With Pisces season upon us from February 18 through March 19, our resident astrologer Chani Nicholas offers a horoscope for each zodiac sign.


Pisces knows the immense power of kindness, consideration, and care. It knows that developing the ability to have compassion—for ourselves and for those around us—is an invaluable investment to make in our lives, our world, and our futures. We set ourselves up for success when we focus on strengthening the connective tissue of our lives.

Empathetic to no end, Pisces knows no boundaries. This water sign can leak energy faster than a bottomless cup loses liquids. But this same trait can also find the cracks in the walls of any heart—and can permeate even the most guarded among us. It seeks to relieve pain through connection and is attuned to the suffering of others. It can spot a mistreated soul a mile away and always makes room at its table for those in need. Without defense, the fishes find it easy to give and receive love. Permeable, open, and available, Pisces knows that to hurt another is to hurt itself—and to love another is to be a channel for more of the same.

Seeking all avenues towards emotional availability, in general Pisces Season aims to sensitize us all. Reciprocity depends on our ability to disarm ourselves. In a world that is constantly teaching us how to be defended, that can be counterintuitive; when we only focus on attaining things, it’s much easier to live in a scarcity mindset. But when we focus on what we have to give, all kinds of opportunities and avenues to explore appear.

This Pisces Season starts out with Mercury still in retrograde, making plans a little less solid than we’d perhaps like. Since this astrology is well-suited to reflecting, reworking, editing, imagining, and rethinking the thesis of our life, the last week of February and the first week of March are perfect times to envision the steps we’d like to take come spring. Potent creative incubators, these last days of winter are for dreaming, connecting, and embodying what it means to live a life with compassion at the core of it.


Aries

Pisces Season asks you to settle into the silences inside your days, the stillness between the busy, and the spaces in your life where you can let yourself be exactly as you are. Indulge in as many micro-doses of rest as you can.

Taurus

Make space for leisurely brunches with your besties. Friendships are a focus at the moment, and even if you come up against a couple of challenging conversations, the way through them requires patience, a persistent compassion, and kindness. Being soft with yourself tells others how to be with you too.

Gemini

Pisces Season wants you to dream up the career projects, goals, and situations you’d most like to sink your teeth into. A couple of miscommunications may derail your progress, but it’s only temporary. Pay attention to the deeper meaning that makes itself known through the mayhem—it’s trying to get your attention.

Cancer

Long-term plans may feel a little further from reach than you’d like. You’re in the process of unwinding yourself from what is unnecessary, and although it may take a moment, you’re being reoriented towards what has much more meaning. Trust the twists and turns of your process.

Leo

Pisces Season sees you reviewing your bank statements and the receipts of all your resources output. It’s the perfect moment to reclaim your time, energy, and talents from the places you may have mis-invested in.

Virgo

Knowing that we matter to others gives our life a sense of purpose. We can’t base our self-worth on what others think of us, but we can focus on the ways in which we can be of service to each other. Pisces Season asks you to keep your boundaries intact, energy protected, and your heart open to those that know how to be humbled by love and its lessons.

Libra

The routines that keep you feeling refreshed need to be focused on. Whatever takes up too much time and yields too little result needs to be weeded out. Pay close attention to any work-related miscommunications and make sure to listen to the deeper meaning.

Scorpio

You’re reviewing what brings you joy, what keeps you feeling creatively fulfilled, and which pleasures help you to heal. Some miscommunications may arise in your romantic life, but the surface of the argument isn’t where the truth is. Keep asking what’s underneath the obvious facts and stats so you can get to—and talk about—the feelings that everyone might be a little afraid of.

Sagittarius

Pisces Season wants you to spend some time dreaming, resting, and restoring your energy. Though the Full Moon on March 9th puts a major punctuation on the career goals you’ve recently reached, this peak still needs to be balanced by an equally grounded relationship to your foundations.

Capricorn

Communications are a major point of focus for you this Pisces Season. Until March 9th, it’s good practice for you to double check the details of your day-to-day life and pay attention to what you feel about what’s being said more than anything else. The truth may be buried under pleasantries, so pay attention to what is being omitted.

Aquarius

Pisces Season has you counting your coin and considering new ways to make ends meet. Have compassion for yourself if you find that you’re struggling with your confidence. Self-esteem is a fickle friend, but you can always choose to be on your own side no matter what you are or are not winning.

Pisces

Happy birthday! You were made on purpose and perfectly. You are worthy of love, safety, and joy. You are just the right amount of everything; never too much, too little, too old, or too young. Anything or anyone that says otherwise should be reconsidered as part of your inner circle. Right now, you need those that help you remember who you are, not reinforce what you aren’t.
