Pisces Season is Times A Bagillion This Year

Now, the month of Pisces has EVERYONE more in their emotions, because no matter your sign the month we are in affects us all. We are all going to get more creative, consider others more (phew) and be more about love. Classic Pisces (just in time, non?!)

HOWEVER, this month we have many more planets and positions in Pisces than usual. Translation: Pisces is gonna affect us more strongly, and in more areas of our lives. 

We will have in Pisces: 

• The Sun (Ego and Motivation) 
• Saturn (Lessons and Discipline) 
• Mercury (Communication and Commerce) 
• Neptune (Dreams and Imagination) 
• North Node (Growth and Evolution)

You guys. Pisces is all over our asses lol. We best get the message. (See above for 12 of them though #1 is it 🙂

While it’s a lot – OMG so. many. feels. – it’s a time to bring love, creativity, mercy and wholeness into our daily lives. How? By being it. 

We’ve got two key points to focus on for Pisces intel: Joy & Completion.

First, the joy 🙂

 According to the Kabbalists, when the month of Pisces begins, ‘joy is ushered in.’ Wouldn’t that be great you may be saying sarcastically as you feel quite the opposite lol. So, while joy is ushered in this month and on the cosmic menu, it is up to us to connect to it.

Pisces and Joy: Your Set Point for the Month

Actually, the Kabbalists go so far as to impress upon us that joy in the month of Pisces is mandatory. Now, you may be thinking, we don’t do toxic positivity and indeed that is correct! However, what they are talking about, indeed urging us to focus on this month, is to be all about joy. To actively choose it. To find it, create it, be about it, share it, bring it, make it our whole vibe and way of being. Why? Other than it feeling good you mean lol, and we all want that, right? Right?! But…do we? Because actually that’s the thing. We canhave it, it is available at every moment, so why do we choose something else a lot of the time. We let a perceived slight or inconvenience rob us of joy. We let someone else’s bad day avalanche to us and the people around us. We get lazy with our own emotional choices. Pisces is saying choose joy. Again and again. 

If you are sad, feel it …and then you can move through it to joy. Joy is out there somewhere. We can call it in. We can swim towards it. We can choose it. So let’s do…

How to Choose Joy?

We have the choice, each minute, to focus on our problems and sadness, or to focus on what is working and what we want to build and feel joy. We can sit in sadness, or decide no, I’m going to reach out ask for help or see if I can help a friend, or a stranger. I could exercise, listen to joyful music, meditate, etc. We can choose to get outside of ourselves and bring in joy for the simple brilliant delicious joy of it – thus creating a chain reaction that will amplify to who knows how much more joy. It is contagious, too. Have you ever randomly smiled at someone? It catches! What kind of reaction do you want to cause? What do you want to magnify? We do it every day and all the time. Be conscious of yours.

Before you think, that’s just shallow Leah, that’s not *real* joy to just smile. Well, it can be. Meditation shows that imagining yourself winning a race and doing it feels the same in the body (ask all the Olympic medalers that do it!) You can activate so much healing by being in joy – plus it feels good. I mean, if you are thinking of all the ways out of joy, or are cynical about…why would you do that? See what you did there? Now, choose the opposite. Because it is an option. 

I’ve worked with Reiki Master Patti Penn, and indeed am a Reiki healer as well, having learned from her. Her company is called Pause in Joy as she is indeed all about it. She’s a great IG follow to have reminders and jolts to be aware what you are choosing. You can work with healers like her or myself to investigate the root of your choices so you can let in more joy.

It’s a month to delve into our feelings and to find our joy. And bring it to others.

Pisces Watery Depth: the Deep Moods That Don’t Feel Good

This lesson of choosing joy extra clutch in this month of Pisces – watery emotions and depth – because we can easily become sad, depressed, introverted, fearful…There is a lot going on in the world of course (oh lordie), but also in Pisces we feel more. BUT, we can also chose to dig deep and show up, be empathetic and sympathetic (look up the diff), and make the effort towards joy because it is better for us. 

