Happy Birthday Pisces

It’s time to celebrate the 12th sign of the zodiac. The Sun moves into Pisces 2/18/24. Pisces rules over the 12th house and is ruled by Neptune. They are a dreamy water sign that is known to be creative and sensitive. Pisces is said to embody a little of each of the other zodiac signs expressing this through a deep understanding of every emotion that humanity can possess. Pisces is a feeler and though they can be shy, they are not shy about how they feel. Though the other water signs are emotional, Pisces is the most in touch with how they feel at any given time. They are also in touch with how those around them feel at all times. They read collective energy well. They are intuitive and psychic, making them a good friend to go to when you need a shoulder to cry on. They simply understand and will likely cry along with you.

Pisces is bombarded with so much emotion that they are known to be drawn to escapist behaviors like using drugs, drinking, or lying in bed all day. They can be prone to depression as they just feel the pain of others as their own and have a hard time discerning where the pain of others ends and their own pain begins. They are the tortured, emotional artists of the zodiac. Cigarette in one hand, paint brush in the other. They have great potential when they channel the deep feelings they have into art of some kind. Music usually speaks to them in their own Pisces language and they can fluidly produce it and create it in one way or another. Though they can sometimes come off as the victim with all the pain they feel, they often wish to help others with the compassion others often show to them. They are the bleeding hearts of the zodiac and hate to see others suffering. Pisces is the day dreamer of the zodiac with the imagination many of us leave in childhood! They require time alone to reboot after being in a crowd or even with friends. They also require alone time to sort through their emotions and to let their imagination run free.

Pisces with all this emotion, is not made for everyone. I have to say though, most of the Pisces I come across, are not openly mushy and soft hearted at first glance. They can, much like the other water signs, have a tough exterior and bravado to keep people off their case. They sense BS like a lie detector, and if they don’t like you, you will sense it in a stand-offish-ness that may not feel nice. They have to feel you out before spilling their guts to you. I find Pisces men to often be more open than the women and a little more sensitive off the bat. Pisces women often make you work to get to know them. There is something intimidating about them. Like they see right through you, setting you off balance at first before you get to see how sweet they can truly be.

Pisces’ best love and friend matches often come with heavy water placements or Earth in their own charts. Air signs have little in common with Pisces with the exception of Aquarius that is the sign right before them in the zodiac. They share a humanitarian vibe with Pisces that Pisces appreciates. Fire signs can sometimes activate Pisces, but over time, despite the passion they can share together, arguments can be plenty with Pisces crying all the way home then shutting them out. Aries, the following zodiac sign can sometimes be tolerated by Pisces as they can appreciate how open and honest Aries is wearing their heart on their sleeve.

During Pisces season, it is a good time to examine how you display your emotions, or perhaps the ways that you repress your emotions. Do you embrace your creative side enough? Should you bust out the canvas and paint a little more? Take a look at your escapist behaviors and take a look at the emotions behind these behaviors. Also take some time to share how you feel with others with compassion and love!

February 2024 Astrology Forecast

What makes you Unique?

 It’s Aquarius Season!

We have been cooped up in the house all winter. The Go-getter Capricorn energy can be draining, despite all you got done! Aquarius comes in like a breath of fresh air asking us to lighten up a little, think of others, and color outside of the lines! We begin February with The Sun in Aquarius awaiting the company of other planets within this sign. The weight of heavy hitting Pluto there is rather drab. Though this placement is extremely important and will bend and mold society within the next 18-20 years, Aquarius demands we have some fun!

Mercury will move into Aquarius on 2/5/24, adding to the fun! Mercury in the thoughtful sign of Aquarius is restless, genius, and versatile. This is a rebellious Mercury placement that demands freedom to think as they wish even if it makes absolutely no sense to others! This placement brings originality to the way Mercury learns, taches, and communicates. This is an eccentric placement with Einstein like brilliance, set to change the way the world thinks. This Mercury sign thinks outside the box. Outside the box, more like out of this world! Those with this placement in their chart are blessed with the intelligence to know it all, but the curse to never quite feel understood.

The New Moon in Aquarius on 2/13/24 will urge us to use our original thoughts to better our lives and the lives of those around us. There is a square to Uranus here so racing thought will plague us at night. Let your imagination run wid. If you try to stop it you will feel restless to the point of anxiety. Change is coming and you can either get with it or GTF out of the way! Think outside of the box to come up with new goals for your biggest endeavors. The world won’t wait forever. You can be lost in the dust if you do not evolve! Girl/Boy Bye!

Mars joins the Aquarius party 2/13/24 making us want to move! This will only increase the restless anxiety in the air causing us all to tap our pens and fidget in our chairs. This is a placement of many brilliant minds. This is the sign of the freedom fighter and independent entrepreneur who wants to make the world a better place one invention at a time. This is a cool Mars placement for passion though. If you hook up with someone with this Mars sign, don’t expect sex to be fire and desire. They are more likely to bring in some freaky high-tech toys to wow you with! This cool, calm and collected Mars sign has a poker face to fool anyone who doesn’t know the ball of energy they truly are.

