Pisces Season 2025
Pisces season is a baptism, but not the kind you walk into knowingly. It finds you. It pulls you under. A submersion into the liminal, the in-between, the great dissolving. The Sun enters Pisces on February 18, 2025, shifting the collective frequency into the ineffable. The dreamscape thickens, the boundaries blur. Time bends. This is the season of surrender. Where structure loosens, and what is unseen makes itself known.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. This is the threshold between the past and the future, the bridge between lifetimes, the tide that pulls us into the great unknown. This is not about control. It never was. It is the tide that takes what it will and leaves behind only what was meant to last. This is where you let go. This is where you let the ocean decide.
Sun enters Pisces February 18th, 2025
“Between the wish and the thing the world lies waiting.”
— Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
The Sun in Pisces draws us into a liminal space, a place between reality and dream. This transit blurs the lines between self and other, logic and intuition, the seen and the unseen. It’s a call to float, to surrender, to allow. Pisces is mutable water, a tide that erases footprints, a wave that washes away what no longer holds weight. It softens the structures we cling to, dissolves the borders we’ve drawn, reminding us that nothing is as solid as we pretend it to be.
This is a season of endings. Unfinished business rises like driftwood, fragments of old stories washing ashore. Under Pisces, we don’t move forward by force, we feel our way there, trusting the pull of the unseen. It’s a time for divination, music, poetry, and solitude. It’s also a time when illusions can thicken, when boundaries can dissolve too far, when reality feels like mist slipping through our fingers. And just as we step into these shifting tides, Venus forms a minor square to Uranus, sending ripples of unease through the waters. Restlessness may arise. Longing for change. But for now, we float, letting the current decide.
February 23: Mars Direct in Cancer
“Sometimes you don’t realize you’re actually drowning when you’re trying to be everyone else’s anchor.”
— Anonymous
After two months of retrograde motion, Mars stations direct at 17° Cancer on February 23. Since Mars entered retrograde in December 2024, we’ve been retracing our steps, examining where our energy has been drained, where old battles have left scars, where we’ve been clinging to outdated modes of defense. Mars in Cancer fights in a different way, it doesn’t charge forward, it protects. It defends. It moves through emotion rather than logic, acting from the gut rather than the mind. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the sign of the home, the past, and ancestral memory. Here, Mars does not wield its sword, but rather guards the gates of the heart, fights for safety, and defends emotional territory.

Mars in Cancer fights in a different way, it doesn’t charge forward, it protects. It defends. It moves through emotion rather than logic, acting from the gut rather than the mind. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is the sign of the home, the past, and ancestral memory. Here, Mars does not wield its sword, but rather guards the gates of the heart, fights for safety, and defends emotional territory.
During the retrograde, we’ve been dragged back through old battlefields, forced to revisit wounds that never quite healed, to question whether our instincts to fight, flee, or fortify have been serving us. Where have we exhausted ourselves defending something no longer worth the fight? Where have we built walls that now trap us rather than protect us?
Cancer is cardinal water, it initiates, but it does so through feeling, through intuition, through deep undercurrents that move unseen until they surge forth. Mars in Cancer reminds us that not all battles are won through brute force. Some wars are won by knowing when to fight, when to retreat, and when to let the tide wash it all away.
Mars remains in its post-retrograde shadow until May 2, meaning we will be integrating these lessons for months to come. The last time Mars stationed direct in Cancer after a retrograde was April 2008, when it turned direct at 24° Gemini before re-entering Cancer in early May. However, if we are looking for the last full Mars retrograde that ended in Cancer, we must go back further, to March 1991, when Mars stationed direct at 12° Cancer, its armor waterlogged, its fire reduced to embers.
February 27: Pisces New Moon
The Pisces New Moon at 7:45 PM EST on February 27 is a deep pull into the abyss. A lunar doorway into the unseen, the forgotten, the ancestral tides that exist beneath waking consciousness.
This is the last New Moon of the astrological year, a final exhale before the Sun crosses into Aries and ignites the next cycle. In Pisces, the sign of boundlessness, this lunation is an invitation to step beyond logic, beyond form, into the unseen. It calls us into the dreamtime, the liminal, the space between endings and beginnings.
