Hello Dear Readers and welcome back to Meta-Astrology, now focusing on the zodiac sign seasons.
PISCES SEASON
The Sun enters PISCES on February 18 where it will transit through March 19.
For astrology consultations and tarot card readings (HOLIDAY SALE) please visit: JillDearman.com
Pisces Season starts out powerfully, giving us an emotional perspective on recent world and personal events. It’s a time to talk less and listen more. The Virgo Lunar eclipse on March 14th is all about finding the balance between honoring your emotions and doing the grunt work that needs to be done on a daily basis. Micro-meditations (even a few minutes) can help to center you, and quick clean-ups (even a few minutes!) can help you to feel more in control of your environment. March 15th brings Mercury retrograde, but focusing on details will get you through it with grace.
QUANTUM JUMPS: I include a meditative exercise for each sign called “Jill’s Quantum Jump.” Here’s what to do: find a quiet place, close your eyes, and use this hypnotic suggestion to imagine yourself embodying a parallel version of yourself for a few minutes or more. Take pleasure in the feelings that arise. Make notes on what arises. –JD

Pisces the Dreamer (February 19 to March 20):
Happy Birthday, PISCES! It’s your time of year andif you’ve been yearning for attention, it’s yours! You’ve got all of February to be direct about what you want, so don’t fall into that old pattern of playing coy!
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Imagine yourself as you want to be seen, then step into the picture.
Aries the Warrior (March 21 to April 19):
With Venus in your sign, you are apt to feel positively aggressive about sharing and showing off your talents. Good for you. This is a time when most people do not understand how important it is to be authentic. You invented the word! When Venus goes retrograde on the 1st, turn every mistake into a win.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: What would your super-fans say about you? Listen!
Taurus the Builder (April 20 to May 20):
The Sun’s transit through your friendship sector makes this a chummy cycle for you, Taurus. Rather than take the stoic and steady approach to life, it would be wiser (and more fun!) to collab with a bunch of buddies on the dream project you’ve been dropping into convos since forever.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Who would you laugh the most with on a lifeboat?
Gemini the Messenger (May 21 to June 21):
The new moon in Pisces transits the top of your chart which rules your public life and your career. If you suddenly become internet famous, locally famous, or even almost famous, what is the message you would want to share? Start crafting it now. The world needs your smarts and your wit.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Embody yourself as a leader, a boss, and pay attention to what feels good in that role.
Cancer the Guardian (June 22 to July 22):
Mars the planet of passion and force is transiting your sign and bringing you some of the energy you have really needed this winter. You may not have a lot of time to focus on your highest excitement, but quality beats quantity. When divine inspiration hits, do something!
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Tap into the feeling of the last time you took a major risk.
Leo the Leader (July 23 to August 22):
Venus in your house of travel makes this a good time to get out of town if you can, or at least get out of your usual habits. With Mars in your house of endings and new beginnings think of this cycle as a preparatory one. What is it you are waiting for? Make room for it.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Write down your dreams and reenact them in your waking life.
Virgo the Gardener (August 23 to September 22):
The Lunar eclipse in your sign on March 14th brings you a feeling of wholeness and clarity. Don’t let the big event pass without communicating with your higher self, the spirits, the universe, and your posse of peeps. You will want to remember this time in your life.Jill’s Quantum Jump: Think of your life as an opera and allow yourself to experience the big moments.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Think of your life as an opera and allow yourself to experience the big moments.
Libra the Artist (September 23 to October 22):
Your ruler Venus and Mercury the messenger are both stirring up excitement in your house of love. There are retrogrades (on March 1st and 15th respectively) yes, but all you need to concern yourself with is your own sense of self-worth. When you treat yourself with love, you attract the same.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: What does it feel like to become a new you? Test it out.
Scorpio the Shaman (October 23 to November 21):
Your co-ruler Mars is passing through your house of teaching and learning, so be sure to immerse yourself in the subjects that give you a thrill. You may feel like you are back in college again, geeking out, making out, and letting life unfold as it will.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Tune into the most spontaneous version of yourself, and turn up the volume.
Sagittarius the Traveler (November 22 to December 22):
The Sun is transiting your house of home and family and making you see how much people need your presence. Focus deeply on the ones you love and allow them to share what’s in their hearts. You are in a growth spurt, and maturity looks good on you.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: Give yourself your own wise counsel.
Capricorn the Merchant (December 23 to January 19):
The new moon in Pisces on February 27th falls in your house of communication, making your brain work at warped speed. Write down ideas as they come and see how in sync you are with the way the wind is blowing in the world. Your detachment serves you best, so stop, look and listen.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: What words keep popping into your head? Embody them.
Aquarius the Visionary (January 20 to February 18):
The Sun transits your money sector now and brings you some grand opportunities to increase your wealth, and your self-esteem. If you’ve been worried about finances, now is the time of more, more, more.
Jill’s Quantum Jump: What do you love about money? What do you hate?
