The Sun enters Pisces on February 18th at exactly 10:13 pm CST and will stay here until March 19th. After being in Capricorn and Aquarius, the Sun finally escapes Saturn’s rulership and can now enjoy being under Jupiter’s control. For the next four weeks, express your emotions more openly and be more sensitive in your intentions as you accept life’s mysteries.
Whenever the Sun is in a water sign, we need to be more willing to express our feelings, but with Pisces in particular, we must allow our emotions to be transient and fluctuate. Our feelings can quickly change and flow, often in a short amount of time, as our brains process and sort through what we are going through. We must be present and not force ourselves to settle on one emotion and instead allow ourselves to respond more naturally.
We also need to be more sensitive and gentle in our intentions. Decisions during this time must be met with a more empathetic mindset that rejects making ourselves the center. Our choices affect more than just ourselves, so we must consider the ripples we are making in the world and be more mindful in our decision-making.
However, all this emotional work may leave many of us exhausted if we don’t have appropriate boundaries. We simply can not be endlessly compassionate to every person and situation we encounter, no matter how much we wish we could. Sometimes, we have to make difficult choices about what we let enter our circle of compassion; otherwise, we will find ourselves sacrificing more than we have to give.
On a more positive note, we can use this time to embrace life’s more mysterious qualities. This is the perfect moment for us to let go of our need for concrete answers and accept that we are not in control. We are not machines that only operate on logic and reasoning. So, let things flow more. Let yourself dream and imagine. We don’t always have to be so practical and literal. It’s often only when we embrace the unknown that we find the understanding we are searching for.