Pisces is the last sign. The end of the road. It erodes the edges of things, wears them down until they are shapeless, formless, impossible to hold onto. It is the dream that dissolves upon waking, the cycle that closes without ceremony. This is the point where you let go. Not because you want to, but because you don’t have a choice.
Pisces is mutable water, the shifting tide, the deep well, the mist that obscures and reveals. Its ruler, Neptune, governs the intangible: intuition, imagination, illusion, and surrender. Unlike other New Moons, which often feel like a starting point, this one is a portal, a passageway between what was and what will be.
But you don’t get to simply float here. Not this time. Saturn is watching.
And let’s be honest, you already know what this is about. You’ve been avoiding it. Letting it drift just out of reach. Hoping it would dissolve on its own. But it hasn’t, has it? Saturn is sitting right here, pulling it back into focus.
I could tell you to set intentions, to manifest, to plant seeds. But that’s not what this is for. This isn’t a garden. It’s a funeral. It’s the moment where you stop pretending you don’t see what’s slipping away. The moment where you stand at the shore and watch the tide pull it under, knowing it’s never coming back.
This is a heavier Pisces New Moon than we’ve had before. It’s not Neptune’s usual dreamscape, not the soft-focus blur of past years. Neptune is still here, at 28° Pisces, but Saturn has taken over. Neptune is fading. Saturn is sharpening the outline. And then there’s Mercury at 24° Pisces, drifting through these waters, dissolving the certainty of words, making everything feel just out of reach. You may struggle to articulate what you’re feeling. But you don’t need to. You already know.
You should know, I hated writing the last few paragraphs. But here we are. And maybe you hate reading it too, because you already know where it’s going. And trust me, I get it. Somewhere in your life, you are hitting a wall that cannot be bypassed. This New Moon makes it impossible to ignore.
Lilith in Libra sits across from this lunation like a shadow at the edge of the room. Pisces wants to dissolve, to blur the edges. But Lilith refuses to let you look away. Pisces likes to dissolve, to blur the edges, but Lilith cuts through the fog and shows you exactly what you’ve been avoiding. It’s about accountability. It’s about where you’ve given too much of yourself away. Where you’ve sacrificed too much for the illusion of peace.
Lilith in Libra forces the question: What have you been tolerating that you should have burned down a long time ago? Where has your desire for peace left you powerless? And more importantly, why did you let it happen?
Libra seeks harmony, but Lilith in Libra does not settle for false balance. If something has been unjust, this opposition calls it to the surface. The quiet resentment, the exhaustion of maintaining appearances, the places where you have compromised yourself for the sake of keeping the peace. Lilith is here to make sure you see them.
This lunation reminds us that before the next chapter begins, something must first be washed away. Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, is the final breath before the inhale, the place where all things dissolve before they are reborn.
Mars at 17° Cancer forms a supportive trine to this lunation, offering a different kind of strength.
Some are fought with silence.
With endurance.
With knowing when to walk away.
Mars in Cancer fights differently. It defends. It retreats. It moves like the tide, not a direct attack, but an unrelenting force, shifting the landscape over time. This Mars doesn’t seek out conflict, but it will burn down the whole house if something threatens what it loves.
Pluto in Aquarius at 2°. Pluto is still fresh in Aquarius. The system is already changing. You can feel it, even if you don’t have words for it yet. You’re being pulled toward something new, whether you’re ready or not.
This is where the detachment begins. The moment where you realize that what you thought defined you is already starting to fade.
This Pisces New Moon is a funeral. Not in the tragic sense, not in the way that begs for sentimentality, but in the raw, inevitable, necessary way.
This is the last real Pisces New Moon before Neptune leaves the sign in 2025. You don’t get another one like this. The next one will be different. By then, Neptune will be gone.
Think back to March 2011, when Neptune first entered Pisces. That was the beginning of this era. What dreams have you been living under? What illusions have you clung to? This New Moon is where the dream ends, or shifts into something real. So if there is something you need to let go of, do it now. Because once the fires of Aries come, there won't be time to grieve.
