The beginning of Virgo season at the end of August marked a radical shift in personal relationships. Practically overnight, you started to discover that your wants and needs have transformed—and that’s totally okay! You’re ever-evolving, Pisces babe, so it makes sense that your interpersonal dynamics will also transform. While this evolution may have been slightly unexpected, the Full Moon in your sign on September 2 (which is, in fact, 2020’s only Full Moon in Pisces), will help you make sure that you’re moving in the right direction. In most cases, a gentle, honest dialogue may resolve any tension and get you back on track. If your situation is a bit more complex, however, that’s okay. Knowledge is power and—at the end of the day—the truth will always set you free. You are the most compassionate sign of the zodiac, Pisces darling, so be sure to treat yourself with the same tender kindness you so effortlessly offer others. You deserve some TLC!

Next, on September 9, action-oriented Mars begins its retrograde motion for the first time since 2018. Retrogrades always fuel slowdown and reflection, but when assertive Mars’ high-paced cruise comes to a screeching halt, you may feel a bit jolted. But don't fret, Pisces! Even when Mars is going backwards, the cosmos always has your best interest in mind. Through November 13, think of the red planet as performing a gentle cosmic audit, encouraging you to align your daily habits with your emotional sensitivities. Are you taking care of your mind, bond, and spirit? If changes need to be made, don’t be afraid to build some new boundaries. It’s not about walling off your heart, it’s about making sure you feel safe enough to explore. You got this!

Huge relationship news is heading your way on September 17, when the Sun and Moon join forces in your opposite sign, activating your partnership zone. With both external and internal forces working together, your connections will be at the forefront of your thoughts: Is your bond written in the stars…or is the relationship just another black hole? It’s not always easy to see things clearly during the New Moon (after all, there’s no illumination when the sky is completely dark), so try not to make any impulsive decisions. Instead, try to set intentions for your hopes and wishes. What does a healthy, balanced, functional partnership look like for you? A quick manifestation exercise is to write a letter to your future (or current) lover, thanking them for being the best partner—be specific with your gratitude! Then, date the letter the day you want your manifestation to come true (be realistic—a date six months to one year in the future is recommended), seal it in an envelope, and let it work its magic. One of the most important components of intention-setting is giving the Universe the space to do its work. Not even the cosmos like to be micro-managed!

You may begin to see changes taking place as early as September 22, when the Sun shifts into Libra. For you, Libra energy activates the area of your chart known as the “eighth house,” which is connected to death, sex, and transformation (oh my!). But what does that mean? Well, for one, try not to panic. I know those words can be scary, but really, the next few weeks is about understanding the implications of your evolution. Simply put, breaking cycles is a big deal! If you’re feeling stressed, recognize that these sensations aren’t arbitrary. You’re impacted by external stimuli, so you can’t just ignore these issues! Over the next few weeks, direct your gaze inward by getting in touch with your watery roots. Submerge yourself in an essential oil bath and release all your psychic tension into the healing waters. Yes, even mermaids sing the blues…but when you create space that supports that journey, you’ll discover that your intuition is your greatest asset. Your ability to feel so greatly isn’t an obstacle—it’s actually a superpower. Lean into it!
