Horoscope:
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
FEBRUARY 2009
Got unfinished business? Wrap it up in the first three weeks of February. The Sun is touring your twelfth house of endings, making this a much better time to tie up loose ends than to start anything new. On the 18th, the Sun will enter Pisces, reinvigorating you. Clear the decks so you can be ready!
You may find February has a sleepy vibe until the 18th, so keep things as calm as you can. If you have a medical procedure scheduled—or you’re just due for some good old-fashioned R&R—tap into the twelfth house’s healing vibes.
Health is a strong focus for this month, too. On February 6th, a Leo lunar eclipse falls in your well-being sector. If you’ve been ignoring your physical fitness, this eclipse could make you well aware of tense muscles or little flare-ups, forcing you to get on the horse. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, the eclipse could motivate you to get back in shape.
Don’t forget to pamper yourself, even if you kick off a month of boot camp. How about a spa getaway, Pisces? There’s no better day than February 23rd to indulge in pampering and glamour—especially if holistic treatments are in included. On that day, Jupiter, your ruler Neptune, Mars and the Moon will all converge in your twelfth house. Escape from reality and nurture yourself with beauty and bliss. If you need to undergo surgery or a medical treatment, this would be a good day to schedule it, too.
It’s possible that some information could come to light that day (or earlier this month), revealing news that had been previously hidden. Pisces, we hope it’s good—and it certainly could be, especially regarding romance. However, there’s a chance you may not love what you hear. The twelfth house can expose shady dealings, as it rules the underworld. Perhaps you’ve turned a blind eye to a nagging suspicion, of you’ve sensed that someone hasn’t been totally playing on your team. You could find out the real deal.
Just remember that the truth shall set you free. Although you can easily slip into denial, there’s nothing like knowing the what’s-what. It frees you to be decisive, because you no longer have to doubt yourself or quiet that questioning inner voice. Your intuition can be near-psychic, so pay attention to vibes you get all month. Trust them enough to at least investigate!
One thing you’ll need to navigate in February is an opposition between disciplined Saturn (in your relationships sector) and rebellious Uranus (in your sign). When two planets oppose each other, it creates a dynamic where clashing forces must compromise. For you, the tug of war is between self and others, individuality and relationships, your needs and those of a partnership.
Since September 2007, Saturn has been in your relationships sector, causing you to mature in partnerships. Saturn delivers its lessons through “tough love,” so you may have weathered a trial or two. Any agreement—as formal as a contract, or as personal as the unspoken terms of a friendship—needs to be reexamined. Is it an equal give and take? Are you playing the martyr/doormat—or the reverse?
Meantime Uranus, planet of change and surprises, is in Pisces. Over the past year, you may have made a few sudden moves that shocked the people in your life. Hopefully, you’ve become more assertive. While exerting your free will is a great thing, with Saturn’s opposition, others may have been slow to celebrate your choices. There’s a chance you’ve met disapproval, or a lack of support. Do you feel like nobody understands you? This is why.
Pisces, remember: even the best relationships need to evolve. With Uranus creating such rapid changes in your life, perhaps you need something different now. It’s okay to voice that! If you don’t ask for something directly, you probably won’t get it. No more playing the victim. Be an adult in your relationships, and ask others to put in their fair share. Don’t worry if they grumble or complain—you’re nobody’s doormat, so wipe that “Welcome” message off your back.
The Pisces new moon on February 25 marks your personal New Year. This day is truly a fresh start for resolutions and goals for the next 12 months. Tune in deeply to what you want and need, and make a direct request to the universe. The clearer the better!
