Hello and welcome to Embodied Astrology. Thank you so much for listening. You're tuned in to your horoscopes for Pisces Season, February 19th through March 20th, 2022. My name is Renee Sills. I'm a consulting astrologer, somatic educator, and artist. I'm interested in exploring astrology as a tool for self-awareness, relational growth, and personal and collective healing.

0:32  

Before I get into your horoscope, I want to share some information with you about the future of Embodied Astrology horoscopes. You may have noticed that I did not release horoscopes for Aquarius Season, and I want to extend a thank you to everyone who reached out to me with concern this past month. Thank you so much for your care and for your warm wishes. Folks, I really needed a break. 2022 marks the seventh year of creating Embodied Astrology horoscopes, and I really adore this practice, I have to say, it also takes a lot out of me. If you've been a listener for a while, you probably know that I am definitely not brief in my interpretations, and creating individual 20 or 30 minute podcasts for all 12 signs — sometimes I choose to redo them if I feel like I forgot something — every single month. This is a lot of work.

1:21  

Additionally, on January 10th this year, I released your year ahead readings, which are between 90 minutes and two hours for each sign. They go in depth into the major themes I feel coming through for every sign throughout 2022. So by the time I got to Aquarius Season, I was just tapped out on my capacity and I needed to take a pause. During this time, I was able to reflect a bit on my intentions and desires for this work and on the evolving landscapes of technology and social media that have allowed me to share this work with you. I still have a lot of thoughts and a lot of questions, but a few things have become clear, and I will be making some changes in how I distribute my content. And I want you to be aware of these changes so that you can continue to access this work if you want it.

2:06  

First and foremost, your horoscopes are not going anywhere. As I said, I really love making them and I'm definitely planning to continue. They will continue to come out monthly with the start of each new Zodiac season and they will continue to be offered for free. Your donations and other forms of support gladly accepted. However, beginning next month with Aries Season, I will no longer be distributing my horoscopes through Spotify or iTunes, and they will only be available from embodiedastrology.com. So if you love your horoscopes, please head over to my website, click the horoscopes tab, and sign up for the free monthly horoscopes membership tier.

2:45  

Secondly, I wanted to mention that there have been several recent occurrences of fake accounts on Instagram who have been impersonating me as well as other astrologers, tarot readers, and psychics. And I should say that my Instagram content is distributed across Facebook as well. So these fake accounts copy our pages and they have a lot of the same photos, they use our taglines. But if you look carefully, there are some variations on our names. So for example, the most recent fake account for Embodied Astrology had two Y's at the end of the name. You'll also notice that the posts are usually all from the same date and often don't include all of the content that I will post on my own page. So these accounts then follow my followers. They send private messages offering readings and asking for payment upfront. Please don't fall for these scams. Okay, friends? If you get a message such as this, immediately report and block the account and definitely don't send them any money. This has been a super frustrating and ongoing problem for a while now. And the admin at Instagram has been very unhelpful. They continue to let these accounts proliferate and they refuse to verify my account for reasons that they won't explain.

4:02  

So for this reason, and others that I won't get into right now, I also want to let you know that I will be transitioning in the next few months from using Instagram as a primary space for releasing astrology updates and live videos, and I'll be starting to post the content that I create directly to my website. And I'll be hosting live and free events in my virtual community space instead of on Instagram Live. So if you want access to this content, if you want to join me in these live events, that's another reason to head over to embodiedastrology.com and make sure that you are signed up.

4:37  

I have varying levels of membership, beginning with a free or by donation tier that will get you access to horoscopes and my regular astrology content and writing. I also host monthly workshops where I offer embodied, creative explorations of current astrology and support for working with your own chart. And finally, there is a beautiful and growing community space and monthly astro teatime meetups where you can learn with others, with us about chart reading, working with transits, and how astrology manifests for all of us differently. All of my levels of membership are offered by sliding scale.

5:13  

Last but not least, I just want to thank you again. Whether you're new to this space, or if you've been tuning in with me for a while now, thank you so much. It feels really risky and vulnerable to be pulling back from social media since it's been such an important space of connection for me, and also a space where this practice has grown a lot. But it's clear to me that I'm not aligned with the priorities of these platforms and their owners, and the space that I want to hold with you is ultimately a lot more relational and interactive than these platforms can support. So thank you so much for listening. Thank you for signing up. Thank you for sharing with your friends and networks. And thank you so much for your support. I hope to see you in the near future at one of the Embodied Astrology virtual events.

