Astrology

In the first half of the month, we experience the change of Saturn into Pisces after 29.5 years, associated with a full moon in Virgo.

Saturn is the teacher, demands discipline, stands for clear order and restricts. The sign of Pisces, on the other hand, stands for the “non-material”, for the vastness and depth of the oceans, for the soul and interconnectedness of all things, but also for psychological dependencies and illusions.

Saturn and Pisces, the two could not be more opposite.

The task of Saturn in Pisces is challenging, for it is to bring order and structure to the intangible over the next three years. The meanings are many, which is why I will keep reporting on them in my previews.

For now, here are three important unfoldings of Saturn in Pisces:

• In the good, compassion is put into practice concretely, suffering is recognized and helped. Laws and structures are enacted to set limits to chaos and suffering.
• A shadow side of this constellation shows the increased tendency to adopt a victim attitude and to polarize. The enemy is seen and fought in the outside and thus illusions are kept up ironically.
• The theme of water comes even more to the fore. The melting of the poles, the handling of water, the pollution and the lack of water will intensify.

From the second half of the month, the energy changes even more strikingly. This is because Pluto, the planet of subconsciousness and power, shifts from strict Capricorn to freedom-loving Aquarius for the next 21 years, framed by the Spring Equinox and New Moon. 

Pluto in Aquarius opens the mind, strengthens the sense of community, the power of the people, and promotes technology. Consciousness increasingly opens to the “big picture.” We grow, learn, and realize the importance and urgency of expanded consciousness.

Personal Experience

Where you have Pisces and Aquarius in your horoscope, you can expect major changes and upheavals in the coming years. Especially if you have important planets or sensitive points like the Ascendant there.

Time for leisure

Until the beginning of spring on March 20, the energy is sensitive and permeable. We tend to want to do too much, including maintaining too many social contacts, , which can lead to overload. It is important to plan enough islands of rest.

Regular practice

Saturn in Pisces creates spaces where inside and outside increasingly merge. Saturn corresponds to Kronos in Greek mythology, who rules over chronological time. As naturally as we brush our teeth and take care of physical hygiene every day, Saturn in Pisces now wants us to cleanse our mind and soul daily.

Furthermore, it is helpful to feel inside yourself to realize how strongly you are driven by subconscious forces.

There are several proven methods to explore the inner self. Most of us have already tried some e.g.: Meditation, yoga, psychotherapy, astrology, hypnosis, constellations; however, especially important is the daily practice of inner contemplation and reflection, listening inside and exploring myself.

What was planted as a seed at the new moon on January 21 is now maturing and unfolding more and more.

At the same time, what no longer has any validity is becoming apparent. We are in a process of detachment that is pushing things strongly forward and foreshadowing where the journey is headed.

By May 2, all planets without exception are moving forward. Thus matters are developing rapidly. Thereby it is not so easy to keep the overview and to gain clarity. For this we can rely on an excellent intuition, which shows us the way. 

The urge for something new makes us impatient, nervous and a bit radical, but it has the potential to change our lives from the ground up. 

Listen to your heart, trust your intuition, try new things, expand your horizons and find new boundaries.

Especially the days around the full moon on February 5 carry you further in the direction of constructive renewal. Ask yourself what does you good, gives you joy and brings you further.

When it comes to moving on and moving forward, the cosmos is united behind us in February. Mercury meets Pluto in Capricorn on February 10. This allows important questions to be explored. The spirit of research is awakened, lets think profoundly, critically and close to reality.

Venus, the goddess of love, with her highly sensitive, romantic, creative and spiritual touch in Pisces, also helps to follow the path of the heart.

Much of February is about love, relationships and merging with universal love. Venus, in fact, addresses the most primal of loves in Pisces: Acceptance and non-judgmental love for oneself and thus for all beings.

Listen to your heart and follow your intuition, so you create the basis for a fulfilling future.

From an astrological perspective, the new year begins with the first new moon in January. A new moon always symbolises a conclusion and at the same time a new beginning. It is the appropriate moment to plant the seeds for the developments to come. In 2023, the Sun and Moon meet at the first New Moon of the new year on 21 January. The two join Aquarius at the beginning, activating the new Aquarian era. All other planets also position themselves at this New Moon in a way that supports a concrete shift towards the Aquarian Era.

It is best to concretise your ideas from 21 January onwards. This is the starting point for implementing plans, making the right decisions and driving business forward in a favourable way.

Patience is still required for implementation until 21 January. The quality of the window of time before January 21 can be used well for this purpose for taking stock of the situation, brainstorming and planning the matters at hand.