Venus moves into Aquarius on 2/16/24 conjuct Mars making for some brilliant ideas creatively. Love for Venus in Aquarius is a mind game. They don’t need love bit they certainly want it and never really know how to display that in a healthy way. They are too independent for their own good and they are meant to learn to love tenderly this lifetime without getting the ick! We can all feel a little more stand offish in love now and it will do us all some good to take some me time to process that which is our love lives.

All this Aquarius energy urges us to embrace our unique selves and place it on display for the world. This is a release from the hard-working strict energy of Capricorn. Loosen the stings and let yourself breathe! Let your freak flag fly!

The Sun moves into Pisces on 2/18/24 and it is time to allow yourself to day dream! Pisces is ruled by Neptune and Neptune has a hard time focusing or being too serious. Pisces asks us to listen to our intuition and dreams now. Pay attention to the messages you get. Take time to do some yoga or meditate. Journal your deepest thoughts down as memos to look back on when you feel lost. Express your feelings and use creativity as an outlet. Happy Birthday Pisces!!

Mercury will move into Pisces also on 2/23/24 and we can get lost in our dreams, visions, and imaginations. It can be a good time to just let go and float! The anxiety of restless Aquarius is lost as if it had never existed. This is a Mercury sign that is in tune with is feelings and urges those with this placement to read the room before communicating. This is a very psychic placement. Seek out a friend with Mercury in Pisces now to get a tarot reading or other mystical reading!

The Full Moon in Virgo will be opposite the Pisces energy and can cause a clash of interests. The need to float in your feelings can be overwhelming, but the desire to put your feet firm on the ground is demanded by Virgo. It is a Full Moon to let go of old outdated thoughts, feelings, and life decisions that do not serve you. It can be a good time to write new more practical goals out on paper to keep and look back on when you are struggling to be motivated. The perfectionistic Virgo energy of this Full Moon can be a lesson and a reminder that though we can strive for perfection we must remember we are only human and need to be kind to ourselves if we don’t get it right the first time, every time.

The Astrology of Capricorn the GOAT

It is as if the creator was ready for one Zodiac sign to truly value the art of working hard. Thus, waved that creator wand of theirs and boom! Capricorn was created. Capricorn bears the weight of the world on their shoulders with a smile on their face, they were made for hard work and know that if they don’t do it themselves, they can trust anyone else to get shit done! Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is often depicted as the most serious sign of the Zodiac, and while this is true most of the time, they also have a rather fun side you can see in their earlier years and lighter moments. When they decide on something that they want, they then flip the switch and get seriously devoted to whatever cause they feel drawn to. Don’t ever try to convince them to change their minds, they will leave you in the dust. Don’t every tell them they’re wrong. They will wave you off like a British aristocrat. They don’t like to follow. They don’t like to make compromises. Harsh? Yes.

 The personality of Capricorn though, is often sarcastic when not serious and they can crack up a room with their biting humor. They are drawn to the finer things in life and when not at the “office” they are down for a good time. If they decide they like you they will stay for a long time as they are very dependable and loyal to those they care for. It is just that you may not know they like you very much, unless you pay attention to their actions, not words. They will roast you endlessly if you are their friend. They are very much different in this way from their opposing sign, sweet Cancer who spills their guts to those they love. Capricorns go for quality over quantity and calling them choosy is an understatement. They have high standards and high demands. This spills over to the quality of people they invite into their lives also.

Capricorn is like a Ford truck, built strong. They set goals, and crush them only asking for more when they reach the top. They demand respect in every area of their lives and status means much to them. These men have enough swag to climb the ladder and enough composure to be a politician. The women are straight up boss bitches! Hello Michelle Obama! The problem with their one-track minded business sense is they can fail to GAF about anything else in life, often allowing work to become their most important love relationship. They have a hard time focusing on anything else. If you get involved with a Capricorn, you can expect your relationship to be business like in nature. If you want romance, find a Taurus, Cancer, or Libra. Capricorn will spoil the one they care about with material things, and not affection.

Materialistic, Capricorn has their mind on their money and money on their mind. They must guard against being too money oriented and work focused. They also must watch just how stubborn they are when focused on a goal. They can ice everyone out of their life by forgetting to lighten up every once in a while. Capricorn can have bouts of solitude, because believe them when they say they don’t need anyone, that lead to depression. All work and not play does make Jack a dull boy, so it turns out.

Capricorn Compatibility:

Capricorns most compatible matches: Taurus and Virgo totally get Capricorn’s driven nature. They also are hard-working earth signs with similar standards and expectations.  Pisces and Cancer can be especially accommodating to Capricorn’s demands. Capricorn may need to water down their blunt nature with them at times or they may leave in tears. Scorpio will bring out Capricorn’s passionate side in bed and beyond. They are equally stubborn and driven when they want something. They can be a power couple for sure! I have seen them in a match with Aries and Leo a few times and it can work well if the two don’t compete with one and other.

Capricorns are not great with Gemini as they can be too flighty and scattered for Capricorn’s driven nature. Libra is too wishy washy for Cap to have the patience for. Aquarius can be to much of a rule breaker for Capricorn to even begin to see eye to eye with them. Sagittarius wants to be out and about, making it hard for them to wait on Capricorn sending that one last work email before leaving the house.