(Now I’m not making light, like say if you are clinically depressed, of course. We aren’t talking about that. Do get help for that and be aware others many get sadder keep a look out for your friends like that. Empathy is Pisces hallmark.) 

If you are happy and someone cuts you off on your way to work you shrug is off and may actually feel concerned for that drivers well-being. If you are sad, you make that your raison d’être and excuse to be brush by the security guard and not say hello. Then, you miss a call from a friend with a fun lunch invite cuz you didn’t hear it cuz you were all in your head. Or maybe your significant other didn’t call you or text you back fast enough and you’ve decided they are thoughtless and selfish and it’s snowballed into how no one is ever there for you… And for whatever reason you chose you decide to end up angry and stewing all day and and…..You get it.

Because awareness of our feelings is the thing and this month we will be given ample chances to see. Observe yourself. Why are you choosing your behavior? Why are you feeling this way?

Are you being too about yourself? That can easily happen this month, too. No need to be hard on yourself just course correct and keep on 🙂 (Guilt is a trap door to stuckville.)

Why Would You Choose to be Anything Less Than in Joy?

This month the choice to feel joy can become a daily, and sometimes hourly (oof we do have those days) chore because of all the feelings that can come with this month of love and sensitivity and care. It can easily veer towards sadness and even addiction, avoiding our feelings with drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping – which is why the effort is needed.

And the benefits are just huge! Like I said, the ripple effect, but also, because this month sets up an energy for the year to come, so we want to inject it with as much joy so we can reap the multitude of rewards Pisces can bring. Can you say love and family and wealth and health and good tidings for all? I’ll take that!

Now, again, the caution is to not toxically move past some hard feelings. That’s. Not. It. But, do you really want to cling to being pissy because your friend effed up your coffee order again, or your kid messed up your dinner, or your spouse forgot some plans you’d made? Small stuff. Don’t let it get to thee! And the truth is, when we think about it, so much is small stuff. 

“Dream the world as it ought to be. Don’t let anybody, anybody convince you this is the way the world is and therefore must be. It must be the way it ought to be.” – Toni Morrison (Moon in Pisces)

Pisces Topic #2 is Completion: aka Endings

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. AS the sign of love and mercy, it does so easily because as we’ve journeyed through all the signs this past year Pisces has felt all we’ve been through. It feels everyone’s pain and joys because it has been there. It is wise and knows that life is cycles. Up becomes down and then up again… Pisces gets it: throw that love and mercy around like you got time in the bank vault and the more you give the more you get (because its true )

What needs to end? What emotional cycle is over and time to close the book on? What are your suffering that you need to release?  What story do you tell that you need to let go? Why are you choosing people or choices that don’t serve you? What has got to go? (People, belief systems, foods, routines, things – it’s spring cleaning time!) 

Let. That. Ish. Go. And get help if you need it. None of us does it alone. 

Maybe an astrology reading could help you understand yourself better – which you can book here with me. Maybe you need to see a therapist to heal from childhood wounds or relationship ones. As a time of spirituality you find what you seek.

As the sign of spirituality, Pisces season is a great time to connect with a new practice or teaching if you find yourself wanting that. I was recently at the Tucson Gem show and in addition to seeing so many beautiful stones and arts, you realize how many healing modalities are available. That too may be realized this season so seek out healers. It’s a great time for discovering people and practices to help you get in alignment, physically, emotionally, mentally…

It’s a time of year for reflection, being the last sign of the zodiac, so what have you learned, what do you wish to change, what do you want? 

Yes, desire! 

All that emotion and feeling is to give birth and create: your life is art. What are you making? Adjust at will. You can make whatever you want. What are you choosing and making?

Pisces Season is an Opportunity: Luck, Fortune and Goodness Await

As you wrap up the year and review, do be kind to yourself. Mercy and love is to applied to yourself, too, silly goose.