March 1st: Venus Rx in Aries
From March 1 to April 12, 2025, Venus moves backward through Aries and Pisces. When she enters Pisces, fantasy dissolves. Illusions crack. Unresolved emotions rise to the surface. The past is closer than it seems. Aries demanded action, but Pisces dissolves it. The battlefield turns to fog. The passion turns to longing. What you fought for now feels like a dream slipping through your fingers.
Where have you romanticized the past or held onto a dream that no longer belongs to you? This is not new. You have been here before. Look back to the last Venus Rx, March 4th to April 15th, 2017.
Venus in Aries does not negotiate. She doesn’t ask for permission. She doesn’t soften her edges to be palatable. She wants what she wants, and she wants it now. But when retrograde, that fire turns inward. The urgency doesn’t disappear, it just circles, looping through the past... old desires, old lovers, old wounds that refuse to cauterize. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is not sentimental. So if you think this retrograde is going to be about nostalgia, about sweetly revisiting the past to find closure, think again. This is war magick. A moment of clarity with the self. A confrontation with how you have fought for love, or failed to.
Then the retreat. Pisces. The battlefield dissolves into fog. Aries is direct action, but Pisces is the dream. The undoing. The love that slips through your fingers. What does Venus retrograde in Pisces bring? The love that never quite ended, the love that never quite materialized. The illusion of sacrifice, the self-delusion of martyrdom. Venus is exalted in Pisces, but in retrograde, she’s not quite herself. She second-guesses. She wonders if the sacrifice was worth it. She revisits the places she left herself behind.
Eight years ago, 2017. A cycle completing itself, or reopening. You should know: Venus retrograde is not just about romance. It’s about worth. What you once believed you deserved. What you settled for. Here’s the thing about Venus retrograde: it reveals. It strips away the illusion, the justifications, the pretty lies you tell yourself about love, about worth, about what is and isn’t possible. And once you see, you can’t unsee. That’s the point.
So. What did 2017 teach you? What patterns are repeating? What love stories, heartbreaks, and self-worth lessons remain unfinished? The past is knocking, and it’s inside the house.
March 3-29: Mercury in Aries
As we drift in Pisces' dreamscape, Mercury enters Aries on March 3, igniting thoughts, words, and ideas like sparks against dry tinder. Here, words move fast, ideas hit hard, and filters disappear. Mercury in Aries isn’t interested in pleasantries, it cuts to the chase, speaks before thinking, and doesn’t wait for permission.
This transit brings a sense of urgency, a need to say what’s been left unsaid, a push to initiate conversations that might otherwise linger too long in the background. But urgency is not always clarity. Sometimes it’s just heat, just impulse, just reaction. Mercury in Aries is a powerful tool when wielded with intention, but when left unchecked, it can ignite arguments, burn bridges, and speak truths that aren’t totally fully formed yet.
But Mercury’s journey through Aries comes with a caveat, it will retrograde at 9° Aries on March 15. This means whatever begins in early March will be up for review. Words spoken in passion may need to be retracted. Ideas launched prematurely may need to be reworked. Actions taken impulsively may lead to dead ends.
This is not a reason to silence yourself. Aries isn’t here to be small. But it is a reminder that not everything needs to be said just because it can be. That sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do with our words is let them breathe before setting them loose.
March 14: Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”
— Flannery O’Connor
On March 14 at 2:54 AM EDT, Total Lunar Eclipse at 23°57' Virgo.
Eclipses bring fated events, sudden shifts, and doors closing permanently. This one is particularly potent. It’s the second eclipse in a series along the Virgo-Pisces axis (2024-2027), continuing a storyline that began with the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024.
Virgo is precision, order, and function. Pisces is fluidity, chaos, and transcendence. This eclipse asks us to balance the two; to integrate the dream with the tangible, to surrender while still keeping our feet on the ground.
What is being revealed? What structures must shift? What illusions must fall away? Expect major revelations in the areas of health, work, daily routines, and spiritual integration. The Virgo Moon is relentlessly practical, and under its light, we will see exactly what needs to change.
Pisces Sun, Saturn pressing close. Neptune at the threshold, 29 degrees, the last breath before the abyss. This is not a dream. This is consequence. The last time you stood here, you had illusions to cling to. Now? Just the raw truth, stripped bare. The story you’ve been telling yourself—about who you are, about what you can endure—falters under the weight of its own contradictions.
