Good day from the rainy Pacific Northwest.

Pisces Season began on the 18th, sandwiched between two powerful squares involving Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus (Feb. 17) and Venus in Aquarius and Mars in Taurus (Feb 19). These symbols paint a picture of changes that have been building, but facing resistance for some time, now gaining enough force and momentum to push through. 

Necessary structural changes and improvements can’t be ignored or postponed any longer. Sustainability and realistic long-term perspectives demand attention. New solutions for old problems are required. Holding fast and tight to individual comforts/power simply will not do. Power structures/infrastructures need to change and must be more collectively held and controlled. Strategies for self-centered survival must give way to more relational, community-oriented processes. Needs for repair and redress that have not been attended will no longer wait. Frustration and defiance have built to a certain point. If there isn’t open-hearted, open-minded willingness to work together, then there’s not more time to spend trying to convince anyone to get on board. Those who hold a vision and commitment to forward movement will move forward, and those attached to a past no longer viable will be left behind.

The above paragraph is my description of the current astrological energy. Apply it to the collective in a global moment of reckoning and increasing climate chaos. Apply it to work, relationships, home repair projects, health, or education. Consider the placements of Aquarius and Taurus in your own chart and apply it there. 

Mercury stationed direct yesterday, suggesting that the changes we’re ready for are becoming easier to understand and articulate. Over the next several weeks, new information and awareness will continue to arise, and new directions that we’ve been playing with in our minds and ideas will start to take more tangible forms.

This monthly newsletter is arriving a bit later than usual. I actually began working on it a week ago last Sunday, and then the power went out. All over the city, more than a quarter million people were affected by the outages. Some folks didn’t have heat or power for over two days. We live in a temperate climate most of the time and most homes here aren’t well-insulated to begin with. Systemic poverty and displacement due to gentrification in my city mean that tens of thousands live without heat or power or stable homes all of the time, and the freezing temperatures and lack of access to resources last weekend were deadly for some. We’re still faring much better here than in Texas, where the damage has been considerably worse and more extensive. My prayers all week (I mean, longer, because like... 2020...) are that these crises are a turning point. I pray that the intensity of suffering in this moment gives way to holistic compassion and strong, determined, majority-powered movements for radical change.

For more daily astro updates and musings, please follow me on Instagram, where I post multiple times a week with transmissions for the current aspects and cycles. My extended content subscribers also have access to my seasonal “month-ahead” calendars and worksheets, the highlights section of which is included below.

I’m wishing/visioning soft landings, loving transitions, and abundant support for you and yours.

Happy Pisces Season ~R
