With the first month of the New Year behind us, I hope most of you were able to take advantage of some of the positive planetary transits that were set in place for us. On February 1st, the New Moon in Aquarius presents another opportunity to plant the seeds for unique and innovative ideas and to emotionally break from the status quo. This New Moon offers the possibility of a new view of how we see the world and our place in it. This is the time to embrace your individuality and include thoughts on how you can help to benefit humanity.
On February 3rd, good news! Mercury leaves its retrograde position and stations direct in the sign of Capricorn. You will need a couple of weeks to get your “sea-legs” back, but once you do, you will hopefully be able to move forward with more knowledge and clarity regarding any issues you had revisited during the retrograde period. The beauty of having Mercury in Capricorn is that our mind and communication processes are more practical, grounded and focused on success. It provides us with the ability to concentrate and organize our plans and visions for the future without being sidetracked by other drama.
Valentine’s Day brings thoughts of love and romance, but this year it may bring more questions about your love life than stability. Mercury moves out of “steady-eddy” Capricorn and into Aquarius on the 14th. Aquarius has a more detached energy surrounding it and is extremely freedom loving and unconventional. Love may be the last thing on the mind, and many in a relationship may start to question if their emotional needs are truly being met.
At the same time, the Moon has moved into warm-hearted Leo, so take advantage of the emotional need here for creativity, passion, and playfulness, as well as the desire for more affection and attention.
Armed with this knowledge, try something different this Valentine’s Day and think outside the box. Bring on the unexpected. Plan a surprise for your partner by renting a private Air BnB in the mountains and have some outdoor adventures like hiking scenic trails or maybe do some skiing, followed by relaxing in front of a cozy fire. You could also stay close to home and reserve a spot at your local wine and design spot creating art and sipping bubbly. Or hang out at home, hold hands, and share some deep intellectual discussions about life and love that go late into the night.
On February 16th, the Leo Full Moon is shining bright. Leo brings passion, creativity, and enthusiasm to the Full Moon. The energy is much more outgoing, and you will likely want to share your thoughts and knowledge in a big way. This lunar phase is when we act on the ideas and intentions we have been planning since the New Moon phase. During the Full Moon all information we have been seeking is now well-lighted and fully developed. Those things that were hidden and dark during the New Moon, now become completely visible. This is the high point and climax of the lunar cycle. The building portion of your vision ought to be accomplished, and you should have all the information available to move forward with the realization and fulfillment of your efforts.
Following on the heels of the Full Moon, comes the transit of Jupiter sextile Uranus, happening on February 17th. A sextile is an aspect or connection between 2 planets that is beneficial in generating opportunity and positive energy. However, this is opportunity that must be activated. It doesn’t just happen. For you to benefit from the good luck and fortune, you must be willing to invest some effort if you want to reap the rewards.
With this transit, your life opens to new possibilities making you more receptive to new ideas. It is a time when you are definitely ready to break from routine and try something different. Don’t be surprised if an opportunity becomes available that you must act on quickly. Just make sure it is something you really want and not just because you can. Some very positive changes can happen in your life during this transit that can lead to greater knowledge and enhanced life experiences.
Pisces enters the scene on February 18th. Pisces season brings a spiritual and mystical energy. It can be a highly creative time for many of us, as well as a time of heightened intuition and a more compassionate and emotional nature. Not only does Pisces season mark the end of winter, but it is also the last sign of the entire zodiac year, bringing together all the wisdom of all the signs that came before. It prepares us for the spring equinox and a more energetic lifestyle as we anticipate the excitement of new beginnings. Take advantage of this season and create quiet time for yourself. Seek knowledge from within, focusing on your inner self. Carve out time during the day for meditation, daydreaming, and journaling your feelings. Listen to music that invokes memories of a younger you.
This month’s horoscope column is all about how Pisces Season will play out in your life and what you can do to make the most of this season to head into spring with renewed energy and sense of purpose.
2022 PISCES SEASON HOROSCOPE: FEBRUARY 18-MARCH 20
ARIES – March 21 – April 19
We know you are high energy, but this season is asking you to take a time-out and spend a minute (or two) getting to know yourself. You will need more time for introspection and a calm demeanor to process everything that is going on in your life. Allow a clear picture to emerge of where and how you want to move forward once Aries season is upon you. You will need all your resources and a transformed energy as a new cycle begins.
TAURUS – April 20 – May 20
You are known to be a solid and loyal friend, or the glue within your social group or professional organizations. You may feel a stronger than usual desire to help your friends, which may create a situation that has you being taken advantage of. You could experience some confusion regarding the true motives of others. This is a time to set boundaries. Reflect on what meaningful connections represent to you and how you can act as a channel for helping others in a charitable or altruistic way without losing yourself.
GEMINI – May 21 – June 20
Your career and professional reputation are the focus during Pisces season. You will likely experience a more imaginative and creative outlook regarding your career during this time-period. You may find yourself questioning your professional choices and find yourself relying on your problem-solving and communication skills for the inspiration to further your career goals.
CANCER – JUNE 21 – JULY 22
Because you are also a water sign, this gives you an emotional, caring, and sensitive nature. However, because of your great emotional awareness, you have the tendency to withdraw into your shell when feeling hurt or threatened. Pisces season will help you come out of your shell and seek new insights and perspectives by opening your mind to more idealistic viewpoints and inspirational beliefs. Explore and pursue something meaningful of an esoteric or spiritual nature or studying philosophies of the higher mind.
LEO – July 23 – August 22

VIRGO – August 23 – September 22
You are famous for your love of perfection, control, and stability.

LIBRA – September 23 – October 22
Libra is always looking for balance, partnership, and has an eagerness to please others. However, during this period of time, it is more important for you to focus on your own health and well-being.

Take some down time for self-care and relaxation to re-charge your own energy system. Find a rhythm in your daily life, which includes your fitness routine, your spiritual practice and nutritious meal planning that works for you.

Don’t be afraid to step back from the whirlwind of your life to enjoy the secure foundations of home. This connection will give you the tools you need as you prepare to step into the fiery energy of Aries next month.
CAPRICORN – December 22 – January 19
Your usual approach to life is to constantly be striving for something or getting caught up in the hectic activity of work.