Jupiter in Gemini, words expanding and multiplying, but do they mean anything? Mercury in Aries, blunt, impatient. You could say something. You could say everything. Would it change what needs to be faced?
Chiron, 21 Aries. The wound that does not close. The place where you keep returning, like a tongue to a broken tooth. The wound does not define you, but the way you carry it does. You cannot keep living in the echo of an injury.
Pluto in Aquarius, still near the gate. Revolution is inevitable, but slow. You want finality. You want a clean break. Pluto does not grant that mercy. Change will come, but it will not be neat. It will not be comfortable. You will not leave this eclipse unmarked.
Uranus, 24 degrees Taurus, rattling the foundations. If you haven’t made the change willingly, it will be made for you. Venus and Mars, both caught in their own entanglements, one eager, one hesitant. The heart and the body want different things. Which do you listen to?
Lilith at 28 Libra. The rejection of pleasing. This eclipse asks: who are you when you stop trying to be digestible? What happens when you stand in your own darkness and do not apologize?
And then there’s the axis. The North Node at 27 Pisces, the South Node at 27 Virgo. The known, the unknown. The familiar patterns, the dissolution of them. The past calls, begging for resolution, for comfort, for routine. The future stands before you, liquid and uncertain. You already know what needs to be done. The eclipse simply forces your hand.
This is the crossroads. This is the point of no return. The shadows only look ominous because you have been staring at the light too long. Let the darkness settle. Let it show you what is real. And when the Moon emerges again, it will not be the world that has changed. It will be you.
March 15: Mercury Retrograde in Aries. A Second Look
Just a day after the eclipse, Mercury stations retrograde at 9° Aries. The fiery momentum we’ve built suddenly stalls. This is not a time to push forward but to go back.
Mercury Rx in Aries revisits battles, reopens old wounds, and forces us to rethink impulsive decisions. This retrograde asks us to go back over our words, our decisions, our impulses. To make sure what we’ve started is actually what we want.
What words need to be retracted? What ideas need refining? What actions need reconsideration?
This retrograde will extend until April 7, after which Mercury will move back into Pisces on April 16 for a final dive into intuition before fully exiting Aries on May 10. That means whatever comes up now will take time to sort itself out. By April 16, Mercury will retreat into Pisces, bringing a final opportunity to process, reflect, and approach things from a more intuitive lens. But by May 10, when Mercury finally exits its post-retrograde shadow, we’ll be moving forward with full clarity on what we truly mean vs. what was just heat in the moment. Take your time. Slow down. Think before you speak. Because what’s said now will be remembered later.
March 20th: Sun enters Aries
Pisces Seasons Horoscopes
Aries & Aries Rising
You blaze forward, always. But Pisces season is a slow tide eroding urgency, a dream state thick with old ghosts. The road ahead is fogged over, and no matter how fast you run, the destination dissolves in the mist. This is a time to pause, to listen, to let the current move you instead of fighting against it.
With Mars stationing direct in Cancer on February 23, you feel the weight of unprocessed emotions pulling at your gut. Let them surface. You may feel especially protective of your home and those you love, yet old wounds from childhood or family dynamics may surface, demanding attention. Be mindful of passive-aggression or defensive reactions—true healing happens when you face the discomfort directly.
The Pisces New Moon on February 27 reveals what must be surrendered; old habits of control, buried grief, subconscious defenses. It’s a time to release expectations and trust the unknown. By the time Mercury enters your sign on March 3, your voice sharpens, your thoughts quicken. Then comes the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, spotlighting your routines, your work, your body. If you’ve been running yourself ragged, the eclipse will intervene. Where has self-neglect crept in? If something no longer sustains you—whether a job, habit, or commitment; it will be stripped away. Rest is not a weakness. Adaptation is a form of strength.
Venus begins this descent in Aries, lighting up your sixth house of routine, work, and the body. A strange place for love, but then again, you have never been the kind to separate romance from survival. You have fought for love before. You have bled for it. But was it worth it? Did you mistake the fight for the feeling? Venus in Aries does not beg. She does not negotiate. If your love has required a war, this retrograde forces you to ask if it was ever love at all.