5:59  

Okay, on to your horoscope. Please remember as you listen that my intention as an astrologer is always to see and support your greatest well-being and potential. Sun sign horoscopes are general readings. If as you listen, something doesn't land for you, it's not for you. Please feel free to always take what works, leave the rest. Make the meaning that is most meaningful for you. I also want to remind you that you can find written transcripts of these horoscopes at embodiedastrology.com in the horoscopes section.

6:37

Capricorn, welcome to Pisces Season. As you move into the season, the feeling that I get in my body is that you are holding a lot of complexity. The way forward is not necessarily clear. I think you've got a lot of different ideas, there are a lot of moving pieces in your life. And Pisces Season ultimately feels like a clarifying time for you. But clarification happens through confusion. Sometimes, I don't know about you, it can be easy for me to get into a real binary with my cognitive space. And if I feel confused, I'm like, I'm confused and I should be clear. But there's actually a lot to be said for confusion and for feeling confused. When things don't totally line up, when it's not easily apparent to see why something is happening the way that it is or what the next step is, etc., what it requires is an opening of other senses, a slow down, a paying attention in different ways, tuning in with intuition, and asking questions. And I feel like these are big themes for you in Pisces Season. You want to be asking yourself questions right now. And the questions that you're asking of yourself probably are deep. I think that they are on the spiritual level, the subtle level, the esoteric level. I think that you have some major questions that you are holding around how you want to live your life and how you want to show up for what you have already built and what you can build from here, given where you are, who you are, and what is happening in the world around you.

8:22

So before we get into Pisces Season and the flow or the sequence of the days in Pisces Season, let's consider where we're coming from, and travel back into kind of the last week or so of Aquarius Season. Now, throughout the beginning of the year, there was a lot of retrograde motion, particularly planets that were traveling through your sign. And I think a lot of folks were feeling a sense of slowdown, stuckness, traffic jams, some frustration. Not necessarily new, new energy at the beginning of the year. Although it does feel like there's a certain kind of stimulation and momentum that many people are riding, maybe you are as well. But beginning in mid-February, we start to have more direct planetary motion, some of the personal planets are leaving Capricorn and it feels like things are beginning to move.

9:20

Now in your chart, my sense is, is that you are in a somewhat tender and emergent space of personal growth. You're changing a lot and how you want to show up for your life and express yourself in this life is evolving, and it's evolving rapidly. Who you are, as you're listening to this podcast on the day that you are listening to it is not who you were a year ago. Some major, very significant points of your awareness, styles of your expression, your priorities, your values, what you're focusing on, these are major things that have changed, and they continue to change. And I think that this is part of the confusion or part of the tension that I'm feeling in your chart. Because Capricorn is an energy that really wants a plan, and wants to know what it is moving towards, and wants to have a sense that it is equipped, and has the preparation and the tools to achieve the goal that it has in mind. Now when the goal is uncertain, when the goal is moving around, when it's taking different kinds of shapes every day, I think that this can be unsettling to some of you, and particularly those of you who are more Saturnian, who have more Capricorn, more Saturn placements than others.

10:51

And mid-February is an interesting period of time for you because I feel like on the one hand, you are getting more clear about who you are and how you feel about yourself. And what you know your gifts are, what you know your value is. It feels like you're connecting with your self worth, your strength, your willpower, your motivation, etc. And I think in this kind of fortifying period of time as you're connecting more with yourself, you are becoming more aware of what is limiting you and what is holding you back, particularly what has been holding you back when it comes to fear patterns or scarcity patterns or insecurity patterns. And ultimately, I think that you are gaining courage. However, there is a funny feeling of a little bit of a lag time as your inner body is changing. And when I say your inner body, I'm feeling your emotions, your attention, your thought processes, your psychic body, I feel like your sentiment is shifting, and on maybe more of a subtle level, your identity is beginning to expand and take some new forms and take some new shapes. But, your physical body, your outer body, and here I include your affect, your performance, all of the external structures that you have built in your life up until now that are probably not changing at the same rate that you are — your relationships, your work in the world, your rhythms, patterns, habits, etc. — these are places that are still functioning with the old you who set them up, or they're still functioning in ways that maybe you, you used to know what to do with them or something like that. And now it feels as if there's a kind of awkwardness and uncertainty about how the new you can move forward in the space that the old you has built. And I'm really getting the feeling with your chart that you are ready to feel yourself differently, that you want to express yourself and embody yourself differently. Some of you might literally be wanting to change your hairstyle or dress in new and different ways. You want to use your voice differently. You want to feel differently in the world as you walk down the street. You know that you're changing and you want affirmation, I think, from the outer world. I think you want the external world to reflect these changes back to you and give you support for them. But, the external world is moving slower than your internal pace and so it's causing some cognitive dissonance and some emotional confusion as we move into Pisces Season.

