will be revealed after the lunar eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd.

You have an extraordinary ability to speak to people’s hearts, minds, and souls when Mercury forms a trine to your Ruling Planet Jupiter on February 16th. This can be good if your motives are pure — that is, restorative, healing, and rehabilitative — because you will turn hopeless situations into hopeful ones. However, if you use this energy to manipulate people’s psychologies — like telling them what they should feel or using their secrets to bring them to heel — then the energy will turn against you. There’s always a moral obligation to do good when Mercury and Jupiter join forces. It’s all about bringing on the higher love.

Venus in Pisces is always a good transit because your powers of attraction are undeniable. You’ll get what you want because nobody can resist you. But Venus in Pisces is also like having three wishes. They’re no good if you don’t use them, and will only deliver limited results (or worse: unenviable predicaments) if you act impulsively. Use your imagination. Think of the people you know who can help you—and the people they know—because these are your genies now. Approach them with purpose and a plan, and your wish is their command. Venus is in Pisces from February 10th to March 6th.