Mercury stations retrograde in Aries on March 15, just after a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. You will be forced to reconsider the battles you are picking. Not every fight needs to be won. Some are better left to drown. This is the final tide before Aries season. Let it take what no longer belongs. Let it soften the parts of you that cannot survive the fire ahead.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
Pisces season is an ocean of longing, calling you deeper into the world of dreams, but not all dreams are meant to last. Some dissolve like seafoam, leaving only the lesson behind. Who do you trust? Who truly sees you? The New Moon on February 27 asks you to release illusions: about friendships, about community, about the vision of your future that no longer holds.
With Mars stationing direct, you might find long-standing tensions in friendships or group dynamics coming to the forefront. This is a time to reassess who you align with. Are your ideals still in sync, or have you outgrown them? Some partings may be necessary.
Venus retrograde does not bring simple answers. It does not soothe. It does not make peace. It disrupts. It reveals. In Aries, Venus moves through your fifth house... love, pleasure, risk. The past comes calling, but this time, you are seeing it for what it really was. Old lovers, old passions, old versions of yourself. The things you once desired. The things you once thought were love. Aries does not hesitate. Venus in Aries is now, now, now, except in retrograde, she is spinning in circles, moving forward only to return to the same place again. Venus then moves into Pisces. And suddenly, the illusion cracks. The past softens, but it does not disappear. This is the love that slipped through your fingers. The longing that never quite left. The person you thought you had let go of but never really did. The sacrifice you once made, was it worth it? Or did you abandon yourself in the process?
By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, the focus shifts to your creative life. What have you been creating for others rather than for yourself? What joy has been lost under obligation? This eclipse demands a dismantling. Not everything stable is worth holding onto. If a romance or passion project has felt stagnant, expect a shift. Realignment is necessary.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
Your career path bends in strange directions now. Pisces season makes everything uncertain, from your professional goals to your public image. What once seemed like a clear plan is suddenly blurred at the edges. Neptune rules this domain for you, and under its influence, not everything is what it seems. The professional path you’ve been walking, the roles you’ve played, the titles you’ve carried, the goals you once swore would define you... suddenly shifting. The destination isn’t gone, but the map you were following no longer makes sense. Neptune has been casting its spell over your career sector for over a decade, shaping dreams, illusions, and sometimes delusions about what success should look like. Under its influence, things are not always what they seem. The offers that appear promising may be empty. The doubts creeping in may not be paranoia, but instinct. What if the version of success you’re striving for isn’t actually yours?
The Pisces New Moon on February 27 asks for a surrender. Not defeat, not failure, just surrender. To let go of the outdated ambition, the title that no longer fits, the external validation that once felt essential. If you’ve been pushing forward at the expense of your well-being, this is where the course correction begins. Pay attention to hidden power dynamics at work: someone may not be as supportive as they seem. Pay attention to what is implied rather than said, promised rather than given. Pisces thrives in subtlety, but Saturn is here too, demanding clarity. Where do you stand? And who stands with you?
By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, attention turns to home. Work-life balance is no longer a theoretical discussion.. it’s a demand. What structures need to shift so that you are not running on empty? What must be rebuilt from the ground up? If your living situation feels unstable, this eclipse may bring a necessary change. Some Geminis may relocate, redefine family roles, or make career shifts that prioritize personal well-being over professional ambition. Pisces season asks you to trust the currents, not the map.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
You've likely felt exhausted, emotionally raw, or stuck in old wounds you thought you had already healed. Mars has been dragging you backward through old battlefields, forcing you to sit in the wreckage, to feel the weight of wounds you swore had healed. Exhaustion has set in, not just in your body, but in your spirit. You have been fighting ghosts, wrestling with shadows. But on February 23, Mars stations direct at 17° in your sign, and the dam finally breaks. Memories resurface, emotions hit like a tide, lessons return like old debts coming due. This is an unbinding, a breaking open. The weight you’ve carried begins to shift, but not before you acknowledge why it was there in the first place.
Pisces season does not offer clean resolutions. It does not hand you closure tied up in a neat bow. Instead, it urges you to go deeper. To sit with the unraveling. To trust the places where the ground gives way beneath you.