14:16

Alright, so now we're getting into Pisces Season. The first thing that I want to say is I will be offering a workshop on February 21st. This is the Embodied Astrology Pisces Season workshop. And I think you might really enjoy it or get something out of it. If you can't attend live on the 21st, the recording will be available through the course the Pisces Season, until March 20th, and you can access that. This is a workshop where we'll be focusing on the endocrine system and the subtle body. And what we're going to be exploring is the ways that our mood and energetic output and perceptive capacity change when we are hormonally stimulated, and glandular stimulation or hormonal stimulation can happen for a whole variety of reasons. But one of the ways that it can happen is through attention and thought process. So we'll be working with practices that we can personally engage with to regulate our endocrine system and therefore open space for new or different kinds of perception and more integration between our physical bodies, subtle bodies, emotional bodies, and even the spiritual realms or the psychic realms and dream realms, etc. And I feel like you might really enjoy this work or, again, maybe it's not about enjoyment as much as benefit, I think you might find it beneficial. Because when it comes to your thought processes and your perceptive capacity and your mental attention, we're working with Pisces energy in the Capricorn solar charts. And Pisces is related to the endocrine system. And one of the interesting things about this for Capricorn, a sign that is always talked about as pragmatic, as realistic, as grounded, etc. — one of the interesting things is that this illuminates the ways that Capricorn is actually incredibly intuitive, very sensitive and deeply spiritual. Now, Capricorn in its identity may or may not always resonate with those words, and the external world may not always see those aspects in you, but astrology sees it pretty clearly. And I think that this is a period of time when Capricorn individuals are really well served when they honor their sensitivity, when they really listen to their intuition, and when they do work to build strength and fortitude and coherence between their psychic energy bodies and their physical experience, as well as their perceptive lens in the world. Okay, so if you're interested in that workshop, more information at embodiedastrology.com.

17:12

Now, as we move into Pisces Season, this place called Pisces in your chart, this place that has to do with your cognition, with your perception, with your awareness really starts to get stimulated. And it's been a while now, I'm going to say it's been at least 10 years, that a lot of you have been — some of you slowly, some of you quite rapidly — but I think a lot of you have been starting to recognize how deeply sensitive you are. And I think a lot of you have also been recognizing, to some extent the power of your intuition, the capacity that you have to build your intuition. Pisces Season is going to turn the volume up on, on this point of awareness for you. And as we get into Pisces Season, your sensitivity gets stimulated and it continues to be stimulated throughout the month. So the first thing that I want to say is this is a really important period of time for you to be tracking your internal landscape. To notice how you respond to environmental triggers. This could be the noise or the sounds in the ambient space around you. This could be smells in the air wafting across your field. This could be the way somebody is talking to you and their tone of voice. It could be the light in the room, etc. But this is a really interesting time for you to track your subtle body and to notice your sensitivities. Because I think a lot of you, I think Capricorn in general, has a tendency to push through and to prioritize the practical in a lot of ways, and it doesn't always notice when it is affected. A lot of you might be quite affected this season. And it will be informative for you, it'll be super educational for you to notice what your stimulation points are, and to notice what you do with them.

19:20

Now in late February, there is an ongoing process that is starting to wrap up. And this is a process that you have been working with now for a very long time. Again, we've got at least a decade, if not more, 13 or 14 years. And over the course of the last two years, this has been a potent space for you. And what this is, is a process of personal transformation that has you, I think, wrestling with aspects of your identity that have been put in place by forces that are not you. This could be familial forces, authority figures, institutional forces, the conditions of your lives. But, to some extent, all of us, right, have been shaped by our conditions. And anybody is going to need to grapple with that. Capricorn, you have been going through a very poignant, very potent experience now for a long time that is about reclaiming your power. And you are reclaiming power from... I don't even, I don't — I wouldn't even say it's individuals, I think it's a conglomeration of experiences and relationships and historic structures etc. You have been taking your power back from the ways that your power was shaped for you, perhaps before you were even born, again, by authority figures, by familial figures, by relationships you've had in your life, what people have projected on you, what they have wanted you to be, what they have needed you to be, the ways that society has projected upon you and told you you need to be X, Y or Z in order to get this, this, or that. I feel like a lot of you are steadily tearing down major constructs of your identity that you have built on for numbers of years in your life, I mean parts of yourself that when you started to learn over these last several years that they were not you, there may have been some iteration of an identity crisis, or a personal crisis that needed to illuminate, that there were ways of being, notions of yourself that you were carrying, value systems, etc. that were life negating for you. They were denying your, your actual substance, right.

