Sun enters Pisces Thursday, Feb 18, 2:44am PST
Sun enters Pisces while within 8˚ orb of conjunction to Venus still in Aquarius, and Pallas Athene (Goddess asteroid of creative intelligence). The Sun is also in quintile with the South Node and Juno, the Goddess Asteroid of soul contracts, marriage + committed partnership.
The Sun entering Pisces with these energies present emphasizes love, relationships, and harmony of intention and purpose. This feels like it will smooth out some of the erratic tension that’s been formed through the multitude of Aquarius-Taurus squares we’ve been working with. Venus squares Mars right near the beginning of Pisces season, adding an extra emphasis on smoothing out relational tensions right away, to acknowledge the best way through disagreements or conflicting perspectives.
We’ll still have an Aquarius stellium active although waning over the month as a few of the inner planets leave the party to join the sadhana. This will generally be a good time to tune into what wants to be channeled from the higher realms, and to allow for more contemplative reflection and to sit with our sensitivities and honor what we’re feeling. We’ll likely be led to even greater transcendental insights with all that has been unlocked during the Aquarius season. This will be the time to alchemize the mental insights with the heart expanded.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, readying us for the integration of all that has come before. In many ways, the energy of the Pisces archetype resembles that of a balsamic moon, just before the new moon. This is where we explore the mystical sides of life, attune ourselves to the rhythms of what is not seen but felt, and honor the connection between all life. This is an opening to unity consciousness.
Pisces is associated with compassion, forgiveness, surrender, letting go, and most importantly, unconditional love. The timeless truth of love is that it is never actually true love if there are any conditions whatsoever, and that really as a collective we are relearning this in our relationships.
Venus is exalted in Pisces, meaning she expresses herself most beautifully there, as she is free to dance, sing, and simply revel in the beauty and appreciation of all life. Looking at where planets are exalted gives us a deeper insight into the nature of the archetype. Pisces also rules the feet, and so Venus in Pisces holding the archetype of the dancer gives us insight into what can bring us into ecstatic joy and presence, truly loving what is.
We can look to the relationship of transiting Venus to our natal Venus to see what components of our values, priorities + aspects of our love languages are being initiated, and how we might more intentionally dance with these transitions.
