Sun moves into the 12th and final sign of the Zodiac – imaginative, impressionable, intuitive Pisces. Since it is a Water sign ruled by Neptune, pay attention to your dreams (keep pen and paper next to your bed to take notes 🙂 ) but stay grounded and connected. Over sensitivity to adverse energy or vibrations is no excuse to drift or try to escape. Be steady, be productive, be creative – which can be great for anyone associated with the arts. Ideas for new music, new choreography, new writing might bubble to the surface faster than usual. Pisces Sun on February 18, 2012, 10:18pm Pacific / February 19, 2012, 1:18am Eastern.
As always, those most affected have their Sun and/or Ascendant in Pisces. Note that planets transiting a sign add to the mix. With its ruler Neptune visiting until 2026, traits are intensified and we will probably all have our encounters with the mystical outer planet somewhere in your chart. Neptune has a reputation for clouding thinking, erasing boundaries, and fostering escapism, but, all these things that make life unsettled can also enhance creativity and imagination. The subconscious is a treasure trove of ideas.
Mercury, the planet of Communication, entered Pisces on 2/14/12 and will exit finally on 4/16/12. The influence on writing and speaking can show up in different ways due to heightening sensitivity, etc. Regardless, strive for clarity. Being sloppy, careless or vague can create such a mess. Also, during this time period, Mercury has its 1st Retrograde of 2012 – 3/12 – 4/4. (It begins the backward trek in Aries and winds up back in Pisces again.) If contracts need to be signed, and you can’t delay for 3 weeks, clear your head, review documents carefully, take off any rose colored glasses that might have found its way to your nose.
Tap into all that compassion and kindness that Pisces is known for and spread it among family and friends. Sympathy and empathy abounds – offer assistance where it is genuinely needed.