22:10

And so in the last couple days of February, I feel you getting really charged up, and basically identifying some of these structures or some of these structural pieces that have been lodged in your consciousness and you are exploding them. You are exploding them. And what helps you explode them is when you get really present with yourself. And when you ask yourself, "Who are you really?" And when you allow yourself to answer that question from an authentic feeling space, right, with your sensitivity, with your intuition, not from your mind, not from the part of you that's been socialized to be productive, or a valuable member of society or family or your relationship or whatever. When you really listen to who you are, and what you are called towards, and how you want to express yourself, and the kind of energy and attention that you want to receive back from the world, you are getting really important information. And if that information is coming in, in some way as a confrontation or conflict with how you are now or how you have been in the past, that's where we get the explosions. And I feel you reaching the end of the line with something and you are really ready to move on.

23:42

Coming into March, into early March, we have a New Moon on March 2nd, this is a New Moon in Pisces. This is a powerful New Moon for you to work with your perception and your cognition. You may have heard of something called premotor focus. Another way that people sometimes talk about this is implicit bias. There's a kind of slightly different meaning between those two terms. The idea here is that we are trained through the entrainment of our caregivers in our early experiences, through the experiences in our lives up until now, but also through our genetics and the experiences that our ancestors went through, we are trained to perceive certain things in certain ways. And premotor focus is the idea that before you even focus on something, some part of you is already orienting to find that thing that you want to focus on. So if you are worried that there's not going to be any avocados left for you at the grocery store, or something like that, you know, when you go to the grocery store and then you see someone moving towards the avocado aisle, you might — or even if it has its own aisle, the basket or whatever — you might have a bodily response, right? And there might be thoughts that go through your mind, like, "They're gonna take that last avocado!" Right? Like if you have some kind of fear that's in your mind, it is easy for you to read into other people's actions, reactions, responses, into the environment itself in order to substantiate that fear. Right.

25:25

So I'm sure you've heard plenty about implicit bias and that kind of thing when it comes to social relationships. Now, what I want to ask you to think about with the New Moon in March has to do with yourself. With yourself in the world and with your function here in the world, and what it is that you want to be giving, your gifts, how you want to be growing, what you want to be opening to, how you feel your authentic self wanting to express in the world. And I'm inviting you to notice where you have self negating premotor focus, where you have narratives or stories that you've been telling yourself about why you cannot be the person who you want to be or love yourself for the reasons that you need to love yourself, etc. And when you find those stories, my invitation for you is to love yourself underneath them, to love yourself unconditionally, and to write a new story for yourself and I mean that literally. Take a pen and a piece of paper, write down the old story, cross it out, and write down the new story. And then read the new story and feel it in your body, feel it happening. Give yourself permission to be the person who you are becoming.

26:47

On March 2nd, which is a Wednesday, at 5:30pm Pacific, Embodied Astrology will also be hosting a guided meditation and Yoga Nidra practice with Dr. g, Dr. Claudelle Glasgow, who is an incredible human. They are a somatic therapist, a death doula, a spiritual guide, an artist, an author. They hold a lot of different kinds of spaces, and they'll be facilitating a practice that helps us tune in with our more subtle consciousness layers, speaking to our guides, guardians and ancestors, and inquiring into the ways that we can support ourselves through these times to be more resourced. Again, I think that this could be an excellent practice for you, you might really enjoy it. More information about the workshops at embodiedastrology.com in the workshops section.

27:44

March 2nd's New Moon is a very powerful New Moon for you, Capricorn. It feels like a turning point for you when it comes to your internalized narratives about who you can be and who you want to be. And the days following that New Moon, I feel like you are sequencing out some old energy and moving into new energy. I feel like you are putting something to rest when it comes to some really old, long standing self negating narratives and ideas that you have held, maybe your entire life. I feel like you are becoming conscious of them, you see them for what they are, and you are doing the work to pull them up by their roots and compost them. It is, it is time to move on and time to feel yourself in a different way.