And then, February 27, the Pisces New Moon. A reset. A portal. An invitation. Pisces rules your ninth house, the domain of belief, knowledge, and the stories you tell yourself about the world. This lunation asks you to reconnect with your own intuition, your own wisdom, your own sense of truth. The way forward is not logical, it is felt. But Neptune is here, bringing illusions into the mix. Not everything is what it seems. If you are not careful, you may mistake longing for destiny, nostalgia for wisdom, deception for divine intervention.
Venus begins her retrograde Aries and Pisces on March 1, dragging you through the past, not just through old relationships, but through old versions of yourself. This is about what you once desired, what you once believed you deserved, and the trade-offs you made along the way. The last time Venus retrograded here was March-April 2017.
Did you compromise on your professional worth? Then, on March 11, Venus slides back into Pisces. This is the love that never fully arrived. The sacrifice that never fully made sense. The dream that never quite came true. Pisces is your ninth house, and here, Venus is looking for meaning in love, but in retrograde, she is questioning everything. If you’ve romanticized the past, an old flame, an old dream, an old “what if”; this retrograde forces you to confront whether that fantasy ever had roots in reality. This is about self-worth. About the trade-offs you've made. About what you once believed you deserved.
By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, the focus sharpens: What is the story you tell yourself every day? What mental loops need to be broken? Communication and relationships with siblings or extended family may require a shift. The way forward is through rewriting the narrative.

Leo & Leo Rising
This Pisces season is not gentle. It does not warm you like the Sun. It does not stroke your ego or reward your confidence. It dissolves. It erodes. It pulls you into the places you have avoided, the debts, the obligations, the hidden agreements your soul has made. This season floods your eighth house, the underworld of intimacy, shared resources, power, and loss. You are standing in the liminal now, face-to-face with what you owe, not just financially, but karmically. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 is a moment of clarity. What is left unfinished? What patterns keep cycling through your relationships, your fears, your intimacy? The fears you keep buried, the debts that linger from past choices, the wounds that keep reopening, you cannot ignore them now.
Venus retrograde begins March 1, setting fire to the past in the house of the future. Aries rules your ninth house—belief systems, long-term visions, the maps you make for your life. Venus does not move forward here; she moves in reverse, dragging her fingertips across the memories, retracing the places where desire first took root.
Have you been romanticizing a past version of yourself? Have you been chasing a dream that no longer fits, a vision of the future shaped by old expectations? This retrograde does not ask politely. It demands. Before you move forward, you must confront what still haunts you. The past is not gone; it lingers in the choices you make now, in the beliefs you hold onto like anchors when they were always meant to be driftwood. Venus is walking a path you walked eight years ago. March 2017. Who were you back then? Who did you love? What did you crave? And more importantly, what did you compromise to get it?
Not all dreams are meant to be chased forever. Some need to be burned. Some must be exorcized. And when Venus slips back into Pisces on March 11, the fire turns to mist. The certainty dissolves. The thing you swore you wanted forever now feels like a distant mirage. This is your chance to rewrite the story. But first, you must decide what no longer belongs in it.
By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, the focus shifts to material security. Are you being compensated fairly? Are you investing in things that nourish or deplete you? The dream must meet the reality. If you've been avoiding financial responsibilities, the eclipse forces you to take control. No more illusions, Leo. No more pretending.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
Pisces is your opposite sign, which means this season is all about relationships. But here’s the question: do you disappear when you love? Do you dissolve into others, merging so fully that you forget where they end and you begin? This season is about reclaiming yourself. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 asks you to release control, to let people be who they truly are, not who you’ve shaped them to be in your mind.
Venus begins her descent in Aries on March 1, moving backward through your eighth house—power, intimacy, debts unpaid. This is where bonds are forged in fire, where love is not a feeling but a contract. The eighth house is where things are taken, where things are given, where something is always owed. Have you been settling for less than you deserve? Have you given too much for too little in return? Or worse, have you mistaken sacrifice for love? The last time she walked this path was March 2017. The past is not behind you, it lives in the fine print of the choices you made then. What were you learning about love, about power, about the cost of devotion? Where did you place your worth? What did you let slip through your fingers?
