Sun Enters Pisces
February 18, 2022, 11:43am EST
When the Sun drifts into Pisces, northern hemisphere dwellers sense the ice beginning to melt, heralding the shift into warmer climes. The dream of green life beckons, softening the stark monochromes of winter. Those in the global south experience the opposite, the first fingers of autumn touching the edges of the air. No matter where you live, Pisces season signals a time get some extra rest and rejuvenation.
This mutable water sign moves in time with the oceans tides, dancing to a hidden universal rhythm. In psychological astrology, Pisces often takes a hit for being fickle and untrustworthy. But Pisces surfs the waves as a form of worship, profoundly flowing with and feeling the bigger picture of life. It signifies a time to allow the hard edges to blur, teaching us about the arts of compassion and forgiveness. In surrendering to this flow, Pisces reveals the bonds that connect us all to each other and to Source.
This year, the Sun seeks quiet refuge in the Piscean spa, breaking free of its usual Venus and Mercury entourage and leaving them behind. This perhaps reflects the desire to break away from harsh practical realities and bitter political divisiveness. We can’t escape the truth of our current world, but we can and must set aside time for soul nourishment. Jupiter and Neptune, the planets of grace and transcendence, welcome the Sun into their restorative domain. Take some time for yourself, whether sinking into a weeklong silent meditation retreat or a simple cup of tea.