28:40

And by the time we get to the waxing crescent moon on March 6th, you are moving with some really different energy. And the rest of March then is a big, wide open opportunity space for you to continue to nourish the new realizations that you are having and to substantiate them, to give them form in your body by repeating the new story to yourself, by affirming the new stories to yourself, by looking for evidence to back it up that you are worth being the person who you truly are. You can express yourself in the ways that you know that you're trying to do, you know that you want to. When it comes to your value systems and self esteem, March is an incredible period of time for you. I think that you are moving through a lot of layers of inhibition and insecurity. I think that you're looking at ways of being with yourself, with others, with the world in general that have been rooted in scarcity, that have been rooted in white supremacist heteropatriarchy and capitalism, in life negating systems that continue to destroy the planet and brutalize bodies. All of us have internalized these systems because we have come into the world and been shaped by them. And I feel like, Capricorn, you are doing so much work right now to cleanse your internal space and cleanse your mind.

30:23

Now as we get into the second half of March, into the second week or so of March, what is going on as I tune in with your chart is this feeling that confusion is starting to make space for more clarity. And in the way that over the first couple of weeks of Pisces Season, I think that you had a really strong cognitive process around looking at what doesn't work and what needs to happen and what are you dissatisfied with and how do you shift it? As we get into the second week of March, it feels like your mind gets more... it gets softer, in a helpful way, in the sense that you're not as edgy. And when you allow yourself to let go of the need to know who you're going to be in the future, then you can relax into it. Then you organically find your way. And again, this can be tricky for Capricorns because you want to have a plan. And it feels like some of you might feel a fair amount of anxiety in March around not having a plan or not knowing where you're going to go or not knowing what the thing is. But those of you, if you can let it go, the need to know, if you can just let that go and be present with the circumstances of your life as they're unfolding, watch for synchronicity. There's a lot of synchronicity for you coming up. And what I mean by synchronicity is signs coming in in your life, like, "Yes! This is the right way," or you meet someone out of the blue, completely random, and they're talking about the thing that you were thinking about yesterday, or you pick up a book and you open it to a page and you get some inspiration around a project that you've been wanting to do. March feels like it's bringing a lot of kismet, a lot of synchronicity. Your sensitivity continues to get bigger, it continues to heighten, it continues to expand. You can use this really well when you are giving yourself lots of time and space, as much time and space as you possibly can. When you need to think linearly, pragmatically, and realistically, you obviously have to show up for that task, but you'll be supported in those times if you give yourself lots of other time, where and when you can, to drift off. Okay, to indulge in dreaminess, to be curious and non-directive in the moment and kind of whimsical, right? This is a great time for you to make art, this is a great time for you to write poetry. Moving into March, we have a lot of support for your creative self expressive energy. Whatever is instinctual for you when it comes to artistic or performative expressions that you might have, I would definitely say this is a time when those expressions are not only inspired, but they are really healing for you. They're super helpful for you.

33:52

Continuing into March, we have a Full Moon coming up on March 18th. And this is a Full Moon in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is one of your fellow earth signs, and this particular Full Moon is bringing, I think, a lot of cohesion into the earth element. And for you this feels stimulating, and ultimately supportive. I think that this is where we really start to get the clarity that can come in for you through Pisces season. And it feels like this clarity happens because you are accepting yourself, because you're not trying to force yourself to be something that you're not, you're not trying to fit yourself into other people's boxes or their formulations of who they want you to be. But you're really listening to your own guidance and you're committed to your own healing.

34:39

The last couple of days of Pisces Season bring us into the vernal equinox, this is the beginning of Aries Season on March 20th. These last couple of days feel like there's some excitement. Like this Full Moon is bringing some excitement, maybe some more directivity to you. You may have some new ideas about how you want to move forward with certain projects or ways of being and I think that again, you have a lot of guidance and you have a lot of inspiration at this time. And it's really necessary for you to not rush ahead right now. You block the guidance and you block the inspiration when you try and formalize it too soon. This is definitely a period of time when you want to be open to suggestions from your intuition, from your subtle body, from the spaces and places around you. You want to take all those suggestions, keep working, you know, keep track of them, keep working with them. And notice what falls into place organically. Don't rush, don't push. Go with the flow.

35:44
