Try the Pisces Season Compassion Meditation
Rest and Recuperate
The Sun going through Pisces represents the final step in the annual zodiac cycle. This offers a respite to the powerful yet exhausting influences of its tour through Aquarius, as Pluto’s transformative vibe flooded the collective bandwidth. Consider this a cue to rest and recuperate. Let yourself slow down and find flow. Connect with nature, nourish your body, and take refuge in simplicity.
Increasing Compassion
Like booking a vacation, you must take responsibility for setting the stage of your rejuvenation. Increasing compassion is necessary because slowing down often brings up the feelings you avoid in daily life. Have you ever had that experience of fighting with your partner as soon as you arrive on vacation? It’s a typical issue that arises when you haven’t had time to deal with emotional backlog. Compassion gives you the courage to feel the feelings and then recognize the human commonality of this kind of suffering. It helps you dissolve the tightness in your heart and stay connected to others.
The Season Overall
With the emphasis on rest and healing, it is helpful to drill down into the particular healing that seems to be on the table for you. Current astrology targets healing the use of yang energy. In this context, yang energy means externally directed force. Every individual is on notice to manage their use of force, a task that must be accepted if we are to heal our society and our planet. As much as possible, avoid adding unconscious aggravation to situations. Lean into tangible tasks to find your footing, especially near the Virgo Full Moon on February 24. Recognize and take opportunities February 29 – March 2 to pause, breathe, and let go. If you can, retreat into stillness or nature, even if you only have an hour or two to spare. It doesn’t have to be fancy!
This prepares you for a jolt to the nervous system on March 3, followed by another on March 9. Depending on your own natal chart and personal situation, these jolts may provoke separation anxiety, unexpected explosions, or excitement. Several opportunities for creative action and healing exist between the two jolts. By March 10, the Pisces New Moon invites you to instill what you have learned about your need for rest and empathy, two primary navigational skills for current living. As the season winds down, focus on kindness and forgiveness in your relationships. Be inclusive by sharing and gathering wisdom from others in equal measure.
