Where Each Zodiac Sign Should Place Their Attention During Pisces Season

Pisces season is here again, ushering in the final weeks of the zodiac calendar before we begin anew at the spring equinox.

This year, the season known for its mystical and romantic vibes begins on February 18 when the sun hits 0° Pisces at 5:07 AM EST. Running just ahead of the sun is Mercury in Pisces at 7°, but there is more Piscean influence going on in the skies this year than you might think. In fact, on February 18, there are no less than five major planets and placements in the sign of Pisces: there’s also Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node.

All of this suggests a very heavy, dreamy, and escapist couple of weeks ahead of us. If you’re creative, you’ll love this. If you’re a more logical type, you’ll probably feel like you’re drowning.

Just as it is useful to know ahead of time when storms are coming so you have enough time to stockpile goods and evacuate if necessary, the best way to navigate challenging astrological weather is to be prepared. Knowledge is key.

Read the following according to your rising sign—not sun sign—for a few helpful suggestions on how to traverse these rough Piscean waters.

Aries.

Pisces rules your twelfth house of the subconscious, so you can expect the next few weeks to feel oddly unreal. You may feel inclined to detach from your body in some way, whether through meditative, trance-like practices or through indulging in mind-altering substances. For those of you with a predilection toward addiction, this is a time to be particularly cautious. It’s okay to have fun, but know your limits. Oh, and keep a dream journal by your bed. You’ll thank me later.

Taurus.

With Pisces ruling your eleventh house, your social network is going to show up in new and unexpected ways to encourage you to pursue your dreams and keep you spiritually motivated. If your current friendships are lacking substance, it’s a good time to join a new community that is both creative and collaborative. Your desire for deeper connection is a sign to take a leap of faith and seek new people who can and will inspire you.

Gemini.

Pisces is the ruler of your tenth house, meaning this is the time of year to put your full attention on your career and reputation. You can expect ups and downs for the next few weeks as you settle into a new phase of your creative life, but as long as you stay true to your long-term vision, you can thrive. That said, in the process many of you will experience very public spiritual breakdowns—and breakthroughs.

Cancer.

With Pisces ruling your ninth house, you’re undergoing massive changes to your existing belief systems, and some of you may be visiting foreign countries in order to grow in your spiritual life. Immerse yourself in other cultures besides your own or begin an area of study that is pertinent to your self-development. As you learn, you will find the personal, political, and professional beginning to blend together.

Leo.

Pisces rules your eighth house, so this is the season to allow your spooky side to come out. Explore the forbidden, taboo, and tantalizing, even if it feels wrong. You’re guaranteed to learn something either way. Intriguing new sexual experiences and mysterious paranormal encounters are par for the course, but be wary of letting the veil thin too much and losing your grasp on concrete reality. At least on this side of eternity, you are chained to the mortal world.

Virgo.

With Pisces ruling your seventh house, your romantic side is deepening and you are more willing to be vulnerable—not only about your feelings but about your boundaries. Get to know your partner on a more intimate level during the next few weeks, sharing childhood traumas and secret dreams for the future. You might be wearing rose-colored glasses right now, feeling giddy like you’re back in high school whenever you’re around them, but you likely have a solid idea of whether your person is worth committing to in the long run.

Libra.

As Pisces rules your sixth house, you’re tempted to infuse your workspace with more spirituality and aesthetic beauty. This desire for harmony and respect for beauty is completely valid, as it will enable you to tap into your own artistic side more easily. If you can’t do much to your bland office space, shake up your daily routine in other ways: visit an art museum, a new coffee shop, or a bookstore where you feel free to let your thoughts wander. You’re like a walking dreamcatcher right now, so keep your eyes open for inspiration.

Scorpio.

Pisces rules your fifth house, meaning that this time of year you’re all about fun, flirtatious, and sensual experiments—preferably those without any demand for a long-term commitment. Surround yourself with cool and interesting people and spend the next few weeks emerging from your hermit-like enclosure. Even though it’s still pretty cold out, there are opportunities around every corner to meet your next creative partner or a no-strings-attached fling.

Sagittarius.

With Pisces as the ruler of your fourth house, you are feeling creatively inspired around the home and desiring a stronger spiritual connection. Your family or roommates might be coming along for the ride, or they might be the ones instigating the change themselves. On the other hand, if a loved one is showing signs of spiritual psychosis (all too common in today’s cosmic climate), gently remind them that TikTok tarot readers aren’t actually the cure to every single problem in their lives.

Capricorn.

Since Pisces rules your third house, the next few weeks are all about communicating your creative ideas with your local community. In addition, the people you exist near every single day might be over-indulging: watch out for weird, cultic spiritual practices as well as plain old-fashioned substance abuse. You might be the unlucky one who has to give an uncomfortable intervention to your neighbor or sibling struggling with addiction. Expect resistance, but remember that tough love is sometimes necessary to get through to people who aren’t thinking rationally in the moment.

Aquarius.

With Pisces ruling your second house, your approach to spending for the next few weeks could be borderline dangerous. You’ll be a magnet for scammers and swindlers; keep your hard-earned money locked safely away for a rainy day. Assume that frugality is best for now to be on the safe side, but if you have an opportunity to invest in something emotionally fulfilling, don’t hesitate.

Pisces.

Last but certainly not least! Pisces rules your first house and all things identity, so you may feel as though you’re undergoing a much-needed overhaul. You speak with a striking eloquence right now, commanding the attention of everyone around you. If you’re a poet, photographer, or musician, this is a good time to allow yourself to dissolve into the background, observing social dynamics without interfering.