Then, on March 11, Venus retreats into Pisces. And everything softens, dissolves, disappears. The contracts written in fire now have been dosed in water. The contracts written in fire are doused in water, the ink smudged, the fine print unreadable. The love that was supposed to last. The love that never fully arrived. The one that lived more in your mind than in your hands. You can either be drown in the illusion, or start swimming.
Then comes the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, and it brings a Day of truth. This is your eclipse, your moment of clarity. Who stays? Who goes? What masks must drop? The truth is here, raw and unfiltered. The question is: What will you do with it?

Libra & Libra Rising
Pisces season washes over your daily life like an incoming tide, erasing structure, blurring deadlines, softening the sharp edges of your to-do list. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 asks you to dive deep into the wave and surrender. Something in your daily life is no longer sustainable, and you know it.
Venus retrograde begins March 1, retracing your steps through Aries and Pisces. She is your ruler, and when she moves in reverse, you feel it in your bones, in your gut, in the places where love has left its mark.
First, Aries. The battlefield of the seventh house. Partnerships. Agreements. The ghosts of old lovers sharpening their teeth on memories you swore were buried. Something from March 2017 rises from the depths, a choice, a dynamic, a lesson you have not finished learning. The question is not if history is repeating itself, but whether you will answer the same way. No more illusions. No more martyrdom disguised as love.
This time, you see it for what it is. Will you finally walk away? Then, on March 11, Venus falls back into Pisces. And the battlefield dissolves into mist. No more swords, no more strategy—only feeling. Have you been offering yourself up on the altar of someone else’s comfort? Have you been bleeding out in the name of love, calling it devotion when it was really self-erasure?
Venus retrograde in Pisces demands honesty. This time, you see it for what it is. Will you finally walk away? By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, reality kicks in. Health, habits, and work demand restructuring. What have you neglected? What is no longer working? This eclipse forces a settlement. Balance must be restored, but not in the way you expect.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Pisces season pulls you into the deep; into love, into creation, into longing. You are entering the dream world, Scorpio. Pisces season softens your edges. It is where you play with fate, where you pull the strings of your own mythology. But this is not the kind of play that comes without consequence. Pisces does not care for rules. It pulls you toward indulgence, toward the ecstatic, toward the things that make your pulse quicken. But desire is never simple for you. There is always an undercurrent, always a shadow lurking beneath. But not everything is meant to last.
The Pisces New Moon on February 27 asks you to surrender an old vision of pleasure, of romance, of what makes your heart light up. The question is not just what do you want? but why do you want it? Are you chasing the feeling or the fantasy? Is this love, or is it a ghost of something you never truly had? Pisces offers you the dream, but Saturn is here too, watching from the shoreline. This time, you cannot afford illusions.
Mars, your traditional ruler, has spent months wading through Cancer, dredging up old wounds, rekindling ancestral fires, making you question where your energy has been wasted. But on February 23, Mars stations direct. The past stops pulling at your ankles. The fight shifts. The energy returns. You are no longer stuck in the same old loops. But where does that leave you?
The Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14 forces clarity where Pisces would prefer ambiguity. The dreamscape is shattered. Reality breaks through. This eclipse lands in your eleventh house of alliances, communities, and long-term goals. Something about your place in the world, your friendships, your ambitions, your allegiances will change.
Pisces season wants you to feel your way forward. To trust your intuition. But this is not a season for escapism. This is a season for choosing what is real, what is worth investing in, what is worth risking your heart for. By the time Aries season arrives, you will have your answer. But first, you must walk through the fog.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
This is a season of haunting, Sagittarius. Not in the way of fear, but in the way of old ghosts returning, the past calling you back, the memories you have long ignored surfacing in unexpected places. No matter how far you have traveled, no matter how many doors you have closed behind you, there are things that refuse to be left behind.
You are not used to looking back. You prefer forward motion, new horizons, uncharted territory. But Pisces is not interested in your preferred direction. This is not a season of conquest. This is a season of submersion. The tides pull you inward, asking you to examine where you have come from, what shaped you. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 is a surrender. A moment where you realize that something you’ve been holding onto, some old narrative, some belief about yourself, some tie to the past is no longer sustainable. Let it go. There is no use fighting the ocean.
The Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14 changes the way you have been presenting yourself to the world, the structures that have held your ambitions; something about them is about to shift permanently. If you have been standing on unstable ground, this eclipse will show you the cracks. If you have been holding back, afraid to step fully into your power, this eclipse will strip away the hesitation.
This is a season of deep internal work. But on the other side of it, when Aries season arrives, you will be ready to move forward without the weight of the past dragging at your heels.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Words hold weight, Capricorn. And this season, you must choose yours carefully. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 dissolves old thought patterns, breaking down mental walls that have kept you locked in outdated ways of thinking. Where have you silenced yourself? Where have you held back from saying what needed to be said? Where have you allowed others to speak for you?
Mars stations direct on February 23 is when the real work begins. If there has been tension in your partnerships, whether romantic, professional, or otherwise... this is where clarity returns. But clarity does not always mean comfort. Sometimes it means confrontation. Sometimes it means realizing that the words you’ve been holding in are no longer optional.
Venus retrograde is a mirror. Venus in Aries wants what she wants, and she does not care if it is inconvenient. But when she moves backward, she forces you to ask: What have I sacrificed for security? What have I settled for because it was safe? When Venus moves into Pisces, the boundary between past and present dissolves. You may find yourself saying things you never planned to say. Speaking what has been held inside for too long.
Then, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14 breaks the silence. The Virgo Lunar Eclipse on March 14 has you question what you believe. The structures of meaning that have shaped your worldview may begin to crack. Something shifts. The story you’ve been telling yourself is no longer sufficient. This is a season of learning. Of speaking. Of redefining. Let the words come. Let the truth be known.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
You are standing on shifting ground, Aquarius. You have spent the past year watching the world around you rearrange itself, watching people enter and exit, watching old versions of yourself fall away like dead skin. Now, Pisces season has you questioning, what is left? What do you truly have? What is real?
The past is knocking, Aquarius. And this time, it will not be ignored. Venus stations retrograde in Aries, turning her fire inward. Old conversations resurface. Unfinished business with lovers, with friends, with yourself. You want to move forward, but Venus is making you look back.
Then she retreats into Pisces, slipping into your second house, money, self-worth, survival. Here, illusions dissolve. The justifications you have given for why you deserved less, why you accepted less, why you have settled in any way; those illusions fall apart. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 is a breaking point. Something must be released.
If something has been draining you, if you have been holding onto something out of obligation rather than genuine need, this is where the unraveling begins. Mars stations direct on February 23 in your sixth house of work and daily routines. The exhaustion of the past months begins to lift. The sense of stagnation fades. You begin to move again, but differently. By the Virgo Eclipse on March 14, the focus shifts to debts, both material and emotional. What is weighing you down? What must be cut loose? You cannot take everything with you into the next phase. Choose wisely.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
This is it, Pisces. The end of one cycle. The beginning of another. The last stretch before the world changes for you in irreversible ways. The Sun moves through your first house. This is your season, your moment of visibility. But it is not light and easy. Saturn is here. Neptune is fading. You are no longer just swimming through the dream, you are confronting reality. The Pisces New Moon on February 27 is your personal portal. Step through it.
You have been here before, Pisces. Maybe not in this exact place, not with these exact people, but you know this feeling. The sense that something is slipping, that something is shifting beneath the surface, that the story you’ve told yourself about love, about money, about worth is about to collapse under its own weight.
Venus retrograde begins in Aries on March 1, moving through your second house—money, stability, self-worth, survival. This is not the Venus of romance or pleasure. This is the Venus of what sustains you, what you rely on, what you believe you are owed. In Aries, Venus demands. She does not ask. She does not soften herself to be more acceptable. But when she is retrograde, her fire turns inward. The urgency does not fade; it simply circles. And here, in the second house, the question is sharp: What have you accepted as truth about your own worth? What have you settled for, not out of love, but out of fear? You have been here before. Look back to March 2017. A cycle is completing itself. Or maybe it is reopening. What were you learning then? About love? About money? About how you give yourself away?
The Virgo Eclipse on March 14 brings a final revelation in your relationships. Who stays? Who goes? The dissolving is inevitable. Let it happen. This is the last real Pisces season before Neptune leaves your sign. The last time you get to shed this version of yourself before something new is born. Do not resist the tide. Let yourself be remade.
